Bitcoin Forum

As you mention it at the start, the problem is almost all those projects end in a scam, that way is hard for people to trust in that kind of projects and it's hard for the Bunty managers to work in those project because the can burn their reputation that way. So, it's doesn't even worth for users and for managers any more.

Here's the thing, if you don't have the time to extensively research the hundreds of bounty campaigns launched daily in the bounty section and you just blatantly join whatever new is listed;
then, you are doomed to join a bounty campaign that's destined to be a scam.
There are still a few gems in the bounty sections; a few.
You just need to search a little harder and research a bit deeper.
If you feel like the bounty campaign or the project itself is too good to be true, chances are, it is, so don't bother joining those.  ;)
Bounty managers who are keen on launching new campaigns are the ones who value their reputation in this forum.
Being tied up to a scam project is a nightmare for them which is why you only see a few active bounty campaigns under their management.

Just a matter of research and you will find legit bounty I still see 5-10 bounty campaigns running that 95% seems legit if you are worried about token with no value some bounty has been listed on exchanges try to search them.  

If you are not having enough analysis on the bounty, you are not going to have a good one. It's not like that there qas no good bounty since last 3 years. We had mb8coin bounty, cartesi (couple of days ago), ESH and some others bounty which were successful. You have to spend times on choosing and neglecting bounty campaign. Don't join every bounty out there.

I still see some legit projects that run bounty. As you have said, many of them are likely to be a scam so that probably pissed you off and don't see any hope with bounties. Asking what happened to bounties maybe you've missed the run and the clue during 2018.
There's no good bounty and projects that was done during that year or maybe some of them but you can count them easily. It's probably a time for you to look for the other side of crypto and start making through trading and accumulation of your preferred crypto.

Most projects now are scam! So it isnt surprising for bounty hunting to become a trash but if you do check out the bounty section of this forum.You can really see that there are still lots of projects that do launch.
There are still numbers of hunters that do engage into this activity but sooner or later they would surely find out that they are dealing into something which is totally worthless and realize that they should stop
on what they are doing. Bounty hunting is just a total waste of effort and resources.Yeah, it might not be involving some money but to think on the efforts and time you had spent then you would surely realize
that it is way more worth to find for another way on making money rather than this one.

Bounty managers are hired just to manage the participants and calculate the rewards so we can't assume anything just with the reputation of campaign manager and as far as I know most reputed campaign managers are not taking any offers to manage bounties so most of them were promoted by the project team itself and end of getting in scam.

if you afraid for the bounties that you think will going to scam you if promote it . Then find a bounties that will pay you in weekly basis.


Here is the example
 🔥🔥🔥[BOUNTY] ReferCoins: Easiest Way to Earn BTC [Join Now!]🔥🔥🔥  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5254523.0)
they paid advertiser in btc ,but I don't know if they are really  paying but its good to try.


This one also  🔥🔥🔥[BOUNTY] [SIGNATURE] Streamies 2nd Signature Campaign - Worth of 700$ 🔥🔥  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5255226.0) the campaign will run only for 2 weeks and the tokens is exchangeable  already in exchange.

"almost all" does not mean "all"..  current bounty campaign makes you do hard work, you can no longer follow all campaigns, you have to choose and filter the campaign you want to follow.  if you pay attention, now you can take part in the bounty campaign managed by Bounty Detective, I can't guarantee 100% but I see the campaign that he/she handles is very promising..

you said almost all projects are scammed but your still asking if what happened to them ? what you first said was true that almost all or majority of them are scams but not all totally so there are still few left that are legit .

managers arent the one that launching the projects but its the owners job to launch the project ,  managers can only manage it  . yes its horrible because the status of bounties changed alot compare to what bounties are before , so what now ? its up to you if you can accept this and continue or leave

Almost all new bounty projects are scam, you are absolutely right and as a bounty hunter you have to avoid promoting the scam projects, wait till you see a better legit project to promote, do your research and save yourself some time.

