ICOs bounties suck...do not believe them

[Andrea23]

Bounty jobs are difficult. Both in the sense that they are time consuming and they might end up being a flop. So make sure you do your research well enough before choosing one. I agree a lot of them don't pay enough and there isn't much you can do about it. It's just a risk of the job.

[fulled]

I think solution for this problem is simple, you, as a video or article maker dont apply on the bounty program if they give their ico token/coin as a reward, just apply on the bounty with top coin as a reward, but i think this type of bounty is difficult to found

ICO review websites and offering airdrop for bounty hunters are causing many to waste time on stupid projects. You should realize that there are many ICOs in the market every day, of which 90% are fraudulent ICO projects and 7% are failed projects after completing the ICO.

[Mikcik]

I run a media company, and deal with a lot of ICOs. What I noticed was that all these ICOs want top-notch articles & videos about them but they insist on paying in their token or want it for free. They think they are doing a service by giving bounties. What they don't realize is that their token is useless most of the time. Most of the bounties done by ICOs are bad.

Like:

1) Write 500-1000 words article on us for 300 of my useless tokens (which won't be coming on an exchange and will be used only on our platfrom. And you won't get free service but 25% discount )
2) Or make a 5 min video for us and post it on your YouTube. You need to have 5000+ subscribers and praise us to get our useless tokens.

I am not making fun of any ICO, just pointing a fact out on how these tokens are just polluting the market.

If you are an ICO or running an ICO, please pay the right price in a currency that works (Eth, BTC, Euro etc). Your tokens are useless for agencies. They take out their time and resources to make a good campaign for you.

Secondly, if your ICO does not have money..it should be red flagged for a potential scam.

What are your thoughts? Are bounties good or bad?

I think your opinion is correct. The current market is going down badly and our bonus is too little. We need a higher salary to continue to work hard.
But BTC or ETH pay campaigns are much lower than their counterparts. This is detrimental to bounty hunters.

There are many rewarding bounty for participants. Although the market is down, I am very sad, but do not lament and seek. Also you say the bounty paid ETH and BTC is low, which is of course because of why people pay bounty participants with the money is more stable value than their token

[automail]

Bounty earnings helped me pay my bills since I started and I will always be thankful for that. I worked for bounties that doesn't pay and just moved on the next bounty until I got paid. That's just it. There is nothing we can do if they chose not to pay us or unable to pay us due to ICO being unsuccessful. There is an allocation on every bounty so if the reward is small for you, don't join them.

[pokxon]

I do not agree with your opinion. If you are a bounty hunter, you can only receive the token that you participate in the campaign. If you want to get ETH, btc, ... then you have to contact them before you start work. No one forces you to do it

[MDIPANJAN]

I think it matters , if you're participating in some bounties with lot of red flags then it's your fault.
Do some research on the project before doing their bounties that will save your time as well as will
give you some extra earnings.

[hani1929]

you cant tell all ico bounties are suck, well you can say that some of them are not good. That is why before joining in any bounties you need to do research first about their project because if yo dont your wasting your time in doing bountys especially in signature campaign it needs time to do their task in order to receive their tokens. You need also to check their white paper and their dev team and their background.

[cezariya]

Yes, most of them are scams. If you do 10 bounties, only 1-2 are genuine and finally pay at last.

[Temmy007]

Bounties is not for everyone. But it saddens that market is saturated with ico; it difficult to separate the good from the bad; and the current market just makes every coin look bad. Bring the good down with the bad

As long as those bounty hunters is accepting their specific token for their works/efforts, this system will continue until the end. Sounds like tradition in alternative coins section and Yes... so much project that pollutes the crypto market. I also had a lot of tokens that has no value and it's makes me realized that this is a bull shit thing. But still, this is better than doing nothing. Thankfully that there's a marketplace section here that pay btc only.

[valuater]

In my opinion, for now there is a lot of bad because sometimes if the bounty is finished and waiting for payment, sometimes some parties do annoying things to bounty participants, such as cutting large bounty allocations and sometimes there are also those who do not pay at all / only pay a few participants

[imagecrypto]

Some of us here already know everything and understand about it, you know. I feel the same way that most of them have dropped in value. Bounty is not for everyone, and it's entirely up to you if you want to participate or not. but sometimes it's true. Sometimes ICO sucks but not all the time. that's why many are harmed.

[FO4R]

a few of ICO's are not legitable but doesnt reflect to all bounty campaigns.Some people decides to participate to these bounties still believing to the legitibilty of these ICO's.Consider first the white paper and the development team as a legitability of each ICO bounty campaigns.

[andor.gellenhidi]

Recently, with the bounty it really happens that something very terrible, many projects do not pay anything to their bounty hunters and I think that all this may be due to the fact that people obviously can not take their tokens from the developers.

[NQkeemi]

You ought not sum up and aggregate all ICOs in a similar pot. As you are exceptionally mindful, advertising is the key for the scattering of the venture and it is a fundamental advance to embrace. Clearly there are heaps of phony and trick ICOs which won't compensate you are they should. What's more, you should battle them making terrible advertimsement. In a squint of an eye, you will be astounded about the change. The people group will simply take after the illustration.

[Qtigero]

We as a whole comprehend about that, you know. I felt a similar much too that the vast majority of them have gone down in esteem. The ethical exercise here is that never put the majority of your eggs in a solitary bin and keep your alternatives open. Bounties are not for everybody, and it is completely up to you on the off chance that you need to take part or not. I typically do abundance low maintenance while working all day as a PR advertiser of a crypto venture. Abundance isn't a substitution of your all day work. Treat it like a sponsor for your requirements and needs. Simply my two sats.

[Applechild]

We should respond with understanding. In the real sense, yes bounty is not forced on anyone but the truth is that participant should be handsomely rewarded for their support, energy and creativity. What is the point keeping all night and sitting all day long to write blogs, create video, tweets and share, endless numbers of post for weeks and at the end of the day you are paid 100 tokens which goes for $1.5/100 tokens. what can such amount do? I also noticed that good bounty managers dont give too many rules, they ensure articles are accepted and stakes given but some bounty without good foundation cluster us with endless rules and rejects any and all forms of work. there was a bounty i did and almost 3/4 of the participants work were rejected. I suspected that those they issued stakes to are part of their team. i have also done two or three that went half way and stopped. it is the participant that are at loss in such situation because there is no binding agreement to compensate hunters for wasted resources in the event of failure.

[early_adopter]

I believe that developers have the right to promote their bounties as they wish, and you are also in clear right to accept or reject it, I believe that I would accept the tokens if they are going to go out on some reliable exchange and with good volume, like crex24, kucoin, etc, something that I can sell if I need the money or if I am not very interested in the project, I also consider that the videos should not be as strict in the requirements, after all they are also new to the industry and we are all starting here.

[Yakapo]

Ico bounties suck, but not all of them. There are still a lot of them that are true, and keep to their promises. Sometimes even, you don't get your rewards, not because they are scam, but because you probably didn't complete the tasks that they asked you to do or you didn't do them as instructed. There are still a good number of ICO bounties that are amazing.
