Bitcoin Forum

This year, in abid to join the best bounties around to flex the time; several peeps have highlighted numerous bounty programs and tagged them safe due to the team reputation, the projects product output, and because it is listed on a reputable.

It has given different results, with Hex price skyrocketing, while burn and spyce struggles; And the safe sheng also removed kyc as requirements.
I urge every hunter, to realize that while selecting safe bounties to join; also join because you will get profits from trading your rewards.

Do your researches, evaluate your chances of earning well; before joining.

Good, I think I will be very careful from now on when choosing bounties, HEX bounty was over and they paid hunters, some make over 150$ and those who still have their tokens now have over 300$ because HEX skyrocketed

The most trusted bounties that looks legit like blockburn and spyce that are already trading turned useless now, listed bounties are more dangerous nowadays

At this point in time I think it's better not to depend on bounties that are trading, if the project is not a popular one it's dangerous to promote them, Cartesi was never listed until bounty is over and the team chooses binance, let's choose bounties wisely and don't fall for useless projects just because they are listed e.g AZBI

Most of the bounties are worthless these now, the probability of making something reasonable from bounty campaign is close to zero now. Taking part in bounty campaigns now are more like gambling. Everyone trying their luck on as much as possible campaign they cab take part.

Even if a bounty is listed and trading some will say you should check if there is enough volume, well this is not always the case, sometimes before bounty duration runs out the volume will be gone already, SPYCE bounty has good volume from the start and now it's not available anymore, the coin is not listed on Probit exchange anymore

BitConnect was a very popular project (although not ICO if I remember correctly) and look at the damage they've done. Popular =/= legitimacy. There are lots of factors to take into consideration if you want to decide whether a project is worth the investment or not - popularity may be one of them, but shouldn't be the decisive one.

Yes very true, just because a project looks safe to join doesn't guarantee payment or good rewards, there are many lessons still Available in every corner of crypto world, scammers are now using new tricks to fool bounty hunters, most times we end up promoting their scam projects for them and still they won't pay, it's definitely more like a gambling den now

Probit has cancelled to launch spycee due to the special reason. I would say that sometime the bounty that doesn't look promising will perform even better than the promising one like cartesi caused by it has applied the payment into the some batches.

Research as much as you can before joining because it is the participants responsibility to maintain himself the position that he wants upon joining. If he feels that it's a good bounty yet he never did his part, it's his problem as he joined. But, if you have done your part and you are aware of the potential and the possibility that it can turn the other way, then you must be aware of it and accepted the risk that it has.

Entering a bounty campaign is like gambling you don't know if you will earn or not especially if the project is not listed or trading yet. All we can do is minimized those risk by selecing good with potential. We need to review each project carefully. But sometimes good projects with decent team also fails, we really don't know it is like a bet. Unless a campaign is already trading you can estimate what reward you are able to earn.

Agree, because now it is very difficult to get a bounty campaign that is truly legit and hopes that if the sales are successful the team of the project will not run away bringing investor money or not paying the participants. Maybe campaigns like social media or blogs can join many campaigns but if only join signatures I feel sad because they have tried to make quality posts and try to promote their projects in this forum.

Just like participating in an ICO you are at the mercy of the person running the project, if they are honest you can do ok, if they are not you will end up wasting your time and money. I prefer to put my trust in code and not in people that may decide they would rather keep everything for themselves rather than keep their promises.

I see this as a perfect illustration of what bounty hunters face, we are always at the mercy of the project or bm
Its either bounty rules change at the end, or rewards slashed, or refusal to pay bounty hunters and fulfill their promises.

But how do you trust in code? is it a special reaction or something ?

Of course, research is very important before joining a bounty. but for now almost all bounties are still in a "pending" state in the distribution and listing process, so I ask all of you to stay calm and be patient through this situation. because the market is trying to recover and is added to the existence of a pandemic.

Even well-known platforms make bounties and do not pay.  Last year, I made a bounty exchange OOOBTC.  Now I can’t even visit their site.  And this is just one example.

I do hope that you know that HEX is a ponzi scheme right? So I don't think that it is a good example to call it a good project to join or invest.

Of course hunters don't trade usually, they can want to get their rewards and move on the next project to project. And even if you hold the tokens you are rewarded for, chances are the price are going to be dump. And that's why bounty hunters have the habit of dumping their token once they received it regardless if the project has the potential to have a good price in the future.

With so much scam out there i don't think profitability is a problem, hunters just wants to get paid, doesn't matter the amount as long as they are paid, its always better than nothing. I do agree people shouldn't do bounty full time because there's a high chance they wouldn't get paid, i think they are aware of that.

It is a scam project, so surely you will never get money from them. I have also seen this bounty in 2019 and have quickly missed it, currently we have a lot of good campaigns for us to participate. Take advantage of current time to make money

Same with you guys, all of us are fully aware that most of the bounties project today is worthless and sometimes you can't even earn a single penny from it. That's true choosing bounty project is like more gambling but sometimes, even if you are lucky enough to join in the decent projects still there are instances that it ends up on being sh*t project. The sad reality is there are more scam/failed projects that the decent one and it's totally sad that you see some bounty participants who create quality topics and posts that earning nothings and they just wasting their time on doing the tasks.

So far, I don't give any time on participating bounty projects and I currently focus on the projects that pay me on bitcoin which is more guaranteed that I can make income from doing the posting. Plus, what you said OP, we should totally do research before we participate in the projects because it is more likely to help us to avoid the failed/scam projects. Doing research is the best thing to do if you really intend to earn good profit from bounties.

That fault is on bounty manager, it's true that many don't get paid but most times it's better to join campaigns from serious respected bounty managers, it's also time to think twice before promoting popular bounty projects, they do fail alot nowadays

But bounty managers receive payment separately from bounty hunters (most often weekly). He could gets paid, but hunters receive reward "in X months/after ico/ieo/etc". You can join bounty managed by "respected bounty managers" and not get paid at all, because the projects decided not to pay. Who to blame then?

