It seems that some scam projects manages to get on exchanges and pretend like everything is normal, they have good aim of exiting scam by introducing bounty campaign that will take weeks and along the way while bounty hunters are promoting the projects some investors attention will be caught, after bounty is about to end the coin or token value will now dumped, by the team

As a bounty Hunter, we create awareness for them to attract investors and they will dump on us leaving bounty hunters with nothing, it seem this is the new trick now, Spyce and Blockburn and IMO did this, no more volume, there was dumps and bounty hunters received nothing

It was happening actually since then they did not care for bounty hunter, they did all their part but they dump like they are not exist but not all bounty some bounty have consideration and now a days if you didn't sell the token then it will have no value better sell early than to hold for long time and regret on it.

Spyce did IEO on Bw exchange a bot trading exchange and they have been trading there, when they had no more money, they plan for another IEO in probit coupled with bounty. I knew something was wrong. IMO was a scam from the beginning only the emotional blinded stayed with them. It was a useless model.

IMO is obviously a scam model, if we have the knowledge in this market then I believe we will see it and stay away. Only blind people are involved in their project, also I'm afraid with the projects already listed at the exchange, the price keeps going down when the bounty ends. It seems that this is a new form of scam

It's hard to know what are the actual legit projects that you guys should help and participate with their bounty program. This can happen again for the remaining and upcoming bounties that will show themselves somewhere in the near future.

During the bear market, many bounty projects stopped their ICO because of the unfavorable market that we had faced. And it was also the time that many project turned out to be a scam. If they are a scam from the beginning and it's part of their plan, they will remain like that.

The truth is that in the crypto currency sphere, anything is possible. But that does not stop you from doing the basics.
Spyce, Blockburn has a good product, and i am sure once the pandemic is over, and life resumes, the gaming world would resume,  and osiris browser will be used, and there will be demand for their tokens. They have interesting listings ahead, and nothing can stop a token growth, not even the team. With regards IMO, IMO was a scam project from the beginning and there were enough red flags.

Why do i sound so confident? Hex team also dumped the market; but their platform released a feature, and it soared the price and everyone benefited from the pump and profits. Its not rocket science, its basic. A good project will always pump upon launch

This is why bounty campaign and project ICO have been leaved by some investor even most investor who aware against this scheme.

Even though they spend money to invest they will choose it as short term invesment which I think they choose a high risk.

You can see another project and I believe most of them will have a similarities. Even I can't differentiate a good and bad project anymore because most of them will dead eventually.

In fact, bounty participants are not guilty about the projects in the situations you mentioned. Generally, the only crime of the participants is that they are not doing research about the project they have participated in. In this case, the scam advertises the project and besides this, its efforts are wasted. Yes, if scam projects continue to occur in this way, maybe bounty campaigns may be affected in this case, but I definitely do not think it will end. On the other hand, for this reason, users may not participate in the campaigns, which means that the participation rate drops. Declining participation rates is both good and bad.

It doesn't seem to me like it's the end of bounties, what makes you believe the scam projects will stop(well it can if hunters stop advertising and investors stop investing for them)AFAIK they still get bounty hunters to advertise their projects, and investors to invest in their scam or shitcoin projects. They can't stop when it's still working for them. Use the search button to find the long list of ICO scam projects, and also search for threads users have complained of exit scams, fake volume, pump and dump, locked tokens etc, it's a very long list, but it didn't stop them from getting victims(because obviously they've been forewarned)so imo, it won't stop now.
It is not new with ico projects, it's as old as when 99% of ICOs turned scams.

Perhaps, it is the end for bounties, but I am sure that we will see another bounty in different type will launch. The form will be different than we know now, but the point will be the same, which is each project will want to get the investor to join with them. It's like a recycle from year to year, and it is always happening in the future, but for now, I guess the developer and the team try to figure out what is the next trend that can explode like the previous years.

If one project can succeed in these hard situations, the other project will use a similar method as they will try every possible way to make sure their project will succeed too. The bounty hunters need to be careful to select the project because there will be many scam project that will follow that way to get the investor money and run away.

not just the 3 projects that you mentioned but there are many more projects that ignore bounties and get nothing. selling in the beginning is the right choice than holding because most projects are full of crap

The price of such projects looks very attractive. But after the bounty ends, we need to wait at least 2-3 months to be able to receive tokens from them. And by then the price had dropped many times from the beginning and we only received shit tokens

we must be carefull to choose the right bounties,before we decide to join in the bounty program. good project will be stable in the market for a years,not only 2-3 month.
Or you can choose bounty program which gives payment through ethereum / bitcoin.

Sadly, it is true that they only used us to achieve their goals. And it is now seen in most of the cases. After do a lot of checking & research it's difficult to understand which projects are good & which are bad.

sad to see the current conditions, bounty Hunter used as bait to attract investors but most of them do not appreciate.

almost all new projects are never real, and usually end up in just a few months without trading volume.
does altcoin hype really cease to exist?

indeed at this time there are many fake projects that do IEO on several exchanges, they run the project very early and finally when the price is good they throw away all the tokens.
well this is very detrimental to the prize hunters who have struggled to promote to attract investors when the tokens have not been distributed the price is down

yes you are right, bounty programs usually run between 2-3 months. during that time we worked but when it came time we did not get a fair price.
so we have to be selective in choosing projects that we will work on.

Recently I saw many projects that became scams the same way. They were listed at the exchange and their prices were pretty great, but since they ran bounty the prices kept collapsing and the project was gradually dying. So I ask myself, what do they do it for ? There is clearly no benefit to them

This is a negative reality and I think that we cannot be saved from this. Now scammers have become very tricky and they are as smart as possible. I think that those projects that you have listed will be a great experience for people. And I also hope that the reputation of the bounty managers who carried out these projects will be destroyed

In my opinion, if the scam project continues to spawn with their new tricks by leaving the prize hunters or investors, it will have an impact on the development of crypto. because people will be increasingly disappointed, it is not even impossible that people will leave crypto. therefore there needs to be strict action against the scam project so that investors and prize hunters do not suffer losses.

That's why bounty participants mustn't have too much expectations with the bounties because whenever results not happen according to the expectations it really feels sad inside so it's necessary for bounty participants to mentally prepare themselves to accept any kind of results because nobody is forcing to participate in bounties it's all upto us.

I think bounty hunters who need to mentally prepare their projects participation will fail in the future. Although I saw a lot of bounty already listed at the exchange, but it still could not improve the situation. No bounty payments or heavily discounted token prices still occur

indeed crafty projects will have a surefire way to be able to cheat and find as many investors as they want. and after that they will forget and leave investors bounty unter without guilt ... so embarrassing I think huh ??

This had been going for so long and it is not a new scheme. A lot of bounties go like that, and sometimes they would even blame bounty hunters for the dump. Some projects lock-out team tokens for a certain period of time to make sure nobody on their end would dump their token,. I think this would somehow build confidence for the whole community.

Moreover Investors lost their money which means they lost their trust on investments like ICO that is why people who had enough expereince in the crypto field moved towards other kind of investments over the projects which are promoted by random members with no knowledge related to crypto currency.

if the bounty will end up like you said, then maybe the development for the blockchain is no longer there and has reached its maximum?
I don't think it's possible to promote through bounty, but there are other ways that might be more efficient in the future.

Now it is very much a scam project so that we as a bounty hunter feel always on the trick by the team who manages a project, and this continues to happen to this day and as if the bounty hunter is not priced when every project that runs bounty hunters plays a role in promoting a project but those teams do not assume the slightest, and we expect to go ahead there is a change

The development of blockchain is not related to bounty. Bounty only makes it easier for new projects to succeed. And if it cannot help new projects succeed, then bounty will be eliminated in the future

Spyce bounty got me good, I thought it was different from other scam projects, I never expect this type of results from bounties this year, I thought since the projects are trading it's safer, I've learnt another lesson here

in this case I think they already planned that before the project was launched. logically, if a developer wants to really develop their project according to the information in the project work map, the team also needs to look after it. without prize hunters, investors will not know what an ICO project is about.

Each time I remember the bounties that I have participated in and am yet to be rewarded for it, I get discourage about crypto.
I keep asking a question, when will all this end ''disregarding bounty hunters" in terms of payment.  

