Bitcoin Forum

We are still in crisis and people are looking for ways to make money online and bounty hunting is a big attraction to those looking for ways to make money online, because it's easy to do, all you have to do is share on your social media or write an article if you are a good writer and you can earn tokens that you can trade in the market when it hit the market.

Do you think we have more bounty workers now that people are on lockdown or do not have a job yet because of the pandemic?

No, we have less bounty right now.

Just looking another job with a guarantee payment, bounty is a freelance payment could be pay or not also the time waiting for the payment was pretty long around 1-3 month for the minimum and more than 3 months for a long time.

Can you survive while waiting for the distribution and also not every bounty was successful? also right now already not seen some good bounty in the past 6-12 month, so could be almost dead.

.
If you found many newbie account created just to join bounty then its really possible that we have more hunters today. Not all people like to the task we have here so if you are not aware of have idea how this bounty things work you will be very disappointed and if you don't have background of it I don't think you will do a task without understanding how does it work.

For pandemic! Look my expression

No jobs, no money, still home
What i can do online world now without experience?
Crypto is my one best way, where i can make some money :'( with bounty is totally luck at this time. There are some successful bounty but team don't want distribution bounty rewards, i hope you know.

Bounty hunters didn't increase because of the pandemic. It's not like before 2017 that almost all of the campaign is paying well. Only a few campaign pay and most of them pay lower than the token's expected price.
The amount of what they get in bounty is not enough for daily expenses, so I think there's no reason they will become one of the bounty hunters.

Pandemic gave the hunters more time to make more alt accounts.
You'd be surprised how few actual hunters are on this forum, in comparison to how many accounts actually sign up to a bounty.
I'd say, from my experience, no more than 20% are actual people, rest are alts.

Just check campaigns with and without KYC, and you should see the difference

This pandemic has had a tremendous impact on everyday life and the saddest thing is that you have to lose your job due to a reduction in employees in a factory. grateful for those of you who still have a permanent job and can still work even in their respective homes , following a bounty project is not the right way to find a quick or monthly income in my opinion trading is the most appropriate because it can produce short term but trading must have capital

Definitely yes! I shared an image at a other discussion thread yesterday about the top 5 forums thread with the most posts in the last 24hours. All five are bounty related, mostly DeFi bounties. I think this picture tells it all.

You find this and other stats about the forum on https://ninjastic.space/patrol

Yes, in my opinion, BitcoinTalk now has a lot of bounty hunters who have resorted to working in promoting projects because of its ease and that do not require much experience, and because of this epidemic that has spread to the world that made people stay in their homes without jobs, and when they saw the advantages of crypto, that made them love trading it and work to collect it.

Not really, I saw that during the coronavirus epidemic had a very bad impact on the project image compared to the adoption of new crypto users. we have a lot of junk projects, mock projects that use the concept of corona, fraudulent projects and many other negative things. but I personally still do this work even though there are many fraudulent projects around us.

Most likely there are more people looking for easy ways to make money.  I think the issue is twofold, you have people with more ti.e on their hands because a lot of people are working from home and then the people on temporary or even permanent unemployment due to job loss.  More time on their hands and more reason to increase their earning potential.

Yes, that can be one obvious reason but i think many hunters are back after like 2 years of downtrend in the market and now they are hoping for a bull market where the prices just go parabolic so that is why i think the number of participants have increased for good projects and campaigns.

I think it's lesser now. It's more when we're still in 2017. But for this time, even with the pandemic, we have lesser bounty hunters. It is understandable because there are lesser bounty projects, the legit ones.
And that made many bounty hunters from before to quit because they have seen that most projects are scams.

Well, we do not have such stats like the number of participants or bounty hunters this year or month that we can compare with previous years, so we cannot say that the number has really grown. Secondly i do not see many good projects or campaigns in bounty section, most of the campaigns have small budget so i do not know how the community will find it attractive.

Nowadays Bounty is no longer a job that can be relied on to make money. Because many bounties do not pay for the results of our work, and many bounties fail, the token price from bounties is also far from expectations.

No, there's not enough bounty campaign for bounty hunters. I don't think that bounty hunters increase even with this pandemic. People are looking for a guaranteed money where they can receive on the day that they need it. They continue to find a decent job than to participate in any bounty campaigns without any guarantee.

