IF only hunters would have known better that all promises made BEFORE Bounties kick off are fake, Lies and depict.
IF only hunters know that they are working just to promote projects that investors will dump on them and then comes back to blame the hunters that they are responsible.
IF only hunters would have known that the even the Bounty manger could be deceived.
IF only hunters would has known that they are wasting Huge time working on a project that willl later change the entire business structure including social media channels just to dismiss anything that have to do with them.
IF only hunters would has known all are empty promises between them, BM and project developers.
IF ONLY hunters would has known that 90% of the bounties they participated will Not consider them talk more of payment.
IF only hunters would have known that some of the bounties they are campaigning for Now was a dead project that declined payments hoping that they have made huge achievements but get dumped by investors only for them to run back to the same markets that made them famous.  

IF ONLY they know some of these FACTS about the projects they campaigned and many more to come....

Sad thing is, they do

Most of the hunters know these things, but like robots that they are, they register and do whatever comes along.
Do a small analysis, and you will see that there's 70% of the same people in ALL active bounties.

That's right, they just register to whatever comes along and follow it blindly. It's like hit and miss for them.

Why do they do it?
Poverty, boredom, chance of new bitcoin.

many projects or bounties commit cheating when the bounty is completed, I personally experience this often there is nothing  can do just only give up and accept it all until now this problem has no solution Escrow might be the way out of this problem, The bounty manager holds all prizes when the bounty is opened for the first time and of course the project owner cannot cheat on the bounty hunter anymore

I'm pretty sure that bounty hunters really know all this stuff, but they chooses to ignore and make a gamble of every bounty projects they join because they think that we are still in the 2017 boom wherein being a bounty hunter will give them huge amount of profits.

And now that we are in the bull run already, again, they are hoping for a repeat, but I guess it won't happen as we have seen projects keep failing in the end, and only a few are just benefiting from it. Like the people behind, the whales and pump and dump groups.

They know that a project  can be a scam because there isn't really a real product yet but all just a promise but participating to the bounty campaigns still is lucrative because some of the projects can unexpectedly become real and are very rewarding. There are many of these projects are actually paying good when the team come up with a semi unfinished product but token being listed on exchanges.

Many of the users didn't take the risk because more than 50% of the projects are scam. You're one of them if you prefer to chose the BTC paying campaigns.

For the sake of just a small money, they are willing to do everything.

2 things why they are doing it.
1. Trust - trust in the project and they are hoping that they will be paid after promoting the campaign
2. Hope - hope that these developers will pay the bounty hunters because they advertised their project in different ways.

Right now, success of bounty campaigns is very low and what I mean when I say successful is that they will be a successful project within the next 3-5 years. As a bounty hunter, there is nothing you can do but to try and try. If you get paid and get some few bucks then good for you but if you didn't paid, move on and find another project again. That is the life of a bounty hunter right now.

it's valid especially for the social media campaign participants. As stated by someone above me and I'm sure if you can see someone who have participated in a social media campaign already applied to the all of campaigns.
So many social media participants just like bots or I could say if they were the bots.
I have been see so many times even the campaign has ended 1, 3 or even a half of year and there were still social media participants created reports. The risk is very high.

Promises are made to be broken and this known qoute can be fully applied to cryptocurrency specifically in an ICO projects. Well, we do not have choice but to carefully check the project and fully aware on the possibilities either joining in bounty or investing in an ICO projects. However, I am more confident in joining projects that are being promoted by known bounty manager especially if it pay real fiat currency or bitcoin. Unfortunately joining project which pays btc are only having limited slot and are only good for higher ranks with high earn merits or with reputable and trustworthy.

I'm pretty aware of the risks involved in promoting new projects as a bounty hunter, I am just a type who cherish any possibilities and hopes, it's better to have a hope on something that could possibly work out than not working on anything at all, apart from bounties every thing in this world requires trying again and again before it works out, nothing was never easy so bounties problem isn't a big deal for me anymore.

To avoid messed up like this. Don't ever participate on a shady campaign. Even me myself joined countless of these bounty and I can see based on the action of the BM if the project would pay or not their promise payment.

