Many people keep saying bounty is over, the bounty has no future! I just want to say shut up your mouth, please. You know nothing. Bounty is still good, a regular bounty hunter is still earning good money from it. Just research this year. From the first month of this year, a regular bounty hunter got money from IRONX, VANTA, MiraCletele, Harmony, Coinhe, SERO, Tokoin, and so on. They are leading their life through bounty earnings. Bounty reward is not like before, you have to forget the golden time of it and try to use to with the present condition and keep doing good bounties. Good Luck Hunters.

It's not like what you think but bounty has a very limited scope if you're looking for a source. Okay, we say that many bounty hunters earned from those past bounties that you have joined and it became lucrative to all of you.

But what's next? it's unsure if there will be a the same bounty that will exist within the next weeks. And if you're good in choosing good bounties that actually pay their hunters, you could share it to others who keeps on joining failed bounty.

Im still not sure about that but in my experience, if this has already happened since the bounty as started in the past. If we go back again to the old-time history and we will see if the condition almost the same.
I remember when i participated in the bounty campaign in 2016 and there were a lot of scam projects too. Basically, the situation looks the same with what the situation in the past but the increase of the scam projects makes it a small difference in choosing the bounty project right now.
People must do their own research but the fact that those new participants are joining almost all of the bounties but when they are getting fucked by scam project and they are complaining about that right now.

I am not agree with you.If you compare bounty in 2017 and 2019 then bounty reward is very low.Yes bounty is not over but bounty hunter received low reward now a days.That's why they are talking that bounty is over.But If I told you in professional way then bounty has no future.And it's true.Because bounty is free money not a professional work.You are a old member maybe you read many article about bounty have future or not.

Yes, I totally agree with you, bro, maybe the bounty has lost its golden peak, but that doesn't make the bounty program die. There are still many good ICO or IEO projects that offer bounty programs for bounty hunters.

It's totally different than before.
And also differ on projects. That's why there are many people telling that Bounty campaigns are dead or over, because they experienced those very huge bear market around 2017-2018.
Most of the bounty projects before are really down and different bounty campaigns turned into scam or vanish.

It is good that bounty hunting is still working for you but you do not have to push your ideas to others. It is not every day that you will find a good bounty to work with. And actually, pushing bounty hunting is counter-productive to the remaining bounty hunters still making a profit from it. If bounty hunters grow on number again, it will become saturated again, will be less profitable and may be filled with scammers.

This assumption is adjusted to the average that they follow, it is natural for them, and if taken from the beginning of the year in the total number of averages, the ratio of successful bounties is only one-third of the total outstanding throughout the year, there are still many bounties that are considered quality ended in failure. Of the few that you mentioned, ironx is still not really successful because of low liquidity and only full of sell orders. I understand what you mean, but their assumptions are also correct.

If people believe that bounty hunting is over for them, then we have had no choice but to believe that it is for them, they participated in bounty hunting and are disappointed on the results, and if you are getting good results from participating then you can continue participating, no problem at all on both members,

those who say the bounty has ended, because they consider the bounty like a job, so they don't get money according to their expectations,
In my opinion, Bounty is still going well as before, maybe the only difference is the allocation of prize pools provided, not the same as a few years ago ...

Yeah your right it's about the adoption as the market is keep on shifting and once the market will goes down the bounty project will be affected also but it doesn't mean that the bounty is over.

In bear season, you just need to find a good project and expect that the reward is not the same compare to the peak season. Don't ever compare the earnings of bear to peak as they are very different and as a bounty participants you should know that.

A lot of people, in general, are saying it's over because most of the ones running it are the mostly non-reputable type of projects, and most are going to scam you. There are a lot of people who are reporting that they have been not paid with their jobs. I think you should clear things out that it's not that it's over, it's just that the quality bounties are almost gone. Just like you said, it's not like before.

Perhaps many people say that bounty is over, because comparing income in 2017-2018 is what we really need
admit in that year it was very easy to make large amounts of money. For bounty this year, the income was very
low. We shouldn't despair, there must be a moment when the glory of the bounty will return. What we have to do
Now just be patient, follow the bounty, and still be careful in choosing projects because of the number of scam
projects in 2019 this is quite a lot.

Bounty is not a project, it is part of a project used to attract investors in the bitcointalk community, so when the cryptocurrency projects are launched, it will still be used.

People have been saying 'X is over' for so many things online (especially with online money-making opportunities) that I've since lost count long ago. While I agree most bounty campaigns have gone down in compensation and sometimes even quality over the last many months and even year, there's still money to be made from bounties if you're willing to put the work into it and you're willing to set your mind to it. People are generally unwilling to share how they earn money and end up in good positions, but putting in work is definitely one of the biggest factors.

It's not their fault for saying that bounty is over. OP, you've stated a few successful bounties for this year, do you think all of bounty hunters were part of the campaigns that you've mentioned? I don't think so. Those people that were not so lucky as you are, and failed to joined a legit one, has their own reason for saying that it's already over.

The only way you could do is just to ignore what others have said about it. It's as simple as that. It means less participants, no?

The problem with some hunters is the mindset like this. They doing bounty for a living. They should find a decent job outside the crypto space cause bounty is not a regular thing or work. Im doing bounty but the sake of earning sideline but it is not my source of living. Unless they have regular income on this. Especially bounty giving rewards months after the sales and campaign.

yes i agree with you i think the bounty project, ICO and IEO are not over yet. although 90% of ICO projects are scam, there are still a number of successful ICO projects. although the payment for prize hunters is not as much as in 2017 I also remain a bounty hunter. being a bounty hunter is my side job. from the time I run out for things that are not useful I better use to work on the bounty project.

Really? Bounties are still existing, yeah. But it wasn't like those bounties from 2017. Only few were successful, were listed and were surviving after launching it. Yes, it's not over. Besides, more and more bounties are still created. The question is, until when? Most of them were just being successful at first but left behind after listing. Well, except if that coin will have a further use in the market space.

If you are lucky enough, you'll be able to get some good profit from the bounty you join but again not every bounty that yields good profit are a good coins to hold while some that may not seem much profitable could be one of the best for long term.
Sometimes people knows what's going to be a good project and everyone just indulges on it decreasing the individual gains through bounty stakes.

