Bitcoin Forum

To all bounty hunters on this wonderful forum i want to know if its advisable to continue with the bounty you have been promoting for 12weeks that got extra 8weeks added more, have you promote projects this long that ends up with good end results? Thank you

I have participated in a number of projects that experienced an additional duration of several weeks. But this happened around 2017. And at that time almost all who received extraweek succeeded in the project. For now, I suggest you check beforehand how many sales the project has received. If it is large, I suggest you continue to follow. If it's small, you have to think about it because you don't want to waste your time later

This is not advisable for me unless the campaign is also increasing the allocated reward for the bounty campaign participants. However, you may take a closer look at the project itself. If it is more of a scam than a legit project, leave it. It is better to waste 12 weeks promoting a scam than waste 8 weeks more. I have promoted all kinds of projects in the past. Most projects that extend and extend are worthless projects. Which project is it by the way? Is it the one whose signature you are wearing now?

I have done it before and it did not worth it, there is a reason for them to extend the bounty. Usually, it is because they do not meet their target on the sales, by extending the bounty and the sales time, they are hoping they can hit the target in the sales.
I have participated in 2 or 3 projects before, and all of them gave me nothing. They ran away because they can not afford to run the project with limited money.

in my experience, when this happens is bad news because it generally means that the project is not getting the deisred investment and they are delaying the end of the ICO/IEO in the hope they can get a few more USD
But it can be due to other reasons
Keep your eyes open and ask them on social channels

I've seen worse. A 6-month bounty program was then extended 2 times for 3 months. I remember a bounty program that tooked about 50 weeks.
If the project worth it, then you should continue. But if they won't pay at the end, I suggest you leave.

That depends on your decision and analyzation regarding the project. If you are thinking if that was a good project and you can continue your work and if you are thinking if that was not a good project again and just try to leave your bounty campaign.
I have promoted some campaigns that almost need a half of the year but again the result will depend on the developer itself. There is no guarantee if your that project will be successful in the future.
There was a lot of scam projects that used long term promotion too.
My best advice for you to do your analyzation again, you have joined it in your own risk.
To ask other about that will not give you a lot of solution.
But in my experience only some of long term campaign have ended successfully when the rest become scam projects.

Yes, it was before, it extended for another month and it becomes successful.
Most of the time, those projects who extend their bounty campaigns have one reason such as their raised funds is not enough to run the project.
If the bounty campaign successfully raised enough funds, then the result may be good, otherwise, the project will fail if they don't collect more funds even after extending it.

Do not waste your time, if you have already promoted the project for 12 long weeks then your stakes are safe so try another bounty project, although if you don't see any good bounty project its better to keep promoting the extended bounty till you see another good ones

There is no more good bounty anymore. It is easy to leave but hard to find a good one. I think he should consider first about if project worth it waiting and keep working.

Yes, it's really hard to find a good project, but considering how long he stays at the project, he should continue and finish the job. If the project has decided to extend, then be it.
Until he finds another project he might participate with, he should stay, so his long stay on his current campaign will not put to waste.

Its up to you to decide with this, if you think the payment you will recieve is enough for you to add another 8 weeks.
I myself was not agree with this idea, they should add allocated funds to hunters if they want to add another week of promotions.

from my experience, rarely the results are good. on average when I joining in the bounty which was extended the results must have been very bad and worthless.
in other means that the bounty is extended because the project has failed, like failed in crowdfunding, investor didn't interesting with the project.
You are just wasting your time. leave it.

Something tells me that the results is bad already that is why they extend the bounty but if the project haven't start fund raising or the fund raising was programmed to finish at the last week of the extra week added to the bounty then its better to finish what you start

You already work for 12 weeks with that campaign and maybe if you leave you will no longer qualified to get your reward so If I were you, if you want to leave then ask the campaign manager if its ok and if not you'd better to continue and wait for another 8 weeks to see if its really worth it. A big risk if a bounty has extended because you don't know if its still worth it or not, you have to take the risk and make a good decision.

I think it depends on the project. If the developer team is able to provide a rational explanation to bounty participants and also the community, I think the bounty hunter can accept that explanation and continue the campaign. But I think it all depends on us, whether we will continue to the campaign or not because usually every bounty campaign gives the option to leave the campaign in the middle of the road and the stake obtained will remain safe

In my opinion this is a confusing choice, I mean if you go automatically the OP's efforts for 12 weeks will be in vain and unpaid but if the OP persists and continues 8 more weeks it is also risky. I think his decision depends on the OP whether he believes in the project in question.

Actually I've already tried to participate and promote a bounty that are extending their projects way back when I am still a bounty hunter. Being a bounty hunter is very hard sometimes because of those projects or bounties that are extending for some weeks and after the bounty or program they will just scam the bounty hunters and they will not paid them. I've really get some bad experience for those bounties that are extending too long.

I would prefer to look for another bounty, but before you do that you have to ask the manager if you don't continue the extra week whether it will affect the previous stake if yes then you have to stay there. See behind the reason to adding extra week if the reason is because hasn't reached the softcap or hardcap, then that's indication the project is less investor interest, also see the bounty pool increase or not, if not you will get less prize with more long time work.

Additional weeks, this is one form of team effort to maximize sales. The longer the campaign runs, the more promotion about the project the participants will publish. But not many participants expect additional weeks in the campaign because the work is tedious and again uncertain whether the results will match what has been done.
Usually the team will also give appreciation to participants who continued the work by adding campaign allocations and some managers allow participants to stop without any consequences but with some conditions such as reporting on the thread bounty or to the telegram community admin.

It's not good if it happens in the bounty ico token case it's a waste of time and it's not worth what you get ,some cases with a probability of 85% not in accordance with the what was planned or analyzed ,tokens are not sold as targeted and make additional promotions so bad

If they won't pay at the end? how will you know if they will pay or not? well my own advise is to make your choice within youself, if it ends up bad you should learn from your mistake, its really unpredictable, most times its garbage and few times it will worth it

Some are worse than that. Ask the manager first, if you discontinued your work will it delete your previous stakes or not. And regarding continuing or not, it's your call. No one really knows if at the end of the day that bounty was a good one.

In most cases nowadays, it's hard to find the so called "good bounty". You'll get paid at the end, but it doesnt mean the coin/token will have value.

As far as I am concerned, this must be seen from the reasons why it must be extended. If the answer is because tokensale doesn't meet the hardcap, I think extending the bounty period is very useless. In the sense that the results are not necessarily proportional to the additional time. Is there a guarantee that during the extra time the tokensale will meet the hardcap?!
If we talk in 2017, of course, this is a very promising thing, because the selling price is definitely above the tokensale price. But the reality now is that the market is not so passionate that it affects all crypto, whether it's existing or newly created.

I'm not an expert on this but I have experienced before and ask for extra months to promote their project which ends up to be a scam they are also delayed paying participants after the campaign end. So I lost faith in any new project out there I'm just wasting my time promoting them that is why I stop instead and I let my signature clean.

We don't know what are legit and what are fake projects so if you don't want to waste your time you can stop promoting them but if you believe that they are legit why not stay promoting them. If they are real people who develop the project and they also have local press we can say that this project is legit but if they doesn't have that thing it's a 50/50 if they are legit or fake.

Why not tell us what project you are talking about and maybe we can check if the project has the potential to grow in the future or a scam project.

Extended project means they haven't fund enough money as their target. That means low interest from the investors and i think it's not worth to continue the bounty because there are newborn projects maybe one of them is good and we have to move to another project and let the new people join the extension bounty

Well you can do nothing else if they have something like in the rule saying you won't get paid if you leave in the middle. You only have to continue promoting them till the end.

Investors or bounty hunters don't much like shifting the dates of the ICO and bounty end date (which is related to ICO end date as well) still I have seen some projects achieve success in the past (like 2-3 years ago) but situation now is very different so I don't think its gonna work like that now.

many bounty campaign didnt pay their participants work.they just take advantages from bounty hunter ,sometimes if they pay ,allocation will reduced alot and we could not do thing.if bounty have several round ,we have to ask to team or bounty manager ,could us leave campaign and our work still calculated.if they decided wont pay our work if leave it will harmed us,and the decision back to us again.but personally i am never continue campaign that have extra week.it represent they failed to attract investor with projects quality.

I doubt it if the OP will be qualified to get reward for the eight weeks work I also participated in a bounty similar to that one after promoting them for 12 weeks they extended it for another 8 weeks I Pmed the bounty manager and notify him about leaving the campaign I was informed  that I won't get payment for the job done, this is very annoying and those are one of the risks as a bounty hunter, another issue is the coin being worthless after listing and many more.

usually such a project or moreover an ico project that adds a longer duration or about 8 more weeks is a warning for you and other participants to make a direct decision. between continuing and leaving are equally at risk, but in my personal opinion the 75% percentage of such projects is not will succeed. so, determine and decide before your efforts become in vain.

It depends on how much you believe in the project, I have seen a campaign that added 16 weeks after the initial 4 weeks expired, but I think you should talk to the bounty manager, many of them are pretty understanding in situations like this and they would agree to retain your stakes even if you leave the campaign because they know that it wasn't part of the initial agreement, but if you decide that the project is worth it, then you keep on working for it and hope they keep to their word about the payment of the bounty when the 8 weeks elapses.

If there is an extra pool added as well and the project is worth of my time then there won't be a problem, but some times some bounty would want to extend bounty duration without increasing the bounty pool, if the project is legit and has a future I wouldn't mind staying, or if I have a reason to leave I expect bm to be understanding and reserve my earned stakes.

It is indeed tiring to know that most of the bounty projects have extended their campaign period as well as bounty length but if it would be for the good of the project for a long run, I think it would be worth waiting. If they won't do such adjustment, the project might fail its crowdsale and might be unsuccessful. Be patient for now and be considerate with the sudden changes because the market behvior is really becoming a problem for most of the projects in the market.

That would be 20 weeks or over 5 months of promotion, check the bounty rules if you have the option to leave the campaign and retain your stakes, then you can leave but if the rules say that you have to finish the bounty before you can get your stakes then you have no option, you are a hostage of their rules, I have experienced that in the past, now I make sure that when I'm joining a campaign I make sure that I will retain my stakes even if I leave the campaign.

It's your decision. If you think that it's worth to continue participating to that bounty with the additional 8 weeks, go for it. But if you think that there's already a lot of time you have dedicated to it and you need to find another it, think of it and check the rules if it's okay to leave.

It's more about your wise decision making and everyone can say, "yes continue" or "stop, find another one".

It depends upon the potential of the project. I have done it before and it was just a waste of time since the project that I have promoted for more than 20 weeks still failed and ended up as a shitcoin. It happens of the given time for the crowd sale isn't enough for them to succeed. If you see a good potential out of that project, then it's fine to continue.

If you feel like the project is dubious then it's better to quit it already. Try finding fact on that project in their site or even in their telegram account. If it's in the rules that they pay you even if you leave the campaign then better do it now than missing other promising bounty campaigns.

The first thing you need to know is why they extended the week for their bounty campaign. Such situations I have experienced and often it is because they have not reached their target funding to continue ICO campaign. So they added weeks to the bounty to gain more awareness of their campaign to attract more investors.

you should stop participating on it because your just wasting efforts and time . In fact 4 weeks is enough to participate  when it comes bounties and no need to worry if you left because if its not a scam project you are still eligible for the payments . So that's really a big mistake mate  wherein until now you are still assuming despite the lies their making. Wth?  Are you sure that there's still some legit project nowadays ,especially through bounty campaign?  I don't think so...

Really tough decision making but I agree with you. It's best to quit if you are doubting the project, there's a lots of available options that you might missed if you proceed and participate with that extension period. Both sides have its respective risk, if you continue and the project turned to be scam
then you lost your precious time, else, if the project is legit and you didn't continue then you lose your chance, and like what you have said better to coordinate with the campaign manager and ask if you can save your stakes after removing the signature code.

Consideration of the addition of the allocation and the success of the project when funding might be one of my reasons why it persisted even though it would be extended. but if it turns out that it doesn't match the expectations then I will come out. no longer want to waste time on campaigns that ultimately cannot benefit us. we better find a new one. several times I made the decision and after I checked when it turned out to be right, many had problems

the extension of bounty campaigns is a major problem immediately after late kyc launch and also reduction of the pool.

basically, there would be 2 factors that could mitigate the problem.
-1) the pool is increased
-2) there is the possibility to get out without loss of stake

that would be the 2 minimum requirements to make such an extension reasonably acceptable. but even that is unfortunately often not so.

The reason for extending bounty campaigns is usually due to the fact that the project does not have enough funds. Therefore, the team members of the project often extend their pre-sale time and bounty campaigns in order to obtain sufficient funds. This time can then be extended again. So I suggest you do some more research before you continue your bounty campaign. If you still trust the project at the end of the research, continue the bounty campaign.

Actually, I often find projects like that, usually it happens because the teams can't reach the funds that have been targeted, so that extends the week so we prize hunters feel upset because the results we get don't match the time we've spent, but there are also some that give a gift as close as we wish.

I have experiences with many bounty campaigns that have been extended for more weeks. Some of them have given good results for bounty hunters even after extending bounty weeks. But some of them do not increase the size of bounty pool even after extending bounty weeks. In that case, I quit if the project seems not so much profitable. Or if the project seems profitable in the future, I would continue.

This should be an additional bonus to the bounty hunters because more work should requires more allocations of tokens and not only stakes.

Bounty hunters should understand that any project that added extra weeks to their bounty without increasing the token allocated for the program is likely to scam both investors and bounty hunters.

You know buddy promoting bounties in these forum has change a lot back then, that's why don't expect good and profitable results since they are creating a new norms, that very disadvantageous to the bounty hunters. Like what you said "adding more weeks of promotion" I think it should not be permitted without additional payment, or if the budget still the same that's not fair, aside from bounty payments are too lengthy before getting paid and the worst they locked your tokens for 6 months to 1 Year for me that's not good, that's why i was carefully examine some bounties gladly i found some bounties that still worthy to promote.

Usually if a project extends time for a bounty campaign we can assume that they want to do more marketing to promote their project. I think it's fine if they also add more funds to the bounty hunters. But if they don't add funding to that, then you are advised not to continue. We can think that they only want to use the hunters only for their personal gain, projects like this are fairly cunning and not committed.

I think it's a mixed feelings - in the sense that it might go well and at the same time it might not end well. I have participated in a campaign that extended for three more months and at the end it was worth it. A week upon listing my rewards hit over $3,000 which is something compared yo what one would've received in any regular Bitcoin signature campaign within that period. I have also taken part in a bounty that extended but ended up running away with investors money.

I've been to several bounties that have been extended for months. It is up to you if you think it is worth it or if you have any other bounties that could move to if you don't want to extend for a week or two. Some bounties don't let participants leave the bounty or else your stakes will be forfeited, in that case, you have no choice. Some bounties extend because they still lack fund to proceed with the project or they would like to gather bigger funds.

This depends so much on the coin you are promoting. But adding extra time means usually that there will just be more hands or bots to share the pot with, and by doing that diluting the price. It's awfully annoying and usually it reads in the small print that they have a right to do that. But i would rarely continue, it's never a good sign about the team itself when they decide to get more of free advertisement because they can, they will probably screw you over again, just because they can. Because why not?

