Can bounty hunting be considered a job??

[Nekoma2018]

So I was in a telegram chat .... and I saw quite a lot of hunters bashing at btcltcdiger (Bounty manager at csbounty) .... because he said bounty hunting isn't a job... on my opinion.. I think he's right.. Bounty hunting shouldn't be considered as a job.. because

1: payment isn't guaranteed
2: bounty hunting is more of luck than skill
3: it could turn out too be a total waste of time at any moment
4: I don't know what country most bounty hunters are from.. but where I'm from.. I can't survive a week with just $100 bounty reward..

So why would people consider this as a job?? Too me it's more of a hobby than a job

What's your thought on this?? PLS NO INSULTS

It would have been better if the bounty manager, who has a telegram group with thousands of active members, never said that. It just reflects that if he does not treat bounties as a job, then he's probably not at all serious with the campaigns he manage. Some hunters take bounties seriously regardless if it is the main source of income or a part-time. 

1: payment isn't guaranteed

- it depends on the campaign. There are those with escrows.

2: bounty hunting is more of luck than skill

- How so? If this is related to number 1, then I have the same response

3: it could turn out too be a total waste of time at any moment

- it's no different than a regular job where you could get fired or get f*cked by your employer. Or it could turn out to be really worth it.

It could be considered because it is similar to other's people job .
We are promoting the project in bounty campaigns and we could compare it to the promo dicers they are also promoting their company's product.
The only difference is we are doing it on the internet and they are being paid while we are being SCAMMED 😂 .

I think it can be a part time job which will guide you for long term earnings. If you are looking for a quick earnings it will be not for you nowadays. If you believe in crypto one day you will gain good amount from bounty hunting.

Dont tend to make it as a regular job but rather this should be treated as a sideline job yet as being said the payments arent guaranteed and even
if you have been paid out by tokens you cant still be sure that those would really have some value later on which means making money isnt still an assurance.

Payment is isnt guaranteed

Bounty hunting nowadays would really need some luck for you to spot out good project but somehow skills on researching would have still the advantage.

Totally waste of time when projects become scam or wont pay you out.

Bounty hunters are worldwide and theres no statistics on where they do live most of them.

Yes, but don’t expect too much if you don’t work hard on this and also you have to understand that bounty hunting is not guaranteed and you cannot earn money everyday to support for your needs. Bounty hunters are suffering from a failed projects this might be the big risk if you depend on this.

I agree bounty hunting can not be classified as a job because in job there is a fixed  daily, weekly or monthly salary so bounty hunting is more like freelancing where anyone can promote as many projects as he can or need but yes reward payments are not guaranteed in bounty hunting due to multiple reasons like team not paying, reduction in reward, project failure, team division or clash with bounty manager etc i hope in future their will ne some service where bounty rewards will be guaranteed.

Of course for someone it is a hobby , for some it is the work , There are projects which are paid for with Ethereum and bitcoin , I think here luck is not particularly necessary , just to be able to look for these projects and good work !

[omonuyak]

It is possible for bounty hunting to replace your job but you should be ready to work hard in selecting good projects that can turn great in future.  I could remember a friend of mine that made around $8000 in a single bounty in 2017. You may need to be patience a bit as in future Cryptocoins promotions may become the future income.

even though he didn't say "bounty hunting isn't a job" I still think that bounty is just a hobby and a side job ... if we consider the bounty to be the main job, I can't possibly give my child and wife to eat every day

[blockman]

Many bounties now are scam so why you will consider bounty hunting is a job? I think he's right saying that, here in the forum it's mostly an incentive that you can partake if you want to. It's difficult for all of you to find the most legit bounty right now.

2: bounty hunting is more of luck than skill

Lucky if you have found a legit one.

This is exactly my point.. I saw a guy who said he wanted to go marry a wife from he's bounty payment ... dunno if he's joking or not.. but it's just hilarious

Thank you very much for this answer.. you could put in your best in making a YouTube video for over 42hours only to get pizza payment

Agree with your points as bounty payouts are not consistent. Especially during the bear market many bounty
payments were delayed, postponed or even cancelled. Bounty hunting is more like a part time job, being rewarded
for doing advertising staff. It depends on the country where you leave as maybe in some countries you can live
from bounty hunting. If you are not selling your rewarded coins immediately and waiting for the market to recover,
maybe your rewards will be more valuable.

I'm just glad not everyone disagrees with me.. so too some.. it can be considered a full time job.. while others it's just a hobby or partime job

[sergiokkl]

Yes bounty hunters should not blame managers for their losses. Bounty managers are also like us which hired to run the campaign. They are not part of the team so what ever happen, manager have not responsible of it. But on the other hander, i wish bounty manager dont accept project so easy, they have loyal bounty followers so better for them to hold their credibility of choosing payable campaign

1: payment isn't guaranteed

This section I agree, there is nothing that guarantees payment on time and in accordance with the allocation that has been determined at the beginning. You can even get nothing when the campaign ends. (many)

2: bounty hunting is more of luck than skill

This is not entirely true, because in making content requires ideas and expertise. for example blogs, yotube and bug searches.
except social media campaigns.

3: it could turn out too be a total waste of time at any moment

this is true, sometimes

4: I don't know what country most bounty hunters are from.. but where I'm from.. I can't survive a week with just $100 bounty reward..

Russia is a country that I often find in spreadsheets. but there are still many Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Vietnam.

In all honesty, what's the difference between your  day job and bounty hunting.. Your boss finds your work unsatisfactory and sacks you. You fail to meet certain heights and get retrenched..Or you could even be owed salaries for months and have to beg your employers for your pay like your life depends on it..
In all fairness, there is no difference between bounty hunting and any other job.. Same way it comes with certain levels of uncertainty.

[arnoldrimmer]

No Bounty hunting should be a part time job, Crypto is really unpredictable so I wouldn't advice that it should  be a full time except except situation whereby there are paying your weekly not in token but FIAT
