Bitcoin Forum

For those of you who work on the BitcoinTalk forum, bounty is a must. Most of the bounties that come now are scams. Because of all these cheaters, the Bounty Hunters are infamous. So I say don't let anyone fall prey to the cheaters. meber. Sr member. Hero member. Legendary member. Etc. When you see a Legendary member leave a bounty or a Hero member leaves a bounty, you will understand that the bounty is good.But when newble. Jr member
 No good can be expected when you leave a bounty. If you have to work for 2-3 months on a purchased bounty, then if it is a scam, then your head gets hot. I am not saying that you do as I say. My application to the moderator Scmar. Who should be expelled from the forum. And I have a claim to everyone. Is there an argument in my words. What am I? I can't get a merit in exchange for these words? Everyone say in the comments. So hopefully no one will fall prey to the cheaters if you can catch the cheaters.

Bounty is not a must on bitcointalk even if you look for work here. I see a lot of services offered and they do not talk about bounty. Coding, signature designs, and portraits are just some of them.

Bounty is only a "MUST" for those members of society that live in hellholes that have no jobs or low paying jobs. If you decide to join a bounty, you should do you own due diligence and make sure the team is legitimate. Make sure the manager is legitimate. Make sure the project itsself is legitimate. Otherwise it's your own fault when you waste 2-3 months of your time.

It is not.

Indeed most of them are scams and most of them are going to fail, it's just a plain small percentage that gets continue and able to progress. I wouldn't say it's because of rank participants that's bounty was good, that's more of a cliché imo.

Who/what is Scmar? You literally don't make any sense on the sentences above. What are your claims? Oh, I didn't expect you're of a merit beggar. Who knows when/where they'll set their traps.

You do something for free and then you start raging that the person whom you did it for should be expelled? Sounds logical? ::)

Its about time some of the bounty hunters understood that running after bounties is a waste of time now. If you want to get paid get a job or gain some skills and apply for jobs in real life.

Again merit sources are partial towards those who have been spamming the bounty sections. However we have many users who started as bounty hunters but became well known/well awarded with merits in the longer run. Why not strive to be someone like them?

Anger will not get you anywhere. But it is normal to be angry but this is a reminder that no payment that is worth enough money is ever promised for a project specially because the altcoin market is another pump and dump to larger scale and coin offering are non-legal securities - it is not even worth calling them securities at all.

You will not be getting any sympathy from other users here, rather more bashing that you should suck it up and move on. Sorry to say but it is true.

First of all, this forum isn't any working place and the bounty isn't 'must' for anyone. Bounty campaign or signature campaign isn't related to the forum, this is a crypto-currency discussion community. Bounty has been introducing by projects themselves. However, I don't know what exactly OP wants to explain. Most likely seeking merits, but I am not gonna feed him. If you have enough time then you may waste your time into a bounty campaign. Because most of them are scam and you have to do your own diligence before doing a bounty job. If a Legendary join or leave a bounty, it doesn't prove anything. It's your own responsibility to choose a legit platform to join their bounty.

Bounty is on a par with the Big Issue sellers in the UK, and the beggars that sit outside the supermarkets. You don't walk around the streets wearing an advertising sandwich board, so why do it in the forums?

I read your posts, I see that you misunderstand the purpose and purpose of the forum.
I will say right away that with this approach you will be disappointed. You are not trying to read the forum, look for information, but immediately rush to create topics with questions.
The good news is that you quickly realize that bounty is a waste of time.
Read the forum and find what you might be interested. You are young, you have great prospects, start learning Crypto, thereby you will gain more benefits.

The purpose of this forum is not to make money by joining bounties, it's to inform yourself about cryptos and to talk with people that are also interested in this topic.
That you can make a small amount of money extra via bounties is a bonus.
So just see this forum as a place to inform yourself about cryptos and not as a job.

agree, this could not be a job, it is a place where you inform yourselves regarding crypto news, and where you can share information regarding development in crypto industry and more important see what scams are broken, so that you do not fall for any of them, or discuss possible scams

if you are here to make a buck with altcoin bounties, it is a wrong place to be

You just contradict yourself, it is not a must because according to you most bounties are now scam.

I would suggest that you need to stop bitching around. You join the bounty, you know that there are risk involved. But still you think that you can make money out of this community by joining this scam bounties and then at then you get nothing. So if I'm in your case, would start to study how this community works besides bounty.

