To receive a payment of bounty campaign is becoming more and more uncertain day by day. Once the bounty campaign was over, the payment would come to the wallet address. But now most of the campaigns take a wallet address during joining of a campaign, but the payment is not coming to that wallet address.

After participating in a bounty campaign for a long time, it takes two to three months for the payment to come. Some bounty campaigns take years and some bounty campaigns do not pay.

At present, it is seen that two or three months after the end of the campaign, one day, team/admin/owner of the campaign is suddenly posting in the telegram, giving 3 days or 7 days for website registration or filling a form. Those bounty hunters who are not watching this news are not getting payment of bounty campaign anymore. I think it's a trick not to pay Bounty Hunters. Because if bounty hunter have to register a website or fill out a form, why not they say at the beginning of the campaign?

After taking part in a bounty campaign for a long time, when the payment is missed in this way, a bounty hunter suffers a lot.

It is very difficult for a Bounty hunter to keep up to date with all campaigns. Bounty hunters are all brothers. So I think that no other brother will be deprived of payment in this way, so we will post here about when to pay for a campaign or if a form needs to be filled.

Recently a friend of mine missed the Swapzilla bounty campaign Form fill up and website registration. When he saw the news on the telegram, the form was already closed. After finishing a three round campaign, if payment is missed in this way, everyone should feel bad. Seeing him i am  inspired to create this thread. I don't know if this thread will be of any use to any Bounty hunter.

Bounty hunter, be unite, be strong.

This is a good initiative. But most of the bounty hunter don't visit here.  They spent most of the time in bounty section.

Anyway IQ token distribution is currently ongoing and continue upto 31 August. IQ token is tradable in BitForex, Crex24 exchange.

Their bounty, their rules... if you don't want to accept their rules, don't join it. Not only for bounty payment, you need to active and keep watch every update on telegram, bounty thread etc. I don't think why your friend can missed the form, it looks like your friend using multiple account to maximize the profit, so he doesn't have time to keep watch the bounty ::)

If you think they're tricking or scam you can create accusation in scam accusation section

This happens all the time some hunters didn't get the award because of not filling up another form for verification of the bounty but its their rule and you need to be active and close eye on the moves of your bounty I suggest to make a spreadsheet for a reminder and at least visit your finished campaign once a day to get updated on instructions on receiving your reward for the bounty

now BM always does things sometimes it is not praiseworthy to do even though at the beginning of registration our wallet addresses were given, but sometimes they look for weaknesses by asking participants to fill in the report again and the surprise is not announced on BTT but telegram which is likely not to see the information there is greater than on at BTT.

I do not want to accuse that BM is now making things too easy, which in fact has been done from the start but is made more difficult. Take a look at the old BM, they never came out of the rules that were made at the beginning and it is clear that the wallet address already exists why should it be complicated again.

Your friend should always follow all the updates in their telegram because there are no specific rules in the bounty and they can change it anytime if they want. On the other hand, if you want you can talk to the daily manager and get information about the announcement of token distribution.

This and usually bounty campaigns give enough time for their participants to claim or fill up the form for the payment.

Is your friend new to bounty campaigns ? Telegram is the last thing your friend needs to ignore when most of the announcement are posted in the group chat.

It's better that the form is posted on Telegram because if it was posted in their thread it would only get buried when you have tons of participants posting their daily entries on the thread.

I don't think so. If so, he would double check the telegram update.

I am not a supporter of these bounty projects so I might seem rude to many of you. The point is that updated or changed terms, rules and keeping track of those is the job of the bounty hunter. Managers usually take care of it but the person taking part has a responsibility too.

I have seen many childish threads about not being up to date with the rules while the fault lies in the participants. These are simple things but can save a lot of time and effort.

Added to this is the fact that hunters are so much obsessed with bounties that they join several ones at the same time and thus miss out on checking them all. This mentality is wrong but nothing can be done to help them unless they stop bounty hunting completely.

The case of your friend is his own fault. As others have mentioned, projects won't contact you one by one cause it's wasting their time. So you should follow their news on your own. Even a legit project won't give you any attention if you're two years late.

Joining announcement channel is a good idea to keep up to date. You can also make a list of bounties that you participated and list their official group/channel, and check them regularly (always check the pinned message, most of the time FAQs are already there).

You need to clearly read the rules of any bounty you join. If there's the note about the owners that they can change the rules at any time, you need to be mindful of that. It is unfair when you don't get paid for what you have worked for, they should consider those who haven't followed the updates but it's them for decide. And for the delay of payments, you are into bounty hunting and most of them always pay late and mostly, don't.

You forget to read about rules if "the team can change the rules or put more verification when it was needed"

that means what you can do and it means nothing as the final decision will be fully determined by the team and developers. the managers have no right to make an intervention with the decision that has already taken by the team too.

