Bitcoin Forum

Bounty hunters please start claiming your worth, do not go around promoting bounty projects that has too low allocation, i was surfing around on this forum today and i saw new bounty projects that have allocation worth of 1000dollars and they even have separate campaigns, why are people promoting such projects? you are the ones responsible for how developers are treating bounty hunters, there is nothing wrong if you decide not to work for penny... Even some airdrops on this forum has 8$ worth of allocation, just imagine that

People don't care anymore especially new bounty hunters, they are always ok with whatever they can make from any bounty projects either bucks or penny, this is why some developers threat hunters like shit, the moment you say you can't promote a project due to too low token worth you will see some poor bounty hunters promoting the same project before your eye

At first, I thought your post is about promoting scammy/low-quality project but I'm a bit disappointed. You know that only few people will gonna join if the allocation is small so this might be the factor that some bounty hunter thinking. With only few participants then the bounty is quite enough for each individual. And also about the airdrop, 8$ is good for free money. Most projects doing airdrop and promising huge amounts turn into scam because who is in the right mind that will giveaway huge amounts of token while they are running a token sale? That is a bit unfair for investors that will gonna risk money for the project itself.

I have stopped promoting projects on my Facebook long ago because it does not fit my personality. You see, I'm a respected man in our schools and from what I'm seeing, sharing those required post per day or per week makes my Facebook profile looks like a bot. so I made a decision from that day I only going to promote a project in the signature campaign with trusted managers. in that way, I don't need to worry about my personal profile because in this community, it is recommended to hide your identity while promoting something.

I think OP has a point, if total pool of a bounty allocation is 1k worth and 1000 bounty hunters promote such project that is 1$ worth of token for each bounty hunters and remember that campaigns like telegram and social media are always over crowded, most telegram campaigns always have over 5000 participants, i promoted CMA bounty months back and over 50k bounty hunters joined that bounty, do you even know how many bounty hunters are on this forum??

I understand what you are hinting at. When we allow ourselves to be taken as cheap and be enticed with just colorful and tasty-looking "lollipops" then eventually that is what we will get. Due to an ever-growing number of bounty hunters, some projects do not consider the hard work that these people are contributing for their promotions and so many are so willing to accept breadcrumbs on the floor. Well, maybe these people have nothing to do so they are so willing to get anything that is offered to them especially with respect to the social media campaigns where any rank can get in and be a part of. As the platform of ICO had already collapsed and the IEO not really taking a dramatic take-off, we are in dire need of good projects to support with and promote which we hope can also give us a good rate of return for our efforts.

If the bounty already has the value of the token then the hunter will invade and many people will join in. I think it's natural because the hunter is promoting more promising, including me who joined the CMA campaign and had thought that the project could be money and real after I received the token the token has no price on the IDAX exchange,

This should be addressed to all the bounty hunters who are not thinking twice before joining any campaign. They didn't think whether how much they can get with such a small allocation even if that project is very promising one.

Some of the project owners also are abusing the bounty allocation and they are thinking that bounty hunters are like beggars. As a fellow bounty hunters we should always double check everything before joining whether it is worth to allocate our time for that project or it is only a waste of our time. As a bounty hunters we are investing our time,effort and patience therefore it's very unfair if we will get a single penny from months of our work.

This is really weakening. And I do ask myself if those promoting such a low project with low allocation did not read the allocation. At the end when they get paid, you'd see them wailing. Who is fooling who? As a bounty hunter, don't always forget to punch your calculator well before promoting any project.

Maybe those promoting it is new with this kind of task. They dont know how to check a project and how much allocated payment. Even the allocated amount is high you will not know if the project you are promoting is really worth it for your effort ,what else those project given only small allocated bounties.

Yes CMA project is shit project sorry to say, i made a huge mistake promoting the project at that time, sometimes when there is no project to promote you would want to give a try to not too good ones just to try your luck, that was the reason why i promoted CMA project

Miracle tele is still the most profitable bounty project i have seen this year so far, from 100s of dollars to thousands of dollars is very rare for bounty rewards this days, even now that the project failed many bounty hunters who sold their tokens are happy about it, solid projects matters for real and same as bounty managers too

If we know that the campaign only offers  small allocation for  bounty, we need to ask the team to put at least a participants limit. Then it is up to us now. also,we should do estimation before joining if it will be really worth doing and spending time and effort cause if not we better focus on other things. On the other hand we can't blame others who are only taking any project since it may only be their way of earning like those full time parents or students, I just hope they do research before joining since some bounties are not paying now unlike before that this forum is not yet too many users.

Can you these cents raze not decorate your life, and here is in poor countries where earn 30-50 dollars in month this big money. Africa or India will never give up such easy money. It is clear that people from America will never kill time for this work. Think about it, because hunters around the world

Maybe they think the price of the coin will soar when entering the exchange. So it doesn't hurt to try. Or maybe they also joined with many accounts, so the income doubled. But personally, I would skip projects with too little allocation because they are a waste of time. It's better to just work on airdrops or trade with your funds.

Because there is not so much successful bounty this year. Everything like failure and bounty hunter will do all the projects to be able to get money if lucky

Very right, some projects have billions of max token supply and when they launch bounty campaign they will introduce pool allocation with thousands of tokens, tell me how will this bring reasonable rewards? bounty hunters are to be blame sometimes because they fail to do better research on projects they promote

The main reason is that they don't have a choice anymore, once a bounty pops up on that section and any amount of allocation or pool fund that bounty has, every bounty hunter will join.
Airdrops are fine if that's the total amount because they're free but giving that market value, it also goes down once it's tradable.

Bounty hunters are been treat like garbage because developers are among us on this very forum and they watch how bounty hunters are desperate to promote projects for pennies, the moment a project get abandoned by bounty hunters because of low bounty allocation we will see some changes but that day will never come

I don't think you get it, bounty hunters care only for every penny they can get may it big or small. As long as the project pays then that would be good for them. Not unless a bounty Hunter already has keptany tokens in their portfolio, then that would be the case that they refrain joining low paying bounty campaign.

Can you share which campaign you are referring to?

You haven't shared relevant informations in your post.
- How long will the project take?
- Is there a limited number of participants? If there us, how many?
- Is the coin or token already listed on CMC and have actual value unlike those startups whose value remains to be seen?

It is important to know why the pool is like that and not just jump into conclusion like most of the people who responded here.

It's possible that it is just a short campaign with limited participants.

I think that everyone should decide for himself in which bounty campaign to take part.
If a person is ready to work for $ 3 ... Well, then he himself evaluates his work in such amount.

A bounty hunters mindset is as long a bounty campaign will pay, its good.
A bounty hunters work should be valued more. I can see a lot of bounty campaign that pays lower than we had for the past few years. Bounty hunters think that its better to have a small amount of bounty than to receive nothing and get scammed by the campaigns.
We cant blame them for that, bounty hunters need to have enough bounty for themselves even if its small.

For me, I would rather go and promote a project with a 1,000 USD allocation that looks trustworthy and legit than one that is dangling 1,000,000 USD allocation but will not end up paying or most likely a scam or will fail.

