I really like being a bounty hunter, even though sometimes I help to promote projects that in the end don't pay off to me. but I kept on going on and on to keep up with projects that would eventually bring me income.
this is a bit of my experience as a bounty hunter.
I also want to know the experience you have...Thank yOU Guys

Carry on son, most people don't know how to keep trying when failure comes that's why they never accomplish anything, it can be frustrating to promote projects for months and end up a scam but serious is there anything that comes easy? We gotta try real real hard, most times hard way is the only way

Likewise, I think there is a different kind of feeling it gives when you promote a project and at the end get paid for your time and effort,  and I agree,  some scam project will make the experience not so pleasant but to me at the end of the day it is something I do on my spare time so I don't mind continue hunting and supporting good project,
I believe crypto is the future and soon things will be done different. Happy New Year to all Members of the Forum!!!!!

It's why its called bounty hunting, you can't always get the right game when you go hunting, some times you will come back empty handed, if you don't see this as a normal thing you shouldn't be a bounty hunter, some projects will do you good and some will treat you right, get used to it or leave

The same scenario happened to all of us, some projects screwed us and wasted our efforts and time but it's okay, it wouldn't be a bounty hunting if there's no risk involved right? Usually i do get paid in the past but nowadays i'm just staying away and saving my efforts but there's at least some good bounties to hunt right now, i might jump in any time.

2020 bounties aren't that bad, some are actually scam projects but some are so damn good, they give bounty hunters good rewards and some are saying 2020 was a better year for bounty hunters than 2019, don't know how true that is, I do hope this year will be better? Scam projects won't seize to exists so we got to keep trying to avoid them

No matter what we did, the risk will be there. I think many people have the worst situation while they are trying to make money.
With those experiences, that can give us the knowledge to search for other ways to make money.
If we get a scam by the project, we should realize that it is a normal experience and we can not expect that what we did will always give us a good result.
Good luck to you until you can achieve what you want.

Obviously, this job is bringing income, although it is not much, but personally i am always satisfied with what i have done with bounty campaigns, i realize that the risks in this job are great when There are many scam projects still active, but time it takes me to have a lot of reviews about it and give myself the decision to join that work, i think it will take time to fully experience it. set of what goes on for such kind of work.

Bounty campaigns are already different now compare with previous years, like year 2017 and below.
There are some bounty hunters who already stopped after the huge dump after 2017-2018 bull market, which lead most of the bounty tokens being worthless or some bounty campaigns ended not paying the bounty hunters.
What I want to see in the future is they will become more responsible soon, avoid promoting some suspicious projects, although it is kinda difficult to identify.

Sadly, in certain cases, the contribution of the bounty hunters to the development and progress of a project are unappreciated. With the different tasks to accomplish just to impressively promote it, they deserved good pay. However, some of them are not treated fairly. 

Just keep on striving, it will eventually pay off. By your determination, you can clearly achieve it. Unpleasant experiences will happen along the way, so prepare yourself. Also, be wise in selecting a project, check the announcement thread, and evaluate the project. In that manner, you can familiarize yourself with the project and see if there’s any red flag.

I also had the experience of joining a project campaign to promote it, but after the bounty was over and within a while they disappeared without telling everyone, from there I started to be careful in looking for projects to join the project in the campaign.

If you don't have the mindset of winning the game you won't want to put in more effort, I guess this is why many bounty hunters decide to quit, I've promoted over six different projects and like two projects failed me, none turned scam but the projects just failed and get abandoned, to make good rewards from bounties you have to be determined

Being a bounty hunter is a lot of surprise and struggles. Surprise if you join a project that you didn't expect to pay and you earn big. Struggles if you joined bounty campaign and promote a lot of project which at the end didn't pay the hunters and just waste your time and effort.

Anyway, we have different experience a a bounty hunter, but either it is good or bad experience, for me just continue and don't stop to find a good project to promote. But, it is up to you if you need to make money by joining a bounty campaign then you can go on, if not, then you can stop if you don't want to take a risk and try to waste your time and effort.

This is what bounty hunters should know from the basic thing such as what they're promoting, learn how to promote correctly, learn how to create high quality content/post, how to determine which project is good etc. Most of only know how to apply and spamming to able reach the bounty task.

