How many of you bounty hunters are actually making up to 500$ per project after months of promoting the bounty project this year? I heard that those who make thousands of $$$$ in 2017/ early 2018 are fortunate because of the bullrun ,so thus that means if no bullrun all bounties won't bring huge profits???

Let's talk about bounties that are not looking for funds like ICO and IEO ,they are always better and you don't need to wait forever to get your tokens,I like promoting already listed coins or tokens ,it's gives better rest of mind

Bounties is already a dead concept, it just doesn't have the same effect anymore. Could come back though in another high bull run and opportunities in the market, it is all about timing and right now its deft not the time.

Truth to be told, bounties cannot be relied as a source of income. Gone were the days that bounties were generating profits. Bounties are recently not profitable again.

Even those who received thousands of dollars in bounties in 2017 and kept holding even their holdings are now in massive decline like 10x or more down so the real winners seem to be the sellers who sold during bull run and now we do not know when those levels will reach. So yes bounties is not a reliable or stable source of income.

not all bounties because some bounties still provide benefits to participants, one of which is harmony. and for projects that do not have ICO or the like, not all provide benefits because some time ago I saw one project without ico but failed was daxico

Calm down dudes, get a life and practice bounties only like a hobby... If it happens to make you earn fresh money, then it will be nice... If not, then ... it will be okay anyway  ;D

Some people are waiting too much from bounties (from crypto i shoud say). My humble advice is to use cryptos as a b plan... ;)

if you wanted a legit one join a bounty which having a token/coin sale on exchanges launchpad. It is really few, but at least you will have less worry if it's worth as value or getting paid.

Example project such as Harmony (End), Xcrypt (End), Migranet (Ongoing), and etc. Just simply use keywords "IEO" on every pages of bounty alt sub- boards

Time has run out of these scam projects and it was a cash cow for many to simply pump and dump those coins and it was a huge market here in the forum where these projects offers fancy give away and perks to join their campaign so that they will get the funds what they were looking for and when they get the money majority of them usually run away with and the rest pumped the coins and simply dumped everything and left the projects, it is unfortunate that these scams took place in the market and now it will be hard to gain the trust back as everyone had their hard lessons in the market.

if you really wants to earn big in bounty hunting, you need to work hard and hard. i mean harder than ever. i suggest you go for the hardest tasks if you can. make the best out of it and you will be surpise how much you will make. make videos, write articles on bounties, wear signatures, design graphics. these tasks pays more than ordinary facebook and twitter bounties.

Scammers abused their luck, in 2017 everyone was looking for a fast way to multiply their coins and they invested in all kind of useless projects, after they lost their money people have been very wary of icos and now bounty campaigns have lost most of its effectiveness, now they are trying another approach with ieos but they will fail as well as the community is not as naive as it was in the past and investors prefer to keep their bitcoin even if the profits are not as good as they we are back then.

That is a true saying though, those who experienced that bull run during that time really enjoyed. Bounties off late are not paying and you can go through promoting a project for close to four months and still won't even get up to $100 from it but that does not mean without any bull run again one cannot benefit from bounties. You can by researching and selecting the best projects that are already trading and have products as well. Enjoy hunting.

The reality is not all bounty hunter will earn that amount after the end of campaign because most ico project are turning to scam or run after the end of the sale most bounty hunter are experienced this kind of situation even when market are in bull situation you cannot guaranty you will earn money by doing bounty.

There is a bounty because the project requires promotion and usually new projects do it. I know if promoting an existing project in exchange guarantees that you will get money, but as far as I know, the existing projects in exchange for bounty allocations are small.

Yes, it's better if you want to bounty with paid coins in exchange, follow the signature campaign in the subtopic service (http://"https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0"), there are several projects with BTC fees.

The glory days of bounty huntings was 2017, but it is still alive these days. You just need to find great bounties, of course accompanied with luck. Most likely those full time bounty hunters in 2017 are currently trading these days. Bounty hunting should only be treated as secondary source of income, not primary source.

right. Now, the bounty hunter earns $ 500 for a difficult campaign. I do a lot of projects but only earn $ 10 for each project.

2017 was a different time. People were buying anything named coin or token or ICO. There were free money everywhere for the projects, so they generously shared it with the participants or say the useless tokens were givern a high value which yielded more for bounty participants. But as the crypto bubble brust and investors lost a huge amount, people have been selective and positively cautious when it comes about investing in an ICO.

Even doing the hardest tasks do not guarantee a big payment income. The problem is not about the difficulty of the tasks. The problem lies in the ico campaigns itself. If the ico won't succeed, no matter how difficult your task is, you'll still end up not being paid.

No doubt the year 2017 and 2018 first Quarter was best for bounty hunters and every hunter make handsome profit from bounty rewards but after 2018 Q2 almost all traders and bounty hunters are suffering due to long long bearish season and almost 90% ICO were failed due to no interest by investors and that become the main reason through which all bounty hunters are still suffering

2017 is now the past. Things changed.

There are campaigns that pay BTC, thats where you should go if you wanna earn week after week. ICO and IEOs doesn't give you weekly income you know that.
The truth to bounty campaign manager too is that most of them expect to be paid in BTC but there were no other option too but to rely to the team's token and wait till its project is developed well and listed on big exchanges.

The most bitter part is that we bounty hunters now only earn about 20$ to 50$ in a 3 months bounty duration, this was actually the truth and this is possible because the tokens are continouosly decreasing right after being listed on some exchange.

Bitter than receiving nothing at all? there's projects since 2018 and still not being listed and the team keeps giving promises or worst not giving any updates, if you are part of that campaign tokens will stuck without any use and will keeps reminding you about that project.

It is true that such bullrun as 2017 has not been experienced in recent times, by one actually has to go the extra length to be able to get the huge cash one desires. And that includes making videos, designing graphics, wearing signatures and so on. One just need to be hardworking to be able to put all these th in in place. It I not a lazy man's job

I initially believed that when the market recovers then the profits from the bounty companies will be good
the market went up but no changes whatsoever
I think it makes no sense to do bounty

There are some bounty that has their coin/token already listed in exchange like Veil and Eterbase, more preferable to promote these coins than  ICO's where you have to wait for 3 to 7 months and sometimes a year before their token get listed in exchange, 2019 is such a bad year for bounty hunters there's no good project with profitability in the market.

It is not guarentee also to promote existed coin, I often see the existed coin on the exchange ran bounty campaign but the bounty just ran in a few week just because the coin has no change in a price side. So, it depend on the coin/token itself, I have taken part with signature campaign who paid it with existed token i.e IOST. If I'm not mistaken the signature campaign ran in two months and greatfully the signature campaign gave a big effect on the token price. Its price has met increased price until 50% at that time and I was gained a lot of profit. But now I never found the signature campaign who paid with the existed token and give a good effect for its increased price.

Yup. its not as easy for the so called ICOs to scam people now. Investors have became aware of the situation. Though legit ICO should not be frowned upon, we should all stop promoting any suspicious ICOs.
That's why I've opted for bounties that pays in bitcoin. Though the payments may seem small, it's better than a thousand bucks promised after a year.
There's one slot left for each member, full member, senior member and hero/legendary in bitvest campaign.

I guess no one now is able to make $100 per month from bounty. The last successful bounty was harmony IEO backed by Binance and people got some handful payment from this. Other than this, I can't remember a good one in the last couple of months.

