Bitcoin Forum

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

Hi
what are you talking about buddy?
welcome to the forum
I think you are new here, try to make useful threads and don't bring up something that you have never experienced before.
You need to explore this forum first and read a lot.

I'm just amazed at your viewpoint on bounty hunters.

to be precise here I see that you are wasting your time. we work seriously and not joke like you.
We don't participate in autograph campaigns once or twice, which is why we understand little by little. If you think we are wasting our time, then it is clear that your accusation is wrong

People want to make money from bounties by force, bounties aren't real money making side jobs because they won't always give you good results, most times bounties are all on lucks and if you want to expand your luck chance you need to promote every good projects that you see, some will turn out well and some will turn out badly, there is nothing that can change this

Participating in all the bounty space that the manager announces is not a sure step or guarantee that you will make big profit, it is not that easy to achieve. It is if you are lucky about the project doing well in the market. This time around is not like in 2017 when most coins doubled in price.

People who believe in their own mind that Bounty hunting is a free job  are one of the problems we experience in this space ; Bounty hunting is never a free job, it is a task with rewards and payments once it is over. Because some developers decide to be evil, greedy and refuse to pay up does not mean we classify Bounty hunting as a free task. Let us be a guided.

More importantly, a newbie should channel his or her strength to the beginners section of the forum to understand the rules and how the forum works.

There are many countries where $ 100 a month is a good salary. Therefore, these people will probably try to make money on bounty rather than work hard work.
I would support you in a different situation, but now there is a crisis all over the world, most people have lost their jobs and income.
Let people make money on bounty better than they do crime.

It is true and that is why i think it is time for hunters to unite and speak up for theor rights especially when the project team tries to exploit or abuse the hunters or deny them for their rightly earned rewards. Bounty hunting is not just bonus or free money it is like freelancer where hunters are not the employees but are paid for tasks performed according to the rules by the project.

I'm still wondering why you registered on forum today and your first post is about bounty hunting, is that what you came for? You even know merit source exist here, have you been here before?
Well, there are numerous bounty hunters turning into a good forum contributor, example is myself, I started with zero merit and all the merit I got now was earned perfectly, I quickly understood that participating in bounties won't give me what I want so I read and learnt, taught others too as well.
Having physical jobs and joining bounty campaigns here should be a thing of fun and joy, if it fails, more fun, if succeed, more fun.

Clueless post. Don't post anything just to increase your post count. Post something interesting and you will get lots of appreciation.

I will agree to you on that. People don't know how bounty campaigns are helping a lot of people. They don't do bounty campaigns which is why they deemed it as useless when it fact if gives you reward from time to time, it's just luck. But I'd rather test my luck on something as easy as bounty hunting then idle. Of course bounty hunters doesn't really treat bounty as a main job, bounty hunting is more like a side hustle.

You don't know what you are saying, there is another benefit one can earn when joining bounties, do you know that I've been able to identify or differentiate the difference between a bad project and good project because of bounties? It's eye opening for those who learn out of anything, all thanks to bounties, also some projects still pays good rewards, people need to stop joining bounties only when no projects are paying anymore, do your own research

If you think the Bounty campaign is one of the livelihoods and income for you it is wrong, as you say, real work is better for your life needs.

Bounty is additional income for you, because you have joined this forum, this forum provides bounty advertising services for bounty hunters.
This is where the luck you get if the bounty and tokens given to you are successful in the market and if the reverse is not a real burden for you, because you have a steady income out there.
And if you hope that the bounty is the main income for you, disappointed will await you in the future, that's for sure.

So, the conclusion:
1. If participating in the campaign, see a good manager and responsible, before joining.
2. Follow the campaign rules so that you don't get kicked out.
3. Don't involve Alt's account in one campaign.
4. See the advertisements / tokens that they promote are at least listed in the market and the confidence in investors in making investments.

It will all make you better.

This guy isn't a new member, you can easily find out in his post, I'm guessing he is using alternative account, the way he sounds it looks like he is very familiar with bounties, he probably promoted too many fake and scam projects that's why he said bounties are complete waste of time

OP I can mention many projects that paid bounty hunters very well this year, anyone that complains about bounties have very low experience when it comes to choosing the right projects that are worth giving a short, out of 10 new bounty projects one or two will be very solid and different from the rest, people should focus more on quality

It's not like the project you participated in will pay you an every time huge amount. It is no doubt many people think like this who failed as a hunter because they join the projects one after other and did not get the result because of lack of knowledge which project to do or which not. Yes, a job will give you regular money on monthly basis but here it's not like that. Here you will earn when the project listed in the exchange. Skillset is the important thing for any work and I will also insist do bounty hunting as a part-time job and you should have some other source of earning to meet your all expenditures. 

