Bitcoin Forum

I've seen one or two bounty campaigns on here with massive token allocations for bounty participants, I'm wondering how this won't affect the value of the token, I believe giving away too many quantities of tokens can easily ruin the value of the token, most especially bounties that are doing 4 Rounds of campaigns, what's your take on this???

Maybe the bounties have a massive max supply? A bounty project with 20 billion max supply can easily pay bounty hunters in 1 to 4 billion tokens for promoting their project, I think this is normal, it's certain that such coins will be at the range of 0.003 to 0.0005$, just a guess.

The ideal percentage of allocation is 1 to 5%, you did not mentioned the percentage but if the supply is on billions and they are giving over 5% that's really a big quantity of tokens, if they are confident that their token has a future and they believe that this is the right supply for their project, we don't need to question it, 1 to 5% is not enough to ruin the value of token but whales who bought 20% of the token and dump it.

I don't invest in any cryptocurrencies that allocate high budgets for the bounty campaign because when bounty tokens circulate they increase the supply and cause the price to fall. In other words, you should not invest in any cryptocurrency that has a high emission rate. As an investor who likes and follows Grin, I did not invest although I created a thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205461.msg53209155#msg53209155) about it in the local forum because it has a very high emission rate (1 Grin per second). If you check the price chart, you will see that the price of Grin has fallen from $10 to $0,5. Also, cryptocurrencies sold recently via initial exchange offer has a very high emission rate, too. Therefore, I have not invested in almost any cryptocurrency except for Bitcoin and Ethereum for a very long time.

Project team should know what will happen once they released huge amount of tokens to bounty hunters, there is 99% chance that bounty hunters won't hold but sell off, but that's not the whole truth about price dump, what about investors ? Who buy at cheap price and sell once they see triple gains

True, as a bounty hunter, I usually consider really careful if I see the bounty projects are providing a very high allocation rate. You're right about the ideal percentage of allocation usually from 1 to 5%. High allocation rate for bounty hunters really brings disadvantage for the projects if they are doing more than 2 rounds of campaign (probably more than 2 rounds).

How many of you are newbies in Bounty world here in crypto?because you seems to be posting a lot these days about the Bounty or Dev or even allocations of tokens a lot now.things that has been gone long time ago because crypto people already knew about their scam activities?

why instead of making this an issue is let your self learn about not joining any project of these scammers so you are not helping them fooling people?
and also instead of spending your time in Bounty why not start learning trading and joining signature campaigns that pays Bitcoin instead.

let's look at their total supply, if the bounty is more than 1%, then the project is likely to collapse when the bounty is distributed, and for bounties who have made 4 laps then I think they are more likely they will scam and fail

I don't see anything wrong with this original post, even if it doesn't mean anything to old members who already knew much about bounties and allocations what about newbies? It's normal to repost what's been talked about many times before just for the new members to learn one or two thing here

I think I quite agree with your opinion that so many crypto tokens allocated to bounty hunters for a particular bounty project might ruin the value of a token in the market because price is a function of demand and supply, however depending of the type of project huge supply is very necessary in some cases

Most bounties I promote this year so far only gives 0.10% of the max supply, it's hard to see projects that gives out 1% nowadays, look at Cartesi bounty, the bounty allocation is damn small but the value is times two of normal IEO price now

You will know the dev of the project's intention. When the project's team offer gives a lot of token to many people it means the project doesn't have any value. And you can differentiate as well that a good project with has a real case and can be functioned in the future will never give a thousand of the token to all people freely.

But they will sell it because they all already know there will be many investor who want it. I have several times to join give away which held by some project and also I got an avarage the token with the amount 2000 token but until now I'm still hold them and see their price, yeah the token has no value become shitcoin.

that will actually affected the value of token if the token didn't get a huge demand from the traders or buyers.
The key should be on how big liquidity that has already gotten by the tokens.  The total allocation doesn't matter a lot when there was a huge volume in the market.

Giving away too many quantities of coins means the project is not valuable, I've seen such happened to project like Moozicore, they did bounty three times with big allocation and in the end bounty hunters dumped and price became worthless

In the current market situation now, volume of tokens given for bounty does not matter anymore as when it's traded in exchange it will just dump.
This would help the bounty hunters as sometimes the original value of the token when traded in exchange will sometimes drop even 10 times, and imagine how would that hurt the bounty hunters after several months of promoting the project.