There are very projects who could survive in these days, As corona pandemic grows, buying powers of people has been declining. But ICO was not doing really good before this pandemics, its because these days people tend to trade established token or the only one which is listed at good exchanges. ICO/IEO is not the same as before mid-2018 that's why new ICO's without doing prior studies launches the ICO project and when they aren't able to sell a minimum amount of allocated tokens they stop the ICO or runaways, and the bounty hunters are scammed.

Even if we arent on a pandemic situation, the situation would really be still the same because people are already smart nowadays and after how many years

of ICO scams happened in the past, i wont be surprised if the community is already aware of it and in result? lots of shit projects are destined to go to the ground.

This is why it do mainly affects bounties as well because if projects cant able to get sufficient funding(talking on legit ones) then hunters wont really be get
paid most of the time.

Refercoin signature look not accept new participant,

https://i.postimg.cc/g2rynQbH/Capture.png

we don't know they pay it or not because not yet full for this week.

I think it's just better to choose bounty that is already listed in the market if you don't want to take a risk on ICO bounties that are not yet listed in exchange for me I just follow BM that has good records

This scam is a nightmare for bounty hunters, actually I'm also very confused why things like this happen often, or is this something like a test for bounty hunters like me who still don't understand the terrain in this sector, or is this a clue so we can't origin chasing bounty before searching for certain information, but it's difficult if only info to understand whether a scam or not, because as far as I know they work in groups.

Some of the posts above already mentioned why a lot of the projects turn to scam. It's really not that difficult to know why they're failing in the first place as projects always have that same kind of concept and they push their tokens first rather than building a good reputation for themselves. If you're an investor looking to make a profit would you even take the risk in the ICO world knowing that most of them won't succeed ?  No, right?

yes that's not true. if I know that it will not work then I will look for another place with the information that is suitable and certain, but the information coming from several people can be different so how to anticipate things like this, whether by relying on instincts on their own

You can't look into it from the beginning as if it's not gonna work. Unless you have sort of expertise or average experience knowing what good projects are. Knowing if a bounty is good or not won't only rely on your instinct, there has to be a basis whichever you join.
But if that's how you determine base through your instincts, I think some people also do that. But, what I'm saying is that it isn't enough to determine which bounty is good.

Do you make a bounty program as your income (or side income)?

That is worst mate, you could have a chance to gain a consistent profit in other ways. I guess bounty program is not profitable anymore since 2017 ago, yeah 2017 is the best year for bounty program. I heard from my online friend who got $1500 when he just promoted one bounty program through a signature campaign and $1000 through a social media campaign. However, I never get any good information again from him, maybe he has known that this way is not profitable anymore.

it is also true that if you rely too much on instincts, many people may think like that, and the possibility of expertise will only be needed at certain times, so the point is I have to research the basics and also certain information to participate in a project so that we can make sure personally and not too rely on other people, okay maybe I understand better for this thanks bro,

Exactly bro. You have got it correctly as what I'm emphasizing to you. I'm happy that you have absorbed it the way that I want to.
I may not be an expert but doing things such as researching and observing with due diligence will also help you.
Relying too much with your instinct will also help but not as great as the traditional way of doing it with researches.

It's not every time that trusted bounty managers will have a new bounty campaign to launch, since 2019 bubbalex only launch 4 bounties so far, the truth is good bounty campaigns takes time, don't always expect every single bounty campaign to be good.

yes maybe something like this can also get rid of worry for me because each of us benefits, like you are happy when I understand your thoughts, although not some money but this is also important to me.
to be honest, I don't like experts because they are usually a little selective, but you want to give an explanation for me who is still new, it is useful for me personally. thank you

that's true and they must do a lot of research before. I remember even some trusted bounty managers have been even managing the crap bounties too. Bounty is about which is a good or bad project.

The trusted manager needs more time to get the client too

As ICO phase died down, there are less and less legit projects.
And even the legit ones might not get listed for years.

And scammers keep getting better and better, so it's really hard to determine legitimacy for some projects. Take PI coin for example. I believe it's a total scam, yet many people think it's legit. Only time will tell.

As for bounty hunters.... bounty hunting shouldn't be your main source of income. If it is, then you're doing something wrong in life. Bounty was always ment to be a reward, a token of appreciation for believing in project, not a task you complete without thinking and expect money.