It will all depend on the outcome of the project. No one can actually tell if the project will go well or not. Some project is actually being successful after extending the project for a couple of weeks, however, not all of them succeeded.
I have also participated in an extended project, but sad to say, it never becomes successful even after extending it for a month.
It is still a 50/50 chance, you just have to decide if you will stay or not.

If the company is legit and they allocate more funds to the bounty campaign I don´t have any problem to support them for a longer time.
But many companies misuse it and in the end of campaign they not pay bounty hunters, that makes me very very angry.

In my practice adding extra weeks is normal, I often met this. It also does not guarantee that the project will be successful. Participating in bounty campaigns you always run the risk of doing work for free.

It depends on the project that you are taking part in, if the project extends its bounty campaign for a purpose so that success in the project can be achieved, I don't think it's a bad thing to continue participating in it. So for me personally, it's better for you to observe every update made by the project and ask a few things that you want to know in the telegram and see how the team responds behind them.

Proceed with caution. Mostly they are adding up more weeks to finished their whole ICO, to meet the amount of funds to raise to called it successful. 12 weeks as a start is not that long to finish an ICO, last 2017, most of the projects took 4-7 months before they wrap it up, in my opinion, you are safe because 8 weeks is just 2 months, just finish it and keep posting, that is the only way to figure out the result.

If you win, then you earn, if you lose, then you learn.

I am tired with bounty campaign added extra weeks not correct with their first rule of bounty campaign week, I only join bounty campaign with phase five to seven weeks and very lazy for joining with bounty campaign running above ten weeks, how come if bounty campaign running above ten weeks and make extra week later, less payment reward with bounty campaign running above ten weeks.

But i think if the project bounty is not required us to do the extended bounty but we can still receive the rewards it's recommended to move to other bounty.
Extended bounty means the project is not yet fulfilled the target yet and it indicates the project was not attract investors interest. So, i think we should find a better project rather than waste our time there (but if the project reach it's success, we still get the reward though)

I often find bounties like this after finishing with 12 weeks then add another 4 weeks to do promotion for the project, but the addition of 4 weeks time must be added to the allocation, otherwise I will stop and let it go, whether for results or not depending on the project if they are honest and serious I am sure this will generate good profits.

It is not advisable to participate for 8weeks more unless you will no longer qualify if you left the campaign early, but there are some bounty manager that they are allowing to the participants to leave if there are extended weeks added. Just remember the more the weeks the least you can get from the allocation.

That's awful, but I've come to expect nothing less from these scammers even tho I don't participate in bounties myself.  You would have to be blind not to see all the scam accusations being leveled against project devs and bounty managers, and there have been *many* of them just in the last year alone.

Op, if you can get paid for the work you already did, I would ditch the bounty and find something else to do.  Find a signature campaign that pays with bitcoin if you're able to write constructive posts, because at least those are legitimate whereas the bounties paying in tokens...not so much.  Even if you do get paid your stakes, there is a good chance those tokens won't be worth your time when you go to sell them.

I'm not certain why a bounty would be extended, but it really doesn't sound like a good idea if I was a bounty hunter.  Just move on.

If they are going to pay with those extra weeks why not? They came short with the exact plan that why it is. They aren't forcing you either? are they? Besides such additional weeks is for the project to become successful though might as well participate to it, even though that you really came for the incentives then try to be sympathetic as well 'cause you already there from a long time.

I tried going to the Xcard bounty thread but I didn't see announcement about adding 8 weeks.

8 weeks would be another 2 months of job so I hope it would be worth while for campaigns hunters. I have joined to campaigns doing this and it end up not well. I know it may not be the the fault of the campaign manager but he allow himself to be used by the team. It would be worth if the coin will have a good price in the end and tokens distributed before the exchange listing.

This year I did not join the bounty project so much, because some of the projects that I participated in ended up being successful but the results were not so good, although there was an additional duration of the week, and if I joined now there was also an increase in the duration of about 3 weeks from the previous made in 8 weeks, and the results I can not predict whether it will be good or not.

You should just leave it, I think the bounty program that extends its campaign does not reach sales targets. That means the project that will be run by the developer is not good so investors are not interested in the project.

Well it depends in you if you like to continue to promote, I participated many campaigns that adding more weeks to promote their projects, some ends up with good result, but some not. They should add more tokens allocations if they like to add weeks to promote.

I am now participating in a campaign that will last almost 1 year in total. Why? Because I simply believe that these guys are serious and they are going to create really good stable coin that will finally give confidence in this industry. It is very important to choose legit bounty campaign at the start, especially when you are the signature participant because removing signature means in most cases campaign exclusion.

It depends, if I could leave the campaign and still get the rewards then I would do it because it's already enough to spend 12 weeks on that project and you could still get a decent reward for that project. AND if I would spend another 8 weeks on that project and ended up that project failed. It would be a dead sign for me.

There's no exact answer for this as it depends on the project you are involved. Extending a campaign sometimes do extend the distributed tokens and sometimes it's this amount of time could be considerable with the same amount. But you might also be getting nothing for the two further weeks yet you might get stuck with it as they don't allow to leave the campaign in the middle. If they do, you could decide for your own.

It's better than you taking part in a project campaign that ends when the token sale is complete. and the funny thing is there is no certainty even in they postpone the sale. I have participated in a campaign like this and finally came out. waste time when we are not clear when the promotion is completed plus payment which we also do not know whether it will actually pay or not. LOL

I have experienced a number of projects that did additional work on the campaign. as long as the project is still consistent, I will continue to work on it until the end of the project. but if the project does not require to continue and can stop, then I choose to stop and move to another project

I do have experience about that too, joined bounty campaign but we worked for around 6 months from 6 weeks only, they added more weeks because their ICO was failed at private sale, as well as to the first round of public sale, so they are extending their public sale as well as the bounty campaign. If you don't want to continue and wanted to quit, you may confirm it first the bounty manager if they will still pay you after deciding to not continue, if they agree that you can still be paid then go on, you may find another ICO, but if it is in the rules that you cannot removed your signature, or you should be active during the campaign, then it is up to you to give up or to continue.

yez,as bounty hunter we have to be smart when working in campaign.moreover in extended campaign,if there is chance to move without any rejection its better to move on other campaign that possible give us  more reward.extended campaign,in my opinion they need more time to attract investors.and usually it failed ,especially when traded in any exchanges .i am prefer working on campaign that dicipline with the time line.

last time I attended a bounty with a long duration of 9 weeks and after that they added another duration of 6 weeks, so a total of 15 weeks, and the results were quite satisfying because I could get almost $ 2000 from there, but at this time I suggest never to follow this because it is very difficult to ascertain whether or not it produces unless their sales are truly successful if not looking for bounties with shortweek duration only.

always when a project adding extra weeks of a bounty campaign it does not end with anything good. but now I am participating in the Cryptoknowmics project and they have extended the bounty campaign for 8 weeks. I continue to participate. What the results will be, I do not know yet

every project must be different in the stages of the managed bounty program, must have their respective strategies. if the project does not match the target being managed or the product promoted has not been reached to the maximum, so it is only appropriate if there is an extension to the bounty hunter program. I think it's more fun because we can get more rewards, and it becomes boring if there is an extra time. If your analysis is a real project, so go ahead and this is an opportunity for you to get more tokens.

what I know is that the bounty hunter program usually runs with several rounds and each round of token allocation is different.

New projects and bounty managers will always provide information about the projects they manage, if you are worried about the bounties you are participating in, it is better to complete the task on time according to the schedule they provide if the bounty is extended, there are projects that run more than 3 months to be able to share information on social media, to get more potential new investors.

The job of a bounty hunter is to promote the project, the more you promote the more new investors become aware so i don't see any thing wrong with additional weeks, since you have already started the bounty for weeks already i bet you do research on the project before promoting it.

Increasing the duration of the bounty is common to promote their projects so that their sales are better known to many people. Usually the addition of a bounty duration is only a few weeks and adjusts to the completion of their sales

Whenever extra weeks are added to the bounty campaign it can mean the following things :

1. The campaign is a success and they want to extend it to more weeks in order to extend the promo of the project

2. ICO's/IEO's is doing great and the marketing team decided to trow another round of coins into the bounty pool

3. They re-calculate the bounty stakes and if they low the rewards they can extend it for a couple of weeks ( this is a shady thing for a bounty to do )

Personally the 1 and 2 are the most usually reasons of why the bounty campaigns get extra weeks and you should enjoy it when it happens.

This is ridiculous to add extra weeks without adding up to the allocation. Any project that adds extra week is only necessary to add extra tokens to the pool. Well, I have promoted a project for over 50weeks. Team keeps extending the duration without adding up to the pool. At the initial bounty, pool was very cool. But by the end, a pool of 750k$ was drastically reduced to 250k$ you can imagine. Not just that, the token price crashed even before distribution. So I can vehemently say that 70% of projects that extends bounty don't end well.

It depends, are the developers increasing the reward? If not then they are stealing from you, originally you were supposed to work for your tokens during 12 weeks and now you need to work for the same tokens 8 additional weeks, they have added a 66% workload on you, unless everyone receives 66% more tokens then they are trying to pay you less than what they agreed at the beginning of that campaign, if I were you I will ask for what it is rightfully yours and if you do not get it you should quit.

It depends on a project to project and we know in the current bearish market investors are not much interested in ICOs that's why bounties campaigns are extending for more time. I have also promoted extended campaign projects but my experience is not good so far and the result was not as expected.

It can mean vise versa too, sometimes there are good projects that extend the bounty because they are still lack of investors and they need to gather more funds to continue with the project.

Good points but I have these to add.

1. The Sales is not going smoothly and they need more marketing from bounty hunters to promote the project further (in some cases, they extend sales as well)

2. The team is just shady, they extend the bounty campaign to delay payment. Sometimes even when the bounty ends, they can still extend distribution date or rather distribute in batchs

Sure, when IOST (similar to EOS & TRON) extended there campaign I wasn't sure whether or not to continue or move onto an entirely new project because at the time the tokens really weren't worth much, but after some due dillgence it was decided that this coin hasn't even launched its mainnet yet, so I decided to rejoin the campaign in hope's of acquiring more tokens, unfortunately I wasn't selected.
 Now the coin is starting to make a turn around and I'm glad I participated at all. Whenever a bounty campaign decides to extend its initial bounty campaign, it's up to the participants to decide whether or not it is a worthy investment.
    So always remember to practice your due dillgence first before reinvesting any time and energy into a campaign!  :o

There is never a guarantee that a project will end up successfully, by collecting enough funds. A lot of projects are prolonging their bounty programmes, because they are just unable to secure needed funds, and most likely such projects are not collecting enough funds at the end.

It all depends on the project and on you. Why do you even support the project?
For the sake of Dene or do you really like the project? If the second, then you will not have a question in continuing to support the project.
Let's say the project extended the bounty, if the project is good, he argues for this and, possibly, will offer additional income through extension. If the project is bad, then you yourself have chosen it.

i personally never experienced that, but if that happens and indeed the project looks and might prove to be successful, then i think adding a few weeks to the campaign will be very good because on the other hand you will also get more rewards. that doesn't matter, because basically you have acknowledged the project will be a success until you are willing to promote the project. so there is nothing to be suspicious about

This is not good for a normal bounty campaign and I'm sure it has a problem. Did the campaign manager tell you why they extended it?
Maybe they haven't reached the target money they are intend to steal? Haha.
Because if they run their bounty well and everything succesful then why do they need to extend it?

It is very useful and many of the bounty campaign doing the same with their projects two extend it. If you Siri some years before there are many projects doing the same I am those projects on now in a good place.
So choosing the bounty with their project details and the team information are the must known details to examine the good ICO bounty.

The trust in the project matters, 8 week might be long with lots of dilution and worse when the project is not planning to give any reward. Most project recently are extending their campaign because investors are reluctant to put money. all the tactics to get funds had been exhausted and they rarely get funding. I had a bounty for 6 months and at the end the project failed, so the focus is the project's ability to raise enough fund and get on exchange.

If you have followed for a long time and believe that the project is good, that is your choice, I see that your bounty is still in the presale stage with an additional 3 weeks, and they plan to do Ieo in November. I don't recommend continuing, but for your note that projects with "working products" like these have good records 2 years ago, but I don't want to equate them with the current conditions.

I participated several times in such companies that extended the award for a month, and only one project with a well-known manager turned out to be promising. In most cases, a reward extension does not promise anything good.

Update extra week for bounty campaign give chance for participants miss in early week to get their additional stake, many participants not joining at the first week of bounty campaign, after bounty campaign manager give extra week participants can get double stake, I like if join with middle week of bounty campaign and have extra week.

It's plain and simple they just want to squeeze in some more investment but they never give a clear reason to bounty hunters nor bounty managers. I think a well planned project don't need these extensions. Bounties are heading in wrong direction and now anyone can start bounty by creating erc20 token. We need to be cautious as its not 2017.

Myself too have participated in many bounty projects that gets extended over the next few weeks. There is nothing special or good out of it. One of the bounty that I participated conducted second phase of bounty after few months gap, during the first phase I participated and received tokens which were idle in the wallet as it hasn't got listed. With trust joined the second phase, everything went good and received tokens as the first phase but tokens hasn't got listed till date.

I am not too disappointed if the bounty adds to the duration of time but it must also increase allocation I have experienced things that are very annoying, right when i join bounty, they increase time duration of the bounty and do not increase the allocation after the bounty ends, they make an allocation cut

That is a little too much. That is why I always try to join Arteezy.rtx's bounties. The rules of the bounties say that it will continue for 8 weeks, and so will it. Anyway, that depends on your situation. Ask yourself, is it worth to continue or is it better to leave? Obviously, the 12 week waste of time is not small and you should have a good reason to leave. Or maybe there is another project which you can earn more times than previous one.

depend on the project is, if the project has reached good amount investment, you can consider to continue the bounty

if the project doosnt get good amount, there is no reason to stick on the bounty. you are better to find the another bounty

as far i followed bounty, bounty which added extra weeks often to fail

I think it depends on you, if the results of the bounty campaign are good, then there is no harm in still doing the work of the bounty campaign, but when there should be an additional week there should be an additional allocation of prizes so that it can make the participants eager to do their work.

You have to decide when you are ready to join. Like this xcard campaign 3 weeks extra added which was 8 weeks. I got  huge results after extra 20 weeks added. Some project was shut down even after got extra 10 weeks, this situation also I faced.

It was hard for us if we participated some bounties are only end 3 weeks but in the end added again another weeks. But if have some good result in a project or a bounty why not, Must better to continue than get nothing. If we think this well not have good run about the bounty must better to leave it early than promoting and in the end you cry for not receive a bounty rewards or just scam us working on them.

Extended periods are common. There are teams that add bounty pool allocations, some don't, some allow leaving the bounty and stake saved, some don't. As a bounty hunter, we must implement the rules well, whatever the changes, it is the authority of the developer team and the bounty manager team. It's quite annoying, especially if there is no additional allocation, but if the consequence is you lose the stake that you get 12 weeks before, if you don't continue for 8 more weeks then it's better to continue. I hope they pay is worth it.

If I like the project, then I do not throw a bounty and participate there until the end. In general, I rarely leave the bounty of the company, because the addition of new weeks doesn't always mean something bad.

If the bounty participants are paid in top coins and the bounty manager distributes the rewards every month, then It is no problem to continue. But if the payment is in new altcoins, moreover it will be distributed after the bounty period, I think you are better to leave and move to another bounty program. However, it depends on you, firstly just check how the progress of the project. If there is no strong reason to stay on the bounty program, why not you leave soon!