It's true that bounties that do not require the helps of funds from the general public turn to fairly better than the ones with all the decorated hypes

the difference is now with 2017 so far ... because my personal experience is also paid from gifts to thousands of dollars ... but for 2019 this has dropped very far compared to last year 2017 ... because now I can only get hundreds of dollars and even tens of dollars every campaign project that I follow ... hopefully in the future the altcoin price will get better ...

I have little experience in various bounty campaigns. But from my experience, now is not the time to earn hundreds and thousands of dollars in various projects. At least I did not have this. Rather, the payouts turn out to be much less than promised. Many projects allocate huge stakes for bounty hunters, but usually they pay ten times less, or pay nothing at all. Although already functioning projects pay a little, but it is almost guaranteed payments.

Bounty ico wont be possible without croudfunding or collecting fund from the public  but there are campaigns that dont ask for money though they arent called bounties because they dont came from an ico but they are iether gambling business , mixing service and others that only wants to promote and they will pay btc or any other top cryptos  . hype bounties are still better and not all are bad .

The truth is bounties are more profitable in 2017 compare today but if you find a right bounty like i did which is harmony then you can easily get a $500 worth of payment. However the delay of payment is still prevailing, locked up for 3 months to 6 months is way too long well that's how it goes and can't do anything about it.

I miss those days I made 1 to 3 Bitcoin in only 3 to 4 months of the signature bounty campaign, but now in 2019 you can hardly make $100 the last one I'm in was Icechain and after 2 months I only made$ 40, see the huge difference, I stopped doing ICO signature bounty anymore there's no guaranty that you will make a profit anymore because of the very long time for token to get listed.

This year it's difficult to find a good project that you can make $500 or even $200, unlike 2017 we can make thousands of dollars because of the bull run, but it's ok at least we can make money of it and this is not my source of income. I agree that it is better to promote that already listed coins they are surely paying than promoting ICO which we do not know if this is successful or not and some scam project.

The truth is that the bounty is always depend on the market condition. If we are going to take a look at the price of bitcoin last 2017 the bitcoin is really rising that time and i earn on it same with the bounty hunting. We need to be more patience because we need to wait for for the market to stabilized for good.

I think bounty participation this time is not good as last couple of years was. Because during those times bounty hunters makes much profit by their rewards, unlike now even you join in a 3 months to 6 months bounty campaign still you would end up earning only a little of bucks. But the most bitter part of joining bounties is that you have joined in a campaign that its token never gonna listed on an exchange.

Then those projects are total shit and people must be stay out of those. If a project is good, you will even be able to get a passive amount during the bearish season, check the harmony reward and have an idea.

there are still hunters who makes $500 and more from bounties. You seems to be new on this bounties issue reasons why you speculate wrongly. Depending on the project exactly, you can make up to $1000 from a bounty

Me as Senior Member , i just do Signature Campaigns and i never got 500$ value of tokens as i always do the ones that Cut the bounty pool at end =D But anyway i just hold them and see where it will go in future . As ICO's are Dying bounties follow same path . I really try to do promising projects to get signature tokens and probably invest some . Signature campaign for me is like Bonus tokens on top of investment :)

I would say, what you are saying might still be happening. But it is like finding a needle in a haystack for a project giving you several $s at the end of the campaign. Most are just few dollars when you are able to exchange it. Because most of the time, by the time you received your share, the price greatly went down already. That is, you will receive your tokens or coins after months and months of waiting.

The idea is not bad. It will be always better to promote the tokens already listed on exchanges, and there will be no risk as well. But there is another fact that stake allocation by already listed coins is a small amount and the participants are higher in number. As a result, there is a meager amount of token allocation under bounty campaigns.

Its really a Shame that bounties reward are on par with airdrops, imagine getting 10$ from promoting a bounty project when airdrops do better than that, its better to good very few good bounties than to join many shit bounties

It's a good idea to join bounties because many legit bounties are showing up and there is a bunch of scam bounty but now it's hard to find a bounty that can be included because of the size of the risky bounty as it is today.

Yep 2018-19 isn't a good year to bounty hunters, there isn't just ICO campaigns that is paying. Most of the campaigns turned out to be scam and worse of it is that they are all  projects with same concept but bounty hunters are promoting it like there is no other option.  I can name bout 5 campaigns where the team already gone. This is why Bounty Managers should also be tagged if they make mistake, they should check the backgrounds of the team and if it ain't enough to see they are credible, they should turn them down.

this is what you think, your own opinion and not what you know. No hunter tells you what he earned from a particular bounty, maybe you don't earn much and even if you do already listed bounties, you still face the same issues.

At this state in which initial coin offering finds its self not even in a bull run can anyone make something tangible out of bounty. The bitter truth needs to be told it's almost time that the curtain would be drawn on ico bounty campaign even great ico bounty managers seldom advertise new project

everything becomes easy, don't think too hard. project analysis, if it's good then we do gambling by registering the campaign. if you are lucky, you will get results, but if you are not lucky, you must be patient, and look for other bounties.

Bounty hunting now is barely worthwhile. You'd be lucky if you promoted a coin that got listed, in fact you're lucky if you even get your coins. IEOs are much better

If we talk about 2017-2018, I am sure that many bounty hunters can make thousand of dollars from the bounty campaign and they can buy many things they want. But this year, I think it's hard to make money from the bounty campaign because the situations changed and it's not the same as before. But many bounty hunters still join in many projects because they want to get the tokens by free and they still hope that the bounty campaign can rises again as before.

some yes some not, if you get good project you will earn money, if not you will get less money, or not get paid.
I have to admit that the prize has decreased, for 1 project succesful go in market average money i get is 20-50$.

$500 / project, AFAIK paid ago in making articles on a large product is almost $500 or more. I did not follow that and I'm not a hunter who is an expert in bounty just looking around, I also never get earned the equivalent of $500 is difficult now cause there are many shit token bad project etc.

Your correct indeed, last year of 2017 and 2018 bounty are more profitable because of great bull run. All can have a best shot in previous year but now its all rekt ICO that reached their soft cap or hard cap is the only project that survive in this bear market.

Thats why doing bounty for now is not recommendable because of many ICOs exit as scam and all your effort and time will be lost.

The period of bounties paying out thousands of dollars to each participants are gone and it should be forgotten however the pain would not have been much if all the current projects that offers bounties do their best to pay up to $500 to the lowest participants but we still have projects that pays $20 to the highest participants.

I think every bounty campaign should also post the minimum and maximum reward a hunter can earn from a campaign for example if i am participating in lets say signature campaign for full weeks i should know expected payout from start, ideally number of participants per campaign should also be limited because unlimited participants can dilute the rewards, so yes bounty campaigns need more transparency and clear rules that should favor hunters.

Currently bounty hunting doesn't pay much like it used to in the past. I doubt any hunter can make more than $200 or even $100 after promoting a project for a long time. Currently the projects that are good are those already listed.

this is not a bullrun problem but now many of them do not pay participants or tokens are not valuable when listing. most of them just pump and dump and then leave after carrying a lot of investor money

Certainly it will be difficult to earn huge, a lot of Bounty hunters now depend on receive and hold and wait for a bull run, a lot of coins will do well as the bull run continues, one may worth $10 now and in few months time will worth so much, my advise to hunters is do not be quick to dump especially if the project is good and you received a lot of coins at a lower value

Those bounties or projects are already big so they don't need an ICO in order to gain funds to make their project be successful to introduce on the market but there are some teams building a project that has a potential in the future but lack of funds that's why they're offering an ICO which they give some of the coin/share to the users at early stage in order for them to allocate funds to continue their project.