Solayman3 you will not achieve and earn much if you think that this forum is all about earning cryptocurrency. Forum is not a milking cow.
Do you know why you failed with bounties? Because all you think is earning, quick, and with little effort. As I understand, you complain or ask for merit - with your posting history, merit is far away from.

I see that you have registered recently, and already joined bounty campaigns with easy rules, as well as asking someone to teach you how to earn. Study cryptocurrency world, make better research when you join bounty.

It might be a coincidence, but could you please comment on the following:

The ETH address you use for bounties 0xB449aAAC5413C89411bf617610605E217E80c387 received deposits from 0x4A2B2E1625cfC67C0198C092Bb2c32A3b8F270AD (belongs to riyanselim5 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2768874)) and 0x87150C1E04882F84616Ab612d0B9732111D7C253 (belongs to masumkhan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2760834))

All these 3 accounts members are Male, 19 years old and from Bangladesh? All have same amount of Huntex (HTX) tokens in their wallets.

And you all make a triangle with transactions

riyanselim5 to Solayman3 txid (https://etherscan.io/tx/0x0fd528bb12d0e8ff3c0847a074aa17be3d1bcc390f315e31e95acd085bf8a96e) > riyanselim5 to masumkhan txid (https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe68f58ce08b053b7cb8c884af1f3155dbc3e6f7c67db3f78a2beb091715e7788) > riyanselim5 to Solayman3 txid (https://etherscan.io/tx/0xd7fae8d50dba747b7f7872c88548fa861872136c9f7a4c5a7e2c8f6433b0d9a7).

Should I continue? Or you are just "3 school or university friends that participate in same campaigns and lend ethereum to each other"?

P.S. Thanks for an advice, I've "paid attention to your bounty work"

No one forces you to join bounty when using this forum, there are many ways to monetize forums that you may not know. You can provide web design services, signatures ... Or maybe OTC business in this forum. And there are a lot of scammer on new projects, so be really careful if you want to participate in their bounty. Always do research on those projects if you want to get involved

I believe OP intention to join this forum only to get money, not for discuss about Bitcoin/crypto. You have created/asked similar topic about how to join bounty for 4 times, after create it and you just disappear from the thread you created (also with this one). You need to understand forum rules first [1] because spamming and creating similar topic is disallowed.

[1] https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0

Really bounty is must? Then you have no idea about bitcointalk. Better make a research about bitcointalk properly. There are lots of members they only come to bitcointalk to gather crypto knowledge. Why bounty start in bitcointalk forum? There are lots of forum but bitcointalk have huge members& they are investors. If you only show the rank and Start doing bounty then its your fault. Why don’t you check is this project legit or not.. As Yahoo said..
               

You have a point that most scam projects comes from junior member accounts, losing such account won't do damages to the owner than a legendary member account but not all projects from top ranking are trustworthy too, you need to do your own research

I want to correct some words that you stated above.

1. A hero member leaving a bounty campaign does not make the bounty fake, neither does it mean the bounty is not worth it. Also, vice versa, a hero member or top accounts joining a bounty campaign does not mean that the campaign will be definitely worth it or rewarding. As a bounty hunter you need to work towards striking a balance between your researching skills and your decision making.

Never take a decision to join a bounty just because a top account joins the same bounty.

2. It is not a must to join a bounty program on the forum, bounty hunting is a voluntary activity to earn on the forum. You can just contribute your knowledge and also gain more knowledge on the forum by commenting.

3. You can  choose to apply for only moderator jobs, there are nothing absolutely wrong with that, but remember that everything you do on the forum is by your choice; nobody forces anyone to be a moderator or bounty hunting.

I will remind you to always do your own research, and be independent with your actions.

Bounty and other campaigns are incentive, they are not a must. And who's the moderator you are saying? we don't know him nor saw him in the forum.

It's not about someone leaving the bounty whether he is high or lower rank. What you have to do is check the bounty manager and look at his reputation and also do your research about the project.

I don't really care if a high member leaves the bounty campaign that I've participated because the bounty campaign the I participate is legitimate for what I've seen.

It's not the rank that is the parameter if the project is good or bad, and the high rank members has his own reason why he left the campaign, not because it's a scam, one of these are he cannot keep up, he is accepted in a signature that pays with trade able coin and don't want to wait for months.