I can't agree any less. Most acts of extension has a fraudulent undertone and thus the project fails in the end. Like you said, if a project that extends bounty but yet to meet softcap, it's rather advisable to quit further work and seek your trade elsewhere before all efforts becomes waste

i think extra 8 weeks is too long. but if they increase the portion of bounty allocation, the project is going well and success to reach their goal on token sale, i think it's worth to do some work in extra weeks.

that's true as the result can't be determined and that must be a hard time for OP to take his decision about this bounty. but we can see how the progress that has already made by the team.
Xcard doesn't seem to be a good project too. If this is a trusted project and it can reach the trust from investors instantly but the fact that it was extending the marketing campaign that means the project in a difficult position.

A bounty extension is not necessarily a red flag warning against potential problems on the part of the project.  It may choose to extend it's campaign if the campaign was meant to run concurrently with their ICO/IEO which may have been extended also. It could also mean that the project wants more participant to take part in the bounty because only few hunters are promoting it.

 If the project has reached soft-cap or does not need crowfunding, then the extension of the bounty does really mean anything bad for hunters other than potentially smaller rewards as more hunter join(in the case of staked pools). If you believe in the project,  regardless of campaign extension,  continue promoting it.

If I promote a project for 12 weeks and extra weeks are added after the 12 weeks, I will stop participating in the bounty without deleting my previous works. Bounty campaigns these days have been very bad.

I choose projects to participate very carefully and therefore I am not afraid that some of them may extend the bounty company for several more weeks. As my experience shows, it doesn't always lead to something bad.

Back then when I am participating bounty campaigns, it is normal that there are some additional weeks for a campaign, then after that, if the campaign is succeeded with their project then all of is gets paid. Once entering campaign also make sure that you know the risk because not all bounties are getting succeeded and paying you back after you work for them because it depends if their project got succeeded or not. Check their sales or their project itself as well. You can also check their ratings at ICObench, just for reference.

several times I found it was a project that added time to the campaign because sales had not yet been reached it was normal to get good results in the end and to be patient it must have been carefully planned by the project itself

12weeks is already a long work for a campaign. Meaning an extension is added due to some factor such as low marketing strategy of their sales, this is actually a bad sign cause the promotions arent effective or the project isn't really a good one. For me, Ive joined campaign that has a short term duration, of course its hard to promote with longer period and knowing that the project is scam or cancelled.

During with joined many bounty campaign least two year I found many bounty campaign added extra weeks because the ICO selling not reached their coin target selling, I trust with bounty campaign have added extra weeks because ICO project want to sell all their coin, by giving several weeks later maybe make all ICO coin sold out to investors.

Adding extra weeks is their strategy if they have to extend their ICO round too, yes, you are right because they haven't meet even their initial target goal yet, so it is alright, it is just up to us if we want to continue or not, just check out the rules if ever you  can still have stakes if you will not finish the bounty, but if I were in that situation, I will better leave, because it means there is lacking in their project that's why even their soft cap has not reached yet.

Normally, for a bounty program to be extended for more weeks means the target has not been achieved. It is very rare for a project to extend its bounty program due to overwhelming participation during its token sales because most projects have fixed allocations for their sales and once that is completed, no extra tokens are given out for sales. Most projects that extend their bounty programs do not end well and a classical example is Desico.

I did not experience on that kind of bounty have been promoting 12 weeks and added 8 weeks but if you are already in the campaign must better to finish it maybe it have time to be success and can earn more high bounty rewards if listed in the exchange site. There are some bounties also they extended weeks cause the fund are not reach yet.

I have joined a bounty project in the past that extended their campaign for another 6 months. A social bounty campaign. Even though frustrated with the announcement, I continued doing tasks because somewhat I believe in the project and trust the bounty manager. More than half of the participants left the campaign which I think is good cause only a few would divide the stakes. After the extended campaign, the release of stakes took more months that I forgot about it.
Boy Im glad I continued. Because my perseverance bore fruit. Got big stakes because only a few divided the stakes and the coin has big value when released in the market has big value.
One of my biggest and rewarding bounty campaign so far.

Usually the addition of weeks is done because Sales don't get a response or sales haven't reached SoftCap. The developer finally wants the bounty to be extended for a few weeks. But the project was finally successful and reached softcap, there were more rewards given and there were projects that did not add rewards. But for now if the week is added or not, many projects are not successful, because many bounties today are scamming and monitoring bounty hunters. Need to be picky bounty so that the work is not useless.

I have been following a lot of promotions and some of them extended the promotion and some of them have had good and bad results.
Usually extended because they have not received enough funds in their pre-sale to pay for the bounty hunter they eventually increase the promotion time several weeks ahead.

depending on the type of project. when a project really needs extra time for development or waiting for an investor I might be waiting for it. however, 8 weeks is a long time.  when the project already has a product, has a famous partnership, and also already has a partnership with the market so that after the sale, the tokens can be traded immediately, it is a project that is worth waiting for. in addition, we have also been working on the task for 12 weeks. but, it needs to add extra allocation in accordance with the extension of the bounty. that's my opinion

as long as I here rarely get good results from ico projects that add to the project duration to 2-3 months, most of the projects end in fraud. but I don't know about the project you are referring to, if the project has a quality product or the team that is responsible may be able to give good results, but it is much better if you reconsider the project.

Yes, I have promoted but it's still struggling in the market, it's ten weeks of promotion and they've added 5 more weeks, I cannot get out since they will not count all my previous week's work, I need to finish the whole campaign to get to the list of distribution.
There's no guaranty that the project will be successful even if they added more weeks since they can always change the rules at their discretion, you are a hostage here.

It depends, if you start the bounty campaign because you just feel like giving a try them it means you are not so sure of the project but if the project is a very good one its better not to stop, many hunters will walk away for sure and this will open door for more stakes

I really do not like to be in such situation whereby promoting a bounty for too long and along the process another good bounty might show up and you will lose out unless the extended bounty project become very successful

depending on your decision, but before you take part in the project isn't it based on the results of your own research? of course you already understand that. but if the project you are participating in adds a longer duration, you need to reconsider about the project and also about further options. My advice remains rather than jumping on projects that are not necessarily clear and may be more risky.

Do not leave the bounty for another unless the new bounty is very worthy, because you might end up wasting your time when you promote new bounty, its better to stick with the old bounty, you must have joined for a reason

This is a very frustrating thing about extentions of a bounty campaign, and I don't even care how much allocation be added to it. What's more important is that we've going to catch a good reward somehow, because even if you been successfully completed with the campaign hence a project didn't obtain a good market, still it's a useless efforts. If a project continues with their campaign, developers should provide a transparency towards participants so they won't be disappointed in the end.

What if the addition of the bounty extension is not clear? . This often happens when the bounty campaign follows the Token Sales but because not so many are investing the team extends to an undetermined time. Don't we also lose in terms of time? and even then we also may not be able to benefit or not from promoting

I have done it 4 weeks with an additional work of 1 week in total 5 weeks whereas from the beginning they said in the bounty thread only 4 weeks were written, so for that there was added 1 week towards the end of the campaign and for me it was not a problem as long as agreed with no deductions payment

does dev provide information about the increment of time made? usually they have a reason, if the reason is right then just continue the work. most importantly know their reasons for the extra time that occurs

A tough choice, if it continues it will take time and not guarantee the project is successful.
leave the bounty and join the new bounty but it's not necessarily successful too.
the risk of joining a bounty means having to accept all the consequences, devoting your time to results that are not necessarily clear.

It always comes down to the reward after bounty ends, i expect such bounty to add more tokens to the bounty allocation if not i will stop promoting such bounty, adding more tokens means they are sincere and serious about paying bounty hunters for their work

Finally I found a campaign that worths it, so I hope that it will never end. After many campaigns where I earned worthless tokens I found a campaign where I get paid in Bitcoin. And those who are true believers understand that 1$ in BTC per post means possible 10-100$ in the future.

They must have a reason for extending the bounty. You can continue if due diligence was carried out on the project and if you have validated that they're serious. If all the boxes are not ticked, you're best staying off and looking for a better bounty.

Can you share this bounty for us? We'll love to join in ;D

Yes, they do it, when they are having a hard time reaching their soft cap, they can do that because when you joined the bounty campaign you are bound by the rules of the campaign if you are going to join a campaign, be sure that you can leave the campaign anytime and you can retain the stakes, so you will not bound by the campaign rules.

I've experience bounties like that before, though I didn't join, I just see it on altcoin bounties thread where they need to extend the bounty for some reasons such as lack in investment by investors, or they need to settle longer period of time because of an internal update regarding their project. But there are those bounties that aren't really paying despite extending the bounty too long. I would advise that you re-evaluate the project and try to see if there are flaws that might be considered for you not to trust their extension.

Well it really depends on the campaign or the project if they have extra weeks to do but there are some that is not really advised to continue, yes, like there is no increased in the bounty pool or if it is not necessary to finish the campaign and must remove the signature properly with the consent of the bounty manager. Most of this project are not successful as they are extending because they are near to their target or softcapitalization and just running after to it at the very least.

It depends, if you think there's a good reason for the additional weeks extension and there's additional campaign allocation then its fine as long as the project is progressing and you know your effort will be worth it once it came to an end.

But nowadays extending the campaign doesnt guarantee that the project will succeed if they maximize the months of promotion. With lots of scam project existing its better to think about it carefully, sometimes its their way to lure investors and to delay the payment of participants.

This happens when the project did not get enough funding  for the project. You are lucky that the project succeed that you are paid more than enough of the expectations. There are projects  that are also extended but really failed in the long run and gone. It depends on the project also if their project is feasible,profitability,with solid dev team , and especially the backers for the funding and support.

My recent experience has been following the project with a duration of 22 weeks and added 4-5 weeks and I started to join at week 23. And at the same time I began to be suspicious about the project and made an immediate decision to leave there.
so, my advice is go and find another project that is better than before, than you sticking with the same option will only waste your energy / time.

It doesn't sound great. They have offered to pay you for a certain amount of work over 12 weeks. Now they want you to do an extra 8 weeks' work for no extra payment. They are effectively almost halving your pay. This is not what a good project would do. If they're not prepared to pay extra for extra work, then it's a bit of a red flag for me. A couple of extra weeks, sure, that's not too bad - but an extra 2/3 again on the original length? No.

What guarantee do you have that when the 8 weeks is over, they don't suddenly extend by another 10 weeks? People will have invested 20 weeks then that they don't want to risk by leaving. It could go on forever.

A bounty campaign with 20 weeks duration is a pretty long time to continue. Recently a bounty campaign called Alchemy extended their period from 4 weeks to 20 weeks, which is just ridiculous! I would not join there at this moment, maybe I will do it when there will be 4-6 weeks left! Personally, I would suggest you leave that campaign, most of the time these bounty rewards will be a penny. But if you are doing that campaign's signature, then leaving will be a bad idea as you already did that campaign for 12 weeks!

Exactly, after staying in the campaign for 12 weeks, and all he only need to wait for 8 more weeks until the end of the project, he should have continued since he was there from the very beginning. If he ever leaves, then he won't be able to receive his reward. All his hard work and patience will be put to waste and nothing to receive after waiting for almost 3 months.

Of course, that's a good thing because it's a sign that the services/product you are promoting receives great number of sales due to your advertisement. Always remember that they will not extend the bounty in the first place if they no longer get any benefits in return. Imagine, why they are willing again to spend good amount of BTC for you to extend wearing their signature? It is a clear sign that you and all of the participants of such campaign is working effectively :D. Don't hesitate, just grab it as long as no issues make you concern!

agree with what you say. if this happens, the team needs to be transparent about the funds collected and the reasons why the project is extended. based on experience, some projects do that because they are waiting for investors, or chasing hardcap because investment funds are collected little by little, so the time is extended. however, I suggest continuing to support if the project is 90% going to run after the sale is complete.

If they are still gonna keep your stakes for you, it's better for you to stop promoting the project as soon as possible. Any project extending their campaign doesn't mean they'll pay you immediately after the campaign, it do take a whole lot of time before they could. I have experienced such projects, up till yet I haven't been paid. I regret ever promoting them to the end of their extended weeks

If you actually promoted a bounty for 12 weeks and more 8 weeks added, check the project progress and the terms and conditions to decide whether to continue or not. For instance if wearing signature, and they say you can remove signature after 3 weeks and your stakes will be given, then you can comfortably remove it and join any other bounty you wish. But if you really see progress in the project  there is no need to stop, some end up being cool, although most reward will reduce.

Always take time reading all the rules and checking the reputation of the team and if it is being managed by an independent bounty manager, check his reputation, some rules are a trap, all bounty campaign rules can change the rules anytime is already considered a trap, check if you can leave the campaign and keep your stakes, it's always better to join this campaign, so you are not forced to join the extension of the campaign but for me all bounty campaigns are risky.

The most important thing to see is the rule of getting stakes. If the bounty have a rule that we have to use their signature or doing social media thing until the end of the bounty or we lost all the stakes we better not join the bounty because if the project is not funded yet and they extends the bounty time, we will just waste our time on not interested project. So, becareful with that rule. We have to avoid bounty with that such rule

Upon the end of ICO, adding an extra week by the team will not be a great decision considering the eagerness of the bounty hunters. They expect to see the end of the bounty campaign as soon as possible but the project management has another idea for controlling this. If the bounty manager agrees to give the stakes of the bounty weeks which you have done your job as a bounty hunter, go for the next project. Otherwise, the choices are limited.

We have the freedom to choose, if we think that the project didn't even meet the soft cap, then is on our part if we still want to continue, or you will just find some bounties that you think if legit and can accomplish in ICO. For now, better to choose project that are conducting IEO rather than ICO, as we know that IEO is more legit nowadays, but still doing research should not remove in our task.

no need to be surprised and surprised by events like this. I think it's natural but it would be better to be on time according to the original plan. unfortunately on the way it can not be that easy. some projects have experienced marketing constraints and take longer than the initial plan to get stronger funding for the platform. as long as there is no suspicion of fraud for the project I think it is still safe to remain followed. but you must consider the results obtained. thankfully if there will be an additional allocation for the bounty, but if it's not possible you can talk it out with the bounty manager to get the best decision.

usually the bounty has not reached the soft cap or hard cap, so the team increases the duration of the bounty and hopes to reach their target. the second possibility is that they (all teams) believe that the project will be a great success, so the duration is added to attract even more investor interest and achieve even greater profits.

For you to have promoted the project for 12 while weeks, I think it's a good indication that you love the project and since that's the case, you wouldn't want to waste the efforts of 12 weeks, if it were me, I would ask the bounty manager to allow me leave with my stakes intact but if he/she refuses, I would continue the campaign for the 8 extra weeks, I don't like wasting any of my efforts, unless you have a pressing campaign that you wanna join but if there isn't, I would just have continued it till the end.

In this situation, the bounty manager should request an increased budget from the project. Bounty hunters should then do some background research to find out whether the project is struggling to meet its funding goals, or whether the extension is being added for another reason. If the project is failing, then I would recommend cutting your losses and stop working on the project. Also, if the bounty manager didn't add a stipulation that the date can be extended, then you should avoid following their bounties in future as they are clearly operating without much integrity.

