Bounty campaign is becoming absolutely useless.

[vango777]

I have been following your discussion in order to help me with a bounty program I am preparing to launch. I would like to know your opinion about how you would structure the ideal bounty program? Would the bounty manager be a part of the integral project team with little bounty experience or a legendary bounty manager? Would you focus more on Telegram / Reddit or Bitcointalk signatures? Limiting the number of participants and seniority has its advantages but what else would you recommend?

thank you in advance for your feedback.

You said that coin is being traded on the exchanges in which exchange the coin is traded can you share the details with the community? I don't find anything new in this project because why should community show interest towards your project already there are many lottery websites where they are happily making with those websites and why should they concentrate on your project?

Can we stay on topic please? Its not if we havent had too much shit posting here already.

But yeah, to answer OP, yes bounty campaigns are becoming shit because more and more shit project are turning up. People are joining shit campaigns in hopes that those shitcoins would suddenly spike in value someday and they'd dump their coins.
People need to understand, its not 2017 anymore.

There are good potential projects even though this is not 2017. We need to give attention to value the ICO whether is worthy to participate or for investing to make money. Many new IEO launchpad is been emerging everyday.
That will captalize the complete crypto market. I am not sure whether the ICO have the market or it will be erased completely.

One of my friends launched a project and of course the bounty campaign was started too. After checking statistic via google analytics I found out that traffic coming from  Twitter + Instagram + Facebook = less than 3 % of total traffic.. I decided to try scammers method myself. Here is what I did.

1. Bought Twitter account with 2 000 followers for $ 10 (https://accsmarket.com/en/catalog/twitter/boosted) I was sure that twitter Audit will be less than 50% because followers are mainly bots. But twitter audit showed 87% and that was more than enough to enter any bounty campaign here on bitcointalk.

2. Same thing with Instagram. Account with 5 000 followers for  $10

3. Same with Facebook account.

4. Bought BTK account (member) for $50 (A lot of Russian scammers are selling accounts in the Russian board called "Baraholka" ) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=236.0 Prices are starting from $10 for Jr account and $800 for Legendary.


Do not buy accounts from the sources that I mentioned, because it is illegal.

As you can see, I could enter any bounty campaign, having all accounts mentioned above.

I'm sure that more than 50% of bounty participants are using the same scam scheme, for cheating. All this means, that a lot of  bounty campaign participants are advertising your project to bots... How is it possible that you have about 1000 participants in each bounty campaign.(about 3 000 in total) and you get less than 3% of the traffic to your project website ? And registered users are less than 0.5% I think it is much more better to allow only full members and above to participate in your campaign and even that will not guarantee you good results. Just 20-30 real account with real followers will do a much more better job.

i know this is old
but i tried to check it as well so I tried to go to the website you mentioned, it is offline?
i checked similar website,
htpps://woorke.com and https://buycheapaccounts.com

do you think its safe to buy accounts? i don't want to give my credit card details. sorry to ask you here , i can't pm yet, i registered just to ask you this. thank you

I've been preaching this ever since i started running my first bounty.
Social media bounty ,except for maybe increasing number of followers, is useless. Even the 15k+ twitter accounts have less than 10 people actually viewing what they posted.
That's why i always valued article and video campaigns more, where someone has to put a real effort, and not just farm followers on million of such sites

[pealr12]

For me bounty still worth it, it is only useless when you joined the wrong one,better to have a little knowledge on the campaign you are joining. As long as the campaign is legit and has a working product, does not matter if  you. wait for months for the reward, just have patience.

[nutildah]

You can say that but as long as the Chipmixer campaign exists , It is not true, You can get there by being good, no matter how many accounts come every day, no matter how many people buy or sell it , if you are good, getting some noticeable merits, you can be part of good bounties, you can be moderator, or even rent your signature, so stop blaming everything else but you and grow better.

Bruh. You didn't even read anything. First of all, the ChipMixer campaign isn't a bounty, that's a signature campaign. They are completely different things. Second of all, you are replying to a post written over a year and a half ago like it was just written yesterday. Things have changed quite a bit since then.

The OP made a great point initially which is that (back then) bounty hunters contribute very, very little to the overall success of an ICO. Anybody can cheaply fudge having a great-looking account and drive zero actual traffic to the ICO website.

