I've seen some projects who changed contract address and did a complicated token swap after thier airdrop or Bounty. So, anyone who is holding this coins will be left with a useless version of it. And most of them don't know because they are already following other projects as a bounty hunter.
An Example of these kind of projects is tratok who did token swap more than once. And left many holders hoping on useless tokens.

So many hunters who believed in these kinds of projects will always say some sort of bad words to people who sell their token.
But Wait Please.
Are they hunting bounty to hold or live with the payment?
As for me, I can only do a bounty to use some of my payments and not to hold all.

Although some might prefer to invest thier time instead of money to get some tokens to hold but no one need to blame the ones who dumped. Although, dumpers can make price fall more than expectation. But no ones knows anyone current condition or situation.

This is the way I understand this kind of situation.
Any dumper needs money.. Thats it.
Or what do you think?

That's the airdrop or bounty Hunter.90% of them will dump, only 10% will believe and hold.Why are they doing dumps? Because they believe that every time the airdrop event is over there will be a decrease in price and they don't want to miss selling these coins.

It was stressful to think about bounty and about the airdrop. They are no good this time especially for airdrop and I don't know why people still participating in airdrops since they know what could be the possible ends, they are actually wasting their time on that. We can't blame others, that even the one who runs bounty and airdrop campaign but definitely just ourselves. Though we condone such activities, however, we can't hold innocent and no-how individuals to take the risk.

And my opinion of this, better to stay away from them. Any promotion that runs unquestionably should be ignored and much more for any airdrops.

Airdrop is just to attract investors, if they changes the address without any notification then don’t expect that token to become more valuable in the future. A bounty hunter can’t affect that much especially if the bounty allocation of the project is not high enough to dump the price, what matters here is that, the price will depend on how the team meets their promises.

If there’s a late payment on the bounties then expect the hunters to take actions against you, and this is the start of the price dump. Hunters can sell anytime they want, and if that project is indeed a good one it will be able to pump again just like the many tokens in the market right now.

What was the intention for the work in the first place?..... to eat right?, so be it. Those who dump their tokens from the bounty are those who work for a living and not those who have financial strength for a keep. Personally, i get involved into series of bounty just to make some good payout from the process, so, myself dumping my tokens bores down to my wants. Some other hunters like to hold becasue they are strong financially compare to the weak. Also, the dumpers are more smarter than the holders when it come to shitcoins altcoins.

Most people that does bounty hunting do it not because they want to hold token for long period but just to have money for their daily need. However, not all bounty hunter dump token especially when the project is still much in continuous development stage. I have also been a victim of dev that will lock token and rendered it useless. I could remember a token called ASOBI coin that announced that token will be released to hunters in batches and it will take more than a year to completely release all the token to the hunters. It is almost two years, I have not received my token

Bounty hunters are generally not interested in the project. They just mind how much money they will earn and buy ether or btc directly with the tokens they gain. For this reason, bounty hunters may not always have a positive effect on projects.

Airdrop are not created to attract directly investors, but just to spread the news and find some people (with free marketing).
I have received in the past some airdrops (like HYDRO). After a while they made a swap of their tokens, but it was distributed for free to the holders of the "old coin". Just it was launched a new smart contract for the project.
@OP Did you know some specific example of coins that has completely changed token holders?
I think there are other ways to scam people.
As reported the biggest is just to delay the payment to bounty hunter, or releasing in a small batch.
We have discussed a lot of times about it, each project has a personal history for promotion, I don't think there is a unique version that can fit with interest of all "actor" involved in this process (from admin to final user)

It's there fruit of there labor. Its not a DUMP actually but cashing out there money out from the token. The team should know that before offering huge amount of tokens for bounty campaign. They should set a locked in period or a buy on all those token if they really want to control the price. What should people expect for bounty hunters token? Hodl and wait for price pump? You gotta be kidding, They are not investors nor trader of the token. They earned it so they deserve sell it whenever they want.

I like your opinion. But at times, you know, no matter how small the token or airdrop that will be distributed is, some people still prefer to participate. Most of the airdrop hunters believed that their might be a token or a good project in any the promotion they participate in.
And most of them mostly participate in shit projects promotion.
You have a good opinion but some guys still need a penny no matter how small it is.