Easy to say cutting your loss when you have not worked for 8 weeks to them and then extend for another weeks. But its definite one that might have to do unless he risk continuing the blatant abuse already while the team's token isn't yet officially in the market. The scam could be more fatal when finally the bounty campaign ends and the market is open.  Allocations for the bounty campaigns may be distributed too late, that's where the scam could go blatantly go worse.

All depends on situation. Usually bounty campaign prolonging if main sale prolonging too. That means project can't reach it's goal and needed more time for it. So it's not a good sign.

It would be helpful if you'll do another backgeound check about the campaign so that you could clear your mind with the doubts regarding the credibikity of the bounty. Second, it really depends on the situation, there are times that the bounty is prolonging the campaign because the demand is good and the project is having a good outcome or the project isn't meeting its goal with their initial time frame so they extend it to meet the goal and this isn't actually good. Identify whether of the two sitiations you are in so that you could decide.

I would say that this is a very bad sign and the worst thing is that in this case, as a rule, the extension happens without increasing the pool of coins allocated for the bounty campaign. it significantly reduces rewards

I think this is not a problem if the project owners give a reasonable explanation why they added 8 weeks. I participated in bounty campaigns where they added a few weeks and they became successful. You should decide for yourself whether to continue or not.

The purpose of a bounty campaign is marketing for a project, an ICO to help them raise as much capital as possible. However, not all projects are successful, so they need to buy more time, hoping to raise more money. I think so.

in signature campaigns additional weeks has been added by the campaign manager remains people who ever participated in that signature campaign will be really happy.
But in the bounty campaign it will be reciprocal and we will expect the money as early as possible by avoiding such unwanted weeks of work. I will not conclude whether it is good or bad for the bounty it is completely upon the wish of the company.

There is no connection between extrt week or scan project that for add extra weeks, you want to leave. Recently I find a good project they are don't agree to run IEO until mainnet is ready to launch, for this case they were added extra 20 weeks to rise enough funds. After adding extra weeks should active both every week.

I think adding extra weeks to the project is very bad. Everyone who did this explained this with a request from the community. However, this simply cannot be. The less the company goes for remuneration and the less participants in it, the more income is made. If the company is extended and the bounty pool is not increased, then this works in the negative for the participants. The company extension also indicates poor financing, which makes it possible to doubt the success of such companies.

Did you earn all these 12 week's stakes? If yes, then you should continue it until the end of the bounty campaign. I know some people who continued their signature for 12 months in Zero carbon and Mycrojobs bounty campaign! They were trapped actually, so, you better continue it. But if you just joined and bounty campaign extended for more 8 weeks, then you can leave it or continue whatever you want!

some managers are paid in the first agreement, so they wouldnt lose anything in the end

the most losses is bounty hunter if they do wrong decision to continue that bounty type
that's why bounty hunter must be wise to take decision

I think the main thing when promoting a project is, do you believe the project would succeed and can you invest money into the project, for me  I don't see anything wrong if there is a genuine reasons for postponement and it is based on the percentage of token sold or the amount has been capped.

Stay away from this type of bounty! usually they add additional weeks because the sales have not yet reached the softcap. In another sense, they still need bounty participants to promote their products. Based on my experience, usually bounty like this only makes a little money or even not a penny. Because they did not have enough funds to develop the platform, even to be listed on the exchange they had difficulty.

Bad situation for bounty hunters who are already seeking to join some other campaigns like yobit :)
If you can ask the bounty manager to credit your stakes even if you are leaving the campaigns, you should just leave because there is a high probability that this project could be a scam. The team will probably not even add their token to the exchanges just like the past bounty campaigns I have joined.

My suggestion is because you have already been on a bounty campaign for 12 weeks, it's better to do the rest for the next 8 weeks.
Because no one can be sure here will end well or even scam. But if you decide to stop at 12 weeks it would be a waste of time spent
that long, it's better to try your luck by living the remaining 8 weeks. Although the results will not be good, just think of it as a portfolio
of failures. It's hard to get good projects now.

This is a difficult question. As a rule, such a situation doesn't lead to a good ending.Now you are faced with a choice. But it’s better for me to leave the project and regret,than don't to leave and  anyway regret.
I know of several such projects and they all turned out to be a scam.

As long as the workload and compensation matches, I personally do not have a problem with this. But, I think if the project is extended, then you must first received already at least a big part of your compensation. If the project is extended because the gathered fund is not enough, then it will be scary for me to continue the project.

This has happened to me i think that was last year when i participated bounty campaigns which keep on extending its promotion but in the end, i only got nothing. It's really good to research first about the campaign first so that if you see that there is a potential on it, you should not doubt to continue its promotion. But if you think it won't end up into something good, better find another one.

This can be tiring and annoying especially when token isn't increased instead they add more weeks to it...worst is, some do even reduce allocation after increasing date. Guitar funny and annoying at same point.

Annoying it is. Sometimes they will be ending up not paying you. I was just commited into it from the start that is why I consider working from them with the following extra weeks. But it is not fair. What they have planned must be achieved with all possibility. It is advisable to work with them in an extra weeks? No, if they are just wishing you to follow up, maybe somehow yes if it will be paid, because you already done your job that is supposed to be done with the certain time. Extra weeks are the project fault for not complying to a set time of finishing it.

They are extending it because of some circumstances, probability of sale got extended. Actually, most of the time that is the main reason anyways as I always say we have agreed to their terms when we joined the bounty so all you need to do is to comply or leave thats all about it.

if it is indeed required for bounty participants then you must do that because what I know is if we don't continue then the stake we get will be deleted and I have also experienced the incident and not everything will end in hope

Most of the bounty programs have it stated clearly in the general rules that the entire bounty program is subjected to changes by the campaign manager and the project's team. Hence in times when the project faces difficulties reaching their soft cap, the bounty program can be extended to additional weeks. Some projects are too good to increase the bounty allocation in such circumstance whereas others keep the old allocation.

If bounty campaign added extra week about two or three week later is fine because ICO sale not reached target, they will try to added several weeks later and their ICO coins can sold out, many bounty campaign added extra week because the ICO team have running for several week later to sell their ICO coin, if ICO sold with short time bounty campaign will running not depend with schedule and finished early.

Most of the time added is only used as their alibi that can not make a project run well.
I strongly agree with your opinion that if the addition in order to increase sales of tokens, but more is the opposite.
after the addition of time also finally received many tokens that are actually worthless alias far below the price of ico.
can not guarantee that the addition of time can lift the price of the token.

if it's like that, it looks like you have to look for another project. i think the time required to complete the project is too long, i do not believe in such a project. you have to think again to work on a project like that.

but if the project looks good, it doesn't matter if you continue. the decision is in yourself.

added extra 8 weeks? that is too much, you can leave the campaign if you want, but if you think their project is legit and they add more tokens allocation for the bounties you can still continue to promote.

yes, we all know that every project has its own rules and it all depends on the project team because they have the right to decide, both the allocation cuts and the additional duration for the project. if a participant leaves the project, the participant stake allocation will be lost and the 12 week effort will be in vain.

Rarely do you want to add token allocations even though you have added extra time. usually they add time because sales have not reached what was set and they don't want to lose. with the addition they hope there will be a change but that also does not guarantee because there is an additional time but the team has sold the token first, when the token is completed there is no price. many modes are done with the addition of time, don't be quick to believe.

As per my research, last year Files FM bounty was extended but after bounty ends bounty hunters are told that the softcap was not met that they are only able to raised little money so they are not going to get paid, most times bounty that got extended are facing fund issue either in ICO or IEO

It can be very annoying sometimes when bounty program is been extended, same thing is happening to ez365 bounty presently, bounty suppose to end last week but now its been added extra 3 months, which means January 31 of 2020, i wonder why this happened

this is the thing that I think about. I might choose not to continue the work if the softcap of the project has not been collected. thinking that the team extended the bounty for 8 weeks or 2 months, that is something that really needs to be considered. I suggest looking for another project if it is doubtful about that project. however, I think if the goal is to reach the hardcap, I think it doesn't matter, especially if the team provides all the useful information.

Its all about taking chances when it comes to making decision on extended bounty campaigns, be watchful on the present fundraising results, if its still very far away then it will be wise to stop promoting such project but if the fund raising date is still far away then there still enough time to gather softcap successfully

It shouldn't happen. It's a sign of a bad campaign and a bad project. It's okay if they add a corresponding amount of new tokens to the reward to cover the extra time - say if pool was 2 million tokens for a 10 week bounty, then if extend by another 5 weeks they need to add another 1 million tokens to the pool.

If they don't add the extra tokens, then they are decreasing your reward for work done. If they aren't prepared to add extra tokens, they shouldn't extend it.

If someone pays you $10 to clean 2 cars, they can't suddenly say: actually it's going to be 3 cars but still $10 - they need to give you an extra $5.

How can you be so sure that an extended campaign is guaranteed a bad project?
I have encountered campaigns that extend their project, and it is a good project, I receive a decent amount of bounty and the project become successful.

Demanding additional tokens for payment is not applicable, the bounty allocation fund is always fixed, it is impossible to increase just because they extended the project.

Such facts do not apply in bounty campaigns.

Never trust the softcap meters on any mock projects because they're not making it dynamically based on people invested in but it's just a hardcode that can be adjust anytime.
So, if the campaign is already extending more and more, that means they're just funding money and not thinking about the product that they will make they just buying time so they will have nothing to do while investors are keep invest some money to them

Unfortunately, this situation is constantly happening now, and there’s nothing to be done about it, you can of course stop participating in the bounty company at this stage, but it’s best to continue to participate in the bounty company and hope for the best, and in general it won’t lead to anything bad, in the worst case, you will just lose your time.

thank you. I am also one of the bounty hunters. Wish the project well development and end with good end results. ;)

Do not be scared of bounties that add extra weeks to their campaigns, moreover you are not losing anything except your precious time, for me its worth the risk cos its better than not trying at all, i know bounties are not that profitable because of present market condition but few ones still did very good

8 weeks is too much in my opinion, however, I have participated in MB8coins which had 4 weeks campaign and another extra 4 weeks again. I would like to join those 8 weeks Campaign of Mb8coins If I could turn back the time. because they turn to be a legit project and with the 4 weeks alone you will get $4000 of payments from the first time it got listed on exchanges, with another 4 weeks that will give you, 8 weeks = $8000. not bad right? If that project you are talking about is the same as Mb8coins, you will also get that huge amount. but if you're talking about some shitcoins, you're likely wasting your time if you continue promoting their project.

most importantly there are still notifications and communication between managers and developers on the bounty hunter. I am now also following a campaign that extends its duration, although there is no guarantee I will be paid, but I will still try to do the work until the end other than if there is an announcement or indication of a scam from the project that I participated in. as long as the project still has no negative news, there is no reason to leave the campaign.

but if you think like that then the campaign developer will increasingly not keep their promises. because the running campaign certainly has a road map and if they make extra time you should ask, if the reason is not wise then you need to criticize them

some developers certainly give clear reasons and make the community not too disappointed. usually, they add allocations or limit the number of participants who join. but if some developers or managers extend the campaign with unclear reasons you should leave. especially if something goes wrong with their sales revenue. keep careful.

At the moment majority of the bounty projects added extra weeks because it’s depend on ICO. Also i have very worst experienced in the few projects likes Azbit bounty duration was almost 13 months and it’s happened for extra weeks even token lockup until another 6 months i think we have to avoid this kinda projects. But i think long term projects will be worthy but not every single project.              

For something like bounty i usually see from duration. 13 months for bounty or you can remove signature before it but reward still locked? Because 13 months for bounty campaign, if the duration is on the thread i will avoid it. For me, it is better to join a lot of campaign but in short time than join long bounty campaign. Because with that, i have chance to get better reward from campaign.

Its really shouldn't matter if you are sure that the project is real and the idea is not bad, i have seen whereby people leave a bounty for another bounty and they later regret, its like throwing away a diamond and running after stones

The fact is there is no way to know if the project will be successful or not, i bet you left mb8 coin bounty because you aren't too sure about its outcome if not you would have earn 8k right? You never saw it coming

It depends on the project, whether their added weeks are a bonus for the bounty hunters or for them because they do not have the funds raised to continue their campaign.
You might want to know this by asking them on the telegram or you can expect an annoucment about the extra week. Here you will know immediately whether you will continue to work on them or not because if it is for their sake it is better to stop than to get tired without a reason.

Are you referring xcard bounty project? if yes then i think its better to continue with the bounty because the project is a very good one, promising and reliable, the only thing that can make me stop promoting a bounty is if teams failed to add more tokens to the allocation

It's the manager and the team rules and there's nothing that participants / hunters can do but to follow and if you are willing to continue working for them then proceed. But if you think that you are not comfortable to add more weeks of using their campaign or promoting them then ask the team
to save up your stake, it's better to communicate and try to bring your point and your opinion about the extensions.

It's not the bounty manager fault to extend the bounty campaign.  Sometimes the team of the project decide to change the rules. We all know that from the beginning of the campaign that they have the right to do so. If I promote a project for 12 weeks and there's an extension and there's a bonus added to the allocation then I will continue,  it's another way to earn more from the project.

Yeah bounty managers are just helping the project's owner mantaining the bounty participants and every decision made is must be from the project owner, so can't blame anything to the bounty managers except it's bounty manager fault such as not counting stakes or misscount stakes. And i think i will not worth for joining extended bounty because the project is not making hype to the investors and it's better to move to another project if the previous project sabe our stake

Bounty campaign manager try for helping ICO project can reach hard cap sold coin by added extra week for bounty campaign participant promote the ICO project, maybe with four or three extra weeks added can give chance for investor miss investing with ICO project can buy and invest there, maybe with added extra week can get sold coin about 20%.

what reason? if they add for extra investor, but in a fact they hit the cap, its hard to judge about that reason. sometime they add extra week and end up with success, sometime they just no investor invest on that ico, or maybe its not popular. i ever join and get extra week, but its good because in last year bounty still good. but now i never know about icos future. it can be good or bad for extra week, you need to watch their progress too

I have seen many good projects. Those who do not increase what the week says. And their projects are successful.Most projects that are over-the-counter may not be successful.

if in 2017 maybe we can still believe about the addition of time, but for now the addition of time I think is not good because usually the projects give extra time because they do not get enough results for development. So the reason for the increase in time for now is that I don't think it's right if there isn't a strong reason

Still hard to believe because there are few bounties that got extended and they end up with good results, what should matter to every bounty hunters is the concept of the project, how good it is and how determined the teams are.

It is sometimes unpredictable, when it comes to what will happen. Although, the question I ask myself is; why is the team postponing the bounty? This will give me clue on what to do, as to whether to continue or to stop. The issue with it again is that, the longer the team, the lower the reward for low ranked members who are doing the campaign.

You have a point there mate but I think the reason why some project extend bounty duration is because they did not reached the softcap or they want more marketing promotion from the bounty hunters. I think you already knew that the market is not favorable for new projects these days so it will be a bit hard to collect the minimum funding goal.

For me as long as I see the projects has potential and they had a valid reason for extension then I don't mind working to them for another weeks or months because that's how I give my full support for their project.

Basically there are more reasons for any bounty  manager or project manager to add more weeks for the bounty hunters after the end of the campaign. Have participated on many campaigns that have added additional month for campaign and never distribute tokens till eternity. Many of these projects does this because they lack the marketing strategies to attract more investors to the project. Also, insufficient fund raised.