Very few bounty hunters managers cares about bounty hunters rewards for example julerz12 and bubbalex, they always make sure that bounty hunters get paid no matter what, this is what I called good bounty managers

Bounty is now gambling I guess, you can't predict which one will turn out good or bad but still only one way to find out is hardworking and some luck, joining every good bounties won't be life demanding I guess

In this space,you never can tell what would happen,no matter how careful you want to be in choosing bounty projects so to get reward, it might turn out to be a waste of time,early this year,every bounty hunter looking for listed bounty,well that shouldn't be the case,do more reward and choose good project along side listed project,in that case there would be stability.

The point is not all bounty campaigns are honest and paid you on time as they promise during the start of the promotion. remember that they can change the rules anytime as they want to. But I agree at some point doing your own research before you join is the best thing to do to minimize the risk and narrow your choices while picking some quality bounty projects to promote.   

I little advise to anyone holding Hex to get ready to dump that project anytime to avoid been rekted. the bounty was successful and it paid hunters very well. lesson learnt is that bounties still pays. is the token worth holding, the answer is Nope because most credible sources has confirmed it to be a scam project. the dump will come sooner or later.

Join listed and non listed bounties, I think that's the best way, if you only choose listed bounties you might end up wasting your time, some will be scam and few will be different

Spyce is still trading on BW.com( BW.com remain a better exchange with bigger market for the token) and I would have consider probit delisting a positive news on the project, however probit only removed some token pairs. Probit is capable of producing the fake volume you complained but I read the project have more download on playstore (average of 500 per day in last few weeks). I believe the use case will improve the market and volume with time, we might also need to consider the whole market price move to judge a coin.

 Scam/safe and money you make doesn't have to do with anything between them. There could be a project where it is scam and still offer you small amounts to make it look like legit, or it could offer a lot because well they are scam so they don't care so they want to attract a lot of people hence why they could offer a lot. However there could be projects which are legit, either they are going to be big one day or just suck badly and fail but not because they are scams but only because they are bad at what they do, and those people could offer you a lot of money, or they could really offer just realistic amount as well.

 So as you can see, just because one place offers realistic doesn't mean they are safe, or just because they offer a lot they are good, those two things have nothing to do with each other and never have, totally different concepts if you ask me.

It's good to find a campaign that you will get your reward and the team working hard to get the platform moving even it's not really promised a good reward for bounty hunters, bounty hunters have realized that we will not have campaigns that promise thousands of dollars rewards, getting thousands of dollars in rewards is a thing of the past.

You only give examples of low exchanges, not well-known exchanges, try to look at the Binance and Kucoin Platforms, they always pay when making gifts or other programs such as events for example, so don't say "Even famous platforms make bounties and not pay ", I guess you are wrong in assessing this because it generalizes all platforms that already exist.

The only difference I can see in all this bounty melodrama is the availability of an exchange, those bounties that are regarded as "safe to join" are considered so because they are trading on exchange,  if you talk about evaluating the chances of earning well, I think you should have thought of that before joining a crowded bounty with your jr member account,
With this rank of yours, don't expect any meaningful earnings from signature except you participate in other campaigns in the bounty.

Good for you man, this is how it should be. unlike somebody who jumps off when he sees a new bounty has been posted rushing to join it without proper research and this kind of attitude will to no payment because the bounty he promoted is not real or fake. sometimes it does not have the capability to pay its participants due to the lack of amount of sales. Many bounty participants have been left with nothing because of their laziness to research a certain project to promotes. we cannot blame them because they see some people flocking to join those new bounties.

Good ico is hard to find good now. Which project will be successful, it is not known in advance. So if the project is not successful then there is no profit even after getting bounties payment. Now most of the bounties are worthless, if you are lucky then the bounty you have participated in can be successful. But there is no guarantee until you get the bounties payment and get listed on any exchange. Because if you get the payment but it is not listed in any exchange, then have no value for that token. Many such bounties have already came to the market and gone.

So it is better to do research after joining any bounty and then join. The amount of scam ico is so high that it is difficult to find a good ico.

Yes, and sometimes everyone is also confused about choosing a campaign, because all campaigns are still not necessarily fully successful, so that it also makes the campaign participants tend to be bored in following it.

There are many hunters who skip their research and trust some random users advice on those project rating platforms. Who knows they are giving such advices and in return to that they are getting paid by the project. There are many advisors who only list pros of a project not cons. Always stay away from such advisors whether they are giving an investing advice or safe to join bounty advice.


^Exactly.

Now it’s almost impossible to select a bounty company to work for. The choice is made according to the type of bet in a casino, guessed, not guessed. And no matter how promising the campaign looks and whatever they say about it, this is not an indicator. Here's how lucky.

       There are many projects that seem to have a lot of potential and people choose to participate in their bounty campaigns. Unfortunately, these projects do not always prove to be real or profitable. Many of them are SCAM, and the time spent by the bounty hunter is unproductive for him. I recommend participating in bounty campaigns of projects already listed on the exchange and that do not keep the coins blocked until a certain date.

I agree with you, the two project you mentioned above i.e blockburn and spyce were well hyped project which got every hunter talking about them but they end up turning almost shitty upon listing where as the hex which was down rated did more than 100x from the listing price already. I think the best thing is to do as much as possible bounty, at the end pf the day few will pay up

ICO is now unbelievable where a lot of failure continues and even investors get through it, I have often joined bounty campaigns and have received some bounty tokens but until now most tokens are worthless and not on the market even though the project has reached the finish when it is said. really lots of crap tokens in my wallet.

Bounty now does not need to join directly, I better do what research I can, but for me it has been effective.

They conducted an ICO in 2016 here is the thread   
[ANN][BCC] Bitconnect Coin - Decentralized Cryptocurrency (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1681719.0), many got trapped because of FOMO in bitcoin and wanted to make money and they were able to convince new investors and shrug off anyone calling them a ponzi with constant lies.