Bounties are reward for your work, so it may be a personal reason when they decide to hold. If I see a future in a project, I may decide to hold but I know the difficulties of holding altcoins in my portfolio that's why I make sure to always stick to their social channels especially Telegram and do what's best for the token at the necessary time.
About dumping of tokens by hunters, the team don't have control over market and they can't tell them not to sell when they need their money. If a project is built on solid foundation, dumping shouldn't be a problem, it will revive back in time as the project progress with frequent updates. Don't forget that whales contribute to this projects as well, they sell once they notice team is about to make distribution of token to hunters and after a while, they buy back at low price and sell high. You can't blame them, everyone is looking to book profits.

but for sure if the project look solid and promissing project, for sure about 50% of bounty hunters will not sell their rewards as soon as possible
thats why before we join any campaign we should do our research, just like if we want to invest our money

I'm really indifferent about what bounty hunters do with the earned tokens because they worked hard for those tokens and if they consider the tokens worth selling, no qualms. But I'm certain that if they trust the project to deliver better reward in the future, they will be reluctant to sell their tokens.

A simple thing should be when they have already received what they deserved from their effort and that's their decision whether they wanna try to sell or hold their coins.
in fact, it's not all of hunters (in this case i meant it's not 100% true if all of participants will be dumping their coins coz there were some hunters who believing in the future of project)

This is also actually getting affected by the how good the project was.

Just take a look at how some participants of DIA bounty are still holding their coins.

Fundamental of the coin, urgent needs, or another reason that could affect the decision that will be taken by the hunters to hold or sell their coins.

DIA is not the best example here. Bounty hunters saw how quick and easily price when up from 2 to 4-5 dollars and they notice how it goes down when distribution date is near. They hold tokens because they expect the price to get back to 3+ dollars and would dump them.

Those who had earned 10-20 tokens already dumped them. Those who have 100+ tokens wait for better price.

it is our reward during the bounty, so it will not matter. If indeed the token is good and there is a lot of interest in the market, the liquidity of the coin is also high, the dump or pump that bounty hunters do to the rewards obtained will not have a big effect because it is only a small part of the total supply and circulation of supply. So, just selling it is okay, it's our right.

Not a good way to reduce the supply of tokens and many will left thier old tokens if they don't always check updates of the project .thats a big problem of tokens they can easily make one without any valid reason why they need to change contract. They are just wanting to reduce the token holders. as if it will help the price increase if one of the investors failed to swap thier tokens .this means they lost already a investors.

There is no way a project will change their smart contract without informing the public either investors or bounty hunters, this blame is on the public not the team, if you miss out it's simply because you aren't following the project update, it's true that some bounty hunters end up with outdated tokens but it's their fault

In the past I have a straight mind of holding many tokens I earned through bounties but I end up with shit tokens instead, no single tokens I hold keeps it's value or grow higher, they keep losing value every day, now they are worthless so it's a good move if you dump your tokens earned through bounty campaigns

Most bounty hunters sell their coins as soon as they receive the payment, this causing a sudden change in the market price. They are not too worried about the future of the project. They don't check the project much, the most important thing for them is to get the bounty payment. Since they join the bounty campaign of a project, they get that token / coin as a reward for their work.

So they want to sell the coins as soon as they can and cash out their money. And they get airdrop without any work, so they think that selling these free coins is a profit.

Absolutely, reward tokens are earned by the hunters so these are there tokens and they are free to do whatever they want to do with their tokens.
The key is that hunters should only promote high quality projects that they will be happy to hold and even if they want to sell the price does not dump because of high volume.

That is the trouble with almost all the drops after release and dump, the fact that some other projects did something bad, there are others who are getting punished for it but it makes sense as well and can't say anything bad to anyone for it. There are scam projects and bounty hunters work hard for them and get nothing, these are more common than you might think and there are thousands of them all lying around, so what happens is Bounty Hunters end up working tons for one thing and they end up not doing that well at all in the end, which is why they hate most of the bounties but they have to keep working to make more.