But you are right, we need to give ourselves respect. If a project offers very low payment, we will just say thanks but no thanks. I have other things to do.

If only people will start to realize that they are just being used by these greedy projects, they will stop promoting them once and for all. The problem is that they are easily swayed by the offer without really doing a research as to their legitimacy.

Correct, bounties rewards is always at hunter's risk, what ever your reward is going to be is up to you not anyone, i don't have to tell you to do better calculations when you want to promote a project or tell you to join multiple campaigns for higher payments, some bounty hunters are fine with 3$ payment for weeks of work

I think that it makes no sense to participate in Bounty companies, when new coins go to the exchange, they already cost nothing, if some coin is interesting it is better to buy it after the release, it saves time)))

Of course I know. If you are talking about social media campaign participants, Well most of them are just an alt account that can't count them as an individual. I'm just pointing that if you are in the right mind, why you will still join on a bounty campaign that has low allocation which has already tons of participants. Most the user that joining there is controlled by 1 or 2 single people that abusing the bounty system by using newbie account for registration. It's not the project itself is the problem but the bounty abuser.

Just want to add a tip for every airdrop hunters and bounty hunters, not all projects will launch bounty campaign but they will only be able to afford airdrop campaigns, this campaigns sometimes brings better rewards that some bounty projects, yes i am a living witness of this point of mine, few airdrops do have value or rewards higher than bounty rewards

As long as they pay in my opinion there is no problem with that, especially if with a small allocation they usually limit each participant who can participate. This can increase the chances of getting paid more stable and certain compared to large allocations, but the distribution date and value of the token does not yet exist. Bounty campaigns that have an allocation of less than 5000 USD tend to have special requirements and most of their tokens have been listed in several markets, therefore they only provide a limited budget to help promote their project brands in this forum.

I will say more! you don’t need to support dubious projects at all, and now 99% are dubious projects. Why did people start participating in the Bounty campaigns? - Yes, it’s simple, in the hope that in the future a new cryptocurrency will reach the level of bitcoin, but this will never happen, unless they launch a project with cool technology - for example, teleportation ...

They are all garbage hunters and they are the main problem why so many scam projects in these days. They came from 3rd countries and a few pennies worth a lot for them maybe.
Believe me they will receive nothing after the campaign has finished. They never did any research to the project and blatantly promoting even so many scam projects with a few hundred dollars of allocation.
They have lost their credibility.
But I believe if that was social media campaign.

They will never try to see what you have been writing in this place.
You can check some crap bounties and even the campaign has already finished and those bots are still creating new reports.

They are not hunters but they are bots.  ;D

Trust me OP there are some people from different type of the world who will be so happy they could make 5dollars from bounties, you should know what i am talking about already, after 2016/2017 ico success many news quickly spread around about how many bounty hunters turned millionaire so what do you expect friend?

Few reasons why these bounties exist and why people are doing them:

• Projects an get marketing cheaper, so why woudn't they do it. (They are just exploiting poor people because there's no rules against it)
• There are people from 3rd world countries and to them that money is worth way more so they will take the job anyway
• Some of these projects actually could be worth something to bounty hunters, because there will be less people joining to share the tokens with them.(but this doesn't make any sense from the marketing point of view)
• The team want to prevent the bounty dumpers who don't believe or wouldn't otherwise invest anyway in the project to dump the price, and this attracts investors
• In some of the projects, token price is made up anyway and the amount of bounty tokens given have no correlation with the sold tokens, so even if the said $ value is marked high, you should always see what could dilute it.
• People actually believe in the project so that the instant cashing out doesn't mean anything to them. But they see this as a way to contribute

Even if the project fundamentals are fine, i myself for example don't want to participate in icos that give a lot % of the total amount of tokens to hunters or some influencer advisors. As that usually means that the devs are only interested raising as much money as possible and don't mind diluting the token price.

There is no actual guarantee to the coin whether we are going to get a reward or not. Till now, most of the bounty project gets into a scam which they cannot manage to list the coin. We are seeing false promises from the companies who are not serious about the further level of development.

the $ 8 allocation is very low, even if it is shared among several bounties. I think because of the many bounties and the management of the team that is not solid, making bounties these days is no longer feasible for us to work there. even in some cases, distribution was not carried out and some were very low in value.

but from all that, someone like me who started his career from 0 in this forum, still strongly believes in the income from the bounty, because that's all that might be done.
any suggestion?

Or they don't even distribute the tokens for almost a year some bounty campaigns I joined, they had not sent the coins to our wallets. The situation those days was that there are less campaigns that pays BTC which is why some of the users joined whichever campaign is there.  If they only knew they can't even list their coin to STEX, they wouldn't be joining.

I believe that some bounty hunters are currently not doing research in the projects they support. Well, we are sometimes passionate about promoting projects that we feel are good enough without doing research, even when the project has a red trust.

I don't really care about the allocation, as long as it's still worth it, I will still support projects like that, as long as it's still legit. As a bounty hunter, doing research will be a very good thing for the future, before we get angry because the project is a scam. I just want to suggest that the project that should be supported has great potential, and also a fairly guaranteed.

Thats not new buddy sometimes i dont understand why some bounty hunters is not helping with its own kind. Instead they are favoring those who cheated them. thats why it time to regain ourselves just choose a quality bounties dont just picked anything without proper study choose quality over quantity.

I strongly agree with you. Day by day bounty pool will go to reduce but on the other hand participants will increase. I am suffered in many campaigns. Even i joined Verasity project in the last month this one really promising so that i was interested. Tomorrow really i shocked to saw the my reward which is only around 10$. My dedication and effort was big but  for the lower pool i am very disappointed.

I think many bounty hunters don't understand the calculation of distribution percentage or total allocation value they just keep joining the bounties without any due diligence that's the reason they repent when the project pays just worth of pennies coins. To avoid get just pennies always check the project total allocation value before participating in new projects.

I haven’t been joining the ICO signature campaign for a long time, if I see that the pool for the signature campaign is allocated very small in volume in the usual currency. An exception may still be ICO projects, where there is a new idea of ​​conducting their business that I liked, and I will be sure that their tokens will be in demand and grow in value. However, for example, if I see that ten percent of the total pool is allocated for a subscription campaign, and twenty percent for individual social networks, I do not join such a campaign in principle. Indeed, bounty hunters need to get ICO teams to respect our work.

I agree with you that the situation up to a few years ago is very different than the present. Some hunters are ready to work even for $1 per day. It is probably due to the fact that the price of expenditure in each country is not the same. On the other hand, it is better to evaluate the situation than to be idle. This is already dependent on everyone's own choice, so maybe we think wrong.

Because bounty campaigns that have a real total budget, not higher than 500k USD are most likely to show good stats after exchange listing. It is much better to join such campaigns, instead of promoting projects that are promising you 3m USD.

Everyone is free to join in whatever bounty they believe it worth their time. I mean , yes , low supply of bounty will attract less hunters but you can actually earn more if the project will rise after. The supply of the bounty don't mean a lot especially when we talk about big projects. Where there is a big supply of coins in a bounty, a lot of hunters will join thinking that a lot of $ are also involved but most of the bounties don't share the capital they have in fiat...nowadays you must search a lot until you can find a good bounty willing to share the amount if bounty worth in fiat.