I think that's the true story about bounty. So many complaints came from the hunters to and these hunters were also leaving the bounty campaign too. I can't say if there are more or less participants in the bounty but so far a small increases in the total participants in the bounty campaign due to the pandemic.
So many participants are also lack of knowledge about DYOR too.

We only have a few bounty, so I don't think that we have more bounty hunters now. Bounty hunting is also not reliable source of income nowadays, and most of the time, it takes time before they send the reward for bounty hunters, that is something that they cannot wait by those affected of this pandemic.

It depends. Well, that's what really supposed to happen, just like what you've said, because of the pandemic. Maybe few people will be able to discover this forum and know the opportunities of earning here or maybe the tons of sleeping accounts will finally wake up as well. BUT the question is, will they find bounties still interesting? I can no longer answer that question because for sure I'll be biased lol ;D.

I never became a fan of bounty campaigns because ibalready learned after getting a sh*tcoin. You should as well.

that's true, i ever saw the social media campaign almost reach 2000 participants in some bounties back then. but i can't see something like that in today bounties even when there is a pandemic. i also think that it's because of so many scam projects too. most of hunters definitely think that they do a worthless jobs after they've been scammed so many times.

I don't think so, just like in the real world, earning income from the current bounty is not completely reliable. Just like getting lucky when you get rewarded after work, because so much is pending due to this pandemic and unsuccessful sales.

Of course, there are exceptions to the bounty legend with BTC rewards, it is still reliable and very legitimate. But if we talk about bounties in general, another story.
But, surely many people are trying their luck with a join bounty. Moreover, this doesn't require a lot of capital, but I am sure when they find out the fact that getting rewards is not as easy as they imagined, moreover there are many scams, surely many new hunters will slowly give up too. The battlefield for the bounty campaign is full of struggles and challenges at this time, only the patient, strong, and lucky will survive.

Even there isnt any pandemic the forum already have a huge amount of bounty hunters, as they want to earn real money on here, thats why a lot of new users going here to earn  just what like others do.

In this time of crisis lets expect that there were a lot of people searching for a source of income especially online. But i doubt that because of this pandemic, bounty hunters will flooded and may able to get into a bounty campaign because i can say that to those who haven't any idea about crypto this thing would be on their last list. Aside from it the mere fact that almost less chance to get a legit  bounty campaigns are also being an issue.

I think it is really possible that we have much more bounty hunter because of this pandemic than the previous years because several of them loss their jobs and as well as they looking for a more convenient work which turns them into cryptos and became a bounty hunter.

If we look at every new bounty there must be a lot of new members who register, and maybe this is the pandemic effect, all those who fall asleep will return to the forum, because they have more time, but seeing that in today. years of income from gifts are not worth the work and many more projects are fake or failed, and all return to yourself with your existing job or stay idle.

Bounty hunting in altcoin section is in a sorry state they have so many bounty hunters but only few legit bounty, we can consider 1 bounty out of 10 bounty that has a potential in the market, all the others are just scammers or fake projects, I have one year run of bad projects 2018 is a very bad year for bounty hunters I don't know this year, maybe worse or a little bit better.

Of course there are more people who wants to earn on crypto and bounty hunters are on the move but sad to say there are lots of bounty campaigns who did not pay once when the campaign ends, a lot of promises given to us and when the payment arrived it does not have good value at all, so bounty hunting for now is not good maybe if we want to join campaigns we need to choose wisely the campaigns which we think can give good value in the future.

I think most people will think about how to earn money by trading crypto, airdrop, blog, and video creators. because not many people know about bounties, and in the media, it is often explained that getting money is much easier and real by trading and becoming a content creator.

A pandemic can be the reason too, but for sure those people who experienced what happened in bounties after the bull run in 2018, a lot of altcoins also dumped and most of the bounty tokens rewards are wasted or it cost nothing anymore.
Most people are staying at home so, they can be more on surfing over the internet like some are working from home with the help of the internet. And also it is like some online games, a lot of online games got a massive increase in players when the lockdowns started the last few months.

I'm not really looking but from I notice and feel, there are less bounty hunters now. It may be a time of crisis due to the pandemic but with the fact that not all bounties are legit, they could just be wasting their time there. During this trying time, what people need is a legit and trusted source of income. They might not really find it in bounties.

With pandemic or without pandemic, bounty hunters are grow now.
I see many newbie rank join any bounty now and i see 1 or 2 newbie account using my telegram username to join campaign  >:(
This is give me angry.