These what if should be realize by bounty participants themselves. Hope is sometime okay but begging for a project to compensate as like we are look beggars are not okay. I've had some unpaid campaigns also in the past and of course I cant force if the project totally abandon they promises. Just put a negative outlook on these people and warn others to avoid these managers if they run with them.

You can have more positive results and less bad results when promoting bounties by doing the following

1. Only promote projects from well rated bounty managers
2. Promote trading projects only
3. Go for Bitcoin paying campaigns or other popular crypto coins

It's not a must to promote bounties all the time, some people always think that it's normal to promote projects every time but they don't know that high quality projects won't be available every time

It is not easy to know, if not many hunters will avoid some bounties because at the end they won't worth your time, I have participated in the Akoin bounty, till now we don't know what is the situation of the bounty, the bm has suddenly stop responding for so long, project is already listed on bittrex but bm is no where to be found, he refuse to publish the bounty spreadsheet, the signature lasted for 5 weeks but no single spreadsheet was published by the bm, very surprising and disturbing.

 for bounty hunters to know this they have to work to rise above the settle for less dwellers, its just what it is, campaign, campaign manager picked you not perturbed about their knowledge, what they have been doing before selection, and the project that care-less are they project that would care-less for bounty hunters after campaign, nothing is stopping bounty hunters -especially those lets give the luck a go-

Yes, we all know about these risks, but we have little choice.  Now it is very difficult to say in advance which project will be fraudulent, which one is simply unsuccessful, and which one will make a profit, therefore, many participate in the largest number of ICO bounty campaigns in the hope that at least some of them will make a profit.  Apparently, these people have a lot of free time, and active participation in the forum allows you to keep abreast of the events taking place in the world of cryptocurrency.

Do you think all bounty hunters have enough time to do their own diligence? Always we blame the managers if the project turned into a scam. But what is the role of hunters? They have been spreading the word about the project and that's how investors notice the project. So, hustlers have a responsibility to identify legit projects. Perhaps there are a few hunters who care about their time and research before promoting a project. But sadly, a big part of hunters doing nothing except spam on social media. They even don't care if they receive the tokens, I have experience with that. I fight for hunters but no one from hunters supports us.

Yes, they see this like a *free* lottery. They believe at least one or two of these campaigns will reward them a nice profit and I don't doubt some of them even think they can become rich by promoting the correct token.
Actually if all of them stopped enrolling in every campaign disponible the number of tokens being launched and the number of scams would probably decrease and the payrates of the legit campaigns would increase, as scarce labor supply forces employers to increase the rates.

;D coming from you a one time bounty manager. I suppose you should understand this well because you have also managed both Scam, legit and fake bounties. Many hunters take bounty hunting as a full time job because that is the only place they get their source of living and they will do anything to make sure they are always ready and participate in active bounties. Only few of them take time to even analyzed the bounties they have participated on. Ones they received their reward and trade it, life goes on. This is the reason why many regard hunters as dumpers. I honestly think bounty hunters too have a role to play in reducing chance of investors getting into scam project if they also analyzed project well before joining. I reported about a scam platform currently launching a bounty here on BTT https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295510.0 but up till now, new hunters are still joining and promoting the scam 

I think that the bounty hunters already know these things before applying for bounty campaigns. But most of them still don't care about them and continue to do so blindly. I assume that kind of people don't do bounty hunting as their main job. So, it will not be too much devastating for them.

I have seen that most of the times the bounty hunters are exploited, abused and mishandled either by the project team or the bounty managers. I just wonder that when these people will become professional and give hunters the due respect that they deserve because they are the real crypto marketing and awareness workers that are inevitable for all kinds of new projects to send their message across the market.

thats right, a quality bounty campaign project will not come everytime, thats mean we should try to learn more about any campaign before we decide to join, wich mean we need to have enough knowledge about that my friend

Now the bounty hunters getting very low money as payment. Sometimes they are forced have a 20$ for the payment of two months work. Secondly the tokens price will reduce after the bounty ends and the tokens sale end. This two disappointed the workers, who work in bounty for their live support. The bounty should bring the concept of weekly payment.