What you are saying is correct bounties on 2017 are very fruitful because of the Bullrun and the hype but most of those bounties now turned scam only a few legit projects remains and survives. The ICO was damage by scammers and fraud that's the reason why even legit projects fail on their ICO not even reaching softcap. Good projects are still there you just need to find them, Do your own research. More active projects participating in blockchain conferences with some photos, videos have a lesser chance to be a scam, unique and genuine whitepaper. Projects with IEO is not guaranteed but if it is on Binance launchpad it has a high chance that you will earn a decent amount. Also, check the bounty allocation if it is worth it.

this is true, but at any moment the situation may change, and those who had $ 50 in the account will receive a profit of x20, this is a cryptocurrency

That was the popular stories coming from all my friends who are involved in bounty hunting way back 2017, but I guess I am two years late on that I am new in bounty hunting and so far all the  coins that I've received do not have value in the market, I don't know if it's worth continuing but I'm hoping that all of these coins will soon have value.

that's right, they provide investor tokens and bounty hunters to avoid accusations of scammers. and they can freely enjoy investor money without fear that their names will be included in the list of scammers.

The sad truth spreading around cryptomarket, but we should not just wait for a good project to come we have to start working because bounty hunter is not the only thing to make money. I'm learning trading now because I know bounties are not forever and if you just depend on that then you will remain poor. If you want to succeed try to maximize the market, learn to trade, learn to hold good coins and learn to buy at the dipped.

What I remember with those testimonies that were shared in the forum by bounty hunters, they made well during 2017. It's the era of ICO and most of the bounties did became pretty successful with all of their projects and promotion. By 2nd quarter up to the last quarter of 2018, most of the projects became slow in pace and most investors don't want to invest on it so there's few sales for most ICO held by that year.

In the 2017/2018 bull run, many people got a lot of $$ from bounty because the coin/token that they got is keep going up but now is this kind of market, when you bounty coin release the coin just went down because bounty hunters just keep dumping it.

I haven't gotten as long as an active bounty hunter. It's just that I just joined my friends. I was also interested in supporting a project that was clear when the last campaign got tokens. But at the moment I'm worried about the end of the project that I am asking for is a scam.

Most bounties are just out to see how their project can be promoted and see attract investors they will swindle their money and still complain about. I did Rentoo bounty, but afterward they were asking for government ID card and bank statement of account as a KYC whereas there was no KYC at the start, I just ignored them meaning am not getting reward. I am 100% sure the project will scam.

I really want to believe that this may be true, although the last year gives us few such hopes. But if you look at the whole history of the development of cryptocurrency, then we will see that everything is cyclical, and this means that there must still be big ups.

The sad reality and almost all bounty hunters are crying for it, having a pity rewards from a month or two will so disappointing and I've experience it before. Those early bounty hunters have its great days before but everything has change and mostly ICO's nowadays are becoming shit projects. It is a big opposite of what they've experience before and even investors suffer huge losses than of making profits.

In my opinion, in the world of cryptocurrency, we must experience bitter and sweet. not always we bring great profits in the hunt for prizes. especially with the current conditions it is difficult to get a large income from prizes.

To me I don't think the  current condition should affect the reward share to bounty  since the ICO cap is reached (soft and hard cap). The ICOs should just try and pay the hunters well for their effort on promoting the project,  t will call for effective works.

Never join bounty wirh the aim of making it a lifetime source of earning, see it is a leisure and add a little optimism with and you will never be disappointed, it is a game of chance and luck, may be difficult to earn fortunes through it now but sooner or later a lucky one may emerge and one will be happy about it

If we are to promote coins/tokens already listed in exchange then the pay expected to be low and there might be a possibility that once bounties will be given, that particular token/coin price will drop due to dumping of bounty hunters, that is one disadvantage i see.

exactly. I'm really frustrated when working on some projects in 2018. you know, the market goes down and everything seems to collapse. Potential projects lack of money to develop projects, money fees are more expensive and investors leave quite a lot. I have worked continuously for 6 months but did not receive any money from the projects.
but the IEO changed everything, I hope to get some tokens quickly and as promised.

I think we don't need just look if the project is listed because if the project is unique and have potential even if it's long to wait you will earn a good reward. Before many bounties give a good rewards because every project is good but now I feel it's hard to find legit one.

This is a good idea. The problem is that there are too few listed coins doing bounty campaigns and even if you see one, the number of people that rush into the campaign are usually very many (including cheaters who use multiple accounts). At the end of the day, the rewards will be too small and almost inconsequential

I think this is back from your determination when trading and becoming a participant from the bounty campaign, when you want to be rich then you have to be able to work hard and as much as possible to be able to benefit every day, so you have to work hard and find as many bounty campaigns as possible to be able to become rich.

it's true that in 2017 it really happened. but now it is very difficult, investors have lost faith in ICO and projects no longer spend a large amount of tokens to pay bounty hunters. they are afraid after the distribution process, the price will be disastrous.

Bounty hunters are now moving to coins that are already listed, it saves you time and effort, I experienced promoting bounties for 4 months up  and all I got was $100 worth of tokens that's actually 10 times drop from what I'm receiving way back 2017, there are only a few projects now that deserves attention, most of the projects now are duplicate with a little enhancement.

Yeah, in 2017 ago many project which great and valuable, especially for we are bounty hunter. Many project reach the goal and hardcap from the ICO sale so the total marketcap in crypto is really big.

For sure 2017 was more profitable for doing bounties as 2018 and it does not surprise anyone, because during the whole 2018 the market was falling down and no project was even able to collect a soft cap, and I am not even speaking about great bounty rewards.

Since its much easier to conclude those bounties that already listed that's why hunters are supporting such projects, they knew that after
the project finished the campaigns and rewards has been distributed they will easily sell the rewards and go and find another.

hello mate! I was able to make 500usd in two projects I joined in and that's back in 2017 and early 2018. nowadays some projects don't even pay you your reward even after listing in a certain market. as far as I remember the first month I got engaged in cryptocurrency was for airdrops, a lot of it. and luckily made a small fortune from it. up until today I still got some coins or tokens from bounties and airdrops waiting for a bull. cheers!

Majority of the ICOs made on 2017 successfully hitting their hard cap and as well as others soft cap. And that affected positively the bounties that they have done to the forum and different social medias, it's the best years of bounty as well but I don't think that it will happen again.

how can some project with listed on market doing bounty campain.
OK sometimes i find that, but who need a promotional first is new project with ICO and IEO.
i think that is right, now bounty campain is not worth because market is in under price, just wait in bull run and all back to legit.

It can be said that 2017 until the beginning of 2018 is the best year for bounty hunters and I feel that. For this time bounty still best way to earn crypto depending on the project that you choose.

2017 is the best thing for bounty hunters with large profits in each project they follow, until now the bounty is still there but small profits and have to wait months to get it, but sometimes it's also a bounty and the price of the token is already listed at CMC.

Bounty companies still bring good profits, only in the event that you perform more complex tasks (translation, signature, articles, videos).  Projects need to be carefully selected and analyzed.

Yes, indeed, a year ago, for a bounty company, it was possible to get good money only for one job, but now to get good money you need to do a lot of work and this is not a guarantee that you will get something at all.

How far are you willing to hunt for good bounties? Many are joining not so good bounties for example I detect icocoinlab bounty is a scam and guess what ? 100s of bounty hunter are already promoting the project ,it means many bounty hunters don't bother to investigate projects before they join ,many are to be blamed for there rewards

you can't be always making 500$ a projects, even your stake/rewards reach that criteria, I mean sure you can have a 1000$ of said tokens, but as well you aware, we in a different market, back then almost everything pumped with just a reason, existing (and listed on exchange of course). Now it's hard to reach 500$/project if you bet on a new ICO, but if the project will pay in a top ten coinmarketcap cryptocurrency, I think you can begin to think to calculate your earning then.