I dont think the pandemic affect the number of bounty hunters.

Even there are many people that is new in crypto world, they cant easily join in bounties because of the required rank and requirements if ever they chose the social media campaign. Not to mention the scam projects which is the main hindrance why its not easy to earn in bounties.

Some of my friends are quitting, I also quit way back but since I have a lot of spare time I come back and try my luck I hope the project I'm joining now is legit, if we can get more good projects in the crowdfunding many bounty hunters will come back to promote again but now I don't think we have many bounty hunter now, in fact many are in vacation.

There will be no bounty hunter if there is no bounty.

The DeFi hype causes the creations of many scam projects that run bounties. More bounties, more bounty hunters. Hunters who were in hibernation for months or years woke up to join recent bounties. They will sleep again when the DeFi hype is dead.

for the sum, I think there is no significant increase. In fact, many senior bounty hunters are on vacation working in bounties because the bounty that yesterday had not been paid or tokens was still locked. this makes them mostly lazy to hunt for new bounties. In fact, this bounty campaign can be a smart solution during this pandemic lockdown because working from home if the bounty runs smoothly and generates good money.

and also it is a big deal to all bounty hunters to apply with an online transaction as a job , even a little amount of income it is resourceful while waiting for coronavirus out to our planet .and beside it is a big hope to anyone to survive, In fact, I'm thinking about progress, it is also a perfect way as protection to secure people, aside from that right now bounty campaign is in demand project, that's why I also trust this opportunity.

in my opinion the number of hunters is not increasing in this pandemic time and is much less now than in the past few years. There are also lots of bounty who refuse to distribute tokens and there are some projects that distribute very little tokens for bounty hunters which is actually going to be accepted as internet fees. I got pain of working on social media because bounty is setting a few tokens with lot of participate for social media.

If I am gonna compare it to 2017 most of the bounty hunters now are not the same before. Because when 2018 came up a lot of bounty hunters
got disappointed due to so many scam projects arise even until now there still more project continued deceiving the community to believe to invest in it. But even pandemic came up many believed in bounty hunting of course including myself.

Looking at the current economic situation wherein it is not easy to find a new job and those who have jobs are struggling to keep it, I think a lot of people have shifted to online earning opportunities.

Since, bounty hunting is another way of making money online I think there has been an increase in number of people joining this forum as bounty hunter.

At present Bounty hunting is not as profitable as it used to be a few years back but the chance of earning something to nothing is still a good option.

i dont think about it before and in my opinion its true, more people now jobless meanwhile they must earn money to fullfilled their daily needs. people will trying find an online opportunity when they have more time in home , maybe they find about bounty campaign in bitcointalk forum

profitable campaign still occur in this forum , i see several campaign now launched and for beginner its could be good start for them . new bounty hunter maybe know from their friend so bounty hunter increasing very significant.

That is if you find one good project to promote that pay good I have one friend who have 10 bad projects and he get one bounty that pay him good if bounty hunter can have at least 3 bounty project that pay good in three years he will be ok as long as bounty hunter is leaving in a place that the cost of living is not high.

I don't think that people who have lost their jobs will be much interested in bounty projects. They have expenses such as utility bills, rent, medicines.etc to take care of. So they will be looking for some job which pays fixed amount on time, even if the payment rate is low. I don't think that many will opt for bounty projects, where the rate of getting a payment is as low as 5%.

Bounties isn't on of the fastest way to make money, it takes time  before getting paid and sometimes you won't get anything after the long wait, if you are planning to pay for rent or bill you will end up in frustration, it's better to look for other ways

Yes. So make it as a sideline only and find other ways on how you can make a guaranteed income. I think bounty hunters are still limited today because of the rampant scam bounty campaigns that won't pay our efforts in the end. And most of thr newbies are not qualified in participating bounty campaigns since they still need to rank up first before they can be a part of the campaign.

Fewer bounty hunters in the forum. if you see the 2018 and 2019 bounty hunters and compare them you will find that bounty hunter is less than that time. Doesn't matter about bounty hunters, an actual project which is legit don't pay much to the hunters or at the end of the project they scammed the rewards that's why bounty hunters suffering and not interested to join the project.