We cannot blame every user who gets a lot of tokens. If the project really decides to have 4 or more campaigns, they do it. That means they have thought and considered, so there is nothing wrong if after the distribution of dump prices. Because it is the decision of the project directly for its allocation.

I believe there will come a time where new projects won't have choice but to start paying promoters in USD or other top altcoins, honestly if I can control all bounty hunters in this forum many new projects won't see bounty hunters joining their campaigns

Yes it is the prerogative of the project so if the coin will not be successful in the market, it is not by any means the responsibility of the bounty hunters. Remember that bounty hunters are supposed to really sell off their share because that's where they earn money. So no one should really expect them to hodl long time.

anyone loves that to happen but why not paying other standard cryptos instead of paying a usd ?  we are here in crypto hello  .

 before many camapigns only pays in eth and sometimes on other top altcoins but right now i rarely see them  or maybe the coins that time are still new and not consider as a top coin .  so same thing can also happen on new coins that we see on the campaigns nowdays so lets not under estimate them shall we  ? 

Giving a lot of allocation in the bounty is not only done by one or two projects, many projects do the same thing. This will certainly affect the price of the token when it is distributed, but each project developer has their own way of dealing with it.
For example, by distributing in stages or distribution after entering into large exchanges and tokens already have high liquidity, so as not to greatly affect the price of the token.

Do you finish reading the sentence? It says ( or other top altcoins), that includes Ethereum and others, sincerely it will be awesome if we get paid using stable coins or other top altcoins but I doubt it's ever going to happen

Surely it will never happen, they probably won't bounty implementation because it's not so important to the project. They should use that money to develop their project instead of using it to pay bounty

If you consider the ratio of max supply to the bounty allocated token then maybe the team are focusing there marketing by using token only and not fiat from there pocket. Many project do this kind of method before since its ideal for the team that don't startup cash to cover marketing expenses but they have a really good project idea. There are some investors that still support this kind of project. I believe they usually released the bounty token in tranches and with a gap from the end of ICO to protect investors token price and avoid massive slippage in the price.

I can’t comment personally about the token you are pertaining since you didn't mention it. And my statement above is a case to case basis. Invest at your own risk.

Base on my experiences in the few years of doing a part-time bounty works, those too high bounty token allocation which is more than 5% was ended up nothing! (**It depends on the total supply) most of them are just a bunch of useless tokens after it was listed, and here now in the bounty section, there was a bounty campaign that was offering a 10% bounty allocation of the sold token during the entire ICO period sounds suspicious to me. But anyone can join with your own risk!

If they are not scam then they are just really generous. If you would compare the allocation to most campaigns I never seen more than 5% above to give to hunters. Of course it will not happened as the project are still raising funds. Who the hell will give more giveaway if they raised is much lower compared to the value of the money they gathered? It will always depend on the situation.

I hate those too many rounds of bounty also if they are extending with such long period of time.

The bounty allocation looks big because the total supply of tokens is indeed large and usually the bounty allocation is only a maximum of 5% of the total supply. A large total supply might affect the price, but if the project is able to produce a good product, I think the price of the token will continue to increase even though it takes a long time

5% is really too much for new projects. If they make distribution, it will surely cause a serious collapse for that project. I think 0.5-1% is reasonable for bounty's budget

I think that the majority of icos were putting 1% - 2% as airdrop but some coins may put 5% consider their coins were not having a lot of quantities and we must try to see how much the total supply that issued by the ico project.

You have a point, but first we have to look at the supply. If it is in billions be sure hunters to get tokens in thousands. Realistically, I think developers should be looking at how much in $ value they can pay hunters that is achievable. I don't like it when I see bounties with 1$m dollars worth of token to be paid out to hunters, when the project struggles to raise that amount during its IEO. They should come clear 20 - 50k dollars when be fine.

You only feel that way that the tokens are much but this is not the case.
All bounties release a cap of 1-5% of token total supply for airdrops and bounties; hence if a token has a supply of 10 bn and another has a supply of 600 million

Definitely, the quantities will be higher than the other.

