the project you promote 2years back can still come up and give you awesome reward, delays takes place sometimes that makes project team keep postponing listing on exchanges,  imagine promoting a project in 2018 paid you big reward in 2020 after you've already zero your mind that it's over? I want bounty hunters in the house to verify this, true or false??

Anyways, do not underestimate projects you promote a year or two years ago, they can still pay up and secondly do not leave or exit their telegram channel no matter how many years it's been, if you do you might be denied of your rewards

Your topic is weird lol  ;D, almost got me confused until I read your post, anyways you are very correct, old bounties can come back to life and live up to their expectations, it's wrong to give up on projects you promoted because they haven't paid hunters, you can never tell

I'm sorry if you are still optimistic about bounties but there's no such that will have a comeback that made its ran 2 years ago and then will start paying good reward for this year. What's done is done and it won't come back unless they want to but sorry to cut your hopes, there will be no the same thing anymore. They can comeback but don't expect that "big reward".

What's the point of this? this isn't the perspective of a bounty hunter anymore, I guess this is for investors of that specific token.

You are wrong, some bounties have delays after the other, a friend of mine promoted Airwallet bounty in 2018 and they paid hunters this January 2020, he make thousands of dollars from that bounty alone because only few bounty hunters promoted the project

Bounties don't really get old, there is a twist to every Bounty campaign.

Old Bounties such as esh tokens from 2018, had value only in 2020, so instead, references your OP to bounty hunters to keep abreast with various information that concerns valuable promoted Bounties

Rarely are bounties that has paid after more than 6 months and the prices of tokens are satisfy-able to the participants. 16-17 were a pleasant time for bounty hunters but after that rarely have projects delivered the intended profit led alone doing that after a year. There could be a few rare cases but anything that held you coin for more than 6 month is a scam.

Some bounties will pay tokens to bounty hunters but will take extra year to get listed on exchanges, this is where most delays occurs in bounties, it's always about listing, the tokens will be sleeping in your wallets for so long and you will think it's over, shitcoin it is but yes good news can still happen

That will not be a surprise. Many projects nowadays used bounty payments delay tactic to prevent dumping. And some will not announce the time of bounty distribution to prevent some greedy buyers to pull the price down just to buy from the hunters especially when the token concerned is already listed on an exchange.

Well said, some team willingly delays listing for unknown reasons and I've seen a project taking a whole year to get listed on exchange and in the end they list on shit exchange, bounties delays are of different types, I joined one in 2019 and they haven't paid yet, the team said to wait till October 2020, imagine that.

Well, I know what you mean and what you feel. Honestly, til now way back 2 years ago. There's a bounty campaign I joined before where til the present I still stayed remain to their telegram channel, even their message on it was being locked up. Because, for what you said it could be that one day they will awaken and rise up in the market. Although, I'm not expecting so much in it. But who knows, isn't it.

I totally hate teams behavior, when you ask about bounty distribution, they say after IEO/ICO. So you have to watch out the coin regularly because you can miss the distribution and your spent time will be lost.

that's true. i have seen some people have joined in switch bounty and then this time they have been getting a lot of money. I guess when it reaches the peak price and each of hunters has already received more than 3k dollars but that depends on how many tokens that they have earned it.

What you say is very rare, and as long as I hunt bounties I have never seen or felt payments for projects that have been postponed for a long time or have not been developed, and what you need to know is that in 2018 most of the bounty projects are on average scam and does not pay, even if the token is paid, there is no value at all, not even in any exchange. "I hope you are still healthy when you say this"

The matter do they still remember of their participants which promote their project before? Do they want to pay rewards to them? If the project is good, the teams will distribute the rewards to all of their participants, but if it's not, then the participants will be very sad to wait for the rewards. I am not sure that the bounty hunters can wait for a long time to get the rewards.

1. Payments from bounties can come late
2. Listing on exchanges can take more time too

We can't escape these two delays, they happens most time to bounty hunters, and yes bounty delays can take years, since every information is recorded on spreadsheet there is always a hope you will receive payment one day

This topic looks like a joke ;D, you entered this forum in the middle of last year (July 28, 2019), but it sounded very funny when you revealed about the promotion and payment of project bounties in 2018 ;D, how did you make a project promotion in 2018? while you entered here in the middle of last year.

Sometimes happens, but I have more stories with it's opposite being true. Lol.

do not give up quickly with a long-paid project, but remain optimistic and keep abreast of the development of the project, I have participated in a project that took up to a year more, but the results I received from the payment were very satisfying.

This guy have been busy doing some diggings on old bounties it seems, I can feel the spirit of a strong bounty hunter wannabe here, well I was like this once, I knew almost many profitable bounties in 2017, it's another way of finding inspiration, something to believe and something to carry you along, a guy made 24k from a 2017 bounty, this still rings a bell in my mind till date, I don't plan on giving up, not now not ever

It was ignorance that got me, I have friends who are bounty hunters on here since 2018 and even those who are ready to put me through but I thought this blockchain of a thing was plain rubbish, hearing them saying many good and bad things about bounties makes me wanna cry, I thought is should share the story

The painful truth about bounties is most projects you promoted in 2020 won't turn into money until 2021 or even late 2021, bounties are full of delays and even if they send out tokens to all participants you still have to pray for quick listing, it's a shame but we gotta get used to it

You created the topic and you are asking someone to verify your claims?lol is this some kind of a joke and i believe
 that scammers will not come back just to pay the
 bounty hunters because this is the last thing these scammers wanted to do and also where did you get this idea?
you posted it as if you are part or one of the Hunters
 that being paid but in the end you are pointing to others?if ever there will be some kind of this?i am sure those
are the unique project that did not get a good support
back then thats why they paused the project for a while and after gathering some good ideas and investors they
are back to continue the proposal and encourage
investors to check their project thats why they need to pay those hunter so their name will
remain clean and hassle free.

Your post is a bit confusing but it's indeed true that bounties that refused to send out tokens to bounty hunters wallet aren't all scam, some will just delay payment for some reason that only the team can understand but after several months they will send the token to every qualified addresses, it happens, that's why patience is needy in this space

This is one of the rarest scenario that's possible to occur.  I would say that 99% of the times when such a situation occurs where a project is getting delayed for more than 2 years, it's about to end soon and the token would turn into another shit token.

If your friend ended up earning thousands of dollars then he must be one of the luckiest person in this world.
Most projects don't even last that long if it were to be a shit project idea.
So I would still say that late bounties would never yield a good income.
It would be better to not expect anything from such projects.

I agree. Lately, I was rewarded from a bounty I have joined 2 years ago. The bounty campaign extended for another six months from the previous 3 months and the manager said rewards distribution will be delayed until their coin is listed in a major exchange. I forgot about it while waiting. I was just shocked that their reward reflected in my wallet unexpectedly. What is more exciting that the rewards were very substantial.

Seems most of the project that delayed distribution that I promoted in the past years were all dead. Well lucky for you if there is a project that still active and will give a big reward because of late distribution, this is rarely scenario.

It has not happened to me yet. If I didn't receive the prize payment, I already assumed that the time to promote the project was lost. Maybe you were lucky, but it is very rare ...

I do hope I got some lucky projects that I promoted during that time. My friend do coti campaign ans now it is rising it seems you are right. Some of the campaigns that were promoted before become alive but not all are like this only few of them have chances like the one I mentioned.

Maybe this one is the real fact. If Im going to compared projects on 2018 than now it seems project now are not that serious and mostly only focusing on trading but does not have real potential.

same thing with me before they distribute  the payment for bounties the price is almost dead already.

So your lucky if you are able to sell your bounty rewards in good  price after long time of waiting , for that long year more of the project conduct  an ICO is already abandon  the project they created.

This is the reason I always checked my wallet if there are coming in, I even had coins coming that I forgot that I promoted or joined on airdrops, it takes time before they can build their presence sometimes they wait for the right time, but they also need to communicate from time to time to this forum their only communication sometimes are on telegram so investors and bounty rewards missed the news..

Your thoughts will be right when you see below activites from the projects:

• The team members won't be so much greedy
• Team will only focuse for the real useage of the project
• If the team capable of delievering the products which they included in the whitepaper/roadmap
• If they swap from old contract to new contract address in order to prevent the contract trading of the tokens on forkdelta or other contract trading dex (if it's on Ethereum blockchain)
• Finally and the most important thing is to be sure that team really want to pay bounty hunters in any situations

I am also a bounty hunter and i don't find out any projects which really pay the bounty hunters after a long time. Especially , there are two or three bounties in my working list which are well ranked in CMC ,but there is no sign of paying the bounty hunters. >:( So, it'll be only possible when the team really really want to pay the bounty hunters for their works.  ;)

You are not far from the truth, there are actually times when bounty hunters have given up in a project and on a faithful day they receive their reward and by then the token has started trading, some times the project must have been distributed but not trading over a long time, then just when everyone has given up, they see that the token has been listed,it happens in the bounty space.

Maybe about 2 or 3 months after the ICO has ended, it could still be possible that the project will pay the bounty hunters but 2 years after, i don't think the bounty project will still think paying the bounty hunters of their hard works. If they really want to pay, it could have happened within that year and not after 2 years from the time you have participated the bounty project.

If they haven't paid you for 2 years don't expect them to cough up the money all of a sudden.

I agree that old and forgotten projects can sometimes experience pumps and make the holders profit but it's very rare. 2 years is a long time for an altcoin. If it has not shown anything this long you may have 1% chance that it ever will.

Yes, there are projects like that, but only a few, most of those who have disappeared will never return or pay the bounty hunter. so don't expect a lot of bounties in the past to do that

Yeah, that's right for the real & geniune projects. But there are some projects which really pay me after a long time. From my experience, i did a bounty in Q1 of 2018 which was about almost 2 years from current date. And it's really shocking and wonderful thing that i got the payment of that bounty after 2 years and able to sold the tokens in January 2020. So nothing is impossible for any projects if the team members are real and really want to pay the bounty hunters IMO.  :D ;)

but not all projects that you say can give high prizes after passing 1/2 / 3 years. the fact is there are many bounty projects in 2018-2019 that do not have information about their latest developments, and even worse it is difficult to register on the Exchange. there are many problems with their prize and token projects.
a little story, at that time I joined the SESSIA project and got 1000 KICK tokens equal to $ 500 and currently 1000KICK = $ 100?

Would you like to provide information regarding the bounty you mentioned in promoting a project in 2018 paid you big reward in 2020? Sometimes it surprises me, but it is very rare.

Yes it's true. I have promoted a campaign since 2017, the token got listed few months back and I sold with huge profit. Well the token was sold below ICO price but yet I made profit it was an unexpected money to me this year because I've lost hope. We should keep promoting projects that are legit with time they will pay.

If their project is legal, then I believe they will pay bounty if their project is still active. I saw a lot of bounty in 2017 ended and they were silent until 2019, but suddenly they implemented IEO in exchanges and then they distributed tokens to bounty hunter. Never lose faith in bounty because you will always be able to make money from it

yes, sometimes it might be like that but not with my fate. Of the several projects that I promoted last year, only a few were sent in my wallet and currently do not have high selling prices. the longer the price gets worse, it might be good to sell after getting a token, if holding new coins for too long sometimes does not match expectations.