For scam project this isn't new tricks, I have been seeing this tricks for long time. For legit this is quite different, big project needs to pay different payment. In this case only high liquidity pool will help a project to protect price drop. Legit bounties rewards helps a project to increase volume and holders, so bounty promote can't dead.

Damn, I knew it! ITs not different not to all these tokens and I should believe this IQCASH as well will be one of the scam and they may do the same as what blockburn team did.  

It's hard to invest in a project at this time in crypto where BTC doesn't yet go up. So it's not really possible for a project to get funds.

Maybe it's just something that happens by chance because when there are still other projects that are really legit, at least it proves that there are still many projects that will grow and succeed in the future, this problem is a common problem so far and although the hunter is very selective to promote but still of course, they will still be trapped in a scam project which is basically difficult to get the difference between a scam project and legit and takes time to be able to express it.

This happens because it is difficult to distinguish which projects are actually paying and which are not. I once read a thread in this forum where it explained that moderator can make decisions about new projects that are present here, like every developer has to give their tokens to an Escrow if they want to make a Bounty campaign, so that Bounty Hunter really gets their rewards.

What made you think IQ Cash will do the same? If you say it and others try to reason along, it might save them the stress of promoting it too.
You will notice that so many projects are now coming in, perhaps because the bitcoin halving is near, which is now 10 days to this time and it is certain that just very few among them are legit. I think bounty hunters need thorough research at this time so that all our efforts and time spent in promoting projects will not prove abortive.

Fake project is everyehere around, it is difficult to differentiate between real project and scam project. I keep asking myself most of the time what is the benefit of bounty hunters.

Campaign fraud has long been happening in cryptocurrency, in this case, the bounty hunter is always a victim. Must be recognized, they make plans very well, so they are able to hypnotize bounty hunters and investors to join their project.
In the beginning everything went well, so that made bounty hunters very enthusiastic to promote their project, after the project ends, we as bounty hunters will never get paid, and they will disappear as if swallowed by the earth.

I still see some bounties that pay hunters, although somany developers have been refusing to pay hunters after advertising their projects for them , a few others still pay. the services of  Bounty hunters are is necessary for the publicity of new projects. so i do not think bounty will end as far as there are upcoming projects.   

I did IMO bounty then while stakes where still been  calculated and spreadsheet was locked, they already asked people to sell by distributing some tokens and use some fraudulent formula and later all stakes disappeared I knew they were mafia and won't last long plus their admin was brutish. I know some investors would have fallen for their deceit.

Yes, and the way it looks is not good, because the price of Spyce on the BW exchange will not last long and even now has experienced a dump of prices on the BW exchange and on probit, so those who follow the Spyce bounty will likely feel a loss of time.

very regretted many good projects but in the end ended up being a fraud. and I think scamers always have ways and various kinds of tricks to lure the victims. apart from that we must be more vigilant before joining the project in this forum.

This kind of scenario becomes the norm if you are one of those people who had been joining bounties all this time but they cannot be the reason for the Bounties to end. because since I join the bounty hunting last 2018 there is also some good project that has became successful throughout those years and there also this kind of bounties back then where they fooled people of their fake company or project but it didn't take the popularity of bounties as we can see today. we still have some good project and most of them are promoted by our trusted bounty managers.

You have no evidence for the allegation that the team from the project that made the price reduction, SPYCE, and Blockburn were not active on Twitter for March, and this slightly strengthens the allegations from the OP that the team from this project themselves dumped, but still we have no evidence.
We can make this an important lesson, before joining a campaign it would be good for you to do research first, such as checking whether their social media is active, the average duration of their new posts, projects that do not make posts in one week better avoided.

the bounties are slowly at the end of the line..mostly project that has bounties are scamming hunters.. its hard sometimes to move on because time and effort are invested here., they are paying hunters anymore

It's true only for those project which are just launched with the same concepts which are already exits in the crypto markets or by those people/teams who are just want to play the pump-dump events by creating fomo. But it's also true that there are a short number of good project which are doing well as a new startup and it's about 2 out of 10 projects. So, all of the bounty hunters should research first. At the beginning , i also do many projects which become scam one by the time passed.  :D

Even with bounty campaign a lot of project are still not making softcap not to talk of making the hardcap. It is really hard because investors are no more forthcoming in investing which also make it hard for some good project to survive and fulfill their promises to the bounty hunters. It is quiet difficult to know the prospect of any campaign now

Have the team not yet distributing the allocations for the bounty hunters of the SPYCE?  I thought the project was really good but there is no way of knowing this also because the team doesn't also update the thread whether what is going on to the project already. It's just unfortunate that all these bounty hunting must be stopped already if all these are happening to all campaigns. I haven't seen any successful IEO for years.

This is not over yet, and for Blockburn and Spyce I am not surprised because they are listed on the exchange which is not good, for imo itself they are smart because they make special token utilities to fool the bounty hunter and also apply a very long locking system (a year) and can be ascertained after waiting for a year the volume of tokens that their exchange will definitely be gone and also dumps are definitely happening, this can be a lesson and don't give up because I think there are still some good listed bounty projects in future.

Another topic to complain about bounties. I've already answered similar ones in a similar way.

Companies who launch scam bounties are to blame but hunters are the main reason they do it because you people will gobble up any story ad go work for anybody. They can offer you payment in unknown token saying it will get listed somewhere one day and you still accept it and keep on working.

The only way for this to stop is for you to start demanding payments in existing, listed coins and demand escrow.

it looks like the bounty campaign trend has begun to shift. in the past, we could see many campaigns paying with their coins but not yet registered in the exchange. but at the moment we can see that several projects that have been registered in the exchange are conducting campaigns. some pay with BTC but most pay using their existing coins in exchange.

that's why you must do a lot of analyzation before try to join in the bounty just like when you will get your payment, how long the duration of bounty and many more.
It will be a very difficult thing when you can try to deal with a complicated campaign and it's better for you to search the legit bounty.

You're wrong, bounty campaign still running at now and there are some projects popping up. Seem like the current situation has been prepared, can you remember 2017 ago has made a lot of bounty hunter got a lot of profit and for the developer as well? I hope you still remember it. Halving event is coming again ans this event has been considering will make cryptocurrency prices increased again and touch new all time high. Just forget the project that just have a low value because it depends on the developer, that must be prepared is find the project that has a good team and has an experience of this field.

Bounty isn't just on the projects that holding ICO and IEO. Try to look at those active platforms like the one in my signature, Hybrix.

Their tokens aren't traded in the market today but already years in development. I decided to join because they were able to follow their plan and upgrade into something much better. Might be a risk as I don't know when it will be listed but compare to other bounty programs here, this is worth taking a shot.

Not just it, the platform itself is already live and can be used. A decentralized wallet and not just focus on their token.

But in general, there is still a legit company there. Unlike before that every bounty is hype so need to research, it's time now to put some time analyzing the project.

Everyone is aware of the latest market situation and the lockdown, so expecting the same results from the bounty campaigns will be naivish act. There was a profitable year when both team and bounty hunters made good money but now the CEOs fire the devs because of the insufficient funds.
Profit chasers group of bounty hunters have to be careful in the bad market performance days because the result will be surprising in terms of bounty distribution. Frozen airdrops and delayed distribution will not get fixed until the alt season.

That was in 2017, the thing seems to be different now. In fact, there are only few projects that now bring profit to bounty hunters. Bounty hunting now seems to be a lucky game. Even with your research, you cannot be too sure you will get meaningful reward.
Also, there are some projects that ordinarily are good, but when it comes to rewarding bounty hunters, it's a flop.

This is commonplace when a project team tricks its bounty hunters. There is nothing surprising. A very small part of the projects is ready to pay and that is why bounty companies are becoming obsolete.

I don't know, I'm quite doubtful about recent trends. Many are vague, it could be that the project is good but because of the crisis and unfavourable market conditions, the development is not as expected. This has an impact on the bounty campaign, it could be an extended campaign, distribution and listing postponed, and other consequences that make the campaign full of drama.

