I heard that some bounties fail to pay participants at the end of work. Considering this senerio, how can one know which bounty is a good to participate in?

Even a top manager have their own failed project, so technically we can’t tell aside from the manager being escrowed the total budget of the bounty. There’s a lot of campaign already that is being escrowed, you can participate on that and do the job. Again, better to have your own analysis as well so you can know if that project is worth your time, some bounties are still paying good money here just have more patience.

first of all, I think this is not supposed to be on the trading discussion board but in beginner and help. and second one there is lot of good bounty manager out there Hhampuz icopress BountyDetective among them but usually not the manager who failed the bounty but the project did.

how to spot good bounty by looking the project itself is the dev really working on the project if the roadmap was good but usually manager already crosscheck everything but if project didn't give payment in front or escrow it first you need to be careful its trickier

Can't really know for sure. The only thing that's honestly worth the time is signature campaigns, or you get a job instead. Bounties have mostly been a waste of time for a while now.

Many of them are, if you observe with those hundreds of bounties running. You'll only see a few of them become successful to pay their participants. That's why they're giving a rule that's favorable to them and it's like if they become successful, you'll be paid.

But if the project fails and marketing, you don't get paid.

There are too many factors that you can set but even having that, you'll still like floating in the air choosing what's good and bad.

Many senior colleagues here have share their experience and have also catigorisr Bounty as a total waste of time, but it's still sure that there are good managers to bring good works, but Bounty didn't worth your time.
it's pretty advisable to take your time and learn, I promise you the forum is interesting and educative, you can learn and interact with people instead of wasting your Time on bounty campaigns that will mostly end up as scams.

You're correct, even you're got paid from the bounty, how you can really sure the reward is same like their promise beginning of the bounties? Because many bounties promise the token will be listed on exchanges worth $1/token, while the truth the price is just $0.05/token or lower.

You can't know which bounty is good to participate, but you can only minimize the risk of getting scammed, but you only got a worthless token. It depends your luck.

You'll know if it is a good bounty if its intent is realistic. A project is even more promising if it has a product or service that will be useful in the development and innovation of the industry or of this technology.

Don't believe in sweet and nice words because that is no different from offers that are too good to be true, because the truth is that it is very impossible for what they want to happen.

Before, bounty allocations were like $1M in fund and then no one has that thought of which of them was real and fake. Well, it was the ICO craze and many have made a lot of money from there. Knowing today how legitimate a bounty is harder. Let's say that you've been legitimately paid by their token but the next challenge that you have to face is where that token is listed. If the devs are good, they'll have it listed on a good exchange otherwise, it's listed on ugly exchanges that has got low volume.

Talking about bounties, nobody could assure that was a good bounty until it was proven.
A lot of bounties that I've joined before during those days when it was really profitable (2016-2018), yet the sudden change has come after that year as the majority of them are turn scammy and make me stop joining them.

 * transparency
 * known developers
 * liquidity

All we think is that it was fine and we can assure that it will succeed but somehow, it was very unfortunate that many of these like are doing an exit scam, some are just gone.

Some criteria but no gold standard

• Don't join bounty as your first priority
• There are more things you can learn and find jobs in cryptocurrency industry that is growing with fastest rate ever in history
• If you join bounty, let's consider
  
  • Manager is trusted and experienced so that there is enough pre-research before the bounty launch
  • Is bounty reward pool sent and Escrowed by the manager? If manager receive reward pool before a bounty launch, participants will be paid for sure -- we're talking about non-scam manager who won't run away with reward pool
  • Next, another risk. Reward you receive won't have any value or very low value.

Imho a good bounty has to have at least two things:
* good reputation - either an older bounty, either it's held by a campaign manager with good history and good reputation [beware, some look good only at the surface]
* pay in something valuable - preferably bitcoin, but it also can be an altcoin or token already listed (for some time) at exchanges

Imho in most cases, even if the bounty was fair and successful, the users usually don't get the money they expect for the work, because the payment is held in coin that cannot be exchanged or it has lost a great deal of its value from the moment the bounty has started to the moment of receiving the coins.


However, all this doesn't matter much: bounties keep getting filled by people who don't read much, just hurry to jump in, no matter what, scared to not lose their spot.

I don't their is anyway you can know if a bounty will pay or not, the only wey inwhich hunters can be assured of their payment is if the reward is been escrow by bounty manager. I know their are some reputable bounty managers in the forum which always make their research about about a project before they accept to run a bounty for them, but even those managers still fail to get hunters their payment. If you want to participate in bounty campaign always make sure you work with a reputable bounty managers I believe that will help you.

If the manager uses escrow and the payment is made in bitcoins, then this will be a good bounty program with a guaranteed reward. If the payment for the work done is made in tokens that are not traded anywhere, there is a very high chance that you will waste your time in vain and, accordingly, you will not earn anything.

Bounty enrollment is a game of chance and that means it involves luck. About escrowing of the rewards this does not matter anymore because a coin in your wallet when distributed but it is not in exchange, then it is waste of effort when it is not listed. Also some team luck up the coins for a long time and you can't sell even you having the coin in your wallet. It is luck but better to participate with reputable manager and coins escrowed because you can be lucky as I said. A bounty that will scam partipants will eventually do scam.

This is hard to answer since bounty hunting is all about luck based on my experience. A good manager handling a bounty doesn't mean the project is great, it could go around in the end. Even if they had a good whitepaper and great partnerships with some companies, they could still turn out to be a scam in the end or if not, their coin is garbage. It's all about trial and error.

You'll only know if a bounty is good paying once you receive a payment from it and if the payment would be in Bitcoin or other tradable altcoins with good value. We can't say at the beginning of the bounty if it's a successful one because even the developers aren't sure about it but if it's being handled by a trusted manager, there's still an advantage. It's just too important that you'll have a continuous connection with the bounty managers in the platforms that they use.

It's hard to know for sure, but generally the bounty campaigns here in the forum pay participants except in some cases where some problems occur or the project fails, there are some bounty offering guarantees of payment and some not.
Another thing about bounty campaigns is that you can be paid with the project’s token, but in the end you discover that this token is not worth anything and its price is very low, so it will be a waste of time. It is better to participate in signature campaigns that pay with Bitcoin, but of course you need to upgrade your rank in the forum first.

Now it is hard to says that which bounty project will good. Today more over all bounty campaigns were being scamed. Now the matter has become such that the work is more and the reward is less.  Although its work are almost entirely done by copy and paste.  As the quality of work has decreased, so has the quality of payment also decrease.
Even then you wanna work in bounties then go for those bounties who gives stable coin and also managed by a reputable manager. You can also go for these Managers bounties. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5387456.msg59562820#msg59562820

Gone are the days where bounty is relevant and worth for the time into those golden era of ICO's where someone could potentially earn thousands of dollars with it but after 2018 where that market crash happens
then this is the time where things turns out to be shit and not worth but surprisingly there are still people who are fan on joining up even up to now.

In the question on how to know a good bounty? In depth research would be the key but dont expect that you would always ending up on getting a good one despite of the
analysis you had made.

Just like on what others been saying above that even bounty managers doesnt really have that assurance for a project to succeed.There are lots of factors which could really affect
projects success whether total support from the community or just simply that project is scam since from the start?

How do I know which bounty campaign to participate in? I think there is no way to know. It's more about luck here. If you are not lucky, you may not receive a reward at the end of the bounty campaign. Also, it remains an open question whether coins will be worth anything at all received as a reward for participation. It may turn out that the project will cease to exist and their coins will not acquire any value. Your work and efforts in both cases will be in vain.

There's presently a lot of scams in bounty campaigns. It's either people responsible for the bounty campaign failed to generate bounty hunters rewards or fail to have strong community. Perhaps some bounty campaigns still pays but it's probability is very low compared to those scam bounties. There are so many things to know it's they will run away with their rewards, although it's usually luck if you get rewarded after their campaign ended and his legit.

Well, you can do some research about the project before participating although there's no guarantee that the campaign you participate is good but better than doing nothing at all. Some campaign managers already escrowed the funds so there's a big guarantee that your bounty reward will be sent but what we want is "getting paid and the token is worth something". Since many tokens that were sent to our wallet didn't have any worth and ended up scamming so yeah that's a little hard to get good bounties.

Since 2018 I have not heard of any project with a good promotion by holding a Bounty. Until now, on average, most projects are not very well-known, and are not worth the results obtained. Because many new projects fail and many do not have a price for the rewards given as gifts from bounty. Although it is not all, but I think there are many bad things at the moment. Maybe bounty is similar to gambling, because we don't know their future. Analysis is sometimes also wrong.  IMO

Not all bounties that fails to pay all all their participants, many bounty campaign do pay all their participants and  it's a few of them that do not pay participants and sometimes it happens to signature campaign in service board. so I believe that the percentage of bounty signature campaign that pay her participants is higher than the one that do not pay participants.

The best option is the signature campaign with fixed payment on BTC. But, this needs more hard work because we will have a very tight competition to be the participants. But if it is about bounty campaigns with native tokens or coins as rewards, it will never give you a guarantee if they are worthy and paid or not. Sometimes, they are very legit and worthy to participate with high earning. But sometimes, they are worthless and have no price or even not getting rewards even after working for months.  In my opinion, it is better for you to focus on building your account and making good contributive posts so that you can be able to rank up and qualify for the signature campaign. But once more, the main focus right now is not for earning money, focus on reading ay infomration here, learning more from any source, and also building exactly your account not to be shit-poster.

I don't believe now in bounty with start-up projects after experiencing low-quality standards. They just want to make hype and tease investors about their worthless and fantasy project and I think they are not serious with what they are trying to offer. It is so rare now to find at least a good bounty, most of them are just copying other concepts. I'd rather joined on a bounty program with an existing and well-established coin or platform.

None, if you ask me. Still if you are willing to stretch it, go with the reputable managers. Do keep in mind that often the most well known managers have been fooled and they even had to pay out of their pockets to cover the payments for the participants and shut down the campaign.

So if you are willing to get into some project that is worth your time, grow your post habits to a decent quality and once you reach enough merits to go for a rank, attempt to join a signature campaign, while again working to develop your posting habits.

Altcoins are born to fail and bitcoin is the only long term thing. This evident everywhere in the crypto sphere.

Bounty don't  not really pay like before, most bounties that are run currently are just scam project maybe that's why most reputable bounty managers are not really managing any project currently. We are currently in bear market so most coin won't really want to market their coins now because they believe people won't buy, I believe before you can see few projects that will pay well now is when their is bull run. Also most bounties always pay less because lots of people are now cheating in bounty campaigns, you will see one user with 5 - 10 accounts which is always against the campaign rules. so if you are having just one account you will receive just little amount. I think the best thing the OP should do is just to rank up and join a signature campaign and just forget about bounty.

In my opinion the most important factor is the campaign manager, most of those campaigns that do not pay their members are managed by newbie campaign manager or by the owners of the campaigns themselves, so they have nothing to lose if the campaign turns to be a scam, however if the campaign is managed by someone that has spent years trying to do a good job as a campaign manager then they have something to lose and as such they will make their best effort so their participants are paid.

Newbie or experienced one which still it could really still end up on getting not paid on all the works that you have done and into those bounty members that you had chosen because it would all vary with the
team itself if they would really be paying or not in the end of the said bounty.

Even if you are a good manager if they are intending or having changed plans about not paying then including you would really be also on the list on not getting paid but as manager you should
really do your part on introducing good projects but of course due to lots of projects in the market this would really be always the challenge.

AS a bounty hunter then the best thing to be done is to make some in depth research on a project and decide whether its worth or not.

I think that's because there are less or no ico's after it. I noticed that most of those ico projects that conducts bounty are high paying compared to now but the only downside is that ico's are also very risky. A bounty hunter can work for 3 to 6 months and sometimes can't get paid because the ico have failed or the project is a scam. Bounty and gambling can be the same in terms of risk but if there are difference, that is bounties are done freely but in gambling you will need a capital to be able to earn.

@OP
The only way to know a good bounty is of course by doing some researching and then try to join bounties which are managed by high leveled/reputable members. Goodluck!

The knowledge of understanding the bounty that is real and the one that is fake bounty can not be easily be detectable by any of the participants. The only person who can detect it is the manager who the contract is been given to manage the contract, because from the deal the manager can sense some atoms of fake management or lack of fund capacity to carry on the campaign. So manager is the person who will voice out the campaign is fake if the fund is been given before launching of the campaign.

Perhaps, this was a big problem now as we don't have any tool to help us know if that particular bounty is legit or a scam (exit scam). Even doing deep research on the project/bounty can't give us 100% assurance that it will become successful and make payment to all promoters. Now, it was really hard to trust them as even the Bounty Manager has been experiencing difficulties to determine it until it come to such point of knowing it was a scam when they are not active anymore

...
as mentioned above sometime research doesnot comes with a good suggestion.
I think if we are able to discover good tools than things will be a bit better for searchers.

It's not just some but most. Most of the bounties this day haven't lived up to expectations. In the past (I know of 2017/18) it wasn't so. Now, it doesn't matter who is managing it as even reputable campaign managers have all had their share of failed and scammed projects. So, you may not even get anything better by simply relying on a manager. I tell you, none of the managers can tell you of a bounty that is credible. Even whole managing these bounties, managers aren't too sure. In the past I used to think BMs could be used as yardsticks for picking and enrolling in bounties. Sadly, this day, exposure has taught veteran members otherwise and that's why you hardly see high ranked constructive users in bounties. Enrolling in bounties is more of an unmitigated risk.

However bounty managers still can play a small role and be a guarantee of distribution or success. Managers than escrow rewards have a bit higher success rate, yet escrow is not a real solution, as projects are ready to send reward to bounty manager, but often dont send him funds for distribution.

I would suggest not expect much from bounty participation. Consider it as getting a food sample in shop before buying a product. You can try, but you cant beat hunger with food samples. Participate, but dont expect a tiny reward.

Reputable or known managers could really make some impact on bounty's success or payment which they could really able to make up some follow up on project team about on the said payment
but if we do speak about value of the coin then its none of their control thats why as a bounty hunter then you should really make out some research on which project does have potential
and would really be worth for your time and effort on advertising them or making out some exposure.No one could really make out some precise point out on which one considering
on how many projects currently in the market and into those who are newly launching or funding then it would be the toughest thing of all.

That is perhaps what they are doing and they report projects that are likely to scam (any members can do as well). Their participation is very important knowing that they know more about the developer before deciding to run and manage the campaign.