The harsh reality is that everyone wants to make money and only not many want to change the world for the better with their projects. Now there are very few enthusiasts because they are in great demand in this area of development, bounty companies are now just a formal tribute to old traditions...

joining a bounty is not completely waste of time if you can choose  project carefully because we can still get money from the bounty, and keep in mind, don't make bounty your main income. I myself joined the bounty just to fill my spare time because I have a business in the real world

Pretty much this. There is no problem if someone is doing bounties as long as you don't spam the forum or just engage in zero-effort, manual work. People who get engaged with projects and actually try to figure out things for themselves, deserve the money they can make from selling off once these projects get listed. It is a net positive for the individual. How that affects the whole ecosystem is a different question and the answer to that is not positive.

We can not be like them, but we have the same opportunity to make money. It's how we can try to search for many ways to make money, but many bounty hunters still participate in many projects because they believe that not all of the project is a scam. It is like to find a hidden gem from hundreds, thousands of projects in the crypto and that will need time before you found the right project.

Maybe you can say that it is a waste of time, but I don't think so for them. The bounty hunters join in the project because they are interested in the project and if they can earn a reward because of that, that will be their luck.

So this is your first post? I guess you are aiming to have an account that is plenty of merit points. lols. Anyway that is good. Hope you find and report the scam and spams in this forum. Good job!

Is this your clone account?
How is it possible if the newly registered member has had a very bitter experience in bounties?
learn how to seize an opportunity to become an income first then you can feel the uniqueness of the bounty, because if you only hear from other people you will not be able to feel the truth.

I totally agree with the OP. We should not rely on bounty itself since it's not like before, most of the bounty campaigns we currently have in the forum doesn't give you an assurance that you will earn or they will reward you a valuable token but we can't blame them from joining since it's one of the best way to get free tokens also participating on it is free.

I've been a bounty hunter before and i don't see it as a waste of time not even today because i believe there are still good projects that needs to be discover. And it takes a deep research before we can find them and be rewarded with valuable tokens. But if sometimes we end up participating in scam projects, move on and find another one. We can't make profits from bounty campaigns if we just quit after a single try and make regrets later.

but there is nothing wrong with participating in the bounty campaign, who knows that one day we can get a lot of money from our efforts to promote the project here. this is free after all, it's just that the risk is if we get the Scams project, we won't be paid either.

currently being a bounty hunter is the most difficult period if someone who is able to survive only by becoming a bounty hunter, maybe that person has another investment, does not have another job because the difficulty of finding a job makes some people choose to become a bounty hunter to find easy job options but for the time being It is very difficult to choose a project that pays bounty hunters because there are still so many scam projects that make a job more complicated and quite difficult.

I like this part :D.
Let them realize that being a bounty hunter right now isn't profitable anymore because most of them is just a waste of time. Truth hurts for real and getting some skills that will help you would be better than focusing in bounty campaigns. Be a freelancer, get some clients and be paid. That would be better.

There is no room for sorry here bruh because you are just saying the truth. Sympathy will lead to nothing. If you are a bounty hunter and you didn't get paid, the only thing that you can do is to just move on and find another project. Ranting and asking for sympathize has no room here :D.

You shouldn't tell bounty hunters who have worked long enough to leave their jobs and find work in the real world. Especially when there is a pandemic and many companies are reducing their employees.
A bounty job cannot be expected to get a large and steady income. This requires patience and what needs to be done is not getting your hopes up.

Actually, I don't see much rage from bounty hunters right now.
Like 1 or 2 every month unlike 2-3 years ago where the altcoin section is filled with the madness of hunters.

I think they already understand all of that which is why they are now used to it.
Bounty hunting is a risky job, especially for new projects. When I say new, not even a scratch. No company behind it.
If they understood all of this then, they also knew what should be done to join a higher chance project to survive.

I agree that your statements somehow reflects your feelings toward bounty projects and managers. You may have a point but this is your view alone.
Yes, it is true that bounty hunting would not guarantee a huge profit but it will benefit hunters in many ways, such as experience and knowledge.
And as we are in different situations, some see bounties as their primary source of living while some are for side hustle, in the end it still gives something to each hunter.

