Lately I've been wondering why Bounty Payments are delayed by almost 6 months and i think this is the new norms of today's "Bounty Payment" time frame Unlike previous year's that after the ICO has finish it takes almost a Maximum of 2-3 weeks and then Bounty Hunters was paid already but today its getting more complicated! Drop your opinion pleased?
Maybe that's because the team is afraid of dumping by "Weak Hands" Bounty Hunters but is it rightfully acceptable?? just remember that not all Bounty Participants are dumpers and the number of tokens paid to the bounty people is just a small fraction of the circulating supply and how could that be affecting as a whole. lets say it will affect in short term but it wont last long because the Bounty people is just limited token supply while the Investors and the team has lots of them.

This can be the real reason why ICO projects deliberately delay paying bounty hunters of their share of tokens or coins...they are afraid that once the tokens are paid then bounty hunters will immediately sell them in exchanges thereby influencing the value of the asset downward -- and in fact this is the scenario with many ICO projects. However, in my view, even if all bounty hunters will be dumping their share if the project has a good demand and is really good then ultimately the market will be recognizing its worth. In my view, though the concern can be legitimate, we should also recognize the fact that hunters have the right to do whatever they want with their owned assets. Otherwise, if this can be the case, the best thing to do is to announced it right from the start that the release will be done months way from the end of the ICO so there will be no surprises and no complaints. I am suggesting a schedule slow way of release then...