Bounty is likely a dying market promotion, only a few people and most newbies are participating in this which is not really effective.
Just like the other said that participating bounties are just a waste of time and you have no assurance of getting rewards after. Of if there is but unfortunately, it just got stuck on your wallet because it can't be traded.

2016-2017 was the greatest time of bounties - many people and hunters got rich during that time but after that, the rest of the coming bounties seem worthless and scams. That I think the next generation of bounties could be worse.

---

Thus, if we are into participating in them or having a plan, we better not continue as it was only a slim chance to find good bounties and pays decent rewards to the participants.

This is indeed a trying time and difficult period for bounty hunters, there isn't any yardstick to determine a scam or genuine bounty campaign, some of these campaigns are well hyped such that it looks legitimate in early stage, however after promoting them for a long period of time it's developers will abandon the project or the token will be worthless after listing in an exchange thus rendering the work and efforts of bounty hunters fruitless, of non regulations of crypto projects give room for scam projects to thrive, bounty hunters have to be diligent and carefully select projects to promote.

if you have higher rank in this forum, better go to BTC-paying campaigns. most of these bounties will just waste your time and resources.
but if you have lower rank, instead of chasing these bounties, why not look for other activities that will give you better income like look for valuable coins that you can stake with or trade with. or offer your expertise that you think the community here would require.

For me, you should go first to make research within the project. Identify first the project, research about them if they are legit project like they are using information that is real, their whitepaper, the team behind it, and after that, you can also use bounty manager as the basis, is the bounty manager reputable? history is good and that's the time you can decide.

Experience is great teacher, just go on join some bounty, eventually you should be able to judge better.

What you have written is true, but going through whitepaper and team is enough to create a first impression of a project. This is my personal and I always recommend to follow own criteria when selecting bounty, but for me it is enough to check if there is no plagiarism in WP or webpage, look if the page was not created in a rush and make a decision to participate or not. I dont expect much from bounties, so I dont plan to spend hours doing research. Because sometimes time spend on research is more than time spent doing social media bounty tasks through all campaign.

I think things are more complex than that, your time is valuable, your effort is valuable too and even more importantly you need to make sure that you are not promoting a scam, and the only way you can make sure that you are not wasting your time is by doing a very deep research about the bounty that you want to join, it is true that it is time consuming and you will need to do this process several times before you find a bounty worth your time, but you have to do it or you risk joining a bounty which will make you work for nothing and you will never get paid.

There is many problems in running bounties if you join escrow there is big chances that creater will change their contract adress when payment time comes. Bounty present by big members has some good news about distribution. Sometimes it can happens a year for distribution but not solved any problem. So bounty can be scam or not paid or anything can happens so don't do bounty as full time do part-time with a big job then this thank you.

This year the bounties are better, bro. Many bounties really pay the participants with a good amount of money. Even if not all bounties resulted good payments, but as a whole the bounties this year are much better (the same as you said). I am sure the bounties will be good as long as in the bullish trend.

A few years from now bounties were the good way to make money. but nowadays, mostly bounties have been a waste of time. but before participate any bounties firstly checkout about the manager is he trusted or not? then read their ANN thread. It can help you to know about the bounties.

First of all, your question is not a trading discussion but an altcoin discussion. Then before you want to find a good bounty campaign, you must first properly develop your account here in this forum which is also always in accordance with the rules and policies of the Bitcointalk forum. Then finding a good bounty is hard to find, maybe it can be said that it is good if BM is in Hero or legendary is managing it because they will not ruin the reputation of their account if the bounty owner is not serious about their project.

Heh you can say that again.

After a few first months of bubbling enthusiasm, the frustration of delayed payments and then eventual ghosting by the teams or learning that the project was a scam - gives the ideal dosage of teaching. Reading this from other people makes little difference unless you are the one experiencing it and hence the best form of experience.

The worst part is realizing that the team used your naivety to generate hype for their scam or shitcoin and then ignored your payments as if you are unpaid laborer.

It's really frustrating that after doing your best to perform the tasks being asked by the bounty manager, you won't receive the payment that you're expecting for a long time. There are red flags that you have to check on and hints so you'll know if a bounty is shady. It's better to have an idea whether a bounty is legit or not from the beginning, than waste your time and effort for nothing.

During the bull market of 2016 and 2017 bounties were incredibly popular and many members reported incredible profits as not only they got paid, but the coins they got skyrocketed and they got a lot of money out of each bounty, however as time passed and the crypto winter came people lost interest in those bounties, the bounties asked for KYC, scammers took advantage of bounty hunters and the number of bounty hunters went up, all of those factors made bounty hunting unattractive and I do not think things ever went back to be as good as they were back then.

It is impossible to know from the beginning that a bounty will turn scam or just deny payment because they failed to raise money. In most cases the payment gets delayed but truely speaking, one must do some introspection and see for themselves if they feel bad about the team not paying them for their hard work and rethink this decision - maybe they are worth a higher respectful position.

This is why I encourage newbies to work on their ranks and join signature campaigns and not bounty campaigns because the latter always ends up in the wrong way. It becomes an endless suffering trying to make money from at least one bounty when each of them is a shitcoin.

I have also experienced the same situation. Whenever you choose the good and promising bounty, maybe sometimes you will get dumb, so choose wisely and make your time worthwhile by selecting a good bounty manager, according to the token they give etc. Maybe you get a worthless token. It depends on your luck too, but we still hope and be patient.

There are many bounty campaigns that work on a campaign without any payment from that campaign.It is really difficult to consider all these things. There are many people who are completely exhausted after campaigning.They are very honest and do the hardest work in the first stage and are not active later.In fact it becomes very difficult to consider all these things but especially the good manager should always do the job.There are some honest managers on the forum and I think it's better to do their job.

Many hunters have been dumbed by teams promises and whitepapers presentation. These projects tend to be more on the scammy side than legit side, truly speaking and the reason why that happens is also clear - the niche projects can never compete with similar projects in the mainstream market which is why they stopped trying to do that.

Even the NFT hype has died out and shitcoins that had been trying to be popular are gradually dying out, just like many altcoins several years ago.

It is better for hunters to contribute to the forum like a normal user and gradually improve their rank so they can get into signature campaigns.

What you have heard is absolutely right and very unfortunate that we can't change it. With the participation of these scammers creating fake and useless projects ruins the image of the market and bounties board. If you are looking for something to earn from crypto, it is better to stay away from bounties as even if you have done a thorough search this never give you assurance, not even to see it. Some projects look promising and have active developers but in the end, they never pay the participants and even scam investors.

There are many ways to atleast believe in any bounty because there are many scammers around the world that will never going to respect for you for your hard work. Bounty given a high rank member, Can be escrow, should check on Blockchain scanned, these can be handful for doing a bounty. Sometimes a new project can be a big in future. Just like YOUC bounty and many more so we just have to work patiently. Always do bounty as secondary job.

If you are talking about the bounties at Bitcointalk, then let me say you my friend that always go for the bounties managed by trusted members here in the forum.
I see that many bounties have high returns but often managed by some newbies, and at last after the bounty period overs, then just scam exit. So it’s better to get something than nothing and join legit bounties. You don’t want to waste your effort or time right, so yes do as I suggested and you will be never scammed in terms of bounty payment.

Bounties are not the way to make any money, they will not be respecting your work at all. Projects do not care about some "promise" they made, we all know that they didn't do that because they care about you or anything like that, they did it because they prefer it this way. So, I believe that we shouldn't be really shocked to learn that most of the bounties would fail. Because, they didn't care.

If you can find people who actually do give a damn about the participants, and you see them contacting and chatting with them and actually showing care and like what they are doing, maybe then you could find yourself something that could actually work.

What I to say about care, how the project will care about participants who mostly come for scam purpose. But I also won't say that you can't earn from bounty at all. But I think it is currently the lowest quality way to make money. Even then if you saw the campaign comes from reputable bounty manager and also escrowed pool then you can take a chance for it .

If you check a previous record about the bounty manager then you can easily know about the bounty that is it good bounty or not. Nothing can you know without investigation so investigate before you are deciding anything. There are so many fake bounties which do not reward anything to its users so know carefully about the team and manager of bounty.

There is no fixed way to know a good bounty to participate, you must do your own analysis to know whether the project provided the bounty is good or not. But if you want to get a big chance to get paid at the end of your bounty work, just choose the bounty managed by a trusted bounty manager and the payment is escrowed already. As far as I know this is the only way to secure our bounty payment.

*Anyway, this topic should be in Altcoin Discussion, please move your thread, dude!!

If the OP didn't move it, then simply report it to a moderator for it to be moved. But somehow someone didn't report that even though this thread was created since July 15, 2022.

Yes, in fact, many bounty programs failed to pay their participants because of:
- Scam projects
- Failedrojectstot he market
- Toen has been sent to participants, but never listed on exchanges
- Token price drops and dump drastically sooner after the listing.
These are very often tohappen.
that is why the ebst bounty is the one that use fixed payment with top coins, moroever BTC.

The only thing that's honestly worth the time is signature campaigns

Escrow is usually used in signature companies with payment in bitcoins. And such companies are really the best of those that are held at the forum. If you see that the manager is conducting a campaign with payment in a new token that is not yet traded, then escrow only guarantees that you will receive your tokens, and not that you will receive a profit.

Then you need to stop joining bounty since many of the bounty that we have now are not that sure or any guarantee that participants might get paid. I could remember I join a bounty at my early stage in this forum and I never get paid. So complained as a participant but they result was they are going to fix it and pay us but never see anything till now. Doing bounty could be a waste of time if you join the wrong project because many of those projects are big scam.

Generally bounties don't do this, they'll pay you for sure. But the only problems when they fail to pay is either when they are unable to reach their softcap and have to return money to the investors or when they are able to hit the softcap but are unable to list the coin on some reputable platform. In both the cases you'll get paid but yes the payment that you will receive will be worthless only.

No not most of them pay for bounty work done. At least 80% of them end up not paying, I have been in bounty in the past to see hell of series of disappointment going on in bounty hunting. The situation doesn't encourage serious work there except sometimes you can be lucky with project already exchange and you get very little amount of reward that is nothing to your effort.


How did you know about this with your rank  ??? :o ;D

Since then there have actually been bounties that don't pay participants who worked to promote it. Now if you want to join the bounty campaign projects that you want to actually get paid, the Bounty Managers you apply for should be @icopress, @Hampuz, @Darkstar, @julerz and others who have a high rank here on the forum and there are green trusts because that is an advantage, then there are definitely escrows as well, although this is only optional.

Then also read the whitepaper that a new project campaign has or the roadmap, then the pages that they have, see if the community is established or not because if it's just a little bit, you should think a little bit before you enter. And also check their management team and the address where it is located.

Look at the bounty manager is the first thing to do, most bounty managers I know they escrowing the bounty funds so at least there will be a high chance that we can get paid. But not every project has a good coin price since many of them only want our money after it is listed on an exchange. Second, look at the team behind the project and read the whitepaper you should get much information from there and you will be able to decide is it good bounty or not. 

IMO, choosing a bounty to start when the project uses escrow for payments given to bounty hunters after their work is complete. after that, you need to see the potential of the project, many of the bounty projects use escrow but the project has absolutely no development. It would be great if the project already has a good market and volume. Also see if the community is active and big enough, if so, then it's a pretty promising bounty candidate. maybe the last thing is to look at the manager, if the manager is trusted and experienced, especially if he has a high enough level, such as full member to legendary and has confidence, that is also worth considering.

From my observation concerning bounty campaign. I know that those projects that comes to bounty service or section are merely for earning and advertising the project. And i know vividly that such projects funds is been allocated to the bounties. And the process of knowing a good bounty campaign, it's primarily depends on the manager of the signature campaign that will quickly know a scam campaign.

A good manager must have done research beforehand on the campaign project that he will handle.
In the case of altcoin bounty boards, we can see a lot of new bounty managers, who certainly don't have that reputation.
some good managers have also made mistakes in project analysis. even some projects also end up scams. I know it's out of the bounty manager's control. they do their best, but if the project ends up being a scam and running away, it's not 100% the bounty manager's fault.

I'm sure most bounty hunters never research projects that do bounty campaigns. most of them just sign up. run errands. then blame the bounty manager when the project turns out to be a scam.

Many of the bounty managers has learnt a lesson concerning ending up of managing a wrong bounty campaign. And this has put managers in shame and cut down their reputation. Managers now is following projects with precaution because failure or continuous managing a scam bounty campaign and signature campaign tarnish the images of Manager's, so everyone is very conscious of campaigns now.

the simplest I think now you can look for bounty campaigns whose bounty payment funds are already in escrow. it looks safer for bounty participants.

then select a project whose token can already be traded on the exchange. so you'll see a clear allocation that you might be able to get.

which is mostly done by bounty hunters, I think choosing a project handled by a bounty manager with a good reputation. although that doesn't mean the project will always be successful, at least there is better bounty handling than following the bounty campaign from the manager with a new account.

There’s still a loophole on this because bounty manager securing the funds in token and it still worthless if the project didn’t continue or list the token on exchange to give value on that token. There’s a lot of scenario that this happened even on trusted bounty manager. A bounty campaign that has no fund secured is not a total different to the bounty project that has fund(token) secured in escrow because this escrowed fund is still consider as worthless unless it has a value and its value will be determined right after the campaign concluded.

I’m not saying that this not a good method to determine good campaign but rI just want to give a comment that even scam campaign is using the escrow funds method to trick participants.

Of course, and that's because signature campaigns pay in usable coins weekly. Were bounty campaigns to pay in usable coins weekly they too would be worth the time. We've had a few instances were bounties paid with Ethereum, stablecoins and a few usable coins weekly. Such campaigns got quickly filled up. The thing is that these shitty projects don't want to spend money and that's why they rely on their unlisted tokens to pay bounty hunters. Most times the tokens don't get listed. Whether escrowed or not, once tokens aren't listed they're of no use.

very easy, there are many good bounty managers here, HHampuz, Julers, One Nuts, Brainboss,
and a few more, you can follow their bounty and analyze the project first,
but I'm sure 80% of their projects are successful and always pay, good luck

Good Bounty?, one of my favorite bounty managers is the Aladdin Center, that's why I joined the bounty Aqua Tank,
I suggest you to join now at Aquatank, because it's a very good project and is held by a good Bounty manager too,
you can join at https://t.me/Aladd1nCenter, if you want it's easy to find a good bounty

One of the most best things about joining up a bounty is on getting paid but the ones what matter most is that the token/coin would really be having some value in the end because it wont really be that worth the

effort and time if you do end up on having those no value coins in the end of the line which is really very common when doing bounty hunting thing but its true that sticking with known or good managers

does increase the odds on hitting up a good project since they do make out some initial research and approval that this is a good project for them to run into but well its not an assurance.