Blockburn, the bounty team promises distribution in the next three months. If it is obeyed then it doesn't matter, but if it is extended again it will be very disappointing. Though this project was initially very promising and seemed fine, that is why many were interested. IMO, I feel full of tricks, and it turns out that the rewards distributed must be used to buy IEO on their platform, and that too is locked, it takes one year to open all, LOL. SPYCE, what's wrong? the product is good, I think when the market is conducive and the crisis is over there will be a good movement

At present, it is very difficult to find a bounty campaign that is truly legit. My advice, so as not to get too hurt, lower your expectations, understand it's all full of risks. Be an educated bounty hunter.

you mean they are becoming outdated? Well, it is as if that is true because things are not like it used to be.
The value placed on the bounty is gradually reducing and many do not see it as something serious again. We, bounty hunters, need to come up with same voice and together chose what we should promote. in fact, rewards should be escrowed for there to be a lasting solution.

I have not been surprised because since 2018. I have felt there is a slight difference in the campaigns of many projects that are scam and do not pay up to a very massive allocation reduction, 2017-2018 a lot of allocations have been dissipated for bounties, and from 2018 until now the reduction has continued happened and now many projects are only allocating <$ 100 K and if there is more I will bet they will definitely do a cut, but if the bounty ends I have no problem because there is no way the crypto bounty campaign will last forever.

It's not the end of Bounties, let's just call it the end of worthy Bounties
This days project dumps their tokens when its time to pay bounty hunters making the pay worse than peanuts
Some projects even go further to lock the project's before exit scamming.

Just choose the best, and you can have some chances

Because of the flooded scam projects we can tell that this is the end of the bounty program? Not really because we know that some projects are still worthy of our trust and particularly from investors. If they'll show that they can be trusted, a lot of people will give their support. Many we're still participating bounties because they could still make money from it and they are seems not hopeless with. And for the reason why some members claiming that they don't get paid or being scammed because they probably blinded by big rewards and don't make any research before participating

Too generalizing views is not good, it can eliminate our chance to find projects that are truly legit. Although many campaigns end in drama, there are still many bounty campaigns that truly provide guaranteed rewards, such as the signature you use, being one of the best choices for joining bounties that give BTC rewards. Especially those handled by trusted managers such as Hhampuz, Yahoo, etc. Of course the competition is fierce, it must really meet the specified qualification standards.

I don't think so, it's too early to make such calls. I agree with you that bounties are down off late but I think it's due to the how the crypto market has gone down a bit. Once this pandemic ends and business starts to kick in motion I believe we may see a new wave of bounty promotion though it will definitely not be like the days of 2016 and 2017 where there were a lot of them to earn from.

i agree with the opinion, it will indeed not be the same as a few years ago. i think this year will be a little different, maybe this year there will be lots of good bounties that will benefit us. yeah it will still be difficult to find a project that is really real.

but i believe, that this year will be better than last year.

No it's not. I think there are only to be few bounty projects that are promising and successful in the futur, but not the end for bounties because there are so many upcoming projects that to be handled by some trusted bounty managers and still make a bounty team to be successful in the long run.

This is not new thing. Over few years this has been the strategy of many projects whose goal are to scam people. I just thinking why these exchanges tolerate these projects. Do they not review first an applicant to their exchange before listing. This is important cause certain project might be own by scammers. If they gonna list on exchange make sure that investors are dealing with real one and not just a scammer.

I did joined on MiracleTele bounty and the payment was really good. The worse part is this project has exit scam and many investors lose their money. I pity them, though I did not expect any of it to happen. But good thing I sell it when the price is increasing already.

Lesson here is just dump whatever tokens you get from bounty so you would not be a loser. Dont hold it and sell, buy bitcoin or eth and keep it.

That's only for the crap projects but when it comes to the trusted projects and the price of token will not have a lot of difference consider about it can maintain the demand and that makes the volume are still a lot in the market. You must know the differences and OP was judging the future of bounty without seeing whole of projects.

With me, no bounty project is really promising in the future. Most of those campaigns and projects will die in the future because the project is not working seriously, I've been in this market since 2017 and I haven't seen any project running bounty and succeeding in long-term

Obviously, there are a lot of scam projects that are still popping around the crypto market. It is not yet the end for them but let us face the truth, bounties isn't as good and is not as profitable nowadays compared before. The reputation is kinda low and those projects that are able to stand for years remained picked by most of the investors and not with the new ones.
 
 Well, i do hope we can change bounty project's style so we can go back the way we trust them like before. You see, it is really hard to fully entrust new bounty projects nowadays even they have strong team and objectives.

We are facing the same difficulties as at the end of 2018, all the projects I participated in were scams. The problem is that we're too easy to get into any project without analyzing it. For projects that extend the distribution process or divide it into batches, we should out. Previously I participated in the Beaxy exchange project, they divided the reward into 4 times and split it equally for 1 year. Every time we receive a reward, we have to KYC or do whatever they order. This really pisses me off. We should choose reputable bounty managers to collaborate with them. Until now, I feel Wapinter is one of the best bounty managers, you can participate in his campaign without fear of being scammed.

What about projects that have been IEO at Binance? As far as I remember they have done bounty in the past and now their project has become huge, even it is in the top 100 altcoin in this market.

ONE is a typical failure. We have had two bounty projects, ONE (Harmony) and CTSI (Cartesi). both have IEO in Binance and have 1 thing that is very little pool! after x5 and x8 those tokens were sold off and ONE seemed to return to the price of IEO. CTSI had a great start with x7 times the value but its price is decreasing.
What I want to say here is that it's all distributed in batches. and when the distribution period lasts so long, the price will decrease and even lower than the price of IEO in the future. so I also listed these types of bounty campaigns on the black list!

I think they hold assets for the bounty hunter a few months after they made a sale. for example like spyce. before starting the bounty, they write the rules "distribution 3 months after IEO", so you have to wait for it. but somehow the development of their tokens in the market is not so good. I don't think there has been any broader development regarding that. however, we don't know whether they paid or not when the promised day arrived. besides, long ago, bounty rules were always like this to avoid prices that fell after IEO ended.

These has been happened a couple of years since 2018 dude, and real talk majority of the project campaign so far are not
good to join, of course since they are just starting it they will say sweet words as much as they can, just for the sake the community
will help them to promote their project campaign then once they've collect a lot of fund their true color's will reveal for sure.

People lost much money on that IMO platform, every projects that raise hardfork completely later turned scam, even their very own IMO token is now 70% down from normal value, teams are dumping hard on people

The year is not over yet, many complained about Bounties in 2019 and still ends with good results, it's better to keep trying than doing nothing just for that fact that we have too many fake bounties on here

I Don't think the bounty time end,  since two year we are passing bad time in crypto industry so many ico Couldn't success thats why bounty participants couldn’t get payment but now slowly crypto market liquidity increase. So we can tell investors again like to invest in crypto as well as they invest in icos so icos will be successful and also bounty participants get payment.
So we can tell its not the end of bounty.           

optimism must continue to be built that the bounty is not over and will return to its former glory. time goes on and chances are it can continue to happen, compared to us not doing anything as you think.
early in 2020 many bounties have ended with a positive direction, can be completed on time and pay according to the agreement and nothing is harmed. But the pandemic has stalled Bouty but the optimism is still there, because they need additional time to delay until the pandemic can be controlled. sure bounty will be able to succeed again and we must support it.

Oh yeah, Spyce scammed? This is very bad and discouraging. And the bounty reward is even yet to be distributed to hunters. Hunters are being taken for a ride here. We are used and dumped like their worthless projects. However, I know very soon all this bounty scams will be checked and controlled just like we have with ICOs now. Nobody like to do ICOs anymore. My advice to fellow hunters is never to take part in any bounty that exceeds 8 weeks.

It seems like most projects now only launch IEO whose exchanges have a bad reputation, maybe that is one scenario for a project to end in a scam. It seems like Blockburn already has a plan to manipulate its income when IEO is launched, because it makes no sense when trading pairs have been released but the trading volume is very small even though I remember their tokens were sold out in just days.

Until now there has been no valid information that says SPYCE is a scam project. We have to ask the OP back where he got the information ...?
Spyce initially proceeded normally, and the bounty hunter was very enthusiastic to promote the project. If Spyce is really a scam, then the more suffering that bounty hunters get from con artists who are increasingly growing in the cryptocurrency world.

