Hello guys
Are you guys really getting paid from the Bounty campaigns these days? What are you earning on an average per week? How many campaigns are you working in?
I think alot of changed since 2018.

I'm not sure because I haven't been in a bounty campaign. But as far as my existence in this community for years, yeah, things have change for the worst with regards to bounties.

Some of them are blatantly scams in the beginning, like asking for your private keys in order to get your rewards. And then there's is campaign that don't pay their participants and even the bounty managers have been accused of colluding with the project itself.

And that's why experience users here says that bounty campaign is a risk because you don't know if you are going to get paid and then the project itself, maybe it will be successful in the future, maybe it's not.

I have also not taken part in them from very long time but the earnings varies usually depending on the number of followers you have on twitter or say signature campaign will pay on your rank so nothing sure about it.They pay you stakes out of the portion they have allocated as bounty reward for that thing.When the coins get listed on any exchange you could sell them and what you will get is your earning.

Bounty isn't for everyone.

1. If you are the type that wants quick result do look away because bounties will disappoint you
2. We have too many scam projects this days and they plan to use bounty hunters for their dirty work.
3. There are few limited bounty managers that introduce escrow payment this days, this decrease the chance of not getting paid, julerz12 and bounty detective use escrow.

Bounty is all about trying your luck but still I suggest you choose the project wisely.

I'm surprised that individuals are still interested in participating in bounty campaigns after the 2017 ICO buzz has waned, rendering bounty campaigns useless.

However, if you join these projects, you will be wasting your time by creating several social media accounts, bitcointalk accounts, and other platforms just to receive vapourware tokens. ICOs that run bounty campaigns are not profitable today, unlike those that were projects in 2017 who made a lot of bitcointalk users filthy rich!

Yes and why not? it seems like you have been going away from this forum since a few years ago and just come back right now and so you didn't know about the development that happened in the cryptocurrency especially bounty campaign in this forum.

I can't say a lot about this totally depend in the mechanism that used by any bounty campaign. it's better if you are checking it directly to the bounty section.

People in here are working in almost all of bounty campaign right now. I can't deny that some projects may scam project.

Well perhaps --because as you can see there are too many participants on every bounty campaign that has been launched. To be honest, I am not joining or even visiting the bounty section, I was there before but now I am tired of getting scammed always and also did not pay.
Just try your luck there, most of the campaign will run 2-3 months and it will be listed on the market exchange for almost after a year which is you need to patiently wait. For me, it is rare to participate in good projects now after ICOs come everything becomes shits in joining bounty campaigns and that is why paid bitcoin campaigns are better than this bounty.

There are a lot of cheaters in Bounty campaigns, so I'm not interested in this topic. If you work honestly with 1 account, then you will waste your time. If earlier many serious projects came to the forum, now they are promoting on other resources. Therefore, your chances of making a good profit are very small.

It doesn't hurt to try, what are we even discoursing about here? How is making few posts on social media a big deal every day to get paid? To me bounties is fun, just follow the rules and do your thing, if you get paid it's good and if you don't it's still all well and good, just don't depend your entire life on bounties.

So far I've always been paid when I joined the bounty program, but how much income per week is uncertain, because we are paid after the bounty ends (depending on the duration of the bounty). But it is clear that the 2018 bounty is very different from the current one, in the past, on average, almost all of the tokens listed on the market had a hefty price, but now that is no longer the case, many tokens are worthless.

Bounty campaigns have dropped drastically since 2018 because even inexperienced people can create their own coins. And most of them are scams. people worry about whether they will get paid from bounty campaigns. The person who manages the bounty campaign needs to be a reliable person. Because of this, both bounty campaigns decreased and the people participating in these campaigns. No harm in trying, that's why people keep participating in these bounty campaigns.

Is not it better if you check it directly to the bounty section? Some bounty campaigns have been paying its bounty participants and you can also join in the telegram group of bounty campaign to make sure that if you can hear that directly from the participants and manager. There are some bounties have become scam campaigns but in another case some trusted bounties have paid its participants as well.


The most difficult as the payrate from any campaigns may vary and you can't get an answer for that question except the personal opinion from the bounty manager. Im working with one campaign in my signature.
It's not only bounty but so many things in crypto changed since 2018.

That's right. A lot has changed and if I would not expect much from those bounties. I checked the bounty sections and find it hard to pick the right company that I want to support. There's just too much of them now and it's not like back in the days where it's more of a competition.
Now, all they do is keep on creating new projects expecting to find new victims that will invest in it then run away. As of the bounty hunters, they are paid with their tokens that values from dust to zero.

Yes alot changed. My monthly earning is not greater than 100$. Most of altcoin bounty are launching just to deceive hunters. They are not paying. Some escrow token and at the end change their contract.
I request Admin of Bounty section that create strict rule that only Legendary member can run bounty program and only if escrowed. This will increase the chance of some profit for hunter and also project will receive good result.

When it comes to the difference between the bounty campaigns in 2018 and 2022, there is a very big difference. In 2018, it was quite easy to earn money, as long as you did not hit the scam project. At the moment, to earn money from a bounty campaign, you first need to do a very good research on the project. Now is much more projects on market, so it is much more difficult for the project to be successful and you only get paid from the best. It used to be that the bounty pool should be as big as possible, now the quality of the project is more important, because without it you will not earn anything.

Not only in nowadays, back to early 2017, many campaigns delay payments and even don't pay at all. Some of them got paid just recently.
Actually, the condition is totally different. Only few (projects) still believe in this kind of marketing offer. meanwhile, there still users who join those campaigns however i think still they are fake profiles running using automated bots.

almost all the bounty campaigns that I have participated in have been paid but some are still pending and some are not paid or scam projects. because the highest risk as a participant in the campaign is to enter into a scam project. and the payment is uncertain because it is in accordance with the potential of the project. and currently i'm only following 1 signature bounty campaign.

It's really difficult to choose a good bounty campaign as I have some worst experiences where bounties with really good roadmap have cheated the investors and in my experience i have participated in numerous bounties in last two year but I could only withdraw the amount on two bounties which are Geoma (COOP) and Amepay, apart from these two I just have some useless tokens in my wallets and some of the bounties pay in parts and by that time the project gets closed or dumped to almost zero value. I think the era of bounty has come to an end with few exceptional projects.

to date, it is difficult to find a good bounty company that will bring the desired results, most often it is either a penny, or not at all, people worked for free for a long time by cheating, statistics have been upsetting lately.

This current situation make the people unemployed in many sences.One from the new people and education people to work every year.Bounty campaign was the sweet to the people who doesn't have a real job.Some people also doing the both bounty and the normal job.Only issue with the bounty is,we need to wait for payment of the tokens.Some project real face will be find after the bounty launch or at the time of payment of the tokens to their bounty hunters.

It is really different now, way back 2017 you could hundred or even thousands of dollars working just in a month. Now it's very hard to earn a penny. I have tried joining for 3 months lately and my shares are still nowhere to be seen. So I can't really say there is an average weekly earning for now, maybe they wouldn't pay me and just announce that the project failed. Still hoping to catch bounties where I could receive desired payments within the allotted time of release.

I'm not saying they are not as many bounties, especially those who have been managed by reputable Bounty managers still paying participants but, we can't also deny the huge number of bounties who run away and leave their participants in the air. Some have already received their rewards but are not able to sell their coins/tokens as it was not even listed to any exchanges. Quite very disappointing but that seems the reality now.

Only a few bounties are good and reliable projects while the majority are fake and scams. And manage to join them if the manager is good as well.

Bounties are very hard to join because it requires you to do a lot of research on whether or not the project is going to have a future. Or whether the project is a scam. So basically, you are spending time researching whether or not you want to invest even more time on something that in the end, might bring you > $ 100 USD...

So it really is hard to tell. A lot of people just do bounties en masse and hope to get paid for their minimum, copy/paste efforts.

We do need to create a better system of recognizing worthwhile projects. That might make bounty campaigns worth doing again....

It's devastating to promote a project for months only to find out that you promoted a scam project. Many bounty managers have fallen victim to scam projects by managing them. Only for these few months of the year, I can count about 3 bounty campaigns that turn out to be scams.

Weekly bounty payment that pays in BTC is the best. You are sure of BTC payment every week compare to promoting projects that you are sure of in the future. Whether scam or not

There are really big changes now since 2018 I have a great time back in 2018 when there are a lot of good projects, but now these developers are treating bounty participants as cheap laborers, they pay cheap and there's a delay, they only send their token after their token lose their values or have already abandoned the project, bounty participants are getting a lot of insults now, it's hard to be bounty participants now.