Well, right now I see so many people who think that bounties are no longer worth it, but they are a little wrong, because basically the bounties they choose are bounties that are really scams or dying.
maybe the ratio of a really good bounty to a bounty scammer is 4/10, so choosing a bounty based on its quality before joining is strongly recommended.  do not be quickly influenced by high allocations.

I heard harmony had great success, but unfortunately I didn't follow it. some of the bounties I have participated in so far this year have not been paid in full and probably most people like me will say the bounty will end. but I am still optimistic, in the midst of a market like this, there is still a good bounty that you mentioned earlier, meaning that there is still a brighter future for bounty hunters in the future, accompanied by a crypto market that will get better again.

Some participants are only concerned with high allocations so they think if the allocation is high then the project is legit, even though it is not necessarily like that. A large allocation is no guarantee, if the allocation is small but legit why not just join :)

Yes, I also think so. Bounty can not finish ever. Actually fraudulent is every market and we also face in bounty sector. But for that reason we can not say bounty is over. For market condition bounty may not successful but those whose roadmap was well that's succeed. Now investors are more cleaver and they did more research before investing. So please come with good roadmap in market and bounty will succeed.

It may have ended in the perspective of others, If compared to the past of 2017, the state of the current bounty is downright awful, fewer projects, almost unsold projects, and when The listed token has no value. But for those who work hard, have experience and don't complain, they still make money.

I am not disputing the fact that some bounty hunters are earning good pay however how do we differentiate the good ones from the bad ones? unlike in 2017 when 90% of bounties pays well, in post 2017 era alot of scams projects flooded the market even when the cryptos market was declining and prices was dumping invariably discouraged many investors, I believed those bounty hunters that participated in the mentioned projects are very lucky to have earned some bucks.

Not over, but there will still be a bounty campaign. The more years there will be more participants, it can be seen that the more newbie accounts that follow the bounty show that their interest is still very high.
80% new projects still need bounty campaign services to promote their projects.

Bounty hunting is by no means over regardless of the downturn in crowdfunding campaigns in general, there'll always be the need for marketing services with no up front costs so you can be certain there'll be some profitable bounties often enough to keep you busy

You're right, the situation is not like before wherein bounties are profitable and though many scam project are existing majority of these are genuine and you can make money by choosing the right project. But currently this is not the case, bounties are not as profitable unlike before and you have to do an extensive research to choose a good project that is worth for your time and effort.

but from 80% of new projects, they will not necessarily pay, in other words, their project will be successful or scam in the end. At present the bounty is not like before, now it has to be harder in selecting projects. indeed the best way to join a bounty is to get paid with btc, beyond that we are like work that has no certainty, moreover, we have goals for needs.

You cannot live on Bounty money anymore. If you think you can then go visit a doctor. Bounty is over for now, I do not know the future. Out of 100 new bounty posted every year only 8 or 10 projects are successful. It is not even 10 percent. So forget bounty and start investing your time in micro jobs. They pay good money and have a long term future.

Bounty does not have a future and the bounty will continue to exist because it is an effective way to promote the project but many people complain of the bounty is there is no certainty how the rewards will be even though it's only free money we still work as it works to promote it .
We know that there have been many successful bounties this year, but we have to wait a long time to receive those rewards, so if we search carefully for bounties, I'm sure I will receive good rewards too.

I understand that. If you picked the right one.
Out of how many bounties out there?
Can you really join all of that with? With bad luck you might end up in wrong ICOs.
I am a bounty hunter before but it is just suffocating when you keep on failing to pick the right one.
It is getting difficult to pin point which project will be a success unless they make a hype of it.

I agree with you. although now we see how the market is going down and investor confidence in new projects is also declining, but there will continue to be new and good projects that will continue to need promotions like those of bounty hunters. it will not be destroyed or disappear, we only lose the moment for now.

You can't say bounty is over, but good bounties are limited as you mentioned few trusted bounties those paid good amount to bounty hunters, but most of the bounties are not good as I was joined 50 almost in this year and only got paid from few bounties. Yes, you can say bounty giving earning but not more in this year and future is also good when BTC will be legalized in more counties.

Yaps, a friend of mine said that being a bounty hunter is of no use at the moment and just a waste of time, very different in his heyday. but I reject those words, and currently there are still many legitimate projects, but we have to be smart in analyzing and choosing. and now I better be quiet, and get a lot of (stake) on the bounty, it's the same as I can get a lot of tokens from the project, because I have previously referred to a friend but rejected and ignored.

Yeah, maybe there are still one or two projects that pay bounties and are good projects, but in my opinion the number of projects that are willing to pay now is very rare and it is not certain to get income from the bounty every week or even every month. If you are lucky to get a good bounty this month it means it's your fortune. So we really have to be good at finding good bounties this month so we can eat ;D

but most of the rest of the hunters in 2017 stopped because they complained about the prize they got or because the projects that they participated didn't pay, because the blockchain industry continues to grow, of course the number of projects continues to grow and most of them will fail, so you have to be careful in choosing.

No doubt Bounty is a good source of free income but from last year due to long bearish season the new incoming project did not get handsome ranking and value in the market and due to this they all tokens/coins except few ones which you have mentioned all other are now worthless.

Bounty is not over, but you are difficult to find which project can succeed in the long term or after they reach every phase on their plan. It is not easy to achieve success in these situations because many people are getting the worst experience before, and that makes many of them is not believe in the project. But I see that some people still hope to make money from participating in the project, so they join with many projects to earn rewards. Bounty now is not famous again as before, but that is normal because the market is not moving higher too. Perhaps, if the market can start to moves to a higher price, then we will see a new form of bounty project that will become popular.

Oh don't forget the added risk of ICOs and even IEOs stiffing bounty hunters when they collect the most minimum amount of funds from the campaign. Sometimes they even adjust the amount of rewards mid-campaign or suddenly require KYC.

but not like that, the fact is that of the hundreds of projects that are present in this forum only a few are likely to produce the results you have mentioned above. but i heard that VANTA & MiracleTele are SCAM. and you also skip like SESSIA & CIPX tokens. maybe that also includes projects that can be said to be successful this year.

