Bounties is not a reliable source of income

[mersal]

It never was/is as an primary source of income.Most people not getting any bucks even after being a part of bounty campaign for months which is due to the failure of a project or it turned into a scam.

So when someone want reliable source then they need to increase their knowledge and find the better investment ideas.

bounties has never been and will never be a source of income. it is a menial job that can substain little expenses. you don't put your life on it as if it should be your major source of income. some are beneifting while some are wasting their time. some even spend much time on it.

It could be a source of income if its profitable, it's been profitable in the past but market change affects the profitability of the bounty hunters.
Based on my experience, bounty is good as I have earn a decent amount of money during the year 2016 and 2017, but 2018 onward it slowly decrease until most of my earn tokens I hope become worthless, but at least I was able to sold some and enjoyed the reward.

Indeed bounty is not a reliable source of income.This earnings should be as an additional part-time job to the main job. The crypto-currency market is unpredictable, this type of earnings is also unpredictable.

[dimonstration]

Yes, unless you have a bitcointalk account with a high rank or have a team to do social campaigns in large numbers, it's hard to get bounty as your main source of income. I think with new people, it should only be considered a part time job.

Even those who have high rank account didn't able to earn much in bounties, especially if the project tends not to really pay their participants, it will still depend on the project if its worth investing and if it have what it takes to succeed over the period of time

Bounties used to be a major source of income for many people in this forum. The bear market and gradual loss of interest in ICO led to the current state of bounties and I don't think it will ever go back to what it was before.

[AtlantaFive]

I did not think of bounties as a reliable income because there are a lot of factors that will affect your income here. Sometimes we earn nothing and got scam by people and all our hard work is wasted. I only think this as a sideline especially i hit those good bounty campaigns.

Back in 2017 I never knew there is anything called bounties or bitcointalk forum until 2018 when I came across a PDF that says it all about how to earn coins promoting projects so since then I decide to give a try ,since 2018 now I've been promoting some projects and I've gotten paid via the project tokens but in reality I haven't been able to earn a dime ,they keep postponing when they will get listed on exchanges ,the PDF never talked about how long this always takes ,just imagine if bounty is all I got I would have starved a lot ,bounties long things and it can easily make one give up promoting them ,its always one delay after the other

Do not give up and just stay calm down is that part of being bounty hunter to become failure but not all the time the project you promoting is failed to reach the presale.
It's normal payment delay for the participants because the devs need to prioritized the investor pay them, the importance is devs know the obligation for their participants.

Of course if we rely on the main income from the prize campaign that we follow, it cannot provide a guarantee to be able to fulfill our daily needs, because not all gift programs can provide huge rewards, even some of them do not pay at all so that the work we do with it doesn't get anything from the related project. therefore to be able to make money from this technology, we must have other ways to be able to make money, such as trading or anything that can give us benefits, and do not depend on the gift program that we follow because we expect rewards that can meet the needs daily

[rose9696]

Don't depends your income in joining bounty campaign or working here in cryptocurrency it has the volitility and you know how it works but if you are wise and csn handle this situation and ues it is a good source of income but always remember do your professions as priority works but dont leave cryptocurrency and continue to have works on it.

I understand this. I originally planned to give up my full time job to work for many ICO projects in 2017, at which time my income was huge. but 2018 was a disastrous year and it seemed like all the projects I did were scam.
so I never considered bounty hunters a good job, it's just a partime job.

[Nwaka20]

I agree with you cause bounty can cause a big disappointment especially during time for payment. Some project team members treat hunters like beggers and tend to frustrate us by imposing different rules after campaign just to avoid payment. It is wise to see bounty hunting as a side hustle so that you won't be too frustrated after getting disappointed.

[Kemileye]

I consider bounty to be extra source of income because it can't guarantee passive income. As a bounty hunter, one have to get a passive income job and use bounty hunting to supplement the income from the job.

[eagleman]

Now it’s harder to make money on bounty. But I don’t think that bounty is no longer an opportunity to make money. Just rewards have decreased but the competition has not decreased.

Yes it's difficult to make money with bounties these days.
And although there are projects that still conduct bounties, most of them doesn't guarantee payment because of their condition that they'll be paying up at the end of their sale.

now aday very difficult to earn money from bounty campaign.its reward didn't same again with condition on 2017, where every months we could earn money more than $1k.but at current time its hard to do.

Wow that's a nice profit during the old times but we won't stay that long there.
Because we are living now in the reality and that reality is sad for most of the bounty hunters because of the market's situation and fact that bounties are no longer profitable.

[tenakha]

Unfortunately, this is the bitter truth of the last months. And so, bounties should be considered as the second source of earnings. There is nothing that guarantees us, maybe more than we expected, maybe zero.

[franciscoDC]

but it a sideline job and its free,so dont complain about it,you can earn a big amount if you just work it hard and work smart for choosing your bounty this is what i do now.

[Nanagyasi]

It is not a reliable source of income to those who do that as their primary job but for the many who do bounty just a secondary means to gain some income, it might be ohk for them. The fact is, if you place all your hopes on bounty, that is where you begin to get worried when listing delays.

[seleme]

Full time bounty hunting does not exist AFAIK but working a half of a day as a task maker is unhealthy. Bounty campaigns also don't pay huge amounts to the bounty hunters due to low market prices and it will continue for a while in my opinion. As a form of passive income bounty earnings can be a drop in the ocean, otherwise it will become a hard to control the whole stuff.

Bounty programs here should not really be treated as a major source of income. Because doing so, one might find in a very difficult situation in his day to day life. Now, that tokens are very unpredictable, like when will you receive it, when will it gonna hit in the exchange, or will they ever get a good value once listed? It is like your future is very hazy if you will rely on these programs.

[Bagaji]

You shouldn't put much hope of getting money from participating in bounty campaign since you yourself have realized that participating in bounty doesn't worth it. But if you are referring to how bounty was in 2017 then you should say that with your main account since this particular one was registered in 2018.

Yeah, you're not wrong. We should be like that since we have needs that must be completed every day. It would be very tormented if someone only expected income from bounty hunting. Delays on payment, coin/token not have a price is the thing that's so prevalent today.