Maybe there's a huge possibility that they are experimenting due to lack of experience in the bounty hunting world. Let us let them learn that the essence of this forum primarily to share knowledge and useful information about cryptocurrency, and bounty hunting or campaign is just a bonus from the knowledge what we can get here so we should be consider thinking why we're here from the start.

Allocation reward for bounty campaign is not the same after coin listing, many bounty campaign give allocation worth $250k but after listing is not the same with this price, maybe lower or higher than how much coin allocation, all it depend on how much price coin bounty after listing on exchange market, if have higher price allocation higher than $250k.

It is because of the new hunters that are always trying to get whatever they can. Although this is a good strategy, it doesn’t work everywhere. You end lowering your own value in the end and making others in the same field miserable too.

The advertisement side if this industry is more chaotic as the more new projects show up. It is very sad to hear that there are people that allows those projects to compensate them with lower than the bare minimum. I hope they soon realize that there are other good projects out there that deserves your time and effort more. It will be better to know one's worth and filter those "opportunities" so that you won't be static forever. Learn to grow, and of course along with that, your compensation should also increase or adjust to the quality of your performance.

Taking the risk of promoting and helping the developers even the rewards is not pleasing. They are all after with possible rewards that they can have after, many newcomers are no longer doing any research and simply contented with allocated rewards once the job has been done. I agree with OP it's time to value your time and start finding campaigns which is worthy to support. Doing your research will increase your chances to find good project with decent and acceptable rewards.

The newcomers only works for money and not for the betterment of the industry of crypto. They should learn what is this all about. This not just about money, it is to improve the financial sector of the economy. And to do that, projects are needed to be promoted to the public to gain popularity and awareness. Those people in advertisement are needed to be compensated correctly. Stop lowering your value to cents of those projects. There are other projects out there that is more worth of your time and effort.

Do you know where most of the active community members come from? From poor countries like India, Indonesia, Turkey and so on. If they earn more than 1-2USD in a hour, so it's worth. It's sad but it's true.  ;)

I also never understood the people on this forum who are ready to work every day and do a lot of marketing for $ 5 a month. these are very strange bounty hunters

Sheer desperation.  It's the same reason why new members come here to work for extreme low wages, will do all the work up front and hope they dont get scammed at the end, and its why you'll see these same people performing mindless tasks such as entering captchas or bumping threads, for which they probably do literally get paid pennies.

And where does that desperation come from?  People from poorer countries who are not able to find work or can't work for whatever reason.  To someone in a first world country these bounties aren't worth the effort usually, but for someone who is dirt poor they can provide a living wage.  It's incredible to think about that, but its true.  Why do you think so many people apply for bounties and everything else here?  Generally it isn't for the love of crypto but to feed themselves.

I concur with you op, bounty hunters don't have a lot of respect for themselves and their worth, but I understand where they're all coming from.

I think you are absolutely right. I also thought previously same way when after bounty rewards distribution, I realised how small amount it was.
In such cases, it's just waste of time. Henceforth, I will strongly consider this point before selecting new project.

Bounty hunters In majority are greedy and scavengers they don't give a dime about there reputation but are just desperate to do any campaign to as low as doing income less airdrops so it's those with high level of understanding that would get your message

Those participating in most of the low reward projects are bound to do that, and they cant change. Some are from the poor countries and the 5-10 dollars is capable of putting food on their table with proper management of their internet service. They offer service mostly in the social campaign with many accounts to claim more reward. they can be in all social media campaign on the forum at the same time

Many newcomers came to this topic and perform any tasks for a penny. I also think that you need to respect yourself and not do everything for a penny

We do not know how to end up before joining the bounties and if we do not know the profit will be more or less, how can we blame someone? Everyone wants more money. If anyone offers a better choice, I do not think they will work for a few bucks again.

How much money will you make from the bounty you have joined? it will probably less than $10. We all blame those people but those people are us anyway.

you are right about bounty hunters accepting everything too easily, this makes us always the weak link, the ones easy to scam... being in terms of reward, KYC, etc
but we also have to note that most bounty hunters do a shitty job, and if we measure their impact in terms of marketing it is close to zero...
so, it goes both ways, I guess that the whole space has to evolve and grow up...

The question here is not respect, and it is not for you to judge who is participating in which companies.
The project allocated $ 1000 - ok, this is not enough for you - ok, you do not take part in such a project, but someone completely agree to such conditions - they suit him.
So why not? While these people are participating in this project, you can choose another one with a smaller number of competitors.

That was really the lowest allocation or even the lowest I knew. Usually I find a bounty campaign with a minimum allocation of $ 50,000. If what you say is true, there is a bounty campaign with an allocation of $ 1000, then leave it and don't promote the project.

for now that have so many bounties are low of allocation in this year ill stop promoting that kind of bounties.
Then who want to participate in a bounty if the allocation was too small and you can claim only for same price of burger. Ill think we are bounty hunter are need to be aware of those kind of bounties that receive you a small amount.

Having a low volume of allocation means to me that the developer have no budget for their marketing side and that means it will be hard for them to work for their product which can result to a fail project. Bounty hunters should know their worth and don’t just join a bounty which don’t value your work and didn’t even pay a fair amount.

how can you say miracletele a profitable project? whereas they are obviously big scams.
bounty hunters are now no longer profitable, and rarely are there really any value.
so bounty hunters now don't think about how much they should receive from their work.

Not all project developers would want so many participants. Even without the project putting it to a stop, immediately it reaches a participants requirement level, bounty hunters too should respect themselves and not to join those who are already into it, completing for a penny. Also, allocation is not the major problem, rather it is the authenticity of the projects itself and project team keeping to their promises.

So this thread will just be all about greediness and money being made in bounties.

So what? It is their choice. If they didnt look at how much it will pay them then so be it.
They will be the one's who will suffer in the end for all their efforts.

It is a good thing that you saw it already before them. Just be thankful you are not that greedy yet.

Lets apply quality over quantity, Only few projects that really compensate their campaign participants well. We must not be blinded by big allocation and should always look for the quality of the project, mostly newbies fall to marketing traps without knowing the projects worth.

Perhaps they are still hoping that they'll be able to hit the jackpot, the same way they get it way back in 2017. We can't blame them if they are still hoping for that since there are still few projects which are useful and successful at the same time.

Yeah its too low, but this is kind of allocation give me assurance of being legit. Imagine those project that are offering super large allocation in bounty. That is more way, suspicious I think. Especially if you found out their soft cap and hard cap is almost similar to their bounty budget. Looks like they dont think of their post before releasing their campaign.

You cannot dictate what bounty hunters should do. Believe me, they will never listen. Are you an investor? If you are, you should cleanse each bounties promoted in this forum. After all you are the one to invest and risk your money not them. But for bounty hunters promoting projects that is sketchy, they're wasting their time.

We cant blame those type of bounty hunters, they tend to participate in bounty campaigns with small allocation as long as they are paying, most of the bounty campaigns these days are scam and its better to receive a bounty even if it is just a small amount than getting scammed even if you put an effort to promote a bounty campaign.

