Bitcoin Forum

I think Newbies that started bounty activities this year 2020 never knew or understand fully how this space works. i think they need to research properly on this fourm on past topics posted here about how frustrating and annoying it could be. campaigning for projects that will suddenly turn their back on hunters meanwhile at the beginning they were friendly. i have seen so many projects pay hunters and most projects launched this year. it looks like we are back in the good old days.

As you join campaigns and earn your pay, remember that it could be frustrating at some point especially after the bitcoin bull run run that is been experienced recently.
My suggestion, build your knowledge and move to the services section for quality campaigns
the altcoin bounty section is highly unpredictable.

The newbies will definitely lack knowledge about that. What kind of bounty campaign that they have taken it will actually give a huge impact to the result of bounty at the end of the campaign. When the bitcoin bearish trend will occur and we will face another difficult situation caused by the only chance to get a successful campaign to become very small. I know how difficult it is.
The result from the bounty can't be determined. It's different with a fixed payment rate campaign.

We don't know if there are still newbies in 2020 who joined crypto, I have my hunch that those who joined in 2020 are just alts of someone who have been during bounties specially the 2017 boom. So I will say. that he/she knows the risk of joining bounty campaigns already.

Again, this is already evident 2018 to present, bounty hunting are not that worth compare to 2017 wherein many hunters really make a ton of money despite many ICO's turning out to be a scam.

I also agree with that, the result of the bounty cannot be determined, just as the price goes down before the bounty payment or the bounty that we participate in is no trade, and what's worse there is no payment for bounty participants (scam), I think beginners should increase more quality in posts so that rank increases so that you can join the bounty campaign with bitcoin payments

Everything is gradual, unless the poster already has ample knowledge on subjects where he is posting, for me there are two kind of newbies, newbies who just starting out this technology and a member of this forum, and newbie on this forum but already has a lot of output about this technology.

It's not only newbies all of us should, this technology is a work in progress, there is so such thing as enough here, one thing leads to another as we move on learning things about Cryptocurrency, and from time to time the forum introduce a new rules and system.


The altcoin section is really unpredictable, but if you knowledgeable, you will know where to look and how to look on a project, campaign on service section are all paying good, but there's still goldmine on altcoins campaign, it's on the participants preference.

You can not consider bounty hunters are newbies. Not all of bounty hunters are newbies and I feel most of them are old users. They only create new newbie accounts to join new bounties. They create new accounts when their past accounts are caught by cheating bounties.

Though bull market brings more scam projects and more bounties that bounty hunters often increase their activities.

It is right for investment but with bounty hunters they don't mind about that. They don't have anything to lose when they join in bounties. Accounts are newbies, no merit, no contribution. Simply do bounty reports, Proof of authentication each week and done.

You can't find that out until you promote a bounty project, many walked away because so many projects are failing and they end up not paying participants but is that the true definition of a bounty hunter? No, since we are digging the ground to find the rare gold we don't have to stop, when things stop turning up right people tend to walk away, this year have been different so far, so many project bring profits to bounty hunters so far

Some of my friends have already left the site due to the problematic ending of the bounty section because they thought it's not really worth their time. most of the projects are not real and they are just created to confuse both investors and bounty participants. nevertheless, we need to be vigilant when choosing those projects. When I was a bounty hunter I joined some legit bounties and scam projects at the same time. Of course, it's frustrating when you know the project you are promoting is a big scam just after you finish promoting them. the least you can do here is take your time and patience to study more about bounties. reading will give you lots of benefits and will not give you the same mistakes as you did last time.

Newbies are now more difficult to find information about a project or a bounty campaign when compared to when we were newbies first, because in the past this forum was much busier and more active than now so a lot of information that we can get easily in each bounty thread.
Most of my friends are no longer active in this forum and they are only active if there is a legit or convincing bounty campaign. And this can also be a sign for a newbie to judge a bounty as legitimate or not, If a bounty campaign is followed by participants with high ranks, then we can be sure that the bounty campaign is good.

Airdrops today aren't that profitable as those airdrops before. Aside from that field, focusing on other passive income should be considered. Or, perhaps building their account's reputation and prioritize for ranking up here in forum so newbies will be able to join some signature campaigns in the future.

I believe newbies are smarter nowadays, this forum provides necessary information and guides that are useful. I'm not discouraging them to join some bounty projects, but if they can level up and improves their ability, there are other ways of finding new projects that deserves their effort and time. Just make sure they join in some legit ones.

In the altcoin bounty section it is commonplace like that, there are also many scam projects, and bounties are abandoned,
so since then I haven't been a bounty hunter for 2 years, and now I see a pretty good bounty, and newbies can join too, Stobox.

Maybe yes, but if I invite friends who are still unfamiliar with bitcoin, I will first explain what cryptocurrency is.
After they understand, I will give them the bounty link and I tell them to explore the link.

But not a few beginners immediately took part in the bitcoin game. And they don't have and don't want to seek information about cryptocurrencies.
And in the end they will panic

More companies wanna create more promotions and this could be the effect caused by the bullish trend that happened with bitcoin recently. The problem is not easy to join in the legit campaign especially the bitcoin campaign as there are so many requirements that any newbies can fulfill it.

The bounty has been starting to go back on its gold days again and i quite agree with your statement. We need bitcoin to continue its bullish trend and the golden days can happen again. I don't expect the same thing will happen but at least more legit campaigns are more than enough.

i agree with you op but many of them get used to bounty and their post was actually low quality due to the implementation of the merit system and merit requirements for some campaigns it's really hard now to join on the services section so in order to earn merit they should be knowledgeable to things and participate to topics real well.