That's already alerting for me. Bounties usually takes up a lot of time most specially when they haven't reached their hard cap yet but extending too much is something you should think about hardly. It can either be a scam or they are just in great need of extending their time to reach the cap. It also takes too long because of the computation being made for the rewards that are to be dessiminated to bounty hunters but still, don't stay complasant that it is what it's all about. Stay up with the news and see if there's a hint if it is just a scam or if it is already failing.

It does not but delays do create a space of doubt in the hearts of participants. If suddenly time extends, people would like to know the reason behind such actions. I will not suggest him to leave the program as it will waste his previous efforts too but he should join some other potential bounty simultaneously. This will save him from risking anymore time. He should also look for ways other than bounty.

There was a time when I was promoting these projects and didn't get very good results. So disappointing. All goals are not fulfilled, especially sales. I am so sad. are you sad like me  :(

What is there to be sad about? do you expect everything to work oit according to plan? good things don't come easily and you have to try real hard to archive your goals, work more on your research you can get better at that

What led to the addition of extra week should be stated and additional rewards should be added to the hunters as well. If a campaign gets extended, I will continue given there's reasons for its extension.

If you had joined a Bounty campaign, you were supposed to analyze the project and to consider the goals pretty promising, so it is okay to go on promoting it in case the pool was increased.

That's not right if they added 8 weeks to continue the campaign unless if they added more tokens for the bounty then I think you can continue, but it's up to you if you don't like to continue to promote, most of the campaigns that added more weeks because they don't have reach their softcap so they need more investors to invest their project.

Depending on your thoughts, dig into its sales. Is it stable for you to continue? Currently Scam a lot, be careful.

They're really doing that maybe because the target cap is not yet reached and they are adding extra weeks for us bounty hunter can promote that particular bounty campaign more. The particular ICO are making extra weeks for them to get more investors for them to be successful. It is quite bad because the longer the campaign is, the bigger the tokens they should give to the bounty hunters because they are doing their job, and it makes the project less successful, that is based on my own opinion. But there are bounty programs that are literally making their project less in time but they are obviously adding extra weeks for some reasons.

So the duration was increased by 67%? In that case the campaign manager should increase the bounty pool by the same amount. But the problem is that in many cases the bounty pool is not increased. It is like promising a certain amount as salary for work and then demanding the individual that he should do additional work in case he want his salary. One of the ways the bounty hunter gets cheated here. 

Almost always, in every Bounty company, one thing is mentioned that the Bounty Hunters never pay attention to, but already begin to resent when something has changed.  Bounty managers always write in the rules that managers and the company team are entitled to change the terms and conditions at their discretion and these changes are not subject to appeal.  Over the several years of the existence of the Bounty companies, I think that every Bounty Hunter has realized that he cannot defend his rights, and no one appreciates the work of the Bounty Hunter.  Bounty companies always change the rules, both with regard to the duration of the Bounty company itself, the payment of remuneration, as well as with the provision of KYC.

That is understandable, there are many members that are complaining about how some projects that seem good on paper are not receiving enough funding, but why bounty hunters should work for less than what they were promised, many developers keep a bunch of coins for themselves, if they want bounty hunters to work for a longer amount of time then they should give up a part of their tokens to increase the reward allocation for bounty hunters and we never see that.

Many bounty hunters regrets their decision of leaving bounty campaigns too early for another projects, the truth is many don't know how to decide if a project is good enough or not and when this kind of issues like adding more week they plan to quit.

my advice is that you should continue the project because if you leave you will lose your stake and your efforts will be in vain. but that is your right. I'm just giving a suggestion, but it's a different story if you've found a new project before deciding to go that's fine.

Unless they have a very good reason to do so they should not be chopping and changing dates and times. It shows a lack of focus and management. A properly manages campaign will end when they say it will. Any other reason they just taking advantage and them already at peak number of bounty hunters so an extra extension will help them lots. I suggest you stay just incase unless they make it months longer than just take the stakes you have so far and leave.

I once found an extended gift campaign. aka but that does not guarantee if the end result is better. there is also an extended prize campaign which is ultimately bad. it all depends on the extent of their token sales. the success or failure of a prize campaign lies in achieving the sales of their tokens.

Fund raising is the issue here, once they failed to meet their target they can extend the IEO for more few weeks or months on other exchanges, the best thing is to determined if the project is worth the time or not, if not? its better to find other bounty to promote

More weeks added to bounty campaigns more tokens to be earned, why complaining? since you started the bounty yourself you must have believe in the project, there is no way to know what the end result will be so belief in yourself

Is it possible to move up in the middle of the campaign especailly if we are in singature campaign? However some projects in the past were successful after campaign extension. These we have to do extra research.

So many projects I have done where the bounty was extended by some weeks. They teams have their reasons for doing so. However, I think it would be fair to increase allocated rewards in order to accommodate new participants joining the campaign

The length of any bounty project does not determine its success level. It does not matter how long it would take to finish promotion, the only thing that matters is the amount of money raised and exchange listing afterwards.

I really hate it when my expectations are cut short, bms and projects management should learn to treat bounty hunters fairly because we are human and not slaves, if the agreement was to run a campaign for 3 months let the agreement stand please.

The fact is that you cannot just throw away 12 weeks of work just because the bounty Wass extended, for you to have stuck around for 12 weeks shows you believe in that project so the best you could possibly do is do it for 8 more weeks and hope for the best especially if the allocation was increased, anyways it's not like you have a choice unless you wanna throw away 12 weeks of work.

If they don't add more bounty allocations, then we will still get the same amount, but with more effort. This is clearly detrimental, we can only rely on the acquired stakes. I hope if they do extra time, the allocation for the bounty will also be added to make it more fair. More time is spent, then we also need an additional budget to pay for our extra energy.

Honesty, if we dint want to be greedy also, whatever you have worked for in that 12 weeks is enough for you and that 8 weeks will really not make much difference if you dint participate. The bounty project are ones that we cannot predict, so we cannot really say if the project is worth it or not, but in other words, the only way you can safeguard your time is when you don’t participate the second time.

The extra 8 weeks you would use for a project you are not sure of should be channeled to another project since these projects are all about gambling when it comes to choice of project, you actually would not be able to tell which one would end up in scam or not, so better you stop at the 12 weeks, it will not stop you from getting the rewards you have been entitled to.

Adding extra 8 weeks on top of 12 weeks is very appalling and I won't advice any bounty hunter to continue with such project cause they lack focus. If the bounty allocation is increased it can be considered only if the project is very promising and already listed.

This is not really their fault, they are facing the same problem that everyone in the market is facing as well, how to select the right coin? And at this point in time no one is sure about how to do that, if you were to ask me how to select the right coin I will have no answer for that, in fact I have given up, I do not invest any amount of money big or small in any new project, I'm tired to try to figure out which one is a good project and which one is a scam.

In every projects will never remove your previous stacks if you are participated specially in Signature campaign. I think he talking about EZ365 bounty campaign this project extended a lot of weeks it’s almost 20 weeks right now that's why try to leave here. These project is promising but i didn’t see any improvement still now because their marketing way isn’t enough good.                     

As i understand if you not finish participating in bounty for all weeks you will not get paid the whole duration of the campaign . Unless the manager told that all participants can leave the campaign becuase of the extension all of them is counted even they removed it. Its up to the manager to decide .

I will continue my work if there is a valid reason for the bounty extension and if I think that the project I was promoting is legit but if the only reason is that they don't achieve the softcap and I feel the project is not doing good then I might consider quitting the campaign though I will ask first the bounty manager politely to acknowledge my work for the previous week so if ever the project succeed on the token sale then I still get paid.

in the past (2017) yes, some of bounty that I participated in were getting good results, but at the moment I don't think there are the same results as 2017 and what's worse, I think is a waste of time, now choosing a campaign with shortweek duration is the right choice, but for problems reward returns to the project that we are promoting because it's not a guarantee the results will be good.

I cant promote a project for 12 weeks, i dont have the strength to do so. The most i can do is 8 weeks and even at that i get to skip some weeks. You have done more than most people, it is very normal to rest at 12 weeks, so new hunters can continue the race. An extended bounty campaign in most cases dont always end well. Be wise

It all depends on whether the project is good, it happens that you have been participating for a long time and already begin to notice that the project is not very good and as it seemed at first glance and at the same time it is still being extended then I am not participating, but if the project is good then of course I continue to participate in order to earn more bets, because in the end they are divided into all participants. But as a rule, all projects, if extended, offer everyone not to participate further.

What we have found at the moment is that there is quite a lot of bounty program's are competing for a smaller pool of bounty participants and with the market sentiment as of current token sales are currently raising investments significantly slower than anticipated. Our exchange's security audits to ensure no vulnerabilities has been a step that has required a lot more time than we prior anticipated. That time must be taken because if any security vulnerability were found, it could be quite harmful for fostering trust in our product. We also wanted our exchange to be released before the token sale ended so user's could actually get a feel for the product we made and foster that sense of trust which we expect would drive a lot more investment into the project.

With security we are aiming to be one of the first crypto exchanges that is preparing for ISO 27001 certification which requires a very high standard of security.

We allowed all participants the opportunity to keep their accrued stakes if they felt they wanted to instead join other signature campaigns. All the scams and low-quality projects in the space does make it significantly harder for legitimate projects to get noticed as many just have written off the whole token sale movement as so many have been losing money in the last year. The regulations of KYC being required for token sales has also proved to add another obstacle to raising funds.

Our project's founder's self-funded over a year of development before even deciding to start a token sale. Our marketing efforts will ramp up significantly more upon launch of our exchange which was built from the ground up.

it really need our patience when we work on Bounty campaign that have long periode.i am just worry if our work suddenly become useless and we got nothing.i am ever face this kind projects.after almost 12 weeks and finally its projects become scamm and Bounty hunter got nothing. Bounty periode ideally around six to eight months. Developers team have enough time to promote their project.

The reality of the recent bounty campaigns is not heartwarming but bounty hunters shouldn't feel guilty, it is happened due to the current market circumstances, it is not our fault. The extra weeks are not going to add something valuable to the interest of bounty hunters and the team uses tricky methods for decreasing the bounty allocation in my opinion. 

The income earned from bounty depends mainly on the teams competence to move the project ahead. The duration doesn't actually matter. What really matters is the coin getting listed for you to be able to trade.

From my experience i can say that bounty is prolonged by the not very strong projects, because they cant reach their fundraising goal. That happens not often, but if that happens projects with good reputation increase their bounty pools, but when not - it looks plain.

Normally the bounty projects run along with the ICO. When the ICO gets extended, the bounty project also gets extended. Ideally, when an ICO struggles to reach the soft-cap, the promoters should either reduce the cap or suspend the project rather than extending the timeline. Extending the dates will only result in the investors losing their confidence in the project.

That's not entirely true, there are a lot of bounty that prolong the duration period even before the they even start the fund raising,  my current bounty duration period has been prolonged they haven't even fix the ieo period,  so you see this is mostly the case with bounties of this days,  it is not always because they haven't met target.

Not only me experience added more weeks if we participated some bounty campaign.
Ill think it is normal to added weeks, And it depends on a project if they want to continue the bounty campaign.
Their are time on why added more weeks cause of these need to reach the softcap or hardcap not only that their are lots of reason also in why they want to added.

I quit immediately, bounty managers should learn to understand that bounty hunters are human and have feelings too hence should be treated as such, agreement is agreement.

If you have been promoting the project for that long and you believe in it, it is advisable that you continue but the bounty participants can request for additional fund to the bounty pool. The pool should be increased with not less than 40% of the original pool.

It's not unusual that projects can increase the number of weeks for which it is meant to be run. But the question is that "are bounty hunters getting paid for the extra week of work?"

Yes, I understand what you mean, but before participating in the bounty you should read their rules first. Usually they always include the provisions by joining the bounty program, meaning that you agree with the changes that might be made to the bounty. And also, if they increase the allocation of the bounty, it will not make any loss.

when filling out the form and registering into the bounty project it means that it has agreed with the rules made. bad if you think about it, if you make a mistake you can be deleted on list of participants and if there are additional time you must follow it. it is indeed the policy of the developer, and the bounty manager only carries out his duties

I have same experience like that. I still remember i was joined signature campaign. You may stop now its up to you but if the project have a good profit you can continue. Usually there is rule explain that they can change the rules anytime they want. You should aware to that rule

The bounty i am promoting presently suppose to end in October but was extended for extra 2months but i am not bothered because
1. There is no new bounty that is presently worth switching to.
2. Ez365 is a very good project and i am sure it will worth all the extra work

They are able to change the rules however they wish but it doesn't make sense for the bounty hunters to continue doing the bounty tasks for the same amount of bounty reward. The bounty allocation is reduced to cover their development needs due to the poor results of the token sale. Bounty hunters have no other choices and they waste their time if the bounty tokens worth pennies.

I dont think it's good for both. Because when the Bounty being longer, it will require hunter take more time doing task, and the number of stake will be higher make the value of one stake decrease. This is not a good way for you, now better for you to out of this bounty, if not, the result maybe bad for both. The bounty manage will need more time and the number of stake will be really big that they need to spend more time paying for that

we know that bounty managers have the power to do that, but bounty manager shouldnt do anything arbitrarily
most of bounty extended reasons are the project hasnt reached its softcap.
but i think to be fair, even the project hasnt reached softcap, it must stop. including the bounty, not continue to get more money without any deadline

It all depends on the project.There are so interesting projects that you just forget that you participate in the bounty).Does this happen to you?Or are you only interested in money?

Yes indeed the team, the manager can change the rules at any time, do you know the initial Mycro Jobs campaign is this bounty 3 months but after that they change the rules to the longest campaign for 1 year, the allocations are reduced instead of being added, prices on the market are getting down before distribution began, with the long campaign that we only get a little money by working very long.

The developers are really doing a terrible job they think they can get away with whatever they want and threat bounty hunters like trash but now they are unable to find enough members for their campaigns as many bounty hunters are simply quitting and prefer to do something else to get money in the markets, they did not realize that the main reason for the success of many of the coins currently in the market was the dedication and efforts of bounty hunters.

working for too long for the project is not a good idea
the main reason for them to extend the bounty is because the token is failed to reach the current goal
by getting more investor and extending the project will result in a lower value of the token

as long as the campaign is not a scam and still gets rewards that haven't changed or added that doesn't matter to me.
but if it adds weeks and the project fails I think it's too much. I've experienced things like this and get reward that is worthless.

Exactly, so once a certain project has enough time to do their ICO then after few weeks, they started to tell bounty campaign will be extended, then you should do your part and investigate about what is the real happen, is the softcap not reached yet, or no investors at all yet, besides you can check it as the bockchain is not lying, so there is a way for us to know the truth if the team doesn't want to answer.

Its not just a good idea but a terrible idea, especially when pool is not increased. Once I encounter such, I rather quit and do more meaningful things with my time that working off my butt for some developer with in humane working conditions. To ice the cake, some add token locks to the condition

All bounty campaign participants hope that if the project being promoted is successful and will surely feel disappointed they only do wasted work, if there is a bounty week there is usually an increase in the duration of the ICOs/IEOs project to get at least a softcap

I don't really remember if I had participated in a project that added extra weeks to the bounty campaign. For me personally this will certainly make many people participating will feel that this project is not finished and they will feel that it is just a waste of time. But, maybe there is a separate reason why the project is getting longer, maybe also so that the project can achieve what has been targeted right and if the project is successful we will also feel the results.