But I can see ARCS bounty having huge max supply and the token has huge value of 0.33$ per one, the bounty campaign is only giving out few thousands of tokens at around 30k in dollars, to me it's not always about max supply

What do you mean ? And in the end, their budget is only $ 30k, which is quite a low budget for bounty right now and it certainly will not be able to cause a collapse when the token is distributed.

The max I've seen most of the bounty campaign giving their participants is 5% of total supply. Sometimes they allocate the tokens upfront while sometimes they allocate depending on how much the token is being sold. The ones that allocates 5% of total supply beforehand sometimes provide much more tokens than they actually sell. There's an example of project that gave 5% of tokens as bounty while just 2% of the total tokens were sold on bounty while the 93% are left with the team.

If the disposal is mass then I think it can happen with the influence of prices on the exchange despite having high liquidity, but I see sampat currently ARCS prices still persist at $ 0.3 and it is not impossible after the distribution is done there will be price changes because hunters always discard the token results from bounty.

Firstly, you need to convert this token you consider to be massive to the equivalent price in dollars. You can do this by multiplying the total token allocated for bounty by the price of a token. However, considering allocating huge amount for bounty, from my experience most projects that allocate huge rewards especially now that there a little investors always end up bad for hunters. It is either they do not pay the token fully, they may pay it but end up useless in your wallet without being listed or they change the bounty rules so as to reduce the number of people that will get the token. Most time, project dev use that as a bait for hunters because they know majority of hunters will always look out for bounty with huge reward. However, most time when the bounty get paid, they might lock it to prevent hunters dumping the token.

Giving away large quantities of tokens would only become a success story if the project has huge volume on exchange, every team have their ways of dealing with this but most times the team don't care or have too low experience

In my opinion, a large token allocation does not matter as long as it doesn't exceed 2% of the total supply, but in any case the allocation to the bounty is still somewhat less than the bonus received by investors

Well it depends on the value of such tokens(market and estimated). In most cases, for such projects, upon listing the actusl price is a far cry from what the team estimates. There's hardly any project willing to give out a substantial amount(fiat value) to bounty hunters.

I don't think you can underestimate something like that because something small will be a very big problem, without the support of the developers to keep the price of coins in place of exchange then the price will still collapse and make the price of coins fall despite the allocation given for small bounty campaigns.

You didn't mention the bounty name and their total supply. The ideal percentage of bounty allocation is 1%-3% of the total supply. At present, bounty allocation is not a vital fact as we have been watching bounty means almost free promotion for the project. Maximum project don't pay to hunters hence % is not fact now.

Very simple, usually a bounty campaign that provides a lot of allocation for bounty participants is a campaign that has a cheap token value, such as the "EZYSTAYZ" campaign with an allocation of 30,000,000 EZY REWARD POOLs, and I see that the price is very cheap in Probit exchange, so I don't think this is the case. a problem for the token value, you can see it here:

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ezystayz/markets
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5242599.0 (EZYSTAYZ)

---

and if I may know what campaign you see with a large allocation for bounty participants?

that means if that was a small allocation too. How big the allocation will also depend on total supply too. Investors are the main target for the project that's why they were putting more bonus allocation.
I think this is something that doesn't need to be discussed.

No it wouldn't bring about dump. Compare the token supply with the bounty allocations you will be able to make a conclusion. For instance a token with a 100m supply gives away 1m to Bounty hunters, it is a very minute quantity of the token. Take Hex as an example despite the huge allocation to hunters, price has surged after the bounty distribution.

You are right, actually for a prize and airdrop campaigns only have a small part of the total token available. if counted, the bonus token will be given to investors from the bounty hunter. but sometimes what bounty hunters do by selling tokens together in the market makes investors panic and also sell their tokens, which makes their token market prices go down quickly.

Anyway, this might be true to some extent, especially when the project is not good.  Much supply at times affect the price because of the dumpers, but the fault is not only that of the hunters.  Some projects run airdrops, huge ICO or IEO bonus, huge allocation of tokens reserved for the team and so on.  If the supply of a token is really much, that amount that you think is large for the hunters might be around 2-5% of the total supply.