What more can we do? Even in life, when life becomes difficult to overcome, you just had to keep trying since you don't really know the plan that will really work. The same principle applies to Bounty hunting, if most of the promises we have seen in Bounty thread are really true as they claim, everyone on this forum will be super reach by now.
The bottom line is, don't give up participate in almost all Bounties organised by a reputable manager from this forum, one or two payment will surely be paid and will cover the rest that has waste your time and effort.

You may also participate in signature campaigns, most of their payment sometimes are guaranteed and you don't have to keep waiting for payment since participants are very limited in spot.

You have already explained the many risks of being bounty hunters because we are constantly experiencing bounty payment uncertainty and have no research expertise. If only the hunters know about the bad indications on the project then leave and find other bounties.

For some reasons I don't usually like it when we involve the blockchain with emotions; when there are situations with too many ifs, buts, then it doesn't seem right. Before joining Bounty hunting, you need to take precautions, so that you can limit your chances of not being paid

I believe bounty hunters know about all like this, I also believe they know that there's always a 50% chance that a project might turn out to be a scam, even when scam is boldly written on some projects i still see so many bounty hunters registering and complete all the required tasks, sometimes I ask myself if they don't bother to do a little research before joining the bounty campaigns, they just hop on every ride (every campaign) without doing a proper research to know if the project is real or not, then in the end when the project doesn't pay, they will start crying and calling all bounties scam, my advice is always follow a reputable campaign manager to avoid situations like this.

I can proudly say that the bounty hunters are the reason behind bounty project not keeping their promises because most of them dont care about doing diligence research about the project (especially the smart contract details)and the team involved all the care about is only the promises make by the project team

Bounty hunters know well about this. It is just they keep on believing that luck will come at them. I mean, they consider it as luck or just a chance for them if the bounty will pay. They keep on getting as active as they can, they continue to participate in many different bounty campaigns to increase their chance of receiving the payment.

These are the "IFs" of all the bounty hunters which they are hoping to have assurance knowing that we work very hard and compassionate just to promote a certain projects in order to attract plenty of investors. If all of false hope and fake promises is being done accordingly then many hunters will be more likely to work enthusiastic and work actively.

that means those people didn't know about that. If they are still ignoring any awareness about the bounty scam and can we call them all as the real hunters? The hunters must also have responsibility to spread the awareness when there were scam bounties.
They are applying for all of the campaign and that's why they didn't have time to take a look at the awareness.
Even the bounty was a scam and they are still hoping to get reward from there.

Bounty hunters for sure are aware of these things and they also know the possible things that might happen to a certain project but they're taking all the risks because of the hope of gaining a good reward. It's just a sad thing that some bounties are taking advantage of the neediness of bounty hunters not considering their time and effort to promote their projects. Instead of being grateful for their effort, bounty hunters usually end up being blamed when most investors dump their coins.

This I am looking most effective bounties campaign for joining like paid every week or they will give payment soon after bounty ended, I know with many cheat bounty campaign manager and ICO project just give promise about bounty coin distribution. I think during joining is free I don't care with pay or not because this our risk when joining with free project for promoting, almost job have risk and trade will get problem with loss but joining bounty only loss our time and not loss our money, I enjoy because I get many good coin and ever get many scam bounty campaign without distribution yet.

Yes, the chances of not being paid when hunting bounties are great and there are, but all hunters find it difficult to know this at the end of the bounty, even though he has done in-depth research and research at the start of the bounty, it will only help him a little.

Upon all the negative results from bounty campaigns there are still some new projects that always stick to their promises, they make sure they pay bounty hunters without any delays, think about this before worrying about not getting paid, I won't stop promoting good protects until no single bounty project is paying anymore

You seem to be disappointed as a bounty hunter.
Mentalize yourself, there are not always good projects.
Some leave money, others don't. This is a risk.

What are you creating a protection promotion for? whether to evict a bounty that doesn't pay out? if yes, then that's good, but for now I see that there are still a number of bounty projects that are willing to pay participants on time, even if only in very small amounts.