Really? Maybe the scenario has changed in last few months of couple of years because until the time I was seeing bounties 2 years back most of them were actually paying you and not just getting work done for free. Infact a few of them would be so well paying that they will make you more than what a signature campaigns could make in an year. But I think now as tokens are mostly holdings IEOs the relevance of bounties have gone down because marketing is done by exchanges themselves maybe this is why bounties don't end up paying.

That glorious bounty period you described there wasn't from two years ago. Two years ago was 2020 and that was a period Coronavirus almost crippled the crypto industry. The period in question you alluded to was 2017/18. It was indeed a momentous era for the industry and that brought a heightened interest to it. It was also the era scam ICOs became prevalent.

There are a handful of honest managers on the forum whose work we can no doubt read.Like Hampuz, Brainboss, Julers, One Nuts , Bountydetective, etc.We can do all this manager work no doubt but you will have a responsibility you can do more checking.A good bounty is no longer seen like that these days. Good managers are no longer delivering well bound projects.And while checking for yourself, you must consider all the topics on the website telegram and ANN thread.

Most "bounty hunters" are just a bunch of people controlling many alt accounts with the sole purpose of joining as many bounty campaigns as possible, so i don't think they care that much if one of those bounties doesn't pay or turns out to be scam.

But for you honest bounty hunters out there (if they even exists) here are some tips that my be helpful:

1: Check whos the campaign manager, most of times reputable managers check the project before they advertise it (most of the times).
2: Do some reasearch on the project.
3: Do some more research.

There are projects that have good managers but not at all times the bounty is paying off. There's no problem with the management of the bounty but there are projects that had a good bounty that can't deliver what's expected from them.
I don't have the metrics on that so let's say that sometimes, those successful projects are really paying off but more times that they don't even with the best managers out there since the handling of the market is from the project itself.

Indeed, a lot of people take this opportunity since they can earn some tokens and then sell them later. They will win a lot when they got a good bounty, without a good bounty their hard work is useless. It's weird when I meet someone and said the rewards from bounty campaign is his main income source also he always talks about token price and distribution date which only have to sell intentionally without having a mindset to hold it.

I'd see that most of the concerns about the bounty are not the one who manages the campaign but the project owners/developers who pay nothing and scam investors. In besides, these BManagers are sometimes a victim of their sweet promises. That is why even having these known and reputable managers, they are not enough to say that the bounties they manage will succeed and pay back the effort of the participants. Whether we like it or not, this is really how the market looks like, it is really hard to tell which is project is good and scam.

I don't think this question is meant for this section, but you are a newbie and maybe you don't know the guidelines of this forum yet. This question is surpose to be in the beginners and help section. The truth is you can never know weather a project is good or not but it just depends on the manager bringing the work and if it escrowed or not.

when the project was published by the campaign manager, I think it was through the review that the team manager did. but we must understand that the power of the bounty manager will not change the project that ends up being a scam.
most of the campaign managers have also informed in the thread that they are not part of the project developer. Whether it ends up being a scam or not, of course, is not the responsibility of the bounty manager.
looking for projects that have been escrowed with campaign funds may be the most sensible way to avoid scams. although that still does not eliminate the risk.

Considering that to be true, would they not feel the "twice bitten once shy" thing? Some amount of grey cells would still be working in these assumed brain dead people that should make them question their actions and stop bounty hunting once and for all, specially after being tricked by the owners of any project to work a lot and then ignore their payment and eventually ghost them.

I can believe it might be an obsession for many to collect dust tokens worth nothing, but that would be a nice hobby in the real life, not in the internet. :-X

Overall, we should stop the, do this do that before a bounty. None of them are worth your time.

Not at all, but an assurance that participants will get the amount that they've worked, good enough for everyone who wanted

to join and participate with the bounty hunting though likewise it isn't the assurance of a scam since even
you receive your share the chance that the team will runaway without any good thing that will do with
the project, there's still a risk not to earn.

That depends since there are bounty managers that will surely put there reputation on a project, he/she might have deeply research on it before hopping in. Yes, that's true. Bounty managers aren't financial advisor not someone from legal authorities that already prove the legitimacy of a certain project, they can still be wrong on their judgment.

I don't think we can press managers to be responsible at all if it ends scam, he/she was more like of a financial advisor that you as a bounty hunter must consider the risk that it may end up badly in a certain point.

After hard analysis about the project managers select projects, but those projects doesn't give the good results. This creates disappointment among the participants. Right now participation into bounties were just on random choice. If you're lucky you'll get the best income out of the allocation. In recent days I heard about only one project citizen finance that gave good return, but that too isn't distributed perfectly and at the right time. Right now it have gone valueless.

The easiest thing I did to find out whether it was profitable or not was an escrow system, of course the bounty manager's reputation in this forum was very good but sometimes the project that prolongs or even not paying so I prefer to join the bounty that the Escrowed system.

There is nothing to judge about good bounties but the trusted managers and project highlights/ use case. Everyone (either newbie) on the bitcoin forum post a bounty thread with no information about himself. However, we can find good projects in future if strict discipline is adopted on the forum i.e:

1. Bounty thread be restricted for Newbie or copper member with less than 50 activities.
2. Escrow tokens (if TGE not done then stable coin). Better to escrow stable coin instead of coins/ tokens
3. If project fails to pay the participants in promised time, scam tag be initiated by respective Bounty Manager on the forum.
4. The project should have stipulated timeframe for sale, IDO, IEO listing etc.
5. Every participants of the bounty campaign is to try for best advertisement.

The truth is that there's nothing like good bounties this days. It's 95% risky to participate in bounty nowadays because most of the project teams refuse to pay the hunters, while those that escrowed the rewards don't even get listed sometimes. Even reputable managers can not escape this unfortunate situation sometimes. So, I will advice you to rank up and engage in signature campaigns which little bit better.

Join a bounty that has low amount of bounty hunters already joined or there are participant limits. Also such bounty should have only few campaigns with reasonable rules. For example dont ask you to make lots of social media content (simply spamming) with dozens of hashtags, and dont ask to mention other accounts except their. Project that aims to get more content creation from hunters, instead of trying to cover every social media and drawn it people mentioning their project. This will at least maximize your probable profit and show that project has serious intentions. But in general, no single bounty hunter isnt insured from being scammed.

That’s the problem though, bounty managers are not there just to protect the projects, they are there to protect the bounty hunters as well. If you make sure that no scammer ends up participating and getting free tokens, you should also make sure that the project will pay. How could you do that? Stop accepting deals where they do not pay you directly or at least put on a trustworthy escrow.

That way, the project would have to pay first, and they cannot back out later, and if they want to continue, they need to refill that chest a week before, and that way you will have money at all times. Such a simple task and yet many bounty managers do not even ask for it.

There are some indicators to consider when looking out for bounties to participate in. These may not guarantee that the bounty will be good, but it would help in choosing good projects or bounties to participate.

1. Sincere Bounty Manager - The bounty manager to a large extent determines whether you'll be wasting your time or getting rewards for your time and hardwork. Bounty managers go out of their way to ensure that they get a good project that will be beneficial to the bounty participants. In looking out for bounties, strive to work with bounty managers like cryptopreneurbrainboss, bounty detective, julerz12 etc. These are some of the bounty managers that are sincere and committed to the well-being of their bounty hunters.

2. ESCROW - Strive to check out if the reward for the project has been Escrowed. Some bounty rewards are Escrowed and as such would be paid by the bounty manager after the bounty has been completed. The bounties without the escrow tags are to be paid by the project developers and they may choose not to pay after the end of the bounty and there's really nothing anyone can do. Bounties without escrow are based on trust and we all know that trusts are easily broken.

3. BUDGET - Every bounty has a budget that is shared between the hunters that participated based on a stake system. The number of participants as well as the task carried out would determine the amount that would accrue to each hunter. The budget is shared between the different campaigns on an indicated percentage or ratio. So each campaign has a maximum budget and that should be considered when choosing the campaign based on the strength of your participating accounts.

4. DURATION - The time frame of the bounty should also be looked into when choosing a bounty to participate. When the time frame is too long, it implies that you have to work for the duration to be entitled to the reward. Some bounty strip out your reward when you fail to submit for two consecutive weeks. It's wise to juxtapose the duration with the reward to see if the payment is worth the duration.

5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS - There are several terms and conditions peculiar to each bounty and you need to mindful of it. Some bounty could require KYC as a requirement for reward, others could require that you have an exchange wallet to collect your reward. You need to be certain that these conditions are convenient for you before commencing the bounty.

These are a few of the indicators to have at the back of your mind when checking out if a bounty is suitable for you to participate.

Probably with trusted manager can't help us to find worth of bounty campaign, depending happened on Nody and Trophy bounty campaign if you joined on that bounty see reward drastically drop under their IEO price. Each participants received reward under $1 and I think most funny campaign. We need to make research by our self without see how trusted and reputable with Bounty Manage, some time many of them wrong and loss controlling when coins listing on market and reward under first agreement early. But if you interested with joining bounty campaign prefer choose payment using stable coin than altcoin, not guarantee price under IEO when listing if you try received payment using altcoin.

The same way you know a good project by doing your research, There are too many crap bounties on the forum right now and the only one that looks interesting to me is the one I am currently wearing its signature, here are a few tips for you

1. Choose your bounty manager wisely.
2. Escrow payment is more reliable.
3. Use case is what gives tokens value, so promote projects with good use case only, some bad projects are Escrowed, and even if you get paid the tokens will be worthless.

point 2 and 3 were absolutely must filled in our bounty campaign. Alot good projects that has good utility they didnt pay us due token didnt escrowed yet. As bounty participants we really harmed alot by this case. Bounty managers should be our priority too by looking their history managing previous campaig.

Done, bro.
You can see that it is on Altcoin Discussion already.  ;)

Of course, reputable bounty managers must do deep research/analysis first before they agree to manage a bounty. So, for the top bounty managers in this forum, we shouldn't doubt their professionality, they won't accept any bounty without analyzing it comprehensively. While for the new bounty managers, it is difficult to trust them because their priority is probably to launch bounties as many as possible. So, they may be a bit careless in analyzing the project requested for the bounty. They only focus on improving their portfolio. But I don't judge all the new bounty managers are bad, a few of them can be good ones.

They are also human, they can't guarantee the success of the projects in the future. What they guarantee is mostly about the payment for participants. So, each participant must do their own analysis to know whether the project is good or not.

Success of bounty campaign depending with how success of pre sale or IEO selling, current bounty campaign almost success on pre sale by reaching target not only soft cap but also hard cap, that easy how to make distribution on time and most important when coins listing always above on pre sale price. But right now have drastically different situation because many of project not running well, they loss from pre sale or IEO selling target. Without any contributing from investor all project don't have enough money for paying bounty hunter and make some of current bounties campaign right now become scam, I think this contrast drastically different with bounty campaign right now than current bounty campaugn.

for me to see a good potential bounty we have to research in terms of web and social media. see the project team in terms of identity and project partners who are really partnered with the project and this social media activity is the most important. Project development always announces its progress through social media such as Twitter. if it's better to enter this big exchange it will bring the project success

Personally, I can say that I already have a very long experience of receiving awards. And in order to find out where there will be a good reward. It is necessary to participate in all promising projects. And only then it will be possible to find out where and what the award was. And from all this I can say that you need to take and participate in projects and at the same time receive excellent income and experience. Many write that this is a waste of time. I can say that any job, even without earnings, but you get a lot of experience in writing posts and much more.

Some bounty managers asked their clients who wanted to promote their project that the funds held in escrow just to secure the payment if there is something that happens later. But that was not enough, rewards, and payments are just useless if you can't sell them, I have some of them in my wallet and just only stuck there for many years, I was hopeless.

To see assurance from these bounties - none. I would we don't have any of this - new projects mostly fail, and we are too lucky if we got one unexpectedly.

cannot be ascertained. even successful projects running from public sale to launch of their app may not pay the bounty for various reasons. Here we do not get any protection when working as a bounty, that is one of the disadvantages of working as a bounty, we must be prepared if we are not paid for what we do.

it's been a long time, you have to move on from it. although at this time there are not so many bounties that are worth, but you can still find some bounties that are quite worthy to support. do research based on what has been given previously, such as teams, social activities, clear projects, and others. if you want a clear bounty, then look for a bounty that uses escrow, it's pretty sure to pay, especially if the bounty has a market. even if you feel that it's not as good as it used to be, it's still quite worth it.

IMO, I think it depends on your definition of a good bounty, because if you after the big budget campaigns from good and promising projects Im sure it will not happen again because things have changed a lot in bounties unlike before, during the ICO craze in 2017, that many promising projects that have reached their hard cap target and truthfully distributed the said budget like I million dollars worth of tokens. But if your definition of a good bounty is just simple that you only want to get paid, then there's some bounty that was paid in stablecoins with escrowed and it was offered by some bounty management just check the bounty section and find it if you are lucky enough to claim a spot because most of the time it was very quick to get filled with participants. 
 

To be honest, today's bounty participants mostly rely on instant accounts where their followers are not really people who interested in crypto. This is based on my observations during running the campaign. Why still accept account participants? So, mostly BM considers accepting participants with accounts that use tools like #FollowBack on twitter, is to increase activity on the platform it self. The more frequent the activity generated, the more potential to be on the platform's search engine or when using hashtags, the post helps lead to people who are crypto investors.But for now, participants mostly focus for their profits than help project getting success on sale. I also remember one of my campaign participants tell me if he is don't care with sale results, this is really hurt for me or even for other BM if most of the participants also thinking doesn't care with the project during ICO/IEO, etc results.

In fact, the main target of the bounty is actually to find users to help the project to find people who are crypto traders or investors, but hard to find this kind of users. luckily there is a search and post suggestion feature on the platform that can help projects that are promoted to get a lead/prospects through retweets or creating original posts about the project.

back on topic, the selection of a good bounty that should be prioritized is personal research of the project that run the campaign. This will help minimize your mistakes while working as a bounty participant. Indeed, BM is the person who is responsible for conducting research first, but BM is also a human, there must be a mistakes made that are not in line with predictions, including projects that end up to being scams.

we used to know there were bounty managers Jamal, irfan Pak, Yahoo and sylon, they are good bounty managers,
even they have a high reward rate, but now the bounty only gives a small part, it's really hard to find a good bounty,
but nowadays maybe Bounty Detective can be an option to choose

Only a few of them are active. A lot of new faces over the bounty section nowadays. To know which bounty is good and which is bad, don't look at how much they can reward but how they conduct the bounty. A bounty with a lot of requirements, strict rules, and like you mentioned above, reputable managers will almost guarantee a good reward.

