THE GOOD AND BAD SIDES OF BOUNTIES

[chatedha]

I create 1 email, exclusive to do an airdrop/bounty and I use a different email for exchanger and my real job
I don't know why my hitbtc get hack too, I use a different password for every exchanger. I check other my exchanger account and still safe, only HitBtc get hack.

It is almost becoming impossible to avoid hackers these days because of the information we are providing when participating in bounties and airdrop, this information is really exposing us to hackers more than we thought, i just hope we can have a better way of providing our information.

I have had a lot of good and bad experience with bounty hunting. The good part being that I don't spend money to purchase coins but earn them. The bad part is working for projects that will eventually impose Kyc or exit scam.

[Best Dreams]

given the fact that there are many hackers out there.. you should have protect your account with 2fa aut.. in hitbtc when you add 2fa's in your account the ip that was used in your account is recorded.. you cannot add new 2fa unless you have confirmed them

It is not bad side it is good side if we spend our time in it, because we know if we have no money to invest we will have only one option which is to join bounty and signature campaigns, it gives us income for every month we can even earn more than our daily job from bounty campaigns, when you spend your time it gives you knowledge and experience as well, so it is best to join bounties there is no bad side for me.

1; whether you like it or now, your social media accounts will receive login threat(someone trying to login to your account from a different location)
2; hackers will also play with emails that was exposed while registering on bounties.

3; if your account is not secured properly, you will lose everything. even your wallet.

This is not about bounties but about your sense of security,
There has been a LOT of talk about some projects stealing or just not properly securing data.

The solution is simple: for bounties use different email /emails with different password.
And if you have a lot of funds in exchange for GODS SAKE use  2FA.

Maybe you did not use 2fa protection and an authenticator on the exchange itself? This is strange, because if you believe your words it was quite difficult to crack you, it means an oversight was made on your part.

Bounty program is a good tool to get acquainted with cryptocurrency. It also allows a beginner crypto enthusiast to earn his first coins without investing real money.

The good sides you mentioned are not true because you can't find out a project easily. On the other hand, the bad sides you mentioned depend on you. You can protect your account even if you participate on social media.

[joshua123]

That is the reality we cannot remove on cryptocurrency. Lots of people with skills have taken advantage of their talent to use it for malicious ways and stealing. Im frustrated that these people are devoting their time to do these kind of act. Why not contributed to the development of crypto rather doing these stuff .

you are absolutely right. when i am in newbie in Crytocurrency i work in bounty but later on i realise that. there are more projects which have least potential they organise bounty. if i participate in it. i get nothing just some penny from it. now i am very choosy when its come to bounty. i usually do.

Yes . For sure but theres alot of scam projects and cool projects with huge potential but with unprofessional team . to be more precise - the bounty program is good if you are ready to spend your time with the risk of not getting anything.

[ansarose1]

You're right about the bad sides of the bounty that our social media accounts are treathened to be hack, also our wallets due to login attemp to the sites and bounties. The good side is to earn buy not too much now since bounty campaigns aren't profitable now, unlike the past years.

[Nellayar]

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.


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.

BAD SIDE.

1; whether you like it or now, your social media accounts will receive login threat(someone trying to login to your account from a different location)
2; hackers will also play with emails that was exposed while registering on bounties.

3; if your account is not secured properly, you will lose everything. even your wallet.



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

I am currently 2 years in this forum. But as of now, I am glad to say that there is no scam or hack I ever experienced. I joined different campaigns and I am happy that I withdraw money rather than I received threats. Yes, security is needed in this space and I am always assuring my assets because I earn money using bounty campaigns.

I also feel the same way. That I am very grateful until this moment did not feel the name of hacking related to my assets. Because I'm also always careful about suspicious things. Because hackers always have a way to get other people's assets.

For me, bounty campaigns are always good where I can get free tokens without any investment and where I can learn crypto and helps me remain on alert about scams. But my disappointment takes place when I get nothing or I get scammed for working for a bounty project. But as a result of such cases, I will learn ways to choose good crypto projects.

[Augustyusuf]

the most embarassing problem now is many scammer did bounty program out there, first they reduce the total reward, then delay the payment or will be never pay the entire bounty hunters, that project name is menapay.

[swivel1983@gmail.com]

Yes, it is very important to know all coin holders and participants of bounty campaigns. Security should come first and therefore it is best to use email that only you know and that is not used for other purposes. Sometimes a few minutes spent on creating a new email address can save your nerves and coins.

[SistaFista]

About the good things you explained, i think we cannot get rich by only joining bounties nowadays.
We were be able to become rich by bounty, in 2017 when the ICO still very popular in cryptocurrency.
The best thing we can do is by joining bounties with more picky and strict standard to get a real decent reward.

[redsun114]

Bounties are good and you can get rich from it like you have said, but I don't think you should have it as your main job. Not everyone can wait for that long to get paid, so it is best that you have a job and bounty can be your side hustle for making extra bucks. You're right about not using your main email for bounties and I will advise anyone to not use their main email account for any of these, it's best to have a separate email that is meant for the purpose of bounty and things that are related to it, in case you happen to face threats like hacking. And you should as well make use of emails that are safe, just like the Yahoo mail that has two factor authentication and other security measures to keep your email safe.