Not really. Most of the time yes but there is a bounty which I've joined where I was able to have some profit. I guess I was just lucky that the project is really good and a lot of people invested on it. But that is just a proof that no bullrun =/= no profit in bounties. Project's performance is still important.

Bitter truth. Bounties used to be profitable but now, only the one with strong determination will survive. Will not even be able to feed you if you will just depend on your profit from it. Most of the time bounty hunters if not paid are being scammed or have participated in a wrong project.
Its not because of no bull run but somehow yes because most of the coins we get from bounties and being exchanged to bitcoin or ethereum and if the two do not have good value, our coins will not get good profit too.

I agree to your comment and a few of the replies to your comment, however from my point of view still bounty hunting is not dead.
Sure, at the moment it's not shining as gold as it used to be in 2017 and mid-2018, but still can earn some.
First, we should not do it as our primary job, second, we need to hold the coins or tokens received for long term to get real benefits. We can not judge how much we have received right after payment but after the complete development of the project.
The other side is that nowadays its very much difficult to identify a good genuine bounty. Of course, we can not participate in all, but in few, we must be lucky to some extent.
I also look at the bounty hunting as a part of learning all about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. By involvement in different technical projects, I always learn new things.
Overall, for me, it's still having a good prospectus.

If you are looking on a good project 500 USD is a small amount.
thjough if you will just join them with out any investigation then you are on the right track asking it.
remember knowledge and research is the base fundamentals and you should have it.

Nowadays there are a lot of bounty campaigns that are mostly scam campaigns.... They will never give reward to promoters, they change partecipation terms at the end for example (forcing kyc just to avoid paying). So you spend months promoting a project that starts without kyc obligation, and then just before the distribution you are forced to kyc. It's a shame.

Even in 2017 there where a few scam bounty campaigns, but there where also many good campaigns where the managers keep their promises to bounty hunters.

2017 is really one best time in bounty campaign and now because of lost of trust from investor there not much investor now who participate in ICO almost all ico and bounty campaign token price drop after hitting the exchange.

Every one knows bounties are not like they used to be. But still, they are not a complete waste of time.

If you are lucky enough you can still earn something.

Now it is not worth remembering 2017 - you will not return the situation that developed at that time. Now another time is more difficult and you need to look for other ways to earn money in the cryptoindustry and work harder.

I agree, in the bounty hunting task, there is a chance that you can hit a jackpot and gain huge reward.  Unlike 2017 that almost every project pays a good sum of money, the chance in todays bounty getting a good payment is quite slim.  But don't lose hope, probably the one we are participating now can give us a good reward.

It's the truth. Also played the role what the bounty has just appeared and it wasn't so many people. Besides, there were no scammers back then. Just people got at the right time and therefore were able to get a good profit.

It is clear that companies that do not need an ICO are always guaranteed to pay the bounty participants.But the problem is that such bounty programs are not so much and are usually limited to the number of participants.

The days for the free worthwhile tokens seem to have gone, there is less cash raised by projects and thus available to bounty hunters. Only quality works get some reasonable rewards such as those of market influencers

we all know here that the bounty that uses the ICO program is indeed limited to those who want to jump. because they sometimes have asked how many investors are plunging and how many are interested in bounty. so that all of them would run smoothly, it was indeed limited

People in 2016 were saying the same thing. That those who invested in cryptos in 2013 were lucky and made money but those who came in 2015 lost everything in the bear market. When you invest or put in work to promote a coin you never know how much money you'll be able to make. I don't like shitcoins and rarely invest in them but  I had some and sold early before the real pump came.

Maybe next year your coins will be worth some more and people will be calling you lucky that you came in 2019.

Most of us have a free time and we are watching movies and playing games instead of making some money. Even you get 1$ per hour, it is still more, than you earn by doing things mentioned before  ;D.

Almost everyone knows the reason why bounties failed so hard. After leaving the all time high levels it was not profitable to continue investing in the useless shitcoins, so everyone started to stop bounty campaigns. Bounties are like a lottery and I am afraid of wasting my time for getting nothing in return. Truth hurts but it looks like bounty campaigns came to the end.

Not all projects last year 2018 really gave profits... Just like what happened to us... We promoting more than 6 projects but none of them paid us what we are really deserved.. Beside of doing on bitcointalk campaign we also did an outside marketing through social media... But despite of all that after promoting they didnt paid us... Thats why we we're really upset... Its really hard to find nowadays projects that really worth it... So better do our own research first before doing it so no waste of time and efforts

Mostly yes, but there have been profitable bounties in recent months. Even Harmony's bounty is one of them. When we look at the spreadsheet, there are even those who earn more than $1500. A few months ago there was Xaup bounty that could be another example.

2017 is far different from this year. If bounty hunters way back then are making that huge amount, the scenario is far different now. Some projects and bountis are not profitable. That's the truth. There are some freelance job you may want to consider. Like writing an article, doing crypto youtube, making an art. Something like these will help you gain crypto coins not just in bounties.

it is true that when we join a bounty that does not seek funding in an ICO or IEO and is registered in exchange we will quickly get paid, but even so we will not necessarily get the right payment. I often join in such projects, and I am still disappointed. like CTU. the longer they experience bad things in exchange.

That's unfortunate mate. But I can see you join a good project Nupay is a good potential platform with known team also. Even the bounty is handled by one of the legit bounty manager. I guess its depend on how you choose a project for promotional right? But thats life some projects are really not worth it especially those who changed their scheme when the trading begins.

Nowadays bounties are not paying in time and many bounties give nothing to hunters after even six months works because their projects were not able to collect required funds and closed. Only 2017 was a golden year for bounty hunters.

Yes, we are seeing many bounties are not paying to the bounty hunters on time, some companies even taking more than 6 months for the payment. Some of them are not at all paying even they raised very good amount, yes, 2017 is very good year for bounty hunters with lot of good projects.

2017 is truly a big year for bounty. Later on things went out with a drastic fall of market which made even the bounties earned in 2017 go worth nothing. These days there were quite a few number of projects that were into continued development and keep users informed on the regular progress. These days investment based earning is possible than bounties.

This year I have not received more than $ 100 for any of the bounties. Many coins are worth nothing at all, and some bounties did not even send anything. The purse is a pile of garbage which simply prevents it.

I am believe people who join in bounties in 2017 earn good money because the token price rising at highest price. But after 2018, many bounty hunters dont get paid because the project are scam or the project not reaching the target, its a risk but and sad stories when we join in bounty campaign

I have also learnt that the best bounties are the ones that have no ICO or IEO attached... these bounties are hard to find, but usually, if the product is out and the coin already traded, the chances of getting scammed are much less... and potential value of your coins is high...
some of these bounties even pay monthly... and if the coin allows POS, it is a treasure...