Agree more companies or non companies are creating altcoins nowadays because they knew they gonna make more profit by advertising such project without full knowledge on what they doing and in the end it become scam, it not that easy to join campaign because we have a good system which is merit now you needed it for us or you to join good campaign which help us too.

Anyone once was a beginner. 2020's newbies' will have to understand the mechanism by gathering enough knowledge if they are here for the sole purpose of bounties. Research is something needed here indeed. On top of that, we don't have a guide on choosing the right bounty campaign here, I think.

I don't think someone will participate in a campaign without any proper knowledge how it works. Before you will join you already have idea what kind of payment you will receive and more possible scam campaign that you can participate.

You can also ask if there are things that you don't understand , but as you said it's better to search it in chrome first before asking since its already answered many times before.

Actually we still have some newbies that don't join the forum through alt account though there's no evidence to prove that but judging by some newbies posts, questions and how they judge into bounty campaign without proper research I won't say all of them have already know the risk in joining bounty campaigns.

That's correct but things seem to be doing good in the bounty scheme after the Paypal integration. When was the last time you surf through the bounty section?

I do agree, but newbies needs to at least increase their rank or earn merits. Most of the time, campaigns in services section requires merit to become part of the campaign. They also hire only higher ranks starting from sr - legendary or only hero/legendary to promote the campaign. It will take a lot of time but as long as they are dedicated to rank up, they will actually do it.

Another thing many bounty hunters should focus on would be to realize they are not going to get paid the same dollar amount that they were promised because when airdropped that coin will get less valuable and it will not worth what the project team assumes it would worth. For example some airdrop says "we are distributing 500k dollars worth of tokens!!" and when you ask them where they did came out with that number, they say they are giving out 500k tokens each worth 1 dollars, you ask them why they think it worths 1 dollars and they say that is where they think their token will worth when it hits the exchange.

So, there is no proof that their 500k tokens worths 500k dollars, they just think it should worth that much, but in reality it could worth as little as 10k for 500k tokens if the market sees it that way. So, do not look at how much dollar they claim you are getting, look at the amount of tokens they are giving.

Service section campaigns that pay in btc are not for everyone.
Firstly they only need or accept higher ranked members mostly from senior member onwards and also they require recent merit points to be accepted. They also have only limited vacancies which make them very small campaigns for limited members.
So ordinary members here have no choice but to select campaigns from altcoin bounty section that sometime work and sometimes not.

You advise people to move to service section and join signature campaigns in what you term the unpredictable nature of bounties, and that is true as we have seen many bounties refuse to pay hunters after bounty ends. But I can see you are wearing a bounty logo and advertising for them. What changed with the Jacs bounty you are promoting? Are you looking at the intergrity of the manager or of the project here?

The years 2017 and 2018 where the golden years of bounties here on bitcointalk i joned early 2017 and i witnessed many outstanding projects some i participated and some unfortunatly not but in 2019 we bounty hunters had a huge set back but the end of this year is looking promising.

For some members, it is not easy also to follow a quality campaign with bitcoin payments, if following the current rules that must have merit of only 120 days,
with a minimum of 5 merits. And managers also see our ability to post.
As for altcoin bounty, it’s hard to know which projects are really legit. But if our knowledge is minimal in analyzing a project, we can follow a truly trusted manager.
That’s one recommendation from so many other recommendations.
The point is before following the bounty, one has to read a lot in this forum, otherwise, will not qualify as a participant, and can not find an altcoin project that pays

I find that new entrants do bounty a lot, and bed as if they know a place where you can earn money for free, it's true that new projects are coming up all the time and I also notice it's happening. Bring back the income if the job is done well, maybe we are back to the good times that bounty brought, the new generation will always be created and just follow the mission. then I think this job is not difficult.

Service section is full of Bitcoin paying campaigns but not everyone can take part due to high rank members needed only, as you can see you are currently promoting JACS which is a altcoin bounty campaign that plans to pay participants in JACS Token, why aren't you wearing a BTC paying campaign signature instead?

Never expect too much.
Consider the bounty campaigns as always a risk.
There is no assurance for payment so just do your work and let go.
Also never fall in love with their coins. It happens.

The best way to lower the risk is to filter your hand-picked projects to be supported until the best will remain.
Somehow it increases the chances for a good ending.

There were several twitter campaigns under Hhampuz and yahoo62278 few months ago. Few times I've seen telegram campaign; this was super low rate but easy to do campaign. Join and stay for a 1-2 months for ~2$ reward. You are right about facebook - never seen such in Services. Article or video campaigns can be found in a kind of competition.

Joining bounties have risks always because we never know what's gonna be after campaign ends and we all know that projects now are very clever and looking down bounty hunters somewhat like slaves that were not treated properly. I had bounties like that before that really never paid us promoters and made up many excuses just to delay the payments. Some newbies who joined bounties that will never pay or turned out to be scam might be hard time to them to move on because they have high expectations to it. Well, experiences will always be a teacher as we all started on this field and we learn to move on and give us more insights how to spot good and bad bounty campaigns.

1. But you are promoting altcoin paying bounty campaign yourself, why not btc paying campaign?
2. I believe that altcoin paying bounty campaigns are more rewarding than btc paying campaigns.
3. There are too many rules available for btc paying bounty campaigns like ranks, merits and post in the last 120days

Many bounties in service section of this forum are so annoying as they are demanding for things that you probably can't offer, like you can't join some bounties if you haven't been posting in gambling sections of the forum, this is cruel but anyways it's not by force.

