Why are bounty hunters guilty?

[smith136]

Who said bounty hunters are guilty? Bounty hunters are not lowering any rate at all, if anything, they are generating additional exposure for the ICO so that ICOs are likelier to succeed. Besides, if giving out bounties were not profitable, ICOs wouldn't be offering them in the first place.

I think what OP was alluding to was the fact that bounty hunters feel like they are under constant prosecution here at the forums. Whether that be from big ranking members who hate the thought of bounty or whether that be from ICOs calling for KYC on some projects. It just seems that this aspect of the forum isn't wanted, which is weird because they offer it. Kind of a catch 22 you can't win whatever side you are on.

agreed, some of the devs/admin of a channel in telegram even saying these are free coins, i don't understand why do they have to belittle what bounty hunters have done or contributed to their project yet in the first place they are the one decided to accept this kind of advertisement system. Mostly of investors do not know what the value of labor service and it's weird they've invested on ICO and then they want profits right after the coin gets listed in exchange.

Why do they say that bounty hunters have lowered the rate, and investors can not even return the money they invested? I think that if the project is honest, this situation is unacceptable, since hunters get a percentage from ICO, and the project team must redeem their token or coin!

No, bounty hunters are not guilty, we're the one who helping them to endorsed the project through social networking sites. We're the one who helping them, by helping them, we are rewarded with the small amount where the project profits. We only get 1 to 3 % from the profit. Even we don't use our cash, buy we support the project by our efforts. Efforts that the project will be broadcast and known by others.

Usually sometimes the bounty hunters can cause a drop in price as a result of dumping of a token/coin but that depends on the overall prospects of the coin.If it has good prospects people will be happier to hold rather than dump.

Well this is true, but don't happen too often. Usually when the bounty campaign is over and tokens are paid and listed on the exchanges. Then most of bounty hunters are selling their coins and the price drops.

There really aren't any problems with bounty hunting as long as they're not spamming like a dweeb, which is what most of the signature spammers are doing. They barely read the title of a thread and then drop off some incoherent nonsense that is vaguely related to it instead of having actually discussions like you know, the thing that a forum is meant to be used for.

If you are a Spam bounty hunter that does not contribute to this forum. then you are guilty. This is the reason why theymos implemented merit system. to lessen the Spam reply and topics flooding in bitcointalk.

This is also the main reason why ICO campaign rewards are getting low. thanks for the implementation of merit system. the trust for quality, constructive bounty hunters are now going up.

Is merit actually being considered in bounty campaigns now? On top of activity level that is.

I think that since opportunities for hunting bounties rewards exist so it shows that developers of the project doesn’t aware enough about the system they created. It is better to avoid such projects I suppose.

I think OP meant something different. Just did not correctly formulate the question. Most likely was too emotional. Sometimes emotions do not allow to concentrate.

So, as far as I understand, it's about having ICO and there is a bounty. Bounty members work and spend their time. As a result, the project does not gain even a minimum amount on sales. All money is returned to investors. But the bounty hunters remain with nothing. Get just zero.

The second situation. ICO successfully, collected a lot of money. But suddenly after the bounty company is over, the bounty rules change. Now all the members of the bounty need to confirm their identity. But the problem is that many countries have a ban. As a consequence, such bounty hunters worked for free.

Is this honest? No, it's not fair! Will this change? No, it will not. Project developers and bounty managers do what they want.

Bountyhunters does not usually give such a large percentage of us to seriously influence the price. In addition, many hold a part of the tokens, sometimes everything. The price after the end of the ICO often bring down large investors to repurchase.

Actually the word guilty is only use for the person who made a bad thing or making any unlawful actions, but as long as we are pairly balance between crypto business and workers we don't need to use any words of accusation like guilty.

At first look, I couldn't get what OP was trying to say and after reading some of the posts I guess many people accuse bounty participants to degenerate the value of the project.Having a bounty or not is a decision of the project owners and I don't think it is wrong to be part of it.

We have normal bounty haunters (that holding their tokens for a little time) and we have newbie bounty hunters (that selling their tokens just after distribution and it's affecting the price, they are actually guilty). You need to understad which one are you.

[IlfarIldarovich]

I do not agree with the opinion that the hunters are to blame . Usually 2-4 % is allocated to bounty rewards . And I think it does not really affect the price

[breeze170]

I think bounty hunters aren't problematic unless they scam the projects. I see it as a way to promote and support your favourite project. But some people use weird methods like spamming altcoin forums, posting weird links, trying to scam bounty projects by doing double entries to different addresses so on.

[yunuzov]

Actually most of the time it’s investors who blame the bounty hunters. I can understand them they think bounty hunters get the coins for free which they paid money for but this is not a correct way of thinking. Bounty hunters spend time and they play a very important role in the advertisement of the project.

[friday99]

actually to say guilty it is a less precise sentence to be expressed. because I think the bounty hunters sell it by not putting up another thing because they only get out of their job and it's natural whether they want to sell or hold it it's their own right either at a price down or a high price.

[thepo1m]

I think this is just a perception, this always occur when the price of a token dump immediately after launch on exchange, but I have seen several ICO without bounty campaigns dumped after their list on exchanges

It's bullshit.
Participants of the bounty make advertising for the project and they are useful. Even if they sell their tokens - they have the right to do so. Although I do not do this if I believe in a project

[voshue]

It is not real bounty hunters like me . Because many of them hodling coins because they got them without payment , i am thinking like that .

[jan.nicolas]

I have one question, why do you think that we are guilty? I do not consider myself guilty of anything, I do a good deed, I inform people about the information, for this matter I get a small reward, so I'm not guilty, the decision is made by the person himself, nobody here imposes anything on him
