Bitcoin Forum

Recently it's been happening that almost every bounty keeps on extending with some even going into 6 months - 1year. It's very bad for a bounty worker because some projects even end up being scam. Anyways I think it is somehow good as well since some people have been cheating in bounties a lot.
If bounties keep on extending, cheaters will keep on working for wrong bounties for a long time and new hunters will also have the chance to join. This is because some bounties have so many participants and so we need to spread ourselves so that we can all equally earn. Also, the recent forum rules will help in taking care of so many cheaters or multiple people joining the same bounty.

Nevertheless i still stand by the point that bounty extensions are very bad.

I think your concern should not be only about cheaters, the bounty managers know how to fish them out, the general market condition is doing no one any good, both cheaters and non cheaters alike, reason why the extensions and so many canceled and exited projects. In like manner, periods as this is when to know real faithfuls, a lot may get discouraged and quit while the faithful will keep digging

Without a doubt, the increase in the timing of the bounty campaign is not to the liking of the bounty hunters. I think this is due to the situation in the crypto currency market. Developers have to take such steps because of small fees.

We have a tough ico market right now, with less investors than before, and it is more difficult to raise funding in that conditions. Bounty hunters are affected too as the projects are. We have definitely seen better times.

I guess we already have related topic on the forum which also discuss something similar to this.

of course it does not like the participants of the company generosity, it is alarming, but not always such projects are scams, just did not attract the number of investors, which should therefore continue.

It always upsets me, I'm waiting for one and it turns out that all this is delayed, I once participated 4 months in the company and in the end it was a fraudulent project.

Extending of bounty campaigns is mostly stemmed from ICOs not reaching their hard cap. As a bounty hunter, this is good and bad at the same time. Good as you have a shot at getting more stakes and tokens, bad because you are stuck with the project when you should ordinarily move on to the next project.

The recent change in the for ranking of accounts is to know whether new members are really serious in the forum posting work space as before the rewards was too big for the almost none effort job that some members do. That is why right now for a member to be really utilize the forum they would need to earn respect from other members by the way they deliver their thinking with is a good way to know if they are serious.

Also for the extension of the bounties we should always remember that all ICO is dependent on the sale of their coins / tokens that is why some of them are extending their token sale which they need to either reach the minimum requirement or even add more to that, we just need to see it in a marketing point of view before we judge.

Bad practice.
Especially for signature campaign. Just had the same ApolloX extended campaign for 2 (ok, just 2) weeks.
Without any bigger bounty pool and any other bonus.
Not good :(

I don't think Bounty Extension is a sweet thing, it is always bitter to the bounty hunters. Bounty hunters always pray for the ICO success early. Because If ICO makes success early then bounty hunters will get bounty rewards early! So, Bounty extension is not good for the hunters. And, Cheater always will do cheating! And Not some, Rather maximum bounty campaign has a lot of participants, that's why we don't get good payments anymore.

Some bounty program are now having an extension because some projects are not raising enough money within the ICO date. And the ICO will also have an extension along with the bounty program. With the current price of eth, ICO's are having a tough time raising enough funds.

Reality is that many ico has problems to rise even minimum funds
Usually there is some limits of participants
On other hands longer ico period bigger rewards will be
So point is to find really good ico what have real and good devs and what coins will be traded on major exchanges fast
Biggest problem now for all crypto is liquidity

Depending on the bounty should dictate how people participate.  So if it is an ICO claim and they don't even have a main net or actual coins other than eth tokens people should be really careful.  With eth token payments, people need to be sure there is liquidity right now during a bounty or else the ICO can just flop at the end of the bounty and participants are left with wasted time and effort.  But there are other options too.

Regular POW or POS coins that have liquidity now may be an option to assure you don't get burned.  Of course, I don't want it to sound like I'm advocating for just dumping bounty rewards on the market either.  People need to do what is right for them and sometimes that means selling some or all of the asset but that may also be regretful later on if the value of the asset goes up.

The saddest thing is that the earnings of the bounty hunters from the renewal of the bounty of companies do not increase.

For 5-6 months you can get no more than $ 20. After all, the token drops by 90% after entering the crypto exchange

Even if the bounty extends and adds money to the bounty pool, I do not really like it either. It made me realize that the project was not good so there was a lack of investors so they had to expand the bounty

Bounties usually have the stake system, and if the campaign is extended, the sum of tokens per one stake decreases. It is no good for bounty hunters and managers, but good for the developers.