There were many websites who used to rate every ICO projects and many or all used to take money from the projects and give a high rating, you cannot trust anyone who reviews and rate investment.

Are you still thinking of joining the project that will hold an ICO? I have even discarded the option for a long time, it is too risky, and no one will guarantee that your funds will not be lost. Even though IEO isn't perfect, there is a guarantor that your money won't just disappear.

I have gone through the thread and there are several blame games, as well as compassionate words.
As much as bounty is rewarding for noobs and pros, we must not forget the reality of bounty hunting; and the reality is that rewards depend on the team, not the bounty manager.

It is true that sometimes bounty managers, are culpable and allow non payment by non interference, but it is rare.

Rewards, and profits from reward all depend on the team, why ? we have seen team members that dump the market before sending rewards like stib tokens; and we have seen team members that sent rewards at the peak of their projects in harmony and tokoin. i used most recent example so you would take note.

Shit happens in bounties too. Either they slash the allocation or they lock the token and distribute when it's valueless or they swap contract address and distribute the fake one. You can't be too sure because the ones you think would be sure might not be.

I think when a project swaps and changes its algorithm they will provide information to the participants in the telegram and it can show that they are enthusiastic about how much they are interested in the coin because only those who really pay attention to their project can get a lot of profit.

Guarantee fo what? I have seen those who have participated in blockburn have already scammed and the participants will never get a reward. You must see an ico just like solana was doing better like it can be listed on binance instantly. The result will be going back again to the project to determine whether it's good to invest or not.

That is an unexpected thing. Projects look successful, sales are good, bounty campaigns are also smooth, but there are often sudden changes before distribution: payments will be made in 3 months, or tokens are locked and it will take 365 minutes to open them. That's really sad. This proves that being a bounty hunter requires extra patience.

Taking the time to analyze the project is very much needed, and the important thing is not to be easily provoked even though the token or coin is already listed in the market. Many things are predictable, prepare mentally and extra patience.

 
well the safest bet now a days is to join exchangeable bounties or the one which pays weekly. Apart from that i agree you need to do some research before joining any project as you are investing your time into promoting their product.

There is no smooth bounty anymore. Everything that we expected will ruin anytime. Maybe the sell is good or the project get listed on big exchange. But, the distribution of the reward will happen on next 4 months  ;D. I think we can only anticipate that condition.

It's so sad. Even if the project is successful, it does not guarantee that it will provide fair rewards for bounty participants. Often the rules change, the distribution is delayed, rewards are locked, etc. But what else can I do? that's the risk.

At least we have tried and got a good chance to have this lucrative side job. I think, hard work and effort alone is not enough for now, but also luck. So don't give up easily :)

I knew someone was going to mention AZBI. I wanted to even check if they still have active bounty participants. If there are people still participating in their bounties, it men's they are not aware of what is happening and that they are not active on this forum enough to read information as they come.
I think generally, we should not expect all the projects we rated well at the beginning to end well, so as not to feel disappointed.

No one has really a fortune ball to see which one will be succesful. Yes you are right there are safe campaigns to join but also some projects such as hex and ixinium that skyrocketed should not be judged. But knowing that hex has some allegation on their project means this could be another pump strategy of the team. But who knows right? We should remember that airdrop and bounty is a gamble and those have high courage to risk for anything could win the game. Check those who joined hex campaign, they earned huge anf those who judged the project now creating something bad about hex. Life is not fair right? Crab mentality will always be seen no matter how you act fairly.

Bounty campaign has been with us, and we should learn from it on the previous years  that we are doing it.

You should only rejoice when you are able to sell your bounty tokens on exchange for good money, if this haven't happen just have it in your mind that you might not get anything from the bounty project, quality projects might not pay out a dime and a very low project can pay you big

Hex bounty did so well, it's same thing with ixinium bounty too, the lowest rated bounties are the ones taking over, lucky are those bounty hunters who joined these bounties, i think I haven't learned my lesson, I joined blockburn and Spyce bounty and now I'm at loss, same thing happened to me last year where I missed temtum and Tokoin

I have not seen any high rewarding bounties after 2018. Till date either very few of them have seen exchange and those awhich are their are struggling to survive.

For example Cartesi, it is a good project which is being promoted by a good team. It did get listed on Binance on 23 of April. The price at that time was $0.5 and now it has gone down to $0.3. Volume have also declined considerably.

In my opinion Bou ties are over now. There are very few projects left in the market and those which are their are struggling to get investing.

What was the reason you have chosen to participate in Relictum Pro bounty? Do you know that they had a bounty campaign before and the project has not got listed, but got renamed into Relictum Pro Blockchain 5.0, from 4.0 ? :) Dont you have an inner feeling, that when your bounty campaign ends, they will rename themselves into Blockchain 6.0 ? :)

The problem is if the team can change the agreement anytime and that looks not fair for everyone in the campaign. I would like say that there was still a legit bounty but the problem is the distribution is very complicated to be done in a short time.
I quite disagree with your statement above.

I disagree with this because of the two managers that you mentioned ever,not pay bounty participant even they also once managed scam project

Can you provide your proof that these two managers did not pay their bounty participants?

Especially julerz, he is a good bounty manager that always secure the rewards of bounty participants of the campaigns he handles. He even had this option of holding the funds so he can do personally the distribution of rewards after the bounty ends.

The market has changed, not all good project will come to a successful result then get list on exchanges and paid. Bounty now like a lucky game. You choose good campaigns to join to increase your luck ratio, that's all.

You may get a higher reward by joining some campaign from the ICO but there would always be risk of getting nothing. If you join an overhyped campaign, your stakes value may go so low that the reward won't be worth the effort. Thus I go for those campaign which though have less reward, but are predictable from the beginning so I don't get frustrated for not receiving the reward for my effort.

wait . you said you already know the campaign that your joining so this does mean that you already know that they are going to pay you  but if ever it fails i dont think you wont feel frustrated  . you cant only feel frustrated if you join an unpredictable campaign because you know that what your entering is risky  . safe to join campaign means they are trusted or already verified so this does mean that they are paying but if they dont pay then they shouldnt be included on this category at the first place .