It is enough already for me that you have understood it and that kind of information must be spread to others that are new to this. Well, it's now you that will tell this if you see someone who's actually new to it and doesn't have an idea what he's doing.
It should be the first thing to do in almost everything not just for bounty programs but also in investing, how you'll choose the cryptos you'll invest if you are not satisfied holding bitcoin.

don't worry about this bro, if later I meet someone who is new and the same as this it is certain I will give direction as you have done to me, because here I am sure everyone also does the same thing as you, tell what they are don't know right.

Its not about time but of quality. The ICOs that happened at one time and now renamed as IEOs never had anything to develop on. The objectives of these projects had already been taken up by huge mainstream companies and they had no edge to go and compete with them. The crypto niche is still a very small community and thus we dont see them making much of an effect in the world economy.

Hence these projects were a failure from the start. Still people wanted to make some quick cash and joined them - these fool investors deserved what they got because of the flawed judgement. The bounty hunters were no better. With the smell of free money they joined and get nothing but worthless tokens in return.

I think you can not blame this sector, go back to yourself you should seek information first before participating in a bounty program, because most do not care about what later at the end of the project, and only interested in what is offered by them, to be honest I also experienced this for the first time but because the temperature here is very good, I always listen to what they share and it is very useful, so I think you should start looking for info on what projects you will follow, if you can confirm then You registered, because I think it's very difficult to know about the scam project.

As long ICO do exist and other marketing stuff that do involved token allocation then these bounty hunters wont really stop.

They will join even they do know the chance on success or making money is less compared wayback in previous years that we have known that bounty hunting is still feasible.

IEO is no different thing, they just had overhauled it but doesnt really give out anything something new but all on the same trash projects but in a different way of accumulating funds.

This is why its not really worth to join up bounties nowadays if you dont like to waste up your precious time.

and that's what is happening right now because there are so many illegitimate projects launched while projects that are really legit are hard to find. don't despair about that because there will come a time when many legit projects will be launched maybe in the next year or in the future. the spirit of prize hunters to look for a sheet dollar will never fade because they believe will there projects that will give them huge profits.

I dont get why they never learn. Do the hunters lack basic logical skills that they are being duped with the promise with tokens that will be the next bitcoin? If they are falling for such foolish schemes then they really need to rethink their actions.

That hype may have been the reason of the slow and painful decay of bounty hunting. Some people see the old days and think that they can make money but its not the case anymore.

Truely, they just rebranded it and made it seem that listing was no longer a problem since they launched from an exchange. By no means it makes it any different from the scam it was.

Seems like most hunters like to waste time though. :D

Yes.
That's what other people did to me when I'm not aware of these things. We're in a forum and just exchanging things how do we observe and see projects.

I still used to see a very few numbers of the bounty that's good to join. They're like a rare project that actually is paying good for participants like the Gold bounty.

I think that is because we are in the bear market, which makes many projects have turn become scams. The project can not continue the work, and they choose to silent without notice to their participants or their investors. In the end, they run away from the project with the investor money, and they never return to the project, but they create a new project to make more money. We can not deny that to find a good project, we need to spend more time, and sometimes, that is not worth doing.

I really like that, sometimes they tell us what we don't know and sometimes what they don't know there is someone who tells them I think things go round as time goes by, helping each other and sharing this is what I like most here, but of course sometimes there are always people who use it for their own benefit

There are many existing projects with the same goal, but only few of them can provide a reliable working product that can survive regardless of the status of the market. Some fail and some are really scam and just want to collect money from investors and use the bounty hunters to spread awareness of their scam projects. It wont end and will continue to exist, thats why bounty hunters must do their best to spot a good project by doing an extensive research.

Yes, exactly there is a very poor situation regarding the bounty campaigns. Because many bounty management groups failed to provide good projects as per the time. But one of them doing well by providing good projects with greater potential. So the Bounty detective community is one of them with so many good projects. Here you would find so many good bounties, which comes with a really good product.