There are many projects that still haven't pay bounty hunters till date, joining bounties and getting paid is luck today, too many developers cares about themselves and their projects only, it's better to learn crypto trading or other ways do making money online like CPA and promote offers, bounty hunting is full of displeasure and sadness

That's true but it looks like the new people who have already joined in the bounty campaign are not so much like we have already expected. You can't use the bounty as your main job. People were looking for additional income and that's why the bounty can be another game to generate more additional income. BTW bounty is also like a gambling consider you can't receive the actual payment as the payment totally depends on the how much the price for the coins.

I think people use this as their side job only.

There are still projects that pay well for bounty hunters, maybe out of 10 projects you are lucky if one of them pays based on my own experienced. It's hard to rely on bounty earnings, good if we just doing it while having other job that we can count on to pay our monthly bills. Many have tried at first but when they found out that what's happening to the hunters after the project they backed out immediately.

Yeah maybe. Unfortunately there are so many people that lost their jobs because of the pandemic. And it is so hard to find a new job for them. So bounties are a chance for them to earn some profits here.

 The pandemic has one way or the other made a negative impact in the life of most people, so many people have lost their jobs due to the situation of things, organisations had to reduce their staffs because it is becoming difficult to pay their salaries.. so even people with little or no knowledge of bounty hunting are now finding a way to learn and become a bounty hunter... survival is a must,so we have having more bounty hunters due to the pandemic..

The pandemic has been hell for everyone and people have been looking for other sources of income to make more money and bounty is a freelance work you can do when you are less busy but since late last year where there has been a high influx in scam bounties most people have given up on bounty has a source of income and i think the people leaving bounties are higher than the new people coming in

Maybe people join in this forum and try to be bounty hunters and participate in many projects.
It could help them make money at the end of the programs, but that is only if they can get the right projects to participate.
There are so many projects here and needs help to promote their projects, but many of them will not give a better result in the end.
So I think the bounty hunters need to be careful to select the project and make sure they already research to find the project and don't participate because of other people's suggestions.
Many people are trying to use their time to search for the new opportunity to make money because many of them lost their job.
So if they can get an income from being the bounty hunters from here, that will help them survive, and they will have money to buy their daily needs.

I think a lot of people are TRYING to shift online but there are still not yet a lot of opportunities unless you are in a developed country,,, plus another thing to think about is that not even many who do get the chance will be able to adapt to their new realities. Working remotely is about having discipline which a lot of people simply cannot instil. Bounty hunting even encourages this lazy attitude.

I think the same bounty campaign hunter now depend last three years when many bounty campaign success after listing on exchange market, exactly right now many bounty campaign hunter have left their job because many scam bounty campaign and always have lower price after listing on exchange, look with bounty manage by bounty detective like Homtoken have drop price and not have value anymore after sending to participants of bounty campaign, just waiting when bounty campaign is success like three years ago with good price and higher reward, then bounty manager always trusted for distributing coin soon.

no, but if someone need japanese translator, community/SNS manager, marketing advisor, i can help you
send me pm on telegram(@tourou

This is possible because a lot of people are looking for ways to earn money online. They may have stumbled upon different rooms and guides that could point out to bounties or even the Signature campaigns here.

I think measuring the number of bounty hunters would be a difficult job because there are already many people who are doing it. Possibly some other people are also taking advantage of multiple accounts here. I’m curious about what metric or parameter to determine if there is a significant increase with the participants.

I think what the new bounty hunters would be facing is the legitimacy of new projects if it’s even worth it to work on or something related to that.

This is sad actually, people losing their job and so many people can't afford their daily needs. Obviously because it's always work from home so we have new bounty hunters coming in and some old hunters also active again due this pandemic. Hope we can soon can get out of this situations and everything will be normal again

I guess so because of the pandemic situation we are in now most people just stayed at home and they have more time to spend online. So instead of just browsing things online, they spend their time doing bounty which they are hoping to get some reward somehow. And one more thing there are lots of people who lose jobs and bounty give them a little hope to earn while waiting for them to go back to their real jobs. I just hope they find a good and legit project that will compensate them.

No we don't have more bounty hunters instead we have more crypto traders and investors, bounty hunting is not bringing very good rewards now compare to 2017 days, only 5% out of 100% bounty projects are doing very well or even paid bounty hunters like they promised, most just pretend as if bounty hunters never worked for them

In my opinion, in the midst of the current pandemic making money online and the hunt for prizes is a big attraction for people who want to earn income let alone become a bounty hunter besides getting a satisfying income also how it works is not difficult. However, the question is how for beginners to get a good project so they can get income because as we know many bounty projects are unclear and beginners don't know which one is good and a scam.