Not a bit of time and money spent by prize hunters to help promote their goals to be valuable, known and recognized in terms of exchanges.
This is not a complaint. Please open your heart and eyes to those who have helped you.

One question. Is it worth it !!

It's understandable that there are several irregularities in the cryptocurrency space and bounties are not left out. The issue of bounty hunters getting cheated by project owners and bounty managers is rather unfortunate. I only wish that something could be done to rectify this anomaly and give bounty hunters the requisite zeal to continue in the industry.

The end will come only when the cryptocurrency disappears. I think that generosity will always be. It all depends on development. Now the crisis has become a little more complicated. But soon everything will be the same as before.

I can reccommend to believe only in bounties that already listed and not on shitty noname exchange with 1btc volume

That's true. It looks like OP is a new participant in the bounty. There was also a bunch of good bounties have already come and so many people have been joining in these bounties too.

OP must believe if everything will be fine as long as he can do a good research

And we know that cryptocurrencies are here to stay, they will not disappear. There are good bounties now, I think I participate in a good one now! Times are hard now, but before we had similar topics and people who thought that bounties will end, but that didn't happen until now, and I believe that will not happen in the future, there will be new projects and they will need to have marketing!

It is rare to see such project nowadays. Most of the projects have no desire to become successful and list their coins on popular exchange.
Even those project that already listed their coin in an exchange just like OP stated, they most likely dump the price of their coin to the bottom, they enjoy themselves with the money they got and left bounty hunters to receive nothing.

It seems that the exchange they choose to launch their compared haven't kind of investors with. The bad reputation of the exchange makes the token dump and result to another scam project. They should launched in some trusted exchange to help them promote seriously and effectively. Another reason is that the amount of scam projects are very high and because of this, some investors consider the good projects are scam. I think it's really hard to trust projects nowadays.

Such strategy to exit is not new anymore, scammers are doing that even before. Only bounty hunters and the investors are left for nothing and most affected, hunters for advertising and exerting an effort to do the task and the investors for using their capital then end up giving away their money to scammers.

Well despite this I believe bounties would not end. Yes the majority of projects are scam or dont have concrete concept to say its legit but there are also projects that is genuine. Its just that its hard to spot the good one to a scam.

For me i think that there is still some bounties that offers a good competitive amount but only because of the bad market this bounties becomes useless as the coin or the tokens are being dump after listing in the exchanges. We as bounty hunters should pick a reputable bounty that has more likely to succeed especially the reputable people who is willing to give the bounty to its hardworking participants.

as long as digital currencies still exist there will still be a bounty campaign but for the allocation of the bounty campaign I think it is very small because there are indeed many people who do not like cryptocurrency so that few are interested in cryptocurrency, different when cryptocurrency still has a good name then many people will using cryptocurrency for transactions and making many campaigns in circulation.

I also only trust projects that have been listed at exchanges, they are much safer than new and unlisted projects. But sometimes the projects listed also become scams, just like the Blockburn project

Not just three projects because there many projects still available no volume and day by day run for death. Do you have mention only three projects and maybe you was participating in this project. Overview, there developing roadmap not promising so you can sold out your coins and look others project.
Otherwise never should be depends death coins so not care and go take others project it'll probably better.

The project can still scam you, having the coin listed on a exchange doesn't mean they are trusted, they can still turn their back against bounty hunter and continue developing their project as usual.

It is not news again that dev and team want bounty hunters to go empty handed and most of them are ready to do whatever it will take to achieve that. We just need to be wise about taking part in bounty campaign.

I've never have luck with trading bounty tokens once and I've promoted many of them, they end up not sending out tokens to bounty participants after bounty is over or the project turn pump and dump before you receive your tokens that now worth penny, choose carefully and most importantly you are always on your own

You are on point. they do not care. All they know is to know how to use bounty hunters for the promotion of their projects and after they might have dumped what they have and there is no more buy order, even if there is buy order, selling might be a useless thing. Imagine you being paid an after selling, it is not more than $5. Even if you get such amount you should be thankful.

this is a problem of the market for new projects. It's not about whether you are a participant of the bounty campaign or not. new projects is listing on exchanges and their price dump dozens of times. These sad statistics disturb not only bounty hunters but also many investors

I'm so really disappointed when the team sold their own tokens after listed in exchange, they really don't care the hunters and investors. Well that's their trick to make money easily. There's nothing we can do let's just move on and find a good bounty hoping the team will not scam us.

I really understand your feeling right now about bounties that are always scams and don't pay bounty hunters, and that was experienced a few years ago, and of course the risks we have to face, the role of bounty managers is also very important, if you want to follow bounty make sure you follow the good bounty manager

How do you know which team has sold their tokens? There are many reasons for tokens to crash, and one of the most common reasons is that they don't have a volume. If they list at a good exchange then I believe this situation will never happen

maybe he can see from etherscan or just guess because there is no good progress, the developers can also take away the money or funds that have been collected, basically when a project does not have a good development anymore they have no plans to support the project and no matter the price of the coin at the exchange place.

I think he only saw the price of the token crash, and then he thought that the price was collapsed by the team. It is a bullshit, there are many reasons for the price to collapse and I believe the team does not want the price to collapse like that.

Well i was joined IMO signature campaign and i just know that IMO is a scam. It makes me sad  :( I dont really active and browse about that information. I think i need to start forget about IMO and delete the app. Well another bad day for me.

Not only do we get dumped on, we most times do not get payments for services rendered and most times these campaigns are not worth the efforts we put in. Changing the game for hunters will make a difference than what we see presently. Most projects do not make it to any exchnage before dying off. Hunters are always on the lose end.

Sounds true. And it is really really unfortunate. I participated in the IMO bounty and was really sad when at the end of the bounty they brought in strategies that really left bounty hunters with almost nothing but nevertheless, i still believe that there are good ones out there, but will be difficult in sourcing them out though. But anyways we keep trying maybe one day we will smile home for what it's worth

New projects and new coins are like that, especially if the tokens are listed on an exchange that does not have a good volume, and the bounty hunter is always blamed for DUMP, but please don't give up this is not the end of the bounty

I am really shocked by seeing the Spyce movements! It looked another great project for me! They were listed on BW exchange when they launched the bounty campaign! Everything in Spyce was positive, they already have live products called Osiris browser! But what happened then? No more volume in exchanges, the telegram group, twitter profile totally silent! No talks about bounty payment, no further development! Though I did not join in that bounty, but I researched well about that project! I have no idea about IMO! But for Blockburn, I can say they are scam or dishonest people of the year!

This year bounty is not doing well, that's why I was far away from bounties! I haven't seen any project that paid to its hunters except HEX! Hex was exceptional because they had scam behaviours, so most of the hunters ignored their bounty campaign! However, giving up on bounties is not the solution, as you are in quarantine now, then start doing potential bounties, soon or later, the situation will be changed! There will be some project that will pay you well like the HEX campaign!

Every new day it's getting more difficult for unserious and unreal projects. Their next move is to plan how to exit. Following a vision to completion is a very great task. Amidst all this there are still good projects but are just scarce.

indeed the bounty campaign is no longer a program that can benefit developers because they see the potential of the bounty campaign has declined over time as many rich people have been disappointed with cryptocurrency and are no longer interested in cryptocurrency.

Maybe some but not all. I still believe that many people are still giving their support in the new projects but they are just quite picky enough to choose the reliable one and so they could never fall into the hands of scammers.

The bounty program is another way to promote their platform, there is no way to stop this either. We have this forum for market presentation and as long as there are new projects coming they will still making use of this program until such time that it won't give any positive results.

Fake projects are the main reason why investors are not investing more compared to previous years. It's so difficult for bounty hunters to dictate their trickish plan of use and dumping them after attracting investors. Inasmuch I know, the good project are still there but the volatility of the market is affecting them all to skyrocket

It's really hard to predict now those legit projects because most of the scammed projects today have seemed to be very legit in the beginning but suddenly turned into a scam in the end. Investors and bounty hunters are very much affected  because they are left with nothing in the end. But i believe that as this scammed projects continue, invetors and bounty hunters are becoming more wiser today to chose those good projects from those bad ones.

Knowing projects that will succeed from instance is hard kind of, some good ones starts well and along the line went rogue. Some are willing to be transparent but funding fail them. Keeping a good coin sustained at market requires funds. If people are not willing to buy and well the coin the trade volume drops.