There is still some bounty campaign that is profitable and paying and it will depend on the project that you are joining if its popular and when they will be paying their members.

And ICOs and IEOs today are really not so very popular from the veterans, i mean who experience some loss when they bought and tradr the token/coins. That's why only few will entertain this campaign or take advantage of it with the new ones that will invest.

Bounties are no longer profitable for the people who joined the wrong one. however, those participants who almost joined every bounty that popped up in the bounty section, there is no loss for them because everyone is unanimous that if you were able to join every bounty you still earn a profit from one of those bounties. The problem here is if you can still make big earnings out of it which will make you want to do that for the whole year. as for me, I'm done with bounties there are not profitable at least in my opinion.

People who say this are those who feel tired by participating in bounties because maybe they always get a scam project because they participate without observing the projects they are doing so they say that bounties are over and have no future. There are several projects that can provide us with an advantage, even if we compare it to 2017, of course it is far different, but here we must be able to survive and make a profit, regardless of current market conditions.

That’s exactly what I think. bounty still run but not pay or get rewards when we'll sell the price going to down, difficult to find bounty who really pay with high price after list in the market, maybe it makes many people consider that bounty is over but only not worthit anymore
bounty unpredictable so make the real job for now.

Ironx has no trading volume, they failed to list on other exchange as well and on their own platform to one is buying, i still don't know if they will continue productions they promised, for now its seems abandoned

that's what many people fear, they the ICO founders will use the identity of many people to use crime without the knowledge of the identity owner and will make many people lose, whereas if the bounty hunter does not use the KYC method will only make a lot of people who commit fraud by multiplying account to participate in the bounty campaign.

Most people saying bounty is over are those that earned a lot from it back in 2017 and early 2018. These days rewards are lower and coin prices are not all that impressive after listing on exchanges. So I can't blame them for losing their onions now. However, the best way to do bounties now is to do it with an open mind that it may be worth it or not. Also, it is advisable to have a 2nd job and not take it as a main hustle

The legit bounties on your list are harmony and tokoin, i will like to add sessia, gowithmi and ferrum network as well, you shouldn't include miracle tele and sero because they can't be trusted, miracle tele turned scam and sero cheat many bounty hunters

Bounty rewards is not like before but its all down to market condition and yet few bounties still became successful this year, i see no reason to quit hunting for good projects, if you fail you will learn and get better at choosing good projects, few of these projects will even worth fortune when good market season returns

Some people do say bounty is over because the income earned is not worth the time worked out. In my opinion, just keep going as long as you're sure, don't listen too much to what other people say. Let them stop being bounty hunters, this will also benefit you because of the reduced number of participants and can give you more stakeholders or tokens later. goodluck, bro.

maybe it's true if the wheel of life is indeed spinning, yes I realize that the current bounty isn't as bright as it used to be but it doesn't mean we have to give up and leave it. I also like you go through the present situation as it is, this is the only thing we can do and the important thing is to keep on trying because I believe the results will not betray the effort

I missed so many good bounty projects this year and i said to myself never going to happen anymore, my fault was i choose wrongly, i was too lazy to send time doing research on projects and all those i ignored turned out good, bounty still pays and presently the good ones are emirex and pgpay, all the best

The successful projects that you mentioned are only part of the hundreds of projects that existed this year, so in fact more scam projects have emerged than have been successful. the future of the bounty will always be good if the scam project is reduced. if you really still want to join the bounty program, go ahead.
from my experience this year was not profitable in joining the bounty compared to previous years, because the effect of many scam projects (this is the main problem). bounty will not over, instead scam project must be over!

I could not agree more with you. I have participated in some bounties myself.

People get offended because some projects don't pay them or are simply a scam.

I'd say that is either bad luck or just did not do your research on the project...

Good luck to all of you bounty hunting

If you have already wear a project signature and another good bounty comes around it doesn't make sense to relent because you are already participating in one, this is the mistake i made, instead you can do other campaigns like telegram or content creation

I personally don't say the bounty is over. but I say the bounty at the moment is very bad. after its golden age. the project no longer has a great product. only make quick profits for the team and developers. ignoring bounty hunters who help promote. of the few that you mentioned are true. but it has a ratio of 1: 7, so how many projects are launched this year? and how many are successful? this is what makes me say the current project bounty is so bad. only a few are successful and keep their promises.

Indeed. Move forward and forget about those opinions from others who are not lucky from this activities. If you can still find good projects and
you are still gaining good amount or you are contented with what you've got then proceed and don't mind, it's much better to keep yourself
from what you believe in.

we really have to feel a little unconcerned by what people say if the project we are participating in can provide benefits. if our research really shows something positive, then we better move forward and close our ears a little to the criticism. and don't forget to make sure your research is strong so that you can be sure of the projects that you follow

I guess you really need to open your eyes and see threads after threads about ICO's scamming people and that has a negative effect on the bounty hunters.

Sure some ICO's are successful this year, but majority have either stop their project because there are no money coming in as investors are reluctant to invest or rightly exit scamming. So good luck to you as well finding successful bounties that has a good price after listing on an exchange.

For some reason, do you know how much this earning that is now leading their life? Seems you've overlooked it as obviously they just got some bucks for a half year worked. How's that?

Well maybe bounty isn't over yet, obviously we still have but it's just more likely a shitcoin hence you can't sell it in a decent price. Move on.

Mostly I agree with you but i believe people who say bounty is over is new member of bounty hunter. We all know the risk we can't avoid it just manage, so if become scam or only get small reward we should not complaint. That's why alternative income needed even not use bitcoin as primary product it will be helpful.

the word ending does not mean there will be no more, I want how those bounty workers can be well directed as well as bounty managers, we see many bounty managers negligent in their assignments because I often see other people's work being used to register bounties, while those who take other people's work links accepted while the owner of the job was not accepted, so what is the solution to all of this, the only way to stop them is KYC or replace all the bounty managers specifically in this forum so that there are no such mistakes

I have been building a large community for bounties since 2015 to expand throughout my country and until now I have left them because they are out of line with what I have directed, so stop hoping for bounties like before if the system really wasn't changed for the better, I want to focus now and preparing to retire, so hope the bounty stops temporarily to disperse them better because there are no profitable projects now, even if there may be only a few of them held by the bounty manager who works well, ends or not everything depends on the system that must be changed

They are targeting the money of investors as long as there are people want to invest there are still project will operate and start thier ICO and make a bounty. Project owner doesnt really care about how much is the money will be raised as long as there are money raised its good for them.

