Bitcoin Forum

Since I've ranked up to junior member I decide to start my bounty hunting journey and after spending hours on bounty section on this forum I was shocked that no single bounty is of high quality and worth my time, all I see is projects going for crap exchanges like ChainX and another one called leadwallet that wants to raise fund using ChainX and all team members are Nigerians, really? And many members are promoting such project? The good projects are over or I'm missing something?

Aren't there bounty projects that list on gate.io, binance, okex, huobi ? ChainX, p2pb2b, exmarket and others like these exchanges will only drag the project down, are bounty hunters blind or just too stupid to do research?

That's tough, coming from a Jr member I'm impressed, yes you are right that many new bounties are just crappy right now, the best ones are already over like Cartesi or Alchemy but have you take a look at Relictum Pro? They accept Jr members I think and secondly you should look at Olportal bounty too, they are going Okex exchange, though no signature campaign but others like social and content are available

No good project is coming, because the market condition is not good to launch a new project and ask the fund to develop it. People are worried about their lives, not about a new way of making money! Recent ChainX created a hype, but after the Blockburn IEO, now I feel this exchange is another home of bad guys like P2PB2B, Exmarkets! Glad that within a short time you get it, but many high ranked people are doing those crap bounties, that really hurts! I would suggest you, don't give up, wait for the good time, in this time, you may do the Leashload, Koinpro bounties, those looked decent to me!

If by "research" you mean looking up to see whether the project will be listed on large exchanges, then you're very wrong yourself. If you haven't heard about this yet, there have been quite a lot of instances where a coin has been added to an exchange by bribing the exchange owners. And a cryptocurrency is not all about "when binance" or "when moon".

Look for projects that you think truly do have a future and a potential. Don't you think that a project which is going to be listed on a large exchange cannot disappear off it as easy as it was added. There are only a few alts I truly support and I have supported them with all the delistings and listings they had yet. A listing/delisting doesn't influence my opinion at all about the coin.

Do some real research. See if your supported project has a real potential and isn't a copycat, a scam or a shitcoin. Remember: BitConnect was listed on some of the best exchanges in the world. :)

Probably you just joined the league. A regular bounty Hunter knows that good bounties are scarce since a while now as the market is not favorable for new projects to raise money. It's very tight and strict now and only a very good project will survive especially if they list on good exchange. Just stick around because some good bounties might come from old projects.

Unfortunately it is true that there are not many quality projects in the market at the moment but if you give some more time in scrolling the bounties section i am sure you will find couple of good bounties that will be worth promoting, i too find it really hard to join a new campaign after one ends and i do give a lot of time before selecting a new one.

Currently, there are no good bounties or let me say, there are very limited number of good bounties and this can be attributed to the nature of the world now as a result of this devastating virus; even most projects are yet list as they are all waiting for a favourable market. Also, in this hard times it is better to be careful as scammers might use this opportunity to carryout their plans. In the same way, good you have noticed that most projects listing on P2PB2B etc are only but wasting their time which invariably means they are not good enough.

New projects are coming but these are not good enough. Many good bounty campaign has finished but they are not coming into the exchange! The reason is the bad, unexpected market condition. You see Bitcoin price dumping has started, the price is too much volatile, people are afraid of dying, they are not going out, if you feel the situation, you won't feel bad! Right now some good bounties are running, you shouldn't miss those as you are in the home and you have lack of works to do! When the coronavirus ends, we can expect a better crypto market where everything will be positive as the first month of this year was! So, don't give up, keep researching and hunting!

Possibly they are stupid and don't have enough knowledge to find out it is legit and worthy project or its just a crap so they are joining and promoting random projects on bounties section with high reward pools. ;D Its almost no good projects were existing now and in this year as well we are not going to see any of those since the economy of the world is hardly under attack so it will be hard to find investors for start ups.

I think it's better put this way - too lazy to do research, not stupid. Even at that, not everyone is tech savvy to notice something fishy when it comes to the nitty-gritty of projects. So, even when hunters resesrch they often get deceived too. I have heard even cautious BM managers lament such deceit after projects they managed scammed. However, OP can look up this thread for selection of "Safe Bounties" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0

This isn't entirely true. Certain projects launch daily with decent price. For instance, you can check this Chainpay project https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/chainpay/  which was launched 6days ago and it's doing well already in the market.

I tried to be neutral in this matter. Every person or bounty hunter has his own assessment standards in analyzing projects, everyone must have different criteria, for example you, who measure the quality of a campaign by registering it on a popular and trusted exchange. There are still campaigns that pay fairly and are very profitable, like this campaign that I support, so don't give up and don't get too prejudiced.
That is indeed a good assessment standard, but we also need to adapt to market conditions. So that does not mean that projects that are not listed on the popular exchange are not successful, we must lower the standard and value it more logically, otherwise, you will miss a lot of good opportunities.
if you are interested, visit this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0), there are a number of potential projects. We will not really know what will happen, nor am I a fortune teller, but opportunities are worth a try, hope properly, and work with dedication, dwyor!

Some bounty hunters feel they can just go for anything. If a person is that type that feels anything goes, then surely, anything will come his way. Seeing a project that decides to go to an exchange that has a questionable reputation, you should know that such a project is also questionable.
This is a sincere and hard call to bounty hunters. Perhaps they need someone that will always point them to good bounties.

I think the main reason why there is no good project as of now is the market. As you notice, the value of every other coin is on the red state. If developers are going to open some projects, it might not be successful since investors tend to hold their money instead of investing it on a new project. Look for a new project after this crisis because there is a higher chance that a good project might come out.

If you think there is no good bounty, you are better to focus on improving your rank. You need to reach at least Full member, then just go to "service" section and take a look at the signature campaigns paid in BTC there. Most of the projects there are legit and you can see trusted bounty managers with a lot of experience who handle the campaigns. So, in my opinion, don't rush to join the bounty if you think it will be worthless. Better to improve your post quality and rank up, then get a chance to join a signature campaign paid in BTC!

Always good is exists just give some time on your efforts. Top exchange IEO project doesn't have good allocation to bounty hunters. The best example is Harmony project. Or if are ready to hold your coin until next bullrun than wait for top exchange IEO. Jr member is enough to participate in social bounty but for signature all campaign isn't available.

This is much better then. Compare it before bull run 2017-2018 where new projects are almost scam also a lot of people got scammed. Most people learned and now look at the results, only quality and legit projects are kicking and working.
Speaking in bounty campaigns, we also noticed that in last 2017-2018 bull run, easy money if you sold after you got the rewards, but if you hodl them until now, look at the prices.

This 2 years is indeed difficult to find good projects because they sometimes do not get maximum funding and only a few projects that I know are successful and still survive in the market, in 2019 there are also a number of successful projects and bounty hunters get the results of their work , like the tokoin that I once followed is still good prices in the market

There are but it should not always come from the gate, binance, okex or huobi. i have seen so many projects that already listed on those exchange sites create bounty campaign and this time i guess earnbet is the one that has already listed on the binance dex. You can try to take a look on it if that can make you feel interested.

Very few projects allow you to profit from this market and indeed bounty participants are going through the most difficult time. I think I should look for another job to stabilize because the crypto market is changing markedly and current investors are not much interested in new projects. That makes people like us face a lot of financial difficulties and you will definitely feel depressed.

It is really very sad that bounty has gone shit now. Projects which collect fund through p2pb2b, exmarket and other you have mentioned are scam most of the time. I can not remember to see a successful project from this exchange.
If you are interested in promoting a project, I would suggest you promote Geoma Dao, this project may be a good one.