This is not important fact even if those projects have good position, because this year totally low investor for new projects. But i want recommend that the real project don't agree long time bounty program because there token sales will be successful in short time so never need extra time. Basically if one project want IEO in binance then there will no need long time bounty program because binance not accepted it.

Its no issue if the fundraising sales is still ongoing on exchange, this can make the team extend the bounty period until the ICO/IEO is over, not all bounty projects that got extended are crap like many said on here

I have participated in so many bounties and I have seen many bounties who ended on time and some even before time EIDOO is the example of such bounty, I participated in EIDOO bounty campaign and it was ended before time.
YES there are also some bounties that includes extra weeks, such bounties are of those projects who are most of time struggle to meet their soft and hard caps, in simple words they struggle to obtain required level of investments in their projects, This is the major reason why they drag the bounty campaigns that long because they need extra time and the marketing support from bounty participants to help attract investments in their projects. In my personal experience such bounty campaigns prove unsuccessful from bounty hunter's point of view but this is not always the case. This is my personal experience maybe there were bounty campaigns who may have rewarded well for being extended.. SO keep on participating in such campaigns don't quit in the mid way because if they extend the bounty campaigns ending date, they also increase the amount of skates to be awarded to participants.

Extending the bounty period seems like a normal thing because the team has a reason why they extended the bounty period. The reason they often say is because the sale of tokens that have not reached the target and a project must have estimated funds to finance the project and also the cost for listing on the exchanger

sometimes it can be beyond the target, but if the reason makes sense then you can follow it while there is something that doesn't make sense then trace it back

If you think you will earn huge in that project then just countinue working its worth to wait, better to do research on the bounty before continue working because some bounty extend weeks are just a waste of time, they will just waste your effort.

the thing that makes the extension of time of a project is
- when the funds have not yet reached softcap
- when the funds almost reach the hardcap
As for other things, I think it is a reason that needs attention, especially if the extension is long enough. in general, I will not support the project when they extend their advertising for no apparent reason.

I have been promoting this project for nearly 12 weeks now. The money I hunt is also very good, my friends. I think we should continue advertising for another 8 weeks.

There were so many bounty hunters like me who were tricked about bonuses and salaries when doing. I recommend that you stop taking it for another 8 weeks. I think it was black, so you're lucky.

It is interesting how the very same thing can mean different things depending on the context, when icos were really popular it was not rare for the bounty campaign to be extended but this meant that the campaign was so successful that developers wanted to extend it so more people will get to know the project and get even more money to an already successful campaign, but now that means that developers did not got the money that they wanted and are trying their best to get any interest from investors.

Actually, we don’t know which project will be worthy or not because it’s depend on the token sell and bounty pool how much big. A lot of participants will be join in the long term bounty campaign so that in generally payment is reduce end of the final token allocation. I will give example many projects didn’t pay reward end of the campaign but project was big successful and i think payment is depend on the dev.                   

As far as I remember there were a lot of such projects, but unfortunately also many of them ended in failure. For sure no one can guarantee that adding weeks to the bounty campaign will give a good result. Lately the fate of the bounty has become like a lottery.

Adding more to bounty weeks is definitely not a guarantee that the project will bring huge reward and it doesn't mean it will fail either, its the bounty hunter's choice if they want to continue or not, if the project is promising it might worth it in the end

New bounties are out now and i like few ones among them but i am presently stuck with ez365 because they add extra weeks making it 20 weeks, the longest one for me this year but i have no choice because ez365 ain't bad at all, i hope i don't end up wasting my tine

They failed already thats why they want to add more week so the ICO get enough fund to atleast have the softcap.  If they really serious about the project its doesnt matter how much money they raised , and just want to add funds so they can start the project with more funding and not only hoping for investors ro have a successful project.

From what I know, the EZ365 bounty can exit the campaign at any time and we still get the stake that has been obtained. I think EZ365 is a good project and will continue the project even though the sale of tokens is not in line with the target

I have done several bounty in the past and the latest is beginning of 2019 and they have extend the duration of the bounty, many of bounty hunters yelled at them but in the end they pay like they promise to us. It's common I think, they need more money so they need more ads for their project.

i dont think adding bounty time is always failed project
but it only indicates that the project tends to fail.

so, what's the purpose of set softcap. if not to know how much money needed for developing project?
dev needs money to develop the project, and minimal money to develop money is softcap itself.

But that little proves that the bounties that extend their periods indicate they have failed because the targets they have set are not reached on time. there is also the possibility that their team will not work seriously so it will be difficult to achieve their sales targets in bringing in investors.

If the bounty project wants to expand the campaign by an additional 8 weeks, they must first increase their budget appropriately. But if they do not increase the budget but continue expanding the campaign, it is best to abandon it and look for another bounty. You will work for them for free for 8 weeks and receive a lower amount if the project is successful

I've come to understand how new projects play their tricks with fund raising and bounty rewards, any bounty that has low weeks like a month are the best, they never failed me once and those who add extra weeks means they have a problem and that's soft cap, they just extend the bounty for nothing sake

Extra weeks on bounties are nothing new in this forum, almost all of them when ICO sales have not reached the target the team took that step for the continuity of the project.
Now it depends on each individual if there are additional weeks we are required to keep working on the project, if not then the old weekly stake will disappear then I personally will continue to follow these rules.

i have experienced that one, i have participated a bounty campaign and they added extra weeks but at the end it didn't go well at the end because they didn't pay us at the end of the campaign and that was the worst one.

I think bounty extention up to 8 more weeks is your advantage as hunter because all we know that if bounty will extend you are the one who have benefits becauae you can earn with extention also. And if you are promoting a good campaign, I think you wish it will extend for a year.

Just like you I have been also experience to participate in several bounty campaigns that used to extend the duration of their sales and yeah some of it became succeed somehow. However, before you take and proceed in extended week make sure that you'll get an enough reward but if not then leave it because just like you what you have mentioned it will be just a waste of time.

Indeed, for the expansion of the bounty campaign, it's not a strange thing for everyone here, it happens very often when the projects get into issues like failing to achieve softcap or implementation plans being delayed, forced to take long to complete and when projects fall into such a situation, we may need to consider for continued engagement. Because from my experience, these projects will soon become dead projects, continuing to participate in bounty only takes us a lot more time, a lot of people don't want to give up and they didn't get anything from the project except sorry

It's just rediculous and as for me such increment will reduce my expectation from such a project

That is if there is an increase in the allocation of the bounty and that is also if the payment system is allocated fix every week. but if the staking system per week I think it would not be a profitable disadvantage because they have to work longer and it also receives an equal payment.

I have experienced this many times, maybe I often get bounties with an additional long project duration, most of which fail and don't get paid when 2018. But there are also those who pay well, it all depends on the project itself, whether they are serious and committed to bounty participants, or there are also those who do not appreciate the participants and kick the participants without being paid.

indeed there are many things that often happen like that but only a few projects have success rates, even though the bounty campaign program is extended but the projects offered are not very useful then no one is interested, for bounty campaigns that have an additional duration then there should also be tolerance in the form of being willing or not and there must be no coercion.

Really it will sad news for all bounty hunters  when bounty campaign has extended few more weeks but we don't understand that why they are extending the bounty campaign because some time the ico or ieo did not reach the target of funds to launch their project or it will be scam projects so better is we check the ICO or IEO rating and team members before going to promote any bounty campaigns.

Depends on how quality the project is, there was a time I was promoting a project for 10 weeks and they suddenly added another 10 weeks, it wasn't funny at all because I had a good project I wanted to join so I messaged the Bounty Manager and begged him to save my stakes so that I can exit the campaign, the BM agreed and I left the campaign with my stakes intact, but if I didn't have another good campaign I wanted to join at that moment, I would have continued with that particular one.

8 weeks is not much for a bounty company, although I agree with you that any unauthorized extension spoils the mood. In the past there were companies that extended for half a year, and after that did not pay anything.
Therefore, I always try to leave the company if it was extended and there is the opportunity to exit without losing the work done.

I don't think it's very unusual. Some good project run for almost half a year. The project team does that to maximize their token sale so that they can raise enough funds for future development.

i guess you are lucky to get a good BM like that, because normally BM doesn't care about that at all and stakes won't be credited. but apart from the extra weeks there is at least a strong reason there, and as long as those reasons still make sense i don't think it's a problem and still to continue the campaign to the end

In 2018 it happened to a number of projects who extended their ICO timing and so also increased the bounty campaigns time period it was because in that year during the ICO many projects faced the timing where any bad news dumped the market and in that market the investors often do not invest but after that it became the normal thing for the projects that if they not achieved the target then they increase the time of ICO and bounty campaign which I think have to end up as I also favor you that many of them meet that result because of the bad result and that bad result comes because of the weaknesses of the developers.

As a bounty hunter I'd say that having an additional week to the campaign makes the bounty unsuccessful and probably a flop one. And I guess I might be considering that thing as a project that does not comply with their words. Because if they do, they should have been stopping the bounty and still paying those who participated.

If the compensation received in the bounty is in weekly basis, it will be the best to continue. But if the condition is that you'll get compensated in the end of the period, better to check the status of the project. If the project has continuous growth of investments, it will be good to continue. But if there are issues circling about the project, it might be the best to reassess if it still worth it. Also, check the threads for scam accusations to help determine the best possible strategy in your case.

It became a good project but the devs suck and didn't pay me tho. It's not that it's an advisable thing to promote a project that is going to extend for more weeks, it is better to check up on their sales or check if there is any updates that you may think they are still doing well. If you think they're not going anywhere with those, you can just leave especially in this type of market.

Do you mean those projects that currently extend the bounty program or for all the time?In today's situation, I can assure you that many bounty companies are increasing the timing of the event.Here is a project that holds bounty for about 1 year and still continues.I don't know whether this project will be successful or not:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4631900.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4631900.0)

For me adding a few more weeks to bounty campaign is just fine as long as the rewards is also getting larger because I am not just thinking about promoting the project but as well as for the benefits of my own sake of course. Well, it must be relevant and reasonable for the project to extend their campaign. But if they extended their campaign without valid reason, it will just play as a burden for me because there are lots of potential projects that are awaiting to be unlocked which I do also want to get engage with. For me, it still depends if the extension will be worthy or not. If it will be worthy, then I will going to proceed but if the extension will not be worthy, I will just withdraw from it because I am still get paid for the weeks I have get engage on promoting their project.

The mentality of doing extra work will depend on the good project. When the project is good and the budget is good, the mind wants to work longer. Otherwise the mentality of the work is lost.

This about how worth of that project. Not all project with bounty under 8 weeks always happen good.
But i think added 8 weeks is so long if there are 12 weeks before.

So far only limited bounties that add more weeks to bounty duration ends up a successful one but this doesn't mean that every single bounty projects that add more weeks to bounty duration are scam or will all fail, its all about trying

very true, people are more willingly to work extra when there is a good motivational factor, nobody will desire to work extra if there won't be any motivation whatsoever, aside from being motivated, the project in question matters as well, if a project has all the ingredient of success and has the right hands on deck to push the project to the right point, such factors can also be motivation to make people to work extra time in a project,
however, a project that don't really possess this factors and not willingly to compensate for the extra time is not worth the trouble,
so if the project would worth my time and the pool is increase yes i would definitely working extra especially when the additional time is not too long. 

there are two kinds about the bounty time. they cut some weeks or they added some weeks for the campaign. they cut some weeks because the project is success earlier OR they feel that the project will fail. they added some weeks because they still need some funds from the token sell and they feel that there will be some investors will coming. but of course added some weeks in the middle or in the end of campaign will make hunters frustated.

Things don't work like this in crypto space anymore, most ridicule looking projects do better than impressing looking projects, you can't predict which bounty will turn out good so i advice you to let your mind work longer on any project unless they are fake

In the first place, you should never join a long bounty campaign, if the campaign is paused then you have wasted a lot of time, check the project if it really has potential so you will not be blaming anyone if the project is paused or a failure, join a short campaign with an option that you can keep your stake if you leave the campaign.

Well having this kind of announcement from the dev/manager is disappointing because you're expecting the campaign will going to end but then there's an extension for few more weeks. I experienced this before its either they will pause the campaign or extend it. However it doesnt mean the project will fail but majority of campaign who did this do fail. Thats why its important to be careful when choosing where to participate or else your effort will be wasted.

You have a point but you can never tell if the short bounty campaign will be extended or not, I've seen whereby a four weeks bounty campaign turn eight weeks and I have no choice but to complete it, getting paid matter most to me, I don't care how long it takes

All you have to do is you have to ask the bounty manager if there are additional tokens for the campaign? If there isn't, leave. You can tell the bounty manager to calculate your stake. And you don't need to still that campaign. If there are additional tokens, you can continue your work.

These unexpected announcements not only created normal frustration, it was a sign that the project was not too successful, the end result may be a lesson and help us understand what to do in the face of such projects. Most projects will fail and with the result of such a large number, the best method and avoid wasting time is that we should definitely give up, maybe our efforts will be worth but very few are like that while if we use those extra weeks for a new project, sometimes the results will be brighter

Most of the time when a bounty campaign extends like this then their outcome won't good most of the time. A campaign with 4-week duration extends another 4 weeks, that can be acceptable. But if a 12 weeks bounty extends another 8 weeks, then sorry I won't do that!

Disagree with you, many of these long period of campaigns are most at times good campaigns with reasonable team behind the projects. Personally, I'm a bounty hunter with passion for good project to participate into. With this long period of bounty campaigns, I have made more money than signature campaign. MB8 was one of those bounty campaign that fetched me thousands of $$,$$$. This bounty was done over six months or above for those who completed their stay on the campaign.

Lol what kind of advantages for extra weeks?  If bounty budget will not increase. And ultimately your reward will be decrease because participants gradually increase but pool is fixed. If just in one campaign your wast 4-5 months even payment is not confirmed. Whatever it’s a good projects but extra 8 weeks means huge time. I'm not agree to participate 4-5 months long campaign.                       

Although this is great idea to increase more weeks but most people see it in a negative sense for example they think if you are increasing time it means your project is not worthy or you are not able to find investor for your project on the contrary it also gives you more time to work and increase your stakes.

Extra weeks to bounty duration doesn't mean the bounty is good or bad, you have to make sure the project is good enough so when they add additional weeks it will worth it, Some bounties have very low week like four weeks but they end up a shit project

There could either be a bad extension or good extension.
If the devs aren't doing well pre-extension, it might be better to ditch the project already because even if it did succeed after the extension, the profitability isn't that higher anymore as the possibility of how high it could be when it succeeded already in the first place.

12 weeks is 4 months . usual bounty only alocate 3 months and could be 4 maxed if they will extend but 4 months plus 8 weeks more is new to me and already verry risky to participate if they dont provide upfront payments after the 4 month course . what kind of ico was that ? how much money they need to collect or how much time they want , because the project supposed to get started asap after some investors have paid because they are also waiting for the results .

as long as I was in the cryptoqurrency room I had never or participated in a bounty campaign that lasted more than 12 weeks or even added a few more weeks. but if I am in that position, then I prefer to go and replace with others, if I no longer believe in the previous project.

Absolutely, there are some projects are giving extra weeks because they did not meet their target so they are giving that to reach their goal in a certain period of time. It is somehow bad to investors because of course, they want to be paid in an exact time that the project have said right from the beginning.

Of course, just like what have I said above, some are giving that because they did not meet their target but some project is really fruitful they are extending because they still want to run it and they have enough money to pay for bounty or signature campaigns, so there are still time and money to give for them as they are doing their job and that is to promote that particular campaign by wearing signatures.