You can't compared the old days with this time. in 2018 the bounty campaign was paying you with the token and this time there are so many stable token campaign which will paid you in the stable coin that has stable value. Sometimes token will give you more money but this time bounty campaign has been evolving as so many managers are making the stable coin campaign available to be joined by the bounty participants. How much i have been earning from the bounty campaign can't be determined as it's not used fix rate payment system like bitcoin campaign. How much i have earned from joining in the bounty campaign totally pegged with the price of token but some time i have also joined in the stable coin campaign as well which will give more guarantee.

I guess the bounty campaign still pays their participants but the problem is, can their coins or tokens enter the market or not?
Many of these coins or tokens fail to enter the market while the dev and team always ask participants and investors to wait for further information.
But the real big problem that still happens is that devs and teams run away after getting a lot of money from their investors.
And if we talk about the earnings, it will not be the same as each participant can join in more than one social media campaign, making them earn more than others.

2018 was a long time. Things must be a lot different now. Even in 2018, I think bounty campaigns were not really profitable anymore. Especially now when the age of ICO is done, I don't think participating in bounty campaigns is still as profitable as before. Add to that the fact that many of the crypto projects being promoted for the past years are either scam or not successful. So even if you get paid honestly by the projects you are promoting the tokens are hardly gaining any worth.

Seeing the current developments, there are a lot of new projects being born and most projects are more focused on campaigning on social media now, both Twitter, Facebook, and others and for signature campaigns, they are still available. In terms of rules, it may not be much different from 2018 but participants are expected to be more selective in choosing which ones to follow and campaign so that it is not in vain.

I am still deep in bounties these days and though there are really some real gems, there are more which never paid their participants and if they do many do not have any real value with many which never made it to any exchange at all. On the side of the bounty hunters, the quality of works are so low that it sometimes made me laugh reading some of the posts they are making...that is why I am suggesting to BMs to do some screening so as to improve the quality of participants they should stop accepting newbies even with social media bounties. There should be changes here.

The Bounty campaign has so far proved fruitful, although the rewards are small but in proportion to the number of participants who participate, some members who are ranked above the Senior members can join the bitcoin paid bounty, but for some members who do not have a high rank, they will look for projects and trusted managers and participate in social campaigns.

It is on this forum that I have not taken part in bounty campaigns for about a year because of the not very high rank  if you can make money on a subscription company at any time, then the situation with social networks has worsened for us

Actually now it's starting to look easier for everyone with a lower rank because in the sub-service economy section there are also campaigns that receive ranks like you with managers who are very experienced too, so stop by there often so you can see the campaigns which is better with results that are also very good

The current bounty condition is very sad and different from the 2016-2018 bounty, at that time we could earn hundreds or even thousands of dollars per month, but when I returned to the bounty again since the last 4 months maybe only got around $100 or $25 per week, for earning $25 per week I follow about 20 bounties and it takes about 2 hours per day.

IMO, I think it depends on the bounty manager awareness and dedication because some bounty managers are just doing it easy like nothing was going on in the bounty market most of the problems not paying at the end of the campaign, they even bother to use escrowed services like for example the BM, Hhampuz, he nas not used escrowed to its bounties that's why some of its bounties are not paying. the bounty managers like Juliers, Bounty Detective, and Brainboss are using escrowed services that's why most of its bounties are end-will and paid its participants. 

Most of the Bounty projects that initially came to the attention of all Bounty hunters were successful.  Nowadays, most of the Bounty companies are coming up with scams of any kind.  Either he is giving a bounty stop in the middle of the project, and then he is picking up the portfolio after coming to the market or changing the contract address.

Bounty hunting is not as lucrative as it was in the past. So it may be difficult to have a consistent income from bounty nowadays. Most times there are little no guarantees to payments as projects may decide to do as they please, probably because they don't value the impact of bounty hunters. It would take a great deal of luck to get a project whose reward would be substantial because most projects pay only a meager sum and those who pay something substantial are difficult to come by.

2016 to early 2018 was the glory days of bounties. I've read that there were folks that have made around $25k for just a single bounty that they've collected and eventually sold it. And I guess there were more than that amount based on the success of the project that they've joined with its bounty.

Right now, I see that it's starting to be back again but it's not the same as before. If I'm about to rate it, from scale 1-10, it's just around 4 or 5 this time. There are still paying bounties if you go and check them.

But what's next is the question, what's next after getting paid. If it will have a value or none.

Well in social campaigns it's not worth of it. Though bounty hunter's get increased. Nowadays quality not get considered it's just quantity. A lot of projects are doing scam's. I think bounty manager should take project by analyzing it. They get paid for their work but when it get times to distribution there's made an huge price drop , hunter's not getting anything. That's why bounty cheating also get increased in a large number.

Not for today, but for the 2021 bounty some of them are still being paid decently and some are still being paid with high estimates. Many assume that the Cybertrade bounty has a good chance of the next high payout.

All payments from bounties vary widely based on allocation, but are not paid for weekly unless they accumulate from the results that have been paid. The last bounty was Valerstudios  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5381519.0)paid in USDT with an estimated 85$/week, but the bounty is only for 5 weeks and has ended since last week.

i just followed the signature campaign held by Gamdom and every week i earn around $20.  i have a small business that provides me with a stable income and this is just my side job.  the bounty still pays but not all do that, it's best to choose which one is good and reliable.

Bounty hunting is among the lowest earning activity in the industry. I learnt it was more lucrative in time past, but it's now a shadow of itself. I doubt there are still people who make consistent amounts as it would require a high value account and hardwork to break even. People engage in bounties with the expectation that something good may come out of it, but it's not always the case.

This was the kind of discussion back in 2017 as well. It depends now these days actually. For the amount of shitcoins popping up lately, it kinda makes it 50/50 now and the earning amount is even one of the factors in these.
I would just say that most aren't worth it these days.

There are a few good bounties here in this forum that are ongoing for many months now and that are paying in BTC every week. I am part of one of these bounties as you can see on my signature and so far i have received every payment and never had any problems. In my rank (senior member) i get paid 55$ per week in BTC. The requirements are quite high though as you have to make at least 25 constructive posts each and every week and 10 of them have to be in the gambling subforum. I am a big fan of sports so i have no problems to find a gambling or betting topic that i can make a post on but when there is no sports event happening it can be quite tough to make constructive posts.

You are absolutely correct about the last line, quite a lot has changed and as a result people are no longer interested in bounties as a lot of them are more often than not run by scammers who wouldn't pay a dime and leave participants to rue their wasted time. A few bounties here and there might be paying, but as the years go on, they get increasingly small, inconsequential and makes it impossible for bounty hunters to identify them, except through extreme luck. To be honest, i would not encourage anyone to waste their time with bounties, there are a whole lot of better things going on in the network, it is better to acquaint yourself with one of them.

I think totally the main reason real and trustful project always be good at any moment with the crypto market. Of course, those projects will be planned very long and by their development, always well-planned. But yes you can get some money from it but makeing rich is very difficult.
But i recommended to 90% bounties are painfully scam so if you want to join with any bounty campaign then Dyor before.

bounties are still great with the escrowed campaign management, the rest always delaying its reward for the bounty hunters and this could be going for months and months.
I really think that any bounty managers should just start escrowing the campaign more because it guarantees the work of the bounty hunters, and i’m sure it’s better having zero campaigns than just getting scammed after wasting so much energy.
I guess nowadays it requires a lot more patience than it was in the past, because most of the rewards distribution are usually unfinished.
The good thing is you can find so many escrowed bounty campaign this will give you more guarantee to receive the reward but i think even the bounty participants can't answer you about how much they regularly earned from the bounty

This opinion is based on the fact that in the past it was possible to earn a lot of money thanks to bounty campaigns. It looks a bit worse now, which is why people think that the situation on the market is worse. However, the truth is that bounty campaigns are nothing more than a support of project. If you can earn something thanks to it, it's good, if not, it's only part of your support activity, not your work.

then it requires a confident attitude and also high optimism for those who want to make enough money from the bounty, if not then it is difficult to make sure the person can generate consistent income from the bounty because it is difficult to get at this time.