As like I said in similar title like this it's just really hard nowadays to see what is actually paying you decent amount of money, it's either:
- They pay you, but the reward worth nothing when in exchanges.
- Or they just scam you for the free promotion you have done during bounty campaigns.
Things like good teams, good roadmap, good exchanges to even start with, strong community, track record if they have any and escrow also many stuff to consider before joining one.

It is definitely true that you can be unlucky and pick a bounty that is not paying you in the end, which means you potentially posted and tweeted for weeks or even months and in the end you get absolutely nothing for it which is extremely annoying. I think you can never be 100% sure that you have picked a good bounty that is reliable but there are definitely some indicators that you can check if the project that is paying for that bounty is legit or not. Check their website, take a look at the team, at the roadmap of the project and read through the whitepaper. If it is just another copy & paste meme-coin with zero usecase then it is probably not worth doing bounty for them because even if you get tokens they won't be worth anything.

Nowadays it is very hard to differentiate between a good bounty and a bad bounty, Sometimes the bad ones pays hunters their dues while the good ones refuse to pay. It is hardly to know which one is good considering the situation we are in ,market has not been bearish for long so it is hardly to find a bounty that pays that much.

its depend on our own decision in which part we will join. Bounty with token payment will make us rich but it will not make us poor , maybe we only spend useless time and energy when it become failed. Meanwhile in stable coins , it give us certain certainity on how much money we will accept for this work. No possibility we will get huge reward someday.

As we have seen in the bounty section, very rare that you can see a project that really did get their value in the market.
This is why, most of the time, the bounty hunters are just wasting their time and resources.
But if you are willing to take a risk when it comes to bounty program, better dig the background of the project itself.
Assess if the project has the possibility to take off and they have funds to push thru the project.
Most bounty projects are failed because they have no sufficient funds to move forward.

if from personal experience I choose a good bounty by finding out and choosing a good network on the bounty project such as the BTC, ETH or BNB network.

I also choose a bounty that is done or run by a trusted manager and already has a good name or has not gotten a bad score in running a bounty project.

Of course, we can't expect much more at this stage because the market is in a bear phase and newly launched projects are not really effective. And I think the search for quality bounty programs has also decreased a lot, but there are still some projects that offer a certain amount of credibility. In my opinion, some signature campaigns are usually more secure. Check out the quality managers in this space and look for more programs with ESCROWED

Better yet, you should only participate in bounty campaigns managed by a reputation manager, or bounty campaigns with escrow. Reputation managers research and evaluate projects before they decide to manage them, so if you participate in these campaigns, you will reduce a part of the risk such as: not getting paid after the end of the campaign, as the project's success or not depends on the project, and the manager cannot decide.

Nowadays better receiving payment using stable coins like BUSD or USDT than received payment with altcoin, have gambling way when receiving payment with altcoin because possibility get lower price or get higher price depending with potential project or not. But almost right now all bounty when receiving payment with altcoin price drop drastically and reward drop under 100% like Nody and Trophy bounty campaign. Maybe based on opinion better with stable coins than receiving payment reward from bounty campaign with altcoin although have potential one day later price will up drastically, but less of bounty project will running for long time because after success listing on market looks not any new development again.

The best bountys in my opinion are the ones that pay in bitcoin, ethereum or stable coins. With all others, the risk is very high that you get bounty coins that have no value. This has happened to me very often. That's why my interest in such bountys is very low. There are certainly bountys with tokens that have a little value afterwards and you earn money with them, but unfortunately you only know that after the bounty. That's why you should look for good projects that either pay in a good currencys or where the project has real potential.  ;)

Bounties are more like gambling today, a bad project will pay bounty hunters and good projects that get listed on a big exchange will decide to cheat bounty hunters, if you don't want to waste your time it's safer to promote bounties that are Escrowed and ready to pay in USDT or other big coins like BTC.

Lol Bounty is not like gambling. bounty is a form of employment where hunters receive some reward in return for their work. Gambling is where investments are made and where there is a chance of high profits and losses in a short period of time. So how do you compare bounty with gambling ?

A good bounty might be like what I'm doing for a signature bounty right now
- Bounties are held by managers who already have good credibility in the forum.
- the bounty is already registered on the exchange.
- There is an escrow held by BM for bounty participants.
- payments are always made on time.

Not many, most of them are projects that have not been listed on any exchange.
The projects that launch the bounty campaign are those that are in the ICO sale phase and they need to raise capital, that's why there are so many projects that fail and don't pay the hunters.
Being listed on the exchange also does not guarantee that the token has value, a lot of tokens are dumped as soon as they are listed on the exchange and then it becomes a useless token.

everything depend on developers team , will they pay us with token or coins.each of them have possibilities and its own benefit or disadvabtages.paying with stable coin give us more protecting about reward value no matter its token price dumped or not, we dont care about.

If too many bounty projects failed to pay you a good rate for your effort, try to increase your post quality to earn merits. This allows you to join in a higher-tier bounty campaign in the Service board with plenty of good bounties and fixed BTC/USDT payments.

That is indeed a good guideline but even bounties by reputable managers have ended up in scam before (not the fault of the managers offcourse). It is not because a bounty forfills all the requirements that it would still be interesting to do it; I have the impression that 95% of all bounties nowadays are not really worth it (payment too low).

Irfan Pak has announced a new bounty in the telegram group which is coming on 15th Aug. Well, I think bounty should have limited hunters Besides strict checking of work and timely updating of spreadsheets and the most important bounty is escrowed, all these things are signs of a good manager and a good manager tries his best to work for a good project.

do you have an Irfan Pak telegram channel? yes he is a good bounty manager,
and some of the projects he has handled are also good, but currently there are more popular than Irfan pak,
you can join Aladin bounty, because they always have good bounty projects

I have joined two or three bounties in the last few days from Aladdin and I have a complaint with them regarding work checking, especially social media campaign work is not checked strictly by their managers because checking work in every 3 days up the burden on them anyway yes here is telegram group link https://t.me/Officialbountyportal (https://t.me/Officialbountyportal)

What you describe are benefits and are preferred by members when choosing between a good manager or a no-name manager.

Having well-known and experienced managers in bounty campaigns only means that you will receive your reward when the conditions of the bounty campaign are met. This doesn't guarantee that the tokens received as a reward will not depreciate in the future or will be worth nothing at all.

If you want to be aware of the appearance of good bounty campaigns and not waste time searching among the many dubious campaigns, then I can recommend that follow the announcements of the start of new bounty campaigns from well-known managers with a good reputation, for example, in the history of creating new topics or in their telegram channels.

Actually it is not too easy to find out. I have seen that many quality full managers are unable to find out scam project. Only number of members on social media isn't the way to seem legit project. We have to find out the legality of the project, what is the project actually and for which purpose, what is the real world value of it, project roadmap & white paper, legitimation of team members, physical office address and so on can help to find out projects that which are good or not.

I think it was the opposite. This new generation is supposed to be better because there are now lots of information scattered online to know if a project is a scam or not. If they did pay then they aren't really that bad but bad bounties are those who are scams and doesn't pay anything to their workers while it's not possible for a good bounty to not pay their participants because the reputation that they already built are going to be affected.

They won't sacrifice it for some amount because they can always recover soon what they have paid for. We are now in a bear market but the one that is affected is only the price and should not be the rate of the hunters and the quality of the project.

It's true that it's not easy to find good bounties with decent pay, most of the bounties in circulation end up being scams. Even according to
the results of my monitoring, choosing bounties where the bounty manager is qualified and reliable does not guarantee that we will avoid
project scams. So we really have to rely on ourselves to do research and analysis, to choose which projects have good potential. Actually,
for now we can't have high hopes that bounties can be a good source of income. Therefore, when participating in the bounties, don't expect
too high, because what comes next we will be disappointed in the end. Make bounties as a side job, so if the bounties we follow are not as
we expected, then we will be easier to accept.

We must prioritize the bounty funds that have been escrowed and the bounty manager has a trusted reputation, but apart from the payment guarantee factor managed by the bounty manager, we must analyze the potential of the project because not all escrowed bounties have good potential unless they pay for it with USDT or BUSD stable tokens.

managers must know developers team reputation if managing campaign wothout escrow. Its many time happen our reward didnt paid due token reward distributed by dev team their self. Only few managers that running bounty that escrowed only, they really care with their supporters. No matter how much value for this token but atleast they have inititative to protect hunter.

When choosing a campaign, it is better to choose a campaign that is escrowed and managed from reputable managers.
Knowing the reputation of the project development team also does not guarantee that they will distribute the bounty on time, or even if their tokens have a high value after listing, they reserve the right to reduce the amount of the bounty . This is the case I have encountered in the past and we can't do anything else even bounty manager because the distribution comes from project team.

that pay something with stables or popular coins?

the competition was tough so if you can't afford it just go with something with a reputable manager who manages the bounty

To find a bounty that we want to participate in and be able to get satisfactory results, of course, the target of all of us, then in this case we have to see first how the whitepaper of the project and the team that works is also very prioritized, if everything is suitable then we can rely on the project and they will definitely pay us at the end of the project later.

Only gambling bounties and maybe some projects that ask for a review pay in stable coins or popular crypto. All others prefer to pay in their own altcoins, because the only expenses they have are bounty managers salary and transaction fees. Never seen a project that will pay hunters with USDT, BTC or ETH. And it was proved many times, that reputable manager is not a solution if project decides to scam. Truth is, there are no good bounties, but there is luck and market.

To be honest good bounties are very hard to find or understand. No one can ever say exactly. That's good for this bounty. And currently no good project or bounty is brought for the bear market. No company can trust all the managers. So no good project can be brought. When the bull market starts it will bring more and better projects and we can all work.

Gambling bounty signature always paid with stable values trough with bitcoin on weekly payment, I think between altcoin signature bounty better for joining with gambling bounty signature. Many time signature bounty with altcoin payment reward not the same based on agreement before joining bounty campaign, always have drop price drastically but with bounty on gambling signature we can received payment with stable coin based on weekly reward payment receiving, but not easy for joining with gambling bounty signature, less than participants limited have got minimum merit points and exactly have good quality post.

I agree, you do not know how well it will be until it happens, we are not going to end up with a good result until there is a big sale going on and if they make hundreds of thousands of dollars then they will pay you for your troubles as well.

Because, thanks to all the bounty hunters, they got known enough and they grew big. But that doesn't change the fact that we are looking at something that depends on how much people invest, and not the team nor even the project itself. If people invest, you get paid, if people don't invest, then you do not get paid. So basically, all these bounty hunters have a responsibility to make the project big, just so they could get paid.

Yes. This happens very often. Most projects sometimes do not pay for the work of Bounty participants. There are certain obstacles after the campaign period ends. The most important thing for me is to follow campaigns from trusted managers. If the project ends successfully, of course we will get paid, if it fails then we both bear the loss. Losses in terms of the time we have spent promoting the project.

It depends also. I recall some gambling bounties that are still paying in their own token.
Well-established casinos surely will pay in fixed Bitcoin payment weekly. I recall some would even pay in mix of both BTC and their specific tokens/altcoin as an award. Though if I can recall correctly, this was back in 2018 when I was just scrolling through the forum.

That's right, a bounty that pays usdt, busd, btc is a bounty that obviously pays is sometimes hampered by the project manager if the distribution is slow because of something I've experienced. Such bounties are rare even though they only require limit participants. if you want to take part in the bounty with BTC payments, you have quite heavy requirements

Bad choose when joining with bounty altcoin, actually true what do you said without have investor we don't get money and bad thing with bounty campaign running more than two months but at the end without received payment yet with project failed. I know as bounty hunter participants have responsibility how to make project keep success but not only with bounty hunter but also with team developer know how they can make investor interested. I think if have choose between bounty campaign with stable coin between altcoin payment I will choose and prefer joining with bounty using stable coin reward, without care if later altcoin bounty success reach higher price but just less possibility right now to see altcoin bounty can success.

Sure having a great manager could be beneficial for you because they need to make sure that every campaigns they are managing are paid and at least somewhat promising for the community. But in the end it's up to the project's team whether the project is successful or not because guess what more than half of the projects that have bounties are failing miserably.

This is what I like the most. It has to be registered on the exchanges, so at least you know how much rewards you would get at the end. How big it is during dump is a different story here.

It is really mandatory, especially these days. Considering so many scammers using those bounty participants for some free promotions, so escrow is just a must have in bounty campaigns.

I agree that choosing bounties handled by bounty managers who have a good reputation is the best step we can take. Usually bounty managers
who have a good reputation will make sure bounty hunters get paid, although sometimes the reward tokens that bounty hunters get end up being
scams. Therefore, don't just choose bounties based on trusted bounty managers, we also as bounty hunters must do research and analysis on
the projects that we will promote. At least so that it is more filtered which projects are worthy of our promotion. But that's the risk of being
a bounty hunter, we won't always get good results. So don't expect too high when participating in the bounty, because indeed the bounty should
only be a side job. Especially in a bear market situation like now, it is very rare for a bounty to pay satisfactory.

Choosing known and reputable bounty managers is one of the things that should be considered on engaging on a bounty.Although it wont really give out assurance that you would be ending up on making profits or money

out of that which there are main factors which would really determine of a certain project tokens to gain up value and we know that risk on not getting paid is still there, even you do follow good managers but still it wont

really assure success from time to time and considering on how many coins or projects in the market then this would add up even more work for you to make some research.

Reputable bounty managers don't always send participants' payments successfully. They can guarantee the payment once they escrowed the payments before the bounty is launched. So, if we want to secure the payment, just choose a bounty with escrowed payment handled by a reputable bounty manager.  I already experienced it many times to get no payment although I joined a bounty managed by reputable bounty managers, because the distribution of the payment is handled by the team project.

The bounty manager can only guarantee payment if there is an agreement with the team for escrow payment services, the current bounty situation will not get many promoters if there is no definite payment guaranteed by the bounty manager. So now we are excited about bounty hunters because there are several bounties currently with escrow payment status and have been handled by popular bounty managers.

There are no hard and fast rules for a good bounty. What you should concentrate on is to check on a legit project. Legit project translates to good bounty(mostly). Though sometimes a legit one may become suddenly scammy and refuse to pay up(like Student Coin) or have a scammy bounty manager, who makes away with the bounty rewards. The later is more common then the former , though

You can avoid being scammed by not joining campaigns which don't pay participants in cryptocurrencies that already have a solid value on the market. Unfortunatelly if you accept being paid in stakes of a non-existing cryptocurrency you are under constant risk of receiving nothing for your effort after several weeks or few months of executed tasks. That is the inevitable risk you agree taking when applying for those campaigns.