The only project that pays in 2020 so far is still HEX bounty, they get paid and are able to sell their tokens, we have too many scam bounties but some will still be worth it, now you have to be willing to waste your energy and time while finding the project that will work out, it's going to be tough

ye I know there are many reason why the price is collapse but it is not right if the team dump their own token especially if they are new just like storichain that i joined the campaign in the last year, it dumped when about to end the bounty and now the blockburn, why is that?

Expect many disappointments from bounties, sorry to say it's how bounty hunting space works since 2018, to make good profits from bounties do not rely on anyone that youve promoted successful, keep finding quality projects and keep promoting while you can, for every disappointments is a blessing, yes, it's real

Even if you don't rely on anyone, finding quality projects looks like impossible nowadays. There's a lot of good to be true projects, they will show good progress of the project and they will do anything to look like a legit project but when the time that they got the money they collected into their hands, the project will disappear.

Only a handful of bounty programs are actually paying good now that are above ICO/IEO price and decent buy/sell trading volume. Just like you guys, I almost gave up hope in airdrops and bounty programs. The glory days of 2017 are not going to repeat, even when Bitcoin halving or altcoin season comes.

There are many reasons of failed ICOs/IEOs due to no more funds, shady tactics, zero to very less trading volume, trading below ICO/IEO price, extending of bounty programs and delaying of receiving rewards.

There’s one bounty program that I joined which they say that the distribution of rewards is 6 months after IEO. Now they have 2 months left of keeping that promise. However, before that happen, I doubt they would slowly gonna turn into exit scam because of outdated website and social media channels. Trading volumes in the exchanges they’ve listed suddenly dropped from zero to a few hundred dollars of volume. To me, I don’t expect them to keep their promise.

However, days ago, there’s a bounty program which I did compesated fair and square. Despite that they distributed in January, the price wasn’t right yet until days ago, the price doubled and the trading volume was decent. I sold my tokens and put the sell order. I waited for a few days until my order was filled.

To me, bounty programs are not yet over. We just have to do our homework first by looking at their roadmap, past and present accomplishments, team activities, transparency reports, etc. 

This is common already for most of the new projects.
This is the sequence or the cycle.
-A new project is born and will be advertised here.
-They will launch a bounty campaign where bounty hunters will be paid as they advertise the project thru different ways.
-After the campaign, there are some options that most of the teams are doing. They will distribute the tokens but will be locked until such time it is tradable already. They will make some spoils and will distribute the rewards of the bounty hunters after some months. This is the worst scenario. Some of the projects don't want to pay the bounty hunters until they list it on an exchange and then after that they will dump it.

If you are saying that this is a new trick then definitely you are new to the world of bounty hunting.

This kind of "trick" you are saying is already here for a long time. Many projects in the past are doing this kind of thing. Listing the token into an exchange were the developers and the investors will dump the coin and will be a dead coin after few weeks.

This is the reason why I stopped bounty hunting already. Most of the rewards that I get either doesn't have a price (not listed on an exchange) or it is listed on an exchange but your trade will not be liquidated because there aren't have volume in it so it is still useless.

You can say anything bad about the bounty. Still, I object if you say it is the final sign of the bounty, don't force yourself to follow the low potential bounties and then you are disappointed because they avoid what you expect, it's better to join 1 honest campaign than 10 scammer campaign.

If ICO's are no longer paying find something else to promote. ICO's promised a whole new way raise money for projects but they had a fatal flaw. They placed large sums of money in the hands of people who could choose to spend it prudently developing their project or just they could just blow it, or even worse just run away with all cash. The whole point of crypto was to take decisions about how your money is treated away from the hands of other people and placing your trust in code.

It looks like he has a very bad experience with his last campaign. he was blaming bounty without known about the fact that happened with the bounties. In the bounty campaign has a lot of scam bounties but at the same time when we can do a proper research and we can find a lot of legit campaigns too.

It's really sad.For every hunter. I think for the success of a project.Many work harder.Any good project has a small payment for the Hunters.I don't think they should be fooled.

Bounty hunters must be careful when making choices to participate in a bounty, now there are so many bounty scams in circulation, and unfortunately we cannot be certain that the bounty is a scam or real. Now it's very difficult to find a good bounty like in 2017. But rest assured, among the many bounty scams there must be diamonds stored.

Quit complaining about bounties, if you are willing to give up just do it, saying it's the end won't change anything, those who are really fed up have left this forum already, two friends who introduced me to this forum have left too, if the time comes I might end up leaving too but now is not the time

I'm still new on here but I figured out that bounty managers are very important if you really want to get paid after the end of a bounty campaign, if bounty ends for others because many projects are scams what about newbie like myself? I don't tend to give up

As far as I know, bounty managers will only do their job, whereas when many scam bounty campaigns are not the fault of the bounty managers, it is purely the fault of the project developers who do not carry out the mandate and certainly it will only make the project worse. and made many participants disappointed.

If the good bounty returns like 2017, then I believe your friend will come back. And many others will return to this market. And I agree with you not to complain about bounty, as long as we try and work hard, I believe we still find good projects.

Once upon a time... I was also a bounty hunter. So I can understand the sentiment. But at the same time, you can't escape from the responsibility. After so many campaigns in which the bounty hunters went unpaid, I would have expected them to be more careful with the ones in which they are participating. But even now, I find a lot of the bounty hunters registering for bounties which have very exploitative terms.

Bounties will never end as long as there is bounty hunters. There are people who are willing to share you on their facebook group, their twitter, retweet you, like your tweet, put it on their instagram, talk about you here, have your signature here, post photos for you and do all kinds of stuff for meezly 5 bucks, all because that 5 bucks is given with that new project so it could be 5 cents in a year or 5 grand, they don't know so neither do you nor the project owner, so those bounty hunters take a risk with the project.

As long as that type of approach of "maybe one day it will worth all of this" continues, and people do not focus on what they are getting at that moment, we are going to just keep seeing more and more bounties pop up everywhere.

Yes, now there are many new bounty with very exploitative terms. They require bounty hunters to work a lot, but offer a very low budget. Truly unworthy of the job the bounty hunter did

Maximum team don't care the bounty hunters payment after the long work end of the hunters. When the bounty is about to end or end, then they pretend to give payment like payment will be given in 12 installment like Tokoin, 100% to complete with in June 2022 like Okschain and few projects become unseen after bounty end.

I feel the same way. however, for projects in the same class as SPYCE or Blockburn, it is proven that not all projects that already have a good market. however, choosing carefully is very much emphasized to avoid things like this. however, I still feel that the two projects are pretty good, it's just that the system they created can make them lose trust in their supporters.

This is not new and these new coins are just a few of them, in the past they have done that also, projects only distributed coins after the team dumped their shares before distributing and developers leaving the project, bounty hunting are now in a sorry state, there are good projects coming along but they have a hard time of getting a lot of promoters because of distrust.

Should we ever think that 2017 will happen again? When ICO projects and bounty hunters gain a lot of money? It was just a dream at all because to tell everyone, there is no coming back...either we like it or not the market will soon change and that is what we feel today.
But even we saw a lot of scam projects, ICO/IEO failures but I wasn't thinking we put this thing to an end. Not for sure, unless we can never find good things around in crypto. If we are giving care to our community, we can eliminate this scam projects and put it ends, not the market itself.

not only will the end be more difficult to choose, I see people who post on the bounty thread are still many, so this indicates that the bounty is still running but it will be difficult to find who will pay you.
Some projects do promotions when they have listed on this market as a guarantee that they will pay the hunter.

Actually there are still some good bounties to join, we just need to search for it carefully.
Scam projects that running bounty campaigns are worst, because they scam 2 kind of peoples, their investors and their supporters.

it is more difficult to choose which bounty to join nowadays. Compared to how it was around 2016-2017, bounties are generous and most only last for about a month without extension, which guarantees listing. Some even gave generous amount of tokens and gave a lot of profits to participants. Unlike today, there are a lot of scam projects, some would not even pay participants and majority  are scam.