They don't care about the allocation anymore, their focus on the probability of them getting paid.
With this market condition now, it's hard to find good bounty with great reward, so less reward but there's a good assurance, I think its attractive.

The answer to your question is very simple. There is too much competition out there and there are not many good bounties. So the bounty hunters (especially the noobs) have no choice other than to join these campaigns which have very unfavorable terms and allocation system. On top of that, there is no fixed regulation here in Bitcointalk regarding the bounties. Therefore the campaign managers are free to admit as many participants they want and allocate whatever share that they feel as justified. Also, there is no requirement to keep the tokens in escrow, and this has resulted in the campaign manager running away with the bounty in at least a few cases. One option is to go for the signature campaigns that make payments with BTC. But there are only 2-3 such campaigns active right now and many of them accept only Hero/Legendary ranked members.

Bounty hunter give me everything now, I joined last three years with first bounty campaign is Minexcoin, do you know or heard about Minexcoin bounty campaign? I disappointed when sell Minexcoin with $10 but just few days later Minexcoin raise to $80, I got about 50 minexcoins in my wallet and I am glad with how much profit I earn with my first payment from bounty campaign.

However, everyone has the right to reason on this topic and express their opinion. Over the past year or two, pay for bounty hunters has really decreased dramatically. Yesterday I went to look at the new ICO bounty campaigns and noticed that ten percent of the total number of tokens allocated to the ICO bounty is allocated to the signature campaign, and twenty percent to some campaigns on social networks. If the ICO team appreciates our work so low, I basically will not join such projects. Of course, each has its own circumstances and each has its own right to choose. We may call for a boycott of participation in low-payout ICO bounty campaigns, but everyone will decide on his own.

Only few bounty hunters care about their reputations, too many bounty hunters are now on here and they really don't care which project is worth promoting or not, all they want is free tokens, the probability of getting paid and the dreams in their head that they can make thousands from bounties, quality projects will never disappoint unless its not well managed by the developer

I’ve heard this coin and many bounty hunters joined this campaign. It was profitable that time when that price is reach high, but suddenly when btc declined most altcoin drops also including minexcoin. Also minexcoin these days has gone and become not valuable in the market. Actually, some bounty hunters have no choice that’s why they joined too low paying.

I completely agree with you, so when I see a bounty company with a pool of several thousand dollars, of course I don’t join such companies, because it’s a complete mockery, because working and promoting a company for a couple of months to get 1-2 dollars at the end is just a slavery, and most importantly, there are more and more such bounty companies with a bounty pool of a couple of thousand dollars.

Its really discouraging how altcoins have been performing since the start of bear market in 2018, this same minexcoin was once 80$ per one and now its trading at 0.07cent, the difference is marginal almost 99% lost, its same fate with other altcoins presently but its a good time for people who wants to invest, they will buy cheaper and who knows they might find way back to reclaim the loss

Please, don't dictate for people what to join and what not to join as regards low budget, more so, some persons don't look at budgetary allocations. There was a project that did a bounty and paid out in bitcoin, instead of writing bitcoin values, they opted for Satoshi and quoted the value in Sat, which made people to be confused and participated in it, that is fine, people will need to learn for themselves or ask quality questions.

The problem is not a low budget but a scam project. We should warn people never to promote scam projects and not necessarily low budget. As for me, I will never promote low budget bounty and won't stop others from promoting it, it's a choice.

There are bounty hunters that are careless and just join random bounties pushing their luck that it is legitimate and will pay well. They should consider reading through the bounty thread, and researching about the project before helping them promote. Do not waste your time promoting scam projects that will pay you worthless coin/token. Do your part as a abounty hunter and stop promoting scam projects, give your self a reward by joining legitimate projects and helping crypto by not promoting such projects.

If they pay to bounty hunters just a few dollars for a campaign, how many bounty hunter will join in?
Thousand dollars are payed via their tokens so if they success, you will be rich.

That is all depend on the number of bounty participants, but most of the time, there are 200 or more are becoming part of an individual project, a thounsand dollar wont be enough to give those bounty hunters a good bounty when the distribution starts. Most of the time, the value of the token decreases more since its price will dump in the market.

In fact, some of us have tried to avoid project scams, but sometimes a project scam when the project has been supported for a long time. in this case, some bounty hunters don't always see the development of the projects they support. some of us just work without seeing the development of the project.

because there are quite a lot of projects like that, right now I always monitor the development of projects that I support through the bounty program. Well, I respect my time, so I don't want to work blindly.

Most of the bounty hunters actually focus on the popularity of the project, they will only attend a crypto project if they see that a lot of people are talking about it, they don't bother to look and investigate more about the project as long as many participants are supporting it. They don't take even a little time to see if the project is a good project or a scam project.

Most bounty hunters are not looking into the allocation. That's why they're promoting that kind of projects. The next thing is bounty hunters are promoting scam projects too. That means they are getting a low amount of rewards or nothing for their works. My personal opinion is to do your own research about that project before starting any bounty campaign.

I had a same issue, worked so much and got only 50$ in return. When I said it wasn't fair and it is slavery hourly rate, the so called admins told me that it is worth to be in part of the competition-bounty and learning process. They are losing a lot when they use us as slaves. In return, I tell everywhere about them and this is not good for them for sure.

Developers are at fault too, they start bounty campaigns with no limited participants, if bounty allocation is very low in usd value its always better to limit the participants that can promote the project so that the reward per participants will make sense

Actually we just have choosed too many wrong projects, so the reward is not much as we imagine. So i think any projects should pay bounty with btc instead of pay with their tokens

That is why bounty hunters should be aware enough and research before joining any bounty campaign. Many of bounty hunters are complaining that they are deprived of their rewards or given less amount of rewards. It happens just because of lack of their awareness. They should stop promoting such projects that have allocated a small amount of rewards.

it's totally wrong if we blame bounty manager or developers team about participants limitation.they thinking if more people join in their campaign,more people spread about them and also possibility to attract invetors bigger than before.if they allocate small money in their campaign,we have to be wise with our decision that will participate or not.don't focus on value only.we have to recognized the projects quality.

In terms of participants, the developers will always want more. After all, that is what they are after. They want more and more people promoting their project to reach a wider audience and possibly attract investors. Most of the time, they do not care how much per participant will receive due to the very high number of participation. I guess it is the manager that should try to convince the developer that there has to be a certain limit so that each participant will receive a decent amount of compensation. 

Not developers fault at all, put yourself in their shoes won't you want to make the news of your project reach millions of people around the globe? i bet that will be your aim as well, isn't it? they are not to be blame at all, they need many investors as possible as they can get

Golden words!!! Fully agree with you.
And even at this time, there was much such examples.

Generally, displayed bounty allocation in USD - ridiculous thing. It's just air.
I can announce ICO right now. Write, that token price is 1 dollar. Then announce bounty with allocated 5 mln tokens, and say to all that my bounty has 5 millions bucks in reward pool. Very funny, don't you think?  ;D

I don't know why those people still supports those projects even if the amount of their effort is really not equal from the pay amount. Even if you live in a third-world country that kind of pay is not enough for a single day or even one meal. Maybe they just don't know where to get money that any way they will accept it just to earn.