I am not experienced in following bounties. because I've only been following it a few times. but all the bounties that I have participated in all paid me smoothly. and the price is pretty good too. and of course I use analysis before following the bounty. The analysis can be based on fundamentals and utility. and see if the project goes according to the roadmap. And don't forget to read the whitepaper too. if we examine carefully. then we will avoid fraud.

The most effective way is to do your own research about the projects you want to participate in their campaign, as well as when investing in a project, you should learn all that is related to the project from Ideas to the project team…
If you want to go faster, you can opt into campaigns managed by the reputation managers on the forum, they did their research and selection before managing any campaign.
Bounty are not popular nowadays so I think it's not a good way to make money in the market, you should refer to some other ways.

It is not a very easy task. I think since crypto is going through a bearish period, there is a high chance to fall down or scammed especially those are running as bounty project at this time.  A lot of project budgets have been escrowed these days, but no price is available. According to my knowledge primarily if a project has stable coin escrowed then that project can be good one

Let me just say you're very lucky because most of the bounties nowadays are time consuming with little or no pay at all. If you do extensive research on the recent projects you'll discover that most of their content in the whitepaper are plagiarized of some successful projects in the past. Good and convincing whitepaper is not a yardstick to say a project is good. although hardworking from the project team is vital to the success of the project.

Sadly, projects that run bounty campaigns now dont offer anything new to market. Same old ideas or trying to create something that is trendy. Usually it is no use making a research, because the projects are trying to create another NFT marketplace, place for altcoin staking, "something that will generate profit out of nothing", meme coin and etc. It is better to try to guess, if this project have chances to get listed or not. And the decreasing amount of bounty campaigns force managers to take every offer they have. I would not rely much on managers reputation nowadays. This all once gain proves that bounties are like lotteries.

What I understand is that for successful participants on the projects they promote based on luck, it's exactly the same as someone betting, maybe there is no way to know the name of a good project or not, mostly bounty projects, their tokens are not listed in the market.

This question is rather rhetorical. Because everyone who has been on the forum for a long time approximately knows what kind of bounty success awaits. As mentioned above, of course, if the token is already being traded, then you can approximately find out how much you will receive for your work. And of course, managers with a proven track record, and they can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Very interesting. Bounty is the most popular method of crowdfunding. I can understand that some beginners will be skeptical of trying any giveaway, but I personally think they are a great place to start. There is no magic formula here, but through careful examination of the necessary project details, a promising project is likely to stand out from the crowd. That is a simple "Just do your research before participating".

I have been following for a long time, people are getting frustrated day by day while working on Bounty.Most bounty scams now.  We don't really understand which bounty projects succeed and which scams.For which we don't get paid to work day after day.  There are also many projects to participate in the campaign of the project even after researching the project scams.Moreover, all the projects now do not correspond to their words. I have worked on many such projects. It has been 3 months and they have not given the payment yet. Bounty has lost its popularity due to scams, so it is not a good way to make money in the market. If Bounty matched words and deeds, all projects would have been successful and their popularity would have increased.

No matter how careful you are, you can't really tell which bounty is good or bad. It's becoming a risky venture considering the fact that scams are becoming too common these days. Even with the best bounty manager, a bounty can still go south. Even when they escrow the token, they can still decide to change their smart contract.
So, it is becoming difficult to tell which bounty will pay these days.

Yep, bounty managers can escrow the payment if the teams agree about it. In reality, not many teams agree to escrow the payment, most of them want to distribute the payment themselves. In this situation, the bounty managers cannot have the power to force them to escrow the payment. Bounty managers only can suggest them, but the final decision is in their hands. Well, if the bounty managers won't take the risk, the bounty managers can avoid managing the non-escrow bounty.

For me, the gems that I choose are:

1. Managed by famous BM
2. Bounty funds via escrow
3. The bounty allocation is reasonable, not too big and not too small.

Then just do a little research on the project to be followed.

Many bounty scams these days and just a waste of time if you promote them, but few bounties are still worth following according to my analysis and I hope to join the right bounty. Now that some bounties have been added to the bounty thread and hope there will be potential bounties in the future.

That's an important point, because we have to make sure the bounty is managed by a popular manager and the bounty payment is escrow status. But don't forget to add that each project must be analyzed for potential because some low reputation projects also use the escrow payment method.

Maybe I have to agree with you on this, the bounty projects are almost identical and more precisely they want to profit from nothing. I have tried to review a few projects in the bounty thread, most of them are junk projects, the idea is not new, if there is a team behind it, it is not very impressive. And another thing is that these projects are just trying to raise capital from the community, not from investment funds or big investors. This is the obvious difference of a potential project and trash project.

The trick is, from that list of three positions, you can only have two. You can join a bounty with a cool manager that escrows funds (for example julerz12), but such bounties have unlimited amount of participants and in the end you get $1-5. Of course the amount might change if the price gets pumped, but no one usually hold bounty rewards for such a long time and prefer to dump them.

Bounty allocation is a tricky thing. Often we see $50-100k in project tokens. A lot of hunters see $50-100k, while more experience understand that this amount can be anything. Projects can randomly set tokens value, and often that price isnt the same we see during trades. Projects value their tokens much higher than real price. These $50-100k in reality are several thousands only.

Escrowed not guarantee with bounty participants get enough reward when bounty campaign ending, last bounty managed by Julerz all participants reward received under $1 like on Trophy bounty campaign. What ever reason reward values not depending on Bounty Manger actually he need and find promoting with potential project altcoin. But I prefer choose with his bounty payment with stable coin like Moonbet, although price drop but have chance back to higher price again than Trophy coins still dump and reward received still under $1.

This can be one of the main references for bounty hunters to choose to join the bounty project, which if based on previous events there are too many events that the results and work are not comparable. And the last addition from me is that the bounty manager at least has positive feedback.

I agree because basically before joining the bounty it would be nice to do in-depth research and analysis,
anyway it's important but sometimes not everyone do that,
there are many bounties and we must be really observant in choosing

Yes, I agree with you, but escrow can't be said to be an important benchmark in running a bounty,
there are lots of tokens that use escrow and it ends up being a scam, for example Nody,
this is why we have to pay attention to the project, both in terms of fundamentals too,
if it is an aspect it's good then join the bounty

I've been following the signature campaign bounty recently. social media is always there in every bounty, but almost on average of them the pay is really not appropriate and even doesn't pay because the project failed to launch. I prefer signature bounties that pay directly with estimates or stable coins, it seems sure to be an income.

I agree. I'm not against the bounty campaign but it's just you are spamming the social media websites which I think is a red flag for me and other people might think you are just a bot/AI, I'd rather chose signature campaign which is circulating only from BCT.

What about airdrops? is it worth to do some airdrops?

Although i don't do bounties .  I have no experience on bounty. Still I mean follow trusted bounty managers for get good bounty program. And keep an eye on the bounty campaign which campaign used payment in Escrow.  Then your chances of getting paid will be higher. because now must of the campaign doing cheating for payment after campaign end

There is no way to know which bounty will be a good one and which will turn out to be a scam project.
However, since there are so many bounties, i usually prefer joining bounties that are managed by reputed bounty managers. There is still no grantee that that bounty will be a good one but at least we know that the probability of these bounties being good projects is more than the other bounties.

A lot project start so good but in the end of the day they leave you in the air in fact that we can not say that project is bounty is not scam because they have a good introduction but you must think that you can know if that project is a scam or not through the managers if a most reputable manager manage that bounty for sure they feel that bounty is not a scam . I did not say that all bountry manage by a new ankown manager is scam , not all but some bounty  is a scam

see how their team profile is really real or just a profile photo plagiarized from google or look at their seriousness in making promotions especially if they have registered on the exchange even better

Not all, but the chance is quite decent if the bounty is being handled by a reputable manager. Better risk in a chance that

you will be compensated either by the token or by a budget amount that the manager agreed upon,
the manager's reputation is also at stake though not an assurance but there's someone who can communicate
for the payment, unless the project is a total scam where even a reputable manager might be victimized.

In my opinion Airdrop is only waste of time . Because where most of the bounty are being scam there more most of the airdrop are scamer and also hack user data .  So my advice will be for everyone don't waste your time on airdrop It will be better to gain new knowledge from it

Some points can help bounty hunters to limit the risk of failure, including joining a bounty managed by a reputable manager, guaranteed escrow payouts, especially for stable coin payouts or coins that have been listed on the market. So both are important points that bounty hunters must pay attention to.

Yes, joining a bounty managed by a reputable bounty manager is a must to avoid scams. But we also need to make sure that the bounty manager already escrowed the bounty payments. Although joining a bounty managed by a reputable bounty manager, we also can get no payment if he didn't escrow the payment. Not every bounty is escrowed by a reputable bounty manager since it should get an agreement from the team.

In addition, it is quite rare that a team member of a new project wants to give the payment in stablecoins. Also, only a few projects provide the bounty after their tokens are listed on an exchange. So, we can't really expect this since it is rarely happening.

alot bounty manager even trapped by fake developers too , promoting projects was not easy for everyone even that experienced bounty managers. we often to see bounty reward allocation so high in bounty thread but when entering market its dumped , and many people said it as scam. and even some good project leave us and claim their success not coming from bounty campaign , we have no contribution there. its so sad if scammed like this.

this is the first thing to know the project real or not. Even we see anon dev team with so many reason but investor keep join on it. Popular dev team still have possibility to failed in project they build so what about anon team,?

Current bounty problem is - there are no potential projects nowadays. All of them offer one and the same ideas but in different wrapping. And I know that escrowing bounty reward is not a guarantee of good reward, but with julerz12, this is at least an insurance that you receive something. I think you agree that $1 is still better than $0. Who knows what will happen with those $1 worth tokens in half a year or a year. I dont participate in bounties to immediately sell rewards. $1 wont make me poor or rich, that is why I hold.

Your first line say it all. But I think most of the managers who run escrowed bounties do usually distribute the reward to hunters after the bounty. You can not singlehandedly mention certain manager as if the rest hold the tokens despite being escrowed. The likes of brainboss, BD, Aladdin bounty star and lots more. Let be honest.
Holding is not the problem sometimes but when some projects are dump that's all. Some teams do abandon their projects after dump. So I suggest you take some little profit and hold some.

It's very difficult to choose a bounty that can get good payouts, but after almost a year I joined the bounty I think the escrowed system is more secure, I hear a lot of complaints because the payment time is slow, and when I get paid the value drops so that the bounty hunter doesn't get paid accordingly initial expectations.

when A new bounty comes .first I will see who gives the bounty means who are running the bounty then I look past the bounty of that bounty runner then if the bounty runner gives payment correctly. Then I join the bounty

sometimes we also get fake trading volume or fake investors and traders so it's hard to get really good projects, but that's sometimes we need a big market like binance so feel sure that it's a big project and I'm not sure big projects come from p2pb2b market or coinsbit

To know a good bounty we should consider the time frame of the bounty, the amount allocated for the bounty, the manager managing the bounty, and the validity of the project doing the bounty campaign.  There are lots of bounties today that offer a reward that is almost non-existent.  They are requiring months of work but the reward is miniscule.  Better learn how to calculate reward base on the participant number if the bounty offer is in stake form.

All of these things would be useless from payment or allocation of coins been put up on bounty if this certain coin/project if it would be ending up on having no value.
This is why it would really be just needed for you to make out some in depth research of a project even though it wont really be giving out assurances that it would succeed but
it is really better rather than on doing nothing at all. Sticking with known managers is good since they are doing the initial part on choosing good projects specially to those
reputable and popular where success chance is high compared to others and with that alone then you could already presume out.

all of these didnt rellate with project quality , as bounty hunter we must concern to project quality , is it projects that will build something usefull or useless. alot bounty campaign with short time frame and also huge  allocation but at the end it become scam project. personally i dont care about technical campaign but prefer on project quality.

We have to consider the bounty allocation with the number of campaign participants received because low bounty allocation with many campaign participants will not be suitable for final token distribution, you only get low tokens so it is not equivalent to campaign for weeks.

You are right, we have to make sure the allocation for the type of each campaign for example for signatures then we have to count the participants that have been received on the spreadsheet, so we already have a simple calculation of the number of token shares that each participant receives after the bounty ends, but we have to review the potential of the project as well because of the high bounty allocation also sometimes fake because the token is worthless even the project is a scam.

In this bear market, mostly tokens on new projects will end up worthless since they holding their progress until the bull market happens. Just don't hope that when we join a bounty we can get good payment since many new projects struggle to get some investors because many people are not willing to invest in the crypto market in this bear market.

Some bounties campaign limited with participants and easy to know how much allocated reward for all participants have joined, but not all reward based on our calculated exactly with bounty campaign still use altcoin as payment reward. Have been allocated and sent reward to escrowed wallet before coins listing yet and bounty campaign begin on first week, but few weeks later when altcoin project of bounty campaign have been listed on exchange market price drop and our calculated away from reward values. I think this big problem right now when joining with bounty campaign although have limited with bounty participants.

I totally agree with you, and I will add what is lacking, namely about the escrowed and bounty manager,
because even though the whitepaper is good and looks very good fundamentals,
it can't guarantee the bounty will be distributed, because that case happened to me in 2018 .

You can check wheather the campaign you are joining is Escrow or not their is chances you may get less profit like 10-15$ but Remember Profit is Profit atleast you are getting Something from your Hard work rather than joining without Escrow Campaign that's later declare as Scam you can trust the Bounty manager with good Payout like Irfan , Bounty Detection and so on but it's better to join the Quality Campaign rather than Quantity

There is nowhere else to go here, it is known that the best option to earn money is with hard work and quality, obviously signature campaigns are a very good option, but you should not see it as a way to earn money , obviously many see it that way but you have to see it in a more professional way, that is, in my case I do my best so that the company I work for through my firm sees that my contributions help and make a difference, when a I work with love it is obvious that it is seen in the way it is published, however, when a company realizes that the person does not only do it for the money, but because they want to grow as a professional, that is something that only they notice, And that's where the growth goes.

the good bounty usually maneged by trushty and famoush bounty manager, in my opinion let's say Hhampuz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377), julerz12 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=950662) (if the bounty already escrowed with stable coin), CryptopreneurBrainboss (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1052091), and many more, if you already have high rank you can also join sygnature campaign and get paid with btc.
if you wanna know which one is good bounty and worth investing time in it then just like this dude said, try read white paper and if there already many participant with legendary, high rank or something they usually good bounty.