Well, there are 2 types of bounty hunters;
- the casual person interested in the project - this one will think twice before joining a bounty, and it's usually going to be a good one
- bottom feeders who do this as a living - these will join anything that has a word bounty in it, and the success rate will be probably under 25%

You're right, 2018 was good for bounties, but nowadays, bounties are worthless and more often than not, a scam

Couple of years ago I participated in many bounties and earned good reward with them but now circumstances have changed from the last couple of years these days I don't find bounty campaigns much worthy nevertheless I do participate in bounty campaigns if I found a suitable bounty campaign because I think we mustn't miss a single opportunity in this unpredictable industry.

I can't predict accurately, because the payment is after the bounty is completed and that if the manager doesn't share it on time, it's difficult to get paid for BTC because there are quite a lot of fans with little member acceptance.

I think every time must have its moments. maybe there used to be a lot of success with bounties. but maybe not for now.
some I'm sure still pay, but to expect to get a lot maybe not anymore.
I just tried to participate in the bounty campaign. I didn't expect much, because seeing the current allocation of most bounty projects, I don't think it's that big. The most important thing is to get results from what you do.

Although i left from bounty for a couple of years. And if almost every campaign offers to pay for bounty hunters in their own native tokens, It’s pretty difficult to get worthy rewards because failed/scam projects will never profitable at end of the day. Yeah, within few years we see many changes in bounties, in 2016-2017 i think some hunters made millions of dollar just only worked with bounty campaign.

Currently the bounty campaign has changed a lot, of course it is getting excited to follow, because there are several campaigns that pay directly at the end of the week, for example the campaign that I follow they pay me $70 per week, and there is also a campaign that pays weekly with BTC of course this campaign accepts the participants are limited and the Requirements are quite high as you have to make at least 20-25 constructive posts every week and 5-10 of them have to be in the gambling sub forum. I think all campaigns should be like this so that participants can benefit from their hard work.

The bounty now is certainly different from 2016-2018, at that time many bounty providers paid millions of dollars with a small number of participants so that many participants could earn up to $10k a month, but now bounty providers pay small but the participants are very large so if on average average earning around $ 30 for the signature campaign.

yhup bounty nowadays is not the same before wherien way back 2017-2018, because to be honest based on my experience most bounty campaign before are good payer unlike these days seems mostly are scams and not paying a good rewards for every participants after all.

It changed a lot that's why i stopped joining bounties.

Currently I only follow 1 type of campaign, namely the signature campaign, of course comparing the 2018 bounty with now like the earth with the sky, right now it is very difficult for me to earn $100 in a month, but I think this is reasonable because many projects fail to reach the softcap so they give little pay.

Crowdfunding has changed already and investors are not going to easily send thier BTC all because of the promise of the project team. Although there is still projects that become successful due to the bounty campaign, it rarely happens since investors are dumping the moment they see profit while the bounty hunters wait for months for the token to be listed.

The new ways like IDO seem to fail too. But the ones that might interest new projects will be the ISPO. Well have to wait for this concept to become popular but its only for ADA.

Currently bounty is very difficult to get big earnings, the sad thing about participants is that they always wait for payment and when they get paid the market is red so the results are not satisfactory, at this time I participate in many bounty programs because I have free time at home, in general the pay is small of course according to what we do, because I do the bounty only takes 75 minutes per day.

I'm also just following the signature campaign. Currently only accounts with high quality posts can earn $100/month or more. although I haven't known this forum for a long time, but many of my friends are getting good money from signatures. day by day I try to improve the quality of my posts, hopefully my account ranking can go up.

Bounty campaigns these days are too different from the bounty campaign that we've joined last 2017 where most of us have gained huge amounts of crypto through it. Bounty campaigns nowadays are mostly scams and they only pay coins without good value. It's better to grab other opportunities that crypto could offer rather than bounty campaigns which could only waste your time and effort.

You know very well that it is not possible to make a weekly income from a bounty campaign.  Because it is not a source of permanent income Bounty payments depend on one's fortune and from Bounty campaigns they always distribute tokens which will take time to come to the exchange and it is a long time to get a token from Bounty and convert it into Fiat Money.
However, it is possible to earn a weekly income from the signature campaign. But it does not apply to everyone. It only applies to those who can post high quality and those who have min of Sr Member.

Only one way to find out, do good research on the project before you promote and pray for some lucks, not all projects will keep their promises to bounty hunters and some are even fake/scam so don't rely too much on bounties they are all try and see.

A lot has definitely changed since 2018. I cared about article campaigns and definitely had some gains. Signature campaigns were also more intense and beneficial. Now I just spend my free time and never get good incomes  :-[

Bounty manager looks smart right now for paying native token depending on his manage project, I can't called him with bounty manager name when have success project for bounty campaign and coin have potential with listing on many exchange market they will pay with USDT and little reward receiving by bounty participants, but looks not trusted with manager bounty campaign when have failed or scam project payment distribution with coins and not any value without listing on exchange market, they have try how to make participant and bad situation with received coin without have value.

I got paid from what I have participated on it. No average earning per week. I got small amounts of money but sometimes I'm also getting huge amounts of money. The reward totally depend on how many allocations for the campaign and also stakes earned by the participants. if you wanna earn stable reward and just join in the bounty that paid use the stable tokens. You will be paying with the fixed red ever week. A few years ago we didn't have so many stable coins campaigns but this time some projects are also using stable coin as a payment to the bounty participant. This can be considered as a good development in the bounty. We have also more managers. It's not the same like 2018. This time is better than before.

Bounty campaign has changed a lot compared to 2017 2018. Nowadays, projects pay very low rewards according to their initial token value, even if those coins are listed they have no value. Projects running bounty campaigns most of the projects are not supported by venture capital, do not have reliable partners. Often just self-help projects with a young team, very difficult to develop.

I think today is much different from 2018, at that time it could be said that altcoins were quite promising, 2022 I see community members here especially those who play in bounties prefer bounties that pay with usdt, maybe that's because a lot of altcoins are scams etc.

I think monthly income is only a few dollars, and even then it is not clear.

To be honest nowadays good projects aren't running bounty campaigns here anymore. Because of cheating and spamming. Bounty means just copy-paste and spam over social media. Buy followers to increase stakes. And most of the projects were disappointed after running a bounty campaign. It's because then they realize how bounty hunters work. We know most of the project scamming hunters and investors. That's why I told very rarely legit projects choose Bitcointalk bounty lately. Time has changed, there are a lot of marketing options that we aren't aware of. Projects moving there to get a real Audience.

Looks like it's reversed mate, because in 2018 there were also many scam bounty projects and the average altcoin experienced a huge price dump, you can see for yourself the historical record in the crypto space in 2018. And this year I see it's a little different from there are many promising new concepts even though the market and Bitcoin are not on a good track, they are still better than 2018 in comparison.

They pay you stakes out of the piece they have assigned as abundance compensation for that thing. At the point when the coins get recorded on any trade you could sell them and what you will get is your acquiring. ICOs come everything becomes poops in joining abundance missions and that is the reason paid bitcoin crusades are superior to this abundance.

As usual, if the payment is borne from escrow, then it's guaranteed, but if not, it's still 50:50. However, the payout of the bounty is unpredictable, unless you support a project that pays its members using stable coins.
To be honest, I've followed quite a few bounty projects, and some of them paid off, but some of them were pending, or became scams. So, I don't think the bounty fee can be measured weekly, it could be a monthly fee, or a few months.

True, when a legit project will run bounty for a several weeks but when they see bounty hunters making post with misinformation/spamming and most of their works copy/paste, So Definitely they will never wants to pay for such works. Then they have no way to continue which bounty. So that most of the legit projects either will run Signature campaign or they will not be offers for bounty campaign.

nothing has changed my friend, since you off  this forum for bounties, there are still many scams, and it is possible that many are still being paid even though sometimes they are still waiting for an exchange,
there's nothing wrong with trying and researching again about the project and whether or not the bounty held by the dev
welcome back

for bounties that pay BTC, USDT as long as I follow are paid, and on time
for coins / tokens if you use escrow everything is paid and sometimes there is a market if it's a BSC network
for results: mentioning unethical values, just answer that I am always grateful for the results received

I had since given up on any bounty related campaigns, their is this particular one I participated but paid poorly after spending up to 8 weeks to promote them, I had the mindset of 2017 to 2018 bounty period when a lot of hunters earned huge rewards for their works, however I was disappointed when the tokens was listed in an exchange and all my rewards was not up to $50, the token is presently in my Trust wallet, thereafter I channelled all my efforts towards signature campaign which provides steady weekly payment, the era of earning huge and bountiful rewards from bounty campaigns has gone for good.