I would say that bounty hunting is a disrespectful and low-paying job. I'd rather welcome any increase in bounty allocation. Most of the projects have 0.5% to 1% of the total pool allocated for bounties. I would say that at least 5% of the total pool must be allocated as bounty, given the long hours of tedious work the bounty hunters put in to popularize many of these projects.

if the distribution of tokens is really very large, then I would not trust these campaigns. but if these are really honest projects and they give away a large amount of money, then most likely your coins will be frozen for a very long time and by the time they can be used you either forget about them or you don’t want to sell them

can you say the project you mean? related to it depends on the token holder, if for the whole then not, because the initial investor has more tokens than the bounty hunter. prize hunters only get a few% of the total allocation of project tokens.

First impression about these projects are more like scammy because if they wanted to develop their project they will try to keep the token value as stable as possible but if a team is allocating more part just for the promotion means they want to raise money and that's it.

Well, I think it depends a lot on maximum supply (and this would affect the amount that is reasonable to give to bounty hunters for promoting the project)... and there is the innevitable law that high promises are often void... especially in crypto world... in my experience, when the value is high for bounties this means that hunters will never get it, or because the token price drops forever, or because they will not pay hunters, or even because it is a scam

Its the matter of how much token supply any project is having. This decides the capitalization and thus price. One million tokens can be worth $100 and also 100 tokens can be worth $100. I don't see any differences only because of the number of tokens. Its all part of the project's token metrics.

Sometimes it take 2 or 3 rounds of bounties but the end was not totally be succeed, Most of them are smoothly gone. So feel it scam if thats the way they work and I encountered that kind of bounty always always do promise but in the end they making more reason and always the said a same word soon So we need to be careful if we want a better bounty campaign in these year.

The simple truth about these sect of bounty campaign those campaign that doesn't get to their final destinations. Some times ago, I participated on a bounty and they paid in their tokens and was in  high quantities, at the very end of the tokens, everything was dumped and the tokens as at today is worthless than fiats. Although, MB8 campaign tokens was issued on the ground of high quantities of token but was backed with good project with prospect unlike these bounch of tokens everywhere from scammers.

So what do you mean about large? if you mean about the total allocation and i don't think it will exceed more than 3% to be given to the hunters. Some trusted bounties were even giving less than 2% or it was around 1%. The locked period has already applied to make sure the distribution will not disrupt the condition of the market. That's the reason why the developers were locking the rewards.

Don't get bothered with that coz it won't significantly affect the price for they are already at nothing. They are just throwing it anyway and probably because they find themselves keeping this shitcoin won't have any sense at all, so they will do this as it might give hopes to the participants. Think this one, you have millions of tokens but zero in market value, this is what it happens. It for sure you got surprised because of the amount but much more surprising how it value in the market which is more shameful to them.

It depends on a lot of factors and in the end what matters is the product, use cases and community support, if a project has all these it has high probability of success irrespective of how many tokens were given away by them during their bounty campaigns.

It definitely puts some pressure on the price of the token but i think that the effect will be for short term only and if the ecosystem and use cases of the project are strong it will also has decent demand for their tokens in that case the negative effect of bounty tokens will not be felt that much. Also keep in mind promotions and bounty campaigns are the lifelines and the core of marketing plans of all these projects so forget the myth that these are free tokens it is the rightful reward of bounty hunters that they have earned by completing the tasks, following the rules, spread the word out and put their time, effort and energy so it is well justified.

Yes. Even if the bounty project has a lot of tokens to be distributed at the end of the campaign, it might dump at the end of the day but if there is a good promotion done on the project, investors will always see good opportunties to invest in it. Bounty project who has made a good impact to the audience or to the investors are most likely to succeed in the end.

I think so and what matters a lot is the liquidity. it doesn't matter how much has already given as long as the coin has good liquidity and it will be fine.

The reward will always be adjusted with the supply that available for the project.

The development progress matter a lot.

Its actually okay, if the total supplies of the token is big.
And its really up to the team when they will release its token, regardless on how much they would give out
but then again if they control the traffic distribution.
it could really maintain dumpers at the edge.
benefitting not only the hunters but also the investors

now the team has found a new way to keep prices stable, they do a gradual distribution to bounty hunters, for example 1% to 10% every month, so I think a very large allocation for the bounty will not be too influential. even projects that have a small allocation now implement such a thing
but all also returned to what the total supply was and also saw quality of the project, get lots of requests or not.