The situation in the crypto market is bad right now. New projects will not be able to reach in expected area. As a result, it will also be difficult to deliver bounty payments. Generally, if the market is bad for a long period of time, good bounty should not be expected. There are a few things to look out when identifying a good project. Specifically the purpose of the project, what can be the product, about the web site and audit report these can be key features to find a good bounty or good project.

Coinerer talks correctly and participation in bounty campaigns now, when the crypto market is in decline, is a waste of time. You can participate in bounty campaigns if like this form of activity and exclude hopes of receiving at least something worthwhile reward. During the bear market, the chances that the project will receive minimal fundrising and their tokens, which will be distributed as a reward to participants in the bounty campaign, will be of negligible value. It is better to devote your time to other activities, perhaps more useful not only in terms of income.

He is right, that expecting the income from the bounty will never match expectations so participating in the bounty is not getting high income, because the heyday of the last bounty was in 2018 and now we see the bounty with the lowest income over the last few years.

So far the achievements given for the bounty are quite random and to determine which bounty is good, we can judge from the progress given to the project and the work team is also very important because their role is very helpful in the success of a project and to avoid unpaid work, we could choose a good manager in this forum.

Now a days maximum bounty is worthless and it's very hard to pick which one is good. I think, participating renowned projects ambassador programme is better than a bounty. If you think you are capable to do content create, write articles, manage local community, promote projects in a positive way in your social media then you should find out ambassador programme. You can participate Oasis Ambassador programme and earn better reward(According to your activities).

You are right.  We will waste whatever time we have on it.  If we use that time in other activities then we can learn something new.  But there is much to learn here.  Which will take a lot of time to learn here.

Many ways to reach this problem, first check the project you want to follow, make the habit of seeing the web and keep reading what is available there.
Check Pancakeswap and Coinmarketcap, may be the coins they provide have been registered there, this will make it easier for us to review the campaign.
The Choice is in the hands of each participant, who wants to participate or not in the campaign

Having an escrow to secure your reward doesn't mean that your rewards will be worth millions. Sure you get your tokens/rewards once you have finished your bounty work but still if the team decides to just leave the project as it is without any follow-up or rather didn't list it on exchanges then your tokens will be worth nothing like always. Having an escrow is another barrier but determine if your coins worth something is another barrier.

Knowing a good bounty is very difficult these days. Participating on these bounties can be a gamble especially if it's not managed by a reputable person and your only basis that they will pay you is "trust". Even if a project has a good community it doesn't guarantee that they will pay you. It would just be a waste of time trying your luck participating on bounties now. It's more better to learn trading or other skills which you can offer to earn cryptocurrencies.

In my opinion, for now it is very difficult to know a really good bounty project to pay for the hard work of the bounty, not like it used to be, because the project now only thinks about money and never thinks about the future of the project they have formed. So if you want to join a bounty project, you better see if he has entered the market or not, if the project has entered the market it means the project they are working on is very serious in the future, that way you can join the bounty they hold on this forum.

That's another issue that bounty hunters need to pay attention to, but we usually do that before taking part in the campaign, although sometimes not all projects are listed as you say.
But I don't think all of them are dead, there are still some campaigns that give success to participants, you can see this in managers who have high confidence and have responsibility in distributing prizes

Please check below points.

1. You have to do a comparison between the bounty managers. There may be a chance for newbies are conducting good bounties as well.
2. You can check whether that bounty is escrowed or not.
3. Read the project white paper, do some comparison with their roadmap and do some background research.

There still are very good bounty in here but it becomes difficult more when your account is still a Newbie so something to consider is working your account to some level where you can be considered for a Signature campaign which I prefer to participate in than others.

Secondly, I like to work with some managers even though this does not mean it is a 100% guarantee that all their bounties will pay out but at least they too must have done due diligence on vetting the project and you should do too.

Also, working on bounty projects that have been escrowed and more so, if they would be paying in stablecoin/BTC makes it even more attractive but all this means as I mentioned before, your account has to be up to a particular level to catch a good signature campaign.

 Bounties are not guarantee for a successful project, some projects may run out of funds along the line and even if the bounty payment was made, there may be no exchange for the token. One can not say for sure which is a good or bad bounty and perhaps bounty is not a sustainable source of income. You can either learn a trade, learn a skill or possibly get a job. Also, you can be an actively contribute with good post this forum, as well as learning more about this forum because there are lot opportunity you might find here.

Once after the bounty different such situations can happen. It is all about the finding the best, which also needs luck. Over the years many projects have come to the market, but very few stay strong. My way of choosing the bounty have turned towards the bounty manager. For now I prefer bounties launched by particular BM, because I believe he chooses the best after deep analysis.

Teah, some projects indeed fails to pay bounty hunters after completing the tasks. The only way to avoid this is by participating in bounties that have been escrowed. Some bounty managers insists on Escrow before bringing the bounty to the hunters. In a situation where the project fails to pay hunters there's nothing that could be done by the hunters or the bounty manager.

Which one is good and which one is not good. There is no easy way. You can see what is the rank of the bounty manager and whether the manager has paid the bounty before and what is his trust class and whether he has eaten red cross. You can see his office telegram group there.  Many people give sms if it is scam then read those sms you will understand that no they have paid or not paid I am telling you some trusted and good manager names like you can do detective's bounty they are very trustworthy then there is your ham post Irfan  Brain Boss They are very reliable and trustworthy a group manager thanks.

If I personally see a good bounty or not from who the manager is, even though each manager has different characters, but a manager who already has a good reputation and has high flying hours will certainly select each project he will run. it can represent us in choosing a good bounty at least the risk of a scam is very small.
but on the other hand in looking for bounties do have their own point of view. But the goal remains the same, with the hope that the Bounty we join will be a big success. from the website can be assessed as well, from the value of sales to sponsors.

There are many factors to know if a bounty is good or not, and the most important of these factors is the manager of this bounty. If this manager has positive trust and has experience in managing the bounty, he will undoubtedly deal in promoting a good bounty, Also, if the bounty tokens are escrowed, this indicates that it is a good bounty and the participants will eventually get their tokens, Also, the bounty project, the whitepaper, and the project team are what will determine if this bounty is good and the hunters will get valuable coins or not.

unfortunately, there is no clear forecast of the success of the project...You need to understand this matter yourself, analyze a lot of factors about the project. :)

There's nothing with weekly payments, except for signature campaigns and that too has a duration, and there's no one paying weekly, like one in ten it's impossible for the current campaign, with good quality, once the pay doesn't match the work of all participants, not even getting paid at all, even the tokens paid by the project, to all participants become trash because there is no place to sell, that's why the interest in the current bounty campaign is decreasing, because the projects presented are not so fair and transparent, even like giving money parking to pay for it, very sad to see the current bounty..

Unfortunately the campaign manager is not transparent to all participants, budget problems are given, and not to mention when the project is a scam, why don't all managers ask for payment first, in order to prevent fraud, at least if it happens then, all participants get paid, even though it's not their tokens, at least get paid using USDT or TRON, so that all participants get what has been done from their work, sometimes dishonest managers eat all the funds from fraudulent projects, it's not impossible if the manager already gets the payment, that's why there is no consistency from the manager with the current campaign bounty..

First of all, don't participate in the bounty blindly. The best way to be safe is to talk to the user who posted the gift and make sure they can be trusted. The big thing is to make sure they are a reputable company with a good business model.

There are so many stories where the company's planned ICO never came out/confusingly called a "coin scam" due to poor management and funding issues. Some of the big prizes are legit because they will pay off. Start by checking if their social media accounts are active and if they frequently post updates about their project progress.

I personally see from the manager first and the percentage distribution, and the whitepaper of the bounty, will be the main point and the first thing I will see is of course from the Manager, because this in my opinion is one of the main or main factors in the bounty.

Many projects are launched every day, of course this makes it difficult for us to choose a project with a higher success rate. Apart from that, there are distribution problems after the campaign ends. For me, it only determines trust in the bounty manager. If the project is successful, and the distribution period has arrived, we don't have to shout for payment. Because the bounty manager pays it straight away. So choose a trusted manager, and have a good performance.

Usually with last several new project bounty launch right now not have excate date about when bounty campaign distribution reward sending, just give promise about bounty reward sending one or two months later after campaign ending. I think most important with bounty campaign can give promise for bounty participants about reward distribution, beside need woth trust bounty manager better all bounty campaign used escrow for all campaign running. Not matter with trusted bounty manager but also to know how reputation from some bounty project.

Now there are many scams bounty running, we work 4-5 weeks continuously but they give us nothing, it is not the responsibility of bounty manager also, we were always given a note in the beginning of the bounty, we are joining at our own risk.
if we want guaranteed payment then we must join bounty that has a pool in stable coins or in other famous tokens.

Actually, the permanent manager is the most important in terms of bounties, because not all campaign managers are right, so far as I know about managers who are really trusted by several people, such as Hampuz, Brainboss, Irfan-pak, and Julerz, and they have very high quality rating.
I think by choosing the right manager and the person is already very trusted, this is the first point that must be considered for the goodness of the bounty.

many bounty campaigns do not pay out rewards to campaign participants. although the campaign is managed by trusted managers such as Julerz, irfanpak, braindboss, bountydetective and Hampuzz. so I think for now a good bounty campaign for us to follow is a campaign that has given its reward to the manager or Escrowed. because Escrowed is the most appropriate way for us to follow because the bounty manager will definitely give our reward according to the time he has determined and is listed on the bounty thread.

Its not about the bounty its about how the project become successful and what was the response from the community. If the project is failed then the bounty will not profitable sometimes we can only receive a priceless token and end up to disappointment, but if the project will become successful bounty hunter will surely earn specially when the price of the token will rise after the reward distribution and listing, my strategy is that i always joined a campaign when the project owner is very transparent and already become a part of a successful project before it is important to know the project we promoted because our earnings as a bounty hunter depends on it.

There's no trick to know a good bounty aside doing some research on the project. Although, that is not a guarantee that the project will be successful. Now, if you are after the payment of rewards, I will advice you to join an escrowed bounty from reputable managers in the forum. I can assure you that reward distribution is guaranteed but making enough profit is not guaranteed as that solely depends on how successful the project is.

I think you are already promoting a thousands of bounty and earn a huge reward before. You said it well and that is also my tricks, i always research first the owner and the concept of the project and if i found out that the project is interesting then ill go for it, joining different bounty is good but the most profitable is joining or promoting project that we think has a big potential to become successful because when the project is successful the bounty hunter will also benefit.

How do you measure about reputable company if such company is still new and doesn't have track record to even look at. Sure if the team members was involved in some good projects back in the day but it doesn't really make much difference if those projects are failed with the goal they set just like every other projects in this forum. It's always been like this for past 4 years

And again don't just blatantly choosing the projects just based on that one aspect only, you have to check at other aspects to make sure you won't regret with any investment you make.

When a trusted manager manages a bounty and doesn't pay it, I believe that they also have a problem with the project owner because there was a case where the manager announced it because some project owners didn't pay the manager so it was impossible for the manager to pay so many participants because of this incident, maybe by following escrow there is at least an idea that our work will be paid because there is a legal agreement with the manager.

It's a bit difficult nowadays, even experienced Bounty Managers can be fooled by deceptive projects.
but there is also a new bounty manager but the project is successful and the market price exceeds the ICO price,
So it's really hard to tell the difference between good and bad projects nowadays,

It must be difficult to find good and paid campaigns because so many campaigns are not paid at the end of the work. if we look at almost all bounty campaign managers have failed without payment, but for now I think a good bounty campaign is one that has escrowed. because we have been given an advance payment through the manager so that it has been guaranteed by the manager, so participants will definitely get paid according to the time specified by the bounty manager.

for now I prefer bounty than looking at the bounty manager, besides that we can see if the payment is using the escrow system, where the dev has paid the bounty manager through the escrow system, and this will give more hope about the payment, after that it will be better if the payment it uses usdt or bitcoin, so we don't have to wait for the market listing after the reward is distributed. even so, this is not a full guarantee, and we certainly already understand the pedigree of the bounty campaign

there is no certainty in working on the bounty whether in the future we will be paid or not. even from time to time the bounties that pay less and less, not because they don't want to distribute the tokens but the rewards distributed to participants have a small estimate so we can't sell them. usually it would be better to follow a project with fixed payouts with stabilkoin, ethereum, or bitcoin. the drawback is that our income is only flat, there is no increase from what we receive.

The current bounty condition is very difficult and cannot be used for income like a few years ago, I made a bounty for interlude while learning about many things, in my opinion a good bounty is a top manager that has a strong reputation in this forum. Once again I say that this does not guarantee that we can get paid as expected because they only manage and the Escrowed system in my opinion is a sign that they will pay.

we usually don't use predictions just follow them randomly. because here nothing can protect us from fraud. but what is most difficult is that they pay with inappropriate estimates. whether it's the allocation or the selling price that we get doesn't seem to match what we're doing.

that's the best a hunter can do, join a campaign run by a reputation manager on the forum and escrowed
the manager and all hunters will not know and have no right to decide the value of that token but at least they will be paid after the end of the campaign
nowadays, participating in a bounty campaign when receiving a reward is considered a half-success, and how much the reward is worth depends on each project
i have to admit that earning bounty income is no longer working, people are just doing and counting on luck rather than hoping to get the results they deserve

In this business in the internet world, like you as a consumer, you have to be smart in how to sort, how to choose and how to find quality gifts.
There are bounties whose web sites and concepts are mediocre but can be hugely successful. It's really easy to see.
It is very important for you to know about the development team/developers who have contributed to the success of the ICO project.
Choose the highest review in the project offered.

My way of knowing that it's a good bounty is to be handled directly by a manager who has a good reputation. Of course, if the project is handled by an honest manager, each participant will get paid according to what they do.

There are many bounty campaigns that are very well run and don't pay each person afterwards I have seen many such bounty campaigns. We have also worked on many campaigns that have not been paid till date But always keep in mind to work with good bounty managers.Good bounty managers will always reward you. There is no chance of missing.

why failed to pay each bounty participant and who did not pay the bounty participant?. of course they are not paid by the prize manager!
Well, in my opinion, to know a good bounty is because it is managed by a team that has a good reputation and has a clear road map with its usefulness in the future

How to know their reputation?
How to know that they would be following that good roadmap?

This is the toughest challenge on where you do ensure yourself that you've been dealing with the right team but we know that its not really that assurance
that you are really that joining or supporting or advertising a legit team until in the end of the bounty.This is the risk of bounty hunting on where
you cant be sure that you would really be getting paid in the end of the line.