For each direction there is a certain time. When the bounty just appeared, there were people who took part in it and were able to make good money on it. But times are changing and now the bounty does not look so promising. However, there are other ways to earn money. The most important thing is to have time to take part in the it at the very beginning of their development, because this is the best time.

or if the coin has dividends for holders of these tokens. As a rule, such coins are gaming projects or casinos. they are just as hard to find but possible

Now it is hard to do 500 bucks a month by doing bounties, but it is not impossible. You need to search for better campaigns that are not full filled with participants. Maybe you should try to take part not only in twitter and facebook campaigns :)

This is not the bitter truth this is just practical of how the bounties works,if there is not much investor to invest on the new crypto projects then how we can expect the amount is to be more profitable like ok it was in peak of cryptocurrencies. There is no stable income are are any range value of rewards are assured in bounties.

if we work on much campaign it could give us high possibility to reach.average reward from each maybe around $50 till $75 , and if we work in more than 20 campaign and in any bounty allocation i am sure we could achieved it.so dont ever give up with current condition.

that's right dude.most of bounty have more than 5 allocation .if we serious with bounty campaign and consider it as good job we will be mroe serious work on it.i am sure if we accumulate from all bounty pool, we will get much money.

Yes, already listed coins pays better, but rewards are often low.. but still that doesn't mean you shouldn't participate in non listed coins.. but guarantee of getting the value of those tokens from are almost zero

The golden time to participate in the bounty campaigns has already passed, but there are still good ICO with bounty campaigns. I still get good money, although this is not the same as in 2017.I have to participate in a lot of bounty campaigns, but it still makes sense.

In order for bounty hunters to collect more money this time is to wait til the price of the token fly high to the moon but you would have to wait for a long time for that. What I did this time is just convert them all to BTC and then trade BTC to coins that are preforming well with daily volume. You will have to learn trading now as its much difficult to profit on bounty campaigns.

promoting coin that already listed in market is good because we dont wait like we waiting for new project listed in market. There is a lot IEOs still doing bounty and i think this is good because its more legit and get listed in market soon after IEOs end.

I'm doing just that, I'm wearing a signature that is already in the market, I hope this trend continues instead of waiting for a coin to have value in the market that took 6 to a year of waiting ICO is in the sorry state now, but startups need funding because they cannot go for IEO without funds on their hands.

2017 is the best time to doing bounties.
After that there is a little bounties that paid.
I hope in the next year bounties will rise again.

Well the truth is that the bearish market really affected so much in the crypto space, not leaving out bounties. As a result of this, bounties should be seen as an additional source of income but this can only be when you do your research before taking part in bounties, some bounty allocations are not worth the time. Sometimes the trading bounties are worst off because of the crowd that take part in it as compared to the allocation.
In all, bounty is fun when you join the right one.

annddd, it based on your own destiny too...trying your luck with bounty job. seeing the hype of some project, make a few research withou knowing every detail of it. im sick with the number of bounty who work their task without any knowledge to what they promoted. i think bounty job rules must be tightened, the quality of bounty hunters effort will increase too...sometimes forum rank didnt determine how good someone in promoting the project.

Unfortunately I have not got such projects that are worth investing and campaigning. So far I have not made more than $ 500 from  over a dozen projects I have participated. The truth is that those bounty hunters who participated in bounty campaigns in 2017 and 2018, they were very much lucky as the market saw golden days. But the market is down at present. So are new projects.

In my opinion it depends on luck for any bounty hunter to make 500$ from every project even If you receive already listed coin still very rare projects can give you 500$ worth coins for bounty campaigns unless you participate in all campaigns of a project. But its always better to take part in those projects that already listed their coin on exchange and that way we can be sure we will receive reward but such bounties are very less.

In the beginning of 2018 and in 2017, it was even possible to get several thousand from one bounty company, and now it will be an incredible success to get at least 500$-1000$ from 50 bounty companies somewhere, because too much scam and almost all tokens are trading for pennies, there are very few received tokens from bounty companies that are trading at good prices.

I am sure that many are still engaged in bounty, it's like a hobby, in my spare time to advertise a project that I like, of course there are hunters are not quite honest about it, a lot of accounts, bots are used or something like that, but if without fanaticism I like to do it.

I'm sure that you guys have experience doing bounty for months and when you are very lucky that you got paid then you check the value of your tokens, it's only $10-$20 in total. It is so heartbreaking to witness that kind of moment. And now I realized that maybe I'll try investing in IEOs and stop bounty hunting because it's the only thing that can make me profit again.

As sad as it sounds but its the truth. The golden days of bounty hunting are done. Hopefully the next golden days will come no one knows really when. Also the whole market are down and it affects the bounty really bad. Lets just wait for the market to recover and then let see what will happen to us bounty hunters.

The truth is it won't be easy to make 500$ from a single bounty campaign now ,you have to be willing to do multiple campaigns to earn up to that amount ,bounty hunters of 2017 are the most lucky ones till date

That’s right, bounty campaigns especially in 2018 and 2019 wasn’t profitable until now. But still there are still some campaigns that you can get some btc, eth or a valuable token at least. It’s better to join one of these kind campaigns.

There are a lot of companies where you can earn 0.05 BTC for several months of work. so bounty can still be an extra income

You should always sacrifice something hunters donate their time. Traders money and so on.

now there are indeed many unprofitable campaigns. but not all of that is fraud. because there is still a reward campaign that is quite profitable. so we who jump in the campaign don't just despair. because everything won't be fraudulent.

Already listed coins carrying out bounty is not many. There are just few of therm in the crypto market. What most of them do is airdrop and the value does not amount to anything meaningful, except it has a  referral programme, where the referrer gets what is sellable on exchange.
Despite all, there are still few profitable bounty campaigns in the space.

Bounties merit is you gain knowledge and represent a project in professional way it is positive gesture for your account and the demerit of Bounties is scam projects if you unable to select legit project then scam project will destroy your efforts and wastage of time at the end you will get nothing.So it is strongly advised to be careful choose the real projects to save your time and efforts.

I agree you need to very carefully check projects and study them because, because you choose the wrong project, it’s not enough that you lose your money. So, even by wasting your time on working better, have people who know where to invest in this business.

Not really that small if the time you finished the bounty during a bull run then it would exceed more than that. I am one of the lucky bounty hunters who got my tokens during the bull run of Bitcoin at that time on 2017 and was lucky enough to get more than the said prize. But today bounty hunting with ICO is not really a good idea since it is slowly dying due to either lack of support or prone to a scam.

And I think that the situation has not changed, earlier projects have underestimated ourselves, and overrated now, I think that's the problem.

It seems to me that every bounty story differs from one another.Some say they were super lucky ans some say they were cheated or underpaid.Depends on a person I guess.

I think such bounty hunters almost there.

They will bring profit, but only in the long term.

What is the point of promoting such projects if they pay very little?

He last time I ever received such amount of money per project was in that 2017, and ever since then, most of the ICO I have seen lately has become too greedy that they want to use the hell out of an hunter and then pay the hunter penny.

Imagine a campaign staying for as long as 8 months and then paying the hunter just $30 at the end of the project. Is that not a very big foolishness? There is no even guarantee that you will have access to the $30 after the projects, because if you are not fast on time, investor may quickly dump it before you do which will crash the price even far below what you received. He best now is to try and participate in already listed projects.

I have lots of them stocked in my wallet and can be so annoying seeing them for over a year now not even entering exchange, and the funny thing is that this is how they will continue to update people until investors lose interest in the project and then forget about the project.

We hunters are still lucky that we didn’t put in heavy investment, the people that are mostly affected are very heavy investors, they lose thousands of dollars to ICO’s like this, that is why you see very big investor now going to IEO because it looks safer and real there, just that IEO has not factored in hunters yet.

I have so many bounty tokens in MEW but funny enough, majority of them are not tradable. They just shit coins. Just find some already existing projects who are running bounties and join those ones. Though those ones don't pay huge amounts but at least you are sure of your payments.

I do agree with your concern and even i have problem same like you, investing in IEO's is always a good way to make money if you manage to hold them for a certain period of time. In the same way, you can research more about the bounty campaign because most of the potential coins are showing their credibility even after listing in the exchanges.