I also feel that I have experienced the same thing, it would be nice when finished in a bounty project at least visit their telegram to see their progress once a week so as not to be left with valuable information, if not from myself who else would want to pay attention to this kind of thing.

indeed bounties are increasingly unpromising for bounty hunters, I personally experienced different things because I already got payment but there was no market place to sell my token. or maybe the other way around the market place to sell token is readily available but payment never takes place. so it really frustrates bounty hunters. a lot of bounty hunters complain about payment and always say: when payment? or when list to exchange?

But you are missing the point. It is job of the bounty hunter itself to check the social channels when participating in these programs. It is a responsibility of the hunter. Would like to hear a counter-argument from your side too on this.

If you ask me then I consider it a lack of devotion to the project that you are promoting and the half-hearted efforts at trying tk make money.

Of course the bounty hunt may not be profitable but this type of mentality need to change.

It's very hard to see bounty projects with good team that have good intentions towards bounty participants today, it's a risk you must take because you can never judge a project before they start their Campaigns, you will never know what will happen after bounty ends, few keeps their promises and many don't

I believe that if a developer or project CEO fully understand how important bounty hunters are they will never want to avoid paying bounty hunters, some teams still want to protect their reputations but still you can't ever figure that out before you start promoting their project.

About the story that your friend missed an opportunity to fill the form - that is the stupidest thing in bounties. They are managed on the forum, but all necessary information and news are located in telegram channel. Often BM writes updates and rules only in telegram, skipping forum. That is so wrong.

In the bounty rules it is said that I must join bounty telegram channel, but there is nothing written that I MUST read everything there. I’m promoting the project, not reading chat...

You just need to make it as one of your job to visit the channel regularly on the campaign you are participating  it is your job to check it regularly.since you are bounty hunter and we know that you are also active promoting other campaign it is also easy for you to check it. Just do it once a week if you want to make sure you will get your payment.

I think you need to read the rules carefully, BM has the authority to change the rules if needed.
Isn't 7 days more than enough to complete the requirement?

Yep thats right op should always check thier telegram or social media accounts to keep updated to whats happening to project and the distribution, cause most of the post on telegram groups are always asking about when distribution.

Bounty rules can be changed at any time, it's always on almost every bounty thread of this forum that bounty rules can be changed or readjust at any time, if you don't like this you won't end up joining any bounty campaigns on this forum

In participated in the bounty campaign means we are also working for them to promote their platforms. That means if we must follow all of the guidelines that have already made by them all. When someone is feeling bad with such bounty and he was feeling free to leave the campaign to join into the another campaign too.

Bounties token claiming forms aren't always opened for a long time, to avoid missing out you need to constantly check the project telegram group, this isn't the project team fault but your friends

From this incident, I think actually the fault happened to your friend...
I have missed the filling form how many times because I forgot about that campaign, I realized that the mistake was with me because I was busy in the real world + the many campaigns I participated in made me forget about 1 or 2 old projects that I participated in. now I always mark when the campaign I participated in ended in a spreadsheet so that I wouldn't be left behind in the future.

As a bounty  hunter then these things are your responsibility and if you are dealing with bounty on serious manner then it would be normal just for you to make up some search or updates nor follow on the project that you had advertised on even though you do expect that most likely you wont get paid but at least you are aware on what are the plans of the team.You missed it out then its your mistake.You cant say that this is a
strategy for them not to pay but those changes can really happen in the end of the line.This is why its really important to have at least some track on the campaign.Not just on simply skipping out once you done and
forget the rest and just wait for those coins to arrive in the wallet.It might be hassle but you do need to have a track every once in a while.

I dont have any problem  if the bounty manager change the rules in any campaign like extending the bounty for another month as long as the bounty pool reward will not be change,

OIkos almost got away from this they have announce the bounty campaign in their telegram channels but not in their other channels like Bitcointalk, where they launched their bounty campaign, and many members almost did not get their rewards, the community pressured them to give the rewards to members because they are getting a lot of bad feed backs and comment.

i like the iniative being showned here which is brotherhood . its important to make friends to your co workers on a bounty so that you can talk with that bounty also on other stuffs  . is bounty payments changed now and work that way as describe on the first page ? because before , you will first fill the forms and you can work and get paid at the end of the bounty if accepted  . there is no need to fill another form , thats hassel and it can cause for hunters to miss the payment because they are also busy  .  

Hello there Im a bounty hunter too but honestly this thread is a waste of space here. Thats why the altcoin discussion is flagged with spam topic cause most subject is complained abouy bounty. Its not good to make such topic regarding complained which has no relevance on this particular section.

Most bounty have an unfair rules, and everybody are aware of that. The only thing that could save hunters are picking a good campaign that is worth the time. Anyway, I have an updated thread here:

Safe Campaigns in the Altcoin section to join. Dont waste your time with others (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0)

Ive been quite busy for a while but soon I'll be updating this thread.

If they are really willing to give out those rewards or bounty tokens then they will surely announce in all of the possible ways including this forum since this is
the main place on where people or bounty hunters do originated from and if they do forget or do intently not to post for them to avoid on paying up those
advertisers then its actually shows shady behavior towards them.Somehow the community will surely react and find ways on getting those coins that they
had worked for how many months.