It depends, if I'm promoting a bounty project from jr members to full member I won't put more heart because there is probability that I won't get paid but if the project is from a reputable bounty manager like bubbalex I'm sure I will put in more effort because getting paid is certainty

Altcoin bounty campaigns are actually profitable when you just land on projects that belong to a good team. Bounty hunters just have to pick the right ones but this is hard to see because even the good projects can become a scam.

If you hold a token that is listed on big exchanges today, you will likely see more profits for you than just joining the BTC paying campaigns. But could take time, unfortunately.

I can't be sure a manager with a good reputation will give profit many managers with good reputations that happen are scams or altcoins have no prices and are just displayed in wallets so it can't be the first choice keep reading the whitepaper, see the roadmap, partners and team when everything looks good the large potential of the project and the bounty will bring profit

The bounty campaign and its success depend on the state of the crypto market.  If there is no trend and there is no positive sign in pouring money into new projects, there is a high chance that Bounty will go down (typical example is the present time).
Besides, to make sure that we will receive a reward, you should participate in the Service topic.  There are signature campaigns and many services that need support such as telegram, content, .. usually they will pay in USDT and you will not be afraid of scams.

To be honest I think they should, not just for the sake of bounty but for understanding the way the forum works because in their attempt to hunt for bounty they may end up breaking the forum rules of which might attract a permanent ban, this should be their first priority,
And yes, understanding the forum and understanding the whole bounty hunting process will prepare them for the many disappointment that comes with being a bounty hunter, it is not an easy task, it requires lots and lots of patience.

That just comes with the territory, when the market is going up as it is doing now and it is experimenting a bull run then many projects are going to pay them their fair share and they are going to be happy with the results, but once this is over then 9 out 10 projects are going to scam them and put all kind of excuses to not pay them, as much as I would like this to be different that is the reality they are facing and they better get used to it as this is not going to change any time soon.

they are newbies that why they are less experienced but if they join at the start of this year or at the month of January , they already learned alot for that past 11 months and they can still improved it in the long run if they decide to continue this hobby .

You should have been happy if you got paid and why it's frustrating seeing bull run when you already got paid? Because you got paid by an altcoins or a token ? But if you got a good pay there's no need to be jealous but bitcoin earners are the one that are going to be jelous with you because they can only earn less on btc paying campaign

The thing is newbies or bounty hunters are taking risk on every project that they promote.
They are risking their time and effort to gain huge profit from those new projects that most would only be worthless,
But before they fail the early  holders could gain profit by dumping it before the price starts to fall I think that is what the hunters are taking it for.
They could earn more by doing it compare to weekly BTC payment if they could get into a good project that would pay them off right after the bounty.

Doing bounty now is not very a good time to join, lots of people join so the allocation got nrw divided. Also lots of rug pulls going everywhere makes your hard earn bounty useless same as airdrop

So it is, I started my journey in 2017 and left in 2019.
I came back because there is an opportunity to earn some money.
But my goals are different now, I think more about investing.

There are newcomers to. A friend of mine, who played in casinos for many years, gave up this useless occupation and decided to become an investor, he is too lazy to take part in bounty campaigns))

Lately, we rarely find a legit bounty campaigns, especially for accounts that are still newbies and can only join social media bounties, all we can get is just a few dollars.
To be honest, I hope that high-ranking BTT members who have more knowledge of the crypto world will remain active again as before so that we can all get knowledge from them.

There are many bounties campaigns each day and it is unpredictable that a certain project that you will join will be successful. There’s no guarantee that when you joined a bounty it will gives a rewards on your effort by promoting of their project.  This is why it is very important to gain knowledge and due diligence prior joining a bounty.

btcltcdigger is no longer managing bounties. He had switched to participating in bounties that pays in bitcoin, because it turned to be more profitable and easy than managing bounty or participating in bounties with token/coin payment.

“Good research” - tell me how you have chosen you bounty? Think it would be profitable?

Now the crypto market is a unpredictable one.We can only somehow predict the well known coins like bitcoin,ethereum.Other make a changes in the market now.The flow of ETH is depend on the flow of altcoin by using the Ethereum.

I don't blame btcltcdigger for quiting bounty managing, I heard that many bounty hunters don't care much about bounty managers this days, they act too mean to popular bounty managers like bubbalex, btcltcdigger and others, it's not just about how hard it is to manage bounties, it's more than that

if it is related to bounty campaign then you can choose a good project or at least the project coin already has an exchange. currently I see most of the new projects using the Defi program and some of them are listed on the DEX platform especially Uniswap. but the fact is that 2020 is very different compared to the project in 2017.

Agree with you but real projects can control the price when coin/token distributed to hunters, I joined many projects and few tokens price faced downtrend when bounty hunters got their tokens and these kind of projects are dead in the end and few Still standing high, they buy back all tokens they distributed to hunters.
It's true! in 2017 people were new in crypto and they used to invest money without any research and now everyone investigate well then they think about investment on any project. 

This is the reason why if you have the chance to participate in btc or other popular alt-paying campaigns (like eth, eos, tron), better select that option. At least you know you are getting paid each week even if the pay is not so attractive. But for bounty projects (paid in tokens or coins), you are hoping that at least they will hit in the exchange. And the usual prob here is that, once you received your share, the price is almost rock bottom, you don't even know if it is worth to sell because you still need to pay for gas fees and all.

Of course they will not care about the manager and even don't care to read all important pieces of information of bounty they followed since the most important thing for hunters is their rewards and when they would receive it. As long hunters get their rewards soon (after spamming on various platform) they would ignore everything, lol.

