Why I Don't Do Bounty Campaigns & Why You Shouldn't Either

[Ridwan Fauzi]

My income has fallen sharply compared with 2017, but still I still earn good money from bounty. Enough to make more efforts to select projects.

What project did you taken part since you made this account in 27 December 2017?

Scam project and reduction price were a part of the reason bounty hunters got a little profit or even didn't profit because the tokens they got were

worthless. And now I don't think project ICO or bounty campaign is a legit way to get token that have potential IMO.

[leea-1334]

All in all,,, a good example of why not to join a bounty.

First of all, people have terrible expectations about bounties. For them it is free money for doing cheap or easy work. For the project it is the other way around, free marketing, giving free tokens for people to shill their coin.

Think about it. Is the project really interesting to you? Are you also a user and not just a holder or speculator? Do you even understand the technology? If you are not sure about even 1 of the questions what is the point?

[jrrsparkles]

People have reasons to do bounties as well as not to do,so it really depends on every individual who give more preference to what.

When someone looking for money and for that they will give any effrot and if there is no payment of need to wait to long they don't care about,they will just keep promoting then bounties are really for those persons.

So a few months ago I did some bounty work for a company called Swachhcoin. Like many of you, I spent countless hours developing and creating posts that highlighted key features of the platform. Fast forward several months...they tell all of us bounty campaign participants that we will have to pass KYC to receive the NEW swachhcoin tokens (SWACHH). My previous Swachhcoin tokens (SCX) are now worth $0 and I will have to do KYC to get my new usable tokens. Also, they set a monthly limit of how many tokens we can sell. We will receive 10% each month to prevent dumping. I like this idea, but NONE of this was presented during the bounty campaign period. I also bought 2 ETH worth of tokens and they've delayed the project at least 2 times! To me, this is unprofessional, ridiculous, and outlandish. Sorry for the rant, but this is the exact reason I've been slowly putting my money into projects that I think have a future. I'm trying to stay away from the bad apples and put some leftover money aside into Bitcoin, Nauticus, Ethereum, EOS, and even XRP.

Oh sad to hear about your bad experience in joining SWACHH, in fact, I also encountered that things on the other bounty campaign. Where after the campaign we've waited 3 months before the distribution begun. Then, 10% each month about the payment which is very unjust actually and many complaint but their frustration can't do nothing.

I do bounty campaigns and airdrops cause its my only way to earn money, but the sad part is if the bounty campaign i joined in didnt pay or turned into scam, i want to give up doing bounties, but i realize patience is a virtue.

Most bounty campaigns are hit and miss now, it's not like the old days when almost all bounties would be rewarding. Now you are lucky to find one that doesn't scam you, extend the deadline 2 more months, and then offer you a worthless token!

Bounty work is for free work only but it depends on you if you are willing to hardwork on it or not to earn free tokens or not. But it depends on a rank to join bounty campaigns to earn huge tokens that they give on you.

It's easy to work on bounty and get token (shit token) but doesn't it worth your time? I think it requires a lot of your times to be wasted in case you don't get a penny. And most of the bounty projects give nothing nowadays.

There are many disappointing things that can really happen when you join in a bounty. We need to include the factor that not all of them are guaranteed to pay you. I would only recommend doing bounties on the services section because they pay weekly using btc but the bounties that pay you the token from ICO is like high risk/high reward ratio.

[jebul2]

for this year the prize program is very difficult and the ico program is mostly scam because it doesn't get a softcap, we have to be careful when doing work by looking for tokens or free coins because of all the many risks

Signature campaign that use BTC in reward actually can be alternative but they are really strict in rules. Maybe that is why a lot of people not always accepted in there. But if we're have quality on our post, we can be accepted in there.

Thank God, I stopped working for the swachcoin Bounty. I don't know how many times they brought bounty campaigns and kept extending. The project looked good, but the team and their work strategy were ridiculous! The crypto market is not good for the bounty hunters, they are working continuously but at the end, they are getting peanuts. Many people stopped working in bounties, and it is natural.  No one wants to spend their valuable time before nothing. The crypto market needs to be improved well to make good money from the bounties.

[superving]

I have horrible past with bounties and even with last, doing task almost everyday but it the end the project went to scam, the team members silently exit scam taking along the money they raised during the ico

Why do you still join on another scam token ICO then right now? Joined on their bounty for some months (up to 6 months), did all the work, but in the end you will only get paid less than 10 dollar or even nothing, it's just waste your time.

[lienfaye]

I also participated in swachhcoin social media campaign and experienced the same way too, up to now I didnt get profit from my tokens and its disappointing.

However thats really the nature if you join in bounty campaign, some may succeed and others are not thats why its important to participate only to projects that will likely to give us profit. It will happen if you've done your part by doing a research before deciding to participate because many scam projects are also existing nowadays.

First, I'm sorry about your bad experienced, the only things you could do now is accept what happened to you, and move on.
In fact, until there some project still implementing 10% each month and they have 1 reason for it to avoid dumping which is they are saying or blaming bounty hunters is the responsible for dumping were it is not right of thoughts. So if the bounty have that kind of rules, well I guess never join in it, just simple as that.

Rules can be altered anytime as they like so you wouldn't know if the initial rules is fixed or not until on the end.So its still a risky thing on putting all of your hardwork to waste.

There's no other thing you can do but to move on and better luck next time on finding a good project to join on this is why researching is crucial when you are just searching up.

CryptoGenius10, Your cautionary tale brings you closer to becoming an actual Crypto Genius. "Unprofessional, ridiculous, and outlandish" is better than 100% criminal.

[Chaki #diarize]

As you know all bounty campaign and all new projects is risky, as for crypto investment is risky, all you have to do is a back up plan.
Join some Airdrop for free, or join a campaign wherein you don't need too much time to finished the task, like content creation campaign, as you can join as many as you can as long as your are qualified.

Don't just give up, everyone here has already experience worse than this...

[djselery]

It is sure that bounty hunting isn't as profitable as a few years ago, and that so many ICO projects are just either scams or giving away worthless tokens, but there is always good projects which have potential to succeed in the future, and participating in their bounties would be profitable surely.
To distingue these projects, you have to spend some time first in studying carefully the project (The whitepaper, the team, the product..)