We can never really tell which one is going to be successful or which is not despite all the hype or how bad some other may look like at a certain project but it would still depends on how the team would make an additional adjustments once tokens has been released to any exchanges. HEX had their promotions and giveaways still on going after having their bounty ended and that is what makes it a little relevant till now, unlike some other projects just vanish after boounty campaign.

Agree, choosing the right bounty campaign makes our work not in vain. Bounty campaign has a long duration and I think we will definitely expect payment. With the right research and choosing a good bounty manager, I think the campaign that we follow will not be in vain

Previously the two of them had indeed managed a project that did not pay.
Bubbalex manages BRAVO, which until now the project and payment is unclear, and the same as Julerz has managed the project which is not clear but I forget the name of the project.

If you're trying to make a living from participating in bounties, then you're almost certainly going to find yourself wasting your time.

The vast majority of projects only run bounties because they can't afford real marketing that costs real money.

Instead, they give out their tokens which almost certainly have zero value to idiots that think that they're going to strike it rich when they hit an exchange.

Sure, there's always going to be the odd bounty that really pays off, but unless you've got a crystal ball, it's unlikely you'll find it.

Spend your time on more productive pursuits and you'll likely be better rewarded in the long-run.

That's pretty correct, even in the past, the bounty is only rewarding if it will pump once its listed in exchange, at this time it has change, though its assured that it will be listed since it's done through IEO but there's no guarantee that the price will stay at the IEO price, so how much more a pump.

Choosing a good project is quite hard nowadays because of the number of scam projects. If we happen to end up in a legit bounty the next problem that we face is the progress of it and how the team will handle the listing of exchange and their support to not get dump by the investors and hunters who wanted to take profit.

We cant predict the price of the tokens/coins after getting listed in exchanges thats the risk we have to face.

At the initial stage, they might want to distribute, but if there is an event which could possibly affect the price wither positively or negatively, they might use that as an excuse to pause the distribution. With this happening, it is still the same as not keeping their words.
They make vain promises, with the intention of attracting bounty hunters, words that they cannot hold unto. Sometimes you just imagine staying for months or year without getting your reward and while asking, they tell you soon or when the market is healthy.

Mate if you come across any safe to join campaign posts like @ cryptoaddictchie safe bounty campaign please learn to do your own research and join at your own risk, blockburn was on cryptoaddictchie list of safe bounties but that's up to you, he did his own research before picking and I expect everyone to do the same, safe bounty campaign posts on this forum can not always be perfect

Scam projects are inevitable, they are not members of those projects. So they cannot guarantee good results after the bounty ends, but when you participate in their campaign, I believe you will have many opportunities to meet good projects.

Yes, it's a way to different nowadays. Many projects still ongoing but only few of them are legit and others still struggles in listing in crypto exchange. They didn't survive on massive violatility in the market. Its lucky if the token is listed in exchange, I recommend to sell all of them if its not good condition. We're still in the process of getting back the trust over the new projects being launched. In order to make this back, a projects like cartesi will continue and disregard all the scam projects going out there.

There is no rejoice for joining a safe bounty campaign until you finally get paid and you sell for good dollars, just because a project appears to be legit or looks like a quality bounty project don't mean anything to me, too many projects died already since 2018, results is all that matters now not appearance

No manager can guarantee you a good project. Though some may insist for an escrow before managing the campaign but it won't work for ICO based tokens as they can guarantee the amount but not the value. The value would be decided by the market. Managers that exclusively deals with listed coins would only have a 100% success rate.

It's hard to find a perfect bounty, a combination of safe and profitable bounty, but between the two I pick  safe bounty even if the rewards is not that huge at least I am getting paid for my time and effort, it's hard to work on a projects for months that will end up getting nothing.

Also there was Agareum bounty managed by bubbalex. Almost half a year has passed and it still unknow when reward will be distributed and the project haven't given any info what these tokens will be used for (it is obvious they will be used in in-game shop, but no one knows when it will be added to the game).

I'm not blaming bubbalex for bad management or something else. I'm just pointing on a project with unclear future.

Thats a big accusation! I joined julerz12 campaign on Guide bounty and received the payment. Also they are just human like you, sometime projects are the one deceiving the hunters and that includes the manager. Ive seen a lot of incident that the project turn out scam but would you blame the manager which just hired just to handle the campaign? Yes they also must be careful on choosing their projects but there is always a tricky project that will slipped no matter careful every manager are. Dont just judge them because of that.

Yap, even reputable managers do not guarantee that you will receive a high fee, but they do guarantee that you will not be hit by a scam, even if the prize received is very small, at least you get paid and do not do useless promotions.

At this time Julerz started to hold bounty token from the project he was managing, so every Bounty participant would definitely get paid when the Bounty ended. Escrow system Like that is one way to avoid scam projects.

It is literally the opposite of that. I have seen a campaign that paid in bitcoin once, they were paying incredibly small, this company collected about 13 million dollars in funding and was giving away 1k of that to 100 people, that means 10 dollars per person and that's it, no upside but no downside. Do you know how many people wanted to join? Last I checked it had like 160 pages of people who are still trying to get in even though it is probably over for two years now.

So, you can give people 10 USDT because you know that won't change and you will still get a thousand people applying, 10 bucks is 10 bucks and you are still getting an insane amount of marketing out of it as well, giving away your own money doesn't make sense neither because people will just sell it and ruin the coin so 10 usdt is much better option for the project as well.

Though it's not that much but having some assurance that you'll be able to get the rewards is much better than being completely scammed by the developers, reputable managers aimed to make sure that every participants will get the amount of shares that they've accumulated but like what you have said the value is still depends from how the project will Push thru.