Eventually one good project comes up, and they do everything right but hunters still dump it as soon as they get it, why? Because they were scammed before, so the good project did nothing wrong but the hunter was hurt so commonly so far that we can't blame them neither.

Most hunters are actually unemployed or lack full time job so it is easy to understand that they do this job for some money which makes it clear that most of them will dump or cashout their rewards as soon as they will receive them but i am sure there is huge community of hunters that also hold and support the project for longterm so we cannot just blame the hunters. Also if the team is worried about dumps they can pay the equivalent reward in stablecoins.

I did A LOT of bounty hunting during 2016 and 2017, and my mindset was HODL. They will pump, and i'm gonna get rich.
Boy was i wrong. Altho some (like  5% of them) did pay out bigtime after about a year or so, most of them didn't.

I'm now stuck with 200+ different tokens in my wallet, which are worthless. And if there is some shady market for them, like FD, it costs more to sell them than they're actually worth.

I know why you think it will work because you see that it work to others that earn a lot for waiting too long before selling . And you are hoping that kind of profit will also happen to you. thats why you decided to hold your airdrop coins or bounty rewards hoping that it will make you rich someday. Which is in reality its just a false hope of people that looking away to be rich .

Exactly, that's my point. Nowadays i hardly ever participate in altcoin bounties, or only in those with established projects already holding value. Like lets say EOS, DOT etc..
The rest is just wishfull thinking. But in the end, you never know, even some stupid projects were worth a lot in 2017 bull run

You cant dictate what the hunters will do on thier bounty reward, every hunter has thier own reason why they sell their token. Maybe its for emergency, or they think that the  project isnt strong enough to continue thats why they dump thier token.

Reasons on why we do still have that kind of glimpse of hope due to the things that we had seen in the past.We can really say that it is indeed possible for someone to get rich because of their bounty holdings
or some sort with shitty tokens out there where they did really have the chance to pump out thats why i cant really blame out people who do really held off their coins and having those kind of hopes.

This is why i do really say that bounty tokens do really need some sort of luck on someone for them to get some significant amounts of money.Its on random basis and youre right that even
on the shittiest project that we have seen where they do able to get better value compared to those projects which do seem legit and relevant but we are wrong in most of the time.

Its really a matter of decision making neither if we sell off directly or tend to hold even longer just because of believing into something.

First of all why i gonna hold a token? Why and how much time i need patients. If a project roadrun very clear then we should hold long time because it has profits chance but if we received shitcoins from a bounty then no need hold. Just go and sell because a shitcoin never make you gain so don't spend your money and time in shitcoin.

Its really sad to say that if there are lots of projects that are now ongoing will do these swapping of tokens as payment it will really ruin the cryptoworld specially these forum and may damage the overall reputation if cryptocurrencies.
I really want to bring back the past at the tear 2017 in which scammer are much less than and only phishing site are the threat.

And yet still unsolved ... On my years of participating different campaigns I already collect numerous token and only few has its value. Its really shame that this tokens will stacked at my wallet and hoping to raised or even got its value sometime.
As of now i do the hodling and trading and participating on a single campaign the profit is not that huge but still i can manage to gain an stable profit from these.
Dumping tokens is part of crypto worlds market cycle so I don't have much argument and problem on that. But scammers are scammers hope they hit their Karma soon.

When you get rewarded for promoting a project or participating in a bounty, what you do with your reward is up to you, no one can tell you what to do with it, just as no one can advice you on the coin to invest in, so that when you decide to hold and the price becomes terrible you blame no one and also, when you sell and the price goes up, you have no one to blame as well.
However on the other side, only few new projects can be trusted to the extent of believing they will pump when holding them, a whole lot tends to disappoint heavily, hence the reason a lot of hunters sells their rewards immediately. Also, changing of smart contracts or token swap is another thing to look out for, because it won't make sense that you are holding a token because you trust it, only for the team to carryout token swap.
To be frank, there are indeed many reasons why people sell their rewards and they are entitled to their opinion towards it, Moreover a good number of new projects nowadays are not reliable hence due diligence is always advised.