Maybe its his/her first time joining bounty campaign with that huge value only $ 30k . ;D
Definitely low budget for bounty campaign, And their are many participant in the campaign which includes that each participants will earn small amount of the token. The token will not dump if their are many opportunity and use case about the project.

The best way to keep the price stable when distributing bounty is to distribute tokens in batches. They can distribute tokens in 2-3 batches over 3 months and I believe this will make their tokens much more stable.

It depends on Project total token supply and also budget allocated for marketing bounty is the major crypto currency strategy from beginning will create awareness about project in community . More over it will increase the circulation supply . I am mostly looking for project whcih is already listed in exchange  even though it is having very less bounty portion . Atlast we will be paid for our effort its upto the person want to earn more has to take risk . I stopped participating bounty after most of my earned token became worthless . Now again i started with new strategy

Doing a phased distribution to bounty hunters will not have much effect on the price of the token, because I have seen a project that has a phased distribution to the bounty hunter, but the price of the token remains down in the market, this is what I see in the Atronocom project with the name AtromG8 (AG8), this token is listed on the Bibox market, at the beginning of the listing the price is quite expensive, but after that it goes down from day to day until now.

The reason is that the current market is very bad and no altcoins can grow these days. Most altcoins drop after being listed in exchanges, which is the general situation of the market

   General situation of the market is great, and for that we needed 10 years. New
projects that wish to enter the market had a hard time, and will have hard time to
get in. Some new projects drop down, other rise, don't blame anyone for that, its
a normal thing, just strongest survive and manor progress.
   Bounties wish a lot of marketing for them, they will try what is necessary for
people to folloe and support. New ideas are needed and don't expect to like
all of them.

Honestly, I don't join in any such campaign that running more than 2 rounds because most of the project I saw implementing
this concept always end up for nothing, I mean all their participants are not well compensated usually who joined with them.
This was just my experienced regarding about what you are telling it now.

Well have you checked how much token this Project has?and i'm afraid that this allocation is only there to Lure bounty hunters to work for them so they can fool investors but even How much token they promised?still there is no chance that Hunters will get what the amount they promised.

If they are really legit?then they will never do this stupid high allocation mate is it really hard to understand?

This company are for sure scammers and will never bring truthful to all of the affected parties.

 I guess these project managers thinks that if they give away a lot of money, people will work a lot more harder. However they are forgetting that how many of those tokens they are giving away doesn't really matter as long as people are willing to work for cheap and sell it right away and destroy the whole market of that token. So at the end of the day they are doing it because of a good reason but they are idiots so they can't see the consequences and it causes something bad.

 Hopefully this trend will soon be over, people will realize that there is no reason to actually give away that much money, in fact if you do a whole bounty campaign for 5 thousand dollars with giving away USDT or bitcoin instead of actually giving your project, you are going to eventually get your token A LOT MORE attention than any other method you could have done.

It is not actually the "quantity" of the token that matters it is how much of the marketcap that matters. If there is 100 million tokens created and you give out 10 millions of it for bounty that is not good at all, you are going to have a crash sooner or later when everyone has that much coin that they didn't paid for.

However if you give 10 million tokens but have 1 billion created, that is not going to hurt you at all. As you can see on both examples you gave out 10 million tokens and in one of them it hurt your token very much whereas on the other one it didn't hurt at all. That is why it is not about the quantity itself but more about how much of the total supply that bounty comes down to. Try to give out as little as possible, I always say 10% of the investors is good enough, if investors bought 10 million tokens, then give out 1 million in bounty, that is a good rate.

yes, it is also true that the project team has considered this before. but the problem is who is holding the most number of project tokens? I'm not sure if it's a bounty hunter, I think the initial investor or the project team itself is holding a large token and making a dump.

What is the supply of the token? I don't think any project would be giving large amount of supply to the bounty hunters. They know that if they giveaway higher percentage of the tokens to the bounty hunters, the price is going to dip.
Check the supply and then you will know if they are overpaying or not. If you think they are overpaying in tokens, then don't just join it.