Even we say it's only 5% that might pay the hunters there are still lots of people who will try and find those projects, and yes in terms of bounty hunting there are lots of new people who have so much time now it try it out.

With this pandemic people's time in front of their computers and devices adds up the chance to look for potential opportunities online.

Bounty hunters are willing to take anything even they are well aware that it's more on wasting
time but given the chance they might hit the right project and earn a lot.

1. We have less bounties in crypto space now
2. We have less bounty hunters as well because many bounties failed and more keep failing.
3. Most projects team don't keep their promises
4. Crypto bounties don't pay in time, it takes weeks, months or even years sometimes

Tell me, who would wait that long if they have nothing to eat or if they have no way to pay instant bills? Many will prefer to find other means of making money over bounties

I think just a little bit but not that much first thing is that not all people know how bounty works, second not all bounties are profitable and just a waste of time if only the bounties are really profitable I don't think a lot of bounty hunters will be joining it.

I believe we have, mostly from social media bounty because I have seen so many newly created accounts participating in social media bounty since many people are at home and they have read how past bounty hunters made money from doing simple social media sharing, they are trying their luck here, even if there are a lot of bad campaigns.

Yes the pandemic brought here the aspiring bounty hunters to earn extra for thier family, especially those who are really in need and dont have enough money to start into trading.

I think we have less bounty and more bounty hunters because owing to the high level of unemployment in this pandemic people prefer to join bounty in other earn a living. And also many people lost their job because of the pandemic, so they sees bounty as a opportunity to make money. So I believed their are more people now in the bounty.

I'm 100% agreed with you bro. If now bounty payment is much delaying so that many hunters going shout down in their work. No project giving full payment at once. Will have to wait for  payment minimum 3 months even take 6 months it’s depend on the teams. Hunters a little bit increased in the pandemic, for many people’s lost their permanent job so i think it has a lot of impact here.

Though its easy to participate on a campaign but its really difficult to find a profitable and legit campaign.
Yes the number of bounty hunters/workers will surely increase due to the pandemic and many newbies will soon appears but on the other hand scammers wilk took these advantage to scam these newcomers and its really ruin thes community and will be a huge load for our moderators.

Possible but not really that precise, you can see or prove it out by looking on the registrants of this forum amidst in pandemic situation.If there is some significant change in numbers of
registrants from the start of this pandemic- presumably on month of February or March then saying that lots of people do make this forum as their last resort.

Bounty hunting? Yes, it can possibly help someone in terms of possible income.Success rate? and this is where issue or arguments do happen because we know that chances on getting
paid or making money is still questionable basing off on all shit projects that do exist.

You cant be sure if it would result into worth ending or would end up on getting some pennies.So it isnt really that advisable for making it as a main source of income.
For side income then it might do but for main ones? its better to look for another alternative.

Well it is not as if there is a data to determine this but from the overview of happenings since the pandemic it could be a possibility since many people have lost their job as a result and many people also have lots of free time on their hand because they can't go out to work so working online now seem like a better idea and doing bounty hunting seem like the perfect opportunity.

Yes, I think,although it’s still close to as it used to be. I’d say that you’re not wrong, that’s if what we are talking about is online jobs in general; there are lots of people these days that are looking for online jobs, because they don’t have other job to do. Bounty campaign is not the only type of online job there is, there are so many others you can find and I believe they will be looking into all of them.

Bounty campaigns might not come to their mind because it’s not everyone that knows about this forum. They’d first have to get to know about Bitcoin and with time they will discover this forum before knowing about campaigns to earn money. And another reason bounties might not be an option for them to consider yet is because it takes time to build your account in the forum before you start participating and not everyone can have that patience.

I have read some posts recently about their friends or family members comes back in crypto because of pandemic and because of increasing bounties opened so i think the answer is yes.
there are more bounty hunters coming from the past when the ICO becomes rampant in scamming but now there is this DEFI thing many of them are risking again to join and make money.
and with this many signature now are being worn in spreading each sections of Bitcointalk.org.