Even with careful selection of bounty campaigns, you can get tokens that cost absolutely nothing. Every bounty hunter with experience has useless coins on his account. Only a small percentage of projects gives participants a good profit.

before it be shit token we have to sell it.holding token was not good anymore , its easy to dump in market.personally i am prefer to switch my bounties reward to major coins such as btc, eth, bnb or others.

Yes, rewards are rarely paid for a long time. But what comes to the wallets is so cheap that even converting to BTC, ETH seems unreasonable. Also, by selling your rewards, you contribute to the fall in the prices of these assets.
Hodl may not be a good solution, but selling right away too is not a good one.

but not all IEOs will benefit many IEOs that have low prices when they have started trading and now there are several IEO projects taking into account bounty hunters to carry out promotions

The fact is that after the bull run, many fake projects have been running and bounties hunters find it difficult to filter these projects as to whether they are fake or legit and that's why you may be seriously involved in a fake bounty instead of the legit one. It's no one's fault and some members of this forum have put it on themselves making some of them exposed even before the tokensale starts.ss

Now the bounty program is much weaker than the bounty program of 2017 - it's a fact. I was able to get no more than $ 300. Now participation in the bounty is absolutely hopeless idea that will spend your time.

in my opinion, being a bounty hunter there is always a sad and happy news because it's difficult to distinguish bounty scams or not they are very neatly arranged about scam so when I get a big prize from the bounty, I will be happy and when the bounty that I follow the scam I will feel sad

When I post a new project on a social media account, some friends ask what you are posting, even they still don't know crypto and only know Bitcoin, when all bounties have good ideas and are really good, I will feel happy because of what I posted I can be clear with responses on social media. The existence of the crypto market will always have an impact on new projects, so we need to be careful when choosing projects that are truly real.

there are always joys and sorrows in work so we must be able to accept even though we get nothing in becoming a bounty hunter.
trade, investment and others also have the same risk.

The amount of users joining or are willing to join the bounty program is huge. But the rewards are limited. So the limited rewards are being spread among those huge number of users thus reducing the amount each of the users are joining. To be honest its not worth the time you will be spending for months. The price of the rewards will eventually fall more as the users will start to dump their rewards once the bounty program is over. Better spend your time in doing something more constructive.

I used to think that a good bounty to find just the reward for him will be not less than $ 100, but I realize now that I was wrong.

Bounty campaigns were profitable back then, but now seems not too profitable anymore.
There are many campaigns delaying their payment to the hunters, i don't know why.
We should not relying too much on bounty anymore, try trading or some other way to get more incomes.

good gifts are those who pay with tokens that have prices on the market. because many bounty tokens become trash and have no market to trade.

I think the ICO industry is gradually becoming less useful for those that have zero funds to partake in it day by day, it is now becoming purely for people that have money now to use to invest directly in these projects.

The bounty campaign where people still get money for investment is no longer forthcoming for majority of us here and for the past few months now, I have been using my money to directly buy some of these projects that I believe in. another thing I do now is to just trade with whatever little amount I can afford and see how I can double it to use the second part of it to make proper investment.

In 2017 there were many who managed to get money from bounties, continued at the beginning of 2018. For me because at that time the price of coins was expensive compared to now. This does not mean that in 2019 there will be no money from bounties, it is not only comparable with 2017. Currently it is better to join the IEO project because it is more reliable by investors.

Currently, we should not expect high earnings in the bounty. The time has passed when members of the bounty was making a lot of money. But then there was a cryptocurrency boom and it attracted a lot of new people. Now you need to be able to invest the previously earned cryptocurrency profitably.

if you think joining bounty is just a waste of time why are you still doing it? earning less than $ 300 is a pretty good result than you don't get any/scam projects

Yanu bounty program is pretty decent. You can earn up to 10,000 Yanu tokens. Yes, looking at the price might scare you off, but they are listed only in one exchange right now. What's more important is that the token will have a lot of value in the future since in has a real use case and the company also buys back 2% of the tokens from the open market and burns them, so gradually decreasing the token amount. Now if you think that with the token you can get discounted drinks, VIP service and the robot bars will exist around the world, there will be lots of people who want to get that token and I believe it will do at least 100x.

There are many problems surrounding crypto bounty projects lately but that doesn't mean there is no good projects anymore ,not trying at all is the total lose out

The Hunters in 2017 and early 2018 where lucky but there are still promising projects. I do not just promote project, i promote feasible and reliable ones.

When you get a low pay, it means that you are following the wrong bounty, along the bear market yesterday I still get paid quite high even though it is decreasing compared to 2017.
And to be honest when I get paid tokens and have been registered in exchange, I immediately sell it, I don't know but this is my best strategy, I believe more to move it in eth or btc form.

True talk oo, sometimes you even work for more than 4months, wait for another 1month before distribution and another 1month before listing and what annoys most is when you finding out that price is even lesser than the ICO price and decide to hold for months to get value for your tokens. Working for projects or coins that are already listed is perfect and it takes away stress and increase confidence.

I personally feel the same way. Sure enough, in 2017 we get a lot of results from the bounty and even that number is very unexpected. And entering 2018 until now it certainly has a very drastic decline in income in the bounty. I do not blame anyone because this is the way, because there is no way we can make big profits in the bounty forever.

Way back 2017, it is true that during this year there are lot of bounty hunters changed their lives because they a huge profit through bounties.
And by that time bull run was also happening were bitcoin price value was also kicked in the market so much until it reached the high peak price which is 20k$ almost each. Therefore your reason out here was true in some other way.

Their are some bad experience in the bounties some of them they will not pay you some of them they will wait for the baddest price of the token before they will distribute the tokens

The current awards in the new tokens that bounty hunters earn in ICO bounty companies, unfortunately, do not bring us good profit, as it was before. Even those tokens that do not so often appear in our wallets, as a rule, drop significantly in price when they appear on the exchange. Therefore, I prefer to keep them until better times. If we are confident in the prospects of cryptocurrency, and in particular, in the projects we have joined as bounty hunters, then over time they will have to grow in value. Hurry here is not worth it.

In year 2017 was a very good entry for the bounty hunters. Because not all projects at that time are dead, not likely right now. But they have found new solution, IEO, for this part , we can also earn gains because its listed after the conclusion of the campaign.

My experience from following the bounty, to get $ 500 now I have to take 3-8 projects but the project in 2017 I only need 1/2 project to get such benefits, for coin promotions that have been registered, seldom offers rewards of up to hundreds of dollars.

Bounties will never bring huge profits, bounties are there to support us, you can not rely on bounties because it will always remain unreliable. Get a job paying salary and combine it with bounties, you will be surprise with the outcome and trust me, you would have wished you join crypto earlier.

In fact, the truth hurts. Bounties are a means you get profit however, its not a reliable sour e of income. You can't be jobless and do bounties.

Truth, 2017 till early 2018 was a nice time for us bounty hunters.. It really gave a huge profits to all.. Suddenly, middle of 2018 cryto world got bearish... It was really a huge loss to all... Everyone lose profit... But the positive side was, especially those who really understand crypto. It is the time to buy dip and hold...

Well earning in a bounty is depends on the project itself and how they market it, for me I only see success of platform is the one who migrate in binance I didn't see any failure on it, even though we didn't earn 500$ a month it was okay as long as we have income even if it is small or big it was still an income.

it's time to think hard and prepare a new plan, that the bounty is no longer valuable.
but it is worthy of gratitude that the bounty still exists and we can take several campaigns.

