THE GOOD AND BAD SIDES OF BOUNTIES

[Mike Mayor]

2; hackers will also play with emails that was exposed while registering on bounties.

That's why I put 2FA in my account to prevent my account got hacked. Also, I using different password so the hackers cant hack another my account if he/she know the password one of my account.

2FA is the best security so far and it can really protect your email from the bad guys.
Bounties gives you profit but the bad sides are more than the good side so bounty hunters are having a hard time now to make money because of so many scam projects. Don't worry about the bad sides, just keep on joining good bounties and you can earn again.

I think the scammers need to start being arrested seriously. But honestly, people are total idiots. There is a scam running and in the Ann it says it is a scam, there is no admin around no new posts and still the bounty thread has morons filling in work. As long as these morons continue to work for scams the scams will keep coming. It only encourages these scammers. Honestly so many bounty hunters are idiots.

I have never had anything hacked into, not even an attempt. I don't know how these fools get their the wallets hacked all the time. Add email verifivation and F2A. On exchanges I don't allow anything to move without lots of verifications. First I must unlock the trade (depends where I exchange) with a pin number. I then need to make sure I login with an IP that is added to the list which is the IP addresses I use and blocks everything else. Then there is the password and username and then the email password and user name and then after that they still need the F2A. I can't see how it is possible to be hacked with that many verifications.

I also made it more difficult for myself to trade to allow myself time to think about the trade and make 100% sure I am trading the correct amount. If someone logs onto my account I know about it by the IP.

   My the most first mail already turned to trush basket due to staying it for registration on different blury sites.
   That's why for bounties i usually create a new mail address or use one for a short time.

[Payme21]

All points valid..these tells everyone to pay special attention to the security of your wallets and exchange accounts as cases of hacks has been experienced on countless occasions

Yeah, but it is very easy to get an e-mail list of bounty hunters -> bounty thread -> bounty spreadsheet.
I think it is a good moment to make 2nd mailbox for bounty hunting/ airdrop

Currently, participating in the Bounty is not as beneficial as it used to be. Now there are more scammers, a good project is harder to find. So now, in my opinion, there are more bad sides than good ones.

[thefaucetrunner]

this ia good advise from your past experience, so new bounty hunter can build their safety awareness to avood scam action or being hacked with irresponsible people who want take benefit from crypto enthusiast instantly, i feel bad for this situation...but there are more good things for bounty hunters rather than negative thing, doing bounty job just like investing on the other way in my opinion, because bounty hunter are invest their time, energy and effort to help spreading the word about project, and bounty hunter are most important thing to held crowdfunding.

[islafilipina]

The bad side of bounties is not getting payed and whats worst is they will set a date and they will move the date again until your tire of waiting for your payment to come and boom they disappear 

[Wyndesam]

A bounty has no bad sides other than the one that they may not pay for work.  And the rest is great.  The main thing is to choose a company.

In generosity there is one big disadvantage is when you do a lot of bounty and they don't pay , I think it's almost possible to stop doing the bounty , only with the exception of those who pay with Fiat

[pageraji]

The good side is that for bounty hunters we get a side income and there is a basic income that helps our daily needs, the bad side is if we are not paid like when we joined the signature campaign for 4 months it turned out to be a scam. About account all have risk, its on your own protected to be safe.

[Gabali126]

For newbies in the crypto business, you must Know this. make sure you never associate your exchange email with your bounty account.  make this a top priority. i advice hunters to have more than 3 gmail accounts.

Another advice is that the passwords you use for bounties requesting you to sign up on one website or the should be different from the password of your email account. I have received countless emails requesting me to confirm registration to pages I didn't even sign up for including HitBTC registration confirmation which I never did.

[bloodyvio]

Guys i just got HACKED on my hitbtc exchange account.
login location United Kingdom.
i never know u.k have hackers too.

Ah, i also just remembered that i also got a trial login email with a different country ip
this happened to my HitBTC, KuCoin and OKEx accounts
but i think this is because that exchange security is weak, so hackers can get user data
and luckily i didn't have any assets on that exchanges so i didn't thinking about it
because i always log in with Notebook specifically for crypto which i have improved the security and used specifically only for login exchange

[mahibul49]

good side for bounty is you can earn a passive income by doing task and signature but bad side is lots of fake team stealing your information and also scamming your money

[bitcoin31]

So once you register in their website don't use the email that you use also in your wallet and don't same password for your other coins to be safe. Maybe better if you add to your bad side list on the bounties is wasting time and effort because that's happening right now in bounty hunters. Yes bounties will give to you more money if you are really to find out good and auccessful bounty.

[sieemma]

The fall of crypto from the all time high caused bounty doing to be not worth what we all knew it for. The risein ICOs that were conducted in 2017 brought about many scam projects which didn't help us to get projects that are actually genuine to work on

Bounty hunting is not the best way to receive more coins by making a small re-shares. Bounty payments are not even salt in the soup after many scam projects. It is difficult to rely on a particular project before checking the background of the team. Hack problems still exist today and 2fa  is not enough to counter against hackers.

Yes bounties will give to you more money if you are really to find out good and auccessful bounty.

after all it is not recommended to use the same email and password for each different thing and always make it different at each registration that will be do. earning profit from bounties is difficult because if you don't have the skills then you will not get the exact project and to get the best requires experience in this field so that the work you do is not useless

[kogozer714]

we must be careful to enter emails in bounty searches. because all can be hacked from the sheet trying to use the e-mail that was entered but they will be useless for that because it will get a blank paper from me

[stigmacryptonight]

That is the truth. Bounties may give us huge profits over time with patience and hard work but those information you give qre at risk especially when the project you joined turns out to be scam. We should be careful nowadays and finsnother sources of earnings beside bounties or investing in Bitcoin or other altcoins.

There is nothing we can do when we get a scam project. Of course the project cannot pay for the work we do. I am sure everyone will look for ways to earn income besides the bounty but at first people have to find income in the bounty before making an investment.

[fortunecrypto]

The good side of bounties
1; you will definitely make lot of money campaigning for good projects.
2; you might even get rich on the long term if you are a holder of coins and able to detect good projects.

I have experienced this in the past when Ico is not yet scam-fest, you really going to make money if you have coins from the good project, but that was in the past, right now most of the coins that you are going to received from bounties are worth pennies and you're going to be disappointed if you think that you have promoted it for 5 months or even more.

[Moiyah]

Thank for reminding us. But there are still bounties that are legit. Anyhow, I am not against bounties since many members here are gaining from it. We are taking the risks since we are joining unsure projects. Just be careful on joining into it. I prefer those projects that I do think will be possible to stay in the long run.