True, there are still some bounties nowadays that do really pays up well and i have seen that Gold bounty which is been running for a while now and
been paying up quite decent to its participants which i can say that lucky for those who do able to get in.It is way more better than wasting off your time
into those projects who doesnt really paid off most of the time but well its a matter of risk since no one know that even this Gold bounty do pay
up.So theres still a few who do really pays but most of them are really total shit.

I do agree on that there are still good bounties that pay, some of the payments that I receive on my old bounties like Ixinium (it was thought that this project is a scam) and we received a fat pay ;D and last month we got the payment for the Earnbet bounty(paid us in XRP). Just keep on participating in bounties that have good potential

not all the same as you say there are still many good projects and also honest and pay it all helped from yourself if you are too lazy to find useful information you will continue to think like that and can only blame the situation rather than exploiting the situation try to find out before following a project in my opinion this is the easiest for me to understand and for you too I think

Right now, the sure one when it comes to bounty programs is those that you can find in the btc-paying campaigns. All are paying their participants handled by reputable bounty managers here. But when you go to altcoins bounty programs, don't expect that you will get paid or if they paid their tokens, don't expect that they will hit in the exchanges and have decent value.

so whether we can only trust and only participate in projects that are shared in a threat, but it's also true that you say if choosing a campaign on altcoin seems less convincing, but if the masters who share and usually also provide very detailed information, can be make sure if it is a good project and it certainly pays so well, this is good advice thanks

well that is possible now I will only follow the bounty project shared here and not in threat altcoin because if here is more detailed and more trustworthy because usually in addition to sharing a project they will include information along with certainty which in my opinion is sufficient to be able to believed, what do you think?

When it comes to certainty then always stick out into those campaigns that do pay up with established coins.

Its your own choice if you do consider to join into projects that do pay up no value coins for the work you have done

but as dunfida said where all of them doesnt really get any value in the end of the line.

thats what i prefer too compare to joining on those bounties that have uncertain payments via alts and toks they created but the only disadvaantage when you got paid on certain coins is that they also pay small  .

unlike to when they  pay in toks and alts that they pay in a large number of coins because they themselves dont also know if what future holds from their coins but if both got lucky both owner and participants can earn good amounts of cash    .

In my opinion, it is how the project would become a success because I have joined a bounty with a very trusted bounty manager but the selling of the tokens ends up in failure I guess the it is lacks promotion. Also this days, there are only few legitimate bounties left so it would be best to patiently look for a good bounties. I guess it is also good to invite some bounty hunters to a good bounty campaign to attract more investors in the project.

so that's how it is, it really depends on one's own desire to act so that you can know to what extent your own abilities. thanks

well that's the system they use seems like nothing but profitable for them, because maybe they think they have paid even though it's not what we want,
from what I know every successful project is always beneficial for both parties, but usually there are only such fraudulent thoughts and make things messy for both parties.

There are many such scam bounty programs but I would advise you to do good and better research first and then if you like any program then use it or join it is much better for you.

Bounty hunting is already fucked up wayback in couple of years on where this market had been infested with lots of scams which people arent already interested on dealing up with things specially into its investors which do also affect bounty hunting yet most project doesnt paid up their participants in the end of the line.This is why for those people who are still dealing with this crap then its better to quit and find other feasible things
that can really be worthy to spend your time on rather than gambling out with bounty hunting yet chances on getting good profits is slim.Better utilize your time well rather than forcing out yourself to gamble with these things.

I think he was doing it before but anytime the good campaign can also become a bad campaign. We have a bunch of stories like this. It's better to keep watching the development progress while we are also doing bounty at the same time to make sure we will get a loss again caused by scam bounty.

yes of course , In 2017,2018 there was very very good bounty campaigns were there .. But now almost all the bounty campaigns are not good campaigns , and 50% campaigns are scamm projects ... this is really a bad period for bounty hunters

I disagree. The bounty boom was in 2016-17. 2018 was when the price of bitcoin dropped from a non-organic pump in 2017 and thus all altcoins also dropped with it. This dragged the finances of the ICO projects to zero value and revealed the fact that they are nothing but hyped up shitecoins with no intrinsic value of their own. So even if there were some "good" bounties they are worthless now.