Good old days :)

We haven't had the chance to make money with bounty campaigns for a long time, you can't get your money back for the time you spend. So there is no need to spare time for these things anymore.
Most of the coins you will earn with the bounty will not be of any use to you and will have no value. It was like this before, nothing has changed

That is the type of situation in bounty programs, you could get a lot of money or you could get very little. They use you and me to grow, and they have a lot of twitter, bticointalk, youtube, instagram, telegram whatever numbers they need thanks to bounty hunters, and then if they do not get any interest then we are the only ones with the token and we will obviously sell so the price would drop and nobody is buying so the price will keep going down. Whereas if we are doing something bigger, if we they are getting interest from non-bounty related people then there will be buyers so our work would actually be worth something in the end.

Many new promising projects don't use bounties for promotion anymore, the last time I tried talking to a CEO of a project he said bounty hunters are spammers, we want something real and legit for our project's promotion, this was shocking to hear from a CEO that's new to crypto.

The success of a bounty campaign also depends very much on the success of the project itself.
So far, I have been only joining the Signature campaign and maybe will not be interested to join other campaigns such as articles, social media, and others.
Thankfully, currently, there are bounty campaigns that pay us with stable coins and also with BTC payment. This is the most promising bounty signature in my opinion. It is enough to make ourself be better and better again so that we can contribute well and also join the campaign very well, too.
There are many changes after the previous bullish era in 2017,
Just focus on what we are doing right now, comparing with previous years will only make us sometimes regret

In my experience bounties nowadays are more lottery than they used to be. From my experience, only 1 or 2 out of 10 bounty campaigns distribute rewards. Good point is - with popularity of DEX, you can sell almost every bounty reward you receive. Bad point is - the amount you get is often same as transaction fee. Basically you work for nothing. The only things you gain are overall information about crypto, project and your brains dont get rusty. Social media campaigns are what should be skipped. Article and video campaign help to develop writing skills, helps to build knowledge how youtube platform mechanism work (that might help you plan to create a channel with to earn). Signature campaigns - you post and learn new.

Much more than a lot have changed in bounty hunting and it's no longer lucrative. I was not fortunate to be in the space back in 2018, but I know it must have been much better than what we have presently. There are many more people in the industry and that has contributed to the reduced earnings coupled with the fact that the projects are always reluctant to pay something substantial to bounty hunters.

I already quit doing bounties years ago but those days are really promising compared to today because nowadays there are lots of options but the project that are paying has dramatically decreased. Looks like you will only get bounty rewards from the manager who escrowed all the rewards and if you choose to join those unescrowed bounties, no matter who will gonna be the manager, it won't really matter when the actual project doesn't pay you guys when the bounty is over.

It will be difficult getting anyone to tell you exactly how much they earn weekly from bounties. It's not just that it's a privacy issue. There's also the inability of participants to calculate exactly how much they're worth weekly from earnings that are based on stakes and only redeemable after bounties have ended. Most times the payment tokens are even worthless, to say the least.

Yes, a lot has changed since 2018. Now, users here pay more attention to BTC paying campaigns than bounties. The reason being that they want to be sure they get paid at the end of every week, not the uncertainty of receiving payment that's almost the norm with bounties. There are a few bounty managers here who can be said to be meticulous in picking projects to run bounty for. One of such managers was user Bubbalex. Unfortunately, the dude has resigned from bounty management and doesn't manage bounties any more.

Well there are lots of scams bounties these days. Even those who has high reputation sometimes still don't pay just like what Citizen Finance did. I think the problem is not escrowing the funds. Only by that we can ensure the payments and distribution. Been applying some of the best Bounties out there and it didn't even gave me a lot since last year. Some of them didn't even pay up til now but im still hoping they do.

If we compare the current bounties from the previous year it's much better in my opinion earlier in the year 2019 I joined several bounties but 5-10% of bounties get succeeded. Bro, you must be aware bounty earnings can not be described in terms of weekly or monthly to get the full fruit one has to hold also If you sell instantly the moment a coin is listed you can not make good money that's all I learned in the past 6 years. Average I do almost 20 bounties at the time.

I can attest to that. You can never make profits from bounties if you don't intend to hold your tokens first before you decide to sell them. But you should also monitor the market more often so you can have the right timing to sell in profits. However, relying bounties nowadays is never a good idea. Good days are already gone and all we have now are those scam projects that are only good at first but later on, they started breaking their promises and they disappear suddenly. Take time to DYOR so you will never regret making efforts joining in bounties.

Those authenticating messages aren't really a thing. It's just a way to know if you really applied for them and that's what you need to add with those forms. I don't think that small amount of funds is to discourage bounty participants but it's the actual budget of the bounty and they can no longer stretch that budget if that's what they have allocated for. Nevertheless, there are bounties that have huge projection and funding for their bounty but it's going to be paid in their tokens which means that there's still not that much of a value until it goes live on exchanges and becomes tradable. While waiting for that progress, they have a budget out of thin air.

actually alot campaign in this year if constantly follow them , i still several campaign paid hunter with worth value . i know due market condition and dev team quality alot bounty campaign degraded too and we receive penny value. but as long as we dicipline and have faith with bounty , next day we will find again these 5-10%.

always analize project quality and what product they will build. is it give something or give solution for market problem. this is the key to identify about good bounties although not 100% right.

Authentication posts don't really stop scammers from joining bounty campaigns. This could help if, for example, there could join a minimum of Jr.Member accounts to the campaign. Anyone can create as many Newbie accounts and Twitter or Facebook accounts as they want. The truth is that the project that launches a bounty campaign will not introduce restrictions on accepting participants from a minimum of Jr.Member, because they want to build the largest community possible. As long as this does not change, it will not be possible to earn good money on a bounty campaign.

The best thing to do a rewards campaign is to look for the best campaign managers, because it is an additional guarantee that you will not work in vain or for free, when there is a guarantee that the campaign manager is good at doing it, another condition is to read the whitepaper to have a better understanding of the project and see what the scope of the project is if it reaches an Exchange, and if that exchange has a good reputation and it is profitable to make the effort, I think that with these premises it is enough.

The Bounty campaign as a whole saw a decline in bounties at the end of 2018. Increased competition means each platform has to change its payouts to stay competitive. Each participant's analysis should be in place to gain a deeper understanding of how a campaign works and what you can earn from it.

That's right, a lot has changed from the current bounty.
I believe at least more than 10% of the bounty participants in 2018 are retired now.
Some of them choose airdrops over bounties because it is difficult to get an account and increase rank in this forum.
The good news is, as participants of campaigns like twitter , facebook, their articles
don't have much share to participants so they usually get more coins than in 2018.
Apart from the participants, it's a shame that some professional manager bounties also seem to have stopped,
he's Colorlessk, Jamal, Sylon. Even though we get a lot of coins, there are still a lot of scammers in the bounty project
so they don't get paid, even when we get paid we don't have a decent price to sell them.

Too many scams and fake project out there, but i understand its my risk to promote the unknown project from somewhere and i can take it if im not paid at all. But not all project are scam, sometimes they are good too but i must said, they are paid us only in basic, so we are not be able to have saving anymore from bouties.

There have always been a lot of scam projects in the cryptocurrency market. Joining a bounty campaign is similar to investing in a new startup, but you invest your time instead of money.
Before you invest in a new project (whether it's time or money), you should do very good research. Of course, you can never eliminate the risk completely, but you can reduce it significantly. Later, whether you manage to earn money depends only on whether the project is successful or not.

You mean paying us with their token that we have to accept will only have values after several months if ever it gets into the exchange, bounty campaign is like gambling you cannot be sure if the token you're promoting will be a winner, there was a time I  stop participating in a bounty campaign because of too many tokens I've promoted in the past that failed to get in the market or if they get in the market it has no value when the developers sent our rewards, we were the last to dump.

Without a doubt things have changed since that time, after all in 2017 not only there was a huge bull run but also the model of icos became incredibly popular, but despite this being the case the number of successful icos that came out of that market was incredibly small, this decreased the interest from the community in that particular way to run a  project and with it the interest in what those bounty hunters were promoting went down as well, which means that most coins using that model together with bounty campaigns enjoy almost no success these days.

Today we talk about bounty compaign in these days so in these days if you join bounty some projects look like a best project but you complete all project then the end they announced that its will be scam.
Some bounty you join they will give you best profit .
And some bounty are that type they done there distribution but the token have not list so you wait for months to months they will list an any exchange and then you sell it.