That's the right thought - there are good ones, but surely enough you gotta be accurate.
referring to OP - I don't believe it is the end for bounties, but they are dying slowly.
They can be called as dead when no one will make a thread because of it

There are still some legit bounties but do not expect that the payment will be huge like what happened on 2017 where most of the bounties are profitable. For me participating is now a waste of time, I now focusing to improve my profession which is day trading and for me there are many opportunities in trading than finding or joining in bounty campaigns. There are still people who are bounty hunters but it is really a gamble for them especially if they are just hyping their selves about the success of the project.

Just by participating in the campaigns listed at the exchange, I believe we will get some money from them without fear of them becoming scams. Do not join the bounty of new projects because it is too risky, if the project fails then we certainly will not receive tokens from them.

SPYCE was already listed on BW exchange, they did a mini token launch, I really didn't get the idea of another for token launch,many bounties are becoming worthless because a lot of projects are cannot successfully raise cash for implementation. For the very few which are successful, many have shitty team who eventually dump tokens on exchange before they share to bounty hunters

It doesn't look like it's the end to me, some projects have disappoint me already but this is not enough for me to give up, this won't stop few bounty projects to still pay hunters good result, to me no retreat no surrender is the path to bounty success

For some projects, a bounty campaign is needed to advertise and attract the audience to the project. Indeed, now there are very few ICOs that give bounty hunters money, even if you receive tokens, you can wait a year or more before entering the exchange.

Scammers has the capacity to do everything just to make money from investments.

There are some cases that they are spending too much money just to be listed in exchange so the project will look legit but right after that and the investors starts to enter and put money,these scammers will run away and take all the funds gathers by the project.

And after that they will regroup and create new projects again just like what they did in the last victims.

These are organized syndicate and cannot be stop.

I honestly understand your plight,reason being that I also participated in some of these bounties you name that are yet to pay hunters but I think that shouldn't weigh you down as there are some that as paid hugely,so just believe there is hope for bounty hunters, it's not the end yet.

It's too much to ask. The bounty hunters need to wait for one year, just to encash their $10 or $20 worth of reward? That's very unfair and unethical. A far better idea would be to give a small part of the bounty (maybe 10% or even 20%) as immediate payment in the form of Bitcoin or Ethereum. But as we know, the promoters are hell bent against this idea.

If the project allocates a bounty at a fee of BTC and ETH then it must be with initial capital while the project is now on average to raise funds so it is unlikely that it will be done on the toolcoin project, except for gambling then their campaigns are always paid for with bitcoin.

Yes indeed the new hope is clearly still there for the hunters, just sometimes have to wait a long time for a payment, because now almost all Altcoin campaigns are always late paying Bounty hunters, things like that are what sometimes makes everything saturated.

I don't think it will end just like that, where these new projects going to get promoters, it's not even cost them anything totally free because they are paying with their token which will only have value when it hit the market, so as long as there are new projects that wants promotion, there will always bounty campaign.

And indeed it is like the current project for promoters only relies on hunters to carry out extensive promotions because that's what I see in every project.
When a new project is launched, the bounty will be the same and it will be brought together because they know this method is effective in attracting investors.

yeah, it should not be your primary job, but it is unethical from bounty announcement team to skip the rewarding, or delay it indefinitely, on the other hand, it is risky industry, so do a bit of analysis prior to joining bounties, at this point it seems the bounties are simply not worth it

We all know that have so many scam bounties running in bounty altcoins but its not the end for the bounties. Actually I find some trusted bounties also as of now and many bounty hunters trying to participate on it. And we can aware for those scam bounties we have a time to checked or read about them information. In this month Ive seen good bounties already and maybe they are some trusted bounties also coming.

There is no doubt, Every word you have said is universal truth.  
Bounty hunters work so hard for promoting campaign but at the end, they receive nothing but red trust for promoting scam iceo/IEOs. Some are good but don't be hold for long. well before joining bounty, have to analysis attentively. Same rules should be followed by bounty managers. But it's not the end cause still There are few good bounty available...

this has been going on for a very long time now It didnt just start now.. I  can clearly remember quite a few project that has done this.. some wong even bother to pay their hunters theyll just proceed with dumping their bag and playing the exit scam game..  cryptocurrency is still a long way from having good regulations

I also see that there are some potential projects, and I do research sometimes through the market. sometimes the bounties that really pay are bounties that already have large and many markets, like IQ.Cash, I'm pretty sure that this program will pay for the participants. However, I hope there will be many bounty programs like this in the future.

Yes and this trick was even put the blame to the bounty hunters.

After the team dumps their coin, they leave bounty hunters behind with useless/valueless rewards. It has been a cycle even before where bounty campaigns become popular and project developers took advantage of that because they can collect huge money.

Bounty campaigns and hunters are gone old now,there are only several projects that is paying truthfully but majority are scammers and we cannot bring back the old days .

In past,we can even earn amount that much more than our monthly salary in real work but these days/
we can only count in our fingers the legitimate one and most are scammers.

maybe this is the time that people stops supporting these scammers and not Helping them to advertise their project.

You should only stop bounty hunting when no single bounty project paid through out a year, this year so far only HEX bounty paid hunters successfully and Cartesi will too, ixinium paid wonder but that's 2019 bounty project, it's way too early to judge right now, get busy

so you hope that if a project that has a lot of exchanges will do a bounty? it won't be because only a few projects that will do that might be the same as 1:10
I also see IQ only has an allocation of around 3 ETH if looking at current prices

This is the reason why it is better to stick in btc or eth paying campaigns under reputable managers. Because you have assurance that you will get paid. Even if it is small as compared to others or from what you expect, at least you know at the end of the week, you have satoshis in your wallet. Most token paying campaigns will really cause you headache. Either they will pay late or once they paid, the value is not anywhere near from the promised value.

Yeah mate, undoubtedly you say the Truth. I think about 80-85% ico, IEO & coins/tokens are scam. Nowadays people lost theirs hope and they doesn't have any interest to investment fund with any icos or iceos. Many real projects are got unsuccessful owing to that reason. That's why, It seems like bounties are come to end >:(

I'm new to bounties but I can see through research that few projects have paid already this year, why are you this quick to judge? Hex bounty project paid participants good rewards, also Cartesi was successful and very soon bounty hunters will be paid, it's true that few projects are real and many are fake but I think it's still worth giving a try I think.

Yes , I was fedup with those typt of bounties . i participated for 100+ bounty campaigns , But Now i have nothing ,Its a wasting of our time only .

Your account is newbie with 25 activities, I'm wondering how you managed to promote 100+ bounties with your account, I haven't even seen someone on here who promoted 100+ bounties and all failed, that's impossible, sounds like you are just spamming on here, be very careful

You are more concerned with quantity than quality, change your mindset, do a little research before registering on the bounty campaign, and don't register on social media campaigns because it will only waste your time, you better register on article campaigns or blog and signature campaigns.

I still remember some of the projects you mentioned above that I even wanted to join at the time. and it turns out that the latest news about the project above ended in fraud and many bounty hunters are disappointed after promoting a project that looks promising.

Such is the fact that exists today. Regardless of whether it is a planned bad scenario or not, we clearly know that market conditions are not good. We support because the project initially looked promising, but after some time has passed the development was not as expected. That is the risk. Being a bounty hunter now is not easy. Do not expect too high, or we will only end in disappointment. The campaign you mentioned at first seemed promising, and now Blockburn is still delaying distribution and has not fully ended disappointing, while IMO is still locking up rewards and can only be opened no more than 1% per day, we just wait for further developments.

It seems that exchange sites they choose will fail them. They must choose the right exchange site which they about to be listed. Some traders and also bounty hunters really don't want to get trade their coin in there because of low reputation and few traders. We didn't really expect why this happened. Its another bad reputation for altcoin new release project and we must just always be careful and don't expect too much for new bounty project.

Yes, this is the end of bounties. Because many ICO and IEO is only scam and have very low value token, it very not worth to join bounties and earn few bucks only. You only wasting your time for promoting scam coins/tokens.

If we have knowledge in this market then I believe we will see it and stay away because IMO is a scam model. in fact they don't care about bounty hunters. The price of such projects looks very attractive. But after the bonus is over, we cannot receive tokens from them

I agree with you. Most of the bounty projects in 2017 would have been successful, there was no need to extend their time. Bounty hunters would get their rewards right away and investors would also benefit. Nowadays most of the projects are being scammed. Although some projects are successful by extending the time, they do not give tokens to bounty hunters at the right time. This is increasing the reluctance of the participants towards the bounty project.

