Somehow tired of bounty/airdrop (share your story on this thread)

[joseyphil82]

There is no such thing as quick money in crypto ,many new investors and bounty hunter was carried away by 2017 profits so they though it will always be the same every single year,well this is for you , you guys entered crypto at the good time and the good time has passed so the other side is around now and you guys lost your endurance ,let's all make cryptocurrency survive ,not make money out of it and stop using it,usability is what will keep crypto alive

I got tired on bounty campaign coming from ICO that is the reason I shift to Bitcoin casino campaign, it's not worth doing a campaign at this point of time, one of the campaigns I've done I only managed to earn $5 after 3 months of a campaign I think majority of the bounty hunters has this issue also.

Yes, it is not worth it for us to participate in the bounty during this period. We will waste a lot of time and will not get anything from bounty. The most recent campaign I participated in was at the end of August 2018 and until now I still haven't received a token from that project

Well for bounties mostly you're get tokens from icos and it's very seldom that these tokens have high value after their release. And sometimes the ico dies before getting into an exchange. It's a gamble unless the bounty includes certain amounts of btc or eth along with the tokens.

I've got an interesting answer right here, somebody said that I didn't payed enough time on research so from this moment I will evaluate every aspect of new projects(team, project, funding etc).I'm still looking to hear any actual stories about the bounties you participated/any new bounty opportunity or anything that will help me to check projects with more attention.Thank you everyone!

[MikeyVeez]

I am not tired about doing bounty campaigns but I am tired what happened to all promising projects that I have promoted. No news, no development, is that really true that 90% ICOs are scams? I do not want to believe it.

As the title implies I am somehow tired of bounties after only 2 years in this "world" : I've been a bounty hunter,(100+ projects), I did more than 700+ airdrops, I've been a translator, content writer..you name it. .When I started everything was working so well(I have to mention that I started doing it with 6 months before the last bull market) and I could get some nice amount of money at the time, I remember that I wanted to do it for my entire life because everyday I learned something new and make a little profit from it.I'm tired because nowadays there are so many scam projects(maybe 90% of them), some fail(maybe 5%) because everyone knows that is very hard to raise money in the bear market and only 5% have a real use, a good team and good project overall and they usually are not doing a bounty.My question for all of you is: Should I continue to look for bounties anymore? (Share your story, feelings, bounty campaign that is worth working for here. )

700 airdrops and 100 bounties are huge amount!
However you still here and try to promote a project.
Unfortunatelly you right. At the moment the most bounties\airdrops is scam. But bear market will not be forever and great times will become

I am really disappointed after working for bounty campaigns I was rewarded with bulk tokens but the value of the token was just 15 to 20 dollars now which is really sad to see. After all hardworking it failed to prove its best as the crypto value is very cheap is the major cause for the downfall.

[Eugenar]

It seems many people already tired in participating in bounty and airdrop campaign. If there is a good market I think many bounty participants will keep on participating bounty campaign. Sometime I get tired in posting but I have goal in this year where I need to earn 10 eth so I will not get tired anymore and I will choose good campaign where I can earn huge amount of money.

[danherbias07]

Sure is tiring but you have just to look for something that intrigues you.
Something that you will support even if they have already paid you and the exchange is enough for the amount of work that you have done.
Then, that's it.
You will go back to the way you are from the first time you made profit out of it.
It aint about bounty payments anymore.
More of like supporting them will enhance the capability of your supported project to go way far than what you just expect.

I am glad I was focus on airdrop and bounty last year and didn’t use my spare time focus on trading, because I could lose all my money without good knowledge with trading. I didn’t make big profit with bounty, but I also didn’t lose money either. It is hard to find a good project and I did waste a lot of time last year with bounties tasks, that why I don’t want to join too many bounties this year, I would do more research before I select a bounty.

[zhekinsp]

Bounty either can make huge profits for you or it won't give any rewards, only people who are doing multiple bounties can survive here and now bounties totally becomes shit but in 2017 I have a friend who nearly made half a million of dollars by doing multiple bounties throughout that year.

You are right from many points of view, I promoted many projects that promised a lot of good things in crypto market, take for example CargoCoin, they had a really nice hype around then in the ico period, many partnerships etc, now after the ico their ceo is online only when he shows us new "listing" (very very bad exchanges with super low volume), they didn't have a community manager like they use to have in ico period, total fail, this can be seen in many and many projects, they only care about the funds they raise then fly away with the money. Btw, even the project you are promoting seem to be a scam, references here: https://shitcoinoffering.com/african-kids-aks-663-million-bucks-scam-sto-bolton-coin/?utm_source=Reddit&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=STO

I have similar feelings but personally i will not quit but i will try to promote only legit and quality projects according to my analysis atleast, to be honest the bounty market has been the worst in last one year i can tell you that if i had participated in 20 campaigns then i have received reward in 4 to 5 campaigns only and that too after working for 3 to 6 months for each camoaign and the reward received too was either worthless or very small value so yes i know how you are feeling but i guess this can change anytime as crypto market is soon going to recover and then become unstoppable.

[rosezionjohn]

I stopped doing airdrops fro ICOs but I still participate in airdrops done on crypto exchanges.
I've cut down on bounties as well. I ditched social media campaigns and only focused on signature campaigns on various forums.

It is up to you if you wish to continue, if you feel exhausted then you might as well take a few weeks break. You may also want to enhance your trading knowledge during your airdrop/bounty break.

-snip- I have a friend who nearly made half a million of dollars by doing multiple bounties throughout that year.

Nearly made..., meaning he did or almost did?  
Sorry for being fussy but I simply cant believe these stories, moreover during 2017. Worst year ever.
OP is the best example, seven hundred projects and only few proved to be something useful, only this small percentage was profitable for him and think how much time it took. Most likely it wasn't worth the trouble, quite significant portion of his life wasted on stupid, spammy telegram groups, chats etc. I have very similar experience, only my sample group is much smaller.
Some hope was put in to KYC, it was believed that it can change something, that dumpers will become less likely to "infest" bounty groups, it obviously failed and nothing has changed. Probably never will but I truly want to be wrong.

[Kimi80]

I don`t have much experience in bounty campaigns. I was part of only one, few months ago, and it didn`t work well. The project was unsuccessful, we didn`t get any reward.
I know that my very close friend had some success participating some bounties but that was year ago.
Since this is my second bounty campaign, I really hope that it will be successful. The project behind it looks great. Maybe it is bit stupid, talking about my campaign but it is a stable coin project, backed and supported by Swiss Franc. That makes me pretty comfortable, I think that it will work just fine. For us, bounty participants and for the project itself.

[Evushko]

As this is all familiar, and I am very sorry that everything is happening this way! And there is nothing to advise! Everyone decides for himself what exactly he should do next!

[flyingcat]

I know it's hard to earn large amount of money from bounty campaign at the moment but it doesn't mean impossible. You have to spend more time as usual to find out good bounty to join while in bullrun market at the end of 2017, you guys just need to pick a random bounty then you guys still could earn a lot from it. But it's not the same at the moment, spend more time and be patient