As you said, sometimes it can happen but very little. Most bounty is scam and has no value. Now, the same way, there are a lot of campaigns running but there aren't any campaigns that make payments on time. They will find a way to delay distribution for a long time

Although I have not take in a bounty that long, the ones I have taken part that haven't paid are not up to a year so I can't really tell but I have heard few people in my group chat says some bounty they participated on long ago have paid, so yes I guess some honest project team still keep to their promise irrespective of the time gap.

They may pay for bounty, but the price has fallen too many times since they listed at the exchange. I still remember the ICNQ project, they made a bounty payment after nearly a year and the price has dropped hundreds of times compared to the original. Bounty hunters only received a few cents instead of hundreds of dollars at the time

Though you are right, when their is life their is hope for any  project, but in most cases it easier said than done. Because virtually only few people will remain in the telegram group, most will have use hot head fly out.
This is a means to introduce patience in hunters act.

Early or late bounties doesn't really matter much to me as long as the authenticity of the team is verified and I am satisfied with it. All it takes in most late cases is patience. Some times require enough time to develop before hitting the market or paying as well

I have not met such projects yet. Almost always, when a project fails, it no longer returns. I do not exclude the possibility that some kind of project could rise from the dead, but I did not come across such.

I have that kind of bounty campaign its almost two years waiting to list in exchange site, But sometimes it worth and more of them are not. And if we have patience waiting on those project even do it will more years processing to list in a best exchange must better to wait than sell it into a shit price. Actually while we waiting we can get more altcoins in other bounty campaign and earn more on it, As of now few of bounty campaign are trusted.

This is how I prefer doing bounties.. I wait and search for projects that are about to end, check the level of participation. If it's low, I jump in and do the available campaigns and at the end of it all, I still come out earning much tokens that in the end will worth more than those who started. This is because, most people tend to concentrate on just social media campaigns leaving other campaigns open and allocation huge for fewer participants. If the bounty is already saturated, I simply skip and move to the next. It has been working for me.

It's not normal today that you will find luring bounty but It will be listed in ages. But it is better than some developers who abandoned the project after the crowd sale and become an official scam project. Some of the coins that we are waiting to be listed don't really have worth because of past investors who are rushing to sell then the price will crash. It's reality though, Thinking that you waited for so long and you sold it for an unfair price. Sadly this is the bounty situation right now, If not being scammed you will wait for years to sell your token.

You're right! Long-term projects may pay you very late but it's still a bonus. As a bonus, old or new is still valid. There are projects I participated in a few years ago until later I received money and until now I still have. I wait for the price of big Eth to sell.

This happens in say 1/10 cases in my own opinion. Because for a project to deny paying her bounty participants in a year at most means they will never pay. Just don't be hopeful on such projects.

I understand what you are saying, but that only applies to projects that are truly successful and that fit their working map. not many projects can do it in 2018 - 2019. Project success requires at least 3-4 years.
if it starts from 2018 then you can wait until the year 2021-2022.

This will be perfect whom lost interest and ask for right time to join bounties. Only 1 year later several projects paid huge rewards. Unfortunately I missed so many coin but I got only Harmony and Cartesi. I know I got the best campaign but still I'm waiting for the best rewards.

Right, we must not lose hope. Like my friends who joined Jarvis, Ethershift, and several other projects that were worthless a while ago but are now pumping. So they get a profit they didn't get last year. Well, this proves that cryptocurrency is full of surprises. Who knows, those worthless tokens or coins can become a big profit one day.

You are lucky if you find those good projects but most of them are just crap. Very few can end up like Jarvis.

You have to check their long term goals because you will get insights if the project is for long term or not.

What about this? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5065193.0

Jarvis network bounty has started in 2018 and the hunters have been getting their reward at the end of 2019 and each of hunters got around 2k - 3k for their reward.

That has proven your statement was not true.

But most times you won't hear anything from the projects again, and that's finally, the telegram group won't be updated, everything will turn into cold era on their channel, to keep having hope on a project the team will continually update the community

No Bounty Projects are worth trusting.  That is, by getting people to work and getting them listed in a cheap exchange and then they see some token facility and they do not get any benefit.

It is true, many bounty payments are quite long, and some are quickly paid but tokens have not been listed for a long time, so it can be said to be the same as delaying payment

You may have never seen a successful bounty project. however, currently, it depends on the type of project. at the moment it is quite difficult to find such a bounty. however, when you find it, you will surely feel satisfied. now, try to do research about the bounties, and study each system. who knows you could be the lucky one to find a bounty like that.

To avoid fraud in the bounty, payments must be made on a weekly basis. But the fact that you will receive your tokens in time for work does not guarantee that they will have a price. Therefore, payments should be made not in project tokens, but in coins such as bitcoin and ethereum.

Any project that still posses hopes of paying will remain active till the end, this is the surest way to confirm bounty projects that will probably end up keeping their promises, delays is a normal thing and time consuming, it's better to keep working on other bounties, don't wait for one to pay before you join another, it's a waste of time and the one you are waiting for might end up not paying..

Two years of waiting for that bounty rewards? It's still a good news that they managed to still pay all of you even it it's really late. Does their token has a value now? If so, you are lucky your efforts before was not wasted. Though I also experienced receiving late bounty rewards but not that long that took 2 years. Just 6 months of delayed but I can say that my paid rewards doesn't cost any value and was kinda disappointed.

As long as the developer can use escrow to keep the payment and that's not a big problem but there was no even a single developer who wanna use the escrow and that makes the hunters got a lot of uncertainties to the payment of bounty.
I didn't even think they wanna waste their native coin to pay the hunters.  :D

One thing prominent about bounty campaigns is that, be it 2 years ago, 3years ago or 4 weeks; projects team that will share token rewards to bounty hunters will definitely share it.

But the value is something you cannot ascertain over a period of time.

I can not say about a delay of two years.  But my friend, for over a year now he has not been doing a bounty.  And still receiving awards for old projects.  My biggest delay was a project that paid eight months later.

In this current market situation, I think it's not possible to happen after idle and no development in two years the project eventually die without any liquidity and it's very hard to survive without any adequate source of funds thats why after 2 years of waiting for the bounty payment to arrive is just hopeless I never encountered that long before getting paid in the bounty campaigns that I promote.

Even if the bounty hunter is not in their telegram channel anymore, they should honor their commitment to those bounty hunters, they worked for it and they spend time and effort, they are stealing from their bounty hunters if they did not send the rewards just because it is not in the telegram anymore.

Honestly I already almost forget the bounty that I will receive, until now I haven't receive the bounty that I worked in 2018, but I am already ready to accept the loses, I can even accept that I lose my money investing in some projects, how much more a bounty that I didn't risk a single centavo on it.

Actually I would be glad to see if someone has received their bounty now, and sold at a good price.

Hopefully there's one we can see here.

2 years ago many bounties did not pay but until now I have not received anything, the telegram group has also disappeared. maybe a project that pays because the team really appreciates the hard work of bounty hunters because sometimes there are teams that don't care about anyone

this happened many times we do register and forget and after some time when we see its worth while lol

well that's all because they are developers trying to scam and don't care about the participants but at the moment I think the bounty managers have made more selections so I'm sure the bounty campaign has started to make payments because there are many bounty managers who are organizing projects that have already enter at the exchange place.

If the project is still active and updating to the investor, you will receive that bounty soon. However, if the project is silent for a long time, you will certainly receive nothing, and your work will be wasted in a very boring way.

I have met over a hundred projects like this in the past, and it took me a lot of time, but this is a good job for me anyway.

"Sometimes" is a good amount but we could say "rarely" late bounties can still pay rewards. That is the real one, it rarely ever pays, we could even say astronomically it will not pay you anything at all. Now does this mean it is impossible? No, you can still profit on a late bounty, it is still possible, but it is so rare that when you get it you basically feel like it is free money since you wrote it off. That is the thing about cutting hope from something, if it doesn't happen you already didn't expected it to happen, but if it ends up happening you feel very happy because you didn't hope for it to happen at all, there is no downside to it.

Work for them anyway, in the end you are not losing much just time and if you have enough time it could be profitable one day.

I like the spirit of the author but I want to suggest that better not to hold on or just don't put too much expectation. Better to live in the bounty world outside from this manner or you're just end up burying your own hope.

It happens very rarely when the project team wait for their project to get listed on better exchanges but if the project team is delaying the token distribution for years then you don't have to trust them, just move away because you have less than 1% to get rewards.

There are some genuine projects and ICO which have done their bounty 1-2 years ago(there may be cases of delay due to local law ) and they are working hard for their project. So this is definitely possible that a project will pay you a good reward.

As of now we dont need expect from bounty campaign that would be not totally pay in bounty hunters because of them right as you said are most of them is a scam bounty. Ill think we need to think or search such a good bounty for so long to earn a better bounty rewards, And even do a bounty is a for long term goal they have time still quite a group a leave in no time for a reason they could not continue and not list a exchange.

Bounty duration is a factor that cause triverse opinions amongst bounty hunters, and it likewise brings about wrong moves.
If as a bounty, you focus solely on marketing for quick profit, then making it huge will be far off.

Some bounties are rare gems, but most hunters miss out due to targeting of just quick rewards, i won't scrutinize you; just dyor and choose your bounties.

It will be so lucky if we get the projects that never forget us.  After a long time in waiting for the price,  it will be like a jackpot if we can get the price in panic zone.  But cryptocurrency has a lot of surprise and the bounty hunters should believe that miracle is exist.  If we trust it,  it will be make it.

I often think, it's not just hard work, we also need luck.
How not, the project that initially looked very promising, finally did not provide anything. While the project that looks doubtful turned out to have a good development. The role of luck is quite large, however, we must not neglect analysis. Keep analyzing and researching the project before joining. Simplify expectations, and do this wholeheartedly. If it is lucky, we will get the best.

if there is still a bounty campaign like that then it is a mistake of the project that holds the bounty campaign because it is not in accordance with the initial agreement with the bounty manager because sometimes the bounty manager will find information first when it will be paid and how much allocation is given to the bounty campaign participants .

Still, you do not have to spend on luck at all times. See, in all areas, hard work pays and that is a fact. If it does not pay off, then there are other external factors that are limiting it.
Also, there is different levels of hard work. Just try to be diligent. Never let any work pass you by. Do it effectively and ensure that you get yourself engaged in the parts that pay so high. In the end, you will confirm that it pays to work hard.
If you work hard, you do not have to depend on o luck, it will always come.

It is true that if the project team doesn't become the scammer, they will pay the reward their bounty hunters sooner or later. But I think, it is not fair that the reward of bounty campaign of 2018 will be paid in 2020. It is very important to make a continuous communication with the team but when they delay a long time without pay, it hampers other projects. Sometimes, we cannot but leave them because of maintaining proper communication for the present  bounties.

The duration doesn't matter a lot but in my opinion if our choice will matter a lot. I do agree if everyone aiming for the quick bucks without care to DYOR before try to join in a bounty.

Some hunters might be fallen into the some factors like how big the allocation, how good the manager who manage it and other things.

Yes, it's correct. When bounty hunters start to promote a project there was an unwritten agreement/commitment that they pay tokens in due time. But sometimes they did not. Some projects did not give any ans also to hunters and after one year they say their project scam or they fail to fill the target. this is very uncertain to hunters.