I haven't seen a project which run bounty on Bitcointalk get their token listed on Gate.io, Binance, Okex, Huobi for a long time, or I might miss it. Crypto is in difficult time and projects can't get their token sale target, so they can't apply to list on big exchanges because those big exchanges charge millions USDT for a token listing.

New projects are keep failing and it is a sad reality,  before we saw a lot of icos that are becoming successful but nowadays only few who that have guts to list their coin have good liquidity in the market. I'm a investor before but today I'm not investor anymore because of the high risks where I can lose big amount of money. I prefer to trade than to invest to projects nowadays where there is no guarantee of return.

The thing here is that most projects who ends up in a crappy exchanges dies in that same place. BitConnect is a special case because they have a unique marketing strategy that targets even the outside of the cryptocurrency space while most ICO targets investors who already knows what cryptocurrency is. Also Bitcoin was booming at that time so Bitconnect did their job pretty well to deceive others. (remember those who don't even know what Bitcoin is but sold their homes to invest in Bitconnect). I'd say exchange is still a big factor to judge a projects capability base on the amount of projects failing or scamming in a crappy exchange.

I suggest to OP that you consider the bounty manager when you are looking at a project to promote, it will help a lot because most bounties nowadays are scams or a failure to begin with.

You complain there are no good bounties, have you made any sort of research or you're just creating a thread. There are good bounty campaigns out there if you research and if you're waiting for a campaign that will list on Binance it's almost impossible except such project is having an IEO on Binance. Its best you research and decide on what basis your judgement is made.

I think you should continue to learn first the basics of forum before conducting or joining any bounty campaign here. This forum isnt purely about campaign hunting. I dont know why the mindset of many here are so eagerly to earn money by bounty. I think other old members are right. The new generation of users here are only concern about earning. With your current rank, even signature campaign isnt advisable. Why not lurk on some useful section such as Bitcoin discussion, beginners and help thread, rather than wasting time looking for new bounty. They are just always there, but sorry you can only find few ones that are good to participate with.

Not only good ICO projects are few now, there are relatively few ICO projects at all in this forum. Therefore, the activity on the forum has fallen much. Now the situation is not very favorable for the prosperity of ICO projects. We do not yet know for sure whether the time has passed for good projects. I still hope that the situation will change for the better after states begin to organizationally regulate this type of activity. Then we can get rid of the high level of fraud in these projects, after which this activity may revive.

I think because they were forced to join a number of projects that launched IEO on the exchange such as exmarket or p2pb2b because now it's very rare for projects to launch bounty campaigns like in 2017-2018 where there are still many campaigns that appear almost every day.

The issue is that, many investors have experienced a lot of disappointments from scam projects. No matter how good your project idea is now, hardly would you see someone to invest in it.  This coupled with the condition of the market are some factors affecting new projects even if such project is good.

Honestly, IEO projects in big exchanges like Okex, Huobi, they won't need to do marketing because those big exchanges will do the job. Therefore they will not need to create a meaningless bounty and waste of money. And I agree with you, right now there's no really good bounty, it's all worthless scams

well, this is not one of the supporters, but from the development team. however, they should know that the markets mentioned will make their tokens have no price, and the bounty hunter sometimes supports based on the concept or the team behind it. besides, entering tokens into popular exchanges is not so easy, because of this, they prefer to put their products on exchanges that are easy to list to see market responses. it's just that it sometimes backfires on their project.

For now there is none. Major exchange doesnt list shitcoin snd for this matter only few got have bounty. Imagine, those projects listed on the secondary IEO markets you mentioned still need bounty in spite of being advertise on exchange? What does it mean? Still not enough for them to succeed. But projects got listed on example Binance doesnt need any bounty just to success. There is disparity and quality of markets, it is just unfortunate those other projects that they cant enter to those walls.

I don't think part of this statement make any sense at all.  What do you mean by saying "all team members are Nigerians"? Are you saying Nigerians cannot executive good or trustworthy crypto project?  Statement like this can cause a lot of prejudice and you should desist from it.  Or may be I didn't get your statement very well.  Whichever way it may be, try and clarify or better still steer clear of statement like this some other time.

Well there are good projects, what is happening is just that they just don't have bounty camapigns.  You can wait there there are new ones coming, they usually pop in the altcoin section every monday and I mean today. You can expect a new ANN thread soon and then the bounty thread follows, you just have to look pick which you think could have a chance after the IEO.

Every upcoming good projects will have to stop launch right now because of the deadly virus outbreak, I doubt good bounties will come now until the virus is finally over, it's better to be on look out maybe we can see a new bounty project worth promoting

There are still good projects in this market, but they don't make bounty because they have other ways to promote their projects. You can go to the major exchanges and see new IEO projects there, they have a great community without having to run bounty. The projects run bounty here are bullshit and no future, and most of them are scams.

Even the deadly virus is over the project that have good bounties will became limited by this year. There is no good project will be created because there are only few investors is now willing to take the risk.

I will never ever join any bounties again .if there are promotion that have no crowdfunding then thats what i want to be part some project that doesnt have an ICO, IEO.

The reason why new projects fail in this market is because there are so many scam projects. In 2017 and 2018 I saw hundreds of successful ICOs with huge amounts of money, but after a while all those projects died and disappeared. It makes investors lose a lot and they are gradually afraid of projects at this time. Now no one wants to invest in new projects because it's too risky for them, they choose the listed altcoins in the market because it is so much safer.

They are betting on all of the possibilities and that's why we are still seeing some people still try to join on the campaign that launched by the shitty platform. As far as i know, if they have no choice consider about they lack knowledge about how to identify a good project and i think if they are thinking if this way can increase their probability to get the payment from the campaign.

Been there, but not to join them but more like hunting where I could invest my money with.
Yes, it had changed a lot by now.
Before, you could really double your money or even triple it but now, it is more likely a failure at the end.

Well, bounty hunting had always been the choice of the hunter into which he want to support.
I bet there is still a few out there that could make it at the end and maybe even make their token valuable.

Very rarely there are bounty projects that have been listed in large exchanges like you mentioned, because most big exchanges, for example binance, prohibit projects / tokens that have been registered / will list there to hold bounties like those in this forum

It might just be the timing though, I can't imagine having good projects waiting all the time, there's usually a cycle of good then bad. It may well be that in a few months time new projects will come into view, so I think it's only a matter of time until new solutions will rise to the new problems.

You are right about one thing though, bad project dominates the market but if you make deligent research, you will find out other great projects too,  i can assure you of one which is shengworld but tge bounty is almost ending and the rules are extremely strict especially for members with low rank.  I think the current market is not favourable and even project that have good quality do seems bad but hopefully when the bull comes, the dead bones sha rise

In recent times, it is not an easy task locating a project that would pay bounty hunters good money for  the work they do in promoting their projects. Some of us are still engaged in bounty hunting activities to keep us busy and for the fun of it since we share in the mission of one or two projects. If you are looking forward to paid well for bounties at this point in time then am sorry especially when you are of a lower ranks like Jr. member and member. At least the members with high ranks can afford to engage in signature campaigns at the service section that pays good money in bitcoin or Ethereum.

There are several projects that have a bounty campaign but there is no certainty of listing on large exchangers. Usually a new project that still has a bounty campaign will wait for the right time to listing at a large exchanger. Besides, a large exchanger also requires a lot of things so that the project can be listed

To start with, any project that has tendency to list on binance will not do airdrop or bounty, and will scrape any existing of such programs.

