For those bounty hunters who can hardly relate

[coinsycrip09]

I have experienced loads of such experiences and it has even upgraded
Now, bounty rewards are slashed often; and payments delayed and not paid at all

Researching before participation is not enough at this time

we have the same experience.
indeed it is very difficult to find a good bounty, although i have tried to research it before participating but still i found several similar projects.

you say the right thing, researching before participating won't be enough. it seems we need a lot of luck to get a very good project with good results too.

I think most of bounty hunters experience this situation at some point. I am victim of such situation as well. Bounty hunters are taken for granted by some crypto projects, which is too bad. Locking up bounty tokens and not distributing tokens in time is not a good practice.

[Chemcrier]

We have all gone thru this phase in one time or another in our careers, it can be very frustrating especially when you have spent months working on that campaign, the most painful part of it all is if you missed a juicy bounty campaign because you weren't allowed to remove the signatures of that campaign so you wouldn't lose your earned stakes.

[old fart]

I can relate buddy, just happened to me recently, and I don't want to call names. I just had to encourage myself and move on. Bounty hunting is stressful and risky but we just have to do it, cos we might be lucky.

[TheICE007]

You went straight to the point. Exactly the way it goes when it is time for reward, several stories come up and at the end ,the effort of the bounty hunter would be gone just like that. Imagine without distributing to bounty hunters and price of token still went down, how then do they say Hunters are responsible for price fall.

[valuater]

I often experience after how long I wait, boom I only get shitcoin and maybe only worth tens of dollars from the estimated price of ico / ieo which should be able to get hundreds or even thousands of dollars and already used to it now I'm waiting next month to receive next shittoken.

[Torps1]

You're certainly not alone, I have been there before and can describe my experience as even worse than yours because my lockup period was one year and after all the wait, the team just disappeared without a word.

Karma will catch up with them one day.

To all crypto bounty hunters who can hardly relate:

Situation: ICO started their main sale and will last 2 months and offers bounty program. ICO price was $0.5.
Bounty Hunter: I will join their signature campaign! Let’s do this!

After 1 month....

Admin: We decided to pause the campaign because our legal advisor suggests for our product to be fully compliant with the country’s regulations.
Bounty Hunter: (facepalm)

After 1 month....

Admin: Good news bounty hunters! We will now resume our bounty campaign. Since ICO was extended for a month, the same goes to our bounty campaign. Happy bounty hunting!
Bounty Hunter: Yippee!!!

After 1 month (one day before the ICO ends)....

Admin edits the ICO countdown timer and replied: Due to overwhelming demand, we decided to extend the ICO to another 2 months!
Bounty Hunter: Whaaaaat??? (But decides to continue the signature campaign).

After 2 months....

Admin: Congrats bounty hunters! Our ICO is successful! Here’s the final spreadsheet!
Bounty hunter looks at the spreadsheet and replied: 1,000 stakes for me! Yippee! I’m excited for my tokens to be distributed.
Admin: Good for you! We will distribute the tokens within 2 weeks!
Bounty Hunter: All right! My hardwork finally pays off in 2 weeks! Can’t wait!

After 2 weeks....

Admin: I received an advise from our legal advisor that bounty hunters must complete KYC process. Since we have an influx of bounty hunters, approving your KYC might take days to weeks.
Bounty Hunter: (sigh) Oh well, it’s better than nothing. I’ll just do it anyway. (Logs in to site and submits KYC verification).

After 3 weeks....

Bounty Hunter receives an email that his KYC was approved and was excited, however.....
Admin: We would like to congratulate those bounty hunters who have passed their KYC. Unfortunately, we had a meeting with the development team. It has come to a conclusion that our team voted for bounty hunter tokens to be locked and will be distributed after 6 months to avoid massive dumping in the exchange.
Bounty Hunter: Admin I HATE YOU!!!!

After 6 months....

Admin: Bounty hunter tokens are now unlocked. You can now transfer your tokens from the dashboard to your ETH wallet. Thank you!

Bounty hunter transfers his tokens to his ETH wallet. After successfully transferred, he goes to Etherdelta exchange where he can trade his token to BTC or ETH. Unfortunately, the token’s buying orders are empty. Only selling orders appear with the lowest bid at $0.001 per token.  