Wait, you're still brand new account and no any post about bounties in your post history [1] and claiming had a experience on bounties

I wonder how many accounts you have here ::)

I must tell you, working on bounty for days and nights and not getting paid at the end of it pains more than untreated wounds.
I've worked on many bounties and I can tell you base on my country situation that I earn a living from from hunting. Paying bills, rents, clothing and feeding are all taken care of through bounty hunting.

I've been a bounty hunter for so long and sadly, bounties before are not like the bounties right now. It is far too different from what we used to have. What we had before was really profitable and there are only few scams. Now, there are plenty of scam existing already that's why many campaigns ended up shutting down. It is very essential to make sure that you are doing your best in promoting and you always find effective ways that will match the price you are being paid.

I am also an experienced bounty hunter but I left joining bounties from the last month of 2019 but again I started to participate in bounties from Nov 2020. I left participating in bounties because most of the bounties in 2019 turned scam or did not pay So I lost faith but when I saw the market is improving month by month I started again as a hunter and now I am receiving again bounty rewards as well.

Everyone who participates in bounty companies is faced with this completely, because most bounty companies are scams, and therefore this happens, but after all, from the very beginning it is very difficult to distinguish a good bounty from a scam bounty, because scam projects know how to present their projects like a top projects.

Once I joined a bounty campaign my mindset is set at 50/50 I either get paid or it turn scam, although I might have done a thorough research before joining it however I discovered that despite all the media hype, ICO ratings, developers of the project and reputation of the bounty manager managing it, all these might not guarantee a payment, I once had a bitter experience on such bounty campaign which lasted for 3 months and the end everybody involved in the project never show up again.

What is the point of receiving bounty rewards when 99% of all the tokens you receive are useless? I participated on quite a lot of bounties in the past but only 1 bounty got listed to a major exchange. All the rest of the tokens I have can't really be traded and just sit there in my MetaMask wallet.
There can be some good bounties that pay out in ETH or that directly pay to your in game wallet (like the Betfury bounty) but that is a minority.

That means if the project is only wanna getting the free promotion. I have been seeing a bunch of the scam project like that. Some scam projects were even changing their contract to the new address to make the tokens that distributed to the hunters became useless but their tokens were dead too.
I guess there are so many hunters have experienced this and almost all of the hunters ever promoted the scam projects. I have wasted a few months to promote the scam one called kittiefight.
It's a difficult time for us when the project became another scam.

Just like you, I also often join campaigns that end up not paying or end up in scams but that doesn't make me sad because to be honest, bounties are just extra work for me to fill the time when I'm relaxing.

I do not have an enough experience to say lots of thing. But in my 3-4 months being a bounty hunter i want to share my earning with you guys. When i start my bounty journey in 3 months ago i started with a project which was pay in usdt. I joined their campaign lots of people says that the project is scam. Because the admin of this peoject was an admin of previous scam project. But i follow a youtube channel and he told me to complete task. The task was for 1 week i had less follower on twitter then i joined the campaign after end of the campaign. Then after 1 months i recieved almost $43 usdt. And i feel soo happy my journey was too good. I feel yes it has future because my start was good. After that i am Working regularly and i am trying to focus on article writting and social task i can cover more earning because i write article. I have less follower on my social media that is why i got less earning on twitter task. That is why i am working on increasing social followers. At the end of the word i want to say in crypto you will face lots of scam but don't lose hope just working you will get your prize.

This is commonplace and felt by all bounty hunters. In fact, our quality and quantity guarantees that the campaign manager provides the mandate appropriately and is not in vain. If a campaign is not as expected, it is an anticipation for us in the future so that we can always filter what we think is right and will also be very useful.

I love participating in bounty campaigns. I'm not doing this just to earn money. It is a very useful job for me because I spend productive time and share about cryptocurrencies. I will continue this  :D

The best bounty campaign for me is the one I'm wearing now, I'm getting weekly earnings and it's Bitcoin which I can trade right away when I received my payout, I was burned on doing bounty on these new coins, since I joined this campaign I never looked back again, I don't want to have wasted time.