Due to the increase perception in the market in recent days, we can see that the prices of many successful and safe projects have increased. I always say that before participating in a bounty campaign, research should be done as if it would be the investor of that project. If you get the right results by doing research, you will definitely get more for your time. If we think that there are many bad projects today, it should be known that these projects will not be profitable. Also, I would like to say that according to the team and the studies, projects that seem safe can cause problems in the future. Therefore, careful preference should be made and good research should be done about the project. On the other hand, I would like to remind you that researchers always win because they prefer good campaigns.

It still don't mean you will get paid is what the op is pointing at, most campaign who are already trading in exchange are not that rewarding to bounty participants, in most cases, it is those project you least expect that can bring good reward, although some people think ones a project is trading is the best to join, but we forget their other disadvantage, like splitting reward, pool is ridiculously small, or constant postponement of payment etc.

it is impossible to find useful campaign at this time a lot of scam campaign or get small results, better advice is for now, keep trying and working
hope that the campaign situation will recover as before

There are indeed alot of scam campaign lately, but it is not impossible to get rewarding campaigns today.
All it takes is a willing heart, doing researches and findings before joining bounty.

All of the good features of a perfect campaign doesn't guarantee success or profit for projects and even bounty hunters. There had been a lot of bounty campaigns out there that had a successful crowdfunding stage, all sold out, listed in an exchange and a working product and now had almost far from their initial stage. Just do a diligent work or research before joining, this will save you time from joining scam campaigns.

No bounty campaign can be said safe for receiving a good reward unless it is paying with BTC, ETH or some established coin. Even coin which is listed already will not give a good reward at the end. It is always risky to join the bounty and one should join remembering that. Do not compare projects with Hex, Hex is a well planned scam shit.

In joining a bounty campaign, we should first apply further research about the project if its worth it to join with. Because some bounty projects are just fraud and all your time and effort are to be wasted in such kind of bounty projects.

Many of bounties are delay their reward to their participants because of the market can not be predicted. That makes the participants become sad, and many of the projects have to turn into a scam project because they only said wait, wait, and wait without any answer regards on when the project will distribute the rewards. Doing research will help us to determine which project can survive, but that doesn't guarantee for us to get a good project.

What can you say about 777Coin and Bitvest.io signature campaign? They do pay in bitcoin, but recently they switched from paying once a week to once in two weeks. In the rules it is mentioned that payments will be send Mon-Wed, but in reality, they are send on Thu-Friday :)

I dont want to claim that they are unsafe or scam, but take a look from a newbie point of view - you post max amount of "60 posts*2" plus about 20 posts in third week and still havent received the payment. aka you've done 140 eligible posts and still wait to be paid :) Wont it make bounty hunter nervous?

I think I would reconsider joining some bounty campaign again soon since it seem's like it isn't a total waste at all because there are still some good project to join.
But I am curious if it would be more profitable than joining a BTC signature campaign? I know it is the risk of joining bounty but if I would see some good projects to promote then maybe I would join them later on.

A good analysis not only discusses the results of work alone but the cost and time spent by someone in completing the given task. Spend your time properly and benefit the project owner too.

The least project you expected to survive and bring profits can be easily ignored, many bounty hunters aims for quality bounties and those who don't join quality bounties have good news to share

Ya i agree with you. You can minimize the potential of fooled by following experienced Bounty Manager
I'm following the bounty who is promoted by experienced Bounty manager like Arteezy, Wapinter,Btcltcdigger.
I believe they promote a legit and good bounty

But it still can't guarantee you get the money, you will get the tokens but need to wait for them to be listed at the exchange. And if those tokens are not listed, then surely you only get useless tokens

It will certainly bring more profit than the BTC signature campaign. If the campaign is successful, you will receive a generous amount of money. The payment campaign with BTC only ensures we receive money every week, and is not afraid of scam projects

on average to be able to enter the exchange takes a very long time and sometimes when it is registered at the exchange place the price is very cheap because there is no support from the developers so to avoid that I suggest participating in a bounty campaign that is already registered at the exchange place.

In this matter you may chose to join the bounties that are coming from already listed for trade-able projects. Or if your are going with any project under IEO or ICO yet, your out put or a good rewards from that bounty depends on their IEO Success, if they can complete their IEO successfully, they will try their best to give profit to their investors and others who are part of their tokens.

signature campaign is different  from bounty hunting the payment they give is too way different also.

About your claim even it takes longer the payment before they send it as long as the campaign is continue all participants  will receive their payment base on what they post.

Bitvest and 777 is long campaign and has been running here so delay the payment is not a problem.

Of course people should doing their own research before joining bounty campaign. But i didn't understand your logic. Why people choose risky projects besides safe projects. You are talking about HEX which is not looks good project at all to me though. Cause that coin listed on several scam exchange and didn't find any reputed exchange yet. It's early to talk about HEX it's worthy or not. I saw also Spyce and Sheng background and i am quite impress about them. There is no doubt we all bounty hunter here work for some profit but we have to remember only a good project can give you a good profit.

Whenever you join a bounty campaign, base it on your own analysis and research. Do not join because of the campaign manager, or because the requirements are easy, just because it is listed, or no KYC or it is convenient due to requirements. Join a campaign because you think it has a potential based on your own research.

I agree. Though it is very important to check the credibility and legality of the bounty campaign we wish to get engage, it is also important to see whether we will be having a good time with it or will I our engagement be worthy in a sense that we will be earning good money from it. As a bounty hunter, we are not just seeking for safe campaigns but we are also taking into consideration the rewards we can obtain from it because it is one of the reason why we are seeking bounty campaigns to have a work to do wherein we can earn an income. Upon seeking for a good bounty campaign, we are also seeking for good offers that is suitable for our preference then we get to know the project wherein we do thorough research because the offer gets our interest making us to participate on it. It is not just all about the safety (though it is the very first thing we must check) but also the reward we can obtain because we are applying for a job to earn income.