And look at what you're doing... using a bought account to support the newest McAfee scam... People like you have absolutely no ethics and basically just take giant shits on the forum for the sake of raking in a few worthless tokens.

Get lost.

For this reason, I do not participate in social media campaigns. I also think that campaign managers need to raise the level of requirements to participate in such campaigns in order to avoid a huge number of useless participants.

[manfredmann]

It is not only becoming but it is already useless if a bounty hunter are looking for profit. Since there are too many bounty hunters in the forum these will result on not getting enough profit and aside from that there are many scam projects that has been introduce in the forum. I have already seen some users that are already stating about it but the forum does not wanting to change the way members are treating the forum as a place for scamming. Sad to say that this forum was created intended for cryptocurrency learning and not for scamming. How could they let this happen?

Anyway, I had seen some users already making a combat on this scam users and are already reporting them to the admin. Somehow the forum no is in the transition of eradicating or minimizing the scam activities by using other users that are willing to help in reporting them for the DT to tag them with red Trust.

[AthenaBanana]

I know its being useless and the rewards are getting smaller and smaller the other bounty I receive 2.49$ for a 12 week of work 😂 but I never stop believing in bounties maybe someday I will hit the jackpot

Even i never tried to join on social bounty because at the end you will only get little amount its because of the huge amount of participants who joined on social media bounties.

One of the reasons why people do end up on getting some peanuts due to lots of participants on a bounty campaign and they should at least
limit that out for bounty hunters numbers but we know that they do target out for maximum exposure thats why they dont really mind much
if people are complaining about participants limit.So we do need to deal with it and if you cant accept then youre free not to look back
in bounty hunting.Its indeed useless for most cases but there are still projects who can really give out some good profits but picking the
right project isnt really something easy that someone can choose in thats why research will really matter.

That is one good suggestion limiting the amount of participants to get better rewards. So that its worth joining on bounty campaigns.

[pallang]

Very little amount for social media campaign so don't buy Twitter Facebook anything account for participating bounty program. I have only one Facebook, Twitter and BTT account so it's enough for me. Really i am comfortable for using it with little amount from bounty.

I dont buy social media accounts its not worth it as reward for social media bounties is low and full of participants, and some of them are only bots.

[vlast01]

Yes bounty are still worth it, but not as much worth as the previous, imagine the huge decreased on every token allocated on each of every campaigns plus the risk of the project for being a scam.

better to have a little knowledge on the campaign you are joining.

I may say that little knowledge is not quite enough, On choosing campaign one should research thoroughly to ensure that your effort won't be wasted. If you really want to participate on a legit campaign, you should do a lot of research about the project as well as its ICO's

As long as the campaign is legit and has a working product, does not matter if  you. wait for months for the reward, just have patience.

Its really are good to taste the fruits of your own efforts.

Dont expect for that because they would stick out into their current set up which there would be no limitation when it comes to participant count and as quidat mentioned about maximum exposure which is indeed the truth.

They wont care if bounty hunters will earn much or less as long they do get their goal of advertising to the full extent.Finding good project is really indeed trying to search a needle on a haystack.

Projects become shit and only a few turns out to be good thats why some people do still make a shot and hoping for the best.

Bots are inevitable and a norm when it comes to twitter but its always been included into their marketing knowing that Twitter do had lots of users and also with Facebook too.

All things that in scope on making such marketing will really be included

I guess! i am very lucky man because i already received a good coin from bounty which is DIA and OKS. With here service provider i work few twitter bounty where there give me weekly btc rewards. I have a Twitter and Facebook account and i work in bounty so much enough for me.

me too, during this time of the outbreak I am grateful to get paid for BTC from the bounty signature campaign...
if anyone still says that bounties are useless then they are people who just want to make quick money without extra work. out there are still many bounties that pay, you must be brave enough to do more research before joining.

"brave enough"?
Either I don't understand something or you used the wrong words ...
I can't imagine joining any bounty campaign without checking the project (usually dev team, whitepaper, roadmap, but sometimes most important is working product). This usually takes a few minutes, because unfortunately most projects looks suspicious right away.
I think spending 2-3 hours thoroughly reviewing the project we want to promote is very little compared to the fact that we can waste a few weeks promoting a project with no perspective, or even worse if turns in to a scam.