That's right, it's also hard to talk about good bounties. because there are projects that have been handled by well-known managers and participants who participated in the bounty project are already many but the token sale is not as expected.
Even though we have met the criteria for a good bounty, it does not guarantee that the bounty will be successful, the most important thing is that we believe in the bounty that we follow and the enthusiasm in promoting it may produce good results later, because sincere efforts will get good results.

back in the day, bounties are profitable and you can do multiple at once except for signature bounties people were earning a decent amount of income and also some became millionaires just by doing bounties. But now it's all become history and you are rarely to find good ones nowadays because most of them are shits that have no price at all when you finish the campaign and some of them don't distribute your rewards when the bounty is finished. That's why when choosing a bounty, go for the one that has already escrowed the rewards and has a reliable and trusted bounty manager.

Many bounty campaign is just a waste of time, after promoting of the particular project one to three months on bounty no reward and the manager we came up with a story that was a scam project which i have been encounter, But that really show a lesson, before joining any bounty campaign, have to make a research about the project and also, check if the payment is on the escrow, with that payment is sure, but some cases, after payment, the coin will be worthless. Therefore, they are good manager to follow up with there project that has carried successful project on the history of bounty campaign. 

Bounty is now a total waste of time, and having a bounty reward escrowed by a manger is no longer a guarantee to a successful bounty reward as the token may become worthless in the exchange if the team behind the project does not put in the required effort to make the project successful. You can only participate in bounties that reward hunters in Bitcoin or ethereum that way you can be rest assured that you reward can amount to something useful unlike getting paid with worthless alternative tokens.

From myself, I can tell you about my own experience of receiving bounty rewards. Yes, there were such bounties that simply did not pay rewards as a result. But in order to receive a reward for participating in a bounty, you need to take part. But to find out if you will receive an award, you need to take part in this project. Only after participating will it be known when you will receive your reward. So just participate in bounty projects and you will get good money.

Good point better than nothing, if by chance you have some luck and the project do some good run from the market,

you are going to earn decent amount from the coin rewards that you will recieve from good BM and escrow, it's something important
to research before you participate, else, it will turn to a waste of time if you join non-escrow bounty and the BM is unknown.

I think the bounty will never be able to return to its heyday, the bounty campaign is dead because the ICO is gone and replaced by IEO, IDO. I tried to join some campaigns before, and I still get paid but unfortunately all of them are dumped right after getting paid, some are not even listed on any exchange. Bounty campaigns are mostly launched from junk projects, they don't have a good team behind, don't have any investment funds to support and they enter the market with a bunch of tokens and those tokens can be generated very easily.

Having said that, they enter the market with the desire to only make a profit and then disappear. They don't intend to be serious about creating and developing real projects.

It's a way to choose a good campaign, reputation managers will pre-check all the projects they manage because they also don't want their reputation tarnished. Participating in a campaign led by a reputation manager will earn us a well-deserved reward at the end of the campaign. But what about the risk we face that the token has value or not? This is something that the manager cannot guarantee. Sometimes the rewards received are not valuable because the project team cannot afford to bring the project to the exchanges.

Even though it sounds painful, the reality is that the current bounty situation is not good. Very different from the bounty in 2017, which is quite
a lot of bounty campaigns that provide satisfactory payouts. Unlike the current bounties, most of them are not supported by a competent team
and do not have supporting funds. So most of the bounties circulating now end up being scams. After all, even following a bounty handled by a trusted
bounty manager does not guarantee that the projects are good. Even as you said after the bounty hunter got paid, the reward tokens obtained are
no longer valuable because they have previously fallen in price when distributed to bounty hunters. Some of the reward tokens obtained have not
entered any exchanges, so we can't sell them and end up just piling up in our personal wallets. So the conclusion is if we want to follow the bounty,
don't expect too high.

There are still many bounties that pay, of course with small payouts, but I don't think this is a problem because the current number of participants is very large and so we get a small payout, if we are lucky we can get good payouts, namely by holding for at least a year.

Bounty campaign era could said have been over depending with many time bounties campaign ended and reward success distribution price drop drastically, I think saw with many kinds of bounties campaign project not running well and success give reward based on values have promising between Bounty Manager and project manager running as bounty campaign.

What ever kinds of bounty campaign running like ICO, IDO or IEO always price drop drastically after the developer success reach their target coins sell, but first time listing on exchange market price drop and reward for bounty participants drastically drop than as promising on first time bounty campaign running.

Knowing a good bounty at this time is very hard knowing that the chance of you joining a scam bounty is very high. Most of the bounties right are scam more like 99% are scam and only 1% are legit. Even year ls before that are also the same. If you ever find a good bounty but after its successful time then it will surely drop. There are few things that could help to know by knowing who the bounty manager theg hired for their bounties.

 To identify a good bounty, you need to read the project, see its roadmap, its partners, its team's experience, and then look at the quality of the team managing it. What is giving in reward. Then you will have no problem in getting a good bounty.   By the way, many bounties keep coming.  Which are often scammed. Or the majority of which are bounties that give in the form of reward in tokens. If the token of this project is listed on an exchange or there is a chance to be listed in the coming times and  If the project is running with a strong and standard and with a good roadmap, its chances of success are also high. Otherwise, the project often fails. And the token is of no use. The best bounties are those whose gave reward  in the form of stablecoins.  For example, BUSD or USDT. Apart from this, it also depends heavily on those who manage the bounties. For example, Bounty Detective and Brain Boss are the best bounty managers, whose bounty is always guaranteed. These often reward in stablecoins Give everyone their reward honestly.

Everybody is just participating in different bounty hoping that one day they will make money from it, identifying good bounty is difficult now because even trusted managers on the forum always end up as scam bounty, if you see some projects white paper and road map you will think the project is real but at the end it always turn out to be scam.

^Even a bounty manager does not know the outcome of the project, because sometimes there is a project that sounds good to be true and they have all signed as a good project. But when if they will not survive or they will not hit the sales target during ICO, most likely it will end up as an exit scam and the manager has nothing to do with it. New projects as of now if you really wanted to invest it seems like gambling, yes because it has a high risk of being scammed and it is the same when you are in gambling it is a highly chance that will lose your fund.

When choosing to join the bounty project, bounty hunters may use this as one of their primary references. If they base their decision on too many previous events, the work and results will not be related. My final point is that at least the bounty manager has received positive feedback. However, it is difficult to identify good bounties these days because even those managed by trusted forum members always turn out to be scams. If you look at some projects' white papers and road maps, you might think they are genuine, but in the end, they are always frauds. Today, bounty offers a lot of shitcoins. Everyone is simply participating in various bounties in the hopes that they will one day earn money from them.

True and I forgot to include that bounty manager isn't always how you determine a good bounty as their work is only in that field and not identifying a scam project that is why I included 99% are scam and only 1% are legit. With that, you give support to that one. I would say when you quoted my post that should be the additional information that knowing a good bounty is very hard because some hide in plain sight like the one you explained.

There are a lot of factors on how to know a good bounty.
1. Responsible Bounty Manager, I think that is a very important factor.
2. Good project, if the good manager is good bad the project who are promoted by the bounty team is worse, then it was a failure.
3. At least pick a bounty that offers the weekly distribution of rewards.
4. The project is already in the market. :)

The bounty manager is only the person responsible for the marketing part of the project under the agreement with the project owner. They are not part of the project, so they cannot know the project's plan and its future.
In my opinion, we better stop working with bounty campaigns, they can't really generate any worthy profit. Today we have other methods such as learning to make money from exchanges or signing up for a program to experience projects that do not have a product on the market. Give them ideas to help them improve the product and they'll be well rewarded for the best contributors.
This way also does not guarantee 100% that we will be rewarded, if we do not receive the reward, at least we will accumulate knowledge and experience.

there are no parameters or benchmarks to know a bounty project is good or not. because no one knows what the future fate of a project will be.
Many successful bounty projects do not pay bounty participants or reduce the allocation for bounties. I think right now it's best to participate in a bounty that uses escrow because the payment is clear.

Some of these factors you mentioned are not a yardstick or guarantee a good bounty. Let take a look at them one after the other.
1. Responsible manager: does this guarantee a good bounty? The answer is obviously NO. Haven't you seen a reputable managers manage a failed project?
2. Good project: the question here is how do you identify a good project?
3. Weekly distribution: aside signature campaign, most of the project won't agree to this term. And besides, I don't see this workable for some managers who always update sheets lately.
4. Project is Already in the market: going by this, you've ruled out new projects conducting a bounty which in one way or another help to grow their projects.
Conclusively, the above can help reduce the risk but not absolutely a factor to know a good bounty. After all, it's all about taking risks.

When finding a bounty, select a bounty with escrow, meaning the project team payment is already with the manager. we cannot determine which bounty is good or bad.
You can also check the Bounty manager's reputation. 

First you have to know the level of trust of the bounty management manager, because those who have a good reputation, rarely do anything related to failure to pay, unless they fail to be paid by the project owner, it's not entirely the manager's fault.
This is what you have to distinguish, failed to be paid by the project owner or bounty manager (Manager)

Bounty offering who have good bounty manager and escrow, it's good enough to know that rewards are available

once the time frame was already done, though there's no assurance if the bounty rewards will be rewardful or if you will gain
something from the offer, but it's better than no rewards at all. You have to learn how to pick the right team who is conducting
the bounty and prepare yourself not to lean much with the potential amount of possible rewards.

There are many aspects to access a bounty to know if it will be successful or not. Escrow is one aspect of bounty that gives a good assurance that a bounty could be successful, especially if it is being held by a reputable bounty manager. If the escrow is in USDT or other stable coin, then that helps to increase the trust. Apart from these mentioned points, it is really difficult to know which bounty will be successful. Once the bounty departs form being escrow, then, it is a higher risk.

Though, in some instances you should not even trust the team. One of the bounty I participated in, did not pay because one of the bounty management team absconded with the funds. That is, the project owner paid the team in their wallet only for one of the bounty management team members to abscond with the funds - so we were told by the manager.

Many project/token owners have refused to pay the hunters after their project was completed in recent times. And most times, since they are online, it is all about making themselves inaccessible, and that will be the end of the project. Some go as far as deleting their website and other social accounts for completely scam projects.

Even with a good manager, some projects end up paying hunters worthless tokens - that is not up to one dollar in some instances. A bounty can only be said to be a success when it has rewarded hunters as well as well as success in the IDO, ICO or other marketing activity as the case may be.

You have to see the founder and team of the Bounty, sometimes many of them are fake, just want to deceive investors, overall you have to check the web and their white paper well, many things to learn in the assessment of the Bounty.

I realize a few bounties are currently successful and honest, the rest are problematic of all.

Beside make our research to know with good project on team developing this important thing why choose experience with Bounty Manager because they know about fake team developer, try to get investor and coins success sold on public sale then not listing yet on exchange market or listing with dapp exchange market only like Pancakeswap for usually BSC coin network right now.
Most difficult nowadays to find with potential project bounty campaign after with many time price drop when listing and reward sending to bounty participants, not only with reward reduced but also investor get loss money with bad project building because have lower price when listing on exchange market.

I admit it's not easy to find a good bounty, sometimes we've done some research first as you said, by checking the teams project, white paper
and social media. But still often we end up getting bad bounties, which several times the bounty I participated in paid with trash tokens,
which couldn't be sold because tokens never entered the exchange. Or even the reward tokens given are of no value, because before reward tokens
were distributed, by the teams project had been dumped first. It doesn't even guarantee that the bounty managed by a trusted bounty manager will
get a good bounty. The conclusion now is that most of the bounties circulating are bad and we really don't have high hopes for the bounty,
later we can be disappointed in the end. For me finding good bounties sometimes takes luck too.

I consider it 50/50 for the bounty analysis factor and luck, because no matter how good the project concept does not guarantee high payouts because the token price is not expected, but sometimes we see bounty projects have low analytical values based on whitepaper reviews and news updates, but who would have thought they distributed the highest paid for bounty hunters.

It's actually quite difficult to know which bounties are good or not. Bounties that have high potential or not will be difficult to find. I'm still a beginner so I don't know much. but at least I'm sure that a good manager will choose a good bounty project. so the reputation of the manager can be used as a reference here. because a conscientious manager will definitely not accept a project arbitrarily. because it could damage his reputation if his campaign project turned out to be a scam.

You should care about the project, not the aesthetics. Most people join the project based on the design of the bounty page. No, it shouldn't be like that. You need to pay attention to the potential and vision of the project. In addition, the profile of the person who organizes the bounty program is an important factor for me.

In the crypto world, surprises often occur, because everything is difficult to predict. What you say is true, because no matter how good our
research results on a project, still there is no guarantee that the project can provide a satisfactory payment. There are several factors that
cause the value of the reward tokens that we get from the bounty the price can change drastically. As I said before there is a luck factor that
can finally make us get a good payout from the bounty. That's why I never get my hopes up too high every time I join a bounty. I am afraid of
being disappointed the results are far from my expectations, even though I have sacrificed my time to promote these projects. So let it hang on
my luck, the important thing is I've done my best to choose a good bounty.


It's true that we should prioritize bounties that use escrow for payments, so that we can at least make sure we get paid as promised,
although sometimes the reward tokens obtained are of no value and cannot be sold. But at least there's some satisfaction in getting paid.
There's something even safer, by choosing a bounty with stablecoins paid, I admit it is safe and quite satisfying. Unfortunately it is very rare
for bounties to pay with stablecoins. Despite the many disappointing from bounties, but several times I've followed a bounty with good pay,
meaning as long as we don't give up and can be patient in facing a bad situation. At least the bounty is still good enough as a side job to be
able to make additional money without the need to spend money.

As a hunter, in the past, I overworked myself by joining every bounty that exists in the bitcointalk forum, but along the way, I begin to be more selective. According to my experience, I started to choose several bounties that I think will give profits (Although it's still can't be guaranteed that the dev will pay the rewards or if the project 100% legit, at least I try). Some of the considerations that I have before taking some bounties such as :

1. I just do bounties from trustable bounty managers. Some of the bounty managers don't care about the hunters, they just take as many projects as they can for the fees and take no action when the devs don't pay the rewards or even stop in the middle of the campaign period. I also don't take random bounties from managers whose low rank unless some of that I already knew. I took some from newbies or copper members rank only if they represent the project itself and the team is doxxed or the campaign looks professional (they truly checked the hunter's work one by one meticulously). If you observe well, the many projects that each bounty manager held, there are some patterns it can be used to decide whether you'll join their next campaign again or not.