Secondly, if you are in search of bounties, and you target p2pb2b, exmarket, or chainx as a potential exchange the token will list, then you are on your own.
I wouldn't say bounty hunters do not do research, some just choose to freestyle and work based on luck.

Indeed nowadays we are very difficult to find such a quality project in 2017 and now many scam projects, for now actually many bounty projects are present but the quality of the project is not convincing and currently I believe With the ongoing CHENG project and really hope this project can get satisfactory results.

I have seen it recently actually, but it was a project that paid a lot of money. I mean we have BTT and BAT that also ran on bitcointalk too, am I right?

But I get what you mean, most of the altcoin threads here are not worth any of our time at all.

I've been reviewing a lot of projects even I'm currently participate in project of Sheng and many of them are not worthy at all. Its easy to determine if we just seriously research about it. I think some of them can be legit but not with high payouts. I've been targeting to participate next time in some exchange projects that possibly become a great one someday, hoping that it come this early of April.

I think new projects are finding it hard to stamp their authorities in the crypto world today. and that can be attributed to few reasons such as

Inability to raise funds through private sales or crowdfunding
Repetition of existing projects in the crypto space, which means they do not introduce anything unique and has a use case.

Just as you stated, project listing on certain exchanges are definitely bound to fail.

some still pay and have value in the market even though it is small. not all are bad but indeed looking for good is very difficult for now. looking for an altcoin project to be a gamble that must risk our time and money.

actually, there are still some legit and good projects introduced here in the forum. the common problem is once you get paid (usually weeks or months after the campaign), is it at least worthy to exchange? and most of the time, once they credited your share to your account, the value already decline in the exchanges, which either you will prefer not to sell it hoping that one day it will increase but it will not. so bottomline, you will be a holder of crap tokens from the bounty.

even good projects decline after couple of weeks or months in trading. but if you want to take risk joining one of them, at least do your due diligence and select what you think will hit in the market, preferably with real use case and can gain potential active users.

What the purpose of you to join bounty campaign? Money issue? You was wrong to come to this forum if your purpose was gaining a lot of money in this forum through bounty campaign. Moreovee you rank still lower and you will not get a lot of stake per one bounty project. Other than that for those projects who held bounty campaign I think most of them aren't have money to pay the exchange in order to their project being listed. They try this forum and ask bounty hunter to promote their project and hoping that the popular exchange are willing to accept them.

Bounty hunters has nothing to do with trash bounties, because they are all just trying all of the bounties to figure out what's is the best bounty. I know most of the bounties nowadays are so disappointing but we don't have any choice but to keep on trying until we find the right one, because no one knows what miracle could be happen in bounties. While there has no good bounties, why not try on signature campaign that pays bitcoin every week? you might get lucky there to be accepted.

It's simple, if a project decide to list on small exchange it's because they can't afford the listing fee for top exchanges and it's another way to the plan or outcome of the project, it's certain that project who lists on small exchange will have hard time to become successful

Not all projects that get listed on small exchanges are bad, for example you can find BTC pairs on these so called small exchanges too, some projects start their early life on small exchanges and as time goes on they list on other better exchanges

sometimes we know that the gift program that we follow will be a scam or cheat. but here we only have capital sure to continue to test my luck to get a gift. some were indeed giving us gifts and some had disappeared after the tokens were distributed. but to pursue the gift of the best exchanges such as huobi or binance it cannot be because it is limited by a low ranking.

Bounty results is not always like that, if all you want is projects that list on top Exchanges you might be getting very low payout because many want quality projects just like you and many participants will full the spreadsheet in short time, remember that many participants equals low rewards

Unfortunately, you came to the bounty sphere very late and it is now very difficult to find worthy bounty companies and therefore we have to participate in various bounty companies in which we even doubt very much due to the lack of quality companies that conduct bounties.

Even sometimes low rated bounties will be more profitable than bounties that get listed on top exchanges, sometimes shitcoins brings the biggest profits too and top coins will only bring fair returns, in crypto space you should be ready to take any risk for better result

Even you know many running projects are going paused for corona virus panic. Yeah may be there are no new projects will implement in these season. No projects, No new bounty campaign. But right now i see too much btc pay campaigns, some high reputed managers are conducted. So still alive worthy projects for specific ranked members.               

Really impressed by you coming up with such a topic like that at this time in which their is assurance in any project. Back in those one can find very good project with promising future .The only mistake you are making here is that a project have to be listed on a very good exchange for it to be valuable which I don't think so . Projects success depends on the team and their work.

Juet like what I have been said and what many says, the bounties right now are very down and it is no more just like from the past years that it is boom and whatever, right now the bounties is crap and even high ranks doesn't have participating in bounties because they also know that the blunty nowadays are very down and it is not the old bounty campaign section in which you can earn a good profit.

The market has lost faith in new projects, far too many fail, far too many turn out to be glorified scams, while others simply were never viable to begin with.

A huge number of people jumped on the ICO bang wagon because some genuinely good projects pumped to the high heavens. However, the crap that appears nowadays is not on the same level and is almost certainly destined for failure.

Avoid investing in crowdfunds or wasting your time supporting IEO, ICO or STOs nowadays, you'll only get burnt.

Many new projects are currently unsuccessful due to falling market conditions. When the market goes down, investors' interest to invest or speculate becomes down because they prefer to wait and see. I still remember the beginning of 2018 where many new projects were able to sell tokens successfully and only for a short time because at that time the price of Bitcoin was above $ 15k

At this point of time, we still cannot expect for new projects that have better quality to sprout out because wr are still into focusing on facing the world crisis we have right now. There are still lots of projects in the forum that may surely worth your time for a while just to have a source of income while the crisis is still on. Market is still unstable as of the moment and the prices of the cryptocurrencies is still declining. It will not be easy to raise funds at time like this to start up launching a new project because of certain factors affecting this situation. Maybe after the crisis have been settled and once the market have recovered from the downfall, we can somehow expect new projects to come that will be worthy of everyone's time. But as of now, just be patient on what's in there because the important thing is you have a project to get engage with but of course which is reputable and legible to be working with.

Then they should not continue their project if they lack the funding, otherwise, the money of the investors will just be put in high risk as lack of funding means lack of development while project will take time to succeed or it might fail soon.

This is the main reason, they learn in the past. In order for the investors to trust investing again, they need to be in FOMO once again and it will only happen when altcoin season will arrive or bitcoin will break a new ATH.

The price of bitcoin is not important for new projects, 2018 is still a great year for new projects because they still receive a lot of attention from investors. But ever since those projects became scams, investors have gradually become scared and dared not invest in new projects. And it causes projects that lack the budget to operate and create products

If you look at the market and see its bleakness, you will not be surprised when no new quality projects appear. I think we just need to wait for the market to improve and there will be good projects coming out

We need to be more patience now, smart teams have already announced on telegram group that there will be some delays because of the cov-19 disaster happening around the world now, no good project will launch bounty this time, it's definitely not a good time

As most of the projects are coming from Europe, expect a least number of company that will continue their work towards cryptocurrency as everything on the west is not on its position. Markets are down, especially the stock market, cryptocurrency on the other hand is having a hard time to get back to his feet or atleast at $8K range as the world is struggling with covid19 pandemic. However, Even before this things happen we still have low quality projects coming from all direction, bounty campaigns are hardly getting enough payments for promoting, So I guess that is another story of a crisis.

The old days when you could earn a lot are definitely over. Today there are very few projects that could deserve your attention. And these too are not very profitable. The money from the ICO market has finally flowed out. It didn't take long with IEO either

What are happening to the new projects? Then absolutely they are just having a hard time with it especially for those people who are gaining ranks of jr member right now that still there are some bounty campaigns that are offering job for jr members but I think they are not legitimate especially right now that the bounty campaigns are more likely scam so there are a few people who are getting into it but the thing is they are still many people who are participating on this kind of bounties.