You can't expect all humans to be nice or good, some will be bad and some will be evil, different people brings in new projects into crypto space and seek for bounty hunters help to promote them but how they are going to act after the bounty ends is unknown, humans (project teams) are the major problem of bounties, promoting projects is like have faith on humans when we know how deceitful humans are

What's the point?
You could state it directly and short.
"If only bounty hunters did their homework."
That is? To review everything even at the smallest detail.

I doubt they did.
I am not saying all of them but most are just entering the bounty job dazzled by how much money was offered.
It's a fact.
If you ask them, they don't even know what the project is all about.
I'm not against bounty hunters but I am against those who blame the management and burst into madness after a bad experience even though s/he didn't even try to understand what he stepped into.

If only hunters aren't lazy picking random bounty and checking the team before joining then they could have a higher chance on earning than being scam.
Hunters are also to be blame about it because they continue on supporting scam/shitty projects,
But let's go back to the title if only bounties will keep their promise then all hunters would be rich or earn a huge amount just like back in 2017.

Before joining bounty campaign you should know about ICO project because is most important way to know success or not an ICO project, I always check on smart contract of ICO project when joining bounty campaign during coin still have ICO time, I see how much coin have sold to investor and know how much supply coin before joining. I think success or not an ICO project depend with how much coin sold, if not investor wanna buy ICO coin absolutely ICO will die and bounty campaign is pause without payment, or if continue for sending reward maybe you can't sell coin with good price.

I agree because most bounty hunters are the people who doesn't really care for a fraud project because they were trying to have some lottery ticket that might make them a millionaire some day. Yes, bounty hunting is like hunting for a lottery ticket because there's just so little chance to really win some profit in it.

Yes, that's right, because of that the hunters must always be observant and careful in choosing the bounty they will participate in, starting from seeing the team, manager, white paper and project concepts and project collaboration partners with anyone, it is all for the sake of persistence given by bounty hunters to projects through promotions.

This is the sad truth hunter have always been treated badly I don't know why but most projects don't consider them at all and most manager are just middle men that only paid for they services and most cases the bounty manager is paid in bitcoin even before the bounty Begin's.

Most bounty hunters are aware of these facts, however, there are times that there is no other choice but to take the chance or to hold on to luck. The only thing that a bounty hunter can do is to move on to another project if the next one is over even if it pays or not, getting paid or getting scammed is one of the risk they know they have to take once they join a project.

It is true that there is no guarantee of being a bounty hunter, at least we are devoted to helping the growth of Cryptocurrency, most people following the bounty campaign all aim to get payment for our work, but being a bounty hunter has its advantages, namely the knowledge and theory of The discussion that we are carrying out, at least it can become our insight in the future, and not all bounty hunters should be blamed because we also started getting to know this forum to become bounty hunters ..

If they would keep their promise and their tokens worth then we could have a great reward and it would really be worth it,
Unlike what we have right now that seems only small chance getting paid and having a real money from the reward.

It is rare to see a bounty now keep promises when the bounty has been completed that happened just the opposite when the bounty was finished a lot of drama was done by the project owner from allocation cuts lock down distribution tokens gradually didn't even pay at all, I am personally confused when, this problem can be removed from the world bounty and made the bounty hunter smile

There is nothing to be done, unfortunately, too many bounty companies turn out to be a scam, but there are also many bounty companies that bring good income, so you shouldn't bother too much on scam bounty companies and you just need to go further, I also have already gone this way and now I don't even pay attention to bounty companies that for various reasons did not pay tokens.

Exactly, i've seen it all, good and bad.
And i always say, if you treat bounty hunting as a job, you're doing it wrong. Bounty is not meant to be a job or a business, but an opportunity to help a project.
Sadly, nowadays, it's an industry.

Take it or leave it, there is nothing that can change the conditions and problems from bounty hunting, it's forever going to keep happening and if you don't like it just quit, projects team are different in nature, they aren't another kinda beings, they are people like us so they can betray, keep their promise, or ignore responsibility, Bounties shouldn't be considered as a means of constant earnings, it's base on pure luck most times, team can still say no to bounty hunters after using them

Because  most hunter dont know which one bounty is good.
But some hunter do a lot research before join, and also look at market movement, if btc going up then altcoin will follow it, with new project also they will get hype from raising bitcoin price.