Too many scams and fake project out there, but i understand its my risk to promote the unknown project from somewhere and i can take it if im not paid at all. But not all project are scam, sometimes they are good too but i must said, they are paid us only in basic, so we are not be able to have saving anymore from bouties.

I just realized, the that conditions of bounty campaigns, compared to past did not change much. We still have same rules of 5 retweets/share and 2 tweet/own post in most social media bounty campaigns. Same 15-20 posts for signature, same 75-150 character length. Same video rules with bad/average/good reward grade, same article campaign rules.

People say that we have more scam now. I would say that in the past we have more campaigns and more scam also. The slight difference was - scam campaigns also paid rewards in 2017. Now we have 5/10 campaigns that are scam, and 2/10 dont distribute. When I have started doing bounties, we have like 1 whole page of new campaigns every day in Bounty section, and most of them were scam. Projects that disappear after ICO.

In the past we just got more tokens (that had no value) from bounties, than now. Campaigns are the same as years ago.

I believe that it is more like the same situation. We have had bounties back in the years that didn't pay after the campaign was completed and now we still have some Bounty campaigns that still don't pay after work is done.  Asking for KYC is now the biggest scam in the bounty campaign space that was not specified before the campaign because they know most will not participate in that campaign not because the hunters want to scam you but because they don't want to give their info which the projects is now forcing them to do to get their pay.
I guess the matter is subjective because some people pick and choose the campaign we participate in.   

The competition among projects is very stiff now as if the industry has leveled up, gone are the days when projects can easily gain followers and get funded, and when they hit the market investors are in a hurry to invest and bounty hunters were receiving their rewards in a matter of days or weeks, but right now there are projects that look good on paper but cannot keep up with the development, it's very challenging now for developers but more so on bounty hunters, there is no guaranty now for bounty hunters, it cannot replace an offline job now and it ceases to be a work from home job, it has become a box of chocolate you never know what you're going to get.

One of the main reasons why they are asking KYC these days is the fact that there are more than one account per person and they are worried that the same person will get multiple entry just because of it. If you do not want to do KYC for a project then you should not enter at the start, and even if they didn't say it, assume that they will ask for it.

The main reason stands, it is a good reason, if I open 10 twitter accounts and 10 bitcointalk accounts and whatever else is needed, should I be joining with 10 accounts? I should not, and KYC is there to prevent that. Not a good thing for most participants who do not want to share it, but a good defensive mechanism for the campaign.

2 or 3 years ago you could say that the results we got from the bounty campaign were huge,
different from the current bounty that is given is small and this is indeed the condition,
we all really hope to be back like before again it's very much awaited

First of all that's true in many bounty campaigns asking KYC, May be project teams implement it due to spammers who using multiple accounts. But you have to analysis if a project asking KYC to participate in their campaign then if you think it’s looking worthy then will go to join and if they didn’t pressurize to participate in their campaign, It’s depend on you.

Do you know how easy it is to buy identity card this days? Many are willing to drop their passport or driver's license for just 10$, not every country is in good shape mate and people in hard countries don't care, all they want is money.

Also, I have a completely different opinion than @KaliLinux. It is the KYC verification (which I don't like) that make difference of legit projects from scams.
Scam project doesn't care how many multiaccounts take part in the bounty campaign, because they only care about spam and making as much fuss as possible. This project that requires KYC ensures that their tokens go to real people who will become part of the community, not just bots.
As I wrote, I don't like KYC. However, if I do very good research and I am convinced that it is a solid project, then I do the verification. After all, no one has to take part in the bounty if they do not want to pass KYC or if they are not sure that the project is legit.

You are ignoring the fact that projects can not just scam investors, by taking their money, but they can collect their KYC to resell it or to use in their shady deals. I have read about the cases, where projects main purpose was not to sell their tokens and perform exit scam, but the idea was to get a much as possible users IDs, use them to create lots of accounts on coinlist and participate in sales as an army of bots.

Almost all project bounty joined on 2017 become success and have higher reward allocation by joining with signature campaign could earn above $500 each campaign, but right now almost have bounty campaign ended with scam and a lot of way how many bounty campaign become scam, from late distribution by bounty manager and make price drop under 70% when coin received until without payment by project team, but still have several bounty campaign could be trusted although allocation not depending with percentage with how much supply coin and prefer pay with USDT as stable coin.

In the era prior to 2018, we had ICO and they need the advertisements to raise money through crowd fundings. Almost all projects used to have a presence on bitcointalk.
Later, IDO, IEO came which don't need bounties for marketing and hence good projects do not focus on bounties these days.

Correct me but I don't think that there is any difference from the Bounty campaign right now and what it was 3-4 years ago where ICO's are the most popular ones.
The only difference I think is that there are more projects right now that are either scam or aren't paying the bounty hunters etc.

Bounty Campaigns in 2018 aren't the same as now as the amount of money a hunter can get in a campaign is lower than what it is a few years ago. I still remember me joining in one translation campaign and I got tokens that had a value. Held the tokens for a moment hoping that it will rise but it didn't. I exchanged that tokens that I got and bought a new smartphone because of it.

that's what we have to apply. Don't expect too much from the bounty results that we do. if we get bigger maybe that's the luck we can get.
those who say they get a lot of prizes I think they are lying or maybe cheating. when you can calculate what we get from social media bounties, not all projects will deliver great value. more than we get is a scam.

As someone said earlier, bounties are still a good way to earn side money. You should have a job/business for regular income but can work on bounties as part time work. Also, you should know that sometimes this work may pay off and you get good coins that may have good value in the future and at other times you will get just useless coins. If you have this mindset, then you can invest your time in bounties.

Good projects nowadays use IEO to raise money and they don't need bounty hunters to spread or make noise about their projects online, only very few projects still use bounty hunters on bitcointalk, my advice to new bounty hunters is not lower their expectations from projects, disappointments will happen that's certain.

The amount of campaigns is also much lower these days. In 2017 you could easily find a decent campaign with escrowed BTC weekly payment. Today when you participate even in altcoin campaign first you need to find a trustworthy one, make a overall research to make sure their token gonna worth something, check if devs are not throwing out too much bounty coins and only then you decide if you want to apply. And tbh, most altcoin campaigns seem like a waste of time.

What if IEO project also advertises on bitcointalk? This will increase their token sales and exposure as more people will come to know about their project.



The crypto projects never had the bitcoin paying campaigns. They always paid in native tokens in 2017 and also now. So there is no change in this aspect.
However, the bitcoin paying signature campaigns have increased as more gambling platforms are advertising their services here on bitcointalk.

Not lower or lower?
I done bounties before and all I could say it to always lower the expectations about it being successful. Most of it doesn't even achieve a small cap and they will be gone in the wind without any further instructions on how you can sell what they given to you.
I mean its bounties, there is really no assurance what could happen next so it would be better to be on the side where you just think about making some out of nothing or be hopeful.

  Most bounty campaigns these days were not even successful from their crowd funding so we cannot expect that they will reward us as profitable as before. And the condition gets even worst as most of the new projects that have been launched in the market end up scams. So definitely, i would not suggest to rely on bounty campaigns these days as for your main income. But still, you can have it whenever you have spare time as i would admit that working in bounties could also be helpful having additional knowledge on crypto market.

I can agree that @julerz12 do use escrow in some or most of the bounties he or she manages , because ive been part of some ot the bounties he managed and it was escrowed, but I can't agree that bounty detective also uses escrow, I've been part of bounties managed by bounty detective, and out of the 3 or 4 campaigns I participated in, only 1 (student coin) paid, and they didn't even pay the hunters full amount as was advertised on the bounty thread, that was when I quit participating in any bounty managed by bounty detective, they are the worst bounty managers I've seen on this forum not minding they have a huge community.

Yeah, I agree with you, there are two major issues to really worry about in choosing a bounty to join.

• 1. Payment for your work at the end of it all, once you have the assurance of getting paid, then you worry about the second one which is..
• 2. If the project will succeed at the end of the day, most projects end up as scam even after paying bounty hunters thier reward, which means bounty hunters end up with worthless tokens in their wallet with absolutely no hope of it ever getting listed in the future.

So this is why I agree that one must choose a project wisely when it comes to bounty participation, jumping on any projects to promote and hope to get paid at the end of the day means you will have more bitter taste in your mouth than you have a sweet taste.