If youre a hunter and seeking for the payment you should always check every possible way to get the reward. Keep updated on telegram, message them on thier social media accounts to know when distribution of payments

I thought that it was not necessary all that you wrote because I thought that the managers would notify any information in advance and that in the telegram channels there would also be a manager who would be constantly responding and leaving information for people .. Suddenly give 3 or 7 days for people to fill out the form on the site was a rude attitude, but that doesn't surprise me because these ICO creators don't like to pay and they will always create barriers when paying so that not everyone gets paid


true, especially when you know that you are in the world of cryptocurrency, that it is already a world that creator of projects are very greedy people and have a great contempt for bounty hunters

It's the participants right to get the announcement and for avoiding them to pay off without prior announcement regarding on this matter then lets assume that there's a shady happening on that campaign, and this is the reason why I'm not participating on any bounty campaign right now since I know this issue will happen. No bounty camps are paying good recently, and if the owner will not pay then I think users don't have a choice so best to move on.

I think most of the time they are posting their date of allocation to the bounty hunters maybe it's true that some don't pay but not all bounty campaigns are like that you supposed to pick which one is worth it you can ask on their group when they will going to pay the bounty hunters or you can recheck it every week we can't really blame them since it's their rules. Me too i haven't been paid before by some bounty campaign since I haven't able to send my details to them but they give a specific time for us bounty hunters to submit it.

Yes most of the bounties these days dont pay, so its a duty for bounty hunters to keep updated to know whats happening on the project,  if they knew that the project wont be successful they can leave and find other projects that is worth thier time and hardwork.

As bounty hunters it's our obligation to be updated on our campaigns, during ICO days and popularity of campaigns there were times that some campaigns change their rules like for KYC, or changing of wallet that needs to be used. We must be updated to see whether there is update or if not we must ask and know whether the project is success. No legit project will risk their company to scam in bounty. If they do then maybe their project is really no use.

We can't mention none, it even happened but most of the bounties paid even though their tokens or coins were worthless, what made me often disappointed was the deduction of the bounty allocation due to various things

Thats right the change in bounty pool is the most dissapointing, after the end of campaign deduction on the pool is not good,  its not fair, thats why bounty hunters dont like this kind of decision.

Addressing the injustice of greedy project owners is necessary. Unfortunately, some hunters just give in to all decisions about reward even though it harmed them a lot. If some of the hunters were willing to use reputations board as a vehicle for complaint and resistance, they probably wouldn't be underestimated.

Some bounties can change the rules if needed so be prepared for that and i think you need to be in the group at least once a day. They will give you some time for any kind of complaint, so it is better for you if you are always present in their group.

it is true that the existence of a group is to monitor the latest news, so I think we should always pay attention to this. most of us always underestimate this so when the rules change we always deny BM without checking for the latest updates.

the forum is pretty awkward to do, there are channels in the telegram, trying to do it, I on the channel try not to miss such events in those companies, which take part if I join, do not think that there are all the companies in a row, I don't take everything, and try to select them )

I cant really blame people to neglect most of the time when it comes to updates since we know on how bounty hunting turns out to be a shit.
They do just join and then when its over then they do jump into other projects as simple as that. Some do think seriously on rewards and some are just
taking these bounty jobs lightly without minding if they would be paid up or not. Its really devastating when you do missed out some news about
the bounty specially if the coin is listed on an exchange, there are swaps or forks do happen etc.

I don't really understand what the purpose of this thread is ...
We all know that bounty campaigns are a lottery, some do not pay at all, others add new conditions after a long time and some (minority) pays as planned ...
But what does OP really mean by "Bounty hunter, be unite"? ? ?

If they stated that they can the rules anytime its fine, but if they change the rules when the bounty has ended bounty hunters will get mad specially when they change the bounty pool, like lowering the bounty allocation.

I completely agree with you. I think bounty hunters unite means helping each other. For example, due to any conflict between BM and Owner of PayAccept bounty, BM is keeping a message on bounty thread that team will not pay bounty hunters. But the team opened a new bounty telegram group and asked the bounty hunters to fill up a form.  Maybe many bounty hunters don’t know it. I think bounty hunters should share this news with everyone and make everyone aware of it. Maybe that's what OP want to mean by uniting bounty hunters.

if the company changes the conditions during the bounty, then this is normal, and if after a long time it already makes it clear that it is possible to Scam, a year ago there was a company bitwings, so they checked everything well, but a YEAR later they changed the rules of remuneration, and a lot of people who did not receive the award !

some bounty on 2019 and 2020 it is bad, they still didn't make payment after 1 year like xdb after hunter successful promotion the project they are gone

I also do not see any reason to fill out many registration forms within a certain period after the bounty campaigns have passed. Is it really not clear without them who deserves what reward? Indeed, even at the beginning, all the necessary information is indicated by the participants in the registration form