Those projects that offer that kind of allocation see bounty hunters as a joke, we bounty hunters must not promote that kind of projects that treat us like a beggar. Let's unite and boycott those scammy projects out there.

People do care, i still care, i will never join those bounties who don't pay well for your work.
There are some people who don't look for the price they are joining but that is very important.
If those projects who give a small budget and be entertained then there will be more of them to do that. in the long run we will not see a good allocation.
I hope those who joined those deceiving value projects will not continue their campaign there.

Maybe they hunter who take low value bounty is too poor.
Yes they need money, but i think lazy to research, is it worth to take this bounty?
I prefer research first so in the long run will have a big potential profit.
I hope some beggar know how to educate themself.
I don't judge you!

I agree with you, reducing the amount of rewards for bounty hunters can scare away really talented bloggers, translators, etc. Often the time spent on a campaign is paid unfairly low. Only the performers themselves can influence this if they refuse to participate in the generosity, which is allocated a common pool of several thousand dollars for several thousand participants.

I feel that the bounty hunters at this time are not getting what is rightfully theirs. some of the campaigns that I have worked on as an example. only a few can give money and most don't have a price. what about the results of their work that should have been appreciated but some people don't care

There is also a scam bounty, participants have done KYC but there is no update about when they will pay the bounty hunter
And there are many projects cutting allocations to bounties without informing the participants in advance

I'm ok with that as long as the project is legit and the value that you are going to receive in their announcement is the same or even higher when it hit the market, I have participated in one bounty campaign I should be receiving $300 worth of their token but after I received it, the coin failed to get into the market and has become a useless coin in my wallet.

Well, the issue is that those kind of projects are being the norm in the bounty hunting scene since 2018, the ones that fail to even list their tokens on some sub-par exchange, so pretty much every participant is trying to sniff out campaigns that they are maybe not very rich allocation wise, but have at least some mid/long term potential.

Honestly, it is really hard nowadays to join in bounty campaigns because most of them are just a waste of time  in promoting their scam projects that we didn't get any rewards or any payment from them and some projects don't have any good value. Good thing that there are still signature campaigns who are worth to join because they still give rewards from advertising and promoting their projects, but their are still users in this forum who just spamming their posts so they could get their rewards.

Cutting bounty allocation after being a successful startup is a shameful act from a project! Recently collterix did it thrice, can you believe? They cut down the bounty budget three times in a row. The last one was before 3-4 days of distribution! The project looked perfect and did very good in IEO, but they disrespected the bounty hunters.

Most bounty hunters only grab the available opportunities because it's hard to find a paying and legit bounty campaigns these days. However, bounty hunters must also set their standards and must rid of campaigns which are offering too low payments. Bounty hunters play a vital role in promoting and advertising different projects so everyone must know their worth.

It is really madness from some of these developers, it shows that they don't respect us and they lack respect for our work also, why would someone actually allocate such amount for a job that will take thousands of people weeks to complete, do they really think that it is very easy to do, I think that you are kind of right, it needs to get to that stage where we have to just start ignoring some of these projects and stop being desperate, they use us for a work of millions and then pay penny.

I see those projects as being greedy and some of them are the types that usually end up being a scam project. The allocation must at least be moderate, they should not allocate too much and they should not allocate too low, because most high allocations too that I have seen are the worst, they end up not even paying a dime.

The question is how to identify the mentioned type of bounty campaigns at all? I agree with not promoting the scam projects but the legit projects have reliable bounty campaigns which never disappear with the bounty allocation. It is not acceptable to continue the bounty campaigns which doesn't treat the bounty participants with respect, there are alternatives for us.

Of course, there is some correctness in your words, but you probably don’t understand that for many, any opportunity to earn it is like a breath of fresh air. On the other hand, if the award is small, then you think this is a project in which it is unnecessary to participate, but what if these projects turn out to be successful and it is their tokens or coins that will give X. What then? So you offer participants to sit and wait for a miracle? If so, then give us information on how and where to participate, I would be grateful to you for such information, but what am I there, many would say thank you. But alas, there is no such information. I believe that everyone has the right to decide what to do and where to participate. As for responsibility, in this case, the participant cannot be held responsible for participating in a particular project to others, at most only to himself. And why is everyone trying to make the bounty participants extreme and guilty of something?

Promoting just any campaign is at the sole discretion of the hunter you can't decide for a hunter what to promote and what not. If a hunter decides to promote for low pay, so be it. Even huge allocation can't be guaranteed for project success.

 You can't really blame those bounty hunters especially newbies or Jr. members in a bid to earn reasonable profits they participates in every bounties without any regards to the payment allocated to such bounties after all they can join as many social media campaigns as possible at the end they would gather every tokens earned so as to earn bigger profits whereas at the end of the campaign some hunters earns less than $10 for a 3 months bounty campaign, the OP had made a good suggestion if hunters starts boycotting lower bounty allocations the promoters will a reason to increase their allocations.

Have you seen many airdops who have much more allocation?
They always are for few pennies ,nothing more but if we take into account the bounty amounts in recent months then airdop could be better than that :D

I also do not understand why people go for those bounties with so little allocation maybe they just dont read the thread.

I don't see anything wrong with bounty hunters promoting low-reward projects. First of all this is done by bounty hunters beginners who are developing in this industry and they learn a lot thanks to such projects. Usually such projects do not deceive their investors and bounty hunters. Therefore, people do not leave the cryptocurrency industry disappointed. Secondly, it is a profitable business if you focus on the number.

I try to calculate reward, first I check allocation then number of bounty participants and wage approximate reward, and join bounty at late stage. I also don't understand why would they accept low reward, why to work for less if you can get more, either they generally fail to do math or they join something just to join something.

Suppose everyone stops participating in companies with a small allocation. What will the projects do?
They will increase allocation, but this does not mean that at the end of the bounty program we will get more than before.
A lot of companies deliberately overstate alleged rewards to attract more people to the company, and pay pennies as a result

most prize hunters, of course before participating in promoting the project, they first see the allocation that will be given by the gift executing manager itself. if indeed the rewards are given in small amounts, it will likely reduce the interest of the participants themselves. they do not want the work that he does to promote related projects only be paid in small amounts and not worth what they expect

i think irs ok as long as they get payment. i know i many poeple though i am ever promoting such campaign, because we dont know if it bad, though i already analyze that campaign.
i start to join with big allocation but i got nothing too. its like they are same. so i try to start what i believe

My friend was a bounty hunter last 2017 when crypto was very lucrative, but I think he stopped last year as it seems that most bounty campaigns now are a waste of time. You need time and patience to research more about the campaign before you conclude that joining it will be worth all your hard work. With a lot of campaigns going on today, you really need a keen eye to details before you could spot a good one.

it is their own wish that no one can prohibit it, I will follow the campaign to see the allocation first, if a little I will leave it, and not necessarily the project will succeed.
usually people who join such small allocations are those who follow all bounties so there is no need to think about allocations because they are involved in many projects.