I was amazed when I visited the altcoin service section of the forum and saw countless goods and services that could be traded on the platform. Bounty hunting is one of the least paying activities that could be done in the forum, considering the fact that several persons join bounties and the reward is defined from the onset. It's good for one to diversify, so as to earn more from the community.

What do you think of this forum?? A place like Fiverr or upwork where people are searching for work here?? Stupidity.

tl:dr

I didn't read your whole post because it is like a huge chunk of words coming into my eyes. At least next time make some double spaces so it is very neat and people will give some time to read your precious post :)
No Merit for you with this wall post.
The forum isn't a place where you can work thru bounties. Don't expect too much from it you will just feel regret. You said already that many bounties are scams then why are you giving your time and effort into these scam bounties?? It doesn't make sense TBH. Or maybe you don't have any real job right now and just hoping that the bounty campaign you joined will be a successful one.

As matter of fact join bounty is a choice, is a voluntary task not obligatory for any forum users, so venturing in a bounty claimed to be scam at latter end is ones fault also, because integrity of a manger matters a lot, even though you are inexperience about bounty always stay in the telegram group because someone that knows better will quarry the manger someway some how, with one act, yours is to pick signal and make necessary finds in other not to waste precious time. so that is it o. stand to be corrected.

Bounties are a good source of income those want to earn extra money and not to get good money from their salaries; I suggest you should check the all the project deeply and also check the bounties success ratio of bounty manger, in case of bounty launch my project then you should check their project deeply then you should join.

I left bounties many times not because they were a scam, but simply because I did not have time to continue my work in bounty campaigns and I was removed for inactivity.

The forum is not merely created for bounties. Bounty is optional, the forum is for participants to share their thoughts, services and to gather information. A platform where new projects to gather potential investors and to start-up their projects. A place where people can sell goods or digital goods or offer their skills and services.

Joining a bounty is an option and it is your own responsibility to do your own research with diligence before joining to avoid being scammed.

It is possible that we've all(or almost) been a victim to these bounties, scam, broken promises, or anything we called about bounty. But from that, we also learn, may the others have stick to bounty because that is their choice and they might also think that they'll have luck in the next round...who knows. Maybe there is another 2017 Bullrun that most bounty hunters benefited from it. But actually, they are wrong with that and I'd never think that the coming years will be a good year for bounties, instead, I saw a worse case possible.

Why you are basing your participation on high rank members? Its not like mostlyof them are good on picking sides of the campaign. Yes they have advantage over low rank since they are experienced and stay longer but the ability to search for a good campaign is entirely depend on yourself. Trust, confidence and good diligence is a must for you to be able to scout a good one. They are also riding on some hype of the projects. If you found yourself alone on a campaign you think is legit wouldnt you be happy that you ripped all the budget?

Its just a matter of choice. You hold the chance to do that and decide for that.

Bounty is not must for all members in this forum. It is either partime or optional for maximum members but those who don't have job, or student, or want to do partime job is suitable for them. I do bounty as a optional job. Trade and Job is my profession where bounty is optional for me. Before joining bounty, we have to investigate initally.

I actually don't think the forum membership level of a bounty manager has a lot to do with the validity of a project. I noticed that bounty detective is managed by a junior member and I must confess that they're doing a great job in the bounty management service. Some projects make use of high membership status accounts and still cart away with people's funds.

many people are disappointed when a lot of con artists hang around on bitcointalk. but you are wrong in saying that you should look for free bitcointalk, I have a lot of things about bitcointalk, can you find out what is bitcoin, blockchain and more,
and rank does not guarantee a con or not in bounty hunters, even if a hero could become a con if given the opportunity to do so.
but I haven't found it yet..

The allocation can also become the main reason why there were some high-rank members have been leaving the campaign. This is wrong if those were leaving the campaign caused by that was a scam because it's not only the reason. There were so many reasons for that.

I think sometimes you need to be aware of that, because if the project has a very low budget but there are too many people involved. You won't get too much money for your work, always check things out when you want to get started

doing a bounty is not an easy job, you have to see and notice that the project is correct.
because the duration can be very long between 1 to 3 months.
so at least before joining you do your research first.
I understand what you mean, it is difficult for now, but you will still get paid if you join the right project.

Well, maybe one that is meant for us to not support the scammer project so it is likely that we also hit it because it supports the project blowing by accident, be sure to do DWYOR before joining the project campaign.