Of course bounty hunters are aware of that. Here's a fact most of the bounty hunters can't figure out what project is legitimate and which project is not and in result they just join any bounty project so they would be able to join the legit ones.

I agree! Most of the hunters are taking risks in promoting any projects they think they can earn but sadly that at the end, they just wasting their time. But because of poverty, boredom, desire to earn, they are still trying and trying and taking risks whatever the outcome.

The bounty hunters are not after the project's idea but just the tokens and trading it to BTC.  Not saying all of them but mostly its what they are after, this is why the legit project will also take precautions upon distributing their tokens like sending half of what they earn after months and another distribution after months.

Recently everyone saw very strong skirmishes between the Bounty manager and the administration of the PayAccept project. The fact is that in this case, the team paid twice the remuneration for advertising its project, while hiring a marketing campaign and a bounty manager. They were provided with full payment in advance, and later with the Bounty company serious problems emerged. Many Bounty Hunters have not received their reward.

It's either you get used to bounty issues or you leave bounties behind because this will keep going on for many years to come, not even escrow can erase the problems facing new projects promotion today, even escrow bounties still turn scam too, nothing is certain when promoting projects that's why we should join at our convenient times, not to be taken too serious because if the unexpected happens it won't hurt too much

When you have a bounty that is decentralized which is becoming something, you are actually doing something that will worth some money, people are missing out on that fact and that is the biggest problem. Think about it this way, if you end up with a system where when you like and follow and retweet someone with a sort of form, and another human checks it, what stops them from ignoring you? They will do it whenever they can.

However when a system checks it and pays you automatically when they see you doing it, that will pay you without a doubt. Worst part is, when these projects ignore paying you, they are not ignoring to pay you usd or btc neither, it is literally their own token they just created which costs nothing to them, no idea why decline paying zero cost stuff to people.

There are actually lots of things you should consider before choosing a particular project, you can actually check their whitepaper, that is one thing you should consider when choosing a particular project because sometimes their platform is not that good and not that promising, that is why every project is producing whitepaper, that is actually for investors who want to support their project because whitepaper takes a good role in a project having all of the information about the project placed inside that document. Not only that, but you can also check their website and roadmap, you can see there if they are really serious that they are making a good website and roadmap that is possible to happen and be done by that particular project.

Unfortunatly some scams are hard to distinguish and we can not blame the bounty managers because of it they are only doing their jobs same as bounty hunters this is an incoveniant of crypto i myself joined a lot of bounties that i did not get rewards from but still its a good way to earn money you do not have to wake up every morning and go to work and still get profits with little effort.

That doesn't work anymore,

There are other things that we need to consider not only their whitepaper or if the project is promising. Since even those projects with a good platform including their whitepaper, etc., Still turns out to be a scam project.

That’s why bounty hunters really needs to wise up seriously and stop letting all these projects fool them. And that should be the same thing with bounty managers, they have to wise up and know how to handle these projects, they should request for their escrow , and if possible the escrow should be in another cryptocurrency like Ethereum or Bitcoin, so that if things go wrong and the team that owns the project are no longer with complying they can then settle the hunters through the escrow that was paid upfront.

As for the team that runs these campaigns they really have to understand that hunters are not investors, investors and hunters are two different things.

I've seen too many failures from projects that I promoted, instead of complaining or quitting I find ways to avoid scam projects completely, right now I can confidently say that I haven't promote any scam projects this year, I'm very picky now unlike before when I really thought that Bounties are all about lucks, No! It's not, bounties are about how picky and selective you are, what makes a project qualified to be called a high quality is what you need to find out

Exactly.
Sometimes they just gotta need to risk it, because for sure the guilt of not being able to grab one and miss the legitimate project would hurt them a lot.
Finding scams is like their least priority or they just don't focus to it that much anymore.

it is kinda normal i think once seeing the bounty manager mad when being asked from bounty participants for same questions over and over again, just looked up at the group recently and they are planning to distribute the rewards at the end of the year after calculate the token rewards, lets see how it goes

If bounty hunters become united, professional and start boycotting bad managers and fake projects, i still believe that bounty hunting can still become a proper multi billion dollar industry that can employ thousands and thousands of people all around the world and i am quite sure this industry will grow big in coming years.