Its more like 99% of them. It is better to focus on other ways to earn if you are looking for that. Signature campaigns paying in bitcoin are good but you need to work on your rank to get into one.

I dont like to say that some period is good or bad. It is a part of the cycle. Maybe in future we will see better developments and new types of bounties where spammer and cheating is very low.

this is not too horrible but this is the main reason many people stop being bounty hunters ;D. but don't worry too much because not all projects launched end in a scam and thorough first before participating. although many projects don't pay, but don't make that's a as reason to stop being a bounty hunter because not all projects don't pay. keep up the bounty hunter's spirit.

Identifying such projects is the key since there are so many projects that keep coming, people needs to research and ensure that they do participate in such campaigns as many or say most of them support the time and efforts in the projects which either does not even get list or become worthless in quick time and eventually they get nothing for the time and money invested in such projects.

For such a long time, investors have become exhausted and disappointed with such investments. Moreover, ICO are completely made up of scammers. True IEO are more transparent than ICO right now, investors are likely to pay attention to IEO.

Yeah its horrible but bounty hunting is never been a job that for someone to focus on and people should treat it as a side income and to think that ICO becomes shit after the  years
and its understandable that it does affect success rate of new projects that do launch in the market.

This is why it is much better to find up things that will earn you money than wasting up your time on doing bounties.There are various ways , it just depends on how you do find or search for it.

We have seen circumstances that lots had been scammed and the market isnt feasible at the moment.

It is because all the project DEV are only looking for making cash and you all hunters are helping them to do so. If you stop following all the bounty and partucipate only in campaigns managed by good bounty manager, I think the era of scam will be ended.

A bounty is regarded as good when it is able to list on exchange to have value for hunters to be able to sell, so if this is the criteria to determine a good bounty, then I think there are quite a few of them that are available which I can say will be trading in an exchange pretty soon, at the end of the day the reward is what matters to hunters most.
All you need to is look closely and carefully you can find a handful of decent bounties to join.

Yep youre right ,searching before joining is a must,not just that you saw huge bounty reward you will join immediately. If the bounty has low allocation reward pool  but its 100 legit paying , then go join on that bounty.

How do you even know that it is "100 legit paying"? The payment is done after the bounty completes, the projects token gets listed and so on. It used to take like several months upto a year to get those things done and some hunters would end up forgetting how many bounties they had joined in the first place. ::)

Low allocation does not mean a thing. A failure to raise funds and/or bankruptcy can always occur and the investors will suffer for that, so will the bounty hunters.

Thus the craze fro bounty hunting gradually decreased and without newer methods to secure payments for hunters probably it will never come back up again in a larger scale.

There is never a guarantee. Even if the project looks great on paper, even if they do everything right seemingly.... if they want to screw you over, they'll screw you over.
Usually by a means of tokens swap, or some weird exchange listing against zimbabwe dollars.

In the end, each bounty campaign is a risk, both for manager and a hunter. Difference if that risk is 10% or 90%

I disagree, not all of the project I have joined are scam and it will just depend if they are really legit and analyzing the team behind those projects. One thing that you can check if there are not scamming people.

If they are not offering pre-sale offer, token sale(price is high), and the team are all fakes and edited pcitures from somewhere on the internet.

Not actually a risk since you will never use any money to invest in a project .you are just doing a bounty which is you will help them to promote in many different social media sites.
The time you used in promotion will be wasted if you are participating in bounty and that the only thing you will never  have back the time you used for promotion to .
 For manager mostly they are paid in popular crypto currency the risk in them is the bad feedback they will have if they promote scam bounty.

Effort and resources are the main things that you would waste up as a bounty hunter and we know that time is gold and precious and to think that if we had used those time and effort

on other things then we might able to utilize it and might be beneficial for us thats why i do really say that bounty hunting nowadays is totally shit and waste of time but there were still people whom do continue
on engaging such stuff.

For managers side or issue then its normal to have those negative feedback basing on what they have done.

The project may not be a scam. But the project may very well be a failure.

Scams were there but many projects failed to reach anything worth to continue development and they took a wrong path, that is selling the project to someone else and pointing their middle finger to the investors who then raged about their tokens. This is effect of the hyped up ICO market and the fact that these tokens are not legalized securities but a gamble.