In 2017-2018, participating in signature campaigns was very easy and without unnecessary complications. Nothing was required except to write posts on this forum. No joins in telegram groups and social networks, no KYC. Now more often you can see that the link to the table must be looked for in their telegrams. What is the usefulness of the new token, what tasks does it solve, sometimes they don’t write at all in the bounty topic, the pool of rewards is considered symbolic. But even with a small reward pool, a signature campaign still needs to be found. Today, almost every tenth bounty campaign involves a subscription campaign. Mostly now participation in social networks.
Payment is often promised in a few months and then after the sale of their tokens is completed, and not the bounty campaign. As a result, after such a long time it is already very difficult to find any information, and the wallet is empty.

You probably didn't visit Service board back in 2017. The difference is huge. During ICO hype almost every major ICO had campaigns with BTC (sometimes BTC+stake) payment. You could even had a choice between BTC-paying ones. But currently, smaller projects have smaller marketing budgets  and no one is willing to pay the actual money for campaigns. And if it is not a campaign for already running casino or exchange then there is close to 100% chance the payment would be in shitcoins.
 

Crypto is a great place to earn that side income. In fact, it is such a good side income market that you could earn a few side incomes together and turn that into your main income. I have a friend who is a 100% full time crypto person and he has been doing all kinds of stuff, wherever he finds it.

From bounties to content to design to anything you can think of, dude worked in crypto world doing anything he could, and he made that full time working for him, without even trading much. There are too many jobs out there, there are too many side-income possibilities, and all you have to do is work really hard and also find them. It is not easy, but it is quite possible.

comparing bounty 2018 to bounty at the present, there are more valuable projects on bounty 2018, and only accept limited participants to join.
bounty today requires too many tasks and the amount of rewards is very less. and, there's no limit for participants to participate today. some managers also running a bounty without escrow. there's no assurance that hunters will get paid. (but it's up to the hunters if he/she will continue to accept the rules.) well if not agree then don't participate.

for now very many bounty campaigns do not accept payment from the development team. and for now it is very worrying that participants have to choose the best campaign to be able to receive payment after the campaign is over. and for the amount received nothing is certain because everything is according to market prices. so there is no certainty of the rewards of the campaign.

Not to surprised of especially many people are just into money in here and just don't get a real job outside the forum. Their posts just continues to pollute the forum generating a heavy traffic for absolute crappy reason.
Merit was a good addition in controlling these. Telegram groups are also being bombarded by scammers already. Even in my Upwork job feed, direct link to Telegram becomes like to pollute but good thing it is moderated well.

world changing now and rules follow it. please be comfortable in one condition and we have to accept any changes in bounty campaign. Manager and developers team must want get positive result by conducting bounty campaign. and i think all requirement easy to follow , they didnt compound us with those rules.

thats wise mind dude, bounty campaign just like investing our time and effort to do many task. some of them give us worth return and some of them not. its similar with our investment in market, sometimes got profits and some got loss.

It's sad that some projects do break the agreement on payments to bounty hunters, or even bounty hunters have been doing their job for
a few weeks, but the project continues to delay making payments to bounty hunters. The current condition of bounty campaigns is indeed quite sad,
in the end, don't rely too much on income from bounty campaigns. In my opinion, the income from bounty campaigns cannot be expected too much,
very few bounty campaigns pay bounty hunters properly and according to agreement. This finally made me prefer to participate in gambling
campaigns with BTC fees, rather than following bounty campaigns that only let us down in the end.

This problem has already happened since many years ago. Many teams of the bounty campaigns didn't send the payment because of varied reasons. Some of them were proven as scammers, some teams just disappeared with no further announcement, and some teams always delayed the distribution. In most cases, those bounties weren't managed by top bounty managers but managed by their own team members. That's why you are better to choose the bounties that are managed by trusted bounty managers. Another solution, if you want to ensure getting the payment, you can choose the bounty that provides weekly payment. For example, the signature campaigns are paid in BTC weekly in "Service" board.

I think now the bounty is more concerning, in fact I really miss the bounty in 2017 where good markets are scattered everywhere.
Now not only the market has a little good quality, but the bounty that pays is also very small, the allocation is not as much as the 2018 bounty,
distribution looks longer, gas is higher, listed on the exchange also looks long .
Although many users have started to unfollow the bounty, the participants of each project are also few, this does not make any
difference even the income tends to be lower and it is difficult to get quality projects than in 2018.
some famous bounty managers have also disappeared i think they are indeed retiring. They are sylon, jamal, colorlessk.

Nowadays existing bounties are not the same as before wherein many projects are legit and paying their participants. Currently its hard to find a bounties that has potential and you can earn decent profit. It is also depend on where campaigns you'll going to participate because the rewards depends on how much budget allocated for that particular campaign. Its been few years since I last joined in bounties, I can say signature campaigns that are paying in Bitcoin is still reliable.

Not sure the current bounty is better than 2018.
Sometimes I think the difficulty of registering an account on this forum will make the projects entered in this forum of equal high quality.
But the fact is, every year there are always cases of fraud, unpaid bounties, allocation cuts, rugpull, dev leaving, etc.
The reason I believe is, the current market is not the same as what we saw in 2017-2018. At that time, the market had the same tier, wherever we traded tokens, the volume was not much different, making the tokens more valuable. now, the market has its own tier, the highest tier is held by binance but it is so difficult to get listed there that they prefer to leave their project because it is difficult to get stable prices in other markets.

They pay you stakes out of the piece they have dispensed as abundance prize for that thing. Whenever the coins get recorded on any trade you could sell them and what you will get is your acquiring. And afterward there's is crusade that don't pay their members and, surprisingly, the abundance chiefs have been blamed for intriguing with the actual venture.

That's right, there have been a lot of changes from 2018.
If in 2018 we have many competitors because of the many participants, of course not now but
that does not rule out what we get in 2018 is the same as this year or even less.
I am sure that this year also the fraud rate will increase from 2018, this will make it difficult for bounty
participants to determine what they choose to join the campaign.
Apart from that, there are only a few markets to trade, and to be listed there we need large funds,
some projects actually prefer to leave their projects.

There are a lot of changes in the way participation, operation, control, and compensation are, but I find it not difficult to go back and understand it. However, really no bounty is not as great work as it was in 2018, as projects pay little and there are a lot of scams.

Now almost all methods have received changes and differences from previous times, especially in 2018 where a lot of ERC-20 projects experienced scams, although not a few were successful and it is also almost similar to today where many scam projects are using BSC network at this time although many are also successful and this has actually become a differentiator as I mean it.

Bounties in 2018 are same as bounties in 2022. At least check bounty rules and tasks. Everything is made under several templates. Current bounties only adopted a bit under current market condition.

Main differences - in 2018 even scam project bounties distribute rewards and got listed. Now transactions and listing became expensive, and it makes people think that the amount of scam has increased. If you have participated in bounties in 2018, then go ahead and check projects, that have distributed you rewards. You would find that they most likely are already delisted, and have stopped developing or following roadmap long time ago.

For rule still the same between bounties on 2018 until 2022 but have different reward giving and several bounties campaign ended with scam after long running week, but always have risk for almost bounties campaign project but I just ask to bounty manager how keep trusted when manage bounty campaign, sending coin reward based on promising on bounty tread and never hold early for distribution before coin have lower price and bounty manager send reward to participants. have different between working system between 2018 bounty manager and their working right now.

Nah, not really all bounties will paying you, there are still many scam bounties out there. I think it is still the same as 2018 there are more scam projects than a legit projects so it's really difficult to find one that really pays. Only signature campaign that I working, I'm not interested in some campaigns because I had a job, I don't have a time to do some campaigns.

It was very unfortunate but yes, that was the reality on these bounties. But of course, there are some left good and legit, however, the problem is very difficult to see them, maybe those who have been managed by reputable bounty managers. Yet, not it gives assurance but at least, having their presence and helping to promote the project gives some chances.
Of course, we need to further our research, the market is soo tricky talking about bounties, and that is why we need to be more careful and put extra effort.

There is no too big change in the current bounty other than only some of the bounties apply merits as a condition to join, other than that, in my opinion the bounty is still the same as last 2018, maybe there are a lot of bounties now that use the BSC address compared to last 2018 using the eth wallet as the main address, but because many projects are now based on BSC, because most project bounties use BSC addresses right now, If think about income, of course, it can't be pegged to a certain value because it all depends on how good the bounty project we are participating in is unless we follow the project in a service that does pay participants depending on account rank between $40 to $100 per week, even as in 2018, now there are still many projects that end up being scams and of course that is doesn't surprise us anymore.