That might be a possibility but we are talking about projects who locked their tokens for 1-2 years and still hasn't given the rewards for the bounty hunters because of some delays, which is absurd. So I don't think that this kind of projects will reward the bounty hunters anymore. They might have just exited to be honest. Even if there's a really legit project there that really wants to be used by the world, I doubt that will have a "great reward" since the hype and all the promotions from years back are wasted because of it being asleep for a long time.

My educated guess would be that you're referring to ESH here. It's a project that I also was involved in 2018 when it was still Ethershift. It had a great bull run preceding May 25 from less than 2cents to over $2.4. Early investors banked a great ROI and went to the bank with a smile. Yes, I believe there are other projects too like that but the devs have to be up and doing like Josh (the ESH dev) is, and not sleep off the pedal like the dudes at MB8 are doing.


This is word of advice, a great advice indeed.

If the project materialized. There are past projects that are veing revived now and luckily if you joined that campaign before and you still got the tokens then congratz. I am also expecting to receive some coins and tokens from bounty that I worked on but I will not hope for much cause we all knew that only rare project becomes succesful after a long line of hard work. I dont have much news on hawk network, but I feel they can be a good project years from now. My tokens are keeply safe on my wallet and gonna wait till it worth a good value in the next few year/s.

If you decide to participate in the bounty to earn project tokens, you should initially understand that you will not always be paid for the work you have done. Most ICO are waiting for a fiasco and these projects will never be launched. Therefore, you will never get paid for the work you have done.

   I will tell you about my experience with the last bounty I participated. TecraCoin! It was a long-lasting bounty,
over 4 months I participated in that bounty. They paid us in their coins, last October, I still wait for TecraCoin
to get listed and to see where I am with that bounty.
   Selling coins from bounties is not my thing, I plan to sell some little amount and to buy some other alt-coins
I desire more. But I will keep at least 50% of TecraCoin for future, the same I did with some other coins or tokens
I got from bounties.

These coins are rare, there is no guaranty that the coins you've promoted two years ago, will make a comeback and become huge in the future you cannot keep up with coins following them for years and fight your frustration for not giving you their rewards, better considered not trustworthy, these kinds of coins do not deserve our trust.

You maybe right and wrong with this matter mate. But who knows they will still give the late rewards who promoted their
project before. Because its been 2 years almost now that I joined before in an ICO where up to now they still not paying the rewards to
us. But their Telegram was still active however you can't able to write a message to their official chat room.

I think you are quite correct here, the key thing about waiting for good old projects is patience. A good project might take some time to come to limelight and actually become successful however it's not very easy to wait,what you need is reliable information about the continuity and the life circle of the project. Many atimes the project might be contraint financially which might cause the delay. Infact patience is the key in this part of the crypto space

If you study well about the project then eventually you will get a good one, but you need to be more patient about it. Sometimes it will take more time than you expected, so you have to show your patience during this process. Nowadays it's not that easy to find a good project, that's why having patience will lead you towards a good project.

It's actually true. There are bounties out there that that didn't became successful at the start, But after a few months or years, You were shocked that it still lived to it's expectations. So, if there are bounties out there that you know has potential, Don't sell it. It may cost you thousands of dollars in the future.

I'm hopeful due, I have a lot of bounty rewards that I can't sell right now, it could either be the project has already failed or they just pause now, I don't know anymore, I haven't followed the projects I participated in bounty campaign before but I know one day I'll be interested on checking them especially when the altcoins season begins.

You are right, but the possibility for such projects is only 100: 1 because if they have disappeared long enough then they will not come back again, only legitimate projects do such a thing

many project that disappeared for long time will not pay bounty reward to hunter. they just forget our work for several month. i see several project that still exist till now on although not listed but they never talk about bounty distribution as if they didnt allocate fund for it.

Can you give me the name of those coins that have done that, I have promoted so many coins in the past but those that I did not receive, never live up to their expectation of rewarding bounty hunters although it's late, there two coins I received that took them 5 months before I received it, but it's on their advice because they stopped their IEO but two years is such a long time.

Maybe, but the chance of getting decent from those kinds of bounty is really small. It's hard to predict how pass bounty projects
will turned, if they already runaway with the money that they've got from the initial offering of their projects, though there's
also some possibilities if the project is not really intend to scam but only received small support maybe they can come back and
pay hunters and continue the project.

What you said is true though, but it depends on the type of project and also the number of projects which results in this way is always small. Small in the sense that, only few projects team have the right mindset when it comes to the crypto space, some can go underground just to develop the perfect project they want which might take a very long time but won't fail to update the community. Also, most developers too don't care, once they have the funds they will keep giving excuses of working on the project and gradually the community will lose interest and thus perfect time for them to shut down everything. Lastly, I think once in a while it is wise checking most of these projects to see if there is a new turnaround.

Do you still believe in the old project and then run again instead they were not there before? I'm not sure especially with the lure of listing after distribution maybe that can be said nonsense again.

It happens, don't feel disappointed yet if the project you promote turn out not paying the tokens yet, I've seen few projects that was once abandoned coming back to life after few months or years

This is something I have experienced because I have participated in some bounties on way back 2018 and I still got some rewards till now. the last token I sold is my reward on Airdrop which is I participated in last 2018. Although the reward is not that high, there are some people who got huge tokens from bounties and sold it for more than 500$ after they received it 2 years from doing that bounty. Anyway, don't get yourself excited because this kind of scenario is rare and only those legit bounties are paying something like that. the other bounties are still not paying after so many years.

I joined some Airdrops in 2018 and now I'm just selling in 2020, I almost forgot them in my wallet thinking they are dead but I'm glad I decide to do research on them and viola! They are listed and trading on exchanges, made few hundreds of dollars from the Airdrops 

What is really funny about bounty is shock news, I have received series of ended bounties for some time, but this can be achieved by constant check on telegram discussion group. QDAO bounty participated 2 years time ago is currently distributing to participants, same thing happened to Zynecoin that later paid in USDT to participants after a year of waiting.

I'm also a bit skeptical, but I've seen a lot of silent projects for a long time. But then they came back and listed on many major exchanges in this market, so let's wait and see how it will perform in the near future.

This is not the only surprising part, some projects that are dead came back to life this year and WPP is part of them, isn't that insane?? A friend of mine kept his token thinking it's now worthless but days back he sold them for good 800$, this is a warning for those who don't like seeing worthless coins in their wallets, always want to find ways to send them away to unknown address

Good advice, bounties from 2018 can still pay up in 2020, there are already examples of this, Airwallet bounty campaign happened in 2018 and many participants thinks it's a dead end, I'm January 2020 they listed and those who sold first are very lucky..

That's right, there are many bounty like that in this market. I also participated in some bounty in 2018 and in early 2020 they distributed to my wallet and helped me get a great amount of money.

it is always nice when a company pays tokens for bounty campaigns even a long time ago (years) it is certainly a nuisance but it is always better than not receiving anything, of course the various projects can suffer many setbacks such as poor fundraising, difficulty in planning etc, but they should be honest with the bounty hunters and tell the truth loke for example: we are having difficulties but we will pay you as soon as possible...

I did a bounty too named buzzshow whose project many investors and hunters had written off due to non listing in any exchange for almost two years lo and behold they eventually got listed early this year it was very delightful for many who earned unexpected or forgotten money, I was very happy to earn some bitcoin from that project I sold if off to bitcoin It really worth waiting patiently and endlessly for listing it paid off for us while some investors and hunters sld theirs cheaply to other buyers.  

I have to tell you this that you aren't the luckiest person. These types of projects always pay huge rewards. Somehow you missed these projects: Coinhe, Jarvis network and Thinkcoin. Both campaigns had signature campaigns and both campaigns paid almost 10k USD. This situation is always going to happen with social hunters. We could get profits next year from the work of this year.

There are such companies that paid out tokens after 1 year or even after 2 years, but there are very few such companies and usually such companies have been actively developing throughout the whole time and have made it clear that there is still some chance for payments for bounty hunters.

Very true but this often depends on the number of participants and the bounty allocation. The lower the participation, the higher the chances that such bounty token reward will be higher. Once this happens and you are able to get a sizeable amount of tokens, there is a possibility that you will earn good money if the token eventually gets listed and does well on an exchange.

It really is. Projects of past years can begin to work actively after a long time and there have been several such cases in me. Therefore, do not throw coins or tokens from wallets if they are not traded on exchanges for a long time and have no price.

It's true we have to be optimistic that old bounties can give rewards a few years later, there are some old projects that are after
2-3 years suddenly enter large exchanges and pumps. But the amount is small, I call it a miracle. Therefore, never underestimate
the shitcoins that are in our wallet, these shitcoins could become valuable coins in the future.

I'm yet to have any personal experience of how a project could resurrect and pay bounty hunters after a long time. I believe it's possible, but the chances are very slim. Most projects who decides not to pay hunters for their job, walks away without looking back and unless there's a restructure or change in management, the reward could be gone for good.

unfortunately, it's hard to find a bounty project like that nowadays. some projects only promise and never keep before they are completely gone. however, for certain projects, it seems like it's normal. however, sometimes they delay payments to 3 months after IEO ends.

You're right. I expect bounty managers and bounty projects to be honest with bounty hunters. We dedicate our work anyway, it will be fine if we know you have the hard time to pay all the rewards. We can wait. However, I really hate waiting without knowing how long should we wait and what we're waiting for.

It is much more better when this bounty token have a value after all.

"difficulties to pay" - dont have spare 50-100 bucks for network fee to send hunters tokens ? That is a lame excuse.

Delays will occur in most projects for different reasons, some team are just too slow with development and there is nothing one can do to change that, most times new projects are all about Waiting, I have waited for two years to get my tokens from Airwallet and in the end it still did very well, as a bounty hunter you will need lots of patience

1. The bounty projects you promoted years back can still turn up and pay, make sure you don't exit yourself from the groups e.g telegram to avoid not getting paid

2. Even dead coins can start picking up again, there are many examples of this already, if you have shitcoins or dead coins it won't do you any harm if you just leave them in your portfolio

True, a project you promoted years back can still pay up, don't accept that they are scam projects, some get mad and exit telegram channel which was warned as rules of getting paid, few bounties I joined in 2018 pays in 2019 and 2020, if you want to be a good bounty hunter you need to be in calm state.

This is a wrong statement dude. JRT have been developing its platform for almost 2 years and the bounty have already ended at 2018.

The reward has already determined by the price for each of JRT token and this is the key to determine how much the reward. What ever how much the total allocation but if the price was zero and you will also get nothing.

This is true and it has happened a few times before, and one that comes to mind is the farmatrust bounty, a very good bounty in 2018 that focused on healthcare and blockchain solutions, by mid 2019, the token was trading well on exchanges and brought more profits than present bounties. Another story like situation is the Iagon bounty, they have fixed their patent and their platform is ready to use, what remains is proper hype, exchange listing and more.

Of course they would still pay rewards. They do not want to be branded something like scam or fraud cause that would really damage their branding and platform. Late bounties are really profitable sometimes because they are still developing their platform in someway that it will be really useful at some point in time. We should just be patient in getting our salary from these kinds of bounties because there are a lot of ways to earn profit.