There is no such thing as safe in crypto space, if someone tells you that a coin is safe he or she don't know a thing, blockburn looks so safe and look at where it ends, many coins looks safe and dead few month later, it's all risky-risk in crypto world

Always wrong by choosing campaign project, when checking some bounty campaign have listed on exchange market but reward littel and delay distribution, joining the project not listed on campaign we must waiting for long time and need patience how long we can sell coin.

One mistake we can make as bounty hunters is depending on bounty hunting; it is totally wrong.
Even trading; you cannot depend on it; it makes you emotional and tied to the capital which can ofcourse cause rash decisions while trading.

Even while choosing bounties wisely, we must also hope for better and honest bounty devs, because digitalbits has refused to pay over a year now.
Do your own research thoroughly, but you still need some items of luck.

I know that it takes longer to get your payment, but so far participants were paid for 12/04-19/04 period and continue to post. Also there is no info and explanation from topic starter. The only one who writes - is the bounty manager, and he mostly accepts new participants and sends spreadsheet to topic starter.

Both campaigns ran for a long time, but I see that people are getting a bit nervous. Imagine someone count on that unpaid amount and wants to sell as long as the bitcoin price is high.

Julerz handles bounty campaigns very well and he is trusted and credible however  I once participated in his bounty campaign (an exchange) we are all paid our respective token but later the campaign turned scam ie they never launched that token obviously the exchange was purely a scam however I wouldn't blame julerz he did a wonderful job.

This makes a big example and a credible lesson that being large and promising does not mean that payment will be made.
The same can be accused of Kucoin recent contest, where instead of sending the 500$ as stated in campaign rules; they opted to change terms and placed a ridiculous one instead.

Yes. An article written for Hex and got rewarded is worth over 800$. Hex was accused and tagged scam although. But it later turned out to pay hunters who worked it. My advice, while searching and researching projects to join, also ensure to participate in them earnestly. Coming to bounty, the project which is down rated now pays. While those over rated now turn shits.

In my opinion now IEO projects that are listed on good exchanges do not guarantee we can get big profits. So this is a game developer
to fool bounty hunters, usually after the bounty is finished tokens are not distributed or distributed but locked for a month. When it is
usually a good price and high volume, but once tokens are distributed or unlocked. For some reason suddenly the price of dumps and
volumes is low. So my advice be more careful in choosing a bounty, don't feel safe because already listed on popular exchanges.

You tells you that a campaign is safe in the first place? That's a wrong or misleading idea, many projects will have good presence and before of after bounty campaign runs out they dump and exit scam

Its a great news heard that sheng removed already their kyc requirement. I partcipated in their first round of campaign. We still don't know how's gonna struggles in the project were monitoring. Its very unpredictable its like any other business that struggles when ever the process will be and even they plan it for the long time. I think project team should be careful now since new projects are now in bad reputation for users and investors. Its not matter now how long it will be but how will it survive.

This has happened a lot of times already. We thought we had landed in a safe campaign and guaranteed that we make huge profits at the end end of the campaign, but then suddenly the campaign turned into a scam project before we realized it and dumped all the tokens. Good research may have no assurance but it is something that we can do to avoid landing in a scam projects.

Not all projects throw away and come out as fraud, there are also projects that are really good when presented, so you also cannot judge all projects as wrong and misleading, because basically all projects are not the same.

I think this is just the truth of the matter.
In times like this, honest projects with valuable use case but terrible PR will suffer while junk projects will make quick waves in the market.

We as investor, need to start looking beyond profit but value because value will eventually yield profits

we should not generalize all campaign or projects will be scame and exit as fraud. some of them now still exist and even continuesly developt their MVP in market and well accepted by crypto community. in crypto market we see many projects everyday and we must filtered it to avoid loss our money when bought it.

there are users here that filter good from bad  , maybe we can follow them if we dont know how to choose a paying one  . seeing those threads are only an evidence that not all campaigns are the same   . not all are bad and not all are good but knowing them or knowing thier true agenda can be a headache  . i remember i saw a legit project that also turn into bad  . the reason why the show up as good is because to atract people and gains people trust , so that they can scam big time 

I'm still joining IQ cash signature, Twitter and Facebook section and i hope this bounty will make me some good rewards. IQ price stay up some days with there have been listed popular exchange like hitbtc.

The reward from IQ Cash bounty will be too little because many participants joined, too many, for signature campaign that worth 3000$ has over 300 participants already and the price is down on exchange too, now trading at 0.17$

Don't listen to what anybody tell you on this forum, it's normal to do research on any project before promoting them but telling you which project will bring you good reward is a big fat lie, the least project will pay most times

what you say is true, you should do some research before we join the gift program. but not all project owners can comply with requests from prize hunters. if sheng want to erase about kyc rules, it's just a coincidence.

We can't know which project will turn profit after bounty ends so that's why I have to keep joining bounties that are good enough to me, bounty luck is lower than ever but not totally impossible, you have to create chances to end up earning good reward

I found a scam project these one conducted by julerz12 bm. If participated most of bounty, i appreciated the way of escrow (protected bounty hunters rewards). It’s correct he managed few failed projects in the several times. But these are made rewards. I never heard bubbalex managed projects were deceived.                   

It is difficult to say which bounty campaign will give us a high or low reward, so I always take part in campaigns that I think their project may thrive on. Koinpro a project that I am involved in their bounty campaign as an example. I'm not sure if the reward I get is worth it, but I believe that Koinpro will thrive and I will keep the coin when distributed until its price soars.

sometimes a good project does not guarantee that the token can survive or have a high sale value. there are many good projects and tokens have a high selling value but after being listed on the stock the price drops dramatically and doesn't even have a sale value anymore.

if you as an investor I understand how you feel, surely it makes you very disappointed, but for me personally as a bounty hunter it's a little disappointing if the tokens that we get are useless, and that is a risk, which will always be accepted

Hex was very unexpected. After many objecting about that project to be a scammed one, it's now shining in the market. Who thought this project will give so much project to its user. While sheng and spayce project looks the very good and potential one but I think they failed to get well enough support from the community and investors. I think a bounty hunter should check more carefully before joining any project.