In my experience, when this happens is awful news since it for the most part implies that the project isn't getting the ideal investment and they are postponing the finish of the ICO/IEO in the expectation they can get a couple of more USD
Be that as it may, it very well may be because of different reasons, similar to the ongoing pandemic around the globe

I don't see how it's bad when a project postponed bounty duration, maybe they postponed because the target of fundraising is not met yet, if the project is good enough for you just cope with the changes

Sometimes extending bounty duration is like expanding the results of the bounty campaign, I don't see anything wrong here, give a good use case and I will promote even if it's over 23 weeks

They can extend the bounty time, but I think they also have to add the bounty budget to make it fit. I have seen a lot of bounty expansion but they are not expanding their budget, this is bounty hunter abuse and projects that are bullshit for me

You're right, there are projects that needs to have extension for them to achieve what they're trying to meet. With proper communication between the team and participants I think hunters should understand the changes and besides usually its in the rules of the manager. Its simple if you think the project has potential and legit then having an extended weeks for the bounty would not be a problem.

if the project extends the bounty campaign and does not increase the pool, then I believe that this is a scam project and should not be trusted. most likely they will either not make payments at all, or because they will close their project. or they will freeze your rewards for 2 years ..

Agree. If they don't increase pool prize, showing they disregard the old bounty hunters. They are beating a dead house, fail their goal in the first bounty campaign. Thought by extent bounty campaign one more would attract more attention.

I have never seen a bounty of distribution keys in 2 years. And if it happens then it is definitely a scam project, how can they survive 2 years in this market while they are weak projects and not too many investors.

if I were a part of it, then I would forget about it and try to improve how to find a project to follow in their campaign. waiting for an extension of 2 weeks Up to 1 month is boring and if it exceeds this time, for me it would be better to focus on the next project

If those projects performance are good then i can do but otherwise unactive development projects i can't do. I will analysis their IEO/ICO similarity, If the project is close to success then of course i agree to be long extra week there.

It is okay, if they also add some more funds. But on the other hand there is a chance that new users will join the campaign so at the end you can earn much less. But if it could help the project to raise the soft-cap then it worths because without soft-cap, projects won´t start and you earn nothing for your spent time.

I have participated in a campaign that last for 6 months, at and the end? They talked they will not distribute any bounty tokens.  :D Many bounty managers and team members think that bounty hunters are just idi.ts and they can cheat them.  ::)

Most times, extra weeks are well rewarding, in the sense that the Bounty cap is increased in a bid to accommodate the extra weeks.

Most Bounties term it Bounty round 1/ round 2 to different stakes and reward quota.

It also highlights that the marketing is a job well done

You don´t have any rights as a bounty hunter, they have in rules that they can make any change during the campaign in most cases - so they are protected. Even they do not have something like that written in a campaign then you also have 0 chances to complain. Look at BlockBurn after few months they said they will not send anything to bounty hunters.  :D

for the project, it was really unfortunate. because before the campaign is over to my knowledge, bounty payments will be made after a few months the campaign is over. but when there is such notice it will be bad for participants.

at least if there are additional work days then there must be an additional allocation for the bounty campaign so that it will make the participants of the bounty campaign happy because what is done is proportional to its effort, because if it does not add to the allocation it will make the bounty campaign participants disappointed.

Yes, I have such an experience.  I've seen a lot of projects before that they add new weeks again after a certain amount of time. If they not add pool reward then i am not interested about that project. But i seen Such projects do not end well.  I'm not saying that every projects ends is not well.

Most likely a project will just fail anyway, so instead of wasting time still doing the job, it's better to just left the project and look for another one.
The reality in bounty hunting is that you'll not gonna make profit with every bounty you'll participate, some will fail while some will succeed, so look on the successful bounty and just forget the failed one and maybe learn a lesson from it.

I suggest you stop if the Bounty campaign adds extra weeks, because I also often join bounties like that and never get any reward. In my opinion it's a sign that they have not been able to develop their project so they added extra weeks. So most likely their project will fail.

This doesn't matter, it won't stop a project from paying up or not paying at all, I've seen extended bounty project that pay up in the end and I've seen extended bounty that refuse to pay bounty hunters, all this doesn't matter to me

That would be disrespect and credibility in the way we work. I never work with such people. If they have increased a few weeks, they have to give a corresponding reward. but if not, that is called labor exploitation. I recommend against that and leave the campaign, but keep the rewards you make for them. This is your way to protect your rights.

Well i will stay , unless the campaign pm is not increasing the allocated reward for the bounty campaign hunters and still worthy enough to a legit project rather than a scam one . In my opinion it is better to stay with some extra benefit rather than false attractive apple .

That duration for bounty campaign is too long, 1 year bounty campaign is very risky to join except you know the project is very good.
It is better to ask the bounty manager if you allowed to leave the campaign but not losing your stake, so you can search for another campaign.

I've promoted a project that came with 3phase.. I promoted each phase of the bounty for 4 months each.. only for them to tell us at the end of the day that they wont be paying us.. because they didnt raise any money.. and at the end of the day.. they did an exit scam with the few investors they could get.. so this taught me the max lenght I'll ever promote any project is 10 to 12 weeks.. if it exceeds that ... then I'm not interested

It is not uncommon for us to find projects that add up to a month's length of time, and the average project like that achieves a hardcap and the results we get are very satisfying, but we have to be much patience because the time we spend is very long, but if the results are satisfactory it will not be a problem.

unfortunately many bounty campaigns use this strategy, some even in good faith because the ico has not raised enough funds, but to reassure the bounty hunters they should make intermediate payments and increase the tokens allocated to the bounty

In my experience, when an ICO extends its bonus program it means that ICO is not attractive enough for investors. The evidence is that they did not raise enough funds and devised strategies to keep bounty hunters, expand the bounty program, increase the level of tokens that a bounty hunter can get ... etc.

Some of the campaigns that I participated in were not very good results when the tokens started listing on exchangers. Good or not the price of tokens on the market in my opinion depends on the project being done and not because of the short length of the campaign being done

Yes, if they expand the bounty campaign, then they need to increase the budget to calm the bounty hunter and not make any complaints. If the bounty expands without increasing the budget, you should not continue to participate in their project

If the project doesn't seem too promising to me, then most of the cases I don't work on extra weeks. I don't think any good project needs extra promotion. In my opinion, those projects extend the time who fail to meet their targets. So working on these projects nothing but a waste of time.

That is the rule of bounty campaign and you must follow it because usually if you don't continue then stake obtained since the first week will be burn, but most projects that do extra time for duration campaign of the end are not good because they only collect small amount of funds

it depends on the project. If the developer band impart a rational description to bounty participants and additionally the community, I think participants  preserve agree to that clarification and carry on the campaign. But I feel it every part of depends on us, whether we will carry on to the promotion or not as mostly every price operation gives the opportunity to desert the canvass in the central of the toll road and the stake obtained will stay behind safe.

I think its depends on project quality. If i see that the project going well, team work also good or they are very near to reach the hardcap i can continue. But this is very disgusting as long term work behind a project. Last time the LYDIAN LION project expand 8 weeks and changed their wallet address also. So this is very painful.

That's right, projects that extend the duration of promotions are projects that don't meet their targets, unless the project is made in a different round, and that's another story, and when there is an extension of time on a project, there are also two possibilities that will occur, the first can succeed with the target they set, and the second they fail miserably.

If they extending more weeks, and you are one of their bounty participants. I would rather to leave that project campaign rather than continue to promote their project. But of course, you need to ask permission to the bounty manager where you will no longer continue to promote their campaign and you will also ask the BM to save all the stakes you made during the phase 1 of their bounty period and once you confirm that your stake is safe then look for another project on which you think it has a potential to give good earnings in the future.

adding extra weeks for bounty projects is a bit good, but with a note that adding allocations to rewards,
is useless if extra weeks are held and rewards are still the same  :)

Bounty can be extended if the team are yet to meet their target and once it is extended, the participants can either choose to continue or stop. Thus, continuing in this type of bounty will depend on how good the project is, the bounty manager in charge, the allocation and how long the distribution will take place. Extending a bounty without increasing the allocation is not a good idea to me and this is where a good bounty manager comes into the picture, but if the allocation is increased and the project is worth it, that is, how committed the team is, then I don't mind continuing.

Extension of bounty campaign is not good, it can be the initial sign of failed project.
Usually, the extension occurred because the sale period doesn't going good, the project fund raising doesn't reach even the softcap target.
The extra weeks added on bounty campaign can causing delay on bounty payment because the end date of campaign is still can be extended later.

It depends on you to continue for as long as you have already earn your stakes for the weeks you have participated. But i think it is not necessary for a bounty campaign to add more weeks if there's no indicated in their rules.

Yes, because you already started it, but of course, it depends on the reason why they decided to extend. If they can't reach the minimum target during ico, then it is not worth it, or maybe if they only want to have more improvement of the project, that is for you to decide.
To make it simple, extending the campaign only means that they are only trying to extend the capabilities of the campaign or extending the life span of the project which is close to failure. Most of the time, projects like this still fail because the trust of the investors are not in the project even how much they work hard to keep it alive.

Mostly projects that extend the campaign has no demand and that will be wasting a lot of our time. YOu can see how geoma dao was turning into the scam project and it has been extending the cmapaign.

Dude, that's really strong evidence.

Extension of bounty campaign does not signify failure of project or failure to the bounty either, it could be that the team have not yet receive the satisfaction of the campaign and want more exposure in other for it to reach a wider audience, I have seen bounties that conduct phase 1&2 campaign and still manage to come out nice, while there are bounties that did only once yet there was no success and neither did the hunters get their reward.
If bounty will fail it will, extension has nothing to do with it, imo.

The point for extending the time frame is to engaged with more possible investors, if the team are not getting the traffics and the invesmtment that they've needed the chance of failing is high. There are reason but mostly the team failed and never to pay the rewards or even they've distributed the
tokens there's no value or no exchange to trade.

This happens almost in every project since 2018 until now the reason behind extending the bounty promotions is that the project is not getting or attracting much investors in order to raise their particular amount to fund the project but there are some projects the ended up successfully after having an extensions. For me, honestly I would still continue doing it since I have already started it, and why not continue doing it, who knows it could be one of the successful project to ever exist in crypto market.

I don't like that either, but if it's done for some acceptable reason, I don't think that's a problem. apart from that, sometimes they also add the prize. it could be the moment like what this writer said. Well, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

If projects are good, then those are get successful before time. But that's not mean, long running bounties are bad. Because saw many bounty campaigns running around a six to ten months even a years and got successful. Because of Epidemic, it's common extending the campaigns due to lack of investors.but be careful about scam project who continueously sell their token for years

Is there any feedback from the OP's status regarding the bounty that he was talking about? did he continue promoting this project and what's the outcome? Already more than 6 months from the time he posted this thread. And what project did he participated with?

On my end, long running bounties paid via their own coin or token have high chance that you will not get anything out of it because the possible scenario of abandoning the project is high. If they see that their project is not gaining support from the community or they have no enough funds to continue, they will just disappear without informing those bounty hunters that are promoting them.

Based on my experience yes, I have participated a bounty in the past and they extend the bounty because they can't collect the right amount they needed.
Also, there's no guarantee that they will be able to collect more if they will extend because usually good projects can easily get sold out, some even in minutes they are sold out already.


That's gonna be a waste of time then.. for me, I would just look at a bounty that will run in 1 month, so if it will extend for another month, it will not hurt us a lot since 2 months are not that long provided the task is easy.

I don't think so. because they are taking advantage of our strength without any other commitment. A good bounty project will usually not need to extend such promotion to prolong the token sale. The decision shows that they are failing to sell tokens and we can see that the project is a failure. so we should get out of the campaign before we get more exploited.

I can view this in two different perspectives.  I have participated in such bounties like this, that after some weeks of promotion, the team added another.  It depends on the hunter, if you see prospect in such bounty, it's an opportunity to gather more of such tokens, but if there is none, then it's better stop and find another promising project to join.  There are some that will pay at the end of the day and some will be waste of time and other resources.  Mycros bounty campaign lasted for more than a year and few people were able to finish it.  Though I didn't know what they got from it because I didn't participate.  So it all depends on the hunter's view of the project if it is good to continue or not.

I also like you, do not like the extended bounty. If they were serious, they would surely follow their original schedule. And if they want to expand, they first need to expand their budget to make bounty hunters happy with the next job.

In my opinion, expansion campaigns are those that are not supported by investors. If you continue to participate until the end of the campaign, the rewards you receive will be very low and not worth the time you spend, I guess. Anyway, that is still your decision.

If they don't expand the bounty budget, it's best to stop and look for a better campaign. Campaign expansion is not bad, sometimes they need to expand it to make it easier for ICOs or IEOs to succeed.

Extra weeks added to bounty is a turn off for me, once you add extra weeks, all i do is take my leave.
As long as  i get rewarded for proper tasks done when i work.

Most bounties add extra weeks to suffer candidates, while some increase the bounty cap, some do not which is not right.

indeed the dilemma in the state of the crypto market is experiencing a decline. several kinds of innovation are needed that can make a project that has been undertaken can be many more investors to join so that the project can be successful even with a minimum. what is clear is to increase the time to be longer with the goal of achieving the minimum value needed for the project to run. but it also cannot guarantee that the extension will end well and can solve the growing investment problem.

I find extension of the bounty campaign really infuriating
 This is one the first symptoms that the management isn't planning things properly and isn't sticking to their words.

Sometimes its good to stay in bounty campaign if they extended the duration of it but you should consider some aspects of the campaign why they extended it. Bounty campaign such at that should tally the previous weeks and consider some participants if they want to leave or not but they will pay the exact stakes they earned during the time they participated. I think 1 month for extenstion is way better to consider and more than it is not advisable to continue anymore. They should also increase the allocation since the campaign is extended which if not the allocated pool will become small and not acceptable for participats.

As per the original rule, they can change it anytime they want. So bounty expansion is also included in their calculations. And it's not really as bad as you might think, if it's a good project. I believe many people will still have fun and accept it

It is common to bounties before during the times that I used to join in altcoin campaigns some reason is to reached the target. During this time, I cant really say. Well some other campaigns when they extended their bounty, it is OK for some members to stop promoting that campaign but the stakes earned will remain and will still be given to the participants.

They also have bounty end dates, extending that date is really unethical even though you have mentioned it. Let me ask you this way, you are working somewhere and you are getting paid 1000$ for a month, at the last week they decided to extend it a week or two more but they are paying the same. So do you think it is fair?

Hunters have no choice but to accept it as since leaving it in middle might lead to no rewards for the all work they have done.

This is a picture of a project, at any time changes can occur at any time. especially regarding the duration of time sometimes lasts 4 weeks and then there is renewal plus 4 weeks.

As long as you are sure and do not spend your time and you will continue, why not ... Good luck.

I heard some bounty campaigns added more weeks for the project and even the campaign because they did nit meet the minimum quota but they have campaign who are successful.

I heard some bounty campaigns added more weeks for the project and even the campaign because they did nit meet the minimum quota but they have campaign who are successful because they add more weeks or they extebded the end of the project so they can get a enougj funds to theur project but the others do that to get more funds and once the project is done they all gone that is their technique.