It's an alt of someone I believe. No one would just vent out here in the forum with a specific things that were already happening for quite some time.
We can't blame him/her though. The venting out could've been from getting scammed from a project.
OP's got a point though. It's better to gain real skills and get a real job than hunting for bounties in here.
Writing post here for reports, sharing facebook posts, and retweeting post to earn isn't really a job. It's like just a reward for doing some task, and not something that would sustain your lives. Writing articles is a different skill though and people might think of looking for that skill as well instead of focusing on hunting a lot of bounties.

Indeed as a bounty hunter, there is no guarantee that if a person will get paid properly or according to the agreement, it does not guarantee at all.
When you meet a good and successful project, then you will get a good payment. But if you encounter a failed project, then your workers waste time,
because you don’t get paid. Especially if you meet a fake project, you won’t get anything either. As bounty hunters, we all know that.
That’s the consequence. Angry or complaining, it is ultimately useless

First of all, doing Bounty is just one of the way of earning penny online, it's not a must you take it as a full time job but they should consider the amount of time they spent promoting this project. You shouldn't generalise the whole campaign, that's why it's always divided into segments such as social media, signatures, articles and graphics.
Do you want to tell me that signature and article don't take much time?
If it's that easy, by now your account should have ranked up and be doing some signature campaign and articles or graphics.

When we do talk about main source of income then doing bounties would really be a very bad idea considering the success chance on making money with it into this days which
is really lit or very low on chance or simply you would really be wasting up your precious time and effort on dealing with it but still there were people whom do really get
involved with bounties on where they do believe that they can still make it through inspite of the chances we do had.
If we do have some time to spent and not relying fully with bounty earnings then its up to you because if you do really expect that much
then you would really just get frustrated.

why are you in this forum if you have thoughts like that, what are your goals here.  I as a bounty hunter have benefited a lot, and it's not a little but a lot.  there are some who are scam but it is natural.  really makes no sense the tread you make.  maybe you are new here and haven't felt the bounty results.

In my country trust me some bankers earn $100 a month, alot of people work really hard and in a whole month they actually end up with less than $20 most times, so for anyone whose country is just like mine, that person will definitely go all in for bounties, I know getting a good bounty to participate in is rare these days, a bounty hunter can participate in 10 bounties and almost all turn out to be a scam, but all it's going to take is just one bounty to make that hunter rich, you just have keep trying, bounties like that comes once in while tho, but it's worth the wait.

This guy sounds a person that lost his account due to negative feedback, maybe he did something illegal. He is not newbie at all, he sounds like a grown man with more experience that all of us here especially the ones he's suggesting at, we the bounty hunters. For your information we are not wasting our time here. I am businessman and I have tons of works to do daily even in Sundays, I just can't accept the things you've said and I am having a lot of fun here, not just for the sake of earning alts but reading some of the users suggestions and ideas are making my day. It's takin my frustrations on my daily loads. So stop judging us like we are the same as you.

Yes bounty can still give you some extra income though I miss early days when bounty could make you rich.

You made some really good points from towards the end of your post. But the hunters have the right to be angry when the promised reward is not given. You sound like bounty hunters are some kind of beggars and the project team doing them favour by giving free coin. Need I remind you that the hunters work for the promised reward and the works they do most of the brings the investment you want to sacrifice them to satisfy.

no one can expect to be a bounty hunter, this is volunteer work, getting paid and getting high returns is not the main thing for now, depending on how the quality of the project and the bounty manager is and how you promote the project

Yes, and almost everyone does the same thing, including me too, I only make bounties as additional work when I finish working for real, this is something I have been living for a long time.

Now it is very difficult if someone immediately expects wealth through joining the bounty, because the conditions of the bounty every year are very different and currently there are so many scammers who are very clever in making bounties, so bounty hunters need to do an in-depth check before joining them.

Everyone in this world have the same goal of making money in different ways, some will end up losing money, some will end up giving up but the best way is learning before earnings to avoid going the long way and taking unnecessary risks, to make good money from bounties you need to develop your skill so you can tell the difference between bad projects and good projects

2017 was not all successful projects but at that time many people were blind and at that time there were still not many people who knew about choosing a project, just look at now many 2016/2017 projects die and disappear

Let us examine this in detail, first every bounty participant must follow the rules written in the bounty, so they have to work according to those rules, okay, secondly promoting bounties is not voluntary work because everyone has to use their time for bounties even though what he uses is free time, now and the third is that every bounty participant must know who the project team is along with the manager as well, because often the project scam lies with the team and manager who is hired by them too.