Forum members with high rankings such as Full Member or above can earn $ 500 if the project is good. I am agree current condition different with 2017 because most altcoin price rising at 2017 and current condition many ICOs fail reach the target

Bounty hunters earned a lot of money in 2017 and early 2018, but these days, there is hardly any income for bounty hunters. Despite that i believe bounty hunters should continue doing it, as situation may change in future.

I hope that happens again. I saw many bounty hunters stop and leave this job. I think this is good, in time for each participant to have a great chance to get a decent payment.

this is a movement in the crypto world. indeed sometimes it improves and sometimes it gets worse. but that's all of course there is the best solution. even though now the bounty hunter has been reduced, and many projects are scam but crypto is still growing. so the current crypto situation is not completely stable.

Hehehe and you are very right and most bounty platforms are robbing hunters of their tokens earned them.
Even so project owners lock tokens for extra period

yes I understand that.
for me bounty is a gift for my free time. I really enjoyed it and found pleasure.
one time I had to stop and find a promising job.

I think this is the time to prepare a new plan because I consider bounties as not worthy anymore. Aside that,  most exchange platforms are robbing the bounty hunters.

Yes, bounties are almost dead, bit sometimes I still participate in bounties for fun. I also can earn some altcoins which I would never bought for money

I think none of us makes thousands of dollars in nowadays bounties.
Better to investing in some good IEO if you have enough money to invest.
But if you don't have enough money, you can still joining bounties, just don't expect to received huge money from it.

The bitter truth about bounties is that first of all we fully trust this bounty work and do it regular and dont have panic but have take full patience and wait for the right time to take profit which you want in this work.

Since 2018 I personally have difficulties in making money from Bounty. The very sharp decline in Bitcoin prices has negatively impacted all ICO projects. Perhaps those who have entered before the year 2017 is very fortunate because it gets a lot of successful projects. But this is our motivation to be better in this year 2019.

There are some bounties that are still profitable but not so much, if you can make good research you will surely get some and i am having the feelings that more will come in the future.

Bounty hunting doesn't offer much these days. Yes, 2017 was completely different. It was ICO madness, and it seemed any new crypto project could hit hard cap. Payouts were big and prices were rising. I think it has calmed down a lot and prices are more sustainable now, but yes it isn't so good for bounties.

it is true that at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018 it is a party for bounty hunters because it can produce with a large average of prizes,
different from the current year we are difficult to get a very large prize, because it is not easy and more and more bounty hunters.

this thread is about bounties which are not for ICO or IEO, so have a look at this one, they just started their signature campaign this weekend:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157364.msg51564574

no ICO, no premine, just 100% community governance with a growing userbase.

Project is in very early stages, but more mining pools getting attracted each day!

For a good overview visit their homepage: https://devault.cc/ or follow them on twitter: https://twitter.com/DeVaultCrypto

For now, even $500 must look project that really good. Maybe right there is still hope. But if to join signature campaign, we must really pick it carefully or maybe we can try article campaign that let us to join many projects.

i think the times to earn $500 are away, crypto is now too popular to give away free money this big. Beside that a signature campaign on a project u believe in and you are part of it gives you the benefit by making these projects more popular to broader audience!

you are right, a project with no large-scale promotion or strategic partners will have it more difficult to "scale". But the charme of these projects are that they grow slow and much more sustainable, making baby steps instead of a vapoware whitepaper or a pump and dump scheme. Important for these projects are patience, a growing community and steady developments!

But tell me first, enter any bounty channel that is active,,, I ask you to give me even just one example, where the bounty hunters are full of patience and do not panic. You know it yourself, there is almost no such thing.

Every channel I am in the same questions and the same impatience. And then everybody dumps. Show me one alt project where bounty hunters remained and supported the project after distribution.

and whats the conclusion of this? in most bounty programs the tokens for airdrops and bounties are first available e after a lock-up period, mostly a few weeks after the lunch of the project on exchanges. Beside that you have this "phenomen" also on POW coins with the miners or after ICO/IEO with investors chasing a fast profit....after all these the real investors and "believers" will still hold their stake.

Sometimes, some bounty projects gives us the opportunity to classify bounties in general as a waste of time and resources which shouldn't be so or worth it. Though bounties are not considered reliable, some bounties have really helped. The sad part of it is promoting a bounty project for months, waiting for distribution and listing for months too and realizing after listing, tokens worth nothing even compared to the ICO price. Why waste time on such bounties then, working for a projects with products and are already listed is what pushes me now to promote a project wholeheartedly.

But I don't think without ICO/IEO, a project can give you good rewards! This year, I researched and saw that Miracletele, Harmony, Coinhe, Sero paid well to its bounty hunters and all of them were ICO/IEO projects if I am not wrong. People earned good money from Veil which wasn't any ICO/IEO project! But the number is very limited!

I just joined the participation in the bounty companies in mid-2017 and was pleasantly surprised by the earnings in that period. Indeed, at that time there was a growth in the cryptocurrency market and people were actively transferring money to the ICO, which gave an excellent result for the bounty participants. Now we see the opposite. Of course, this is influenced by the fact that now the cryptocurrency market is not growing as before in 2017, but this is not the only problem. Now there is a lot of cheating from the administrators of the ICO and IEO. In almost all procts, the conditions of payments are changed, the bounty tokens of participants are blocked, or they simply don’t pay. Of 100% of projects, only 1% adheres to their promises. It is very sad.

The more you get used to bounty and crypto space the more you will get better after several mistakes, i see you promoted iskra/lucemproject, that project was a total dissapointed , i promote the project based on weekly payout from the teams but i just took the risk because right before i start i knew the project its not good enough

It's hard to make thousands of dollars by joining the bounty campaigns right now. But I still continue to participate in bounty campaigns. Because there are still good bounty campaigns in the market. And even if there aren't thousands of dollars, can make very good profits by joining these campaigns. But not forget that, should research well before the join any campaign.

Yes that is a new trend on a bear market, there are more and more bounties with already listed tokens of the project, by the way bounties is long term investing of your time, and you better hold your tokens till next bullrun

The truth is many bounty hunters have sold tokens worth thousand dollars for hundred dollars, the reason why you aren't making thousand of dollar from bounties is because of the present market condition, i will advice every bounty hunters to set aside some good tokens with real use cases even if they cost less in value because once the market start recovering they will skyrocket

It is dangerous to hold tokens you get from bounties,they might turn dead while holding them, miracle tele is the first token i decided to hold and after fee months it became useless, i have chabge my mind about holding bounty tokens

As I have experienced most bounties I've joined offer bounty total price of their tokens but in reality these tokens don't have worth because they really have no funds to get into exchanges when the bounty campaign ends. So your efforts on the bounty campaign will be wasted.

BOUNTY cannot be a basic and stable income, at least for the moment.  A very large number of projects cannot lead their business to a successful conclusion.  The reward can be significantly reduced, or the distribution of tokens can be delayed indefinitely.  Even after receiving the project token, it is not sent to the exchange and is useless in the wallet.  But, on the other hand, having some fixed income, you can spend time on a reward, as the hunter in the process learns a lot about the project.  And a worthy and promising project can be considered as an investment, and such ICOs still exist and will be.

however, the current conditions with 2017 are very different. it can be said that many things support the price development that occurred in cryptocurrency in 2017. However, for now, it may be very difficult to generate $ 500 for a project. because altcoin prices are currently dominating low. so we need to wait until the recovery of the price of altcoin occurs to get the appropriate payment. well, that's the thing that I thought about. I feel that it has something to do with the current price recovery.

it is true that supporting projects without ICO / IEO is better, especially if they have been listed in many markets. however, waiting for a project like that requires patience. so, while waiting for a project like that, I chose to support ICO / IEO which I feel has great potential to develop in the future.