Bounty hunter: F*** you admin!!!!! My efforts are wasted coz’ they’re worth shitcoins!!!!
Admin: (blocks bounty hunter from Telegram channel).

Trust me guys, I’ve been here before. Are you too? 😂🤣😅

I think all of it was you're experienced as a bounty hunter. Well, your not alone mate we are many here . The style of the project most of the time are just the same in terms of their alibi. That's style of the admin or team of the project it showed and obviously they don't want to pay bounty hunters, it is their tactics or way to annoy bounty participants to give up in the end were the allocation will goes to their pocket anyway. And that is totally bullshit...

LOL. A sad reality. Many bounty hunters have been there and it wasn't a funny experience especially for those bounty campaigns that lasts for three months. It was so bad in 2018 that I personally decided that I won't join any project too early again to reduce the risk of shock and disappointment I might feel if the project fails

[xOdiumNostrumx]

Yes, this is indeed a common modus operandi of more and more projects. But I kinda understand them as bounty hunters tend to have quite a negative impact on the price action after listing of the token, but projects should take this into account from the beginning and be transparent about it from the start.

[AlaEhBTC]

This is the risk of joining any bounty, that is why before joining I will not expect a lot first because it hurts a lot when you get nothing in the end. Last year out of 20 bounties that I have joined only 2 gave rewards and some of them just dissapeared or abolished their project.

Yes, now bounty hunters are simply defenseless in legal terms. This activity is in urgent need of streamlining and regulation. It is necessary to establish an elementary order with a clear establishment of the rights and obligations of the parties. I think it will be soon. States are already very close in regulating ICOs, since very large funds are involved in it, and thefts and frauds reach astronomical amounts.

[masterrex]

Thats awesome! i can relate much these was happening exactly in reality and i was experience it in my bounty hunting quest! Thats why today im choosing the best project to promote not in quantity but in quality because nowadays the bounty hunting has a huge difference than before so choose wisely.

[gurunanakji777]

It happens with all of us. Its very pity when such things happen with the bounty hunters even in some bounties admin doesn't allow to leave the signature campaign in the mid if you leave it before finishing the campaign your stakes will be zero. When campaign keeps extending we should understand things are not really good. At present, I hardly join new bounties because all the projects I am doing keep extending their projects and I see investors are also not taking much interest in ICOs. We should be more smarter while joining the projects to avoid being scammed.

The ongoing bounty campaigns barely pay in the ETH and major bounty campaigns promise to pay the exact reward in tokens after the end of the ICO. Investors also don't want to consume their time with the useless project which there is no proper project management by the team. The similar situations become common for the crypto investors and bounty hunters.

Let's compare the bounty campaigns of the former years and currently open brand-new project's bounty campaigns. The innocent difference can be noticed with the simple research, the previous bounty hunters were not as emotional as today's bounty hunters but the bounty allocations were profitable during the old campaigns. The prolonged payments sent late, bounty hunters don't want to respect the bounty terms and conditions for the before-mentioned reasons.  

[gerryhartell]

Such a bitter truth are those all lines! I can relate me with all those incidents! Project managers are not respecting bounty hunters! Sometimes I feel we should do something against them. As you posted this and hunters are replying so we need to do something together to change these scamming rules!

[voltesbit777]

I felt that way after you saw your total stakes or your total tokens and you estimated that you could suddenly find that many project teams would say that they would be inconsistent with what they were saying until they were upset that they didn't want to say anything. to the bounty participants we have no interest in paying you back because we got what we wanted, we have no use. Those feelings are going to blow you away. After the hardships you have given your KYC(know your customer) you have not been paid for your efforts.

[jerrison]

this is an exact case of what has been happening to the bounty hunters and it has also been the corresponding atitude of the admin or the campaign manager and they cannot deny it. well, we look forward, towards a better bounty hunting when we will have nothing like that coming up again.

[Redemption59]

This is an undeniable fact and only if you have gone through this process will you understand it better and relate well. Its really annoying and time wasting for a project to be taking bounty hunters through this hell and consider hunters as some cheap folks who have nothing to do, I have been there before and I can relate positively.

I've participated in 2 projects with a similar format but compare to what you've posted these two projects are still on it, they still did not bid us goodbye and locking their channel, they are just waiting for the right time to do so, they are waiting for the next market to dump their coin, because they have a hard time listing their coins, they are not getting enough support, and they do not want to use their funds to list on other exchange