First and foremost there are not much projects to advertise that are a sure shot success, if you think there are too much participants promoting a project you have the choice to pull out of it, the main idea of advertisement for a project is to have more eyes on what they are doing and attract investors and they will not stop anyone from advertising their project.

The hunters were getting very small percentage from the bounty campaign and mostly each person got less than 0.001% that means it's very small amount compared with the total tokens that has already issued before. In this case investors are playing the main role.

If you consider the amount of token allocated to bounty hunters, they are just minimal.  1% to 5% of the total supply, where devs hold 20% to 30%. which is quite a low budget for bounty right now and it certainly will not be able to cause a collapse when the token is distributed.  If the economy of the token is established this 1% to 5% won't hurt the market that much. It can go down for some time and will recover eventually.

we should compared token allocation between bounty and dev allocation. team tokens used to future developtment if their projects getting stuck or something happen. they could use this token to get fresh money and recruit more team to developt product. meanwhile allocation for bounty hunter just for reward and could directly sell in market. its amount not too big but have effect on market psychology when holder dump their token.

Basically that was of course will affect the token price but as you know it's only around 1%-5% From total supply so i don't think it will affecting the price for a long time, If that token has value for the crypto community and ecosystem it will rising slowly over time due to the many demands, Of course there was some example for some tokens after the bounty distribution process a dump has occurred and cannot recover for a long time but I don't think it's entirely the fault of the bounty hunters or the bounty allocation is too large, it is the duty of the team and also the community to promote use cases so that demand will continue increase.

Guess you are talking about YOUengine, right? Sometimes project owner runs high reward bounty to attract more participants which indirectly impact the price of the token especially if the token in question has a low supply.

Besides, I also see another campaign that is Koinpro. The budget for bounty is very large, it accounts for 10% of the project's total supply, and if they distribute the token then I believe this project will collapse quickly.

I think so but we will see that if there will be a dump for KOI or not. The dev has already stated if they will be doing buyback for all of the bounty tokens through use the profit that has been getting by the platform.
It can be an example as a project with huge allocation for the bounty.

Four rounds of bounty campaigns doesn't judge a thing about how valuable the token will be later on, all the four rounds of campaign will have a certain allocation, that's where you should look for answers, I bet the entire allocation doesn't exceed 1% of the project Max supply

And now take a look what is the total supply, if you think about it then almost all ICO tokens are highly inflationary. For example they allocate 100 million tokens to the token sale for example with a price 0.1USD for a token, but the token supply is 10 billion dollars, now calculate the future market cap to remain the value 0.1USD per token.

I do not think it matters if that project is really good. The only low-quality project will think like that. The more token you will contribute to the community the more it will get its value. Also, I do not think there are many projects that gave so much token. Sometimes its only 2.5% of total supply and you think that is too much bounty hunters get! I think bounty hunters get too little nowadays.

A massive amount of allocations for bounty isn't an issue. If people see that bounty is good enough, there will plenty of participants to keep the stake of each participant fair and square. If not, people don't have much hope for project and bounty then there will have a low number of participants. Although each of them could get a bigger reward, the real value will be different (inflation, no attention, no interest,...)

I'm good with bounties that gives away high allocation to hunters, and if such project hit exchange with good value won't you feel sad for missing out? As a bounty hunter I only care about getting paid and exchanging my tokens for good amount of ethereum or bitcoin.

It's the same like cartesi that has already listed on binance. The amount for bounty allocation was quite good and the price of token is still very stable caused by it has been getting enough liquidity to eat the tokens that owned by the hunters too.
Exchange matters a lot and when it has low liquidity you cant even exchange your token to the native coin.

Luckily for Cartesi bounty participants because the manager used a way to limit the participants. And if they don't limit their participation, I believe that each person will only receive a few cents just like other campaigns right now.

That is what I was thinking too. Those projects that allocate high amount of tokens have billions of total supplies and I bet the price is not as that high as well like any other normal project with only 10-50 millions limited of token supplies. I don't think it is not worth to participates because of massive supplies with no certainty of making it successful.

Since the supply amount of the projects, which usually organize such campaigns, is quite high, they also over-distribute in their campaigns on the basis of their own tokens.  On the other hand, some projects also prefer to distribute a very serious percentage of the total supply for bounty campaigns.  Such projects usually come out either scam or do not reach much value in price.  I especially recommend that you do not participate in such campaigns.