I still dont feel convinced after all I have read that bounty is a must

Funny enough, I too couldn't even read all you wrote. So how exactly are you different from him?

These days there aren't much bounties which are genuine which is why the scamming rate has increased a lot especially the one with bounties.
Only if you are damn sure that it's a genuine bounty project with good potential then you must consider joining the bounty program else it's just a waste of time to be honest. I know there are many people here who manage their expenses from the earnings of bounty programs.
And falling prey to a scam bounty program would be more worse. But it's time to realize that the bounty days are gone or will soon be gone.

I would say that having some trusted manager to run the bounty and have the escrow there would work out wonders for all the good ones, that is why the bounty managers are the ones that matters. Let's say there is 10k dollars attributed to the bounty, and that will take out 10 weeks, as in 1000 dollars per week, don't know how much token that is but I am going to go with USD so that everyone can understand.

Firstly team has to pay the bounty manager that everyone loves and trusts a 1000 dollars so that he could distribute by the end of the week, before the weekends give the second 1000 dollars, and continue like that 10 weeks. That is why I think trust could be established between the team and the bounty hunters by putting escrow in the middle of the situation.

This is what most of the newbie thinks about the forum they only see it as a way to earn through bounty.
They forget what is the real important role of this forum to share the knowledge to enlighten the new ones about crypto.

bounty job is an assistant job again many people are engaged in this work to reduce unemployment. Some point the team should make sure it is legitimate, make sure the manager is valid then make sure the project itself is valid. Otherwise your time will be wasted and you will not be able to earn anything. So everything depends on your own research with good luck.

The main reason why this forum exists if to learn about crypto and blockchain technology, bounties are just a bonus, an attractive way to spread words about a new project through social media and get reward for it, the reason why many bounty hunters lack knowledge on how to do good research is because they have no intention of learning anything about crypto, all they have in mind is to make money

It is not the simple and it is not always the fault of the bounty manager sometimes the scammers are hiding behind a project so accurately that no one can guess that it would end up as scam. I have seen many good looking projects failing or scamming with real teams and projects. So it is all based on luck sometimes you will hit a golden project that will reward you big and you will forget all pain, just keep on working.

"MUST" as he describe it, that's how desperate they are to get money in here.

The only thing that I can agree on what he have is that bounties these days are scam, unsuccessful and fraud. Back then I used to participate in ICOs where the success rate is above the half of their numbers, it really feels great when the project succeed and gives you what you have worked for, I still miss those days but now ehh it sucks waiting for months to year just to wait for the listing only to find out the early huge dump in the market that will result to be delisted. Believe @Yahoo what he says, he's been a manager for a long time, and I know he knows what a legit project should look like.

People are not working on bitcointalk other than moderators because they are the one officially get salary for their work.

All other things are happening on our own and bitcointalk gives freedom to it but its not the work of moderator to find scam, if they want money then they need to choose the right bounty or if they found bounty is no more profitable then better find other earning methods than keep doing bounties and feeding the scammers to cheat more people.

It's not clear exactly what you mean. You say that those who have been on the forum for a long time, the rewards from them are more guaranteed than from those who have only recently registered? This is not a fact at all. Very many times we came across scams in the bounty that were published by old-timers of the forum. Only a thorough analysis of the project will help you here.

Joining bounty is not must! But if you wants to join i will suggest you to join only in renowned bounty managers (like yahoo, wapinter, Bounty Detective, Julerz etc)'s campaign. There is a less chance to fall in a victim to any scam. They always very the project carefully before starting the bounty.

Always a sad experience for the bounty hunters. Time, energy and monetary losses all will be lost. What I cannot explain is the fact that bounty managers ought to be very experience in making sure only serious bounties are promoted, but that is not the case.

Over time, experience will show which project and protocol is a fraud. There are several indications for this to happen and as mentioned above you are not required to participate in a campaign the forum is free and you can choose to do what you want just respecting the Bitcointalk policy and guidelines.

It is worth reflecting.

Yes. It's your own will to participate in a bounty campaign and it has never been a must even before especially today that scam projects have been rampant. Once you are a bounty hunter, you should always see to it that the project is legit, the team members are really existing and its bounty manager should also be a reputable one so you won't be wasting your time having sleepless nights without even getting your reward at the end of the campaign.