New projects are always weird at first come to think about the toilet paper token when you see its up on CMC with over 1000% growth, I can't even begin to think its listed but its there. If you find it stupid then you are obviously new in crypto, scam comes and go. You can just laugh about it after learning you are just one of those who promoted one of it.

I will still like to emphasize on this, you shouldn't believe any project that promise huge amount of payment to its hunters though this is not a yardstick to judge the project rather a step to the right direction.  Doing one own research before joining any bounty campaign will pave way to detect if the project are fraud like in nature. This can make one understand either to participate or not into the campaign, Hitmex has scam those who promoted their exchange and according to the scam allegations the Bounty manager was have said to scam the project with $145$ or there about. Also, not doing research alone but be mindful of the manager you work with as most of them are contributory manager to scam and fraud  ;D

I truly thought I was the only one observing and affected, new projects often come with a lot of prospects and promises, only to kill joy and waste precious time. I wish there are strict regulation to ascertain the veracity of these new projects before they are served to the public. Undoubtedly, some of these new projects are mitigating total global adoption of crypto currency and this is not good news.

That is why I stop doing bounties at the moment considering almost 99 percent of them don't succeed, It is a pretty big percentage but it is true. Successful projects are very rare now, some projects Don't even bother to have a bounty. These methods of promotion are not working anymore it does not bring new investors. Social media giveaways and events are much better and convenient, beneficial for projects and fewer expenses. Those ICO's and bounty days are gone.

too many scam projects are the main reason why many projects fail during sales and some IEOs are also carried out in exchanges that have a bad reputation, besides the nonsense of some new projects makes investors lazy to invest

failures of new projects do occur often because there may be no support from the developers and projects that can be developed can not provide a solution that can provide benefits to its users so as to make the project fail.

spend hours of researching one by one  ? i salute you with that   . i know its hard because there are lots of bounties on that board  and its confusing because of thier title which sounds like almost all of them are verry promising   but thats imposible if you havent found atleast one good bounty because there are thousand of them on that section  .

 you can scan on the next page and so on  , if you cant find a good one on the first page   . also dont be racist man  , not all nigerians are bad  . also some of the exchanges that you mention on the op are good  .

Bounty is dead 80%.. Most of the project concept is same and they always turned to fail or scam. Also there is a reason to added those exchanger because they don't look after the project, they only collect their Fees and add shit coins for   for IEO.       

I think investors now prefer to invest in projects that are already running and have a good reputation rather than new projects, because I rarely see new projects successful, most of them fail because of the lack of funds to develop the project and some are fleeing after the end of the sale period.

i think the projects without any working product or prototype are all always bit risky both for investors and bounty hunters.

The things we should be looking into as both investor and bounty hunter is to see if the project social media accounts are managed properly e.g when was the last post and how was the engagement from the community. As many project buy fake followers/subscribers and engagement is NIL most of the times.

Similarly linkedin profiles of team members and github activity are also a solid indicators to filter out the shit tokens and coins.

The problem with new projects this days is the Exchanges they plan to list on, this is not about end results, with IEO you already know what will happen in the end if you go for low exchanges. If you want better results go for high rated exchanges

New projects are choosing low volume exchange for cheating the people, it is not at all good idea to participate in those IEO because it makes us lose our money. So we should choose a higher volume exchange like Binance and Huobi because they will list some potential companies.

Here at this time we face lot of problems even real life or crypto life, so no good project coming right now. We can invest right now if a good project coming with popular exchange IEO like binance kucoin hitbtc. At this time every project token sales results is to big low so a project want higher results then do show their best developing.

there is no short answer to this so yeah.
first of all - its always been like this, most of the projects we meet are either total garbage or too popular to get risky investments.
second of all - yes bounty hunter can get greedy and promote projects they did invest in just to get their investments back with profit that is the reality my friend

You are a few years late. Bounty hunting was profitable around 2017 where someone your rank can earn a decent amount of money from good bounties. Even higher ranks today are having a hard time earning through bounties. There are a lot of shitty projects who choose crappy exchange due to low listing fee.

It looks like you are a bounty hunter who only cares about the money you will get from the project you are working on that will be listed on a good exchange. That is natural, but not all new projects can be registered or collaborate with a large exchange, all must start from the bottom and it is natural because the project competition is very tight. Only really good or lucky projects can do that

yes, for now, the situation cannot be ascertained. even 4 out of 5 projects can be said of fraud at this time. Well, nowadays many projects are just trying to attract investors, and after they achieve what they want, sometimes they leave their project. because of this, people began to make their own research.

It is even possible that 90% of bounty projects are dead. At the moment I don't see any updates coming from new projects, they are too quiet about the current situation and I don't see any ICO or IEO plans this month.

I already noted myself that I will not participate in any projects in this year. My focus in this current year is to increase my portfolio in gambling and in trading. I'm now a type of investor who finds opportunity in order to grow my capital and for me I don't see any opportunity in new projects anymore. I think it is because of the huge losses that I incurred before and that is why I'm now afraid to do that again.

Welcome to the world of bounty hunting post the 2017 boom. Projects now a days offer very little bounty and you have to consider yourself lucky if they even get listed. No coin is going to get listed in binance because they demand high listing fees for the exchanges and No project what's to spend that amount.

Bounty today is different from a few years ago because many new projects that are scam or projects cannot reach sales targets. But there are still some projects that in my opinion are good and doing IEO on exchangers is considered good

Maybe because you just started a hunting trip and still have a rank that is small enough so that you only get a little payment, so you say if the current project is not quality, actually there are still some that have good quality but it is very difficult to find it for now

Pretty much this. 99% of new projects / bounties / airdrops are scams or shady. It's all about finding that 1% that has the potential to be a success.

The reason for them to choose the new exchange is listing fees. They only need to pay a much smaller amount and their project will be listed on those exchanges, if they want IEO on larger exchanges they need to pay several million dollars to be able to be selected

Just making so much noise, am sure ones you volunteere to foot their bill to list on Okex, Binance..... they won't be in crap exchange, you can be a private investors to any of the project to save them the trouble,
If you see any project that don't worth your time, move on to the next one, no need to use such condescending tone just because a project team came from a particular country,
You have such a foul tongue for your jr member account, you must think you have conquered the world being a jr member.

Some of the members lack the option to choose from, they promote projects hoping that the project will turn out to be good after the market gets better, and on leadwallet, good projects have no nationality, even if they are all coming from one country, as long as their project is not on the scam thread they are still ok to run crowdfunding, it's still in the hands of the investors.

In promoting a project, those who like to work understands already the status of the market now, majority of the project will fail so majority of the bounty hunters will not be able to get a good reward, they are promoting hoping they will be lucky being able to promote a successful project and they don't actually risk money like investors, so at the end of the day, they don't lose anything, except for the little effort.

Here are few good resources to find the good projects one is managed by   cryptoaddictchie (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1269701) and his thread is updated quite often you can see the safe campaigns here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.msg53916917#msg53916917)

Another one is managed by Akiko (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=825740) and it's about exchange able tokens you can find it here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232710.msg54025514#msg54025514)

There are few good projects out there but you have to do bit research to find good ones. Talking about 2019-2020 i think one of the best campaigns was that of origin protocol which was conducted in multiple phases and rewards were very good.

They will take time when participating in the campaigns here. They work for months and wait months to get those tokens, but ultimately. Those projects fail and investors are unable to sell those tokens, it is better to give up the bounty and look for a better job.