Well that is a scam but many are often disguised to evade such detection methods. But failed projects are the major ones having not paid their bounties even after raising some funds because they refunded them. Scams never did raise any funds.

From the perspective of the bounty hunter both are same. But they need to think logically about what they are spending their time on.

Do not forget,,, it is the intention that counts. Even if the project never actually cheated anyone, but if they never actually built anything or tried to develop anything even without funds, then they were always going to scam people. Think about it, actually a project does not need ICO to do stuff if they were serious.

It happened because the project failed to raise capital for development. So they don't have the money to pay bounty hunters or just give tokens of no value. Do not be too dependent on bounty because you will die with it

I understand where you are coming from I have five campaigns and all of them are shitcoins or dead before it hit the market, just lucky that I'm out of the ICO bounty campaign they just don't work anymore, it's just a waste of time and effort, ICO and bounty hunting is now in a very bad situation right now.

Even if they raised capital these developers will still run leaving bounty hunters with nothing, it's preferable to join bounty campaign where the an independent bounty manager is the one escrowing the tokens so what ever happen the bounty hunters are guaranteed to get the bounty rewards whatever happened to the campaign..

I have confidence that there is still valuable in the campaign. we need to know some managers who are serious about managing real projects and paying.
like bubalex or detective. they are very selective in choosing campaigns.

good companies are still present, you just need to trust only your selection, do not rely on BM, and take each company that appears, read and check for plagiarism whitepaper, check the command, see what the goal of the company and decide to participate or not.

There are still good projects out there but they intend not to conduct bounty campaigns as they are as y sure about thier project will go mainstream even without the help of bounty  campaign participants.

Bounty programs have long been a scam tool, so don't be surprised if it's hard to find real projects right now.
although there are some who pay properly for the time being, know that it's all luck alone.
if you feel your luck is still here why not try it.
make bounty just a bonus in crypto don't make it as your main source of livelihood.

How are you doing your research? Because this is very important, I'm not a pro bounty hunter like many but I'm been very careful when choosing bounty project to promote, also I heard about few bounty managers with good reputations, you can start from there

there is much legit bounty for bounty hunter, just make sure that bounty was managed by famous bounty manager on this forum, try to avoid bounty that manage by project team because most of them are have high potential to become scam or shit project, sometime project bounty that manage by their team is always extend their bounty and postpone distribution.

Thats the thing i hate the most, extending the bounty campaign and then postpone the distribution until the rewards wont be distributed. Telegram group will be limited in writing message until no one is allowed to post, bounty hunters can no longer say what they want to say on that project.

Not the project that getting scammed, but we are as the participant. You need to know that even since a long time ago, there is always so many scam project which is helding a bounty program, this is a matter of how you analyze the information and value of the project before participating into it, if you care enough to think about that, I believe you will be find more decent bounty that actually paying the participants.

Many trusted bounty managers failed to bring new projects to bounty hunters this year and it's really not their fault, right now only bubbalex and bounty detective are bringing in new bounty projects, even the old bounty king arteezy isn't doing very well anymore but few projects are still good

How all scam? Lol you should check bounty section there have been more good bounty and you can participate. Legal or scam bounty it will depend on your own research so be careful when you wanna participate a bounty, like should follow project activity, IEO, Exchange, products, team profiles, and very impressed their partnership.

Well there are still good projects but its rare now. Many bounties are launch each day but we are not certain if this is legit and not a scam, so yes we need to do our own research to not end up in a not worthy project. The best that bounty hunters can do is to research and dont be fooled for big allocated rewards.