Such situations can sometimes be detrimental and sometimes you can benefit as you say. profitable when payments made can have a better value than the current value due to a platform update. but that gets worse when the update isn't done and the team disappears. Bounty Hunter will not accept their payment.

yes, this is true. I experienced this one last May as I checked those 2 bounties thru their telegram and social media accounts that they have been updating recently. I got the reward after the bounty has been finished and been waiting to go in exchange, suddenly the projects came out to exchange and got a nice price for those coins. Hoping for my other bounties to turn to money  ;D

Not rewarding bounty hunter's on time wasn't the rule before joining bounties. Won't it be better to inform the bounty hunter's earlier enough when to receive their reward than deceiving them to believe that their payment will be in two weeks time after promoting their project.
Not all bounty hunter's has the patient to wait and to be following up their telegram group for year's

Okay you are not wrong for saying that, but first you have to know that any project that is legit will show that from the beginning so that you don’t mistaken them with scam projects, and keep on waiting for a project that’s never going to pay you ‘till thy kingdom come’ lol ;D.

So, just like I said, if a project is legit, they will be doing things from the beginning that will show you that they are legit and even when there are problems that are delaying things, you will at least get to know why there are delays. Try to learn how you can differentiate legit projects from scam, so that you don’t end up waiting on a projects that’s never going to pay.

Not at all and when you get paid after all the years of waiting then pretty sure that majority arent really that expecting for them to received those tokens
yet they already had moved on after all the long  time that you havent paid up.In this case that they do still sent out your reward then that will give out
some good feeling but are you sure that those tokens would be still worth of? No it wont! It will always vary on the demand and if in luck if that
project pushes out then that will be an unexpected profit for you.

You are on point, most times some project are still at the developing stage even after concluding bounty, some, it will take them like a year to get listed on any exchange, some will get listed quickly but keeps battling to stabilize the price on exchange, but the most important thing I always look for is if the team is still working towards achieving their primary goal, once I see the team is still active, then I have no issue been worried about my bounty reward because am sure one day it will pay off.

I do commend the person who posted this thread by having a ton of optimism and hope on this post. I personally didn't see any old bounty paying someone after 2-3 years of inactivity on the said bounty. Though I have heard of countless stories of bounty hunters getting paid very low value after spending long times on a bounty. With tens of thousands of bounty hunters, I would say that the experience of each is different from each other albeit all interesting. But only a select few would experience what you have described. I would say very, very rare.

They probably just want the investors to dump first before the bounty hunters will do.

But 100 times dropped? I think that token/coin will already become worthless before you can dump them. ;D

Yes, and I have also found cases like this on the bounty project, and it could be that the team deliberately delayed distribution for bounty participants so they could trade in the market from the token ration for the bounty, and after the demand began to decrease and the price continued to fall to the root, then they give tokens to bounty participants, and that is rubbish that is completely useless and obviously makes no sense.

Some projects take time to be developed and show it`s capability in crypto space, that is why there is such a word as HODL but most of them failed in the long run, you are lucky some the token that is only now yielding you profit. 

I have never met that case. There seems to be no project coming back to life after months of silence, most will be a failure to sell tokens and abandon the project or will be a scam. I was too familiar with the bad results so I got used to that. The best way is that we should record the list of projects that we have participated in and store it in an old file, if luck comes, we will still have money.

if you want to see the project is good maybe you can see developments in the first year their platform was released. although the start is not so good after distribution, sometimes after a long development. they show great potential by competing in a larger market.

You should remember if you were also saying about some projects but what about the rest? there was a lot of possibilities for that was become a crap project. we have seen a bunch of crap projects that were doing promotion for almost 1 year.
It doesn't mean the participant could also get their reward.

I know that and more projects are currently delaying distributing prizes to bounty participants. They wait until many people know and use their products so that the value of the project is better when it is on the market

You can never tell, projects you promoted years ago can still get launched and even abandoned projects still comes back to life, crypto is full of surprises sometimes, if you promote any project and they don't pay in time do not unfollow them on telegram and other channels you are asked to follow on bounty rules

Payments a few years after the end of the Bounty is something very rare. Usually, if they didn’t pay right away, then nobody will see anything, especially if it’s a decent reward. All this looks optimistic, but rather from the category of fairy tales.

This scenario was the exact thing that happened to me on Invox Finance.  This was a project I promoted back then in 2018. I've lost all hope on it even forgotten that I have such token in my wallet.  Just recently, Invox was listed on bancour exchange and week later it moon.  I was able to realise about $300 from it.  Never lose hope totally.

This is true, because I experienced this one also where the bounty project distributed my rewards a long time ago
on which is 2019 it was started then the exchange listing was just happened recently only were I had no idea that the price
of their token was increased and when I checked, it was all good to me and I got earned from it amounting 9.8 ETH
where for me was worth waiting anyhow.

I know such a project as Azbit. they distributed tokens for the bounty campaign to people's personal accounts and froze them. Participants of the bounty campaign have been waiting for rewards for more than a year and the still waiting. Such things happen and this is very strange decisions of the team

Most old projects that anyone had promoted, are likely to be closed or dead projects than resurrection. With the little experience I had back into days, many of these projects we promoted went into ashes without considered the plight of their investors. This causes many potential investors to leave the cryptocurrency industry. If you promote a project and the team refused to pay as the bounty hunter don't hope for it into the future.

sometimes it could happened but its rarely to even find it. they can just die instantly even after few months, unless the dev and community are still keep us updated with stuff then most of dying coins are just dying in the future or they have really bad prices.

I have done some projects in the past but haven't gotten anything in return because they have all went into their own shadows. My first campaign was not fortunate enough because it ended up as a scam project and was abandoned. Some other cryptocurrency projects I promoted went into the drain, for some to think they will be back, should have a rethink. Those projects are not be developing by their respective teams, because they're abandoned projects. Abandoned projects will not yield anything to it holders, not  even in a decade.

FYI JRT has been getting a lot of demand since it was started and it has successfully raised the funds from investors and that makes the project can easily attract the people to buy the JRT token. The different thing happened with another project too. It's very rare to see there was a project that can survive until this time and that means such a project has proper development progress.

That's right. This happened to me already. I received some tokens from Bounty I had subscribed to a year or two ago and I forgot them and then I was surprised by their access to my wallet. Likewise, there are some sites that I have subscribed to and forgot about my bounty. After a long time I entered my account and found the token in my account.
Anyway, I quit working in Bounty long ago because most of my tokens were worthless.

There are very rare projects as you said. I respect projects like that because they keep developing their projects in silent, lack of developing funds.

I don't think this might be an issue, the thing is scammers have trashed the bounty projects several times majority of the bounties use to be scammers I am saying this to everyone but many of them use to be also yes there are some good bounties where they are holding it without listing it only because to see a good price in the market. But bounty Hunters have got depressed working for all because they can't wait for months for the payment. So every bounty projects should come with a unique plan to resolve these type of issue..

Yes, I do believe that bounties which prices are down these days could still give us a good profit sooner or later. That is why I still holding my rewards until now especially the bounties which are successful.

Actually the best value one can gain from bounty and airdrop coins is if they hold them and let the initial phase pass where all the bounty hunters will sell off their coins and the coin will slowly begin to gain it's value. But the problem here is that most of the coins that are being given away in airdrops are useless and even the developers don't have any plans apart from just wait for exchanges to list them and sell off the coins.

But in rare cases if a genuine and well planned project launched their coin and they give away some coins to bounty hunters to help them promote it, then it is worth to just hold them for some time and you might very well be getting 20-30 times the value you would get if you sold with the initial listing of the coin.

True! I don't usually sell my rewards right after I receive them. The reason is that at that time the price of those tokens are too low and can't meet my demand. Therefore, instead of selling them, I choose to hold them for a little more time. I have the habit to do very careful researches before joining in any project, therefore, I have the faith that the project that I join can have better result if I wait!

And in the end, that altcoin collapsed hundreds of times. The reason for price protection and bounty distribution delays is bullshit. Like the blockburn campaign, they said that to protect prices, they will delay distribution for 9 months. And now the price has dropped nearly 200 times and many investors have lost money with it

But you will be lucky if you can encounter such project of that kind. Most bounties die down easily. Before joining one, look for the longevity of the project, the feasibility that the development will take long but the dev team will keep up with the project and not abandon it.

Blockburn (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5224340.0) is a scam. Don't you see the Trust rating of the BM? See also here that the same project is tagged Blockburn, probable scam (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0). My conclusion is that any project withholding distribution at a time like this that Bitcoin and the entire crypto industry is having a fair run, should be tagged as a scam. This isn't far from the truth.

You're right! It's too hard to encounter in projects like that! Most of the bounty projects are abandoned or dumped right after they successfully raise funds from investors. It's not unusual for that to happen. It makes sense if bounty hunters now lost their faith in bounty campaigns. However, as a bounty hunter, there's nothing much we can do but carefully choose the project to join!

Yes it's a living prove, some projects just wake up from their dead bed since 2018 after Bounty Hunters get their tokens, no development and everything became silent until this year and they get listed on exchanges, this is a lesson for bounty hunters who think that they've wasted their time on useless bounty projects.

Hard to believe, that the project after months and years passed after bounty campaign, still remember about bounty hunters and wish to spend money on fee to distribute rewards. All the bounty campaign expenses are counted as passed stage according to roadmap. So why return to the past, when they need to think about future.

In my practice, if you havent received your reward in half a year or a year, and the project keeps postponing distribution - forget about this project. If you have participated in their social media - delete all the tweets and posts and erase them from your memory.

Well sometimes it's happens. They will come back but don't expect that they would give big rewards but keep in mind that dead projects are totally dead, abandoned and will never get back! Bounties now adays will never be the same like 2 years ago.

Yeah, chances for the developing team to comeback and pay still possible, sometimes they pay then disappeared and then came back and enlist the coin to some small exchange.


It's no longer the same as wayback few years ago, most of those who scammed away are  already been forgotten.

This will change the mind of some bounty hunters who always get angry at the shitcoins they have laying around in their wallets, some even find untraceable addresses and send away the shitcoins, not all dead projects will rise again and not all shitcoins will turn into new leave but it's better to keep than throwing them away, no one knows tomorrow

Back then we had a good number of projects, manageable number of bounty hunters and only a very few scammers. Things changed starting from mid-2018. The number of bounty hunters have increased on a massive scale, and along with that scammers have also expanded their operations. And the worst part is that at the same time the number of projects have gone down.

Aa long as it is still paying, even late the project wouldn't be getting a bad reputation, especially when it is handled by a trusted bounty manager. Sometimes delayed rewards may have some few problems, or maybe the market isn't yet stable, so the team decided to delay their distribution.

Sounds true, it doesn't cost a thing to let your tokens stays in your wallet for years, they can make a comeback any time, moreover bounties only cost you your time and energy, no fund losses here

I noticed that all the time.From bounty managers to project developers.They are all in favor of not paying the hunters.If you pay like this.This, of course, is good news. However, such payments are rare.But the payment certainly inspires work.

I have had a couple of coins of late do a late bloomer thing. One of them is ESH or known as SWITCH. Around a year or more ago I did a video on it and then lo and behold a year later we not only see the token price go up a bit but they airdropped all of us GHOST coin and I found like 180 bucks worth of this free coin airdropped by SWITCH into my Eth wallet. That was a really nice surprise to see that extra money land into my wallet very unexpectedly. So you never know which coin will give you a home run.

no one knows the future, but I don't believe in projects that have been abandoned by developers, they can come back again, because they have cheated and certainly no one will ever trust their projects again, there are some tokens that I still keep and I do not throw it away, it still remains in the wallet, I also do not expect much they will come back again

Just like what you said, old bounty sometimes still pays bounty hunters. I saw it in 2019, I promoted a few projects but they ended up in silence. In 2019 they returned to IEO and succeeded, then the bounty hunter received a reward after more than 1 year of waiting

I think its not what they want that way, they might struggle in the process but it end up with good news. I'm wondering if the reward is worth of waiting. Good campaigns really paid their participants and if they will not process with the payment we knew that this will give them headaches and bad reputations as well as bad feedback about the project. Bounty participants need to get what they deserve for and they promote their project very well especially if the project was end up successfully. Its been 2 months since the last campaign that I joined with but they still not give the payouts to their participants. I just wait and just always update what are the process of our payment.