Each period we see the market change, and of course, the mistakes of the past cannot continue to be repeated. Everyone has a lot of skills to moderate the project, and currently the shitcoins that appear are very easy to check and report, so even though there are many bounty programs, they are almost always scams. But as far as I can see, there are still many opportunities to earn bounty money if we work hard.

Paid and the fee is not much because it is in the form of tokens. There have been several bounty campaigns that have so far not been paid for for some reason. In terms of how many bounty campaigns were followed, one campaign was completed by joining another campaign because the main focus was not on the bounty campaign.

I see Julerz12 most of the campaigns managed by escrowed but in recently i didn’t join in any campaign because i haven’t seen worthy projects even rewards is pretty lower. Bounty Detectives a few projects was escrowed but i think in their mostly campaigns distributed rewards as promised, In Student coin the team distributed maybe 5% payments, but i see still their managed projects paying hunters rewards.

Not that they are prioritized but its more on their choices of good and legit bounties that made them create substantial amounts. But there is really big difference in bounties right now, the opportunity to make profits has become lesser but the chances to make you lose has risen. So we can never rely from it anymore for decent profits. Though there are still few of them who are paying well, but most of the projects these days are never enough to create huge positive impact to the investors so they end up not reaching their market cap and never become profitable at all.

It started to happen last 2018 were the majority of bounties are scams, fake developers, no use case, and most of all, they don't have market value. In fact, I have some of these coins in my wallet. I've been trying to check if ever I can sell them but unfortunately, doesn't even get listed to an exchange.

Now, bounties had negative views. Maybe there are some that are worth joining with but the problem is really hard to find them, unless if you were lucky. In today's situation, we never expect good profit from these bounties, not anymore.

I participated in bounties within the year 2018, and only came back recently. During the period I participated, I observed that is difficult for most projects to list their tokens, also it as difficult to sell listed tokens then. Though the projects will pay you then but the tokens remain in the wallet worthless. Currently, I think projects list faster may be due to new DEX platforms like Uniswap, Pancakeswap, etc. that make use of AMMs, compared to older DEX platforms, like Etherdelta, Forkdelta, etc.

Currently, I will say about 60% percent of the bounties pay while about 40% don't pay. A number of factors come into play. IMO, projects have different disposition towards hunters. (1) Totally scam projects that have decided not to pay bounty hunters from the beginning (2) Projects that is taking time to list due to numerous factors - but have the intention to pay hunters when listed (3) Projects with unsuccessful sales/pre-sales, etc. While it is important to consider these factors in choosing the bounty to participate in, it is rather difficult to determine the intention of the project owners. I urge the bounty managers to have more concrete agreements with the project owners so as to ensure payment of bounty hunters, if possible have escrowed projects. Participating in bounties is a risk of some sort because it is time consuming and as they say, time is money. I am sure 90% of those participating in bounties do so to earn, not just for leisure.    

Sometimes when dealing up with bounties is that you do need some sort of luck because not all projects that you do look good will really ending up on being good thats why it is really needed up some mix of it.

Finding good projects is really just like looking for some needle on a haystack which it is really hard to make out some assurance for you to deal with the right project.
Some are good but didnt end up on hitting on exchangers which there are lots of factors which would really able to affect your overall profitability.

Actually, it would be good if all campaigns paid in bitcoin or any other solid altcoin every week, at least to guarantee workers some decent rewards for the job done. This way people wouldn't be scammed after a month or so of service and developers would have to think twice before launching any garbage to get money from investors, because then they would have to make a real initial investment to pay bounty hunters for the first weeks of advertisement, until some profit could be really made for themselves through the promoted project.

I see now that they have a lot of options to find funds from the marketing program of the projects, bounty is just a small part. Network testnet is an effective and guaranteed way for everyone to reach this field and still earn money. With the bounty I see many successful programs,VulcanForged Poolz Dego... are trending development projects that receive the attention of the community.

If asked to change, then there is a very big difference between 2018 and now, currently many projects are not producing as in 2018, not to mention many scam projects that are happening for now, I have worked on a lot of projects in 2021 and 2022, but the results are not so maximum, when compared to 2018, but because I have been involved in this forum for a long time, so whatever the results we are still here and hopefully next year will be back in 2018 for bounty hunters

Veey disappointed with current bounty situation. Very low reward for hunters. Those bounties which offer big reward prove scam at the end.
Some project fail and those which success and coin price goes high they refuse to pay all anf pay very low.
Previously some says ago Safuu bounties was one of the vest bounties. Hunters enjoyed much.

Practically nothing has changed .The income has become less, many will confirm this, it cannot be regarded as the main income, but more as a small side job.I can say one thing with confidence that those who promise large sums in 90% of cases are scammers.

Yes now bounty campaign is not like it was in past. The project don't get promotion correctly, bounty hunters don't get paid, bounty hunters do not work correctly. Everyone is using multiple accounts for more money.
How a honest person can earn enough Money?
I think soon or later bounty system will be vanishid.

Considering of participants in every bounty campaign, you don’t expect good amount of rewards, whatever if you will go to join blog,social media or signature campaigns. Even disappointed thing is most of the bounty campaign will scam or fail in the fund raising. So i think this hunting job is now worthless, it’s very difficult to earn good rewards.

Really unpredictable,  you'll just be hoping that the campaign you're in will pay you before it hit the market, has a good potential in the market gone are the days when you are sure to make profit when you're in a bounty, but now you hardly can see good projects, sometimes you just want to stop participating or try your luck in campagins in services where the criterias is high, there's a possibility that people will stop doing bounty campaign becaus eit's not worth it anymore.

Yes, it's true, as you said, at least hearing some statements from bounty hunters like us will be a positive input for those who hold prizes projects and of course also for bounty managers.

Even in these times, there are few bounties that give good returns but it's a matter of luck that we find the right bounty to work.  I will appreciate if someone starts a thread review about each currently running bounty as it will help people to join the right bounty.

Every day, a large number of bounty campaigns are launched, but about half of them are fake, and the majority of them end up scamming both investors and bounty hunters. I'm not sure what the bounty was like in 2018, but it's definitely not paying like it used to, though there are a few managers who bring in good projects and are rewarded significantly.
However, getting a good project in bounty currently is a matter of luck.

so join into best manager which is have good selection for each campaign they will managed. I am believe if you to him , atleast chance to scammed by dev team will decrease alot. alot bounty campaign have good potency in future as long as we didnt give up and keep working.

i dont think so , if more already multiple year we are here and everyday we see new campaign launched. if we find scam campaign its normal because alot project occur but it doesnt mean everything will done.

Interested for joining bounty campaign payment with altcoin not using stable coin like BUSD because altcoin payment have potential earn higher return or reward than using BUSD as stable coin, but keep early for selling and depending distribution time. Usually if distribution early before coin listing on market is very worth because have chance to sell on higher price when coins have been listing on market, but after listing on market and delay distribution many of coin will be scam and have lower price for distributing to bounty participants.

Reviewing the previous bounty campaign, there were many projects being worked on but not many projects that paid, I was one of the users who found the bounty campaign not in place or not paying at all with the increasing number of requirements that must be complied with.

Bounty campaigns had not been rewarding like before thus any participant who promote any project now should not anticipate any bid reward, crypto market is presently awashed and flooded with many fake and scam projects which are well packaged such that they might look like a real project whereas are fake, bounty hunters need to intensify or channel their efforts on other alternative means and ways of earn cryptos other than bounty hunting because it's a big disappointing after several weeks of promotion hunters wouldn't get paid or paid with a small reward.

Unfortunately i have only recently discovered this fantastic world of crypto and this is my first bounty i believe that the actual value can only be seen at the end of the campaign and is given by the stake / token exchange and the value of the tokens on the market

Right, i worked with few campaigns which offers was very lucrative for the hunters, and those campaigns was conducted for the long term but end of the day hunters didn’t received a penny it’s very pathetic because hunters worked hard with those projects for a long days. Rewards is pretty lower instead of the participants but BM should accept limited person.

Of course, why not, campaigns are still very proven to pay, but not all campaigns pay, sometimes there are also one or two campaigns that don't pay and it comes back to who the manager is, you should study, for now who are the managers who do not commit fraud in the campaign, there are several Managers who are very interested in bounty chasers, I will not mention them here.

judging by the question, it looks like you've been away from this forum for a long time and it looks like you've just come back

this is not necessarily, because this income depends on the mechanism of a campaign.

now so many people are following the campaign, now I am also following.