Of course everyone has good and bad experiences as a bounty hunter. My experience in 2017 was getting a pretty big reward on the Goal Bonanza bounty, and a bad experience I should have gotten a pretty big reward on the Idol and Surety bounties, but once entered the market, the prices of the two tokens were far from what was expected. Another bad experience, of course, is that there are many unpaid bounties, so many bounties that are scam and do not pay as promised. But I take the positives, if it is sustenance, it will definitely not go anywhere.

Those in that section should always be those who can bear the burden of working for a particular project without getting paid. And for your information almost everyone was once a hunter and this issue you have raised were those same issues that made some exited the bounty hunting sections, i quit the bounty for one particular project i was fortunate to promote and the project scale through got even listed on Binance exchange without the team paid the hunters. Most projects owners do intentionally did this type to hunters around this space.

Way back 2017-2018 I made some good fortune with bounties.
$1000-2000 for the first project I joined in and then almost $20k for the last one.
I got lucky when the coin hit the exchange. It was selling in a good price and I never intended to keep it so I sold half of it while the remaining will be left to wait for the price to take its peak.

There is nothing to be happy about being a bounty hunter when you get cheated 9 out if 10 times with your hard work. If you want to continue as bounty hunter then make yourself better with analyzing so you can avoid more scam and useless projects than before and don't forget time is most valuable thing than anything.

Do you know what kill bounty hunters sometimes? There expectations are very vert much sometimes that's why it's always disappointing at the end and too much expectations brings disappointment sometimes.
Ones a project create a thread on bounty board, the next thing I try to do is to do my own reserch before I proceed 2ith any promotion. I have also made up my mind not to participate any project that's coordinated by newbie except for copper members. High rank members never disappoint most of the time

Since bounties and ICO were just started those time which makes it profitable, I remember being able to earn alot too from social media campaign as well in signature. Only few participants that time but the reward budget by the project is quite a big percentage. Unfortunately I did not sell most of my altcoins that time only spend it when I needed money and now those altcoins didn't have any value now so I tend to be more focus whenever I do trading after the 2017 pump.

For now yeah its really hard to find a good project to join since most of them always turn to be scam. But you need to continue your effort finding good project if you want to get decent rewards it's normal thing that you can join in not so good project with low payment but it doesn't mean that you will alsway find a shit project. You will also find good project by continuing your job . It's about luck if you found a project that will rewards you godd amount then it's good to you if not it's still ok since you are only using your effort to promote it not your own money.

I have also experienced a situation where the project team scam bounty hunter twice when I still work as bounty hunter but it literally gives me the knowledge/hints of knowing the perfect bounty to work for in other not to waste my time on lying project team.

1) The number one thing you first need to look at before joining a bounty is the total allocated token in USD if it worth the time.
2) How the bounty manager's previous bounties end well and the manager's reputation.
3) Do some background check about the project team and the project.

How can one project scam hunters two times? Either bounty hunters gets a rewards or gets nothing.
Or they scammed hunters with distribution, and then like “hey hunters, want to promote us one more time and maybe this time will will distribute rewards?” ?

There is no of fence if you want to be a Bounty hunter, but it cannot be full time and you cannot base your day to day transactional charges on Bounty hunting because projects can be unreliable

You jut need to pick the ones that is close to becoming a real project. We have some share of experiences, I found myself not paid too after months of promoting a project, its not a pleasant feeling but you get to move on.  It would be unfortunate if all the campaigns you join will all not be paying  you.

What I did is find a real job on upwork and from there I get to earn my funds for supporting myself and then see crypto as your hobby.

The worse one is none of that, the worse one is literally asking money and I can't believe that. When a scam project says that they are giving away this many tokens, and says that they need 0.05 ethereum for the transaction costs, that project is a scam project and they are not after giving you any money at all, no real project would ever do something like that. First of all they can send you their own token for nearly free, that is aside, if it costs a lot, they should be able to pay that much, because you are working for them and you deserve it.

So long story short all the ones that asks people to pay them some money for "transaction costs" or basically any reason at all are all scams. Those are the worse ones in the market right now, taking money from people who do not know how it works, and they even list their tokens price made up so people would assume it will be like that, whereas nobody agrees to that.

My experience as a bounty hunter is not so bad. Because I have seen many ICO's to be successful in 2017 and some of them I joined and got satisfactory payment. But after 2017, my experience was not good and then I left the forum as a bounty hunter. In Covid-19, I am here now and doing some bounties. I am expecting and optimistic that the new journey will be good as expected.