That is so true I remember I last worked for some HADA bank tokens and they just never even completed their ICO if I remember it correctly because there are some coins that are just joke literally and they will post an ANN attract some bounty people to promote them for free and hope to raise money for the ICO, if they are able to raise money that is a bonus if they cannot they still never paid anyone from their pocket and their coins are worthless anyways.

Rare might be a optimistic word because now a days the situation is so dire that I would call there is a scarcity of such projects which will give out free tokens and then they are able to build their project and make the price pump.

You are right that many bounty managers do not pay the project developers even after their project is successful. Such as- DigitalBits project. On the other hand, it takes a long time to set up some projects, then bounty hunters and investors get frustrated. But as a hunter of bounty you need to have a lot of patience.

Yes, I have also seen that there are many bounties that has actually pain in very late. One of that I can mention here is the Raise which paid the bounty after 1 and half year later. But I get paid very small qty. of token by Raise.

I began to participate in bounty companies somewhere in the middle of 2017 and I continue to participate in them until now. Indeed, there are bounty companies that have long ended, but I still hope that they will pay and I will make good money. Of course there is no 100% grant that everything will work out for me, but I do not lose faith and just wait for possible success. There were already such bounty companies that paid in a year and I was able to earn. The only thing I do not think is that it will be a lot of money, on the contrary, it will probably be a little money, but I will be happy with it.

Yes this is true some developers who have conscience will still pay bounty hunters who promoted their project nomatter how long the project takes to succeed. i did one bounty July last year and payment came may this year and it was worth the wait.
 Thanks to some sincere developers who recognize the time and resources invested by bounty hunters in carrying out their tasks.

It's a lucky if the long-ended bounty campaign pays only after 1-2 years. Even some campaigns when ICO/IEO is finished will not immediately give rewards to bounty hunters for various reasons, until finally participants do not get the results of their work. I still remember a project that only sent a few tokens/coins and didn't pay in full, after a few months they continued to send in the end they left for no apparent reason.

It doesn't happen all the time but there are times that some bounties after a long time come back to pay bounty participants. Some projects may not go on exchange immediately and for this reason they may refuse to pay because they don't want their token tonne render useless. After some time, they might come back to pay.

Well, there are really some cases that past bounties are unexpectedly being alive from being silent or asleep for months or even years but still there is no assurance that the ones you were holding right now do still stand a chance to pay you a really big reward for this year. Holding your coins for too long since the last time that you have got it from bounty can just sometimes give you false hope of wondering that those can still give you a chance to earn big rewards. Sometimes there are bounties that yes, are still payable but most of them are already dead so you better get rid of them already. Storing coins for too long are really not essential (on my part) that is why whenever I see that there is no already chance for that coin, I make way to get rid of it so that I can already move on and forget already. Although there can be possibility that it can give rewards, still do not expect too much because why would it take too long for the rewards to come? For years? That was already a long time for that. But if ever that your bounty have paid you for work you have done before and still manage to wait for it and have claimed your reward after a long time, then that's great coz you're lucky and bless if ever that happened to you.

I came to understand that good project which didn't meet up their goals when they drop off the market and later on pick again they come with full force. HODLING good project is a future rewarding sacrifice.

You might later be happy that they came back, but the experience most times is not always good. Imagine if all projects should do that, it means that bounty hunters will get tired of promoting projects. In fact, those coming in newly will easily get discouraged. Also, not every one of them eventually come back.

there are rarely such projects, from my experience, projects that haven't paid in a long time are disappearing slowly and don't come back and there are also some projects that don't pay but they are still on the market and their coin prices are quite high

Alright, I'll give a little of my experience about this. I once promoted the project 2 years ago and until now I did not get my prize or there are tokens that are still not listed on the exchange. I don't know if it's a scam or I've gotten junk coins that I got from bounties. indeed, not everything I promote in the last year ended in fraud but waiting a long like that is very I frustrating. I never underestimate the project that I am promoting but if that's it really pays and is listed in the market.

They will give the reward after a year or two of not being active? Didnt heard a projects do that so yes if there is such, then its rare because base on my experience those projects who didnt pay or turn their coins to shitcoins are dead forever.

If they return and continue their project for good then that would be great but dont have high expectation with these projects.

It is true sometimes it would take time for a crypto to get a great value it would take time to develop and build some trust for the investor to invest in their token/coin.
We just take everything for granted and think that everything would still be the same as it was back in 2017 when some of the bounties already have a good price after they distribute it.

Many projects were postponed and I haven't found the project as you intended. For me, the project I encountered was a project that was delayed and ended in failure. But the project is over but they don't directly provide payment. Payments are sometimes done 1 year later like CGCX.
If we participate in various Bounty projects, we certainly shouldn't leave the Telegram channel. For me, it would be very important to continue to get project progress information, including about payment claims.

This has happened many times and we can't but say the blockchain is for the  patient and is rewarding. any project can pay not minding how long it can take.

I don't know if that could be called lucky for bounty hunters. Project with that kind behavior makes them look very unprofessional and bounty hunters are at their mercy. Showing their project won't go far if they keep that kind of behavior.

You're right, there were many projects far back as 2017/2018 that I have even lost all hopes on it.  Many of them I have tagged them as decorative tokens/coins.  All of a sudden some of them just got listed at good price even beyond my expectations.  I've really learnt you don't just lose hope completely on any project especially the one still undergoing development.

I have a different experience. I've started to participate in bounties in 2018. Back in the past, even if the project was a scam, it still sends tokens. And I have (had) lots of them. From time to time, I check these tokens if they are listed or not. Not a surprise, they are still not listed, and projects barely follow road map. I'm not losing a hope that someday these tokens will cost at least something. But I guess I will forget or lose my private key faster than they get listed.

Totally agree. Actually the most rewarding bounty campaign I had joined was from a bounty I did years back. Thinking that it was a scam because of the very long delay and slow development of the project I forgot about it and moved on. I was really surprised when at last they gave stakes and the equivalent value was very big.

In my few years of participating in bounty campaign, I haven't really experienced delay in payment of rewards. My experience has been delay in listing on exchanges, and I think this is peculiar to most bounty hunters

New projects can go silent for a year or two and make a good return to launch and list their token but not all of them, I prefer to promote a bounty project that's already listed and trading on an exchange than waiting for so long to see a project get listed before I will be able to sell my tokens

I think that in 2018-2019 there are many fraudulent projects and maybe only some good projects but sometimes unexpected. for example the SESSIA project, at that time the selling price of Sessia tokens was in the range of $ 8.98 and has now fallen dramatically in the range of $ 0.1. You can compare them, because not all tokens can last a long time or have high selling points.

I understand the points you mean...
I think it's just luck, I haven't gotten a token from the ICO project that hasn't paid for the past 2 years but 3 months ago I got a token from the airdrop that I have been following for a long time. for example, the ezystayz project handled by the bounty detective, in 2018 they once held a bounty campaign which was handled by the bountyhive but until now they have not paid for my work when the project was handled by the bountyhive.

I think it is possible, because we never know what will happen in the future about the project.
If the project listed on top exchanges later, then the bounty hunters must be got a decent reward.
My advice, if we get the reward and the price is peanut, don't sell it, just hold it.

Is it really happening? If so, then obviously this is a scam project and I believe that this bounty will be the same. They will never distribute bounty to participants

When you finished a bounty Campaign don't look back, you can check telegram group for updates but don't rely on the project, this is crypto space where anything can happen to a project, I waited for a project to pay after a year and I got denied of my reward, that's after a year, what if I waited only for this project

I see that there are some projects that have just paid bounty hunters after 1 or 2 years later and that is very much appreciated because they do not just forget about bounty hunters who also help promote the project.

Indeed it hurts bounty hunters if the distribution is too long and unclear. I hope the project will really think about and determine the distribution of tokens to bounty hunters clearly so that there is no unfair feeling.

Once a project Campaign is over find another good one and keep working, some projects will disappoint you and some will pay very late, might be months or years but do not worry, just keep working, if things works out fine you will receive your tokens and if not then life goes on.

That's right, if those projects are still distributed to bounty hunters, I believe they are good and growing projects. Sadly for the current projects, they have listed the exchanges but find every reason to delay the bounty distribution.

Some bounty campaigns really take a lot of time before giving the reward or even the duration of the whole campaign. There are projects that takes a month but most of them takes a long period of time and other extend their campaign so that they reach the desire amount that they collect. I remember the campaign that I joined that they still pay even it takes all most half a year after the campaign and there is also a campaign that gives the reward partially to accumulate the price of the token. I get used to it, in joining bounty campaign you also need to be patience and always smart.

I totally sad for this word distribution will be start after IEO/ICO because it's thrre fake promise and they'll cheat many hunter. Every strong project want distribution after end of there bounty program because they have own power and never upset for bounty token.

It's better to start doing research on reputable bounty managers in this forum and also watch out for stablecoin paying bounty campaigns or Bitcoin paying bounty campaign, to avoid not getting paid you can follow bounty detective, the value of the token after isn't the fault of bounty detective, hope you understand that

Late bounties will only pay you well if you somehow get into those with poor or low participation. If that happens then there is a great chance of profiting decently from them due to the low participation. If that isn't the case then it becomes very difficult to gain any meaningful rewards by participating late. Since most hunters will have earned majority of the allocated tokens.

Definitely they do in most cases and the rewards are sometimes profitable. The only challenge there is that majority of the bounty participants would have exited the telegram channels of such projects before rewards are being released and by so doing may not benefit from it. It is always good to know the objectives and future prospects of project before one decides to participate in it so that if their is any need to wait for long, one will not hesitate to do so.It is also important to note that the fact that a project pays reward late does not mean it will be a profitable one as everything depends on the value of the project coin and sometimes on the kind of exchange in which the coin is listed.

This is a good advice, a perfect warning for bounty hunters who are lacking patience, projects might take time to launch but always be on look out and don't stop following the project social media accounts, if you stop following they might distribute a year later and you will miss

still have to be thankful if you still get paid for the old bounty, many people do not get paid and hit by fraud, that's like that.
its better paid late than not paid at all.

That should be ironic. Thanking them can boost their morals to do more, but I see no reason in doing that. I actually did receive something similar to that. I took it and moved on. Well, I was not really moved because I had already settled that in my mind that it's gone. So seeing it was just a mere plus. 

But our resources are into the bounty mate, though this is the truth about the whole thing, keeping those tokens for wallets doesn't cost us anything than to regret in the short time. Those dead projects tokens might not come back 100% but some good project will definitely bounce back, this time the project will swiftly come to us as profits. Personally, am still keeping my tokens till this time and hoping for a better tomorrow for them.

waiting for bounty payment which we have promoted 1 or 2 years ago in my opinion is a fortune because in reality many bounties that we support in the past have disappeared and are not paying bounty hunters

I can't say of 2 years ago, but three of the presumably dead tokens I got from bounty campaigns early last year are giving me joy at the moment. Mind you, I had these tokens in my wallet. If bounty of two years ago didn't reward you then, forget it. They won't do so now even when the market is favourable.