Some people are still using the bounty results of 2017 for today's bounty results which isn't possible, gone are those days and they might never come back but still few projects are still doing their parts today, my advice is never hope too much on bounty projects, there is 60% chance that you won't get paid or make any good rewards from any bounties

In this space it's not hard to make money bounty, but it takes time and i also think it's not a job for many people. Since if the scams are a lot and you don't have any experience you would be wasting your time working on those projects, so I found that the hunter was really serious about it will bring worthy results for you.

Considering the lifestyle and opportunities of those people who live in the countries of the Far East and Africa, then for them the forum is indeed a very serious opportunity to make some kind of profit. In this case, I would not be so categorical. But nevertheless, for the majority of Bounty Hunters, this activity makes it possible to accumulate start-up capital for investment and for trading cryptocurrency, without allocating funds from the home budget for this, as well as improve their skills in studying projects, as well as gain some experience from the work done. and from the information received.

It's just a shame that you wrote this thread on behalf of a newbie, and not from your main account. It would be nice to have a discussion on this topic.

A bounty hunter that promotes up to ten bounties and all the ten turn scam isn't a good bounty hunter, it's near impossible for someone to promote ten different projects and all the ten project turned scam, something is definitely wrong with the skills of the hunter, he or she knows no different between good projects and bad projects

some people who do not understand, or are just joining and trying to promote the project will find it felt that their hard work is not appreciated.
But after a long period of joining the behavior may change a little and they will choose the project to promote.
but someone will stick with that thought.

The mistake that some bounty hunters are making is using bounties as their full time job, this is so wrong, bounties are unreliable and when they failed you will start losing your cool, if you start expecting too much you will be disappointed many times, participate in projects that looks good enough for you and don't depend on that

In my opinion, being a bounty hunter should not be done as a main job. But only as additional income. So that if you don't get paid, you can still live. Because the results of this bounty are very uncertain. So you should have to find a permanent job first, and make the bounty just an additional job.

Those bounty hunters with the mindset of making money from the bounty are just making mistakes in this regards. As at this moment, any hunter without a good skill for this industry shouldn't made any attempt to game this bounty hunting industry becasue they may be doing this for selfish interest and may end up with nothing. As you said, the needed skills will be reasons for any bounty hunter to survive here.

That's right, and the advice that you like to say this is something I have been running for a long time before I started joining the bounty, because of the few people I asked about things like this, all of them gave almost the same answers as you said this, so I think this is very good advice.

So much experience about bounty, hunters and merit for an account that is newbie with only 1 activity so far :D, logic (rolling my eyes), it would have been best to be bold enough to use your real account to make this post and address hunters genuinely (although it is their prerogative to continue hunting or not), it would have been more nice, no need to hide behind a new account, the forum gives freedom of speech 8)

Skills in picking the right project to join and support, if you don't have that idea you are just doing it wrong and just wasting your time and effort, everything will turned to nothing if you dont have any knowledge about the project that you are helping, bounty hunting nowadays is no longer base from luck.

But it should be based from what addition the team are planning to the entire industry, the success of the project
will turned your efforts to decent value of compensated tokens.

Don't join in a bounty if you are going to make as a job , do it only as sideline income. That's the problem of most of the hunters   they always join in campaign hoping to get a good amount of payment but later on disappointed. there is also bounty hunters that quiting their job to focus on hunting which is wrong if you are looking for a good source of income do multiple task and do not rely on bounties.

The current bounty is not like it was in 2017. As an illustration, in 2017, only by following the social media bounty you can get big rewards. but now things have changed and the bounty is not as great as it used to be.

Even if you participate in all of those campaign there's still no assurance that you will earn just like what we can see today there's a lot of scam campaigns are running until now it's either they will pay you shit tokens or they will run away so if you participated in all campaigns the bounty have it will be just a waste of time.

@op you should know that not all hunters who are doing bounty rely on it solely as the only source of income, if there are those who only rely on bounties could be because they have not yet secure a job yet, do you think anyone will forfeit having a reasonable job for doing bounties? doing bounty is temporary for some people while for others it is an extra source of income.

When I read your first paragraph I have  to check your profile and wow you are a newbie, don't know if you have been in another forum before joining this but all the same welcome. I am a bounty hunter myself and I have a paid job. thinking that  wasting my money surfing the internet for what won't add a kobo to my income why can't I use it for promoting campaigns and getting  extra income  you can do a poll that says how many percent of people who are into bounty hunting has real life well paid job and you will be surprised.

It will only be a waste of time if the bounty hunters fail to choose the right campaign projects that they will promote it.
Looking for a job is not bad and everyone here are not force to stay here in the forum as well. Meaning, all of us here are free to do whatever they want it to do and to say. I am also a bounty hunter and I can't deny there are also several times that I got failed to be compensate after I promote their campaign but still for me its not a waste of time instead, it was a learned a lesson to me.