The last 1,5 years were pretty hard for bounty hunters, because almost no ICO collected enough funds to distribute the promised amount of tokens, and if they did, the token value went down so fast, that nobody was even able to gain some profit.

Yes, Bounties seem to be dying, it the truth that all hunters are faced. Bounty is the strategy for the ICOs which want to crowdfund, but this time no retail investors are interested in it. New projects have gradually shifted to institutional investors, VCs, so bounty is no longer needed. They will have bounty or contest, but with very high requirements and limited bugget.

500USD is not enough for you? Then do not do it and go find another better paid work, for example in McDonald where you can earn up to 5USD per hour.
Or you work for BurgerKing germany which is crypto friendly and maybe they will pay you in crypto  :D.

$500 worth altcoin per bounty is not bad amount considering the bear market conditions. The average bounty earnings are under the price prediction per reward but they are paid with big delays. Teams don't help the bounty hunters during the both bounty duration and reward distribution, there are no concrete bounty platforms which can keep controlling the bounty campaigns under control. Moaning about the illiquid bounty tokens will not give us a new advantage in the bounty token trading and we need other solution to this deep problem of the bounty history. The truth is there is no enough demand by the crypto investors and the bounty earning is on the least demand list of the crypto investors. The market situation can vary depending on the situation and expectations by the crypto traders but the truth has no deviation with my arguments, the bounty rewards don't meet the demand by the project investors in most cases.

Stop moaning and stop supporting shit. You can totally be a full-time bountry hunter. The only reason you is not because you don't try hard enough, you don't do your research and you lazy. People want money to fall into their lap and if a bounty doesn't go so well or a project fails they call it a scam. Just the fac thtat people don't even know what a scam is, scares me. I see so many people joining signature campaigns for months in the same project but never comment on the Ann to help out the project. They not here for the right reasons and those sort of bounty hunters are low quality with nothing to offer.

Bounty campaign really is not for a full time work , this just get a small amount just to buy some drinks and food to eat as you scrolling to the internet, don't get me wrong, people who make bounties for a living will be having a hard time living as the current situation, because literally you need to get a real job not like this one, so don't blame the market or bounties or any types of things that makes it not profitable, for example myself I just join bounties for fun,'when im at home on weekend, dont make it full time
look for a work also, because at the end of the day, you need to feed your family, and bounties can only give you some, but works gives you a lot, im not saying don't join bounties but don't make it full time job because its not gonna add up special the situation we are in in the market

If the bounty pay the participants already in the market that will be great and the bounty hunters can prevent joining scam bounty and never useless their time and effort. Bounty now is not a great opportunity to join not like before in the year 2017 when the participants get huge reward because many projects became successful so they pay their participants because of their hardwork to promote the projects.

The bounties were very good once maybe two or three years back but now they don't pay as much. Sometimes they don't pay anything after many months of your work to promoting there altcoins, they just keep the rewards for themselves. Happened to me with some bounties this year.

You work for already listed coins cause you wish to dump them as soon as you get them. Some people are in long run with these projects, some people don`t think about dumping, they think about holding. I participated in some good bounties and earned some good money, but I never dump everything I get, I sell them for some bitcoins or ethereum, put that on a side and plus I have some amount of tokens.

Then you must be having lots of dead tokens in your wallet, because the project if often abandoned after ico (at least from my experience).

Whether the bounties is not the same way back 2017 and even it's not getting a big amount of rewards it's not an issue for me because I really love doing this matter, I love collecting more coins or token, we never know what will happen in the future because in this crypto world everything is unpredictable be positive always look to the bright side.

This is a nonsense reasoning.

Bounty will be alive even without Bull Run of course it cant be calculated like monthly as if bounty usually paid that rush, it could take more than a month or more before they compensated the participants. Also, if you only will rely on bull run for bounty then youre not a good hunter. There are campaigns that earn flexible and good here but they prefer humans and not spammer.

I hold the same position. I try to participate in many projects and write articles about projects so that my portfolio is full of altcoins. and I do not sell them immediately after listing.

Now earnings on bounty campaigns not so solid as they were at the dawn of this way of earning. There are many times more people who want to earn, and the altcoins price is much less. And yes, you are right, often the coins already tradable on exchanges are more interesting for a bounty hunter, although the reward for them is often less.

We all understand now that it will be difficult to regain trust because everyone has a hard lesson in the market. we know where these projects offer prizes and luxury allowances to join their campaign so they will get the funds they are looking for and when they get the majority of the money they usually run away and the rest pump coins and just throw away everything and leave the project. The point is we have to be careful in choosing projects.

same as you, but given my limited rank, it is not enough to participate in projects that already have their own exchanges, the problem is the prize I will receive is small especially as such a project has many participants.

Most of the bounty project now adays are scam and it’s really had to know a good and fulfilling bounty program . I will advice bounty hunters to look for a better alternatives rather than wasting their precious time on unreliable bounty programs

I agree those days were the greatest days of bounty hunting and I benefited from that one. Bounty hunting is not dead and the truth is scammers just found that ICO is a huge opportunity to catch easy and newbie investors and resulted to mass scam ICO projects. I personally don't label them as income but more of incentive because ICO is not that sure of making the project successful.

I still made a more than 3,000 USD in one of the project i joined.
But it is the reality now that bounty is getting worse. It is not about the bull run before but the success rate of the project on those years.
In addition of most project are legit and good payer, unlike with the situation now, it is hard to get a great project and if they get the sweets the payment is delay or locked.

most projects that are already registered in the market pay the campaign participants cheaply. it is precisely projects that are not yet registered and are still new that sometimes bring surprises to bounty participants with large rewards. but in working on campaigns, don't expect big rewards. you will surely be disappointed.

yeah it seems like that everything on crypto now is depending on Trend. First faucets, doubler, hyips, bounties,mining, lending, airdrops, ICO, selfdrops, give aways,IEO.  All of those are still existing now but what giving the bounty hunters or bitcoiners more profit is the Current trend.

I remember those times when i got a chance to earn thousands of dollars in every project but yeah nowadays bounties are already dead. You'll be lucky if you get atleast $200 in today's bounties and what makes it more yikes is the number of scam projects. I wish we could get a good fortune again on the next bullrun.

Limited ranking does not rule out the possibility of earning a large income, you have to be more creative and better at seeing opportunities, don't be discouraged by limited account ranking, because there are still some campaign that you can still follow. Like Content Creation, Translation, Linkedin and social media.

bounties as any of the products/services have their life cycles
they peaked a couple of years ago and now in a decline stage :

same goes for ICO's that are pretty much interconnected
even rebranding them to IEO didn't help , less and less projects make it
the market is saturated , people got enough of the scammy , useless tokens and projects that bring nothing new or interesting and which sole purpose is to raise money for the creators

You are right. Promotion a non-ICO/IEO project can give us a good feeling. It is very hard to make 500$ from a good project. Bounty hunters barely earn 500$ nowadays, and we say it very good earnings. Because of most of the bounty camp pay 50-100$ or highest 200-300$. And yes, the bull run fact. I earned 10K USD without doing siggy in 2017, even I only did twitter that time, which is a daydream at this moment.

Whether participating in bounty activities can get rich profits is most closely related to market conditions. When the market is down, the bounty tokens obtained may be worthless and vice versa.