Good for you. Although it is not really good to be a bounty hunter. Some say that it is a waste of time. But just do what you like. Having income in such terrible occasion is what we must do to survive during the crisis

In a way both projects and hunters need each other to exist properly, being a hunters definitely has its ups and downs but there are times when you get the satisfaction of it all because one among the very many project you help promote have truly compensated you for your hardwork and support and it is because of such moments that some hunters continue striving.

My experience is similar to yours. I participated in some got my pay, some don't pay at all, some even doesn't end before it will be cancelled by the manager but the positive ones keeps me going. No pain no gain we move

Most times you will feel a bit down because sine project only want to use hunters but don't intend to pay even a little for the effort they contribute,  I don't let it discourage me, I join bounties anytime I have free time in my day to day life, it is fun and bitter all together.

You should do you best to hang on to what is given you your daily bread, it seems you are lucky to always join good bounty if you solely depend on earnings from bounties to take care of your immediate needs,
I also like it but sometimes am not able to meet up since I have a job in real life and hunting is more like something I do in my spare time.

Adjust yourself and learn the differences between good and bad projects and you will end up saving your time and energy on unnecessary projects, I've promoted few scam projects but I am now better because I can tell the difference using my research ability and so far I get less bad results

Well, consistency definitely brings success in longterm scenario but unfortunately the community has done nothing to make sure hunters are paid everytime from each campaign that they have worked for. Also it is seen that there are not much quality campaigns with decent budget available recently which is also keeping thousands of hunters to stay on the sidelines.
I hope we will soon see a lot of high quality campaigns with big budget because market is looking good ahead.

9 out 10 bounties being unsuccesful - is this your experience? Even if analizing campaign to join, are you sure it will bring yo money? So far only Bitcoins is thing that grows. I came to this long time ago - bounties with payment in bitcoin are the only one worth participating. Other campaings are lotteries.

Being a bounty hunter is like gambling.  Either you get paid or not.  Then if you got paid, it is either you get big time, average or none at all since the reward token is worthless.  It is quite interesting and at the same time exciting/disappointing to be a bounty hunter.  But whatever is the result, we should get going since I know eventually we will come across a campaign that will give us a what we call a "jackpot".

One of the risks that must be faced as a bounty hunter is only that, yes not being paid is a pain for us as a bounty hunter,
but I appreciate your enthusiasm, but currently there are many good bounties managed by good managers too,
I see you It's also good to join Amepay, moreover AME has also registered on Bithumb and the pay is weekly, I say congratulations to you,
and don't forget after Amepay ends maybe you can join MyIdentity, because this is also a good project.

I personally have experienced almost the same thing with hunting bounties. I also help to promote projects that don’t pay to me and
help to promote several scams project too. This incident is beyond my expectations. But besides that, there is a project that pays me
with a big reward. For that, I kept on keeping up with the project, and not easy to give up.

I started entering this crypto world as a bounty hunter, at that time and until right now, still as a bounty hunter. Having hard work but no payment, payment but cannot be cashed out, or even payment but very very small value, until very worthy payment rate.
However, what makes it different is the progress and also our thought about the earning or income in the crypto world. It is not only from a bounty hunter. This can be a side job where we can also contribute more to this forum. But, crypto has taught me many things, about what to do as a worthy crypto enthusiast or event going to be a trader or investor. however once more, we need to spread our involvement, not only as a bounty hunter right here.

I don't really hate it but when reading and hearing some stories about it I feel like it is just a gamble and it could be a waste of time.
Imagine having to promote a campaign for months then you wouldn't even get something in return or you would receive a worthless tokens.
And if you are lucky you could gain a good profit but most of the time it would be a scam/worthless crypto or a very low value token.

become a bounty hunters is not easy, wich mean we must know how to indetify a good bounty project before we joining the campaign my friend
wich mean we must do a research before decide to join just like if we want to  invest our money
regards

We all have experienced what you've experienced, not getting paid or get paid with their tokens that have no value in the market, you need to motivated to go on because it's frustrating if the majority of the project that you are joining or promoting are not paying you right, os many projects are scam and developers are delaying payments, sometimes it takes 3 to 5 months to receive your stake.