Who will unite bounty hunters? who will regulate bounty campaigns? this is a forum where the mod will try to prevent scams however when it comes to bounty campaigns its the prerogative of hunters to decide whether to promote a project or not however I can't blame them because in 2018 there are many successful ICOs that enabled hunters to earn decent rewards even newbies that participated in social media campaigns received reasonable reward however in the aftermath of the bearish market a lot of projects turned scam after promising fictitious and bogus rewards to participants .
Many hunters now participate in campaigns bearing in mind that the outcome may be successful or not that is why they are engaged in many projects.

Which mushrooms have you been eating? And can i have some?

Unite hunters? LOL, they just wait for a chance to backstab others to increase their stakes in a bounty.
Multi billion dollar industry? If you mean Zimbabwe dollar, then yes, otherwise, LOL again

The fact is that bounty hunters know about those risks, they know about the possibilities.
And we also know that most bounty hunters will also only focus on the reward distribution and exchange listing after they do the task or joining in the campaign. No matter what the project or product, we only focus on the reward and how to make it for money.
And here, we also sometimes are confusing how to choose the legit bounty. We still only focus on how we can join a campaign without any further analysis of whether the bounty is legit or not. This is ironic, but always happen

ufortunately its impossible to happen now, every person have their own needs and working in all bounty campaign will help them to get money. and while we work on campaign ,we dont know it will give us good reward or not. bad managers come from bad projects and every one could make mistakes choosing campaign.  its better to do your own research

The potential for bounty campaigns to really earn is long gone, it's quite hard to be able to earn in bounties knowing how hard it was for them to be successful in their funding due to multiple projects that turns out to be scam after ICO, that's why it changes to STO, IEO and some joined the hype in DeFi. Only few project will be able to pay the pay the hunters, some will just make you wait.

Not 100% correct. We can do research first! Know the potential of the project whether a good project or not. And know first about the potential/chance to get the payment or not from that campaign. All of these can be predicted first if we do proper research.

Not always. Good managers can handle bad projects, while bad managers can handle good projects. It depends on the situation. So, that's why we need to take research first, both for the projects and for the bounty managers as well.

You should wake up from your sleep, the bounty campaign is about how good you are analyzing the campaign or how luck you are getting the legit campaign that's fully paid you. Bounty hunting definitely depends on the ico industry and it looks like you didn't even understand about that.
You are joking with your statement dude.

Yap, I mean we do a program to get a token right? I do support that bounty hunters should be appreciated for our hard work, but we also have to know that we are part of the promotion team where we must be able to position ourselves to help the project, how do we analyze the project. if we do good research, I'm sure bad projects will get rid of themselves because nobody will want to promote them.

Last bounty scam project manage by trusted and most experience bounty manager Hhmpuz but we can't make some bounty campaign success after running two weeks today he made announcement with emporium campaign become scam after loss contact from emporium team. Become very surprise for use how come Hhmpuz manage with not trusted campaign why not at the first time running he take escrow for distributing coin to wallet and waiting until bounty ended sent to bounty participants.

Promises is not necessarily right and why hunter working in almost any bounty maybe the same person over and over again and what is it all that is often said "bounty hunter", medium twitter facebook instagram etc ;D, I can't believe anyone do it all, heavy and maybe time consuming also I honestly can't do that.

Some Bounty hunters still analyze the project and campaign terms and conditions properly before they join, and also some hold the coins if they think it has future prospect. However it's true that most hunters just join campaigns based on promises, like seeing very huge rewards. Also, no matter how well projects are analyzed, some won't still favor hunters even if rated cool. When funds are not escrowed, its most likely hunters don't get paid at the end.