Allocation of high quantity of tokens to bounty hunter might have been deliberately taken by the team they might have a reason for taking such action bearing in the mind that the percentage allocated to bounty hunters is usually less than 10% a good project will survive the dump even when all hunters dump their tokens.
There are some project who allocated bogus tokens but still survive the bearish market of cryptos having assembly a cracked team that are working round the clock for the success of that project.

As far as I remember, there are many such bounty programs where there are more rounds in the reward program. There are also a lot of ADs, where they also give out a lot of tokens or coins.
It all depends on the project as it will continue and comes constantly with new improvements. If the project is implemented and successful or will not be in a large market system of cryptocurrencies.

A lot of them doing the same. Could we think that this can help to uplift their market reputation? Not really, and they give this huge number of tokens as an only exchange for their promotion but never it thinks that it has a huge market value coz it probably you can't appreciate that much.

For newcomers will certainly come into participating like these bounty campaigns because of simply thinking that they could get a lot. But for those who already have the ideas and some bad experience, they simply get ignored. People should think wisely and so there is no time to be wasted.

I think they always plan how much they will allocate for the bounty campaigns. The amount of token being allocated is already calculated base on the total amount of tokens they will issue. It all matters how much is the total and what is the value of each tokens.  Some project issue some guidelines before they claim their tokens, some of it like they will give only 50% for the first round and the duration of the campaigns is really matters if they will not add their rewards for the participants.

Thye should know what's going to happen if they allocate more than 5% of the supply, you cannot stop bounty hunters from selling if they want to, they are a marketing arm of the project once you paid them, it's up to them to sell or not, because they've worked for it, developers are giving high quantities of their token to attract more bounty hunters to promote their project.

If that project is having a large amount of token supply than they can award huge quantities of tokens in bounty rewards as it won't affect the price of the token that much when it gets listed on an exchange. But for a token with small cap it is nightmare to distribute a large supply in bounties as it makes the market of that token bleed.
Can you please share the link of that project which you are talking about, I will check and give you my comments based on that.

With an allocation of 5% of the total supply, this can be said to be too big for hunters because if the team cannot maintain prices in the market then there will be no value after the hunters are paid, therefore marketing from the developer must be done as well as possible so that the hunters do not sell their coins simultaneously.

You shouldn't worry about projects giving millions of tokens to bounty hunters, what matters is how much of the tokens you are able to acquire through the campaigns, the more you get, the more $ you're gonna make, volume and lack of interest are the enemies of new projects, sometimes you get those tokens and you won't be able to sell, make sure the bounty you want to promote will attract investors, that's all

That's not good, the team should be prepared for a massive dump, once trading starts many bounty hunters will dump those tokens on Exchange unless there are many buyers presently, it's all about the quality of the projects though but giving bounty hunters too many is not a good plan

You can't judge with the amount of token allocated for bounty, most of all this audio $500k bounty may later turn to $20k worth when the token finally got listed on exchange. Though some project will definitely fufill their promise and buy back from hunters to protect the price of their coin after distribution.

The thing about campaigns that pay in Bitcoin is that you need to be very careful in picking the right campaign to join. There are many bitcoin payers out there that does not have the right policies when paying the bounty participants. Most especially those who pay thousands - take note not hundreds of thousands, just tens of thousands of satoshi for a months worth of work. That really gives a disservice to the bounty participant. I mean for example with signature campaigns, you have to be well versed to the subject and you need to formulate your responses which really takes a lot of time. After a weeks work you will receive a dollars worth of bitcoin. Really unfair if you would ask me.

giving lots of tokens to prize hunters can cause a big dump after tokens are listed on the exchange. Prize hunters usually sell after getting tokens. isn't it like that?

This has never ended well for the projects involved. Once a Bounty allocation exceeds 2 to 5% of the total supply of the project tokens, it becomes a problem often times. More so when the tokens are completely distributed to the participants with no locking process initiated or the project lacking the capacity and volume required to handle such allocation in an exchange. Truth is, most bounty hunters will want to sell seeing how they put in great effort during promotions. It is only natural that they should cash out from time to time. Projects lacking in planning willl most certainly fail in the long run.