You have a point some developers are just give small reward and bounty bounty hunters work the task for 3 months I think it's not worth it. There's a lot of way to earn in crypto choose that fit to your skills and project that give you fair wages for your work. Bounty hunters need to give importance their selves not just grab all bounty and earn nothing.

For new generations of hunters. They just keep joing airdrop and bounty even the budget is low and high no matter how is the status of thw project whether its no good review, lack team communication, no vision and etc. For them as long as they can join and do some task to earn money, they already satisfied. Unlike before some really, earned huge money but they of course do research on the projects.

The problem is that most bounty hunters especially newbies just promote any project that come their way, most times they don't care to do research, all they want is to just get paid with the token not minding If the token has volume for trades, and this happens most especially if it's a trading bounty. Hunters should ways to research so as not to waste their time.

Become bounty hunter is not easy but you have take funny moment with bounty campaign have you joined, never worried if you miss chance payment at one bounty campaign because you have many chance with other bounty campaign, you have working hard with bounty campaign for get much money with bounty campaign you participated, never give up when faced with bounty campaign less reward payment.

Bounty hunters will face a lot problem during their bounty campaign because once after the bounty, sometimes the company will not pay or there won't be any value to the coin. Before joining every company seems to be perfect and once after collecting enough, we will find the real behaviour of the company. That's why we should always move to another bounty.

i am very disapointed in every hunters in this street of crypto has lot dont even read the rules talkless of knowing wat the over is while some never even think of the team profile the project use an other things that need to be consider so as to know which one are to engage in,  even some would promise the earth and heaven but when it get distibution and listing the is when problem will start and that kills the project as the team is also a scammer .

As I see it, there's no problem for bounty hunters in joining low allocation campaign. I even admire them for having a lot of time to do so. But I'm not saying that bounty hunters should not know their worth. Of course, they know it more than you. If they are comfortable doing it, then by all means they are free to do it.

Also, let me point it out for you, not all bounty hunters are just bounty hunters. Some of them really supports the company they are promoting regardless of the bounty. They believe so much on that certain project that they dont mind the low bounty.

of course we as a bounty hunters we dont consider our selves small or not important   . we bounty hunters plays a big role on the success of the campaign/project . picking up small time campaigns that pays less does not mean that we are cheap  .  somtimes we are just trying to be practical here becuase you know bounty hunting these days are not really good as the bounties before  .  its rare to find a paying bounty , so seeing a small paying  bounty is a hell lot better than not getting paid or to be choosy and wait forever while you starve your self and your family

We can't blame every bounty hunters when they promoting too low offer in promoting project because all we know how hard to find legit and project that will be long last. Now that price of bitcoin is continue to fall we have no choice to accept the fact that we need to do everything to survive. I hope we can found a good project that every hunters fell their worth.

Following a project we have to see how much the allocation funds are offered if the funds are small, I will not participate in the project because later the payment is definitely not satisfying especially when we spend so long, then this we have to consider.

I think that it is necessary to promote not projects that offer great rewards, but projects that offer to pay for the work of bounty hunters with Ethereum or Bitcoin every week. Promise you a big reward there is no problem. Problems begin to appear when you start to receive your rewards, which are worth less than the promised amounts.

I often skipped this kind of bounty,  but sometimes I look at the time duration and the available bounty project.  Anyway, I think the bounty allocation is influenced by the bounty manager.  Probably as in probably the bounty manager is too greedy to give the real allocated token to the participants.  The best thing to do with this kind of project is ignore it.

It's not the allocation it's the potential of the coin, bounty hunters look for the long term concept of the coin, some coins that have been launch 2017 are not here anymore, and what you do with your coin if it is not going to get listed in exchange, you will end millions of worthless coins in your wallet, I rather have a few thousand which will worth 50 cents in the future.

People are promoting some shit which will return either nothing or trash, for example a lot of people have promoted CurioInvest some days ago and have gotten $5/$10 worth of token for promoting 3/4 weeks. How shit is this!!!

At least in this case they got some reward. I know bounty campaigns such as Selfllery, which went on for more than a year and even after that refused to pay any sort of reward for the bounty campaign participants. If I am not wrong, after one and half years, they came up with a KYC requirement and this made sure that 90% of the participants won't get any rewards (there was no such requirement when the campaign started). And from what I have heard, even those who submitted the KYC documents haven't got any rewards till now.

Indeed, now this is not an unnatural thing. but it has become commonplace when we promote and get payments that are not in accordance with what they write. the estimation is just a fraud so it attracts people to join the project

CurioInvest's Bounty allocation is indeed small at 25,000 CUR and many participants join in this bounty and therefore they get a small reward of around $ 10.
But sometimes the bounty with a small allocation is promising and the exact payment of the token also has a value compared to a large allocation but there is no value for what to promote if we do not receive money.

Must be the bounty allocation, some bounty hunters don't bother to investigate the worth of bounty allocations and when they get paid it will not worth much, just because you get 1million of tokens doesn't mean it will worth much

I think bounty campaign participants usually cannot appreciate themselves because they might be tempted by very large prizes so they do a variety of ways to be able to generate many benefits from being a bounty campaign participant.

Even the big prizes don't motivate the bounty hunters for varius reasons, the bounty allocation can be misleading for bringing the many bounty hunters. The bounty rewards don't worth to spend a time promoting the project but the choices are limited for the bounty hunters. Especially inexperienced bounty hunters don't have an idea how to choose the reliable project as a bounty participant.

The main issue is we all live in different parts of the world where living costs are different. A young man say in Africa living with his parents with no rent to pay and not many expenses, will likely be happy to earn 100 bucks a month from BOUNTIES, as apposed to say someone like myself in Europe who has full bills and a mortgage to pay. The earning is relative to each person's circumstances and demographic. I do not fault those who go after anything for cheap because what we may think of as not much in earning, might make a whole lot of difference to a person living in a cheaper country and who perhaps lives with Parents and doesn't have many outgoings, like a fully fledged Adult has. I do prefer though those bounties that have limited members joining say the signature campaigns, which at least might provide a decent chunk of change after the bounty is over.

You're right about that but some bounty hunters dont care about the allocation as long as they can earn.

But the sad part of this is you're not even sure if the tokens has worth in the end.

I think we have different reasons on why we chose to participate regardless of the amount that we can possibly earn, but think if this specific project is worth for your time and effort.

You care very much about warning us all not to promote projects with low allocations, but I think this is not a bad idea given the market situation is still weak and there are projects that are successful even though it does not generate large profits and I think it is enough to enjoy it rather than not at all pay.

That is the lesson for the bounty hunters. They should not rely on doing bounty hunting to make their ends meet. It is best for them to find a stable source of income just like a job and save some of their salary to build another source of income just like a business and that is when they can do some bounty hunting to kill their time and also to get a chance to earn a little bit of money.