2. Escrowed. Even though the devs can still deceive us by changing the smart contract etc, I think escrow will minimize the risk for being scammed or unpaid. I certainly will prefer the escrowed one than not

We can't make sure which bounties are good or not, but we can still try to minimize the risk, to select the ones that are worth our energy, mind, and time.

It's hard for us to know which one is good for you to follow,
before we follow the bounty, you must first see the rules they apply, and what we have to do with the bounty that you will follow. Indeed there are some like you said, after following everything from the bounty they do not pay, or they pay but the token is not on the market aka coin scam.
So we must have a lot of patience in participating in each bounty, the name is a gift, maybe the gift they give to us bounty participants is very valuable or vice versa. This is where you need to be careful in choosing and following the bounty projects they offer.

Although it is difficult to know for sure whether the bounty campaign is good or not, but at least we can pay attention to the following steps in finding a good bounty pay attention.

1. See the development of token sales
2. Choose a bounty with a transparent ICO or IEO
3. The extent to which updates on information on the progress of the bounty project.
4. Choose a bounty with the best ICO or IEO rating so that the guarantee you get will be even greater.
5. Have a professional team or developer.

In addition to the steps above, of course, you must also pay attention to who is the manager who manages the bounty because if the manager who manages the bounty is not professional, in the end they will not pay the participants.

Before joining a bounty, it is also important to do research first and choose a bounty managed by a manager who already has good experience,
indeed doing research takes time but that way at least we can join a clear bounty,
Even so, that doesn't mean it's a guarantee

Bounties are originated regularly and everyone wishes to be a part of it as it is the source of awesome profit.  If you are looking towards the description of bounty so just initially know about its cash donation after that just see that how many members are associated here so you think that it is good bounty as lots of people aspires to enter here.

Yes, that's right, many bounty campaign participants do not receive payment for various reasons so that campaign participants do not get anything after participating in the campaign for 1 to 2 months. but for now there are several managers who have done escrowed. so participants won't have to worry about payouts after the campaign ends. In my opinion, there are some of the best managers, Julerz, Hampuzz and BrainBoss.

not for now, it looks like bounties are no longer a source of big profits and the stigma has changed very much from what has been experienced in the past. Finding a good bounty is very difficult at this time and it is not easy to find the right criteria to be used as a reference in choosing the bounty.
you are right that one of the criteria is the amount of cash donations provided (besides of course from the BM), the question is do you see that currently the available donations are quite tempting? not at all, what is provided is far from the number of participants because many participants will actually make the value decrease a lot.

it should be best to keep giving promoted coins because the hope is that what we are promoting will reach the maximum value at least the minimum has been met, then there will be reciprocity from the promotions that have been carried out.
although this will also not guarantee that you will get a good source of profit if the minimum value is not met, but it is reasonable because that is the consequence of us helping for promotions.

Bounty is not what it used to be.There are no more safe projects.It happens that they don't pay.But it happens in most cases that the project is a fraud.They created a so-called bounty, in order to advertise themselves and gather as many investors as possible. But if they don't start according to plan, they quickly give up and disappear from the forum.And if they happen to pay.The token will never be listed in the exchange.

always happy to talk about the current bounty, provide support and contribute to be better known through social media and other information tools so that there will be reciprocity that will occur automatically, but currently the contributions made to support everything are in vain because there is no bounty that can do whatever it takes to make us happy if we support him.

the point of elaboration you gave was very good mate, but the most important of all is point 5, where indeed to choose the best is very difficult and we choose from a credible and trustworthy team and dev, where we hope well and transparently will be able to do good and not cheat is already extraordinary.

maybe there is importance is the role of BM who can indeed be a mediator and play an important role in it, there will be many obstacles if you research well before joining because not all have the capacity to examine it. but with a good BM we can make sure they register a bounty that can be trusted because BM doesn't always receive it directly but there is always their internal correction. now returned, is there any BM that has met the criteria at this time? always continue to hope that the 2017-2018 period will repeat itself and the benefits of the bounty can be felt and able to contribute as well.

Right. I agree with you that the current bounty is not what it used to be where many bounties are now unsafe and do not last long term. Not even a few of the projects that were launched did not have long-term plans and only wanted to raise money from investors who in the end did not care about their tokens on the exchange.

totally agree, despite the market, and a lot of failed projects, the world is developing, and not a few projects with great potential, in ideal circumstances, is to enter projects at an early stage, can certainly be long, but there is a huge advantage in this approach, you can learn a lot and drill for yourself, whether it is worth it to participate, not to mention the rewards, which can get more and before everyone

in fact, i think the current bounty is the best compared to 2018, too many scam projects that only seek funds from investors and then disappear.
and now some of the bounties have been paid in advance and are held by the bounty manager who has a chance that your work will still be paid even though the allocation for the bounty is not as much as before but at least it still pays and if the price of the coin is dump or pump it is just a bonus.
and currently some bounties are managed by members who have good trust. so you don't have to worry if your work is not paid

I think there are several parameters in following the bounty.

First, one thing is certain when you see the words "Escrow" when registering participants in one of the administrators. That means some tokens are already in the maintainer, and obviously already paid for.

Second, you can see achievements or trust in the bounty manager. The more achievements, the higher the level of confidence.

Bear market is really not easy and every trader and investor must feel the same way,
We must also be aware that in the past few months there have been only a few quality bounty projects and even that is not easy to find,
let's see will like the future of the bounty project

Bounties nowadays are have a good percent of being legit compared on the last  3-4 years which we all know that there's a lot of scamers that after getting a lot of money from the investors they will disappear also now there's a scammers but not many as the past some of bounties are legit also manage by the trusted mangers here in forum so it's matter if the project runs by a trusted managers then it's a big  chance that projects is legit and not scam.

have something that is reliable:

-a good manager
-a bounty that has stablecoins or BTC/eth payments with a proven track record

mostly stable/btc payment was so hard to obtain, so you just now pick bounty with a good manager.

Sometimes campaign managers often don't use escrow to run bounty campaigns so fraudulent projects often occur and in the end, many become victims of the campaign, at least the current campaign must use escrow so that all bounty hunters trust the project managed by the campaign manager  , because this has disappointed many hunters too often, a system such as escrow has been re-established, in order to improve public confidence in the bounty project.

we can follow the biggest and Trusted managers bounty campaign it seems good bounty campaign because they will not want to loss there reputation for a scam project. and the escrowed tagged campaign is also can be a good bounty. This greatly increases the chances of getting payment after bounty campaign ended

It's really very hard to know about the best bounties but if you do some research about their project and team members then we can know how much potential the project is. Those bounties are good which have a big community and great project roadmap.

Bountie used to pay 500K back in the days! Now its only paying 10K... Its difficult to find a Bounty the really pays nowadays!

Maybe the NFTs got the bounty back... Im in a NFT boutny that is paying 100ETH... seems legit!!

Maybe they mint all the NFTs and Pay, but it depends on the quality of the bounty hunter on the campaign...

The new era for Bounty is going to be NFTs for sure!!

Can't expected higher reward when bounty distributing use altcoin and I think stable coins and BTC payment is the best bounties campaign reward nowadays, except have trusted and experience with bounty manager campaign right now not easy to find with good bounties campaign for running. Many participants glad joining with bounty campaign by using btc or service signature bounty campaign than altcoin bounties with not exact date reward distribution.

Usually with stable/btc payment ability for signature bounties service only and not include for social media bounties campaign or content creator bounties. Almost less interested when opening with altcoin bounties for joining because many time project promoting just take care with collected investor money only and never have good road map how to develop with coins project at the future.

Yes, participating in a bounty campaign that is managed by a manager who has good trust is sometimes very likely for us to actually get a reward when the bounty event has ended, but the problem is that nowadays we rarely encounter bounty campaigns with large allocations because nowadays many project developers are no longer willing to pay high-paid bounty followers.

Well i don't know if this has been answered here but i would tell you always go for the bounty's that are escrowed by the managers or else you turned out working without payment and even if you got paid it may worth nothing than a fractions of dollars so, participating in bounty's is very risky all like 50/50 game, you might got paid or it worths nothing at the ends of the campaign.
The bounty's that can pay are those already listed in the market and as well being escrowed with the manager.

Yes, that's currently the problem and in fact, there are currently only a few bounty campaigns that are really promising,
it is not easy to find a bounty campaign with a large allocation,
hope the bounty campaign can be like before

Participate in escrowed campaigns, or you can also join campaigns managed by a reputation manager. This guarantees you will receive a reward after completing the work, but it also does not guarantee you will be profitable afterwards. Nowadays we all know 99% of bounty projects are junk so getting the rewards and the rewards are worth it or not, is another story. In general participating in today's bounty campaign is a matter of chance, there is no guarantee of profit. Many projects are not listed on the exchange or many tokens are illiquid after being listed.

in order to know the good bounty in my opinion by seeing who the bounty manager is, there are several bounty managers that I think are very good,
that is Julerz, BountyDetective, Murat, Brainbross and FoxChampaign, yes they are very good bounty managers in choosing projects, the scam presentation is very low ,
it can be said that 80% succeed and they pay.

This is the fact. Now many bounties are full of shits and they give nothing to your hard work. But some are buonty managers who choose the right bounty and give a good opportunity. And many of their projects get success. You should find them.

And there are some buonty managers who give payment in BUSD or in USDT so you can join them if they have the reservation of the funds.

It is not a very simple task. Because when a new campaign comes, it cannot be judged whether it is good or bad. Only those who develop it know best what the status of that project might be. But in order to understand good bounties a hunter can infer whether they are good or bad by finding several things. Currently, there are various audit companies that evaluate cryptos and issue certificates. Again, many people depend on users and interactivity in social media of new projects. There are many who are new and select projects by looking at good BM. But it is totally depend on your own strategy.

If team will pay in tokens then i think also escrow isn’t a guaranteed payment because that token can be worthless when it will list on the exchanges. You will get payment but worthless. Yeah, bounty manager is much important to participate in the bounty campaign, at least a reputed managers will go to enough research before to manage a campaign.

What scenario would you like to implement if some projects fail to pay participants. We must first find out what makes the project fail to pay the bounty participants. I think there are many problems that cause failure to get paid for participants. One of them is that the project manager does not hand over the wages of the bounty participants to the bounty manager. So the bounty manager cannot pay participants. The second problem is that the bounty manager takes the participant's wages. And the third is the bounty manager delaying payments to participants even though the project manager has handed over the coins to the bounty manager. I think sometimes we should look at projects that have escrow, so that our payments are clear, as this concept is applied to bounty services.

It Isn't easy to judge a brand new altcoin bounty. It may have greatest roadmap and escrowed by DT manager, but that doesn’t guarantee, that altcoin will good for bounty reward. Although some steps can be followed to find out altcoin for bounty. As like: check out a project which should have real use as well as decent community support. community that always keep following the roadmap step, developers suggestions and post daily update on their social platform

atleast if its payment escrowed , as bounty hunter we are guaranteed will received our token payment no matter about its value. analizing new crypto projects was so difficult , beside internal factors it also influenced by external factors that is market condition. utility and progress on developtment product also be main focus on  investors sight

Seeing the current bounty conditions, of course, we must realize that big paid will be difficult for us to get, many projects that set softcaps less than $ 500k so that the payment we get is very small, I think many bounty in this forum is quite good, especially those who have high ranking forums or big social media followers.

Yes it's true that this is one of the easiest way to find a good bounty by seeing reputable manager, but even then now the campaigns of well-reputable managers are also getting scammed that's don't fully rely on those bounties make some own research and then start work . And if I talk about the crowdness of bounties then now it's not looks good from if you talk about the moment of few years ago then you will saw those days was awesome for bounties.

It is true and important indeed to choose a project that is managed by a popular and reputable manager,
everyone has their own point of view regarding the current state of the bounty,
what is clear to me that the current bounty condition is a little different from the pay that is not as big as it used to be

If you think that all people today have become lazy, you are absolutely wrong. It's just pretty hard to exercise every day without seeing any results for months. So WeSleep instant crypto rewards for completing simple tasks will definitely improve the situation.

Usually, this kind of project is already listed on the stock exchange, so it will attract investors to invest. They play the price in the exchange with high prices, but when the distribution begins, the price of the coin will immediately drop like a waterfall.

The truth is that there is no fool-proof bounty campaign. No matter the project or bounty manager. Even a well known project can decide not to pay and nothing would happen. Like the case of DigitalBits or Student Coin. Or a well known manager can decide to make away with escrowed bounty tokens. But whatever way, a functional social media and team sets up a project as a good bounty material

Have seen many bounty campaigns and worked on campaigns but some campaigns have not been paid.After many successful campaigns they never paid. Such incidents have happened many times in life and only those who give bounty are the proper evidence and everyone knows it.But there are many campaigns in the forum who create nonsense website accounts themselves and you should avoid such campaigns.And always aim for a good manager.

98% of them are shit
2% are legit and paying.

This is the main reason on why i had quit up on doing bounty hunting due to this very reason.They arent paying and the worst,some of them do ask out for some ID
before you could really get your bounty rewards which is totally shit.

Deal only on things or bounties that do only requires some tasks for you to be eligible on getting the payment but of course
this one wont guarantee out that you would be making money as these tokens arent ensured on getting value or getting
listed on exchanges.

Bounty conditions are currently in the hardest position, some of the bounty that I follow only pay small, maybe the same as the income of faucets or PTC a few years ago, but this can be understood because of the difficulty for Raise Money from a new project.

Huge amounts of money are being made through cryptocurrency scams. At the same time, those who are working in the bounty program are also facing huge losses. They are not getting paid after working. Sometimes their personal information is stolen from them by the name of KYC. Hunters should not participate on all projects. Working on a selected few projects have the possibility to get payment and other wise it just consider wastage of their time.

So true even this days, most of bounty manager using escrowed but most of those are scam project. So those project agrees for escrows cause they know they are scam. Escrows is good but gathering so many shitcoin in your wallet Isn't fair. Op is looking about "to find good bounty" not shitcoins. Yes new crypto projects are difficult this days but team, communuty, developer works and such proper analysis & experice can help to hit the good one.

We have seen many bounty escrow lists but from many more from scam projects, so even though escrow is not a guarantee the project is not in the scam list but precisely because they are from scam projects they convince the bounty manager and participants by agreeing to the escrow service to the bounty manager. But if there is a good project and the escrow payment it will be very awesome because the payment will be transferred by the bounty manager after the campaign finish.

There are some indications to good bounties and bounty outcomes. One of them is the social media presence of the project in question. Some projects have social media outlets thus their health can be gauged to an extent. Another factor is the bounty manager. Getting a newbie bounty manager is a poor indicator of the outcome, since hunters wouldn't touch it. All in all, DYOR