I like this statement. When compared to the golden age of the bounty in 2017, of course, what is currently less valuable, but that does not mean worthless. Indeed, there are many scam projects with various dramas, not paying bounty hunters, not distributing, not listing, etc. That risk can be avoided by choosing a truly legitimate bounty campaign with a strong project and a real product, requiring more effort, but it's worth it. If you are still afraid, choose a trusted bounty manager, choose a bounty that gives Btc or Eth rewards.

You made a valid point, bounty is still a good source of earning in the industry, but I still believe that there are more failed bounty campaign than the successful ones. Its only a handful of bounties that we can count to be successful this year and not everyone participated on the bounty.

I agree that the bounty is not dead, it's just that the income from the bounty is much different in 2017. To get $ 100 it's easy to be different now. the last time I got a bounty from ONE and Miracle tele. One only gets $ 60 and Miracle tele $ 180

Well the reason people say the bounties are over is because the bounty campaigns and btc paying bounty campaign are now declining although i agree that doing bounties are such a good source of income although if you research very carefully more bounty campaigns are just scams they lure the hunters a huge reward but in the end the reward was reduced or the price of it is smaller than they promised.

i am not sure why this opinion distracting you ?
because basicaly its just a opinion , they say bounty dead already , and another people say bounty still good , and that will continue with no end of conversation.
no need clarification for such thing like this , as long u think bounty still good, just keep working , ignoring any people said.
u know well , they know well , but in the different think. just it.

There are many project popped up and they might consider that most bounty project has end in scam and the result there are many bounty hunter just bite their tooth. Including me, I have several times to promote some project and now I have nothing from them. Their price just have nol value and still in my wallet, I got 50.000 token from one bounty project and there is no value. My work for at least 3 months never be paid and yeah I just regreted it.

For newbies it's difficult, they promote a lot of projects that look bad. They just need to adapt, will understand themselves, what results from that? The hunters have their own principles, some save the campaign for themselves, or recommend to close friends.

It's indee hard now unlike year 2017 that even those projects that are not that convincing in investing will make us earn. 2017 is a good old days in bounty hunting that makes those hunters rich without investing. If only I was able to cash out some of those I may not be doing bounties now.

People should stop considering the allocation, and start looking at how legit the project is,  the project should be the first consideration if you are going to participate in the bounty campaign, after looking if the project is that good and you are going to make a prin a long haul then go for it.

The problem is not with bounties but with projects and their credibility. The money projects are getting these days is near to none so how are you expecting to get any money from them.? Most of the projects are going to be flop, we all know it.

That is the main reason why it is easy for scammers to scam people. As long as they give a huge allocation for bounty, many bounty hunters will come and promote the project without knowing that it is a scam project.
Bounty hunters should know what a really good project is, or maybe find another way to earn and stop for a while on doing bounty hunting.

Bounty campaigns are not over yet, but this year has been a pretty bad year for bounty campaigns. Due to the current market situation, there has been a significant decrease in the amount of reward of bounty campaigns. In addition, the number of successful bounty campaigns has decreased considerably compared to previous years.

You are nobody to censor people's "mouths" ;D Bounty hunting obviously wont stop. But the profitability considering the time spent on them is low.

Neither do you. ::)

Earning shitcoins which are going to get dumped as soon as the project gets listed and because the project will fail, there will be zero demand for new investors. Thus the earned tokens will be left on exchanges for years to be sold against a huge sell wall to be covered. Then one day the project will be sold off and the new owners will force a KYC on the investors making the older tokens useless. Sad reality for hunters. :P

Doing so would prove what I just said.

There are still ways out. Only those who participated in more profitable bounties here in 2017 think that the situation is bad compared to the current situation. That is why everybody complains. No matter how bad the situation is, there is always better.

Also, as far as I remember, miracletele was a scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5174888.0 Right?

Yes, the potential of the project is by far the most important factor. If a campaign offers a huge bounty pool of say $1m, then that $1m is only valid if a) the ICO hits hardcap, and b) there are people willing to buy the coin once it starts trading. In reality a poor quality project might hit only a fraction of hardcap and struggle even to hit softcap, and then once it starts trading it will tank.

Go for good projects, not those campaigns that claim to offer a high reward.

i think there are few good  bounty campaign that worthed to participate now.  If we complaining too much we will got nothing,  our energy spend to this thing.  We do less research in bounty campaign and ofcourse we will not find it.  Some people will be very glad if some others leave bounty  campaign.  They will have bigger possibility to earn more money.  Miracle tele become scammed now,,  they run with smooth exit strategy.

That is because of the larger percentage of failed ICO's or scam exits.
You said it, you've seen it.

That kind of offerings should not happen anymore.
Yes, there are legitimate ones but at how much risk before you could see it.
The chances are too low. You are telling names which gained success but that is after the ICO. What if you are a buyer of that token and you are still in the midway of their ICO. There is a lot of FUD and the success is unclear.
The path now for a successful ICO is just too bumpy and the risk was higher unlike before.
They are even having a hard time to get that soft cap they needed.

Bounty is still for everyone, but the important way to choose the right quality bonuses will be profitable for us, there are many different bounty methods and they pay differently.

Bounty's dying and that's a trend. As well as ICOs. People say about second wave coming soon, but as soon as bounty hunter appeared as a profession, there is no point to pay money for useless people. I know what I'm saying.

I would say bounty is neither completely over nor it's having golden says rather I would say bounty is not as it was in 2017 & 2018 because most of the bounty hunters as well as developers just wants money and users are greedy and just wants to make money and it's ending in a disaster. Hunters have multiple accounts and developers don't pay.

Yes, choosing projects must be careful, because what we believe will be successful can also be a sudden scam, this year there are indeed successful projects, but not too many, so that what is seen to the public is a scam, even though there are also successful.