Have just read your mind op, this isn't the perfect way of getting merit, it's all about contributions to the community and however it's a not must to join bounties on the forum, 80% of legendaries and heroes today joined a bounty campaigns and left based in personal reasons, if you feel bounty is good for you, then stick to it and get your pay without forcing someone to join with you.
I have been a fans of bounty but i left because of low pay for 2-3 months hard work, left because it's my personal reason.

If you choose to join bounty campaign you need to investigate thoroughly to make sure that you join in a legitimate campaign and so that your time is not wasted. I think don't make bounty campaign as your main job specially if you are just a newbie like me, because most of them take a long time to pay.

Bitcointalk was created as a venue for people to understand blockchain and cryptocurrencies. A place where they can exchange and discuss ideas with one another.  So bounty is NOT a must there. Bounty is just one of the opportunities that bitcointalk members can avail of on the platform. But unfortunately, it has become now one of the main reasons why new members join. But as long they are diligent in following forum rules, I think they are welcome.

The beginning that bounty bounty is a must is out of it. Bounty is not a must and that a high rank forum members leaving a bounty campaign doesn't indicate that the left campaign is a scam. It might be for another lucrative reward.
And talking about exposing scam, there has been scam project since the beginning of time and many will still spring up in the future.

Even if we can find one or two bounty campaign that looks legit can scam in the future because there still no guarantee for us to see, the project can survive in the long term. We can not do anything about that because after we select one bounty campaign, we need to follow the track of the project, so we know where the project will be, and if there is something wrong with the project, we can get out as soon as possible before it's too late.

Bounty is not a must, many members of this forum stay away from bounties after bear market started in 2018 and I don't blame them, it's been a very unpleasant journey so far but this year seem so different, I believe there are good projects out there but it's your choice to join or not

Yes, that's right, because what you say is something that newbies should always do and it is also very often done by people who already have a lot more experience in choosing a bounty campaign in this forum.

Yep, I agree with you, just not only bounty hunter which is job at here. When the market grow more than, there will be more jobs which involve to cryptocurrency and blockchain will be recruited right here.

Yes, that is a very natural thing to happen, because basically everyone wants to make a profit when the market is in good shape,
even hunters who have retired are now working again.

Bounty hunters are going back despite that the bounties are dying right now. They are returning because we all know that a lot of countries had lockdown and in order to have some money to support their family needs, they are coming in bounty hunting. Unfortunately, this is also the time where the scammers are working. Many bounties today are not worth working, it just a waste of time spending in their campaign. Imagine, there is a bounty that paid 150$ in pool. In fact, the transaction fees are more expensive than the reward that participant receive.

For Bitcoin talk users that come from poor countries they hope and believe that bounty will be give them some income . But I agree that we as bounty hunters  have a responsibility to do due diligence before promoting the project .

Not all campaigns are bad there is some exception like Oikos I just finished participating in their campaign and the good news is they are already in the market and they are doing great, it's just unfortunate that I am late participating in their third round of the campaign, but I now have another good project that I'm participating so all campaigns are not really that bad, you just have to research.

Many unemployed young men and women work in this forum.And at the same time many people work part time.So it should be done knowingly.Bounty, however, is usually a low-cost plat from
 Where 2/3 months work is done with a small payment.We have to work with awareness within it.

Yes, I'm one of those bounty hunters who retired and now I'm back in the ranks. I left because of the downturn in this area of ​​earnings and a large number of scammers. Now I'm attentive and participate in a small number of projects, but of high quality.

A good choice, because most projects that promise big bounty payment are scam, especially if the project comes from ICO and also the current DeFi trend is good to follow considering that many DeFi tokens can go up to 10x more easily, it's not wrong you are following DeFi Signature Campaign.

Do research and do more research then you can catch a good bounty and participate in bounties that have already been conducted at IEO. However for ICO you can follow defi project and increase your knowledge from wasting time so you can easily find a good bounty.

Basically you are looking for merits for saying this statement? This has been told million times already in this forum and don't consider bounty is a job because it isn't a permanent one so grab it when it is available and move on when it is no more profitable.

you are wrong, what the hell do you have in your head?


again your vision is wrong, it is not the fault of the bounty hunters, it is the fault of the creators of these shitcoins that exist in this market. stop defending these scammers who create shitcoins


I’m always happy when I find these scammers who create shitcoins

Good for you.