Even if you have a good knowledge and you are a good poster you can't participate if you are a newbie you have to be at least member to be able to participate the campaign that is running in the service section that pays Bitcoin can only accept members not lower than member.
but if you are a good poster you will have no problem ranking up, right now there are some good project in the altcoin section, we can stumble one from time to time.

Bounty are not always profitable. This is due to shit projects or scam that after your effort for months of promoting you'll get nothing.

Its really disappointing to experience such situation but thats the risk we have to take as a bounty hunter. Thats why if you know that you have what it got to be qualified in a bitcoin paying campaign then much better to switch because these kind of campaigns has an assurance that you'll get paid weekly.

Let experience be the teacher. Those who have been in this forum and had been to different bounties know how hard and frustrating things can be. There are times that bounty hunters have to take a long break from bounties and times where you work for nothing. But just keep and going and let your knowledge about crypto grow as you seek bounties. Utilize the opportunity of being here in this forum.

If we change our mindset in making relevant content in this forum then I am sure that I will compete with each other in the weekly campaign, but once they just post as they are not looking for sources and as interesting as possible to increase their activity, so if I rely on bounties I think much longer we will not get money which is just nonsense so before I was also thinking about how to profit from the bounty but after I thought it was pointless we should switch and contribute to this forum so that it can make it easier for us to get a good campaign. more feasible.

almost all newbies don't see a project as good or not they continue to try to join all IEO / ICO projects without seeing that the project really has potential and has the responsibility to pay bounty hunters, most of their projects only use bounty hunters to promote their project regularly. For free, this has happened in several projects they don't appreciate bounty hunters, they don't pay a penny, most projects that don't want to pay bounty hunters will be a scam.

The hunters should also learn a lot from there. In fact that if there are so many hunters who bllindly joining in any campaign without trying to do any research about that.
It seems like that the hunters need more education but surprisingly even the campaign has ended and there will always be a hunter who was always ending his report.

Indeed you have a point, experience is a very appropriate teacher for us, we have had a long break with the last few years, maybe only a part of the project is paying bounty hunters, maybe this is difficult for new users or who might just jump as bounty hunters, and The possibility will be something that is not sure for new users to survive this time of crisis, hopefully by the end of the year there will be significant changes regarding the development of good projects emerging, so that bounty hunters can feel back from their work ...

That is the problem of newcomers who want to enter this market to make money from bounty, I find it difficult to explain and they will learn the rules in the forum. And then time will make this newcomer better, I think this is the time when we see a lot of paid projects and this is great, and this is also the job that I think if we go through. In this market, you will get a lot of things worth not only money.

There are bunch of threads that can be considered as awareness for those hunters but they didn't care about these threads. They have no intention to learn even deeper about how to identify a good project. The bullish trend that was happening with bitcoin has been making a lot of investors are looking for alternative coins to be pumped and then it will generate a bunch of money for them.
That will also increase the probability of a successful campaign

This is only a small portion of the entire bounty experience a bounty hunter face for the past years. We need to take into consideration their tireless pursuit to find the "jackpot" bounty as they try from bounty to bounty. Being disqualified sometimes for small reasons, not getting their share when a bounty declares failure of their project, being paid worthless tokens and coins and many many others. These hardships were the reason many stop doing bounties or switched to bitcoin or satoshi based bounties and those of the top coins in crypto.

are you sure there are already so many campaigns that worth some time to be spend there?
for what I can see mostly are just a waste of time around 1 every 10 give some tokens, with a very low value (less than 10USD).
or more over it's just a scam bounty or a scam project.
probably newbie will never enter into this world with free distribution of "valuable" token. it's just the evolution of an entire industry.
I will not surprised if new way of rewarding will be proposed in the upcoming years (something more similar to DeFi then ICO itself...)

I am very choosy in picking up.the bounty campaigns that I participate in .I only chose which rewards well and has a good chance of success but after the ico they sometimes decide to postpone the distribution . This infuriates me .

I am still waiting for one of the project , they have muted the group for a long time time and it's been more than 2 weeks now .

Well, definitely there are some of the newbies who came up here in the forum who really don't have any knowledge and idea about in cryptocurrency, aside from that even they knew it is risky investing with most of the coins that are shit because they never investigate or research it first, in the end they've lost because of their negligence. So, I agreed with you that we must build knowledge first.

Yeah, most of the coins you get from airdrops now days are useless and the same can be said for the coins being given in the bounty and sometimes they do not even send the coins because the whole project is messed up and they decide not to pay anyone.

I would wish there was a platform made for token distribution and management of bounties because right now anyone can create their thread and start a bounty and participants will join without any due diligence and promote without even knowing if they are promoting a scam and at the end they wont get anything apart from empty promises.

That is how the forum works right now to be honest.

People who are new to the signature campaign and bounty thing first join the token based campaigns and after working for months they realize that now they have learned and are ready to move up to the next tier and then they join the services section based bitcoin signature campaign.

The problem if everyone suddenly joins only BTC based campaign is that the services section will become the next bounty hunting space and get crowded so I believe it is the right trend to learn in the lower campaigns and then move up for the better ones.

Also we need to understand not all tokens are useless as sometimes these altcoins can pay way higher than what a top level campaign participant will earn.

Yes it's really important for the bounty hunters that they have knowledge not only because for them to earn but also for their security and to avoid promoting scam projects. Right now I've seen some really good bounty campaigns on the forum let's hope it will continually open more good projects to come.

You forgot something about earning these coins/tokens from bounty campaigns . If you noticed after 2017 when bullrun ended most of coins/tokens failed and disappeared . So if a bounty hunter has a bad timming when it comes to selling his earnings he may lose them all.