In that case i will continue work only if the project has announced a successful fund raise or atleast soft cap success otherwise there is no need to promote such a project if it is struggling to raise funds because it will close and you will not receive anything so you have wasted 12 weeks and it does not make sense to waste 8 more and this strategy is safe because after 12 weeks you can contact bounty manager to lock your stakes and if the project ends up to raise soft cap after 8 more weeks then you will still get reward for your 12 weeks of work this is the best strategy to follow because personally i have not seen good ending with extended bounty campaigns.

Very few projects succeed when they add extra weeks to Bounty campaign, when they delay with adding an extra week of Bounty, it indicates that their project is not ready, they hurriedly made the Bounty without counting a few details. They must be fully prepared with a clear RoadMap without delay.

Haha. When it comes in bounty campaign specially in signature campaign, I am really unluck. I had joined a campaign when I stepped as jr member, I already moved in member rank, the campaign does not yet end. I don't know if they ended already but I have to quit for that campaign since I wore their sig materials for almost 12 months with free.
There are bounties that really need for an extension because soft cap maybe not reach while others want to add more their funds. If that is the scenario, it will be good if the bounty will add also some tokens.

For me adding extra weeks in a bounty campaign has never worked because what happens is that even if the project raises good funds still the the bounty rewards are not increased as a result of extension and due to extension thousands of more hunters join the campaign that result in diluting the reward and everyone getting peanuts out of the campaign in the end.

Can't remember if I have joined this kind of campaign but it really is going to be disappointing when you realize you are tricked as promised it will end n 4 weeks and yet another few weeks were added. It ruins your plan for the next days and yet its still unsure whether the project is going to be successful.

Isn't this an indication of the team being untrustworthy?

This is what all people don't want when they no longer hold fast to their own words, and what you have to understand is that they also seek benefits through other people, so sometimes they no longer heed the words they once issued previous.

If you're in their signature campaign and participants in the signature is much, just calculate the stakes and do your calculations. If it doesn't favour you, leave and if you think it will, continue it.

Everyone also counts the bets from the beginning before they start joining any campaign, I think this is always done by bounty hunters who are not rash, because it would be very useless if someone counted the bounty bets after he joined the bounty.

I don't like promoting a bounty project for too long, while you are busy with a project ( of which you aren't sure you will get paid) some new better one may show up, but still you have to consider whether to leave or not, few bounty managers save your work on spreadsheet so you can leave to join another bounty campaign

Generally, bounty campaigns are around 8 to 12 weeks. If it's more than 12 weeks, I tend to stop and choose another project. Some of the projects I've ever played where bounty campaign lasted more than 12 weeks, tends to be problematic, either the payment or the project is stopped and does not pay.

Yes, but if the Bounty project is good and deserves to be promoted, then it lasts a little longer. I don't think it's a problem, only if the project is not of good quality, I think everyone will obviously go and join in another project.

Yeah extending isn’t a bad even it’s apart of bounty campaign, teams have right to change their general terms. But it’s matter about of allocation, it would be increase. Rather you didn’t expect 20$,50$ rewards instead of 23 weeks. Meanwhile we seeing mostly bounty did extend without increasing. It's seems worst changing in bounty.                    

Most of the signature campaign doesn't allow leaving in mid of campaign! If you leave your whole works/stakes will be abandoned! That's why people hate extension in bounty campaigns! Though some bounty manager realizes this situation, that's why nowadays they let participants leave the signature after 4 weeks or after the first phase of bounty campaign!

Little bit disagree with your statement. I don't think most of the signature campaign doesn't allow leaving in mid of campaign. But it's true that some campaigns don't allow it which is really uncomfortable situation for hunters. And yes specially those BM who are really reputed by their work they will give the chance to bounty hunters to leave in mid of signature campaign.

There are some who still do not permit. This is why some users prefer to participate in bounty campaigns that pay weekly, although it is rare to find. Had it ben it is social media bounty, you right not find continuing, because it gives room to participate in as many bounty campaigns as possible. In fact, you can decide to quit when it comes to that and your stakes will remain, except in rare cases.

I think the extension of the duration of the bounty does not matter if their project is trusted and has entered the market, I often get projects like that but I always follow the existing rules and continue until the end of the period, but if the project progress is slow even the funds they get a little better leave only

though its a choice and if you observe that as its going ooo, they will make it you can continue because in some cases patient dog eat the fattest  bone, and if its the others side pursue your leg. don't know maybe you should run ooo. you can leave the project just take it as you have done your best so leave the rest

yup! that's right !!
if they run a clear project and the team really works hard for its development, we should keep following it to the end. i have also participated in several such projects and i always follow them to the end, the results are also quite good.

indeed, not all the extra time is good for some projects. some of them are sometimes just cheats and the extra time is just a strategy to attract more investor money into their pockets and after that they disappear. keep careful

It's not. There so many campaigns that erased the user's stake when they were leaving the campaign and mostly the projects were doing this. I have been seeing hundreds of campaigns that were doing it dude.
It's rare to see a campaign that still keeps the stake of participants that already leave the campaign.

Sometimes it kinda sucks, but hey it is gonna be an extra earnings due to extra weeks given.
I've read a thread yesterday about some bounties having "phases" of payments.
That's what people should probably avoid. It's synonymous to saying that payments are about to be delayed, even though at some cases delays are pretty much understandable..

Extending campaign period is not bad because they also rely on their fund raising timeframe. But what is unacceptable is the deletion of stakes once you leave. Its like you already work for it and cannot earned those stakes. Im just talking about when the campaign ended and decided to extend. A lot of projects doing it like forcing hunters not to remove signature, for me its like abusing the rules cause they wanted to have more time on exposure on forum and sometime delaying the counting of stakes. Greedy move, so Its better if you joined only those considerate managers.

This happens to a lot of projects. It is understandable that projects need more time for them to gather funds for development. However, as you said forcing participants not to leave by making a rule that stakes will be removed once you left is abusive.  That is why as much as possible I look for BTC payment bounties to avoid this kind of risk when joining bounties.

Some campaigns are reasonable to extend their campaign. I also understand their situation that in order to gain more investors they need to extend their bounty campaign. But I guess they should announce it early if they need to extend it, I'm sure some bounty hunters will also disappointed if they know that after the long time promoting their campaign, they will extend it again. I think additional 1 month is good for bounty extension. Some BM will allow their participants to leave but they should wait for their payments after the campaign. In your case, I think you should better to ask for your total stakes to be summary and leave it. Start to find new campaign.

Some of the projects I have been involved in have also experienced additional time for several weeks and at that time most of the participants were successful in the project. If you want to continue, you should first check how much sales the project has received since most of the projects last a long time because they are not achieving their sales goals, by extending the bonuses and the sale time. In sales, they hope they can achieve their goals in sales.

Alas, there are many precedents when a company was extended up to one year and as a result, payments were tiny.
Unfortunately, one cannot predict what outcome awaits you.

However, the following can be said. If the project extends the Bounty company, then the project has problems with raising funds,
and if the project has problems with raising funds at the initial stage, it is not known what will happen to it in the future.

Maybe it won’t collect anything at all.
Therefore, first of all, be interested in how much the project raised funds and ask for evidence.

If the team already express the plan to extend their campaign right before the first round started I believe they truly meant what they said.

But it could mean they didn't get much funds thru their IEO/ICO. Keep an eye to the team's telegram channel because there must be something out there you will notice like if the team members who was once busy there started not appearing for days.

That is too risky, that is almost half of a year promoting a project. If the compensation worth it and you have look at the experience of the project team if they can deliver on the promises, you can go ahead. It will be most painful if you proceed and the project failed.

I haven't seen it, so far I've only seen 12 weeks. but if there is extra time, it will be very boring for prize hunters. not to mention, waiting for the distribution of tokens.

If that was adding more reward to the participants and that could be fine. We can take a look at oikoss which has added more reward as the duration will be doubled from 4 weeks into the 8 weeks.
If that 's also a trusted coin and why not? as long as you will get a good result at the end of campaign.

if your stake can be saved in spreadsheet you should not continue in the extra weeks because I have quite bad experience with projects that do that but if you have confidence that the project will give you a lot of money then continue

Sometimes is a bad sign and sometimes is not, I saw a few Icos extending it because they need to collect more fund and after that just fail and a few bounties just extend with more tokens/coins allocation to keep spreading the word about the project.

An extended bounty is not a problem, as long as the allocation is added surely the participants do not mind. But sometimes there are also bounties who don't want to add allocations and always extend the duration, which is what the bounty participants don't like.

What you should consider is
1. What was the reason for such extension?
2. Was the reward increased?
3. Does the reward worth the time allocated to the campaign?
and finally, what attracted you to the campaign. If you like the project, it's best you hang in there and finish up with the campaign.

I dont like being extended when you are doing a long time campaign already. The managers were not to blame for having an extension but we cant also blame the team. Maybe their goal was not expected or did not raised any good sales. Like most projects that doing these are surely will have a chance to fail, Im not saying they are not sucesful but having not enough budget for the project means ita gonna have a delay and that word is one thing many hunters hate to hear.

But I appreciate some managers who are keen and understandable that can let you exit the campaign while your stake for previous weeks are save and acknowledge.

It's ok when projects describes why they decided to add extra weeks to bounty campaign. But the description must be clear and connects current economic situation.

Reasons like: "the projects show so much interest, so we decided to extend bounty campaign" or "we extend campaign, because lots of investors wants to make an investment" and something like that are lame excuses. All this means that there is no interest in the projects and they just want to raise more money.

Also one must look on current bounty length. If it runs already for 3-6 months, extra weeks is an indicator that you will waste time with them.

But if campaign runs for 1 month and team decided to add one more month - it is ok with me. 1 month of advertising is not always enough to introduce projects the World.

some people do not like extending the bounty period, but some people don't mind this as long as the reward is added. but, it will be very good when they pay a reward every week, so it doesn't matter if they want to extend the bounty period. unfortunately, sometimes they increase the bounty period by a few months, then the rewards are not added, sometimes it makes some people lose faith in a project.

In this case, if you still believes in the reason why you started in the first place, then I don't think there is any issue not continuing; also another thing comes to play and that is, will the allocation be increased, if yes then I think you can continue but if the allocation isn't increased nor the new allocation added isn't encouraging, you can stop participating. Also, checking the team to know how serious they are matters too so that you don't end up wasting your time.

Extending a bounty campaign duration by adding more weeks do not determine if the bounty will do well. Just know before you continue be sure the bounty allocation is increased. I am currently participating in Oikos bounty. Rhrt increased the allocation.

Adding extra weeks is the first signal that this project will fail or you will have problems with it.

Good projects while planning their roadmap and milestones discuss all the necessary time periods for particular job to be done. If you did not make it on time and need extra time - this means something goes wrong and there is a problem.

If bounty extended, then pull must be increased. Everything has a price, everything can be measured, everything has balance in this world. When you increase something, something else must be increased also. Without it the scales of success (bounty hunter or project side) turn down.

I once joined bounty that has an extra week and I get commensurate results
I also joined bounty who had an extra week but give very disappointing results
so it's all up to you, want to continue or not

I am currently also participating in a bounty campaign that adds workdays and gets an additional allocation for bounty campaign participants, but I don't mind that because I see the prizes paid have been registered at a large exchange and have a good trading volume so I but doing the task of this campaign.

There are lots of bounty campaign going these days with bitcointalk and other platforms. Some bounty has plans for some weeks but some bounty added some extra weeks to really gain the community participation  in it. They also add some extra reward with increasing weeks. With promotion on social media they increase their hard cap or soft cap. Bounty hunter does not mind that. They only know that Bounty should pay their coin on time. So adding extra week is always good for a regular bounty hunters because they will increase their portion in total funds.

Of course it will be better, because every project that adds weeks because the team targets are not achieved, but it needs to be seen in the addition of allocations for bounty hunters, as I have experienced, projects that add weeks, then they will increase their allocation. like the second round project.

First thing is investigate if they reached there soft or hard cap, Sometime the reason they extend because they don't have much investor to invest with.
If their sale is going well isuggest you to continue on the campaign. But adding extra week on the campaign make your profit less.

Even though I've been involved in extended bounty for 2 more months,  finally I got good rewards from them. As long as they expand the campaign and increase its budget, I believe everything will be fine and nothing to worry about it.

Sometimes it happens with a bounty program that extra time is added to expand the promotion. It is not entirely common, if so, to ask the reasons for project support. From personal experience, it has already happened to me,
I continued and the reward was paid. Even if there was a problem, it was always possible to agree. I'm currently in a campaign where extra time has been added. But it's always good to check and verify everything.

Bounty expansion is not bad at all, as long as after the bounty ends and they make distribution as they say, then the project is still good and worth the price. I used to have good results with such bounty, so I'm not too concerned about their expansion. And you can continue to participate, or leave it, all is your decision

Not only that. You as a bounty hunter will have the time to consolidate to have more tokens allocated for your stakes. The most important of all though is that if the project is legit. You can only complain if the project is actually a scam. Its not however fun for everyone though. 

For someone who expects to move to another campaign will only conflict with his situation especially if the rules say you will not get any stakes if you remove the signature and avatar before the campaign ends.

But most exchange have rule like if you quit in the middle or before the campaign ends you will never get any stakes even for the completed weeks that is why users are concerned about their expansion.

IMO, in most cases that bounty will not be worth to promote so just quit and find a better one.

I was participating some bounty same of additional many weeks. Although it's doesn't matter if there very promising project with IEO listing in popular exchange. Good bounty additional extra week no problem if inside bounty rewards.

some people will certainly think if the addition of weeks to promote projects that may not necessarily be able to enter the exchange market they would prefer to stop not continuing to promote related projects, even more so if pre-sales of related projects are not able to achieve the expected targets, of course without thinking at length prize hunters will move on to promote other more promising projects

It's extremely frustrating to me... You run a Bounty dedicatedly for a long period of time only to have the project extending it subsequently. It can be very tiring and sometimes, leads to loss of continuation as a result of loss in interest. I rarely continue on bounties that get extended, however, depending on the project and how the potentials are, I could continue on the bounty even after it has been extended.

It's matter of choice, but in some cases one can continue because sometimes the is best is reserve to the last. But in some projects is a waste of time and energy.
It's Base on personal conviction after considering the necessary information.

previously I had never promoted a project with a long duration and recently I started to join a project with a long duration. for me it does not matter, as long as the project you are participating in is not suspicious and is really real. This is a choice, and of course the decision depends on you, if you are sure then continue and if you are not sure then leave or replace with another project.

I think it does not matter if the projects are not scam.  Because the projects have different duration of time. We should be careful in choosing the projects because it will be useless if the projects are scam and we waste much of time because of it.

For my opinion, if the bounty was already run for 12 weeks, that means the project didn't get enough fund for their campaign.
If I were you, ask a permission to a bounty manager to leave the campaign so that all the stakes you gained and worked from them
will be safe, because usually with the project like that is mostly ended up for nothing and sometimes it become scam in the end.

I am also a regular participant in bonus campaigns on forums. Depending on the campaign, the bonus is different. If you participate in a weekly campaign, the extra week will give you a bonus. I usually write articles by topic and by week. But not all long-term projects bring you high bonuses. It takes a lot of your time and effort. Please research carefully before participating.

Yes, we look at the quality of the project, not the short duration of the promotion. I think that now there are many bounties doing long-term promotions after that, we have to wait even longer for distribution, but we still research in the projects we are doing because if we don't do the research, then it will be useless if the project fails at the end.