Well until i read this i esa Happy about one if my bounties extensión . Now un worried because It could be the proyect did nota go Well just like one manera helixhills i participated for half a year And they end It without notice anyone. Until this date de dont know nothing about the proyect Me the Telegram Channel os abandoned so surely nothing good its goin yo come from there

Bounty extension isnt ideal for everyone especially in siganture campaigns which the more you stay the less you will get because only those high ranks will gain more in a longer campaign.This can only be resolved if and only if these campaign managers are going to limit the number of participants so the hunters are going to get what they have worked for.

In this respect I like the bounty campaign, which ends before the start of tokensale. Then, in the case of a successful ICO , the reward will be given to those who actually studied the project, believed in it and worked. And not those who flew into the campaign, when it became obvious that the project is good fundraising and advertising in principle it is no longer needed.

This is not surprising, the price of bitcoin and ether slid down. The price fell almost three to four times the price when the project was just formed. I believe that the long term will bring fraudsters and dishonest investors to clean water.

The projects extend their bounty campaigns in the hope that the market will recover, it is very funny to watch those ICO’s that have postponed their bounty companies since last spring on this autumn, and things got worse.

I think Apollox Signature campaign is still good. Their bounty pool is 600K USD, and it is a very fair bounty budget to run a campaign for 3 months in this bear situation. Many bounty campaigns have 240-250K USD and they are running bounty campaigns for more than 4 months! But Apollox will end after 10 weeks. So, I think this is still fair enough. Don't you?

I didn't bother with Apollox because there are so many decentralised ecommerce platforms there is no way that all of them will succeed. Others have already got a year of development ahead of them so there is a risk of getting worthless tokens at the end of the campaign.

In my own opinion, extending bounty is not so good for bounty hunters. Its makes the low ranked accounts to earn so little for much work. I stand to say that extending bounty is not good

The saddest thing about the current bounty campaigns, not even the extension, and the presence of a large number of bots, multyaccounting, shitposting. And most managers don't care about the quality of posts in the signature, this affects the forum, as to find in this garbage really worthwhile information has become extremely difficult.

You have a point as well, and that's why many people are calling for the use of the tier system in bounties. It gives room for hard workers to earn better than those who rushed in at the very end. Nevertheless, that shouldn't be a problen from my perspective because I have realized that the stake system takes care of that. There's no way someone you have the same credentials with (rank, followers, etc) can earn more than you if you registered before the person. Then it means you probably didn't work..

Not all. You are just concluding it by your own according to your selfish need.
Look, not all of them are extending just because they want to.
Some of them cannot hit the soft cap and are trying to pull more investors just so to hit it.
It is a win win situation for the bounty hunter instead of getting zero when they file as bankrupt and you get nothing.

Most of the time, bounty extension is always bitter because those ICO projects do not increase the bounty pool even if they extend the bounty.

in any case, the results of the work of Bounty Hunters directly depend on the well-developed project. If the project needs an extension of the Bounty campaign of full fundraising from investors, then as a result, Bounty participants will not only earn, but also have high liquidity coins.

There are excellent projects, but unfortunately they stumble to the minimum
This is the case of the market and I think projects owners want to finish quickly Thus ending the bounty campaign ,

All in one boat

Its happening since few months ago, they keep on extending the bounty program, the longer the time span,  the shorter the value, and i remember one of the project that extended for few months, and at the end, the value of my token received was above 1usd. This is an absolute abuse to the honestly, and i dont like this. I am more selective when it comes to project promotion.

If it takes 6 or more months , it is just not worth it. Bounties always are a risk , this means that you have to manage your risks.
Also there is a solution for this problem, look for bounties who allow to leave it before the ICO ends, this means that you will have the option to leave for better campaign or minimize the risk of the current project being unsucceseful for some reason.

That doesn’t seem sweet to me, I don’t really like it. What of those who are working genuinely and just wants to earn income, what if they mistakenly choose the wrong ICO (scam) and after working very hard on it for that six months or one year and they end up realizing it’s a scam? So this is very bad, despite I know that it has its advantages, but I still don’t like it.

I get the feeling. I understand that a lot of us bounty hunters get frustrated when the time duration for bounty programs get extended, but usually, the rewards are also increased. So in a way, even with the extra work, you will be getting a few more earnings. These bounties are usually extended when there are more to be achieved.