In 2020, newbie who join the Bounty campaign I see that they are more interested in the Twitter and Facebook social media campaign because beginners if they don't have merit will find it difficult to join the signature campaign.  My prediction beginners who are often active in Bounty now understand the risks they will accept.

How else should bounty hunters act ? How would they act? They have done their work and they have full rights to ask stupid questions and repeat them. And it is bounty managers task to be calm and answer all this stupidity. He got paid for that.

Or you expect that bounty managers should only check stakes, accept participants, fill the spreadsheet? And for other kind of work he has a headache. What is "hunters don't care about managers"? Should they send them BD and xmas gift?

Ups and downs is real. We never get rid of it as long as we live. This issue is not just related with Bitcoin Forum community but also to our daily lives. Our failures lead to down trend mindset and emotional. Not referring to all but some of us experience down to earth feeling. The good thing is we managed to recover again from scratch to riches. The important thing is you bounce back and continues your good perspective in life neither in this forum or in your out side life.

Maybe that's good advice, if you qualify for a campaign on the service.
Service requirements are very strict and pay is adequate for participants, the basic rule is Merit.

However, if you have a post of good quality and meaningful especially to members and forums, you may have a requirement to get there.

For yourself how are you ready to go on board service.

Bounties in board service have strict rules, not everyone will be qualified to join and again they don't allow unlimited participants, they only allow very few, some just up to 8 bounty hunters needed, still I prefer altcoins bounties, they have better rewards than btc paying campaigns

I have a point to make on this your post, first I would like to ask if you have managed any bounty project before, if NO then it can be little tricky to understand this, if you are managing a bounty project you don't have control over the funds, all you can do is wait on the team to make payments right? So the team choose a date for you and you pinned that on your group for bounty hunters to see, here is what bounty hunters like doing

1. They don't read pinned messages
2. They spam the group asking the exact same questions multiple times
3. Some even insult bounty managers in the process
4. If rules change, like postpone payment that's when you will see the real color of some bounty hunters

Already a long time ago it was necessary to stop participating in bounty campaigns and move to a new level. The new level is investing. Only there you can make good money.

I understand that it is necessary to study projects in order not to do the work for free.
But this is a problem with our forum. The BTT forum should check teams before the start of the bounty campaign.  ;)

We're back in the old good days, but altcoins aren't in the same position as before. We know that altcoins number is increasing everyday and now twice the time than old good days. Thanks for your advice. From now on I will check more in the service sections for some quality campaigns. I want to see the results in this case.

Whether a noob or someone experienced, you still have to know the procedures to choose the right projects.You have to know the right managers to work with, know their history and whether they are the types of managers that gets the right projects, and the steps they follow with choosing projects to manager, for example there are managers that will ask for escrow upfront, and some of them will not.

No lies in that, most of them only care about the payment they are getting from those hosting the projects, whether the hunters are getting paid or not is none of their business. Just as I first mentioned about escrow, a lot of hunters have complained about this, that they want to managers to be asking for escrows to secure their hard work, but most of them wouldn’t.

I think for newbie become frustrated when trying for joining bounty campaign after payment delay, reward send in several phase and most frustrated when know with coin is not have value any more. Just the bad reputation for newbie and give up for never joining bounty campaign any time. I know how is hard when beginning with bounty campaign from joining social media campaign where we should active for submit reporting each week until think how to make creative tweet for social media campaign, joining more than four until six week at the end just received above $10 is most disappointed because they have working hard and waiting for ling time, this happen now with bounty campaign but I keep working and looking for good bounty campaign for joining.

New projects that gives away this type of bounty usually do not do it because they are giving free money and they are charitable organizations, they do it because you help them get more known, the more they have people who hunt for their bounty means there is more people who work to get their name heard, and the idea is that if they give away free tokens but get heard enough that during their pre-sale they get a lot of funding, they would be able to cover that difference and make a profit.

Also these teams got these tokens for free, they created it, so it is safe to say that they are not losing any money neither, they are just giving away something free and claim it worths money. So at the end of the day, bounty programs are not there to help you, it is there to help the projects.

If you can't digest altcoin Bounties failure then it's better to start promoting bitcoin paying campaigns, I personally still prefer trying out my luck, to say the truth altcoin bounties have better rewards than bitcoin paying bounties, if you can do good research you won't promote scam or bad projects

Usually the reason why they postpone bounty payments is the fact that the amount they expected their coin will be drops significantly, and they do not want to give people the chance to sell even more with the bounty income they got and drop it even further.

Let's say you are head of a project and you are creating a new token, you say each token will worth 10 cents and you sell accordingly, for pre-sale you sell your tokens for 5 cents in order to promote it and make investors earn the moment it hits the exchanges, but you know that 10 cents was something you made up and not real and not what market thinks it will worth and the only correct price is what market says not what you say.

So, you sell enough and hit the exchanges but people sell it for 4-5 cents, if you distribute tens of thousands of dollars worth of your token, you know it will drop to 2-3 cents as well, so you postpone it until price recovers over 7 cents.

one thing to note for newbies, getting money from a bounty is not as easy as turning your palm.  The old members have felt a lot of things in this forum starting from getting very high payments and also not being paid at all.  the bounty that provides fixed payment rates very stable in providing payment but has tough conditions, if you want to reach it you must meet the requirements given by the bounty manager.  Don't complain, just improve your skills, your posting, and your account rank to reach a bounty that pays well..

You are comparing two disparate bounty managers, btcltcdigger has not had any successful projects in my memory (I may be wrong, but these will be isolated cases). As for bubbalex - I asked to him, he says that he will take a break from bounty campaigns for the time being.

Yes, now scammers also do projects and make their bounty.