It's almost dead. In the past, there have been too few successful projects and paying us. If this situation continues, in 2020 I think people will not be able to make money from bounty

Miracle tele turned scam for those who are ready to hold instead of selling when they distribute the tokens, its only profitable for those who dumped very quickly

For me, the year 2018 and 2019 are not good because I have seen a lot failed bounty project and even I have found a decent project it still turn into scam project. If you look again in bounty thread you can now see bounty campaign that will pay you in usd and in eth which is good because there is an assurance that your effort will not turn into nothing. I guess at this current state of bounty project it's better to join in a project that will pay you in bitcoin just like what I do right now.

Project marketing in forums is one of the things new projects must do if they want to get their community,
this is very important, and indeed don't worry there will definitely be a bounty campaign that is always waiting for us here

Bounty campaign is not over during bitcointalk tread active for posting and make topic, but during many altcoin have lower price after listing we still have new coin have good price at the future and keep better to join all bounty campaign like social media, blog media and signature campaign, but I hope with bounty campaign manager want distributed coin soon and never delay distributed.

Bounty still not dead yet but its not give so much profit nowadays. Back in 2017 was a golden time for bounty hunters. Sometimes i hope that situation will return. There is still few projects that pay you. Dont hoping to much on bounty projects.

Since cryptocurrency hasn't got mass adoption I guess bounty program will still running. Because this is the way how developer's project can collect the fund. Yeah I'll believe when someday cryptocurrency is accepted by all countries then there will be start up who popping up. So as they will find the forum who has a huge community and try to promote their project through the forum and so far just this forum who have a lot of user on crypto world.

Just have a conclusion, bounty campaign will still running in 2020 and even the years after. As you may know, although there are many people/investors who got scammed through an ICO but this way still running so far. Even I have chacked there are still new project who made announchment thread on this forum which is mean if they are ready they will choose bounty program as promoting place for sure.

Yes, and they should think about that in their planning. Because they enter where the market is very crowded with competition from various projects, it is foolish if they bring projects and raise funds, say "we don't get enough funds, so we have to close this project", even many projects that leave without news.

If I am right, some people are already discouraged from doing bounty, probably for one reason or the other. Although, the  main reason is because there are more of scams than the legit ones. Therefore, proper and discreet selection is what is needed to remain relevant and still be in the system, to earn something reasonable.

People don't like doing the hard work for money, they love easy things that quickly turn into money, well 2017 was a good year for bounty hunters because of price surge and price surge won't always be available so get the job done or quit, bounties is not for the lazy

There’s a lot of good bounties, also a bad projects but it will still depend on the skills of the hunters on detecting a good one. I also agree that bounties are still good right now those projects who succeed on their ICO/IEO are the proof. If the hunters are spreading bad news about the bounties, then he experienced a bad projects. The golden time is gone, it may come again but not one knows when so start focusing on what’s in front of you right now.

Yeah many legit project out there, but so many people don't know about it, knowing nothing when they choose the right one. Just join without have any knowledge about what they are promoted in social media.
Once we can identify how good a bounty will be, there is a lot money we can earn.

It's their experiences that's why they say that words about the bounties and actually I totally agree since even until know the bounty camp still no guarantee that we can earn or maybe let's just say this even though they pay still no guarantee since majority of them will not be listed on exchange nor get a decent volume to exchange on.

To your knowledge MiracleTele is a scam, Their platform may have been good but they also became eventually scam causing all investors to lose money.
And for me, there are still many successful ICOs today but joining today is risky. And it's hard to find them right now,

Pretty good article for bounty hunters. But let me tell you that the projects you listed above have a number of projects that have cost the hunter a lot like VANTA, SERO. ... And the rest of the projects are awesome.

You just gave bounties that are countable with just a hand on your fingers. See, you can't give a lot of bounties. I can send you a list of bounties that are very successful during the year 2017. You just don't know about that probably because you're just a member(time-wise registering in the forum). Well, you also have a point that there are some bounties that are still good and you just need to research. Saying that bounty is over means that bounty is completely over. Yet, there are some that are still good to go and good to grab to.

Anyone can talk any way they want. But the prize is still alive. It is still possible for those who catch the right projects. Yes, as in 2017, the money does not rain. However, earnings are still possible. Bounty hunters should continue to do research.

Right, Bounty will never end until the cryptocurrency project will not be develop. Obviously regular hunter earned a lot of money because i think still there are many legit project in the market and they offering bounty. Also i received good amount money in the last 6 months.

I assure you that next year will be better because few projects this year intentionally postpone their listing to 2020 because they believe the year will be better so be expecting good bounty projects too

Well, some good bounty projects can help us make a lot of money but as you say, maybe this seems hard to identify, even good bounty seems too little, so very few people can correct choice and speaking of this stage, we don't need to argue too much about bounty, each of us probably understands the number of good projects that have been too small over time. Bounty may not die and end now but in the future, if this situation persists, the end of bounty will come close, need positive bright spots to change this result

People arent making sure that the projects they promote is worth promoting that is why they are disappointed in the end, its no more about try and see anymore, now you have to rely on what you can dig about a project, with good use case and good team you will surely get positive reward

that must be the reponsibility from the hunters. Remember even in 2017 there was a lot of the scam icos. What we need right now to do a lot research and deep analyzation for any platforms or even icos.
The fact there is still a legit bounty and that fact can't be denied.

MiracleTele scammed we that didn't cash out all our reward, if MiracleTele partly scammed hunters, then the project is a failure. Harmony is good but has dump before they finally distributed the token. But Harmony still has a big chance of rising again, the bounty wasn't for long. More project has disappointed more.

Absolutely Right, but i think you don't know Miracletele SCAM after distribution for the bounty hunters. Even most of the hunters selling their token successfully and it's very sad investors can't sell it because some of waiting for increase the price than after few days it's going exist SCAM.

Yes, I participated almost bounties of your list and I can say that if you work hard, you will still earn a good amount of money from it, though not as much as the day before. Bounty will continue, but it will become more and more difficult.