I've been a bounty hunter since 2017 and stopped in 2019 because at that time it seemed like many projects didn't pay off. And if you only earn from the bounty it's really not worth it for now, I also have other job aside from participating in promoting the project. But I tried to come back again when bitcoin touched the new ATH.

All projects now are shit and arent really worth for you time and effort but there are some or lets say 1-5% on total count which are paying and do really make out some decent
profits or pays for its hunters but finding one will really be pain in the ass considering on how many projects you would need to check first before making a selection.

I have good experience as a bounty hunter too back in the days of 2017 but majority of projects now turns out to be a shit.

People should consider the bounty campaign as the side job only, there are so many people who are thinking if they can fulfil all of their daily needs from the bounty campaign. Sometimes the bounty campaign can be very profitable but it's really wrong at all.
that will make people have a very good mentality and then they will not be feeling so sad when the campaign didn't pay them all.
DYOR is a must and people should pay more attention to the scam accusation section to know whether there's a scam accusation against the project that they currently promoting it or not.

Becoming a Bounty Hunter requires a lot of factors, experience, time that we spend on our work along with a bit of luck from the projects. The most important thing is that the crypto market should be good and Bitcoin goes up. I wish this 2021 our jobs all going well and good luck in Bounty Hunter.

I am doing bounty hunting since last 1 years but not all bounty gives us profit as far as I know 60% of bounties are fake remain 40% are genuine but they also have strict rule for subscribers or followers I think this is a good source of extra income

This is first time I am hearing someone with positive attitude towards the bounties. Thats really surprsing to me. Honestly I never liked bounties because they are too complicated for me and there is lot of work to do which at the end turn out to be done for scam projects.

I think over the time you will understand this rage is real. I dont know how much time you have spent but as far as I have seen long threads of people arguing about bounty being worst promoter, it's definitely not my thing.

But obviously if you feel that you can make huge difference then you should continue the same.

My experience with bouenties were good back in 2017 and 2018. that ICO era. I use to make good money by bounties that time. then when Ico phase was over and every 2nd ICO started getting failed. I left joining bounties. for about 2 years later I started with some bounties again.
so far I've joined
4 Bounties. 1 for signature and 3 for article. first one already scammed me and other 3 didn't paid yet. so I am not experiencing anything good yet. hopefully I'll earn something from at least one or 2 bounties so I can equal my loses.

I think working for with all of your effort and precious time and then afterward you will not get paid by the bounty that you have participated is normal to all us bounty hunter, we all have experienced that even those who are in the higher rank which for me is just part of this line of work. We just need to accept the fact that there are plenty of bounty campaigns that turns out to be scam or failed but at the end of the day we still need to work much harder in order to received the right amount of earning we should have and we just need to try and try to gain appropriate earning as being bounty hunter.

During my time as a bounty hunter, joy and sorrow have occurred in my life, from bitter experiences to sweet experiences that I have had.
for those who have never felt big income in bounties keep trying and don't give up. sometimes we have to go through a difficult phase first to get something valuable.

I want to laugh widely reading the OP thread, it's amazing you are very busy in the field of bounties, salute ha, ha, ha.

Other members are busy thinking about useful information for other members and always help users in this forum, such as: catch scams, information about crypto, Bitcoin, forums and so on, while you are busy with Bounty, that's a great job for you, congrats.
I hope you stay here longer.

Every bounty hunters are put in the dark until the project get listed and fulfill their words in the end, it's why we called it bounty hunting, you can only make a guess of what you would earn but the end result may be different from what you expected, some times you may even get nothing

You are just starting out wait after a year where you cannot find a good project and projects you've promoted did not pay you well, I have my own long list of projects that did not pay me well and it took a year where I did not have one good project, that's where I decide to make a shift, I hope you can find good projects, because it's tiring and you'll lose a lot of motivation doing bounty after you become a victim of many scam projects.

Bounty hunting is more like a game, you won't know what the end will be and not trying at all will even make you sad if the project ends up paying good rewards to those that joined the campaign, it's why every bounty hunters must allow tolerance, the tolerance of whatever may come will bring failures but will always bring huge success too

Bounty hunting is a nice alternative way not only to earn some money but also to get to know about how how things are going on crypto world.
About the experience you can get mixed response, some reputed bounty managers you can trust and sometimes you can get left out. But you keep going .

not much different like you, I also often experience failure in promoting a project which in the end becomes a fraud and vice versa. but I realize that being a bounty hunter is not always lucky and that there are times when we can make a good income from a successful project and vice versa.