I think we should report their names and profiles, that some cases are false.

Do not let yourself ...

I want to talk about the "Youengine" campaign which distributed a huge amount of tokens between bounty hunters. The price was dumped and started pumping again. To get proper knowledge about cryptocurrency about cryptocurrency, all projects should follow some rules of Youengine projects. Newbies should have some knowledge before filling up the joining form.

You are suggesting for newbie that go to the service board for quality campaign?? Are you don't know that the service board only accepts Sr Member+, for Full member rarely, and you give suggestions like this?? Even with your Member rank can't be accepted in the service board and how can you give suggestions like that??

My suggestion for you "give make sense suggestion"

Altcoin campaigns are more common and allow for easy access. Most bounties for new campaigns don't have any trust requirements or anything like that.

You can be a forum spammer with basic vocabulary and still manage to earn a few coins. That's why people join them because to get a spot in a bitcoin campaign you usually need more effort. Then they get scammed or get less money than they were expecting and complain about it.

It's not ups and downs, it's the choices you make.

It's not all of the people qualified to did it and if there's an easy task and there will be so many hunters will try to participate in the bitcoin campaign.

We have seen so many altcoin campaigns that have been paying its participants with a lot of money. I see some campaign has been paying for 1k dollars each participant in a month of the campaign just like hex campaign, or another campaign.

Proper research is actually needed.

true, a lot of scammers are starting projects (fake projects) with promising bounties just to get people's attention, then after their ieo or whatever, it's time for an exit scam, but some projects look legit but i guess they are not well experienced in the crypto world and they fail.

I like to move but with my current account my only option is to stay here in the altcoin bounty section, those campaigns are only for high-rank members, the only campaign that accepts low rank are Bitvest and 777Coin, although the pay is good, I till prefer to take a risk on altcoin bounty even though there are uncertainty.

one way is to improve the quality of ourselves. but sometimes the conditions in the market do not support what we have prepared. many scam projects and it will leave us with no good land. Some projects that look good are still doubtful for us to support.

actually a lot of bounty hunters who want to participate in the service room. but the competition there is very tough. especially for bounty hunters starting in 2020. quality, quantity, experience, and also about merit. most of it is insufficient for that. so the alternative to bounty hunters is the altcoin session. I agree that bounty hunters should better understand how it works here. so as not to waste time wasted. including I also don't have much experience on this forum. and need to learn a lot.

For those new to this space working and finding money it is very difficult for them, as forum rules will not yet allow new members to join the required bounty projects need account rank, moreover the bonus scam projects are also many and if you do not have any work experience you will lose meaningless time for that work and i find it necessary for such projects to must warn people and let them recognize dangerous projects.

I have been bounty program participants from 2019 until now I didn't know much about bounty projects at first, it seemed the first 6 months of doing it was the hardest time for newbies Starting out like me, taking a lot of time and the result seems to be a zero, gradually I learned how to evaluate projects and shifted to media campaigns instead of doing every social campaign. And now that I have probably achieved some results, I hope those new to the platform should carefully learn the rules and how to evaluate legitimate projects professionally to avoid Unfortunate results ::) ::) ::)

The level of your experience from different bounty campaigns results is what will reshape you into a smarter bounty hunter, it's all about experience, whatever happens on your journey learn from it, the reason why many have more bad ending in bounties is because they don't know how to do research, they just promote anything they see fit.

I have monitored and researched several bounty campaigns this year, and the results have been quite positive. Many bounty campaigns
pay bounty hunters as promised, even though the pay is very small. But when compared to 2019, this year's bounty campaign is much
better. I'm not worried about old members who have the ability to do research to choose bounty projects that are legit. But for newbies
who still have trouble choosing legit bounty projects, they should be more careful in choosing bounty campaigns.

I kinda like taking risks with altcoin paying bounties because once they are successful the reward will be insane, do you remember DIA? Jr members are able to earn up to 250$ and members are able to earn over 350$, with this ranks a btc paying campaign can never pay that much, this is why I prefer taking risks with altcoin bounties

Moreover, quality bounties in subservices have quite tough requirements, especially for newbies, there is a minimum requirement for merit and post quality.
Joining bounty alts is indeed easier, but we never know whether our hard work will be paid for. Many things are unpredictable, it could be that the coin or token is good on the market or not, many things can happen too, for example, your prize is not distributed on schedule, not listed on the market, etc.
Before actually deciding to be involved with a bounty, it is better if we read and understand the risks, so we don't get angry easily and rush when expectations don't match reality.

Abundance crusade that they have taken it will really give a colossal effect on the consequence of abundance toward the finish of the mission. When the bitcoin bearish pattern will happen and we will confront another troublesome circumstance brought about by the simply opportunity to get an effective mission to turn out to be little.

These merit and post quality is for me, not a tough requirement. Since we are dealing with money or potential money, the Bounty campaign could be easily abused by bounty hunters and it's a fact that there is a bounty that is useless or turned out to be a scam, we can't deny that the requirements are needed. There are several bounties before that don't really have a requirement it's just the ranks that separate the allocation, It was abused and the forum post quality suddenly dropped and there is a point that the mod in this forum created a sub-board for just the bounties.

Newbies who know their way to the bounty section?, I feel like they are alts accounts of people who know the risk of participating in a bounty campaign, but if truly they are newbies then they just don't know who to follow, I see alot of them sign up in bounty campaigns that already appears to be a scam,immediately they see a new bounty they will just quickly sign up without looking at the bounty manager past records, alot of newbies help in advertising scam projects, and in the end they get nothing from it, I really don't know when they are gonna stop this, cus they keep encouraging scammers to come back and post more scam bounties.