Lucky for you I'd say. Not many projects can have that kind of miracle to attain good value in the market. Most of them are usually abandoned by their respective developers. But if you see that the team keeps on developing no matter what the situation is. Then I guess there's hope for that project. Otherwise, there's no chance that they can revive the dead project.

Like many startups, 90% of which die without taking their first steps along with investor money. We have a very similar situation, only our crypto startups first have to raise money, and only then try to realize themselves, otherwise they die even earlier than ordinary startups. Therefore, the fact that most of them do not pay funds is not surprising, 95% of them are simply not able to take place at the stage of fundraising.

look at dclinic and now rebranding to vic reward, its already run for 2 years and there is no sign the bounty will distributed. they just said soon soon and soon, and another example was current that managed by amazix .it also run more two years. maybe we need more patience to received it.

Well, there are some bounties that don't pay like bitwings right now. at present, bitwings are nearing their deadline to promise to distribute tokens for bounty payments. if the price will be worth later, I will believe that delaying the payment of the bounty is not always detrimental.

Very hard to believe isn't it? But it is still possible, I've heard from different members on here about how long it could take a project to get launched and still distribute their tokens to bounty hunters after few years of waiting, it's just better to focus on other projects instead of waiting

It's best to never rely on any bounty project, once you are through with their bounty go ahead and promote another, you can never tell which one will do fine or become successful later, do not rely on any, it's for your own convenient of mind

In this situation, it can be said very simply that hope always dies last. we can only hope for good results from the work of the developers. I've been expecting rewards from ClinTex and MODU for almost over 2 years now, which still seem to be very active projects.

It is a good advice, try to join as many bounty as possible. And don't rely too much on the projects that have gone through, if they pay for it it will surely go to our wallet

I myself often receive payment for a project when the bounty project that I follow has forgotten, but basically we still have to monitor the project before we receive the payment.

2 years is a long time, of course there is no potential for the team to pay the bounty participants' work amounts.  But if one year is still there is high hope for bounty participants to receive the results of their work.  I think there is a joke because in every project distributing reward bounties only runs for a month or a year.

I have never experienced waiting for bounty project payments for 2 years and I feel that during those 2 years there was no news and developments from the project, then it can be said that the project was a scam. Do not get your hopes up on payments from projects that don't go according to the roadmap, and I don't think there are projects that have roadmaps, paying bounty hunters after 2 years. I have never known and maybe it was there, who knows..

Don't put hope on bounties, not until you receive tokens and sell, some bounty Projects you promote this year will get listed coming year, some won't give up the rewards until after a year, this is why its not good to rely on any project

sometimes I feel disappointed when the project that I promote doesn't go to give payment to the bounty hunter, but late payment is better than nothing.

Most of the times the tokens are dumped in the market taking the price of the token very very down even before the end of the bounty campaign and the hunters are not given any chance to hold those coins as those tokens are about to die when the hunters receive the tokens. I would never advise to hold these kind of tokens whose market value drops more than half after start of the bounty till the end of the bounty as these are completely shit coins and should never be held for long in your wallet.

It is clear that such a project is a scam, payment for 2 years is a long time meaning that we are in vain in doing promotional work there, I have not expected the old distribution project and there is no development at all.

Yes, of course, because paying participants to the bounty campaign will give a good reputation for the projects promoted, so it can be concluded that bounty campaign participants have a part to make the best contribution and make the project get a lot of money so they have to be able to appreciate the bounty campaign participants who have done the assignments.

Nowadays old projects are the ones paying hunters awesome rewards, old projects done 2018-2019 are coming up and most are currently doing well on exchange. Bounty hunting is good, just keep working, pay day is definitely coming.

I agree with you, I was surprised when I found out that WPP, which is a bounty I did around two years ago was making a good trade in some exchange. It was like a dream come true to finally let those tokens go. I Laboured for that project for about 6 months and was able to cash out over $200 in total.

The real risk after receiving is finding that the actual value of the coin was already been dumped completely, if there's some projects who gave some good value, it's rare and it's really a big luck for those hunters to get a well deserved rewards.

Late bounties that gave this kind of opportunities really things positive to those who patiently waiting.

Yes, it's usually like that but it depends on the project that you are taking part in. as I know that in 2018-2019 there were many projects that were SCAM, they didn't pay until now and even those projects felt dead. but it's fortunate if you also receive tokens from the project in 2018.

Yes, I agree with you, but if the project is late for paying the bounty hunters in the specified time, maybe there are problems they face or perhaps this is the fault of the Bounty Manager and not the project’s fault, then I advise the bounty hunters to choose the manager of the bounty with good trusts, and if the project does not pay, this means that it is a scam project and everyone involved in promoting it must warn investors.

true, many 2019 projects scam out of dozens of lists that I noted almost 40% end up scam they pay bounty tokens but tokens only become collections on ethereum wallet, 2018 projects have indeed delayed many bounty payments but to date they still pay a lot of rewards and also 2018 bounty tokens were mostly successfully registered in the exchange and still survive.

It really depends on the projects that bounty hunters participate in. From several bounty dramas during 2018-2019 that I followed, the scenario is:

• rewards are distributed but there is no further development of listing on the exchange, in the first and second months the dev team is still active, but after a long time they disappear, there are no more responsive responses, the telegram group then becomes a den of spammers, then the group is locked, and that's the end.
• reward is locked or distribution delayed and there is no definite time. The first one to two months the dev team is still actively responding to questions, but gradually disappears. The telegram group was locked and they finally disappeared without clarity.

Then what can be expected from the two scenarios above, no?
Another case if the project is still making progress and the dev team is still active in providing information updates. In giving hope, we should look at the situation and conditions. I also hope, the bounty reward that I get throughout 2018-2019 can provide a big surprise, because I see a pretty good move lately.

OP has been giving the best example and mostly scam projects happened in 2019 while this year people have already realized about how to identify the crap project. It looks like scammer has no room to launch scam project again. I hope this will be the end for scammer.

There are a lot of olf bounties a few year backs who strived to develop the project despite the current market situation which made a huge come back. I still have some bounty rewards which were from the old bounties that I check from time to time or get an update to see if the team is still active. However, the case is different if bounties were not paid on time or late for a year or so, there is nothing to expect.

Joined a campaign last 2018, I waited for it to have value since I have no choice because of the sluggish response of the team to apply on an exchange, it's not  quite rewarding but I really hold on to that token and bought some in the Etherdelta "Unofficial exchange" was one of the top coin holder of this certain coin, still waiting for it to gain its momentum. :)

This is so true! We all want a miracle to happen, but a miracle doesn't happen anywhere at any time. People all hope that on a beautiful day they check and they got paid. However, if a bounty campaign doesn't pay on time without any notifications and actions from the team, it's most likely to be a scam project. What you should do with a scam bounty is to move on from them,  do not waste your time expecting they will pay you any penny!

like op said we dont know if they will comeback . it wont hurt you if you will wait but also dont expect  . expecting and waiting are both different based on my own vocabulary 

. its more thrilling if the bounty are paying you late than compare to if you already recieve your payments on time but the coin dont have or only have a small value   . so far i only see a bounty that make a comeback in terms of  price where they pump after some months but i havent witnessed a campaign that cameback to pay their participants  .

This is kinda refreshing to read. Some projects from two years ago still have next to nothing value coins, but some still rise their values even two years late.

Many projects have been successful after 1-2 years of silence and disappear from the market. But they didn't make distribution and ignored it, I have met many similar projects and very few projects will pay bounty hunter after 2 years.

Bounties are completely unpredictable, sometimes they vanish without coming back and sometimes they come back after few years, whatever happens it's all good, don't just always expect good news as a bounty hunter

Maybe it could really happen, but I must say that these are few rare cases.
Some may say that it is a technique of the project moderator but most of the time delays and unresponsiveness of the team is an indication of a scam.
Many instances also happened where participants are only paid at first wave of the project then none anymore.

Of course late bounties are cool. I recently took good profit from BZRX. A bounty of two years and counting. Once the team are good with their project it always pay off over time.

It actually happens and yes it is a rare case. I have a friend of mine who actually received his bounty after a year, even after his thoughts that the project is already a scam since there are no exchanges, the coin has no value and considered as shitcoin. But then after looking at his wallet, he sees that it finally has a value.

It caused by the developer has a very strong vision to develop the project. JRT has become the best coin that paid the hunters a year after that ico but it is also being trading in a high price too. each of hunters has already earned a few thousand dollars.

Unfortunately, I did not come across such scenarios in my bounty life. But you are correct. We should not leave their telegram channel or any announcement medium as we do not know when new updates will come which can affect our investment in that project. Many perform swapping and if investors are not aware of it, they completely lose their money.
I am awaiting two project bounties which will be very late. BURN tokens. The latest update is that payment is after 6 months after bounty ended. Hope it will not get extended again. Second I am awaiting from Juiice. 18 months after the end of their IEO ::) Not sure if the project itself will exist for 18 months. ;)

I've received my bounty reward from a bounty campaign I participated almost a year ago and that reward is still worthless because it still has no value.

things like this can happen, but if it has been years since you have received no news when the distribution of the bounty is most likely a scam, it is different if they have distributed the bounty but have not been listed on the stock exchange because of several factors maybe it is worth waiting for its miracle.

For several years I joined the bounty, never getting paid from a project that I had promoted 2 years ago. Even though
there are those who experience promotion projects in 2018 and finally get rewards in 2020, surely the numbers are very
few and rare. The conclusion is that it is possible that late bounty projects can pay good rewards, we do have to be patient.

Yeah there are many projects like these, don't ever leave a campaign where the team are still active even if they were not able to list their coins/tokens in any exchange base on their road map
because there is a big chance that they are devising a new strategy on how to market their project correctly even if it will take years for them to complete.

And as a bounty hunters, being patient is the most important for us though it is very hard also as we also spend our time and effort but in the end of the campaign we were not able to get anything base on our expectation.
But if the team of that projects are already leaving and most of the their social channels are dead then you cannot hope for that project to give you a reward even if it will take decades. 

crypto market in 2018 and 2019 may be a bear market so they prefer to remain silent rather than market their products, of course it will make them bankrupt quickly, in 2020 at this time if all crypto markets recover, I think they will come back again this year considering crypto market is on the rise and recovering, there are some old projects coming back to life and paying for our previous jobs as bounty participants

It's caused by you have participated into the crap campaign. OP has mentioned JRT and each of participant has been getting more than 10k USD right now and the only good project that can give you a lot of money like that.

You are making sense, I have always thought of it too, that many of my token were at good value during the 2017 bull run, but they are so valueless now, I kept believing that since I have seen it high then it is still coming back, only for those that are yet to get into exchange, I hope there won't be a  manipulation. You made another good point that we should not leave the telegram page and I see it so thoughtful of you.

I have experienced this, but not all projects. Only a few, because the development took so long to take years. So now they have finished and paid the bounty participants and even better, the project is immediately listed on the exchange. But keep in mind, don't get your hopes up too much.