Hello Friend! Happy New Year! In 2018, almost all projects at ICO turned out to be a huge plus, so the company's bounty brought in a lot of income. Then merrit and trust were introduced, and projects began to go into negative territory. Now, I think bounty can again become a decent income and a good opportunity to promote projects. True, I have not yet watched how projects have recently come out, who has looked at ICO in plus or minus now they mainly enter the market?

it doesn't matter if you like Bounty. it's just that I suggest you never make Bounty your main job, make this a side job, don't depend on income from Bounty, at least you need to find work in the real world with passive income, so you need to know that scamers are around us and maybe you haven't realized it yet.
related to that, my personal experience in following a Bounty project was not always lucky. Who would have thought that some of the projects I promoted before were paid, some ended up being scam, some were delayed and without exception participating in bounty projects was very dependent on luck.

last 2016 and 2017 bounty was really profitable and most of the bounty really pays the participants. right now it's really a rare to find a bounty campaign that pays decent amount of reward to participants. that's why we shouldn't be surprised to see some users who have a lot of alt accounts participating to bounty campaigns.

Today, only those projects that started their development road in 2020 are working and entering the market, and only with a few exceptions there are projects from past years. As always, DeFi projects hold the lead among prospects and in terms of their performance.

We can't always out smart scam bounty projects everytime, some times you will promote a project thinking it's different and late it will turn scam, whenever such happens just take it as a lesson learned and try to avoid such mistake in future, scammers are so smart that they always come up with different ideas, it's why bounty hunting is suited for part time only

When I came into crypto world I couldn't tell the difference between a scam project and a real project because I don't just know how to do research but after project few projects and gotten the good and bad results my eye became more clearer, there is more to gain when promoting new projects, the deep exposure is present

Do not be worried that you may have hard time figuring out which are real and which are scam, because not only newbies but even veterans of this space ends up not realizing which one is which, sometimes you could spend years in crypto and still fall victim to a scam.

The reason for this is that humanity both have greed and also emotions that has burdened us for decades, we have been working for others and hated our work for so long that we want to get out but financially we can't so the hate towards our work, hate towards poverty and hate towards lack of freedom grows more and more which causes us to maybe a bit greedy but in reality just let go and be free.

This means even though we may fear something could be a scam, we end up being blind to bad sides of it because we want it to be real so badly in order to finally be free, and that is where we end up not really realizing the shortfalls of the projects.

Most of the projects I supported this year are dust when they hit the exchange.
Yeah, they are not scams because I try to go deep in researching how legit the team behind it.
But, success will always be the problem.

A high percentage will end up garbage because investors will just suddenly sell all the coins or they find a new one to support.
Something with a better feature.

There is always more to learn as a bounty hunter, if you start your journey with success do not be fooled, there will be time when you will make the wrong choices because some projects will look good on the outside but on the inside they have their own plans

That's the spirit of a real bounty hunter. Keep going despite all the failures that you might face because bounty hunting isn't always rewarding and fruitful. We should always expect the possible worst scenario as we join bounty projects and just continue grinding in case we encounter projects that don't pay off our efforts. Failure is always a part of this field but it could teach us lots of lessons that would be beneficial to us in the end.

So far I have had quite a bad experience with the Altcoins bounty case, but I think some people also have bad experiences especially about getting fraudulent projects or projects that don't pay after the project we are promoting is a huge success in the market.

I have tried in 2017 to be bounty hunter and still do not leave such an opportunity to participate in interesting projects. In 2017 it was a real boom on enormous bounty campaigns. Of course I was not too much experienced and also faced scam projects, but after some years of participating I have became more selectivity and do not rush into everything I see, but participate in projects that has a good idea, working product, strong really working team and so on. I like promoting good projects or perspective ones. Of course it is pleasant to get rewards for this. But mostly I like the thought that I can help somehow good teams and good ideas to develop.