Because this forum aren't supposed to be a source of income by shitposter. The main purpose of bitcointalk is discussing about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, you could earn by joining a campaign but it just a bonus... Not a stable income. If you want to work, go to find a job in real life.

To limit the 'not getting paid' problems from new project teams in crypto space we should encourage many bounty managers to consider using escrow on every bounties they introduce, or bounty hunters should stop joining bounties from new members on this forum

You are correct but not 100% correct, we are here to discuss about crypto like you said but crypto is built on volatility and volatility is what makes crypto a place to earn, all new projects popping up today are not just here to solve crypto problems only, they are here to make money in the process, talking about making money promoting new projects is a good thing to talk about

But the fact is that even everyone has considered this Forum to be their place of work to make a living, and turned around with what you said, not a place to discuss bitcoin or cryptocurrency anymore, some people have forgotten the jobs out there and spend their time looking for income. in the prize campaign on this Forum, so that's why many people forget about the main objective of Bitcointalk itself ..

Yes, it is true that at this time, bounty hunters are difficult to find bounties that really pay, in contrast to 2017-2018 80% bounties pay up to $ 20,000 per person. I will say if a beginner bounty hunter will be disappointed with what they are working because in the year only 5% might pay the bounty hunter. I myself also often get failed projects and they don't give me anything.

Abundance crusade that they have taken it will really give a gigantic effect on the aftereffect of abundance toward the finish of the mission. many left in light of the fact that endless tasks are falling flat and they end up not paying members yet is that the genuine meaning of an abundance tracker.

Agree with this! Like omg! some of them maybe didn't read the rule or didn't use the search bar before posting. It is good that they want to create threads and share their thoughts but duplicate topics are not good, and sooner or later it will be deleted by Adkins and mods. I also monitoring some Bounty and Twitter? unlike before our tweets and posts are better than them.

No lies in that, most of them only care about the payment they are getting from those hosting the projects, whether the hunters are getting paid or not is none of their business. Just as I first mentioned about escrow, a lot of hunters have complained about this, that they want to managers to be asking for escrows to secure their hard work, but most of them wouldn’t.

It's not the problem but the main problem should be even the newbies who have been fully educated were still ignoring any awareness about the project when there's a suspicious thing related to the project.
I wanna tell you about there were some scam bounties that being promoted by the hunters even there's a lot of scam accusations against it.
Some hunters were just like bots.

If you still have a thing for bounty hunting just accept how things are presently, changes may come in future but nothing is guaranteed in this space so learn to adapt and learn to choose the right projects and also limit your expectations too.

Choose new projects carefully, find reputable bounty managers to follow or join btc paying bounties, the choice is yours to make, and also do not expect huge rewards from bounty projects, it's more tasking right now so you need to work harder and expect less, unfortunately this is the way it is

Even experienced bounty hunters are constantly deceived by various bounty companies and there is nothing to be done about it, so we just need to move on and not bother about this topic, but newbies will have the same problems as experienced bounty hunters, because we all participate in the same bounty companies, so that newcomers will eventually understand how the bounty sphere works.

The most important thing is how you can do research on a project if you want to join a bounty. Everything is almost unpredictable in crypto, but atleast we can do some research to find good projects

For you to be a successful bounty hunter proper information and guidance is paramount. Every hunter need invest or save his/her money well when it comes because it is not always rosy. I have at least 3 years in the hunting business. Sometimes its up, sometimes it's down.

Hmm, this platform has been very helpful by providing very important information from people with experience. They say experience is the best teacher and a big thank you for all of you who has been sharing your experience for us to learn from. Above all research about the project will be very helpful.

Still it will be a stupid move to join bounties because crypto market is doing fine right now, without proper research you will end up promoting a crap project that will give you worthless tokens for months of working, do research and go for interesting projects

The first experience of promoting a new project is the hardest, if you don't end up getting paid even make things worse but once you start getting over disappointments like it's nothing you will get better at it, how to do research on projects is of different levels, you can better when failure finds you, don't quit

Most new bounty hunters don't do good research on bounties, they even prefer looking at the max allocation of the bounty campaign and start dreaming about how many tokens they gonna get, the truth about good bounties is they always have very low allocations, what matters is value not quantities

Hex bounty campaign is worth the risk and the team are reliable because this isn't the first campaign they will throw to bounty hunters this year, they have BTC and Alt paying campaigns, so not getting paid is never gonna happen, it seems this year is full of better bounty campaigns compared to the past

It doesn't matter if a bounty participant is newbie or old his/her first priority should be to avoid scam and suspicious bounty projects unfortunately this is not happening mostly bounty participants are working blindly especially new participants, in the temptation of huge reward beside this they have forgotten the main purpose of this forum which is to contribute by taking part in discussions to share their thoughts and ideas, that's shameful.

Been a bounty hunter shouldn't bring shame for people, I learnt how to do good research on new projects through bounty projects, I'm able to detect which project is worth the risk than the other, thanks to bounties participation

I think the Hex project is going to be a lot better their teams are very active.no worries about getting paid They are already planning to make weekly payments which is trying to improve their project money this grace project is underway in both bitcoin and altcoin. Whatever comes will be much better in the case of token exchange it is difficult to determine which project is better in the opening activities many projects are scammed at the end of the work not giving any grants and locking everything up.

In 2017, there was some kind of information boom around bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general. Against this background, a lot of people came to cryptography and to the forum. It was a good time for bounty hunters. Then many, disappointed, left, some forever, and some returned. There are many projects on the forum, but most of them are dummies that nobody needs, and no one can answer how to separate the good from the bad.