i kinda agree with you, people have different situations and reasons to dump and sell at cheap price,
but i think the real problem is bounty hunters with multiple accounts, they would sell their combined
tokens from their multiple accounts on the lowest prices, which can get them a guranteed small amount that they find enough for them
it's so hard to prevent people from entering bounties with multiple accounts, they'll always find a way

Why would bounty hunters do took all the blame when it comes to dump? Why not consider the investors itself on such common scenario?
Main dumpers are the investors and considering the amount given or allocated to bounties then you can say that it wont really be affecting that
much yet 1% max on total supply isnt really that big for people to worry but this had been the norm where bounty hunters are the main dumpers.
In talks about swaps then someone should really be keen on being updated on what are the developments or announcements that had been made on
to their previous bounties that had participated because it would really be such a waste if you do just slip those info's which you can
possibly make money out of it.

Nah... that's what im thinking about that. I remember when people who called utrust as a scam because it was getting dumped so hard and now it's going to the moon and even gets listed on binance. What about that? a strong project deserves more trust from us. Remember about JRT, the team needs almost a year to distribute the bounty each of the hunters has been getting more than 10k USD.

that's worth our patience.

Too much of work for bounty hunter with no real benefits of doing it so its better to se their token rewards for some coin which is nit going to do useless things like swap.

I think everything is summarized as follows:

1 - the person did a certain service

2 - the person received their payment

3 - the person has the right to do whatever he wants with his money

it is not a question of whether the project is going to a major dump or not, it is a matter of committing to paying the bounty hunters and the bounty hunters have the right to do whatever they want with the money they received

that's true they wanted money so they will sell it no matter what price it is. it's not new in bounty campaigns if you give a lot of coins to bounty hunters expect a huge dump of tokens on the first phase after the listing of tokens but if the project is good i'm pretty sure the price of those tokens will increase.

At least there must be a batches system for the distribution. This could decrease the possibility for the market to get the instant dump but in this case, the team was also putting too much token in the market too. That means if the price of token can easily be dumped caused by these tokens were distributing at the same time.
The team is a party who has been mistakenly putting too much amount.

I have high regards for projects who did this, but they are rare the last campaign I've seen that pay Bitcoin on their campaign, signature campaign specifically was Amepay, they still running a bounty campaign and they are now paying with their own token, and there's a possibility that the project will have potential in the market, I hope more bounty campaign in the altcoin section will pay hunters Bitcoin or even tradeable coin.

They will and so many people who have received the bounty from the promising coins are still holding their coins. As far as i know, more than 50% of bounty hunters in DIA campaign are still holding their coins.
I can't deny that the dump by hunters will be affecting the price if there's not volume.
The main problem should be on the daily trade volume. If there's a huge volume and it will not give any impact but otherwise if it will become a very bad thing for sure when the volume is very small.
What plays the main role to prevent the dump was the volume.

It will be better to sell than to hold and wait till its lost it's value. It's natural in other altcoins that the price get low or lose it's value since many still wanted to invest in top altcoins however if we see how dedicated the tea in developing their project sometime I intend to jsut hold till they got noticed by many,.

They have the rights to sell it or dump it. It's their reward after all maybe they just wanted to have secure payment since they have been in the bounties for long time and seen how many tokens or projects that goes to waste in short time so while there still a value sell it.

it is your right to sell or be a "DUMPER" in the token/coin that you get from joining the bounty program.  There are only two possibilities if you do not sell tokens/coins that you get from the reward is :> someone else who becomes "DUMPER" or the token/coin will become useless (shittoken/coin) in the future..

No one can really stop you on doing to do so yet we are aiming on making money so its just right to sell of those tokens once you had able to receive that one.

Also its always the bounty hunters do took the blame when the price had dumped when it gets listed without even thinking that the main dumpers are the investors itself.

Try to look back on how much token they do allocate only for bounty and talking that they are the main dumpers? Pathetic kind of thinking.

Its up to us if we hold those tokens being paid to us specially if we do saw that it does have potential but most of the time we are aiming for making money.