Crypto trading and bounty hunting is something which we should not depend upon for making a living. These can be done part time. We should have a proper business or a proper day job to fulfil the expense of yourself and our family.
Also these days bounty earning are close to nothing just like the earning from faucets or maybe a little better than faucets. :)

This is impossible, so as every newcomer on forum which received opportunity establish signature wants earn not many for their posts. And companies which make advertising on our forum, as times and are targeted on such poor fellows, which perhaps live in very poor countries and 8 dollars for them this big money. But alas, the era of earnings on the bounty has ended, time to accept it and look for other ways to profit.

We can't really control them as anything that has a value even if its low, they'll probably work on it. Some bounty hunters have enough time to waste and only a few make their own research first before joining any campaigns. I've joined bounty campaigns years ago and it was better than today since the value of cryptocurrencies that time is something worth spending time, unlike today.

But if you joined a bad project this way is not worth it also. Some of bounty token that i haven't sold yet has no value right now. So , the key is selecting the good project that will valueable in the future

So, you mean that people that are promoting small budget projects are not respecting themselves? I think that people that are promoting projects that promise two million dollars as rewards should think one more time about this decision.

Why do you always give not respect for bounty hunter? do you hate bounty hunter participants? You have looking for how many ICO success with sold out on hard cap and how the maximum working by bounty hunter to promote ICO, without bounty hunter not one ICO can be success and no one investor will know with ICO, but when price dump after distribution for bounty hunter is not bounty participants fault because the bounty reward very small and team have much coin in their wallet, ask him why price down.

If there have not no trust team with developing activity and no have future more planing for increase their market value then what's the benefits for lot of bounty amount pool?
Hy man look here real and trust project do not follow bounty hunter their want carefully follow project investor profits. Since like real project will never give lot of token announced for bounty hunter but yes fake project will give you huge amount lol.

All bounty hunters should think twice before promoting token based projects, they are always useless projects and i heard from a source now that it only takes 50$ to build a ico website and tokens, imagine that, the easier it gets the more scammers will keep evading crypto space

If I'm going to promote a bounty campaign, I prefer looking on the potential in the market even if they allocate $1000 if it has a potential I will choose it than the other campaign that allocates millions and failed to get in the market or only worth less than a cent, it's good when bounty was at its heyday but not possible anymore you will be respecting yourself more if you stop believing that this coin is the next big thing online according to their developer.

Bounties will low allocations makes sense than bounties with high allocation, i prefer to promote bounties with few thousands worth of tokens than promote projects that promises millions of dollars as reward for bounty hunters, they did that to lure hunters

I am also a bounty hunter and to be honest i am not earning a good profit anymore by joining bounties, that's why i decided to stop joining bounties right now i am more focus on trading and weekly campaign until i found again a perpect bounty like what happen last 2017.

The current age of propaganda is right. But it is not right to waste human capital by promoting too much. Hunter's and be aware. People think of the currency market as a negative for the Scrum project. Hunter has to solve this problem now. They are involved with the campaign.

Each bounty campaign does have a different allocation and the bounty hunter can choose according to his wishes. There may be projects that have large bounty allocations, but if bounty hunters don't believe in the sales results, then it's just useless. I think the bounty hunter will choose a project that has a small allocation but has been traded in the market because of the clear value of the reward

Most of the hunters are impatient. The projects owners treat hunters like shit because they know that the hunters will stay with them no matter what they throw at them, therefore they take full advantage of this. You should work hard but you shouldn’t lower your status while doing that.

I also often join bounties with large allocations, such as 1 million dollar tokens, but what happens only to be junk tokens in sales does not reach their target and hunters can work for months but are of no value.
I often look for small allocation gifts because they are very promising like TEMTUM with an allocation of $ 50,000 in TEM tokens, but can be traded on a well-known exchange, but not currently distributed.

You can stop promoting bounty campaign with your facebook account keep make your account private with sharing good information for the public, but never give up you have other way for promoting bounty campaign by content creation, you can make article discuss about with your ICO coin and sharing information about which one good bounty campaign for joining.

It's sad to say that developers are being arrogant since they knew that bounty hunters will keep licking their ass no matter what they do. Knowing that bounty hunters will keep chasing them and allow things even to the point that they'll be treating like slaves but still hoping to get some shares from the bounty projects.

Pay respect to yourself and don't be a fool to keep following this kind developers. There's a lots of projects to sort it's your decision to seek for better team to support.

if you find a bounty with an allocation that is not in accordance with what you want, it is better to avoid it, don't bother and blame the manager / person who makes the bounty because we know that every quarter there is always a bounty that has a good allocation and has good potential, it's just we have to sort it out a little.

What do you mean by weekly campaigns? are weekly campaigns not bounties because i know there are few bounties like that, quit hoping for days like 2017 because you might have to wait for long, all these time that you wait few good projects are coming in

They consider bounty hunters worthless, because bounty hunters are still doing their best to meet the requirements on the cheap rewards they can receive.So it will serve as eye-openers to bounty hunters. Becawe are tired of doing so here, the rewards that we receive in return for the work we do should also be right.

the allocation given is indeed the main point before the bounty hunters do research in it. if the funds provided are not in accordance with the existing work, you should forget about the project. after that you should do some research so that you can ensure the authenticity of the project if all things have been considered then join if the campaign is profitable for you

I can agree with that.  Why would I spend 3 months promoting a project just to recieve around $15 in shares. The bounty hunters are what decides if a project will even be successful or not. Odds are if the bounty allocation is only $1000. Then they probably do a premine of 20% or so. Itry to stay away from those types of projects!

You are right for the most part. But if you do find a legit altcoin project you could make alot of money. I got in on one last year I found it and signed up for the very last week. In that last week in only having to do 10 posts I made 1.5 Ethereum. I was so stoked. Lesson learned is if you can find a successful project then you can make way more then you would with a BTC bounty. But your odds of hitting a gold mine are way harder. Where as with a bitcoin bounty you atleast know you will get paid!

even if I see a small budget for a bounty campaign, but I understand that the project is very promising, then I participate. even 10 dollars earned in such a campaign can become hundreds after some time

It is better to trade a coin, depend on that and be more focused on it, than to focus on bounty. The reason being that, you might spend days, months and if care is not taken, over a year on bounty and still not get a reasonable result. A team that knows the worth of bounty hunters will not cheat them, except the team has the aim of using and dumping them, which is another form of scam - there are quite a number of them.

Sometimes the bounty hunters don't focus too much on how much allocation is given and they only participate in projects that they think are good for promotion. And when the project ended and they just found out that what they got was not as big as they thought and sometimes it had no value.

most bounty hunters are disappointed at the end because they did not do the analysis at the beginning of the campaign and were too rushed to see a new campaign that gave a large allocation without first seeing developments in the project.

your post is obvious. you are also new to the bounty hunting. untill your payment is been delayed and the most anticipating project you though that will pay huge amount disappear leaving you in misery. then you will understand that this bounty of a thing is some thing else.
. 

The problem is that developers can name any amount in which they value their tokens allocated to the bounty campaign. This figure can be 10 000 and 100 000 and even a million. However, in the end it can decrease hundreds of times. Therefore, the bounty campaign should be chosen primarily for the project, so that its tokens are able to grow in price. Understand that? After all, you can promise any amount, but the main thing is that the project was able to fulfill its promise.