Its up to investors who will be the one to invest them and bounty hunters must try their best to promote the project they participated. Some newbies today are just participating without any background check about the project and how much campaign will they participate in social media. Today, only few projects are taking seriously to launch their token and a lot of them just purpose is to scam others.

Indeed, that is what many beginners do now and do not see the background of the team and therefore they always promote without control what happens to the project, so investors don't want to invest in the project by promoting the beginner to that only ordinary projects will not succeed.
Investors always see what is happening with the project and therefore it is very important to check the background of the project.

You guys think maybe it is because its quite easy to get funding for the projects? I mean it looks like maybe we are making things quite easy for the projects and that is why there are very low effort scam projects that still pops up all the time?

Let's say you are creating a new coin, you are offering it on some ICO or whatever, people are paying money to you to get that coin "cheap" (which the price will be even lesser after day 1) and you get the money, on top of that you just give more of that coin for free to people who promote it, so your coin gets a bit of famous as well, all in all you spent nothing but a made up coin you will give out but you both got money for free and also got promoted and now have a community. It is too easy to scam like that nowadays.

When people are literally moving away from crypto and stocks and other investments, hell some people are so afraid they are literally selling all of their assets, it is not really wise to assume projects would get funding neither. Plus, there are not that many people who are really into crypto and really smart and really innovative that hasn't built their own crypto already, many people who could do something like that has already dome something like that anyway.

Long story short if you are expecting a new project that will change the crypto world, do not hold your breath, I doubt it will ever happen again but even if it does the number will not be more than one per year, we would be lucky to get one per year actually, so all the other hundreds of projects will be all a waste.

Why did they launch the project if they know they are not prepared or that they do not have the fund to kickstart. I know that getting money is not something easy, most especially when it is needed to list on big exchanges. These exchanges collect a huge amount of money but at the same time, some of them use that same money to provide liquidity for the project. So, it is in the best interest of the project team and the investors.
Listing on shit exchange does not portray a project to be good. in fact, it tells a lot about it.

Hundreds of projects are planning to advertise but only some are really serious with the original plan. I think based on what is happening in this market, we cannot blame them because covid-19 is making the situation worse and if not sure, do not participate because it only makes for you more time consuming.

I always check many times before joining and always have a reasonable strategy to ensure the project brings me money.

To what I observed, most of projects are keep failing especially today where there is a crisis that is a threat in every economy. It is better if we will stay away to those kind of projects if we want to protect our capital. The risks are so high and I do not have that kind of risk appetite and that is why I ignoring the new projects in the market.

the bounty hunter is not blind but aware that the bounty starts from zero, does not immediately become big because everything needs a process.
we can't say that every new project now has no bright future, because maybe of the many new projects there will emerge as the top altcoin competitor.
basically do not use bounty as a source of income but use it as a trigger for crypto space to be more colorful.

The are few projects that are still good, IMO. You may use this link as reference: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0

He' given few projects that are worth it to partcipate with and I think you should try it. Although it seems too attractive to participate with these projects, have a proper research also as we really have to be picky with regards to bounty campaigns these days.

This is good information for bounty hunters and I think this will prevent hunters from working on scam project campaigns. With this guide, hunters can choose projects according to their wishes and get paid compared to working on unclear projects

It is indeed difficult to find 1% and it requires good research to find a legitimate project. There are many threads that discuss this and by keeping abreast of new project developments, we will be able to distinguish which projects are scams and which are not

Don't you think that all projects in the bounty are nonsense projects. there are still many projects that have good prospects and have started to be registered in the country. You are still too late to start looking for the project. please just search and do not have to think too long, rather than thinking too long we just have projects in this forum

Not all projects are bad and some of these ones going to the aforementioned exchanges also paid for IEO which is according to what they have, I do check projects before I do the bounty anyway but bounty isn't like before and we have so many greedy fellows out there looking for who to scam. Do your research before doing bounty, we still have good bounties.

It's the responsibility of the investors to check every details regarding the project to make sure that it is beneficial and profitable. Aside from that, you have to consider the factors that may affect your investment that will guide you to determine how you can make a proper decision. Some projects are made to take advantage of people's assets and for that reason we should think carefully and be cautious before investing to avoid falling into scams.

Anonlyz it seems you are a Nigerian? OP words get you good  ;D lol, don't feel bad about it, many scammers on telegram are from Nigeria , they use others identity and crafted names to fool people, it's a big shame for people in that country, it's rare to see them do things without backstabbing in the end

There are no new projects, because people understood, that not everything need blockchain technology and (probably) it is easier and quicker to raise funds on kickstarter than run ico. Plus there are fewer money in cryptocurrency since 2017 (golden period of ico).

even though it is only a person who may not be all Nigerian people do it, but one country gets the impact. they seemed to play rough to get personal gain, regardless of the others. of course this is very sad, because the dark lines and shortcuts are used

Without proper regulation, a lot of scammers appear on the cryptocurrency market, who have only one goal to collect money from trusting investors. And such "projects" can promise high income for investors after the end of the ICO and high pay for bounty hunters. But they initially know that this will not be fulfilled.

Projects that promise to get high returns when investing in them are scams. I have seen a lot of projects like that, they offer great offers to attract investors and hit their greed. But the end result is that those projects have become scams and don't have any profits as they promised

I think everyone know most of projects is a fraud project. No development after launch an ico/ieo or the project enter a bad market is a common thing. But, there is a few projects that really genuine. We still have a good chance to get a genuine project.

I agree that bounty hunters have absolutely nothing wrong about this problem, if a project is bad, just don't invest to it, but the bounty hunters are usually people from lower end countries who do need some money and these projects offer these people a good side income and sometimes even enough to be an income and that is why they do these bounties like crazy in packs in order to get something and maybe one of the projects will turn out to be something special and help their rent for a year, that is huge for bounty hunters.

Investors on the other hand are the people who have money on their hands, if you are getting a loan from a bank to invest to a new project, you must be a new kind of special person, normally investors are people who already have money and they should pick a good project, not just believe any bounty hunter.

yes, we see that there are projects that are listed in the bad exchange, so it is certain that their development will be bad. even in a matter of months to years, they will disappear from the community.

Both new and old projects everyone is tryna survive this period of global disease. Bear market destabilised the market when it tried rising, the pandemic took over.

There are many great and promising projects out there if you DYOR!

What i have seen so far is laziness on the part of the so called bounty hunters and shouldn't blame the scammers who outsmart these guys with their dubious projects. I was unfortunate to participate in many of these bounties but always be cautions of the ways they(scammers) present their projects to scam gullible investors and bounties hunters. Let's us learn how to carryout our own research before promoting any project around here. This has caused many investors funds to be scam by these inhuman on the planet earth. Let work on ourselves and not be lazy.

If you look for it there are some good ones even though I'm actually not too sure which is good I think leasehold, but for leadwallet I am confused why many people say it's good even though as op said the team only contains nigeria people. but hopefully this project will succeed because if it fails , some members who follow leadwallet bounty only waste their time.

Those scammers really knew how to play this types of game, they will offer something that bounty hunters can't resist and with the help of those participants investors will look at it as something as legit projects.
Afterwards, those wise scammers will runaway bringing everything and those hunters and investors will be wasting time and money.

This coronavirus is greatly affecting so many projects as investors are isn't there anymore to buy tokens and many withdrew to fiat because of lockdown. No one is stable as it both online and offline so we just hope for the best pretty soon. And also investors have lost hope in ICO or IEO because if high rate of scams too.