Every year the bounty is not the same, both in terms of the amount of reward, and in the number of successes, so if we always compare this year's bounty with the bounty in 2017, our thinking will never develop, because basically the condition of the bounty every year always different.

For me, this Forum has given me something meaningful by working and following the rules that have been set in every campaign that I follow and for more income, the amount of prizes you get, time loss, and is one of the winners depends on patterns and intelligence in determining the choices we make ourselves.

This is the best thing I read about OP's post. I think if we really need to get a good profit we need to gain some skills and apply for real jobs but we can also offer our skills here or service in the forum or anywhere in the internet as long as we can find the right niche.

If you have done bounties for 2-3 years, you must have got used to it. In fact, few years back, even though we faced the same situation sometimes, at the end of the day we got a reasonable compensation from others. But today, most of the projects are not sharing a better portion with the bounty hunters or the coin value is not much higher. Hence, what we get is really low compared to early days.

Even if the payment now is not as it used to be and bounty hunters need to be more carefull choosing the project to join but still its free money with small effort but even so they need to be paid and managers have to take care of them  plus there is still promising projects so bountyhunting era is not over yet.

It's so nice to hear that there are still some bounty hunters that still earning from bounty campaigns last time I joined I think the maximum btc that I got for whole year is around 0.01 BTC. During the 2017 I think what I earned was around 0.1 BTC in 3-6 months.

I joined some bounty campaigns, and still can do my work. In forum ,we're not forced to always online and beside we look information in this forum, we can do signature campaign, or maybe social media campaign which not much take our time. And i think it is still worth to do because we don't know which project that will be success or maybe project that end with coin with no value.

People are tired of the Scam in the crypto space. Of course, this adds to pessimism and uncertainty about the correctness of the chosen path. But for every product there is someone who wants to buy it.. Therefore, if people are interested, no one will forbid them to do it, let them earn what they can.

I'm sure you were disappointed with bounty campaigns because you were expecting big rewards and hoped it could be your main job.
If you think like that, you are wrong and indeed bounty campaigns don't suit you. To me, bounty campaigns doesn't waste time, but it
has been a huge help in my life. Especially in a pandemic situation like now, which requires income but can be done at home, becoming
a bounty hunter is the solution. If you can choose bounty campaigns correctly, the results you will get will not disappoint.

If the bounty hunter gives up just because many are hit by scammers I think that's ridiculous,
do you not understand the risks that must be accepted? That's the risk, a bounty hunter is a pretty nice job,
because prizes can reach thousands of dollars, you have to think about enthusiasm, so you don't give up

I for one make Bounty a side pay, then again I have a reality and work in reality. in any case, I love crypto and attempt my karma by joining each undertaking that I follow. It is no uncertainty numerous individuals think like this who fizzled as a tracker since they join the ventures one after other and didn't get the outcome in view of absence of information which task to do or which not. Truly, an occupation will give you standard cash on month to month premise yet here dislike that.

I do not understand what you mean, I have been following the campaign for a long time, but I never thought that this job would waste my time, I understand with your position that you may feel traumatized because of participating in a lot of scam campaigns, be wise in choosing a campaign.

Surely, there is a reason why you created a new account and then immediately rant something about bounties. That is because you have experienced joining bounties and this is not really your account and you don't want to rant it out using your real account. Why even bother doing that lad? You are not really helping the community here. Why not login using your real account and then you rant. One, that is free and two, that is rewarding to the soul. Most of us just doesn't care what you think. We have seen all of this for years now and surely sourgraping on forum won't help us achieve our goals either.

Well, that is not the issue here instead it is the OP concerns. It is actually true that OP had been experiencing the same thing that happen to most of the bounty hunters.

As time pass by, the OP will probably will going to get along with it. I myself had not even get a good reward hut still earning few cents here are really exciting. However, if one can get more lucky earning huge would be possible.

Yup I guess he/she is new to the forum, for newbies it is really hard to understand forum at first but when you explore and learn about what going on here, you will realize and learn a lot. We are not wasting time in here, you can do a lot if you really strive for something. If you have dreams in life, maybe doing this is the gateway to it. I’ve been doing this for years though I stop, still I know what happen here.

Being a bounty hunter is indeed a lot of risks, and you have to be ready to accept it,
for me this is not a waste of time, because many bounties in Q3-Q4 are good,
of course this makes me excited, I hope you are too.