I quite agreed about the bounty can be an alternative way for people who didn't have money to get a few pennies to start the trade but there's not data that can explain the growth of the hunters. As far as i can see if there's not a lot of growth happened. If you were seeing the spreadsheet and some campaigns accepted the hunters from another forum like altcoinstalks too.

There's a lot of members in here have the accounts in such forum too and that means they were running by the same person.
I think that more hunters are coming but it's not so much as people said.

Very commonly, if you have a family then you will needed more money for alive. Everything we need foods and at the same time more costly where money is needed. Jobs at the moment say a lot of people are now working in crypto from here they are trying to meet the daily financial crisis. Bounty is a good way where we can earn some money with free so very common for increase hunter at this time.

i think it's yes just like what you've said many people doesn't have jobs or limited only even though most of the projects in my opinion is not profitable  they will take risk in participating to bounty campaigns just to sustain their living well it's kinda sad since not all bounty campaigns are fair for the participants some of them are just running away leaving bounty hunters without reward.

Even were not expereincing pandemic this forum is already have a lot of  new users everyday,  its because of bounty campaigns and airdrops that made them brought here,.and we will expect nore users coming here if bitcoin will surpass 20k again.

I guess no, they may be a few new user who comes to this forum but I don't think they will directly know how bounty campaign is and how signature campaign is. Need more time to learn also need more time to understood the rule of this forum.

I believe for those who came is an old user who just leave this forum long time ago and they came back again. For old user they will directly choose some bounty campaign because they are already know the rule and some step that should take.

The number of people who are participating in the bounties are lot less now compared to 2018 and before.Pandemic increase the people's activity time on bitcointalk but most of the old member left the forum already and you can feel ot by looking at the number of replies on each section in the last few hours.

The last quarter of 2017 and 2018 is the fix season where many people are participating in bounties. This year it can possibly increase because many want to earn extra cash but to be honest if they don't know this forum then there is no way they will accidentally find it unless someone teach them about crypto and directed them to forum to get more data or ideas they need.

New people can't really participate in bounties like in 2017 because of merit requirements were needed now to rank up so people may find this as a way to earn money but they can't start making money soon after they entered into the forum but there could be exceptions.

Mostly merit required bounties are in the marketplace were the payments is made everyweek unlike in altcoins no need merits and payments is made after the bounty end and sometimes rewards will not be given, so it is better to join on bounties that pays everyweek

Since there are no more high paying bounties as well the campaign keeps on extending their campaign without guarantee of paying after 2017 ATH that leads to many scam projects and unfulfilled payment for bounty hunters, many left here in forum. Even this Pandemic I don't think they can return here due to merit system that will be required in some real paying campaigns. It's indeed harder to earn now thru bounties but still its a extra income we should not miss as only few have knowledge about this job.

I've been passing out same sorts of circumstance as you have expressed. I was unable to overlook those brilliant days of crypto's in bitcointalk forum. It's harder to accept those days were gone, merit rules forced the vast majority of the campaigns but somehow i still feel some good project still exist and that is the reason i'm here.

Personally maybe not very significant. only increased from old hunters returning from rest.
Based on account ownership, the cheater hunters increased their account numbers because they spent more time working at home.

Since 2016 when i created account in this forum, there was no video tutorials or any guidelines about forum in youtube. Now a lot of videos on found in many platforms. So now it’s easy to learn basic likes how to join bounty campaigns. Signature are not possible for new users because they have to increase ranks. Yeah, old hunters left long time ago but mostly came back again in pandemic. Many new members added right now as a hunters.

I am not talking about the merit required/earned to join in the signature campaings.Merit requirement is basic need for a newbie to rank up now so anyone who may start their bitcointalk career in 2020 due to bullish market trend may not be able to rank up which will result in less people than in 2017 or earleir.

I don't think there are more Bounty hunters than before. Most especially that many projects end up as scams while some refuse to pay. This has frustrated many hunters and discouraged them from doing bounties which consume time and resources.

Yes,  everyday there are many people who register in  the forum to join on airdrops and bounties. Because of the pandemic people will try to look for extra income even they are  on thier home.

Yeah, it might look that bounty hunters are increasing but the case is there are fewer bounty campaigns now and because of this, bounty hunters are crowding the same campaigns. Also, It would be impossible for newcomers to participate in campaigns because of the new merit system implemented by the administrator last 2018. The case is fewer and fewer bounty campaigns are being released each month and most of it, always turns out to be scams.