The problem is, how do you find that? Yes, you have a chance to get that but without any research then it's just a bullshit. If I recall correctly, the genuine projects don't even make a bounty campaign as they mostly get the funds from crowdfunding or private Sales, while most of you guys know certain projects from bounty campaign lol.

Wasting time on bounty is nothing new because it's common and many have experienced something like that, so for now we see whether all of the OP words are true or vice versa

Yeah and don't be surprise. Those are bounty abuser and they don't even know different between a good and a bad projects. Now days it's rare that a good projects running their bounty event. Of course you missed some but be patience you'll get next one. ;)



Last year we saw some projects which listed on binance, kucoin and other good exchanges. This year just started so be patience hope good quality projects will come for us. And of course people should more careful about those projects which are running their ieo in shady exchange like ChainX, p2pb2b, exmarket (in my little experience it's just a waste of time). So be patience and work for good quality projects even if you have just one single bounty.

You are right. But startups whose fundraising is not enough to afford frees of leading exchanges for holding ieo. But really due to upcoming more and more scammed projects, reputation and trust of good project has also came down. At the initial stage , there are bounty managers who are getting impacted most.

That's what you get in the dark time. Bounty hunters aren't in the position to be picky about what project they want. Most wasting their time with a finger cross that they may hit a jack pot.

I agree. There are still some airdrops that will follow through with their promises. Not every project wishes to sacrifice their reputation by not paying out an airdrop.

Investors gave up on the ICOs because most of the ICO gives shit coin and scamming.
Todays bounty is not so realiable .
Im just trying my luck to get a good coin on a bounty.
Small amount is good than nothing.
It is better to find a Bitcoin payer for a bounty  which involve bitcointalk so that you can get a sure money with that

yeah some only but not many because if they are many of them are paying people will not complain that much  .

if they dont pay , its okay for them to lost thier repuation because alot of them are newly built anyway but its risky if you are old enough on this space and you wil damage your repuation by not paying your workers   .new projects are new so what should we expect to them  ? its normal if they wont pay you , this is why many recomends to skip newer projects  .

With this reference at least we are not too difficult to determine a project but still do our own research and do not 100% trust completely because it is only speculation from the thread maker. not necessarily 100% correct because everyone has a different view on every project

I think that bounty hunters still participate in such bounty programs, because they remember how in 2017 almost all tokens grew in price. And now you can easily find such threads that discuss past earnings in past campaigns. But now the market has changed and such bounty programs do not give the same profit.

Because the bounty task is not that hard so they can easily participate, in fact there are a lot of bounty members who spam the forum just to get their bounty task done, most of them are low rank and maybe they are the ones who miss the opportunity in 2017.

However, we can't also conclude that joining a bounty is useless as there are still projects with great potential that maybe not profitable now but in the future they have a chance to grow.

There are still many payment campaigns in BTC, but to be honest, they have too many requests for participants. And there are a lot of people waiting to be involved in these campaigns, so I think not too many people are accepting these types of campaigns.

It is the market condition we are seeing for more than a year already, is the problem not the projects actually. There are many projects passed by on the previous years up to the recent ones but still, despite of the huge potential of those projects, they are still ending to be a "crappy" project. No matter which exchanger you put a coin from a bounty project, nowadays, the market price of new coins in the market are more likely to be low, or to be high at the beginning then fall in a sudden. Much better if you will just continue, and just hold the rewards, also be patient to wait for the recovery of the market in general. Who knows, one of your holdings, if it really has a huge potential and popularity, will be able to be a bigger crypto in the future. But such thing will only happen if there will be a recovery, soon, because if a year would again pass by, without any recovery, the coins will just be good as 'dead'.

I doubt it. Fomo will act primarily on Bitcoin and existing altcoins.
During the past growth, new projects were something really new, unknown and promising.
Now, new projects are mostly improved copies of old ones.

I have not seen a project that fulfilled their promise in 2020, most of them have failed to start the project. And some projects continually delay distribution for a variety of reasons. If this situation continues, I believe that airdrop and bounty will die this year

You are right about one thing though, there are no much of good project again. Well, most of these projects we see as shitty ones are sometimes legit but the general market turndown isn't favorable for start up projects unless it is being pioneered by well established and influential team members. Again i'd say your research wasn't extensive enough, if not you'd have discovered some few quality projects that already have listing agreement with well-known exchanges. Below is a link to a thread containing the list of quality projects worth working for in the bounty section, the thread wasn't created by me but the project in it are worth giving a try.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0

I think the major reason why new projects fail is because they just want to copy existing projects. Most of them just start the project without thinking about to they should actually do, without solving a problem or bring an innovation. Another reason is lack of good promotion. Most projects just focus on bounties alone to promote their tokensale, which is not enough.

There are good bounty campaigns here if you do some research before joining the campaign. I see bounties launched daily choose what will be good for you to promote and earn some rewards. Do not condemn  every new project being launched. Look out for the hood ones.

Well, since you are a junior member, I think you still have a lot to learn and doing your research well must have helped you to understand that exchange like Binance to promote strict project on their launchpad don't allow them do bounty campaign. In fact, last year Harmony that did bounty campaign had to stop it immediately binance DEX accept them. Furthermore, you need to understand that many of projects now dying. some will even do token sales for more than a year yet they will not even make half of the softcap. doing bounty projects now is not profitable except you are doing it for fun.

If you actually research well you will still see some good bounty but the problem is that most of us are still living in the reality of over two years ago when we are making thousands of dollars in a campaign. We need to wake up to the reality of 2020.

A good project can be ignored by the big exchanges or it is possible to be squeezed by the competitor project. Every possibility which takes credibility from the project can happen and it is hard to get out of the circle in the bear market.

Now it’s really hard to find good projects.  But after careful study, you can find projects that deserve attention and which have a future in crypto technology.

The right decision if you are able to weigh the bounty campaign in accordance with your capacity, so as not to join the campaign without being careless without paying attention to quality. Well, the current situation is quite difficult, so most bounty hunters try their luck (maybe), because we know that it is quite difficult to predict the future of the project if it is still in the gray zone. Sometimes projects that were initially less promising actually have good developments, such as Ixinium, who would have thought the development would be this good? So if it's good enough then it doesn't hurt to try, accept all failures as a risk.

For me, even though the project is listed on a exchange we cant say for sure that is a good project. There should have variety of criteria to be called a good one. Take note of many projects that has been listed in the past most of them have gone now and delisted why? Liquidity is important and in order to create one, a project must have potential and that means a platform that is worth using for.

not only you, but we are all on the same track. and you must understand that the job of being a project promoter is not always profitable on the one hand, this is the risk of being a bounty hunter. therefore, I always say to not rely too much on the results of being a bounty hunter in the crypto industry, you should find another job in the real world with a steady income.

Your point still refers to 'Maybe' , which means it's not certain the project will be successful, it's same fate for all new bounty projects I guess, but I read somewhere on this forum about ixinium bounty which IEO happened on p2pb2b exchange you referred to yet the project became successful for hunters

Too many scam projects are the main reason why many projects fail during sales ICO and some IEOs are also carried out in exchanges that have a bad reputation. Besides the nonsense of some new projects makes investors lazy and tired to invest

But for those bounties, they offer very low budgets. And you will feel unworthy of your work. I also like participating in the bounty listed at exchanges because it's a lot safer and we can sell tokens as soon as we receive it.

