Concerning the future of bounty programs

[OluwaTosin10]

You are right
The nosedives in prices amongst other has caused a little downtrend and bounty programs are not entirely paying

People are quitting bounties daily just as people quit crypto currency
But I think bounty program will continue to exist as long as crypto currency is alive

[msbtrooper]

We can't totally exclude bounty from cryptocurrency and as a result of this, bounties will continue to exist so far cryptocurrencies are in existence. The only thing is that presently bounties doesn't pay like before

[Santri]

it's very true what you have said but it's indeed at risk that we become a bounty hunter, who is in fact getting a lot of income or not at all but we should not be pessimistic and we must patiently wait for market to grow again

[gurunanakji777]

I am disappointed because many of bounties I participated turned out to be scam/failed but I can say its not the project fault actually in the current bearish market its very hard for ICOs to attract the investors even investors are also afraid to invest in bearish market. Conditions are not favourable for ICOs and On the contrary when our all the efforts goes in vain that discourage us whether to continue the bounty work or not. But I am continuing my work in hope of sooner or later market will recover and that time my efforts will pay off.

[greenclub09]

i still think there will be a better chance for bounty hunters to get tokens when the market can recover in the future. because of the market is too much terrible, many ICOs have too postpone their project and some ICOs have already scammed investors money that is why investors are loosing trust in ICOs.

[confreslamp]

When the market will recover its value, we would see another wave of promising bounty programmes and ICO projects. We just need to be patient and to wait. But there are still some great bounties left, you just need to look better.

Well, in my opinion, the future of bounty depends on how the market goes in 2019, if the downturn continues then bounty hunting would be profitable at all. Last year, bounty hunters had very difficult times, many of them would leave bounty hunting in future.

half of the bounty hunters have already left this market. I notice that many people stop doing this. but for those who still believe in cryptocurrencies - this is a great opportunity

[serejandmyself]

The simple model of the bounty market is - ico lives - bounty lives, ico is dead - bounty is dead. We are at around dead position right now since July.

[cryptolidus]

We have to understand that we are at a bearish market which can last for year and this results to all the issues that you
mentioned in the thread. Now the ICOs and hunters in a surviving mode but better times will come again for all
when the market turns into bullish.

[masterfu678]

Bounty is now developing in the direction of improving the quality and provision of services not from private bounty hunters, and the so-called teams that show much better results.

[Spaffin]

I think that bounty campaigns will not exist in the form in which they were originally. In the future, the projects will connect rating agencies and will be the purchase of advertising on promoted sites.

No rating agencies and promoted sites will replace the existing system of promotion of ICO projects with the participation of bounty hunters. This type of advertising project ICO most effective. Of course, everything changes and the activity of the ICO is no exception. Perhaps something will change in the system of remuneration of persons engaged in the promotion of this type of activity. However, rating campaigns will not want to receive payment for their labor in new tokens, especially in large volumes. Therefore, ICO teams will need bounty hunters.

[adrianto1995]

Just thinking maybe in the future of bounty feels like doing a real-life job, you should pass some process to be eligible for joining bounty and amount of participant are limited. Of course, you will be rewarded with a high amount of money (but still in tokens)...

IMO

[kicauklaten]

investors ICO and also the bounty hunter should be able to be patient on the conditions that exist today. prices continue to fall forcing to inevitably must hold for better results than selling at very cheap prices at this time. and what has been said that all of this has become strong and just the risk in running it could get rewarding results.

[cola-jere]

Market downturn is probably one of the main reasons why ICO projects can't last long and joining their bounty program is useless and a time waster. Due to the fact that the market goes into nosedive, ICOs are forced to cash out some funds in order to survive. However, it is not enough which is why some of them decide to cancel their ICOs and return the funds of the investors. It means if you have promoted their ICO way back then as a bounty hunter, your time and effort was put to waste. You might be given tokens, but dormant and unusable.

Been there, done that. I have experienced a lot as a bounty hunter in which all of my hardwork (even some stakes are average to high, sometimes low) was put to waste because of their sudden cancellations, closure of their ICOs, and the worst part is that when we fall of those programs with fake team or so, they would run away with the investors' funds and our reputation would be affected due to promoting them on social media or so.

On top of that, most of their tokens are going downhill the day they started integrating themselves in centralised or decentralised exchanges. Even if they choose to lock it on a certain period of time, it's definitely no use because they're still affected by the dump in which everything is unregulated and uncontrolled.

The future of ICOs and bounty programs are at stake due to the market downturn, and it goes even deeper than that. It looks like it'll take years for us to see the bull run, or maybe no chance at all.

If you are participating in any ICOs or joining as bounty hunters, what do you think about this? Let me hear your opinion on this guys! Thank you. 

I feel the same. But I'm sure the market will eventually recover.  We just don't know when.
From my end, if a bounty does not pay, I ask directly the bounty manager or project team. If they don't pay up, I'll just move on to the next project.
That's just the way it is in an unregulated space that we are in.

[Summation]

The bounty hunter is not a real job. It is actually the same as the investment. The difference is that the investment you pay is money, and the bounty campaign is the time you pay. If we can measure how much time is worth, then you will find that the time value of your participation in the bounty far exceeds your return.

[voron83-05]

That's right, but the fact is that there are promising projects that are fully capable of developing in spite of a falling market, albeit with difficulty, but capable!

[hanxinvwang]

The simple model of the bounty market is - ico lives - bounty lives, ico is dead - bounty is dead. We are at around dead position right now since July.

I agree with you that since the second half of 2018, the bounty has almost been in a state of "waiting for death".
There are still a lot of bounty, but most of these rewards are not satisfactory. If you participate in 10 bounty, then only 2-3 items may be paid, and the worst is The token you get is simply not worth the money.

[kangkilokang]

That's right, but the fact is that there are promising projects that are fully capable of developing in spite of a falling market, albeit with difficulty, but capable!

and many are deceived, we have done work but have not paid anything yet, so we must be vigilant, often careful in participating in any project. indeed there are many who produce so that those who are lucky get good results. Reward programs can still be profitable and can stay alive, many of them take part in this program and some also participate in other prizes, if you succeed you are great.

[I Like Bitcoin]

I also do not see much point in participating in most bounty programs. But however, there are programs in which me just need to take part, as this will bring me a big profit.