Given huge quantities of tokens during an ICO or IEO promotion doesn't guarantee the tokens success as we have seen projects with such numbers of tokens but ended up with fraud. I think, we should look beyond the quantities and look at the value of the token during the bounties. There's a a bounty project in bounty section that not giving out huge quantities of tokens but the token is listed and there's a possibility of a pump with the token in the future.

It's not. mostly the hunters were still holding their tokens. So many times their tokens worth nothing and that makes them received nothing as their payment.
The dump is not always caused by hunters and so many factors were also creating the dump too

What do you mean by too much tokens? Don't ever think a project will want to give too much tokens to bounty hunter, they all want to maximize profit,and as such will give what is proportionate to the effort put, sometimes these tokens are even given after investors receive or locked for sometime, in my opinion, I don't think hunters have huge effect on any project considering the amount of the bounty pool.

Most of the projects dont have any value during bounties and to promise a lot is the only way to push people participate in it

If those projects you are talking is legit nothing to worry about the value of token they want huge exposure and giving much token means more participants to join and promote your project all over social platforms and crypto related websites the fall of a price is related to project status and usability if its really interesting and has real usecase then even if you spend millions for bounty it will not a problem for the price to fall.

If a project that allocates a lot of tokens to bounty hunters, not only that token will drop in price like crazy, but also it would make you worked for nothing of value as well. Think about it, they claim that their coin will be 0.1 cent per coin and they make you work for 5 bucks and you do a retweet for it, not that one retweet should worth anything, you can remove that anytime you want which would be too late but at least you can take it back, and when it hits the exchange everyone including you will start selling it and suddenly the coin now worths 0.1 cents for 1000 of them instead of one of them.

So, why I think even for a bounty hunter it would be wiser if there was another payment method instead of token but even if it is token they should be hiring proper and good people instead of allowing everyone.

hmmm, though is most case you are right, but on the long run can help the project availability of token sometimes can increase the velocity which make it go viral on the long run increase demand since its well know i.e like token utility which means the more customers start using the tokenized product which can in turn increase real demand for the token, irrespective of market sentiment or investor manipulation. Consequently, utility token prices can often grow exponentially with customer adoption as with bitcoin during its infancy.

though not in all cases oooooo.

In my opinion, if that is the case it don't have a next phase I supposed. Also I think that project have a very trusting team and investors. And the team believe that giving big allocation for bounty hunters is their risk for a great success because lots of hunter will surely join their bounty to promote the project or the allocation for the bounty is not that big for them and they are very confident of the success in their project.

it depends on their maximum supply.. that is why their giving a huge reward in the campaign.. if they have a a small quantity then they will give only a %

Bounty is a marketing thing and projects do receive value in terms of viral advertising and potentially investors back as a result of bounty campaign, how can you forget airdrops where millions and millions of tokens are given away just to follow social media and fill a form? I think giving away tokens is a strategy by teams to develop a support community for the project that goes a long way for the support of project and also helps to support and promote the project longterm.

I think they are aware on what would happen if they distribute large portion of token for a bounty hunter anyway I think they have plan for it before doing large portion of token aside from that sometimes it was part of their marketing so that many user would join and promote their project so they are not going to pay some marketer.

Dont believe that. Even they offered million tokens for payment, as long its value has nothing its good as no use. There are projects offering a small allocation but their value is more attractive than those offer huge tokens quantity. Its not about the quantity but the quality of the project. Price can change if the project has potential and worth to invest with.

Dont pick a campaign with a very long duration period. Time spent on promotions should stick on shorter time than took so many months then resulting to a big joke project.

Not a good plan of course, once they send out the tokens the supply will rise and when trading starts bounty hunters will dump for pennies which will eventually crippled the value alot, something valuable should be treated valuable

Giving Out A Lot Tokens For Campaigns Will surely Affect The Market  Volatility Values. So Many Projects Failed To Understand This, But All Is Prior To Market Supply And Circulations. Gaimin Made Such Mistakes, Organised Campaigns On Bounty0x, BountyHive, And Bitcointalk Giving Out Million Dollars Worth Of The Tokens To Hunters. I think 🤔  Project Should Give Out Minimum Tokens To Hunters But Tangible And Worthful At End.

Just My Thought.