Yeah, that's what we called it "New project". The truth must be told, new projects are aim to scam investors and not to give back to investors as we have seen in time past. Suggestions: stop investing in new projects because they are targeted to scam sincere cryptocurrency investors. This has happened several times on this forum and investors had also raised alarm about their investment disappearance, it's time to invest on old projects and never choose to invest in projects without real future but virtual future. Lets be more careful with with our research into projects before proceeds for investment.

You won't feel unworthy if the reward is known to you before you joined the bounty campaign.
The fact that you joined, it means you accepted all the terms and condition and therefore you can't expect anything more after the task is done.
You also have to understand that what you earn might also grow in value in the future, so if you like big reward, consider holding it.

Not all listed bounty tokens are worth promoting, if the project is not listed on top exchange do not bother to take the risk because the price will dump, it's better to promote projects that haven't revealed the exchange they plan to list

as you said by yourself  "The good projects are over " ,there where times that almost every bounty was garanteed for making money but that is a long time ago but for now it is just hard to find good projects  , i am sure that there are good projects which also pay , and then it is the trick to hodl them till better times come, immediatly sell your bount only earn you pennings

At present, good projects are coming short.Investors in good projects have a lot to offer. But due to several scam projects, people get less investment.The global situation is expected to be normal. Many good projects will come to market.

Think for yourself, what is the point of  a bounty if now many people are investing in projects that really have already earned trust.Many projects that have dared to bounty allocate very small budgets for this. Understand that 2017 is already difficult to return.

Assets are falling, markets are falling, money is becoming smaller and no one wants to lose them.
Now people are interested in the survival and preservation of assets, while new projects are development and technology.
It is worth waiting for the end of the pandemic and economic recovery.

Your opinion is absolutely right, now there are no profitable new projects, most of them just want fund raising and make bounty hunters as slaves,
paid by shitcoins. It's sad, but that does not mean there is no hope. Usually, if we are smart enough, we will do research there are 1-2 good new
projects. This situation occurs because the price of cryptocurrency has not returned to the price of all time high. Therefore we hope the market can
return like 2017-2018.

The thing is; the market is in such a condition that doesn't favour new projects because people are always skeptical to invest in them due to past scam and fraudulent experience they had and the use of IEO as a fundraising scheme dosen't really favour start up projects that doesn't have a team tgat is financially sounds as listing IEO on top exchanges requires huge money so low cap projects often settles in for lesser exchanges where they won't be able to nlraise any tangible amount. Another thing is quality projects that can afford listing on good exchanges dosen't need bounty promotions any more

But I'm seeing the consequence of pandemic is slowly getting over as there are many talks about possibility of vaccines to be developed in very near future. So, we can expect about markets not to be falling further anymore so that we will not be losing anything here after. When worldwide economic conditions will be good and start slowly growing up, I believe crypto markets also will be following that. Because, we are all having investors from every part of this world and when everyone getting back into their normal life then we can expect this crypto space will be growing like before.

At this mean time, we cannot expect new projects to be performing well in terms of attracting new investors and devs to be providing any update about their progress as per their roadmap. Everything is getting delayed hence we need to calm down for some period of time so that everything will be get back into usual action.

 You are right on this , there are several worthless bounty projects even the one that claimed to have IEO on a good Exchange still ended up folding up and Team apologized to bounty hunters after wasting time and resources to promote  the worthless project. But i think if you check well there are a few bounties that are already trading with a working project with bounty detective , lets believe they will pay at the end.

Right! As a bounty hunter, there is nothing we can do better than choosing projects to join and hope they will pay at the end. It's not easy to hold the feeling when you work really hard and get nothing. However, that's one of the risk bounty hunters have to accept. We can only reduce the risk by doing good researches about the project, but we can't eliminate the risk completely!

Yes those exchanges will drag the projects down and there is nothing any bounty hunter can do about it, or rather not in all cases. My reason is, remember there are times you will see a potential bounty which looks good from your own perspective, only to start and at the end the team decides to list on those exchanges for IEO, also remember most projects doesn't share their listing plan with anyone at the on set; so in cases like this, no one is to be blamed. Also, remember that those top exchanges mentioned always have high listing fee which new projects might not have, but that doesn't justify listing on those exchanges when there are others which are better.

If you do good research on bounty projects how did you end up promoting ibidtowin which is a complete scam project, I guess your are attracted to the campaign because the team decide to pay in USDT? Well it's all lies, do visit scam accusation section and see for yourself

This is the kind of possibility that everyone should be willing to accept on, it's normal in the current situation now that only few projects will succeed, so we have to be realistic and just move on when we are not making money, there's still a lot of projects to promote, the best way to do is just don't join in a bounty that needs a long period to promote, so you will not feel the pain so much.

You're exactly right, most bounty hunters are too stupid to research, whcih is exactly why they participate in bounties to begin with.

Rather than making real money and investing that money in high quality projects, they instead trade their time (mostly spamming) and earn a bunch of random shit tokens with no potential.

The projects that are actually likely to succeed don't need to run a bounty. They have thousands of investors lined up to buy out their token allocation.

Don't make the same mistake that thousands of bounty hunters are making. Break the cycle and you'll be better for it.

Mostly, the bounty hunters that are now are those who are attracted due to the bull run last 2017 and early 2018.
Some bounty hunters who made real money in 2017 and 2018 are now slowing down, they relax and could have invested their earning already.

The reality is, these bounty hunters no matter how hard they make a research, it's hard to beat the reality that only few of the crowdsale now are successful, so they are also not earning well.

I stopped doing bounties since 2018 but i came back now wondering if bounties are still surviving.
i can see that there are only few legit projects now adays and i think that is because of the market condition plus the covid19 pandemic.
Hopefully by next year new projects would be just like in the year 2017 and 2018.

I like your ways, if you can't find good projects to promote you have to halt, wait for some weeks or months then you will find another, some bounty hunters are always in rush because they need money and that will only get them blind

Judging from many bounty posts on this forum many bounties still gives good rewards and it seems this year will be better than 2019 experience, I see that projects like tachyon protocol, Cartesi, tokoin, ixinium etc are all 2019 Campaigns, lucky are those who promoted these projects, bounties still make sense

The main problem of Bitcointalk bounty is that the quality of the entire forum just got worsen compare to 3-4 year ago before the ICO hype

The Old Bitcointalk is more of crypto discussion, adoption and etc
Nowadays post are mainly Promoting Scams, Wanted Quick Gain - which also lead to greed bounty campaigners to create bad bounty which doesn't even benefit the project who promote it

The projects you listed where on the top-notch for bounty hunters and they really made them to smile. Aside that, this year has also been birthing good bounty projects. Some are already out with good results, while others might take some time more.
Most times, it is not about the time, but how well it ends. ost of the 2019 projects came out with good results in 2020. So, i won't be surprise to see most 2020 projects materialize in 2021.

I think to be honest, most projects are finding it hard to find the necessary hype to push the products of the project. And i feel it is because most projects this days are below par, and does not impress an average investor. Bounty hunters join ridiculous bounties in a hope that it would end up being worth it, and if we consider the growths of azbi, hex and even tachyon protocol earlier this year, it is safer to say as a bounty hunter, do whatever suits you very well. it is your time and effort, just remember to do your own research

ICOs have caused this market to collapse, and it also makes this forum not as good as it used to be. Since the launch of the ICO in 2017, there has been a lot of spams and fake accounts, which has caused the quality of the posts to go down and flood the scammer.

Most ICO projects in the year 2017 and 2018 have caused the market to collapse because most of them are scam and unsuccessful. Good thing that there are still promising projects that are continuously developing and have a good value in the crypto market. I also think this forum is still good as it used to be; other crypto users just hated the merit system because they are not able to spam.