There are so many complaints about these projects, there are so many projects like that in the past and so many projects will come out, and bounty hunters will always caught by surprised, it's right that bounty hunters and investors should report if they notice something unusual about the project than caught later by surprise.

It's not the end for bounties, some projects are just taking advantage of bounty hunters is all, scam projects still exist for sure but it's not the only danger awaiting bounty hunters today,

1. Becareful of projects that are listed with low volumes on exchanges

2. I'd rather promote projects that have high trading volume or not trading at all

3. Research is simply not enough but still possible to detect scam projects

Where can generosity go? People help develop projects. Everyone needs advertising to attract investors. So I don’t understand how to refuse advertising.

as long as there is crypto then as you say is the truth, that this is not the end for a bounties. although we believe for the past few years many fraudulent projects carried out by a handful of people who want to quickly benefit for a moment. we do not deny it, but there are still many that are good and can finish well.
actually this year is the revival of crypto, many good projects and it works well. unfortunately in the middle there is a covid corona pandemic that is somewhat disturbing some projects have to extend the time so as not to be a scam. but it is sure this year is the era of crypto revival.

for that we must be more careful in determining the bounty and do not think if this is the end of the bounty. because there are still many bounties that pay bounty participants

I'm getting tired of risks surrounding bounty projects since 2019, there are too many ways to scam or cheat bounty hunters nowadays, research is not even doing enough like before, now it's all about getting lucky, but still I don't have the nerve to give up on bounties, no matter how careful we are scammers will still cheat bounty hunters, failed projects for far this year that I promoted are

1. Blockburn
2. Spyce
3. IQ Cash

The reason why I added IQ Cash is because the price have dropped alot and now team are planning second round of campaign, still doesn't make sense

True, and bounty will not end because crowdsale always need people who promote their project.
Therefore, if there is a crowdsale, may it be on ICO or IEO, they still need the service of the bounty hunters, and the success of the project could also depend on the timing of the market situation, if like now, the success rate is very low so bounty hunters are not making enough money unlike before.

Bounty and Airdrop will always be there, because it is one of the best marketing strategies of a cryptocurrency project to add to their community, trust that the bounty and airdrop will always be alive

Bounties today is all about making profit or making loss, if you aren't up for this you should leave now, I believe those who still join bounties have a better understanding of bounties outcomes, I'm ready to gamble that's why I still join projects and it doesn't mean I will keep failing Everytime

Of course, bounty and airdrop will always exist because this is the simplest and fastest way to promote their project, and build a community to support their project. If the bounty and airdrop die, I believe new projects will die in silence

I am surprised that even now a lot of users are taking part in these bounty campaigns. And this is also one of the basic reasons why the bounty hunters are mistreated here. Even after getting conned multiple times, the users are still ready to participate in such campaigns. And this gives initiative to the scammers to dish out even more innovative scams.

That is bad result but dont lose hope to earn from bounty. Many projects have been introduced everyday and everytime not all are like these projects and as I seen spyce they have mentioned they will pay for their hunter on 3months but thats unfortunate if the price already dump. But it does not its on the project, when a token get listed on exchange its the market decide whether to pump or dump the price. Hunters should not be so angry when its price dumped. Its not on the hand of the project, this is should be an awareness to every hunters.

Still good bounty, but it's not much like previous years. It seems we have gone through the good phase of bounty, now we can't get the same good rewards as before. Worked for weeks and received only a few dozen dollars from them

I also believe that, time isn't remain same as privious. Honestly i am still very disappointed with the Blockburn project, when the bounty campaign is over they will pay in three months, but the price on the exchange volume has dropped more than their IEO price.

It's true that most of the projects are scam in a way or another. They just try to collect fund to fulfill their promised roadmap but at the end they don't. However, it's also true that bounty bring no good for a project.

it seems very difficult indeed to get rid of scam projects because I see that when there are many scam projects, it will have a negative impact on the price movement of cryptocurrency and the name of cryptocurrency will be bad because of course there will be many who are disappointed and are no longer interested in cryptocurreny.

   It's difficult, but not impossible to find a good bounty! I am looking at your signature and IQ sounds like a
good project. They promise a good investment plan for people who hold certain amount of coins. I saw
signature earlier and I checked what's all about, and maybe it's sounds too good, and that is a red flag in my
mind, can it really be so good?! Very active bounty, I see IQ on many places almost every day for several times.
   Do you believe in that project you advertise?
   

Bounty will never end or die that's the truth the only thing that is happening is that bounty isn't paying like before but as for it to die it's not true. Some projects are still sincere but I will advice ever bounty hunter that solemnly rely on bounty to look for another job to add up to bounty because the gains isn't like before. My advice.

why so sure? I see the possibility of ending and there is really no bounty campaign anymore, it is still possible because the bounty campaign is only held when needed, the bounty campaign will not guarantee your economy so you should be able to find other jobs that can help the economy and not depend on the results of the bounty campaign.

Bounty has been dying for so long I think it is just waiting for hunters to let it go.
But as long as there are some hunters who would support and work for the new project then we couldn't say that bounties would really come to end.
Bounties would continue as long as there are hunters who would participate or promote their project.

You can always switch from bounties into signature campaigns. Who knows maybe it's not the problem of bounties but altcoins or they way they're promoted. It's always aggressive marketing, referrals, a lot of promises and then the coin doesn't even get listed or is listed on some shit exchange with no liquidity.

Bounty programs are still a good way of advertising just like signatures. It's possible you guys will be advertising bitcoin businesses instead of wasting time on shitcoins. The market will show where the demand is.

i think the only legit way to earn from bounty now a days by sell your bounty stakes againt BTC ETH Or USDT . there are many bounty management who did example Tokpie Exchange but you can hold there native token "TKP" to sell your stakes.

Bounty is dead? Are you kidding? Over the past 2 years I have seen a lot of successful bounty and helped bounty hunters get money. Bounty doesn't die, they just become more silent because new projects keep failing. If new projects succeed, then their bounty will surely become successful

Well it has been for the past two and a half years. Many bounty hunters have been struggling to get more pay or even have value to the coins or tokens that they get whenever they join and participate in bounty campaigns. I was a witness to these times when joining bounties has been a rewarding experience and you actually earn real life money on these campaigns. Now it is similar to a hit and miss, wherein you have to spend many hours on bitcoin forums and bitcoin bounty websites in order to get the most profitable and in order to be the first to join. There should still be good things in bounties, but I think it may still be many years before joining bounties would be bountiful again. Just my piece.

They do not care anything at all, just like Digitalbits Team that they did not pay bounty hunter's work. After waiting for like a years bounty hunters received nothing but accusations of being cheaters. Project's team holding bounty hunter's token up till they can dumped all theirs so hunters could not get any from their effort.

There have been some successful projects this year but they did not pay the bounty participants properly because of the small allocations. now the investment trend has changed greatly. and that, of course, changes the results of the bounty project.

why does it seems to be the end for bounty's , bad people will pop up everywhere where money is made so there will absolutely be scamprojects but that is not the end for us , there will be good projects also so i keep doing it , till better times arrive, hope somewhere soon

yes this way is used for projects that have bad intentions like BCNEX for example. they deliberately provide regulations for bounty hunters to claim the tokens that they have in their respective accounts for a time limit of approximately 3 months. until in the end after the claim process is completed the bounty hunters carry out the sales process in the BCNEX platform ,, everything runs normally, but unfortunately after the buying and selling process, the funds they have obtained cannot be withdrawl to they personal account..

We should understand that, the cryptocurrency community has been egolf with many individuals whose intentions aren't good to the people of the cryptocurrency community. Projects have been here over time now, many of these projects never saw the light of the day, those individuals after source funds from the investors through the help of the bounty hunters, they turned their back to conspire against the market in order to dump their shitcoins against the hunters which is quite bad in my opinion.

It is not dead but now there are more projects that do not pay the participants, there must be those who have succeeded in bringing the project to the target at the time of sale. It's just that now we as participants have to be careful in joining the campaign because there are lots of sweet promises given to participants or investors but it turns out it's all just a trick so that they are trapped into a scam scheme.