Actually all of the IF's that have been stated are already known by the bounty hunters. They tend to work on bounty hunting even those facts are known to be expected upon pursuing a certain project. They tend to work on risks and trials for that is the way they are earning a living. They will spend time on an unsure project because nobody exactly knows what can happen on a bounty project unless it comes to an end and see the outcome if it will be a legitimate payable one or true suspected scam which is they have not been paid for the work done on promoting the project. The IF's mentioned are known by the bounty hunters but they still tend to work it out because mostly at this time, it is a sort of trial and error for them on finding a good bounty project that will give them a living. But still it is dependent on the bounty hunter if he will first analyze the project or a risk taker that will try the project to see for himself if it is a legit or a scam one.

Majority of the bounty hunters knows this but unfortunately, since they are a bounty hunter and it's their job they have no recourse but to do bounty hunting and continue promoting projects and just crossed their fingers that the project they are promoting will turn out to be great project and profitable.

When joining bounty campaign always faced many factors from delay distribution, not updated with listing exchange until some bounty hunter ask when coin up. I think many factors why make bounty campaign not success from ICO is not working success because little investor wanna buy coin until how seriously ICO team wanna list coin with bigger exchange market, if bounty campaign without get good result from ICO is the same waste time and our working without nothing like JACS bounty campaign.

If we all go by this negative experienced then we will miss out on the good project campaign. Really I have participated in two bounty campaigns held by the same manager and it was a success and this was at the inception of me into bounties. There have many features mentioned to look out for to scammed projects and so on.

Therefore, follow all existing projects, you can join social media programs and articles, or YouTube,
indeed not all bounty programs will be successful, and that's the risk, have to be patient and keep fighting!

sometimes the bounty can only accept the situation if the bounty project is a scam. even the bounty manager has been affected, so it seems that there should be tighter supervision for the newly released bounty project. in order to avoid this cheating

Promising projects are usually much worse than they expect, often projects that offer big rewards always fail for some reason. yes, although not everything is like that. But this is a bounty hunter job, trying your luck while promoting the project and not forgetting to be prepared for all the risks too.

your title is bounty but why end up blaming the hunters .

hunters are not the main enemy here but its the bounties and if they will only keep thier promises all hunters are going be happy silently work at thier best but thats only becoming a dream now as the bounties starts to become bad the longer we are seeing them .

 will this issue ever be fixed again ? the issue isnt only between the hunter and the bounty but investors are directly affected with it .

I think bounty hunters are not the problem at all, there is no way that people could put the blames of bounties having trouble into bounty hunters because they are doing what they suppose to do. It is obvious that bounties are managed horribly and many projects are scams just to promise a token that will not even come out or will worth nearly zero while collecting as many funding as possible to use that for personal stuff.

The fact that this many airdrops and bounties failed shows that if it was the hunters that caused this trouble, it would have been just a thing where management of these bounties would vet a lot more carefully on who joins and that would be the end of it, but they are not doing that which means it is not the hunters, it is the management that fails.

Indeed. Bounty hunters are not the problem here because they are not the ones who managed the project horribly, ending up unsuccessful and wasting most investors' money, turning it into dust. But bounty hunters should be definitely more careful because even if they are not investing any money, they are still using their precious time and effort on a scam and unsuccessful. Instead, they should be doing other things that will benefit them.

Most of it are trial and errors now. I mean they won't surely want to miss the stakes of a single week assuming the project is legitimate. It's like a leap of faith for them and their hunting duties.
Finding legitimate project is another hard work to do as it involves a lot of extensive research and you might even consider going out of the forum just to look for clues.

I'm a bounty hunter and an investor. I joined so many bounties and got profit from so many bounties and also disappointed by some bounties. Then the thing is no one has idea about it and project scammed...

I will recommend to follow these:
(1) Always join a project which have proper roadmap and background (Research)
(2) Work on those bounties which is managed by some selected/trusted BM. Because BM brings projects after doing some research.
(3) Sometimes everything go perfect and at the time of distribution they will dump the price... So no one can do anything with this case.

Simply, Scam is everywhere around the world but we have to do bounties after full research of those above things because bounty took so many time and work with no reward in waste...