I don't like bounties that takes too long to distribute rewards to bounty hunters, some even take years, that's very annoying, there is nothing you can do to turn things around than to always carry on, do not relent once you are through with a bounty project

On the other hand, some campaigns force you to wear the signatures and stay in their groups etc or you forfeit tokens so this is one way of blackmailing people to stay and inflate numbers and presence,,, for me you stay as long as you were supposed to, and if payment does not come, the project should be flagged.

Then again,,, I think people should just give up on all these fake projects and their false promises. They are the reason for the big winter.

I don't beleive this thing and have never seen projects like that before. They let us keep garbage and hope for a long time. I had experienced with some projects like this , so now I don't put too much emphasis on what I will be received anymore

It's why I don't like new projects that hasn't been listed on exchanges yet, they take too much time to launch and getting listed again will take extra time like months, it's better to promote projects that are trading like Oikos Project or ARCS from bounty detective

Being a bounty hunter needs to have patience because it doesn't mean that the bounty program of a project has ended, they should now payout or reward their participants as soon as possible. It really doesn't go that way because it takes a lot of process for them to get listed in an exchange for your token to have a value, before they distribute it to their bounty hunters. So don't blame the new projects who makes late distribution.

I do not understand why they would distribute it when their token has no value. I, like you, this year I have received a few tokens from the bounty that I have joined since early 2019, they said that the token will soon be listed in exchanges but so far nothing has happened.

It's normal for old projects that you thought was dead get launched and pay up, always expect the unexpected but the part thing you don't want to do as a bounty hunter is to stop following the group of the projects they've promoted because the bounty project looks dead

That's different, some times when you are seeing it was a trusted project and it will be paid the hunters a year after the launch of the project we can't call that as a shit scam project but in another case, a crap project that has been showing an indication if they will not pay the hunters will never pay the reward.

The year 2017-2018 was a great time for bounty. If someone can take advantage of that time and join the bounty then I believe they will get a lot of money from it. At the present time there is too little good bounty, if they are silent then the project has turned into a scam or died.

Very true!!! Thats the year were almost all bounty partcipants in different campaigns and airdrops got huge reward. Im one of the thousands bounty partcipants who profited from bounties were i have my own house

Don't  be a giving up bounty hunters, if a project disappoints you just go for other, remember that a disappointed project today still have a chance to surprise you tomorrow, it's crypto space for all I care, opportunities all around

It can still happen, but I think only a few projects are successful after a long period of hibernation. If there is any bounty that does not make payment after 6 months then I think you should forget about it and look for other campaigns. Don't rely too much on those projects because they won't be able to develop in the future

A very strong project never accept long term for bounty/airdrop payment even if there was step by step guide. If a project keep promising 1-2 month then don't disappoints because they will paid confirm. Otherwise if a project make announced 1-2 year for bounty payment then never trust and keep forget it.

You are absolutely correct, those that did swipe $swp bounty in 2018 and are still holding can truly testify to this, that's why it's not a good idea to sell your bounty token for a penny. Lots of couple other bounties that are now yielding good reward after several years

Although this is true, but it is only 1 out of 10 projects that will end up this way. There are different case scenarios in this issue; there are many projects which delayed reward and then the project becomes worthless that the team had to abandon it. There are also many projects which delayed reward and when it was paid, it was already trash. There are also projects which will delay reward, keep extending it and then refuses to pay hence coming up with unprovable excuses. In the same way, there are still projects which will delay the reward and when they finally want to pay, they will slash the reward badly that it ends up being trash. Thus, it can be seen that there many case scenarios in this particular issue, hence the reason I said only 1 out of 10 projects will delay and it will pay off in a good way.

I believe the surprise rewards in the future even it is difficult to do better since I was in this world I will lose more if I leave I think I will endure to the best of my ability to gain even a little profit at that amount I think my efforts feel awards.

Totally agree with you. The most rewarding bounty I have joined was those who distributed the rewards to participants after years the campaign had ended. Actually I totally forgot about the project and was surprised their distribution appeared in my wallet. Much more surprising is that seeing the equivalent was very big compared to what I am usually receiving from many bounties.

I haven't seen any bounty that pause the payment and then send the payment to the hunters 2 years later.
But i have seen several bounties, sent the payment and the reward was not much, but one year later the project is success and their token price increase. Bounty reward should be paid to hunters after the campaign ended, otherwise no one will trust the manager.

After the payment is stopped the project is marked as scam by the community which is not a good sign actually and you should always consider paying the bounty participants first before the other tasks as they are the backbone of a project when it comes to marketing and bringing the project in front of the eyes of potential investors and other general public. If I were a team member then I would definitely raise my voice in favor of bounty participants and will definitely ask to give them the priority. Most campaigns blame the bounty participants for dumps but if the project is good then in the long run it will definitely rise again and even be more profitable.

Absolutely true, this has been happening since the beginning and we have witnessed many bounty campaigns which had taken time but in the end, they had paid the bounty rewards. As a bounty hunter, we have learned one thing and that is patience and therefore we are prepared for situations like this one.

I am totally in full support of that. Most of the times we think if a project delays its reward for participants it then means that the project is not valid. Often times it may not be like that. There are some projects that due to the good vision they have for their investors, they will love to partner with many other agencies that can support the vision of the project of which this may take time sometimes before seen reliable ones. Recently, I got to know of a project that I have already written off coming out with an impressive plan on their telegram.

I've never seen bounties like that, I've only seen projects trying to delay token distribution. They said that because of price protection and they will hold them for 6 months or a year, there are a lot of projects like that this year and it made me extremely annoyed.

Even little rewards at least we have, for me I understand on what the fact because it is hard to distribute with the rewards, I think this kind of problem is normal , we can expect good rewards from none legitimate or legit bounty campaign, so just try and try in the long run I think we gain more benefits.

yes, it is also true that in 2018 there were still many profitable bounty projects, many participants pocketed thousands of dollars from bounties. but for now it's much different like in 2018, I personally only got $ 50 last while promoting a 1 month project. lucky for those of you who still get dollars from the results of projects in 2018

I've received bounty rewards even after six months of time. Those are very happy moments to receive the reward, some even paid good sum of tokens which has grown high once on getting listed on exchanges. Some bounty tokens went unused as there isn't no exchange to trade it off. This way bounties too luck depending at times.

Today's bounty is so sad, you are told to work extra, but the prizes given are so little or even 0.

It is as if the project makers only want free promotion without wanting to pay for the work of bounty hunters.

Perhaps such projects exist, but I'm not so lucky yet. I have never received coins unexpectedly from projects in which I participated a year or two ago. So, I'll wait more (lol).

For me, the most important thing is not to leave the official telegram because there is a lot of information that can be taken for trading analysis. Most of the developers provide leaked updates of their projects on telegram and it can most likely affect the price in their coin market. Meanwhile, if you have to wait 2 years, it depends on each bounty hunter, I am more concerned with what the developer plans to do.

Most of the bounties that did a u-turn yo continue already have what they have been building on before they stopped. They only came back to continue.
Such project will definitely still gain recognition.

I have encountered projects like this. Just like what you said Some projects pays their participants after the project Become successful that’s why bounties are delayed. Participants who encountered like this thought that the project was scam because their bounties didn’t distributed on time.

Right, this is the reality we feel right now, We as Bounty Hunters must be extra careful when choosing the Bounty project that we will participate in, it's better to join a bounty managed by a trusted bounty manager, because they are sure to select which projects are good for them to manage.

If a project developers don't pay bounty reward according to the distribution schedule and making excuses about it then it's clearly means that they're not willing to pay and we must not have too much expectations at all but somewhere your point is correct to not leave their telegram groups and channels if the project is still active until we get clear answer about bounty payment.

Yes they still pay but the value is not reward. It is really hard to exchange because there no value, that’s why it is really hard to find bounties that you’ll gain some. They are paying in right time but when the projects done the value is not that called reward.

IT is true that some bounties are paying in very late eve after 2 years but the reward they are paying has no value or a very little value if they are conducted any swap program in their smart contract establishing new. Recently, I got Gric Coin amounted 48,000 and according to the present market price it should be valued as more than $3,000. But, while I faced trouble and contacted the project owner, he said to me that it is the old coin and presently it has no value and you have to make it swap for the new coin. And, the new coin amounted only 100GC in return of this 48000GC. I got disappointed.

It's not wise to wait for a bounty project to send your reward after you finish promoting them, there is a possibility of not getting anything back so better move on with other bounty projects available, you can never tell which will favour you

Yes, actually they can but in my expereince that does not mean that they are honest bunch of people.

I got an late payout from QuickX, in the last moment those as**holes divded the bounty to half for no reason but that did not help and their token now is shit, haha.

the absolute worst late payout was from ParamountDax who are total scammers and fraudsters, they had a small KYC window ,they did not even send emails abou tit and then they divded the bounty by 10! Stay away from Paramountdax, horrible people.

Well this is good for you if there's still some bounties paying late to the participants. Because I have known here many participants did not get any rewards from the bounty. They haven't received for their effort in promoting the project. It's a rare case after 2 years they have time to get paid those who joined them.

Please take your time before joining any new campaign. So many projects paid to bounty hunters which projects were finished this year. Now I'm very serious about selecting new projects. Probably I haven't any campaigns for 2018 year but two projects for 2019 could be paid this year. Last year's campaign "Alchemy'" will be paid. These types of projects paid good rewards.

I have seen so many bounty campaigns out there, where the duration is increased mid way. Initially they would say that the campaign would run for one or two months. And after this period, they will make an announcement that the duration has been increased and everyone needs to stay on the campaign if they want to receive the reward. And despite the increase in duration, the bounty pool remains the same in most cases.

It is more like this kind of case is really rare. Only a few people have experienced the same thing before. Because if the project take to give the rewards for that long, there seems to be no hope at all. Bounty hunters will just move on and forget about the project instead of having a high hopes of receiving their rewards even after a couple of years.

There is a rare chance to get profit from old projects that were joined before 1 or 2 years back, most of the project that was joined are gone and dead. You can expect 1 or 2 projects out of 100 maybe can give you a good reward, but most of them not active, and their telegram also marked spam and people using their telegram to post spam posts.

i got 2 bounties way back 2018 which is I did not expect to have value this 2020. I almost forget it as one of them has their own wallet.If the project is a good one even it will take years to get their value then not a problem. My effort was paid off  ;D

I guess this is okay what the important is they sent us their payment. There are so many reasons why sometimes project give their rewards to bounty promoters late, and whatever reason is that for me I will wait, as long as the coins can be sold in the market and have good value.

It would be two side of the story, either pay even bounty ended long ago or not paying at all because the team have  no plans to do so and just want to make excuses. It would be a great news to have projects like that who are really pays and fulfill promises to hunters. Other side than that i do recall  Digitalbits refused to pay hunters even 1 year had passed what they promise until they keep making promises and just making excuses. In the end hunters got nothing, time and effort wasted. 

So your case proves OP's point that there is indeed late bounty payment in crypto and we should never leave a project as long as they gave out a promise that they will pay.

  I have witnessed something close to this , but mine was a year later . I did a bounty early 2019 and they only paid early 2020 . the only good things was that the value of their token was worth it and i made close to a thousand dollar  from that bounty . some some delayed bounties do pay off.

This happens a lot, some forgotten bounties, come back after a year to pay hunters and hunters gets good rewards, cos as at the time of distribution, token would have done well and become more profitable. I still expect more old bounties to pay tho.. Hopefully they do. But if the don't, we move on. Lol.