New ICO projects have always been and will be a good bait for scammers, as long as everyone has the opportunity to freely engage in this type of activity and create these new projects without any registration and identity verification. We need to wait until this type of activity is organizationally regulated by states. This time should come nevertheless, since states will not be able to ignore such a massive number of frauds for a long time. After that, the work of bounty hunters will become productive and paid.

not only for those Projects, but a lot of projects have been scammed in many ways. Now the bounty groups are no longer reputable, they like it and do it and they will scam. they out and make a lot of money, then they will create another group to continue making money this way.
So, don't believe in anything. analyze projects yourself, if it's good enough work for them. Do not choose a project to work for them, you will easily work unpaid projects for fraud.

Yeah, I have personal experience with that. For some instance, the tokens of bounty hunters will be locked for a particular period of time allowing the team and investors to trade and dump for a while. However, this does not necessarily mean that is the end of bounties. There are equally good ones to participate in.

As for me I'm still going to keep giving a try, few projects will surely survive that's why I don't plan on stopping, congrats to all bounty hunters that promoted hybrix and hex bounty, it's really not easy to keep hunting while the chances of losing is high

Despite the fact that bounty campaigns have recently ceased to be profitable, newcomers still support such ICO that take place on the forum. This is because they have heard about how bounty hunters received a large profit from participating in bounty campaigns a few years ago.

But just like in trading, can you sell it at the price you are expecting to receive? of course no, for sure that will still be lower than the IEO price of the project. I am not so familiar with the Tokpie platform but I can read it here in the forum and like I said, no guarantee you'll be able to sell it at IEO price.

It's depending on bounty hunter themselves, how can we find a real project with honest team inside there. We must learn about how the scam project strategies work and use it for upcoming projects that we will participate in. My advice is before you join into a project as promotor, first step that you must do is review them, the teams and whatever that linked in the project.

It doesn't what he was saying regarding the bounty but it looks like he just need to visit the bounty section again and try to do a deep research before try to judge the bounty already death.
The problem is the scam project and when we rarely the scam project exist again and it will help bounty to wake up again.

Even if you find a good campaign with a good team, they can still scam you and not make a payment. I recently saw a few campaigns like Blockburn, Insure. They are good campaigns and have been listed many exchanges. But in the end they still scam and do not make payment for bounty hunter

Bounty hunters are the one spreading awareness for the project so they should get the rewards they deserves after exerting an effort, and not the useless tokens without value. However nowadays receiving shitcoins after the project ends is quite common it means you didnt end up in a good project. You can prevent this from happening by participating in a legit and with potential bounty.

Just participate in campaigns managed by reputable managers here in the forum. And you will find out that those legit bounties are mostly bitcoin paying campaigns. Even if the payment is not too big at least you know at the end of the week, you are getting paid. Better stick to reputable BMs because the chance of getting screwed is very small to none.

One funny thing about Bounty hunters is that they repeat this statement alot.

Most popular scenarios is this, you quit Bounty cos it's not rewarding you and then project like hex shows up and boom, you come back in faith.
 
You take another leave away from Bounty, and a project like hybrix showa up again, this is why you must dyor and promote content, product not just any project

It not the end of bounty campaign Ill think you can say that because these happening right now that have so many bounty campaign scam in this forum. Actually we can find good bounty campaign we want to find them are have time to search of them, Even do one of us in here are trying to search a good bounty campaign and want to earn more in a bounty campaign.

The only problem that you face is that you involved in so many scam projects. Therefore, you couldn't trust bounty campaigns anymore. I usually invest a lot of time to do research about a campaign before doing it. You should check any background information that the bounty team provided as well as their plan. There's no particular way to check whether or not a campaign is scam. However, doing research plays an important role in joining a bounty campaign. It can't eliminate the rist of being scamed but it reduces the risk.

Most of the people seems to lose their interest on bounty since last year because there are no projects that are worth their effort and time. I wish that there is one last bounty I could get reward on it so that it could bring me hope on doing efforts on promoting them.

Also, some bounties are not giving rewards at all and some have no exchange yet. I've experienced those even the on the time that bounty is good. Finding bounty is like a random number generator anymore so wish you luck to those who will pursue this kind of thing.

yes, that is a very deep sadness, when we have been working for several weeks to promote their project but the results are not there
for now, we bounty hunters must be smart in choosing projects so that the results of our hard work get the right payment

Don't know why you called this is the end when things like this existed way back then in the bounties section too. It's nothing new that scam project will eventually pull out an exit on everyone, bounty hunters included. This is why today, you need a trustable BM to at least, attract bounty hunters.

For those who think that bounties are not really worth or not confident as in past people have seen that they have lost it as those turned out to be worthless coins or some did not even got listed and people wasted their time and efforts in prompting wrong sign. So better to stay with the good coins whom you trust or participate in the btc paying campaign.

There's still a lot of good bounties but it's the long wait for a coin that you received in the bounty is the hardest part, now that we are in the pandemic we will have to wait for months or even years to see the potential of the coin you've promoted, one example is the project TheGeomadao, they've distributed the bounty but the project was stopped because of the pandemic.

This pandemic added the wait for good coins to gain its value, there's no assurance since each bounty have its enticing offers, hunters to work more harder in searching for good and quality projects that have potentials to bring or pay decent amount after the bounty works has been done. Keep in mind that even there's only small percentage of success the rate is decent enough to enjoy.

That's not true. As long as the manager can create a good agreement with the team and the hunter can get their payment easily. The problem is the manager who managed the campaign can't negotiate with the team.
I have been participating in some good campaigns and i always get my payment in a short time after the bounty ended

Currently bounty is no longer holding the hype like previous years, the reason is that the market collapsed and new projects could not succeed. But if you're still working hard and searching for campaigns right now, I believe you'll still get a little bit of it.

Even if bounty is losing interest to many people, the truth about bounty's failure is still unchangeable as the market has become cramped for new projects, every idea always needs creativity but instead of creativity, projects just try to repeat the old path, combined with the deceptive behavior of some bad components, the end for bounty is gradually shown more clearly. But before the end began, we should follow the bounty until the last moment, trying for the last good luck, some rewards will not be too bad if we persevere

It is not nearly the end of bounty, there are still very good bounty out there, already we have to.many fake project that are taking advantage of hunters, some will refuse to pay hunters after working for weeks doing campaign, but despite this setback, we still have some few good project who still consider the hardwork of hunters.

Despite all that you have written about, bounty campaigns still attract a large number of participants. And when I look at bounty hunters, I see that most of them are Newbies. Obviously, they have heard that they used to earn very good money from bounties, but they don't know that there are no such payments anymore.

There are still good projects though. You just have to be watchful to the new trend in crypto because these new projects are usually the trend setter to pump everything up. Synthetix for instance is just making the crypto become very attractive and projects similar to it could just make it to the top. Oikos campaign looks good but its on its last week.

Not over yet because there are still many good ones only most of the good ones have certain deficiencies, for example bounties listed on the exchange allocation provided are always small and after the campaign ends I think we only get a few dollars for example iqcash, and other bounties there are good ones but using the participant limit for example hybrix.

This isn't new tricks, if market situation were good this manager will wait for price up. I thought IMO was a good project but they forced hunters to buy some random coin what was listed on IMO wallet. This is the new tricks to ignore bounty hunters even reward lock is also old process.

In my opinion, it looks like it is sad but true especially these that the bounty hunters are increasing so they might someone who makes a bounty to just use the bounty hunters and leave them be since it is a web development you can do nothing about it but report but still I think there are bounties which are legit so I would like to suggest that to pay attention to what bounties to join.

better to get a few dollars than not paid at all, now it is very difficult to get a project that pays big, although there are, it's only limited to price predictions, after entering the market the price is not the same as what they say

The bounty hunters really have to be smart enough to choose a good project which has potential to grow in upcoming time. Because of that we have to take this thing seriously and have to work on it to not get involve in scam projects. That's why we need to do more study on those project's where we should going to be part of it.

That's right, the thing that you say that must be done by every bounty hunter, because for every bounty hunter the time they spend on the project is very valuable, so every hunter must always do a serious study on the project they are promoting at the moment.