The quality not ico's have definitely gone down the drainage these recent days. Although there are many ico's happening most of them aren't getting past the soft cap and most of the projects are just plain useless.

Indeed. The merit system made everyone in this forum fair that most of them have stopped creating multiple accounts and creating spammed posts or topics.
Also, new bounty projects nowadays are having difficulties making their project successful because of the issue from the last year of 2017 and 2018. A lot of investors and bounty hunters have already lost their interest to participate due to huge numbers of unsuccessful and scam projects.

I think so too. A lot of new investors from 1028 burned theier hand in the huge ICO wave back then. Now those investors have become feweer and those who remained are very cautios in investing in ICOS

I do not agree with you. I see a lot of useful discussions on this forum and often it helps me to get new knowledges. also, I invested in a few projects that I learned about through this forum

Avoid any new project that use p2pb2b exchange, you won't get any good result from the project but disappointments only, I haven't seen a new project that survives on p2pb2b exchange, I can say such exchanges are projects destroyers

You made good use of this forum. some on the forums might be project scams. but not all are scammers. from the forum, we can see potential projects also developing.

I completely agree with you. At least my very first acquaintance with cryptocurrency happened thanks to the bitcointalk forum. In addition, thanks to the forum, I was able to receive information or discuss it regarding profitable investments or learn about the correct formation of goals for trading, as well as about analyzing the market and specific projects. I believe that for every newbie, the forum is practically the most basic source of information.

Unfortunately you are right. At the moment, there are no good bounty companies. I do not think that the participants are blind, just everyone wants to make money and tries to trust new companies. I now have about 10 bounty companies under review and I don't even know if I can choose at least one company to participate. I have the impression that now they are launching bounty companies just to make money by selling tokens themselves. Because of this, there are no good projects.

good project is not over yet one example of a good project and many people have talked about recently is oikos. many forum members sometimes work without getting anything because they lack research

indeed no new projects will still emerge but those who are interested in new projects are already very few because most of these new projects are not very able to make investors interested anymore, must have projects that are really useful and useful for many people so that it will trigger investors into and provide full support by buying it.

I think you must be patient especially that your rank is just a junior member. I have endured many days, even years, until my rank got to full members and it is when I observed that rewards from campaign, especially signature, becomes substantial. It is not as high and as near as hero or legendary member rank but the rewards becomes more significant.

sometimes the bounty hunter is blind because he only sees the very large allocation without realizing where the project will do IEO like some time ago one of the crap projects but there are still many participants joining https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253133.0

If you say we have many fake projects that are not worth the time I will agree with you, but saying all bounty campaigns projects are not worth it, I totally disagree. I have seen many make some good reward from bounty campaign this year. I guess you need to stay more often on the forum to see good ones.

The issue with bounty campaigns now is that it is getting difficult finding one and those few good projects that decided to do campaigns do not have signature campaign or that the budget is very low. Good projects now a days are getting their money from private investors or go straight for IEO no need for promotion because exchange would do that for them

True. There are lots of good projects way back year 2018. Investors have full trusts on projects and cryptocurrency that time is booming. Today, there's a bigger percentage of scam projects.

The problem is still same, raising money without any effort. When they have money, why would they continue to work? It is so easy to let the project dead and keep the money. There is no authority or institution that would help investors with a legal action.  ::)

The point is good projects will always find investors and all of the major projects in the cryptocurrency space got money from private investors and people like us never got a chance to invest.

Any idea about the projects that were deemed good during 2018 and how many projects are still running and how many lost their money, i lost a lot of money trusting some projects and i ended up being a bag holder or was forced to sell off at a very cheap rate than i invested. It was good for quick money as a pump and dump project.

You should remember ibid is a scam project and why did you promote them in your signature? it has already verified as a Ponzi project and some people have even proven it as a verified scam project too. In this case you are promoting the scam project.

He probably might not be aware. Someties, bounty hunters promote projects without checking what is happening to the project per time. I just wish he checks back and is aware of what has happened with iBid.
Many new projects are finding ways to raise fund, which is not an easy thing doing it on their own and some are hiding from being exposed through the exchange they want to list on.

2017 -2018 I think there are indeed many successful projects and rarely fraudulent projects in the past, unlike nowadays many projects fail and projects that commit fraud and in the past, many bounty hunters who get high incomes in 1 project

We need to be very careful right now when it comes to selecting new projects. If you remember the olden times of bounties where there are many good bounties that you can join. You can actually earn very big when it comes to bounties. But after the first quarter of 2018 until now, it is now difficult to find and join bounties that pays big because of many factors that affected these said projects. Anyway as many others have told, just research more on a project and see if it matters to you. Good luck to us all.

The scam projects have already decreased a lot since so many people were doing deep analyzation before they can try to decide to invest in a project. I kinda feel the scam project will have gone forever when people take DYOR as their responsibility. I hope scam project will disappear soon.

That's so true. Bounty campaigns nowadays don't have a huge budget like those back in the past. Furthermore, the number of bounty hunters is increasing so fast while the number of bounty campaigns doesn't grow. New projects right now usually skip the promotion step and go straight for IEO! The low-paying-reward leads to the desperation of many bounty hunters and some of them already left the market.

The new projects are keep failing one after another and for me it is expected because ICOs are now dead and many people do not want to patronize now new projects because of the risks. I experience to get scammed before because I thought it is a good project and it is the reason why I avoiding now to participate in new projects.

The projects know it that there will be no government entity that are willing to help the victims. But once taken action, they will get what they don't want to. Just like those projects that were reported and SEC took action and helped those victims, they caught the developers and owners of those projects.

Agreed, the majority of new projects choose listing on small Exchanges instead of Binance, Huobi etc. It often shows the low level of such project.

Yes, and it is also very reasonable because every year the conditions are always different in the realm of projects, there were many quality projects with large allocations and investor confidence too much so that the project can easily find success, if for the number of hunters in the past with at this time I think there is no difference in terms of numbers.

To be honest as an individual bounty hunters here in the forum, it means you are ready to face the possible consequences in each campaign projects. Because most of them are definitely not legit though none of them wont say they are not legit, of course not! instead, they do everything to hype everyone to support their project and make promises too to hit their target fund in the end.

It is very difficult for you to see the bounty listed at big exchanges like Binance, Okex, Huobi ... They are big projects so I think they do not need to promote it with bounty and airdrop. Btw I recently saw the bounty of ATTN, but it was canceled because this project was fake. Okex discovered it

This has been happening from the very start. You got to be smart in choosing a good bounty campaign project. The number of good campaigns are very few as compared to the fraud and scandalous ones. Also, the ongoing covid-19 situation has dropped the economy of many countries, so it has limited the number of projects that are being launched at the moment.

Many projects are at halt and are waiting for the market to settle down and for the right now. Also, I don’t think its right to defame a project if it doesn’t meet your expectations. A project you call crap today can be a huge deal in few days so never underestimate something. Although I agree with your point that everyone should do their own research before investing their time and money in anything.

DeFi, DeFi is happening

It's not so big as 2018 or 2019. This year it looks like newcomers aware about what they should to and the old investors or players were still spreading the more awareness to prevent the scam project.
The ecosystem become even mature this year.

I know right. There aren’t many legit campaigns available for junior members. If you rank up to member or above, then you have the opportunity to earn some amount that’s considerable. At the moment I don’t think there is any signature campaign that accepts the entry of junior members and there are very few other bounties that are worth it.

One should focus on ranking up by posting quality content instead of joining bounty campaigns at this moment when your rank isn’t that high. You could always join when you find a potential campaign.