It seems to me that the situation should not be overestimated. The vast majority of projects that have not paid those who have promoted them for two or more years will never do it. I do not know of a single case when this happened. You can hope for a miracle, but it's stupid. Don't expect anything. Forget about your negative experiences and move on.
This will be the best thing you can do to avoid looking like someone who has grown old in anticipation of an award.

It becomes common now. In every pump, I noticed several projects revive again and start making big steps. This year it is happening with many projects. People did bounty in 2017-2018 and forgot the token because the token becomes valueless after a period, but right now projects like WPP, Spark coin came back and pumped insanely! One of my colleagues bought 13$ worth WPP coin and that became 1150$ months ago! After seeing my friends' income from dead bounty coins, I start checking my old wallets, lol! I think this will happen more in the real bull run, so, check your wallet regularly!

I almost forgot about the EZ Exchange, which finished last November. I believe that this project could be good for hunters even though they change the allocation from signature. A good feature of development is so easy as we deserve. I can't ignore myself from mentioning the names of Jarvis token and mb8coin. We can't imagine how much we paid for these late paid projects.

yeah it will still pay you, but some of them still worthless. i joined a bounty from late 2018 and they give me my rewards in the end of 2019. but the token is still not listing in any exchanges till now. they keep postponing to listing on exchanges with a lot of excuses. now, they use covid19 for excuses to keep postponing which i think it doesn't make any sense.

Yes, although there is some project still hold on the promise of late paying, the majority of others don't. It was just their way to delay and scot-free from a due payment for the bounty campaign. I think bounty hunters don't get hope up over low possibly like that.

Yes, I have seen projects taking long time before sending the reward tokens but personally I think the reward tokens should be sent as soon as possible. There is alternative way to avoid transfer or selling of reward tokens where the project team can lock the transfer of reward tokens for the desired time through smart contracts.

With my observation of bounty over the years, I realized that bounties that pay late rewards never contain a consistent return because in the amount of time we wait, the project's team and investors dumped the project and divided its value into multiple times, very few projects could be pumped back and of course, we missed out on the best stage, the one where we received the reward, the value could be less than the deposit fee. Instant rewards have an advantage when the value doesn't drop too many times

How many projects hold on the promise and pay eventually after years in limbo, tho? You must have known that only a few legit projects fulfill their promise while the rest don't. Should you treat every late bounty like that? Waiting for years and stay in their telegram channel? No, don't clinch on an empty promise.

Not now. Maybe next year some forsaken projects will rise. Just need to get out from them in time )

Just complete the bounty quests, then just wait for the token to go to your wallet. I have also participated in a lot of bounty since 2018 and at the end of 2019 i have received from it, as long as it is a good project then you will definitely get gifts from them

well that's the task given to bounty campaign participants, but you must know that not all bounties have good managers, for now bounty detective can be one of the best bounty manager alternatives because all payments are guaranteed by their team so I'm sure distribution of payments to participants will be smooth according to schedule.

Indeed late bounties can still pay rewards, but based on my experience, there are many bounty campaigns haven't paid their participants.
The most important thing from bounty campaign is first we must know 100% that they will pay us and when they will pay.
without that, we should avoid this kind of bounty campaign.

I agree with you that it's a rare thing that late bounties will pay. However, I don't understand why you say we must know 100% they will pay us. There's no way for us to make sure that they will pay the reward 100%. That's one of the characteristics of doing bounty hunting, there is always a risk even a small rate. Therefore, the best we can do is to do our researches to reduce the risk of not getting paid, we can't guarantee anything!

In case they are keeping the tokens in an escrow, then there is a chance of the bounty hunters getting their rewards. But as far as I know, very few of the bounties do that. Then there is always the risk of the project not reaching the soft-cap level. In such case, all the efforts made by the bounty hunters may get wasted. The investors may get their money back. But for the bounty hunters, it is going to be a wasted effort.

Since you won't know which exchange a bounty project will probably raise funds on you can't tell whether the project will raise softcap or hardcap easily, this is why its even better to promote listed projects or high quality projects

I tried to participate in the bounty listed at exchanges, but after the bounty ended the price dropped many times and I only got a few pennies from it. It's best to choose new and potential projects

I agree with TS, there are coins in my crypto portfolio that I did not manage to sell immediately after receiving, and over time their value approached 0. Recently I decided to revise the coins of old projects and was pleasantly surprised by the prices of some of them and the fact that the projects are actively developing.

Now that bullrun is slowly getting better and more realistic it's a good time to start noticing few revaluation in your wallets, those tokens that looks like a complete waste of time can bound up once again, also many projects that got delayed for one reason or the other can decide to rush things up to take advantage of the bullrun effect

I also started watching my portfolio. its value is constantly increasing and I like the way how all the things are developing. almost every day I sell some coins from my portfolio and getting profit

no for me, most projects in 2018 don't pay me because they are scammers. there are no tokens at all in my wallet while promoting some of the previous projects. but I realized that it was my fault in choosing a bad project back then.

we all hope that past projects pay us back, or the coins they give us have a price. honestly, it only has a small percentage. To be honest, of the many projects that I participated in, only 1 project paid late but was quite worth it.

The project that i promoted 2 years ago already disappeared, i can't even access their website anymore, it's already a miracle if they are still around till to this day and developing their project.

Yes, I also got into a lot of bounty in 2018. But most of them are scams and I get nothing from them. Even those projects are dead and inactive at the moment. This year I have been more careful and selected better projects, but the results have not been too good

Yes it's true that old forget bounty project can still bounce back to life but this doesn't mean you will make good money because it's still depends on the value of the coin, you can't be happy about the money that isn't in your reach yet.

It's better to take risks with bounties that aren't too guaranteed because if you go around promoting listed bounties you will only make little pennies because many participants will join

I can say that we will rerely seen that. There was only one from more than a hundred projects that can come back again and get a lot of interest from the investors. The bounty itself depends on the how much price that has already achieved.

I can't possibly remember any project that paid after two years of completing their bounty campaign. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I know it's rare for projects to change their mind after years of not paying. My compensation for doing any bounty is the experience I had. I carry out every campaign, hoping for payment and doing everything in my power to ensure that I get the payment, but when it's not forth coming, I forget about it and move ahead. There are more hurdles to be crossed and better days are always, ahead.

I also cant remember anyone that paid hunters after campaign has ended years ago. Even cant remember anything that has been developing for years and suddenly poped-up in 2020, got listed and its price went to moon.
Even old so called “promised to be successful 2019” bounty projects did not paid everyone rewards or if paid, did not brought much profit.

Yes it can also happen in this market, I used to be in bounty in 2018. Then the project went silent for 2 years and now they start to pay tokens to the bounty hunter, they still haven't listed in the awards. But I hope the price will go up because the project now has products and more

such rewards can sometimes be a very joyous moment. I am always happy when I receive coins that I have forgotten a long time ago and now they cost 1000 dollars

I may have gotten greedy again, but I still hold my coins in anticipation of the altcoin season. Now I mostly sell coins that I received recently, I need to earn money on ETH in the run-up to 2.0 ;D

The team have absolute decision when will distribute the reward for the hunters, and as a hunter we must follow that decision, but i believe that they never lie us, i been have rewarded from my work in 2017 and its blow on 2018 as example. and now i do bounty hunting and not get paid yet, some project already but some again not yet.
But in the way, we the bounty hunter can be so destructive sometime, when we get pay mostly will dump it in the market and make the listing price destroy like ruins, so the team have decision right to postpone it until the right time.

maybe it's true in some cases this happens, like mb8coin, and many more, it's just that I don't follow it.
however most projects that emerge a long time ago are usually considered a scam, so in comparison there are still more scam projects than have been successful in a long time.

It seems to me that many projects are deliberately dragging their time so that as many bounty hunters as possible forget about them and leave the telegram, so that in the end only the most stubborn will be awarded.

its because its not that hard to create a scam project compare to a project that is not scam because you are going to carefully craft it . in scam projects you can easily plagiarize others content  .

its true that mb8coin made a comeback ?  on what year is it . im curious because i was a part of thier campaign before but not on the bounty . i only recived bitcoin payments instead but im still thankful .

There are various tactics used by the project team to deny deserving rewards to the bounty hunters. Extending the campaign without a solid reason is one of them. Other popular tricks include making the KYC mandatory to receive the rewards, once the campaign is over. There will be no mention about KYC at the start. But once the campaign is finished, they will demand that the bounty hunters must undergo KYC.

even i know bounties that didn't pay bountyreward to supporter. i am participate in current bounty campaign and its still active in developtment , even their user app increase smoothly based on google play. current already more than 2 years and no sign they will pay bounty hunter or not. even this token not tradeable due some reason.

We bounty hunters hate delayed payment to our efforts, these developers are not keeping their promise some of the them intentionally delayed payments so bounty hunters will lose interest and will just get out of the telegram and do not look back and they keep their coin.

Well it is better late than nothing, i already experience different bounty and everything in bounty is always depend on the team and the manager of the campaign, there are a lot of bounty that didnt pay bounty payment in time some takes a very long time to send the payment.

Such things only happen once in a blue moon. In most cases when they're paying you like very late then there's no guarantee the coins/tokens will have price or maybe still not listed anywhere. I've seen lots of such cases where they don't even have a value. But I'm sure there are others that were lucky enough to have a good bag of payments.

Indeed true, if the project is under good management then they will over the distribution after the campaign is done and those who haven't distribute the rewards on time of failure to distribute it are mostly unprofessional or could be scammers.

The reason they delayed distributing tokens was price protection, but the prices kept crashing every day and until the bounty hunters received their tokens, they only received 1-2 cents for their work. . That's the general state of bounty this year, so don't expect too much from them

You are right in a way, I haven't joined bounties as of 2018 but I have friends that have and I have seen them cash out real big from a project that they did years back and have forgotten about it, well I guess Bounty requires patience

Bzx was one of those late paying projects and now look at it, recently it reached its ATH at almost 2$ and they paid thousands of tokens to social media campaign participants, so it was well worth the wait. But yes, most of those late paying projects tend to fail either way, so even if you receive your long forgotten tokens, they tend to be close to worthless.

It often happens that bounties take a very long time to pay rewards but that's rare because the project I participated in ended up in a scam but some didn't, and one of them might be satt-token which in the near future will hold a listing that is a crazy project because the CEO is too ambitious to raise funds but the funny thing is that this year they got quite a large amount of funds and their project is now getting a little more softcap after waiting for almost 2 years to hold ico.

Personally, i don't really agree with you to some point. All of crypto projects have project managers who are very greedy and are just interested in the money they will make out of the project rather than the progress of the project and some don't really pay bounty hunters. I know a particular project that haven't paid bounty hunters for about a year and half. They just used bounty hunters for free without paying them.

The new project doesn't want the price to be dumped by bounty hunters. New projects and bounty admin are making several rules for that like low allocation, late payment, two or three separate distribution. Under 0.05 percent allocation rewards bounty campaign price shouldn't be dumped if legitimate campaign. Still some projects afraid to distribute rewards of bounty like Radix DTL bounty will be distributed after 1 year.

only bounties from good projects and have a good bpunty manager who will still pay, and I am sure 90% will not be paid,
if the bounty is indeed a scam, there have been many cases here, so don't expect too much from the bounty that promises it