I think enough with joining many bounties campaign have been scam without have any update about market exchange, last campaign manage by Julerz GEOMA DAO still not new update when we can sell coin after nothing news when listing and which one exchange become destination for GEOMA DAO listed. Just enough with coin without have good roadmap and better looking for bounty campaign weekly payment and have market for listing, so our working at the end of week we can sell it without waiting with bullshit promise by developer listing coin soon and without working hard how to list their coin on market.

Is not an easy as we think scammers has the sweetest of voice and they go as far as making their whitepaper, they social media pages looks very legit and even their team members, their road map, and their advisors look as if they are going to take over the crypto space. Scammers are capable of doing this to get into your pocket. So is never easy to tell which is fake.


The bounties manager on the other hand is the ones deceiving the participants of their campaigns, they collect payment in bitcoin knowing very well that the project is not trusted and the token might not see the limelight

I for one experience this regularly there isn't anything can do simply just surrender and acknowledge it all as of not long ago this issue has no arrangement Escrow may be the exit from this issue. There are a large number of these tasks are really paying acceptable when the group concoct a semi incomplete item however token being recorded on trades.

Sometimes it is really hard to know the bad intentions of the team, I have seen good managers starting a campaign but after few weeks they stop it because they find some red flags or non serious attitude from team and unfortunately there are a lot of bad actors in this field.

Hardest part and this is why scamming and fraud projects into the market wont really disappear because they are really that smart on making things look legitimate and real.
In result then they do really able to hook up investors to whom do believe that they are investing on a good project when they do sees it.You would able to say its scam
when you do already lost up your money just because they do take it from you or simply ran away and as a bounty hunter then it would be understandable that you would
be losing up the chance on earning token if the project do tend to ran away or wont really be paying in the first place.Finding a good project is really like finding
a needle on a haystack.

Previously, it was really possible to earn decent money, but today such popularity has fallen. I wouldn't risk doing this and wasting my time. Maybe the time will come again when bounties become popular. But I think sometime you can try your luck... like lottery  :P

I do not think bounty rewards are promises; they are allocated funds for jobs done; not any other thing; it was not begged for or undue; its payment for job done. So project and developers refusing to pay hunters is just theft and fraudulent, no sugarcoating etc.  The core truth that every bounty manager must acknowledge is that bounty hunting can be frustrating; and it takes a strong mind to continue, do your research before joining any projects at all.

If there were no bounty participants, as well as the bounty companies themselves, it is unlikely that someone would have written something like this here. You must understand one thing, all these bounty companies, crypto projects and cryptocurrencies are links in the same chain. Even knowing everything, you cannot do everything 100% correctly, since there are a number of factors that will affect you and your actions. As for the bounty participants, why is there such a negative attitude towards them? It turns out that they are to blame for everything? Or maybe all these questions need to be asked to those who initially create fraudulent projects? As for me, it is not fair to write about bounty participants is bad, because they do a great job and, of course, like everyone else, they want to make money.

I joined a dozen of bounties before. I found out that about 60% from them are scams. Some of them didnt pay at all. Some keep on delaying on releasing the bounty token until all of their investors dumped their ICO coins.

I think the most legit bounties are taking care of their token, and not paying bounties using their own coins but using Bitcoin, Ethereum or XRP.

I think they have been working full time on the bounty campaign. They don't care whether the project is a scam or not. They may choose to follow all of them instead of choosing a few projects and are disappointed that they didn't follow a good project. They fear being disappointed to miss a legit campaign opportunity.

I don't think that's a problem, but it would be better to sort out the many bounty campaigns available. At least they can know whether or not they are following a totally scam and non-paying campaign.

Bounties nowadays are not as profitable as bounties before, I joined a lot of bounties wayback 2017 and early 2018 not much until the downfall of ICO’s. Its very frustrating when projects don’t pay or only pay a penny worth token. Now, as much as possible I only joined quality projects and value my self worth.

Escrow can be an option if the campaign manager is honest with the bounty hunters. But I suspect that some people get dizzy from having a lot of coins on their hands. And they behave inappropriately towards hunters. Some are accused of deliberate fraud with the distribution of shares. How to deal with this?