There are still many scam bounties this year, I don't see the difference between 2020 bounty projects to that of 2019, last year there are many successful bounty projects too, those who are complaining are those who missed out of the promising bounty projects

Scam projects can't be totally avoided even if you know how to do good research but bounty hunters should stop joining bounties for stupid reasons like quantities of tokens or promised listing on top exchanges, it's better to do deep research first and make sure the teams are more in for the project

If you lack patience and endurance bounties is not for you, if you want to succeed in promoting good projects you will need patience and endurance because not all the projects will bring good results in the end, some will fail and some will succeed

Well, every Newbie that would start joining bounty campaigns and different parts of that campaign will surely be culture shocked on how to participate in these kinds of campaigns. The best way to have knowledge regarding these campaigns is to experience the ups and downs because it will surely teach a lesson to them. They should just keep in mind that they should not be weak willed since anything can happen within the Cryptocurrency. You earn some, you lose some.

I agree with this, not all projects could bring you good profit. Even if you review it well there's no assurance that the coins they will give to you would worth your hardwork so you really need to invest time and effort and not afraid to take risk.

It follows the market movement very closely. 2 years ago we kept seeing threads about bounty scam, because that was 2 years bearish market. Now when the market is growing again, I see bounty gradually becoming profitable as before.

It seems like there are only a few beginners this year, current beginners are very difficult to move up the ranks, so I think that's the reason why there are no beginners, most of the old accounts that have left the old bounties, now they have risen again, because seeing now bounties are better and pay a lot  bounty hunters, unlike last year's many were scams.

If they actually run the business after doing the campaign, even though the payouts are very slow, I don't think it's a problem for us. But most of the team left their project, and ignored every question, some even lost track. This is what annoying participants with the altcoin project.
The most painful thing is when we are blocked from asking questions in their group. But I have been here for a long time, I think problems like this have become part of the experience. So it doesn't matter small things like that.

We all did the same but the working process is the difference. Some of us trust bounty manager or any exchange or partnership but visiting websites will increase your knowledge and partnership focus must be active. I will tell to research newbies on scam projects, why someone put scam sealed on new projects. It will make you stronger to make decisions.

Or simply, those newbies should know how bounty hunters were treated even after supporting the project,

Bounty hunters are considered as the one who kills the project due to suspicion of being the reason of dumping the price of their token in the market. Wherein, there's only a few percentage of bounty was allocated but still bounty hunters are to be blame in the end.

Indeed, there are some projects who pay bounty hunters nowadays but we can still see a lot of scam projects, we're still far from what we have are before.

I experienced all of this when I was active in the bounty campaign, really frustrating, you are pinning your hopes in these projects but but almost all of them are failing you, they will either scam you, never gave you your stakes lock you and sometimes they ask you token so they can send you your rewards, the altcoin section is very unpredictable, you are exposed to so many scam projects.

There isn't any effective way to avoid scam projects, they are always available every time, here are few things to watch out for to atleast be more safer ..

1. Join bounties from reputable bounty managers.
2. Avoid bounties with high allocations
3. Join bounties with limited participants

That's not guarantee bro, previously there were lots of bounties managed by high rank managers and even the members who joined also had high ranks but in the end they ended up being a scam. Ahh ,, I forgot the name of the campaign.
The point is, for newbie members, don't just look at the rank of the participants who join but look at the quality of the project. ;)

if it's like that then it can't be faulted that the bounty campaign participants only do their job and don't know that, including the bounty manager sometimes only carries out their duties, if I'm on the bounty campaign side then I do the job and after that for the results I only consider it a bonus from the business I did it, because if at the beginning we hoped for the results it only made us disappointed because sometimes the results of the bounty campaign did not match what was done.

Yes but now I see many projects which were listed they still launch bounty just for the purpose of attracting more community for themselves. Hunter also becomes wiser, so I can see the number of fake or scam bounties also decreasing.

but that is the thing, most of the hunters now doesn't care about that, they are just joining any project that they want, and doing task without effort I mean, I always see some of their posts from other campaign then they will copied that and put different hashtags then they will submit it, as of it is original ones. it's kind confusing that why don't they even do some effort to make a quality posts or even check the Bounty before enything else.

IMO that high likely done by another accounts farmer or newbies wherefore don't really care about the quality of their posts and attempt to participate in any bounty campaign to grab the coins/tokens as much as they can,

Yep, seems bounty is much better than the previous year (2019).
Now, there are many bounties that really pay the bounty hunters. Even the payment isn't so big, but at least the token from the bounties can be tradable on exchanges. It is true that after IEO is getting famous, looks like the bounty programs having better days than in 2019. Well, let's hope this good condition to continue till the future.  ;)
 

This life itself is full of ups and down actually hence we can't really predict what will happen when you join bounties. Every bounty hunter should make it a necessity to do their own research when participating in campaigns. But it will turn to shit if it's meant to. Sometimes project do really try their best but there are lots of competition out there and they may fail while some can just be a scam from the get go.

Bounty hunters especially newbies shouldn't just rush into joining campaigns and not spend a little time looking through the plan and see development is indeed ongoing. Being a bounty hunter is also categorized as being an investor just that hunters invest time (which is also precious) hence join campaigns that are worth your time and stop playing gamble all the time by join majorities. Choose wisely and don't just take their words for it

i do agree , today we see many good bounty campaign occur again in crypto forum. market bullish condition really support and make bounty hunter have new spirit to work on bounty campaign, all project get its hype again and investors gradually back to new project. fearness about scam project now decrease alot since they see crypto price increase extremely in few weeks ago.