Responsible developers of Bounty companies monitor the reputation and control the quality of posting. Why newcomers can't get in there and created a buzz that all the bounty of the company is scam. Although there are many real examples when people made good money on the Bounty and were able to get rich

we need to be more selective to follow any bounty campaign my friend
because its hard to find a good bounty campaign, in simple words, choose a bouty campaign is just like if we want to invest our money in a new cryptocurrency project

That is the real talk in bounty hunting. We can expect that everything will run smoothly and obtain what we see's from any bounty promotion. This kind of job gives us nothing assurance and since before the situation had never changed in fact, it is getting worse as the issue has been rising due to a lot of project failure causes for project developers aren't able to pay their participants.

There are many joys and sorrows of being bounties hunters. But actually a lot of grief is experienced by bounties hunters, because most bounty
hunters are not paid according to what they have done. But we must not give up on being bounty hunters, because my principle is that as long
as we try to give our best then luck will eventually come to us.

So whatever the obstacles faced by bounty hunters so far, just face it, because surely hard work will give good results. Although I also don't know
when bounty hunters will be able to get the big pay back like in 2017/2018, but I believe history will repeat itself and one day bounty hunters will
get paid big again. The key is to be patient.

The experience as a bounty hunter is indeed very difficult, because there are many risks that must be accepted, especially the risk is a waste of time, yes, even though it is still a threat, as a hunter, of course we have to understand it, lest it make us despair.

That's the only way to go, there's a lot of bounty campaign right now because a lot fo new projects coming in, you never know if one of this is a project that turns out to be good, quitter never wins, just pick the right proejct to invest that you think will have potential in the market and follow the proejct that you are promoting if there are bad reports.

not only you. almost everyone have experienced same thing. but there are some bounties which actually paying. so that is why people here keep doing that and new bounties keep coming. some of them scam again and some of them pay the users. that's how everyone managing and maintaining themselves in this bounty program.

I've participated in 5 bounties so far and got no payment from any of them yet. at least 1 was a confirm scam and others are still delaying payments. I hope I'll receive at least one payment so the time I am putting into it won't be wasted.

Wasting time is the only risk bounty hunter experience. What other risks bounty hunters might have? Risk of being scammed if project asks to send some funds for distribution fee? Bounty hunters must be stupid to pay employer to get paid back for work done.

I might consider "install our app/wallet to participate in bounty" as a risk. But this is basics of safety in the Internet. I've seen people copy/pasting private keys instead of ERC20 address while filling google forms for bounty. Well, you dont have to be a bounty hunter to have troubles with such kind of things.

As an old bounty hunter and both promote legit and non-legit projects out of ignorance, I did experience some bad sides of being a bounty hunter but at the end of the Day, I earned lots of money from promoting those legit ones when I was a bounty hunter. If you won't stop doing such a thing, you will learn the difference between fake and legit bounties and there will come a time that you will gonna choose the legit one and that's what happened to me. with the money I earned, I bought an agricultural lot and lots of Nike shoes and many other things. All of that from bounty earnings.

although now being a bounty hunter is not as comfortable as it used to be but still it's always fun especially if the project that has been promoted becomes a large and growing project so that it gives us pride, especially myself, I think now this scam project is an obstacle what we must face together so that every bounty hunter, both old and new, is not trapped in the project and one solution of them is by sharing information in this forum.

Most people's experiences as Bounty Hunters are bitter. But I don't look down on Bounty Hunting. I think bounty hunting is the only way to make some money at zero capital.  Although most bounties do not pay the hunters. However, some bounties are also making good payments, such as Juicy Fields, YOUengine.  Payment is available from some of the bounties that are being successful.

My experience as a bounty hunter are varied. But all I can say is that the good times happened between 2016 to first quarter of 2018. Afterwards it was hard to get projects that would pay a good amount of crypto. Many of the old times switched from alts to joining projects that pay in satoshi, so at least it will help them save some bitcoins. Anyway there are many strategies that people do nowadays and I am not familiar with most but I think most of the bounties now are outside the forum so good luck to all of us who still do bounties. Good times will arrive soon.

Yep, that's why I'm trying to go back to being a bounty hunter because I want to try again. And also I don't expect to get a big payout like the golden year 2017, but I'm trying to find a campaign that I think is suitable and will pay the participants.