I also think there are two options why the author decided to create this post, the first is that he thought that now he will go to bounty and how in 2017 for 1 video review will get a couple of thousand dollars, or the second option, just takes all the companies that are located in the topic, and spends all the time on them, instead of analyzing the companies before taking

big and low allocated rewards doesn't matter at this time because If the project doesn’t actually catch investors, then the value of that token will die. So in order to catch lot investors in a project, one has to be fast in developing the products of that project. Also, never think about running away from these projects, so you should refrain from those projects.

well, I don't quite agree, the size of the award also plays a role, if only $ 5000 is allocated for the award and 3000 - 4000 participants, 6-7 companies participate, and BM does not put restrictions on participants, then of course everyone will get very few tokens, and even if the project is good and worth it, there is a very small probability that the price of the token will grow so much that you can earn something from those tokens that were paid for bounty

There are some good projects that still pays decent, though the chance is slim picking the right project even you already done
doing your research, many of those who offers huge rewards are just nothing after being distributed, you'll be lucky if you received the rewards with some value, else, you'll receive nothing or no value at all.

You have a point there mate, bounty campaigns manage by unknown members or the newbies are the campaigns that went to scam in the end of the bounty.  There are bounty managers out there that is trusted and handles the campaign very good,.

Majority are, and then the numbers reach upto 99.99% we can easily say "all". ;)

The word "good" is relative. We dont see bounties paying out millions of dollars to every participant. While that if happening would be called a "good" bounty by any hungry bounty hunter to someone else that might not be the case. Some users are so foolish even today that handing them out some tokens of zero value and false promises is going to fetch their trust and they will endlessly shill that project. Regardless of whether the project is a failure or a scam.

Nobody does that though. Majority of the hunters here are from low income countries and they dont bother to check the "Scam Accusations" section of this forum. Neither they do they want to learn how to detect scams. ::)

Also the point what I said in the first line, it ends up being a goose chase so they hunters try their luck on every bounty essentially spamming all of them and getting zero worthy tokens in return or worse, none at all. :-\

   I saw many bounties run by newbies, I never trusted newbies to run a bounty. Trusted manager means a lot for the project,
and he takes care of participants to not spam the forum.
   There're good bounties, but you need to be active here to sport them on their beginning and to reserve a spot for yourself.
Many people join bounties without thinking, and later they regret and call all bounties scam, but it's not like that.

I will not agree with this one not all scam project manage by newbie account even with high reputation member can also be a victim of scam project . Its  possible that they  can hired him to manage a campaign in exchange  for fixed payment they promise  to him since his job is only managing campaign  not for reviewing it.All do those newbie also have many scam campaign before until now but it doesn't mean that high rank member will not also be fall to  manage a scam campaign .

I agree on what you say, i recently saw bounties manage by a reputated and high rank member that went scam. Theres no gaurantee that if a bounty project is manage by highly rank members it doesnt mean that it will not go to scam.

It happened to me  before where i joined in a bounty campaign manage by a newbie member at first it was good but when the bounty is near ending, the manager dont update us and leave. So i know i always joined on bounties that is manage by trusted managers.

every respectable manager wants to manage a good project but many times their research is wrong so the scam is to fall into the scam of the project. if you do a good research before participating in any bounty then maybe you can catch legal bounty. I will not be an exception there because everyone has to do proper research.

At times things may go wrong because the calculation done may not go as per the plan and tends to end in the bad projects. Same happens with manager as well as good manager has more responsibility because people join due to manager though it is also recommended to understand the details by doing the study by themselves.

You you spend your time reading comments from bounty hunters you won't want to promote any project or be a bounty hunter because bounty hunters only share their sad and bad experience about bounties not when they make good money from them, it's normal that not all projects you promote will bring money but the time always comes

Right, theres no guarantee that every bounty campaign will become successful and will give you reward after the bounty ends. Its a part of the life of the bounty hunters, sometimes great when the bounty is legit and sad if the bounty went into scam.

actually this is a great start for crypto, lately the price movement in the market shows an increase. ico developers need to step up innovation to compete at this time, this would be the right time to promote their project as prices are on the rise. I saw yesterday, one of the projects that can be successful is DIA.
They also pay bounty participants.

There are still bounties that pays after the bounty campaign, but you should pick the one who will pay every participants after the campaign, dont be fooled by campaigns that has high bounty pool.

Bitcoin is on rising path and thus you will see all good projects or coins are rising and will continue to flourish. But this does not mean that any coin will rise in this wave, many will fail if they are just dump coin. So one need to choose the coin which will benefit them or else it could happen that coin in which you have invested turns out to scam or does not have any value.