No, actually not. I can say that is because the market is not in a good condition right now, the idea is that there are projects that not that good, yes there are some but it is really hard to success since there are less numbers of investors will invest because investors as of now are preferring to hold their token than to take risks in some projects. But I do believe that there are still good projects are coming even if the market is not that good right now. As long as they are choosing well to secure their money and profit.

Yes it is true, when compared to 2017 it is much different. At this time what we get is arguably only a small amount, but that does not mean bounty is over. I think the bounty will not over because the bounty itself is used to promote new projects and to get funding by attracting investors.

It's true that there are still good bounties that are worth to participate, but the only issue is a lot of bounty hunters and investors have still wasted a lot of time and money due to a lot of scam projects in the past year of 2018, that is why there are a lot of complaints in this forum about bounty projects are not that good anymore.

I think ICOs might be popular again. Maybe Bitcointalk needs to refresh itself. Perhaps new systems should be developed to attract exchanges here. In this case Bitcointalk may be popular again. You'll say it's already popular. But there's not much money in the Bounty.

We cannot make any certain conclusion yet about bounty since there are still some projects that work well. It's just that most of the projects nowadays are scams or fails because of the lack of proper management. Maybe the reason why many are saying that bounty is over was because of the changes that occured when it comes to bounty projects where most of it are successful way back but right now, most of it fails. We should still join bounties but first, we should make sure it is worth our time and effort to gain benefits from it.

There are lots of legit project in the market, unfortunately investors are afraid to take their investments to those projects in the market, imagine there are lots of projects that faking the number of investments on an exchange, even investors see a potential project but the numbers on exchange specially when it is huge enough it can still create doubt for an investors to proceed on its investment.

I cann't say that bounty is over but for what i have heard bounty before in 2018 is dead so i stop bounty hunting.

But now that i came back. I'm hoping for what you said is true that some bounty hunters still get enough money. I'm also expecting that i will not get bounties before like 2017.

To be good now I'm only doing this as past time and to get some information about crypto currency.

A lot of people don't know that Bounty is doing well, just that they don't know how. The bonus is not over, the bonus is still the future.

There have been many bonus hunters who stopped working because there are many reasons including the reasons you mentioned above. Although bonuses still offer a good future, bonuses still have a chance but for the wise.

Bonus rewards are not the same as before. right. Only skilled and persistent hunters can continue this hard work.  ;D

bounty still give us money, although often of them now worthless. but we have to keep our spirit till we find good campaign like 2017 condition. i know its not easy, but as long as we have faith to bounty , this opportunity will occur someday. i see some good projects now occur again and they give us allocation. and if you decided to work on bounty again , i think this is good decision.

i can feel your anger but the point is that bounty is not the way it used to be, many of the program comes with very low rewards or isn't paying or going to trade at all.

I agree. Perhaps bounty campaigns are no longer as profitable as they used to be, still like IEO, trustworthy ICOs for us to do.  The hardest thing right now is probably facing the bear market, which is making these campaigns worse.  Bear market is also the reason why projects are not completed on their roadmap.

Nice list there. Let me include Carryprotocol, Content protocol, Velic, Smart funds to mention a few are among the successful bounties this year. The problem is that majority of hunters don't read or have time for research and that's why they keep doing bad project bounties and whine

I support you. Now bounty hunting has become more difficult and earnings are lower, but the prospects are still very great. a lot of campaigns are paying in ETH or BTC, as well as many campaigns that brought really good profit. the most important thing is to continue to participate and choose the right projects

not yet. but searching like the one on the list is very difficult even some of the list is a scam project Like Mirale Tele, and it looks like the bounties at the beginning and end of Q4 this year will mostly give their rewards at the beginning of Q1 next year, and of course following the bounty at this time is still likely to earn money only have to be a little patient waiting for results.

I myself am a member of the bounty and can confirm the words above that the bounty still lives and that you can earn money on it. Of course, earnings are now not the same as they were in 2017, but it still remains one of the promising areas and I am going to continue to work. But I want to note that now it has become much more difficult to work, perhaps because of this many leave this work and speak negatively about it.

Without any doubt, bounties are here to stay the same as crypto currencies. Tokoin was one of the best bounties I ever took part in, just be more selective with projects and managers, because it takes some time to figure out good ones.

Some people quit bounty hunting or hate it now because of their bad experience and if we put it like this, only 2 out of 10 new projects are good or even none so we can't really blame them if this is how they feel. Being very selective on a project is good but it will not give you any guarantee that the project you were promote will succeed.

OP, you raised a good thread to speak against people who kept talking bounty is over, hopeless, rewardless and scam. Bounty condition has changed that's it, but bounty will stay strong till the end of crypto. Crypto and Bounty are relatable with each other, therefore in the future, more people who are outsider of crypto will use the bounty program to promote their company or projects.

There is little truth or realism in what you say. Look at the market, all cryptocurrencies are depreciating. Therefore, new projects will not survive in today's realities. Even if the project is doing well in the beginning, it is sure to face financial problems. And these problems can be solved only by deceiving their investors and bounty hunters. Today it is impossible to say anything good about the bounty companies. There is very little hope for their promising future.

That's great; they're making a living through spamming scam projects.  Even if they're not scams, they're all pretty much useless.

Bounty hunting should *not* be relied on for money to live on instead of getting a real job, because they might not be around for all that much longer and then what will bounty hunters do?  It isn't as tho they're acquiring skills that might help them in the future. 

I wish all bounties would just cease right now, and it would make me happy if they did so.  I'm not talking about signature campaigns that pay participants in bitcoin, just the ico bounties that pay in tokens.  Not only do the bounty hunters make bitcointalk a mess, but they spam social media as well and nobody likes that.  Here's to the death of bounties.

Good advice for hunters. Some projects truely pay and just well. I found out that majority of bounty hunters are not educated or skilled in crypto project research and that's why they keep doing the wrong bounties. Cryptocurrency pays well, as an investor, trader or bounty hunter if you know your onions

This project was very successful but only miracletele project has some problem. If anyone believe that bounty is over, I want you to suggest to visit Coinhe and SERO campaign. Sero was better than Binance IEO. Another successful bounty campaign was Atomic wallet. So we can make huge list of successful campaign.