It's difficult to calculate anything right now, as many companies pay bounty hunters after a very long time, if anything else. Very often, several tens of dollars are paid for participation in bounty campaigns. This is certainly not what it used to be. But new projects are different and we still hope to find our pearl.
Now it is also quite difficult with signature campaigns. There are very few of them, the main focus is on social networks, although previously it was the other way around. So a lot depends on how much time we have.

Before joining bounty campaigns, be sure to research the managers who organize the bounty campaign. Then explore the project, and check the project team and their official social media addresses. As you know, there are many scam projects. Such projects do not do your work in bounty campaigns and do not pay any money.

It's no surprise to me that I don't get paid after working on bounty campaigns for a few weeks. Due to the fact that many bounty campaigns end up
as scams, so we have to be careful if we want to participate in bounty campaigns. The first thing we have to research and analyze is the project that
we are going to promote, whether the project is worth promoting or not. After that, we prioritize choosing bounty campaigns managed by bounty
managers who already have a good reputation in this forum. Because usually our chances of getting bounty rewards will be greater if led
by bounty managers with a good reputation. So as long as we can be careful in choosing bounty campaigns, then bounty campaigns are still
a pretty good source of income.

You are absolutely right, many of the bounty campaigns that I participated in from last 2019 until now have not paid. counted only 2 who have paid from the 5 campaigns that I follow. for today and so on, I don't know whether I'm paid or not, but I will still follow the bounty campaign.

the reputation of the bounty campaign manager can be a benchmark to consider before joining to promote it, but most of the bounty campaigns for now are very much different from previous years.

Not all bounty campaigns will pay you, choosing bounty campaigns is like researching new projects to join. There will be real projects and scam projects so when participating in a bounty campaign you should also do your research. My recommendation is to only join the campaigns managed by the reputation managers on the forum, limit participating in too many campaigns at once, it will not help you get more rewards.

I've done a lot of bounties this year, especially signature bounties but only a few have a decent value compared to 2018. Bounty income is now very low, although I personally still enjoy working on it.

actually, it is not the reputation of the bounty manager that is the benchmark for joining the bounty campaign, but indeed now it is different from last year 2016-2017 when there were a lot of projects and always paying bounty campaigns. and in 2017 there were also many successful campaign bounty projects such as ETHlend.
but after entering 2018 there were many projects that appeared but of the many projects at that time only 30% were paying

I totally agree. In fact, there will never be a guarantee that the project will succeed. With the current market situation, I'm not surprised that most startups simply fail to enter the market. The best solution is to check the project very well, and if someone does not know how to do it properly, then he should choose campaigns that are run by experienced managers, because they should always do such research before starting cooperation with the project.

Yes, the authorities who are managed the bounty, maximum are paid us, on the other hand, few manager don’t paid us. Some campaigns hit and get much profitable and few campaigns are not reach their goal and don’t paid and we don’t get nothing. But good managers are always tried to give us and we satisfied for their distribution. In the year of 2018, maximum campaigns are really best for me and maximum bounties, we got our tokens.

Bounty campaigns nowadays are too different from the bounties that we had years ago. Some bounties nowadays are being used by scammers to scam investors and will only waste the time and efforts of bounty participants because they will only get paid with shit coins. There are still valuable bounties these days but most of them are having a hard time dealing with the market and reaching success due to the current market situation that we have. It's too important that we'll join bounties being handled by a trusted team so we'll have an assurance of getting paid in the future.

How do the bounties you do manage payout? Do the bounty program managers use a google form to track bounties or do they use something like gleam? The candle chain bounty is using a google form and google sheet to record tasks and completed jobs.

It must be said that the crypto market has changed a lot compared to 2018 and earlier, the advertising methods of projects have also changed making bounty campaigns no longer effective, so they are gradually replaced with new ones.
I think you should look for yourself another way to make money instead of participating in bounty, today's bounty are mostly scams, sometimes you also get rewards after months of work but those rewards are worth it very low value not worth the effort you put in.

True, it's changed a lot from 2018 until today. The projects are swarmed by scammers, it's so easy to seek for scam one compared to the legit one, even for legit one you wouldn't get anything from them because the reward is so ridiculously bad when the community and the project team itself dumped their coins to almost worth nothing, where in 2018 you could literally make decent money from there but this one is just really different.

Not all of the bounty campaigns that I participate in are paid, because there are so many cases of current scam projects with various reasons that arise. for now it can be said that only 50:50 are paid and do not pay campaign participants. and currently I'm only following a project which in my opinion is the best project and is managed by the best bounty manager.

I am so motivated to keep promoting new crypto projects but..

1. So many new bounties on the forum presently are scam.
2. Good bounty managers are not been patronise anymore, I asked one he said new projects mostly don't like the idea of Escrow payment..

It's better to wait and if new good projects don't show up it's better to look into something else, like trading .

I am pretty sure that it differs from people to people. Some would use Google Forms and some would use JotForm which has more features for automation from my experience. Managers do not manage the same way as the other.
It depends on what is the most convenient for them. If I was managing one, I would create a program for it and filter out applicants with my app. Of course I would not pursue being a BM, but I am just putting myself into that situation.

indeed at this time the bounty campaign is very difficult to find because for me now the bounty campaign project is 98% scam.
but if you really want to make money on this forum maybe you can develop your skills such as creating signature code creation services or if you have a lot of followers on the you tube channel you can create advertiser services.
there are many opportunities to earn money not only in the bounty campaign. i'm sure you have other skills

This is the reason why manager prefer to get bounty that wanna escrow the funds to did the promotion. It's to decrease the chance for the owner of project running away from paying the participants.

The wrong thing is using bounty as your main job, can't you get a real job for that? Bounty is suitable to waste your free time. You shall not rely only with bounty. Bounty depends on the market. If bearish trend was coming. The developers will be going away to promote their projects.

indeed most of the prizes for the bounty campaign at this time seem not worth it, but I keep doing the promotion of the bounty campaign, because we don't know about our luck. luckily I always set aside some of the prizes to invest, so stay calm to work on the signature bounty even though many are scams, or are worthless when tokens are distributed. I'm imagining that it's bearish season now, hoping to get a big prize, so that I can invest all of them in top coins

I see that currently a lot of bounty payments have been determined per week, some pay 60 $ per week or 80 $. in 2019 I followed the poolz project with monthly payments for the poolz project for 10 months and the income from the poolz project was very satisfying for me personally.

Scams are a part of a bounty so you should get used to that soon if you are still a newbie and if you ask a lot of forum veterans, they too have been scam for numerous times but that didn't discourage them to join a bounty because despite of that, there are still gems and once they get lucky to hunt that, all of their efforts are going to get paid off.

The success of a bounty is not only being measured for having a bounty manager because many of the bounties before were managed by a manager do still fail while there are bounties that don't have a manager are sometimes get successful but I think that frauds are going to be minimized if the payments are escrowed.

you are doing the right thing when you are constantly trying to promote your bounty campaign project and when you are earning you set aside some of your earnings from the bounty to buy top coins.
in the past, i was also like you when i got a little money from the results of my bounty campaign i always bought bitcoins for me to hold for a few years and waited for the price to reach ATH. so i follow the bounty not in vain when i get a little money from the bounty and get big profits in the future by investing the money from the bounty to buy bitcoin in the long term

I didn't notice there, but watched the situation for a while, the participants were constantly asking for distribution. 

And a lot of campaigns aren’t escrowed. I think participants get harassed for that. Participating is signature still good, but at this present situation Participating in bounty campaign isn't so good.

I know a friend who is paid in participating bounty campaign but the amount he earn is around $15-$20 which the duration he participated is about 4-6 weeks until it ended and wait for the distribution. Once distribution is done you will also need an extra money for the gas fee. I would say that participating in bounty campaigns right now is not worth it ror everyone though some of us still want to participate because of poverty.

most of bounty campaign now have less value when traded in market, in bearish trend like current condition alot bounty will have low value due dumping that happen in many projects. Maybe only campaign that paid with btc still worthed to follow, or atleast paid in token but with flat value  no matter its price in market.

I think no one will tell you the truth, of course, it was possible to earn well on bounty before, but even now if you approach the choice of the project you want to participate in correctly, then luck may smile and pay an acceptable amount for your work, who is looking for will always find it.