Surely it will bring you a good reward, the current price has doubled since they made bounty. And this is a good project, and prices will definitely continue to rise in the future

These are one of the complications of crypto currency projects. It takes more than been good to exist and survive the crypto currency space.

Marketing of projects product need to be top of the scale to have desired token price

In as much one does research for very good project there is always no guarantee. Some very looking project has disappointed. I know a good project that has locked bounty reward for a year now still taking time to pay as I write.

The problem is on the rules that being implemented in the campaign and i think if the team can try to discuss it with the hunters and it will solve this problem but the team was deciding to implement what they have already prepared. As far as i know this is the main concern in all of campaigns.

Agree, too many people participate in the campaign so each will receive a few $ for 4 weeks of work. Hopefully in the future the price may increase and help the bounty hunter can get more money

Actually its not possible to analysis properly that which one is goof and which one isn't. Some bounties were get successful when anybody  can't guess. Its really depends on luck. Hex was an one of the best bounty but unfortunately i missed that. Iq cash is good but a lots of participators make it valueless

Oh thats a lot of task there for you.
Do not forget to register again using the registration form as bounty round 2 commences.


We do need element of luck while doing researches, but it is possible to analyse well to be honest, if you can dyor , check through whitepapers thoroughly for key words relating to bounty rewards etc. you will avoid alot of story projects.

It is much better to do research than not to attempt it and depend on luck unlike what @Jonyshake71 suggest The only clause to that is if one does not know what to check to be sure that's project bounty is genuine, then going for random and just engaging in everything one sees might be another option. Notwithsatnding, i still feel that research is of utmost importance.

Now participating in a bounty campaign that is already registered at the exchange and has a high trading volume is also a very good consideration because when participants get the results of what they do when participating in the bounty campaign they can exchange it at the exchange site into USDT or Bitcoin and can do withdrawals like in this iq.cash bounty campaign.

does have a very long process to be able to get the results of the bounty campaign including the sugnature campaign but I suggest that in the bounty campaign do everything that can be done because if you only participate in one allocation program it will get very small results.

But then, you are still trying to have that luck that is why you're still participating bounty campaign.
I understand why people get so mad when they don't get any rewards from their campaigns. It is not all about finding the legit one because it won't still a warrant to have a decent reward unless it was successful. And you are right, it is just to hoping for luck that this particular campaign that you are within will  have a market value.

So even if someone listed particular projects that are safe to join, it doesn't mean you don't need to do your own research.
If you are a bounty hunter, it is your responsibility to assess the project, don't let others do your homework.
They may be doing you a favour for shortlisting possible good projects, but it is still on you how to select a project that you will promote.
Follow your own instincts, check for the project's updates, read the feedbacks, you can gain insights on what will be their performance in the market.
If you feel that you are wasting your time, stay away, don't wait for too long, you will be wasting too much of your effort if you will not quit early.

Because there are so many unexpected things, even though the campaign was initially very promising, it could become worthless when the reward is locked. When we only rely on people's opinions, there is only frustration when the campaign ends with drama. So, DWYOR is important, we have to really analyze the project, consider our capabilities, then do it wholeheartedly.

Respect every decision you make. You need to know that being a bounty hunter requires struggle and patience. There is no insta-rich, it requires process and luck.

The space is full of so many uncertainties, and i wouldn't totally trust every bounty i join, i do my research, and join in good faith.
If projects as ooobtc, and digitalbits can refuse to pay hunters, then who cant do likewise?

It is not enabling wrong but saying it as it is

It is good to trust personal instinct when joining a bounty campaign, but before using your instincts you also need to fuel your knowledge with the right source of information, that way its easy to decide which is which, risking your time to join a bounty.

Always dyor, and remember its either the bounty pays or fails.

I usually try to support the project if I like its idea. Even if they promise a low reward and mayn't collect the necessary investments. But always need to carefully check both the team and the documentation, because there are too many scammers now.

Sometimes there are other bounty that is worth more than those so called safe campaigns.
We just need to search for it and trust them but I am not sayig that those safe campaign isn't worth it we just have different opinion and choices.

At this point, I think it is better not to depend on the bonus being traded, if the project is not popular, it would be very dangerous to advertise for them, Cartesi is never listed until the money The bonus ends and the group chooses the bonus. Even if the bonus is listed and traded, some people will say that you should check if there is enough volume or not, this is not always true.

This is just it, most trading tokens are already weak and not gaining momentum, luring hunters in crashing the price and refusal to pay up.

But you can not look down on any Bounty

In my opinion, you cannot call it success unless it is finished or unless the projects of the platform is in good execution. I have experienced joining in campaign which is good because the I have received from its last bounty but not new one is not a success so I didn't received any of rewards.

We can find a worth bounty to apply if we have time also to search on them and be careful sometimes because of these so many bounty campaign have no time for us to distribute a bounty rewards. And for now there are a bounty campaign are trusted and I think it was worth to participate on it, Actually the best thing we can do is work hard to find on them are choose those bounty campaign are listed already in exchange.

Yes it cannot be sucess if the project do not execute the product, but there are different angles to this things.
For an investor, if the project lists, and they can get 50-90% profit margin, it is a good success.

For bounty hunters, if they can get good $ from the project, irregardless of if the projects launches or not, it wll be termed success.
So who are the biggest losers? hardcore hodlerS?

Some bounty projects are like that because it is difficult to predict which will result until the end of the campaign, sometimes we are also fooled by their project's deception with such a design that many fall into it.

@TimeTeller is correct you said your instinct is stronger to see a better project because with that we can see and further examine how the project we are going to promote, and one more choose the bounty manager who has experience because they will filter out good bounty projects to promote.

in my opinion it's better to look for a bounty campaign that will soon end because of that it's most likely the project was successful, even though the gift received is smaller than nothing

How can you be sure that a bounty campaign that will soon end is more likely that the project will succeed? Is not the success of a project that is seen from the smooth road map that they (the team) have arranged well? because it is illogical if the success of the project is measured by the duration of the bounty, try to think again to be logical. ;D

this is one way to say that it is at least safer to join but doesn't necessarily mean that we won't lose at any chance.