That sounds pretty funny to me. lol

Titles about bounties have been increasing recently. Almost the majority of the lower rank members say that scam projects have increased, while good projects have little reward. The way out is to continue until you find better or leave now. Actually, the choice is yours, do not wait if you can find a better way to leave. But, if you have nowhere else to go, why do not you fight for the better?

I guess you are right about it. What we can do is to be positive on doing bounty, investors sees these rants that we do. Some of the bounty right now shown some good result, though some really are not. But still, we cannot say that bounties are dead since they still produces profit and successful projects.

maybe those who say bounty has no future are people who always get projects that fail or commit fraud, I have participated in many bounties, but some are successful, and I am still grateful because I can still produce

Bounty campaigns are not completely finished, but unfortunately it does not make the same profit as before. Especially in the bullish period of 2017, today's campaigns pay very little money, but we can still generate a little income here. It seems unlikely that Bounty campaigns will end completely because there are always new projects in this market regardless of the circumstances. Since there are still successful projects in today's conditions, I would like to say that it is rarely possible to coincide with a campaign that provides a good amount of profit.

It's ironic that you mentioned Miracle Tele, while it was favourable to bounty hunters, investors weren't so lucky especially those that bought from exchanges after it was listed in Stex, because the project ended up pulling a spectacular exit scam, I didn't participate in most of those bounties you mentioned above because I was inactive in that period but I have heard stories about them, infact it's those stories that contributed in me starting bounty campaigns after a long while of inactivity in this forum.

Bounty is not over , i know that some  hunters are still getting rewards from bounty campaigns and dont have in mind  to quit on bounty hunting.  Even most bounties now are scam ,alaways think positive, if you surrender you will lose.

Miracle tele is legit and worth bounty campaign for every one participated at their bounty campaign project, I earn about 3 ethereum from miracle tele bounty after selling coin on forkdelta, I have late for sell it because if early time for selling miracle tele coin maybe I can earn about 5 eth every day, but right now I found with many bounty delay payment and distributed after coin have lower price.

I think bounty campaigns from now is not worth it anymore. For those set a payment allocation even it will not follow all what they says same as the price of altcoins go down.

there are still very good bounty if you can recognize them, such as ferrum, FST network,IMO.. the problem is that many bounty hunter just shoot anyhow to bounty project without proper knowledge of how rewarding they are. there are still some bounty managers till today that has good repuatation. 

All of those bounty are not worthy with your time you have wasted for promoting them. In the end you would only get paid as much as $100, it's also if you are lucky. The main problem isn't about bounty managers, but instead from the project itself. You can't or predict which ICO will be turned success and not, even if their ICO/IEO are successful

When people say bounty is over, I understand what is meant. Its an obvious fact that bounty is not as lucrative as it was few years ago. This is purely as a result of the market and the nature of projects we have now. Several projects don't list above their tokensales value and this means that the value of the reward becomes much lesser after listing.

Who says bounty is over? still not yet because there are still some prize hunters who still survive here. Yes, I know the current conditions are much different from last year ago, but I think there are still many good bounties to follow on this year. the bounty will end if have is not again new projects will emerge and no again bounty hunters want to participate.

I cant deny that there were still several numbers of good projects that do exist but finding the best one is already compared on finding a needle on a haystack.
Only to those hunters who've been searching for real would able to see the potential ones rather than to those who hurry up and joining because they do see
a big allocation or pool.For op, you cant blame people to say that Bounty is over yet when it comes to profitability then you can really able to tell the difference.

not really early but its been two years already since we experience the bad performance of the bounties but this is not enough to call bounties over becauase we can still see that bounties are still there alive and kicking , only major changes were noticed though  . if they dont have intentions for delayed payments then why would they not set a sufficient budget and hand that budget to the escrow so that huunters will get paid imediately  ? instead of having a delaying tactics that leads to worster scenarios like scamming  .

they don't want to distribute tokens to escrow with the consideration of having to complete sales and calculate results, in fact this is wrong but the developer seems to position this plan always at the end.

But if there are strict rules about this from forums or escrow, the developer will definitely do it, so it is a kind of diction that will establish discipline for all bounties in circulation.

two years is a long time for us to think about revolutionary things, and also to guarantee each other's reputation.

not much different from me even though only a few bounties have succeeded that I follow but at present the money earned from the bounty is very little. I see many people currently leaving the bounty and switch on trading in the market because not waste time. that's probably why they say bounty is over because trading is far better than being a bounty hunter. I personally am still a bounty hunter to get income from bounties but I also become a trader in the crypto market. ;D

bounties will continue to exist, and there are always promising projects for bounty hunters.  however..  it is quite difficult to find ICO Bounties who pay their hunters for now,  even if they pay,  the coins they offer are worthless, aka shit tokens. Not to mention the problem of scam projects.  Becoming a hunters nowadays is getting harder.

They will keep what they've think is good for them, most scam projects are not care about bounty hunters and also not concerned with how the project will
proceed, the only thing they wanted is to continue gaining money. Bounty hunting is tough nowadays as you are spending your time not to have any assurance that you'll going to received any rewards after the campaign was ended. You will risk the time that you consume hoping for the good outcome.

It is really hard to scope a good bounty project at this moment, not like before. If we know how successful those projects mentioned by OP, I will definitely sure to join that project. We don't know what are those project have a good future. I will consider it is involved risking our money because only 25% out of 100% will be passed and successfully listed on an exchange. I hope there is a solution to this and should have filtration in every launched that should passed the standard qualifications to avoid fraud.

so far there have been many prize hunters who have complained about the prizes they have received from most existing projects so that they cannot benefit the participants who participate in them. most projects cannot satisfy them, so coins cannot penetrate the exchange market, and they assume that the work they have done is only in vain to promote projects that cannot be fully developed to the maximum in the future.

Bounty campaigns aren't the same as the bounties that we had before but fortunately, there are still potential and legit projects these days. We may experience being scammed by different projects but there are still lots of good-paying campaigns that are really worth promoting. We only have to do our own research.