They can promise any amount to the bounty hunters. But in the end, the rewards that a bounty hunter is going to receive will depend on the success of the project. If a project is a successful one, then the campaign participant can easily convert his tokens to either fiat currency or BTC/ETH using any of the major exchanges. But in case the project fails, then the bounty hunter will be left with a few useless tokens in his ERC-20 wallet, which is virtually worthless. The campaign manager can claim that he had paid out the rewards as promised. But the bounty hunter is left high and dry here. His work has gone unrewarded.

It depends entirely on how good the project is, even if the project is a very solid project there is probability that the coin or token will add value, i don't run away from bounties with low allocations as far as the project is good enough, its way better than promoting bounties with big allocation

If we promote any scam or useless project intentionally, then we are also responsible for the criminal act, we become a part of that crime. We should seek/promote legal, legit opportunities that will really help other. only then, crypto will become useful and crypto will be considered as main stream of finance,transaction and economics along with fiat. I know a lot of bounty people who join into any project without understanding the project. i never promote gambling, cause if a single person gets involved into gambling after watching my promotion, i will be responsible for his dark future. Respect yourself brothers

It depends on individuals, campaigns are a privilege and your account are worth only if you post good contents.

Are you telling that by looking at the project you will understand whether the project will be successful or not, i participated in campaigns earlier but then stopped because there were too many assholes running the campaign and they too even helped the scammers in fooling us and hence i stopped joining in the altcoin campaigns and once the bear market started i lost my interest in the market for a while.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this, I have seen $300 allocated to a bounty campaign and numerous people were rushing to enroll in it, I was just thinking that those set of bounty hunters are part of the problem we have in this space, people are not respecting themselves at all and that is why they are treated anyhow by campaign managers.

It is indeed noticeable for the past few years. There are plenty of bounty hunters who roams around the forum promiting bounty project that are not even worth it due to the low value of profit it gives them. We should start reflecting on our selves and start questioning if we do the serve those harsh treatments from those abusive projects. We should make sure that we get the best from the project we are joining so if we want to show how much we value our self worth, we should start by simply being careful and knowledgeable on finding a good project that gives us what we deserve.

For me, it's not bad to participate in a bounty campaign even if it only had small allocations for bounty hunters. Atleast i know that the project is good and is very legit to pay all the bounty hunters in the end. There may be numerous campaigns out there that are offering big allocations for bounty hunters but in the end, no one gets paid because the project itself is a big scam.

There are really hunters who dont care on how much they will get for their hardwork and not conducting a research if they participate in a worthy one. However bounties that has small allocations doesnt indicate its a scam project. Though they are paying low and not worth the effort it depends on the project itself on how it will perform as time passes especially this bearish season.

When it comes to bounty hunting each one has their own reason to promote or participate on that campaign if they think the allocation is not that big but the coin has a good potential in the market, we cannot stop them to make that decision to participate, but it's a different story if they continue to participate,  if the project is tagged as a potential scam, people should stop promoting if the project is proven to be scam or investors will be tagged as accomplished.

at this moment really difficult to find projects that will give us worthed money.90% give us reward that not equivalent with our hardwork for several months.so , for bounty hunter working in many campaign will  give them high possibility to find good campaing.they do this although without deep analisys .

The new thing i have learnt about bounties is not to rely on bounties will bug allocations worth millions of dollars, i prefer bounties with 20k to 50k bounty allocation, the bounties with low allocations always pay, i haven't come across one that doesn't pay after bounty ends

This year the bounty is so sad because many people cannot make a profit and in my opinion people who are new to the bounty will not be able to accept this but they have to get used to the problems that will be faced with bounties. that indeed everything is not as easy and as much as they think

Way back 2017, just correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I remember, the lower the allocation in a project, the higher its market value would become compared to other projects having larger token allocation. But things could go different because of the market behavior at this moment. What happens nowadays is that, the market value of the tokens are falling in a sudden upon being listed on exchanges.

I am always on the watch for projects that are already trading on exchanges,with good volume but i am sure they have low bounty rewards, this type of bounties are the best because you will surely get paid, that bounty reward has been put into consideration by the teams, its better than promoting new projects that might never pay

Social media bounty hunters doesn't care if the token assign to bounty hunters are small or not. Thousands of them will just join without knowing the total token allocation in dollar.
Signature bounty hunters are not like that cos they will first of all analyze the project whether it's legit, profitable or not before joining it

If the allocation is even very small and the duration is short, it would have been another different case, but how can a project place a small allocation and then still have the project extend to months which I think that it is not a fair bargain considering the time that they all spend in promoting a project that is meant to generate millions of dollars.

This make me typically agree with the op that we have to really respect ourselves and not just be taking any project like we are desperate for it, we should always go after a project that value our time with their reward and also the update of their project from time to time. Mots projects that I look for right now are project that have not more than 1 to 2 months at most, with that, I can quickly decide the fate of the project.

I wonder where are this hunters from because I always saw campaigns that pays them like 5-10 usd in 4 months of doing its a very small amount to buy even diaper much better to work in an offline jobs rather than wasting time promoting bounty for a penny think twice hunters before joining bounty projects calculate first the estimated earning. 

1000 dollars is already a huge money but as long as they arent going to hire lots of users  . budget management is the key and im sure that 1000 dollars budget will go along way  . 8 dollars  for an airdrop is also not bad all  . airdrops are not hard as a bounty and besides can you find 8 dollars on the street ? no right ? so for the people that wants to earn extra income , better if he will not be too choosy because money is now hard to find these days   .

This is a separate problem affecting the bounty hunters and there is nothing anybody can do about it, is either we join such program or we walk away.

On the other hand, i think the amount being paid to participants by the project does not really matter but the sincerity of their payment and the worth of the coin.

If you joined in a bounty campaign you agree to everthing that will happen icluding the risk of.not getting paid after the bounty ends.  If you will not promote the project you joined in you wont get any stakes, even if the reward is low bounty hunters will grab it .

It's easy to say that you will get some part of that $1,000 along the way but it's not that 100% sure that you will get some part of it. Some bounty campaign may promise to their participants to give the allocated funds after the campaign is done. But some of them may have change the rules before the end date of the campaign and it turns out that they are starting to scam their participants.

I have seen a campaign with a $400 bounty allocation and hundreds of hunters enrolled because not was a trading token but then again, what do you expect when some hunters are so uncaring about the kinds of projects they enroll in, you would see a project with scam written all over it and some hunters would still promote them just for the sake of promoting it because of their huge bounty allocation, it's disgusting to see hunters promoting a project without carrying out even the most basic research about the project.

When we talk about hunters respecting themselves, it's not just about the bounty allocation in my opinion, it should also be the quality of project, as a hunter, you shouldn't be caught dead promoting a substandard project.

It is so pathetic to see that bounty hunters have neen reduced to this level. Projects know that no matter how small the allocation is there will be bounty hunters that will participate in the bounty.  If all hunters can boycott such bounty campaigns then many projects will be forced to reconsider on low bounty budget and application. On this note i will advice hunters to participate in bounties that worth their time and input