Others have different ways of checking the bounty and they don't do what you do. Should you have a reliable criteria when you join a bounty so if you are good with it, keep what you do.

yes the best way is like that, must do good research and analysis. so that the project we are living on can really pay off. because now there are so many deceptive scam projects. So the best thing is whether there should be a forum police that is devoted to destroying scammers?

Getting into a bounty is your own free will and no one pushes you to get into it. It is your self responsibility to check the reliability and the legitimacy of the bounty you wish to get into. Indeed there are lots of scam bounties scattered in this forum but you as an individual must be the one responsible for verifying the legitimacy of the bounty which is the first thing that you must have done before engaging into it so that you won't waste your time on a scam project.

There is no sense on blaming other people for the unfortunate scenario you have got even though they do also have a faulty because they are making scam bounties and you have got victimized by those but still first things first, it is your own will and choice to join bounties for the sake of your own good. So it must be a lesson for you that on the next time you wish to get into a bounty, check and verify every single information that will satisfy you to claim it is a legitimate bounty so you won't get scammed the next time around.

Everyone is free to choose the job they think they can do best on, there are many scam projects but there are also many serious projects.When i join bounty i make small research firstto see how legitimate are the team!

No one wants to retire from cryptocurrency, just want to stay quiet until the back of cryptocurrency. We can see that chainlink coin price, new altcoins could take some top coins position. Hunters are here to share the best experience with the investors. Hunters help with new projects, when they get some rewards. But after huge months, these will be bad if they get nothing from these bounties.

it must be done because if we choose the wrong bounty then all the time we have done will be wasted and that is what many members experience here

MOst oviosly good bounties are now making headway and easily do bounty hunters get paid with their rewards.Mowst times, it is not about being paid, but more of seeing the project list on good exchange with real volume and not an exchange with wash trades. An exchange with a good volume will be able to maintainits price. It does not allow the token dump necessarily.

If you are jobless, Don't rely on bounties only as your income. If you ever got some rewards from bounties, use it to learn something new that can earn some profit (trading, investing, etc). You can learn it in this forum. You can't always rely on bounties, because nowadays most of the projects are abandoned and you'll get nothing from their bounties.

It is better to search for other jobs to make money monthly because he can use that payment to survive and fill his needs. If he depends on the bounty, I am afraid that it will not easy because right now, many projects are still doing the campaign, and some of the projects delay the payment. This situation needs more attention from all people to get jobs so that we can survive.

Actually  if you are jobless right now you can make different strategy to earn online. bounty is also one of them but do not rely on one job find other job that you think can give you more ways to earn money online. Try to be Vlogger or any social media task that you can do that they can paid you directly without waiting for too long for payment .

our steps as bounty workers are
1. we must pay attention before following the project and make sure the project is not a scam
2. we must be prepared to risk all existing jobs

Now that the fraudsters have the privilege of being able to commit fraud undetected, they are using very attractive websites, convincing promotions and it must be a real extra hard work to detect that it is a scam project.

That's right. As a bounty hunter, we always need to take precautions before joining in any bounty campaigns. We need to do a lot of researches before deciding to join bounty projects. Then, we dedicate our works to do our jobs as good as possible. After that, the only thing we can do is to wait for our rewards and prepare to move on if we get scammed. It sounds easy, though, it's really hard for new bounty hunters to follow!

You need to work on how you create words and type words too, it's very hard to understand what you are talking about, a high ranking members leaving a bounty project doesn't mean the project is bad or not, you need to do your own research and you can also join bounties from popular bounty managers

That's right. If you are jobless, why would you avoid to do something that offer you an opportunity to earn money like bounty campaigns? Even though doing bounty campaigns is very risky, we have the way to reduce the risk anyway. Therefore, why should we hesitate? You're right that we should not rely on any single job! I agree with that, doing multiple jobs in this cryptocurrency market is not easy but if you really want to do then it's not too hard!

Bounty is not a reliable way to earn but it can be an extra income. But it is not a must in this forum specially now that majority of bounties are scam. Because this forum is a source to gain knowledge about crypto and bounties are a way to promote the project and spread awareness to the community. The problem is many projects are worthless and a waste of time thats why we need to be careful when choosing where to join.