Deep deep research is what everyone needs to do as the scam projects are dominating the bounty place, being bounty hunters needs to have a responsibilities to take a closer look into every project that we do wanted to support. It's your time even it's not an actual money involve investment
but that's also important to everyone, with time you will consume if the project is scammed it can't be turned back so make sure to have the right
pattern in following each bounty works that you'll going to take.

And that pattern wont really be easily to be done, no matter how hard we do make up some research still majority do fall out on
ending up on a fraud project thats why lots of them already leave out on bounty hunting due to this scenario.

There are still some few projects who do succeed and i understand on what op is trying to say, there were some but if you are just
lucky and do make research enough to choose the right one.

I don't think the job for the bounty hunter will end. However, this amount is very meager. Because most of these bonus programs now have small rewards and split up, there are too many bonus hunters to join, fake people, cheater, ...

Bounties will continue with new projects keep popping, but the sad part is only few of these are real and likely to give a hunters good rewards. Indeed there are still project that can give us profit but its hard to choose since scam projets are seems legit at first scammers are now professional for their project to look genuine.

That's why better invest when the projects are already in exchanges and see how their performance goes in being listed. I'd already stop investing in new projects but still do bounty before my signature to other projects but it's a risky decision because we will never know if they will pay. It's just a matter of being luck now whether new projects will pay without having a high standard bounty manager.

This is the most complained by bounty hunters of getting the rewards and end up no value no exchange yet in the market. That’s why a bounty hunters should do an own research before joining since mostly project are not successful, failed to raise and collect money. Many assume that they could earn when they join so this is a lesson to learn by many who join bounty.

the only thing that is over is the highest rate bounty payment .it is impossible to earn what you can earn from bounty before and the harder part now is how you will recognise if bounty is good and which is fake and scam.

Those problems are there with any other rewarding program. Fact is that many low income country dwellers will flock them to get some coins to feed themselves and not consider these are mere rewards for being enthusiastic about a new project in the making be it a successful one or not. Even this forum is plagued by cheaters who try to defraud a project owner, makes me wonder how much morals they have in real life or they are willing to show their real colors because they are hidden behind a made up name.

They may pay you a high amount of bounty tokens but dont get fooled by that because you also need to consider the average value in dollar or bitcoin for each token. Mostly its not worth it by doing bounties because one fine day they will ask you for KYC and lock down your funds before giving out. These things suck and so I suggest people to move to bitconi paying campaigns than waste time on bounties.

That is the real scenario there but actually eventhough there are few still paying but the reality is it's so hard to spot them up since there a re so many scams entering here now and it's really best and advisable to anyone that join only on the campaigns which handled by reputable manager or who have escrow since by that people have chances to gain even a little since it's been handled well.

Even there are many reputable managers handling the bounties, but sometimes it is impossible for them to find the legit project, previously I have joined many of the Legendary rank managers campaigns but failed to get payment from them too. After successful raising, they are not responding to managers.

2018 and 2019 is full of scam bounties from 10 bounty campaigns that i joined last 2018 up to now only 2 bounty manage to pay thier bounty hunters the rest did not paid.

I kinda like this small rewards in bounties nowadays because this will make some bounty hunters to quit, to earn good money from bounties now you have to join all the available campaigns like social media, contact, telegram etc

If that's really full of scam bounties in 2018 &2019, you will be not get paid even from only 1 bounty. The fact is you got paid from 2 bounties which can't be called full of scam bounties.

Even if you have joined in all these bounties, you will not be guarantee to get paid. I don't think that's worth with your time

Good bounty projects are still available and research is not enough to get good results, now hunters still expect to promote one or two projects and make huge money which is not possible, now you need to join multiple different projects, out of ten only two might pays better reward and the rest might fail, if you aren't ready for this then don't bother

I do agree. Bounty is still good in this present time just like what we have before. There are still plenty of good bounties out there that are just waiting to be discovered due to the fact that many people are avoiding bounties today because of the trauma cause by some unruly bounties that victimized other bounty hunters. But we must not put into generalized that all bounties are like that because they are not. There are still good bounties in the forum but many people are just blind to see those because they keep on comparing the bounty system from the gold times and wanting bigger rewards compared today. We all know that we are into a dumping market so we must be thankful and contented of what we can have and stop complaining because there are lots of ways we can earn on crypto which includes bounty. We just need to appreciate good things that we can acquire as of the moment until such time come that the market will boom once again.

I think that bounty activities can only be reported with a playful attitude, because it is impossible for each project to pay you a bounty as agreed. I had previously encountered a scam project, but in the end I got nothing.

If you think rank of the manager determines how legit a bounty is then you are gravely mistaken. They could have just bought that account from the original owner just to promote their project just like the scam known as lust ICO happened. The DT members have thus tried to tag those accounts to save some hunters from the agony of going after a false promise.

It would be correct to consider them more of a gamble. Some project will become big, others will not. Now you have to decide whether to take part in them or call it an end to hunting. Honestly there are bitcoin paying campaigns to take part in then bounty.

It is actually not impossible to find legitimate projects. As a good manager with good reputation even,,, projects will come looking for you, it is only up to you to decide to align yourself to them or not.

But yes,,, do not make a mistake of manager rank or even participant rank fool you. Legendaries have scammed. Even high trust managers have scammed. Just look at Reputation section of forum to see;)

I think that as a bounty hunter, you must have enough luck to select good projects from many projects in order to bring rich profits to yourself.

Miracletele is down, a very smart craft project by scammers indeed, Ironx isn't showing any sign of continues development and those who promoted the project are stuck with their tokens because they can't sell it yet, Harmany, Vanta, Sero, Tokoin are all good bounties, the truth is if you are lazy you will miss good bounties

Forget about thinking to be rich, it will just come when you know how to hold those valuable coins, and don't think about luck, think on how you can improve your skills in choosing the right project for you to promote as that would tell you future in bounty hunting, and lastly don't consider bounty hunting as a job, always stick with a day job and then do some side job with bounty hunting.

After promoting few bad projects I quickly learn and adjust, since 2019 I've joined very good bounty projects, some are expected to pay up this year, e.g Bitwings, EZ365, Alchemy, I think we will see good projects this very year and to all bounty hunters on here be ready and not be lazy, bounties was easy in 2017 but not anymore