Lets be realistic Guys ,that bounties now has no promise at all,like what is happening in reality,Bounty days are already gone and we cannot expect any good profit because even if the project is buying?but if time comes that we are available to sell then the value already fell down the ground.


i have not joining Bounties for years now because i am lucky to be part of one longest signature in this forum but suddenly closed this year.

But another luck that i come to join this latest campaign.

With so many campaigns it getting harder and harder to differentiate between good and bad projects and If we don't do proper research before joining them we could end up wasting our time on a wrong project. but these days almost 90-95% projects are either fake or will have 0 value upon listing lol.

True and correct dude, there are a lot of campaign still running and happened in bounties section so far.
That is why as a bounty hunters we need to be wise and careful too of course in choosing the best or
legitimate project campaign. We should have no. 1 basis for it.

I don't even like promoting bounties that are already listed. Most times they find it difficult to pay hunters what is due to them once they realize that the token price has become valuable in the market. I rather be paid before a token is listed. That way I can decide to do whatever I wish with my reward. Someone mentioned Cartesi as credible, but the truth remains that Cartesi also redeemed its promise to hunters after it was listed on Binance. Some other projects would've reneged on that like CitiOS is doing or like Bizpaye which has locked up hunters reward on Proassetz and can't be withdrawn. So, I guess everything boils down to the integrity and credibility of the dev/team behind a project.

But on the other hand you do not promote scam, so you not cause that someone will loose real money due to your greed.  Try to think about it, you are not reaponsible when someone is investing into a scam only because you recommend it?  ;)

You can never really tell which project are going to be successful and which one is going to flop, so if there a given opportunity and you can get rewarded from that certain bounty campaign why not partake, unless the bounty campaign is clearly a scam or have any red flags from the community.

We can easily and safely join any campaigns that we want but it does not mean that all our efforts will get paid when the campaign ends. But the first thing we must do before applying and spending time promoting this campaign, spent time in researching about this project if it is a scam or not. Days to spent promoting project does not last for only a day or days, mostly it is months and this months will only be useless if it is a scam or it did not succeeded.

Sometimes it is enough to look at the number of coins that are allocated to the bounty program and divide them by the number of participants who participate in it. This way we can find out beforehand how much you can earn if the tokens are paid to you. If this amount does not suit you, it is better not to join such a bounty.

I agree with your advice.  We should do some research before we are going to join the projects.  Doing evaluation also give good influences  in preparing yourself for the projects too.  Do not focus on the profit only but also the safety.

I agree with you. Here we need to trust ourselves because we're looking for rewards for work done. Most legit tagged projects do not pay hunters at the end of the campaign, while some pay and the token price keeps tanking whereas scam tagged projects does well for everyone. We should do our own research and promote based on our instincts and chances of payment.

Everything about the altcoin market is uncertain and this includes campaigns.

OP mentioned Hex as a profitable campaign but this was a scam coin. You profited because the scam profited and many stupid people converted their ETH into that shitcoin allowing Heart to earn millions of USD and you with your shilling hot a small share of that profit.

Well it depends on us because one of us in here in a bounty campaign earn even do a small amount, And yes that's it have a many ways to earn while not depending in bounty campaign. We can find some online website that want a skill people like us like editor or anything we have. Choosing bounties are now to difficult full of scam so we need to be careful sometimes promoting them.

Yes, and we also will not know about how much profit if we do not do research together with the evaluation of a project, so in this case our evaluation and research will be very helpful and become the main capital before choosing to join.

Yes this is right. But how can they be convinced that the project is scam if the project continously soar high and even listed on many exchanges. Demand is important for a project, this one has it and liquidity is there. Maybe the scam accusation sometime can be mean for any of us. I did noy participate on this project but I was shocked to see how far that the price goes up since its listing. Maybe risking sometime can reward hunters. Congrats to those who dumped their hex, if this is proven scam then you are lucky enough to sell it at profit.

at least it reduces your chance of getting scam.
yes even though it gets a little paid or even not paid at all.
take part in a campaign such as betting and not sure what the future of the project will be.
but all you have to make sure is that the project is listed in the market.

Doing research does not determine whether you will receive tokens from projects. Good projects can still scam bounty or delay distribution in this market. For us we need to depend on the luck and prestige of the projects

I do research and check every possible way if the project is okay.
however sometimes the outcome isn't what you suppose to expect.
the very least anyone could wish is that the project is not a scam, even it pays the least its better rather than wasted time and effort

Yes, doing research does not determine that a hunter will be paid by the project, but at least he already knows about the direction and concept of the project, so that makes him confident of the project he joins.

There are lot of good looking bounties that seems to pay good amount of money as well but turns out to be a no no. Bounties nowadays are too dangerous to join and there's no guarantee of receiving good payment or even receive a payment at all. Let's all be careful in joining bounties but, no matter how careful we are, still there are more scam or if not, soon to fail projects out there rather than good ones. So let's all wish ourselves goodluck in choosing campaigns. Haha

In this year i cant find really profitable new bounties. This virus situation may be the reason of it

That is not the main reason. The real reason bounty is not as good as 2019 is that investors are not interested in new projects, they are only interested in leading altcoins in this market and it makes new projects It is very difficult to succeed

Yes, crypto investors are not really interested in new project these days but thats not the main reason why new projects are not successful because if the project teams play an important in making their project have an outstanding utility and strategy that will the make the community trust/support their project.
Meanwhile, the reason why investors are not interested in a new project is that most new projects are hype base projects.

Gone are the days when the stakes are rewarding but as long as the campaign is safe and it has potential in the market, I am ok with it, I have participated in many campaigns that promise a huge reward only to find out later that the project is a potential scam I hope the campaigns I'm on right now are good.