Yeah I think it is better to delete your post regarding on bounty and then visit often the begginers and help section for you to get acknowledge and then possobly get merits. There are threads there started for all the newbie the chance to earn merits. High rank users there are to support the newbie and boost the morale. Again delete first all post related to bounty and then get the chance to earn your first merit there.

I am also started a thread there to boost the morale.of the newbie and I am giving few merits there.

No one forces you to join bounty when using this forum. All the decision is up to you, and you can dodge scam projects by never getting into bounty. And if you choose to participate in bounty then you need to accept it, there are very few successful bounties at the moment.

that's true and it looks like OP is a newcomer in this forum too. He doesn't know the history of this forum too. More and more hunters are also aware of how to choose the right project too and there was a lot of awareness thread about the scam projects.

That's right, this forum is much more amazing than the OP thought. Here people will find everything related to cryptocurrency and if they will learn about it, I believe they will have a great deal of knowledge about this market. Bounty is only a small part of it and don't depend on it too much

Cheataer is always there in any form of bounty This problem has not been stopped until now it all depends on the manager who checks the bounty work
if the manager is careful then the cheaters can be destroyed

Crowdfunding bounty hunters are exploited we have seen so many bounty hunters getting exploited by not giving what are dues to them, imagine working for several months without getting paid there are a lot of projects that has come without giving bounty hunters what's due for them and although they received from some projects it doesn't have value at all/

don't know what you are thinking, even though your own account is cheating ::), currently there are many bounty managers who always deliver good projects but unfortunately they don't escrow the rewards so I think they're not wrong, it's just that the fault is with the team project who asked for a bounty campaign to be held because they only used hutner's bounty for free promotion.

There is an amendment to your comment, which is if you want to join the bounty and avoid scam then you need to check the project before joining (the whitepaper, the project team, the ANN thread, etc.) and after everything you can join the projects run by well-known and trusted Bounty managers because they carefully examine the project to preserve their reputation in this forum and the failure of the project is not their fault.

Most of the bounty managers are new, they know nothing about researching a good project, rather present a failing or scam project, sadly it goes for 3 months or more. Now we are back with the those ridiculous high price reward in hundreds of thousand that most crowfund may never raise. I like to see more crypto maximalists on this forum like we used to have, as well as more announcement threads for great projects.

Well we could say that majority of the people who works in this forum are working on bounty but that doesn't mean that it is what most of us do in this forum.
There are other jobs beside bounty on this forum you could sell your service just like what the manager's are doing and also other type of services as well you could also join some bug hunt on some sites that would ask for those kind of service.
There are so many other services as well and you could look it up in this section https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0 .

Bounty is not a necessity because anyone is free to join the bounty and there is no compulsion at all, if you have expertise then you can get money by opening service on this forum and I also remind you not to only depend on your income from the bounty because it will later make you disappointed because the current bounty is no longer profitable

Apparently, you just spit out your ordeals and that of some other persons experiencing same issue but i would advice we harness our wealth of ideas outside merely blogging for projects we have less than 10% confidence on. it is equally not out of place that some projects runs their programs without a well defined impact just to make away with investors funds via their ICO's. Yet it is not enough reason to cast aspersions on this technology.

What is worthwhile is for newbies like us to acquire relevant soft skills like; graphics design, programming, video production, animation, cloud computing, etc. that are on a high demand and contribute favorably towards the development or better still the advancement of the BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY to the admiration of the world and in returns make out profits therein out of our services.

Bounties is not a must, many old bounty hunters always ridicule bounty campaigns due to bad past experience, after 2017 many bounty projects are quack jobs, scam, pump and dump projects, this have made many quit from bounty hunter job, promoting new projects today is more risky than it was in the past.

From your post, it looks like English is not your primary language and that is perhaps you are compalining about not getting merit. I will still encourage you to improve and keep learning and you will see improvement in your own posts and you will also get merit points.
As far as scam bounty campaigns are concerned everyone should report it as soon as they see any red flags. This will prevent many investors and promoters from being scammed.

merit is not his primary concern but its the bounty . he only ask if he can get a merit from his post . bounty campaigns arent the concern of everyone else because others have a serious business too that are outside or not related to bounties . there are so many bounty hunters here on the forum and majority of them already report bounties that they think scam but the problem is that there are so many scam bounties that are being created being introduced not only on this website

Bounties are not the must at the moment we have been overlooking many scam projects and due to that hunters get frustrated. It gets really hard to earn through the bounties at the moment.
