Bounties is not a reliable source of income

[z21770179]

Because these projects don't really want to pay you, in 2018 is a year of down trend for crypto. Most ICO projects were unsuccessful, the reasons that made bounty almost no money

bounties should not be a reliable source of income. it's a kind of additional income that can help you in some difficult situations.

[Jatawneh]

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

In this days a lot of failed or Scam project, but 3 years ago bounty campaign was really good, because their was few bounty hunters and good projects so promoters were paid good.
but now situation is different. I do not look to bounty as reliable source of income.

They can be a reliable source of income if you have more than one account. Armies of bots cannot be wrong.

There are people who made a lot of money on this forum farming accounts and joining campaigns before the boom in 2017. If you joined in 2016 and had no money  a year later you could have tenths of thousand of dollars out of nothing without investing anything but your time. Now with merit it's much harder but still possible if Bitcoin experiences another boom and you have a strong hand.

You're right. Bounties can still be a reliable source of income if you have numerous accounts but if you only have a single account to rely on, no doubt you will be starved waiting for your reward. Lucky are those who participated in bounties way back 2016 and 2017 because scamming is not yet rampant that time and that bounty hunters are still paid well.

[Leema]

Depends on how you involve in good projects. Though sometimes we can't get to know some bad project. It is better to get an offline jobs. Though they are still reliable projects.

[jvdp]

Getting the tokens from the campaign owner is not so critical first and some of the campaign never pays to the participants. If this is the problem for the good ICO. Otherside, scammers are never pay or leave the campaign after they collected the fund from the few investors.

When there is a problem just to participate the campaign means how come people will consider it as part time source of income as well.
I will never consider the bounties are good source income because of this saturated marketplace.

[poldanmig]

Participating in bounties should be considered as a part time job because most of them delay in payment. But there are some good bounties out there that have coins already listed on exchanges. These bounties are very cool  to participate in. You can give those ones a try.

Actually, if you are really interested in a signature or bounty campaign, there are some who actually get payment in the form of bitcoin every week, but indeed the value is not that big. it is true that the bounty should be used as a side job

I want to rephrase your title
Bounties is a reliable second source of income if you participate properly and make good and judicious use of your participation

Dyor and get the best projects to work upon

Bounties from previous years has good rewards which makes people think that working on bounty is more profitable than a regular job. Sad to say, scammers emerge and investors lost their confidence to invest on ICO that's why good paying bounties diminished. Therefore I would say that don't traut too much on bounty campaigns as your source of income or you will starve if you do so.

[Raymondavid47]

This is actually true. Bounty used be a big deal. Some bounties even paid in btc and Ethereum. It was something that was worthwhile and you can rely on it to an extent. But now things as changed, bounty is not what it used to be. You can't rely on bounty as a steady income, it will surely disappoint you. All you can do is to take Bounty hunting as a part time job.

[kalstarzz]

It is true that the current state of the gift cannot be relied on, but it should also be underlined that not everything is like that, at the moment there are still some bounty projects that have the best potential, but we need to be very very careful in looking for them.

[baeva2]

I also, like you, began to participate in the bounty since 2018 and also did not really earn anything except useless tokens, which are simply lying on the wallet and are not being traded anywhere.

[jonsky05]

Maybe it's not reliable income for you but for others bounties is a way to make a earnings it's really depends to the project that we participate. That's why it's really important to make a research before we participate in any project so we know if that project will be successful future in crypto and the crypto market.

[Mianae]

Back in 2017,ICOs boom was everywhere, moon and Lambo kids were everywhere, the Bull run was there as well. What has affected bounty hunting is the bear season that has crippled ICOs. Projects no longer reach their softcap let alone hardcap. Everything dumps upon listing on exchange.

[chimaera-]

As a developer about to (re)launch a coin it's interesting to read about bounty experiences.  I'm not up to speed with how bounties work nowadays, is there a guide or reference point for types of bounties, reasonable bounty rewards, etc?

[CryptoLogo]

When bounty was especially popular (~ 2017), then it was possible to earn good money for participating in them. However, everything has changed and now it is only possible to earn a little.

[silver23]

why you choose Bounty for your main job ?
that is totally wrong mate, you can't depend in income bounty.
bounty campain is good for your seccond job not main job, because payment you get is uncalculate and never been calculated.
maybe 1 project you will get 1000$ and maybe 1 project you get nothing.

[escalante28]

It really depends on what field you're going to join. There are different kinds of a campaign in each bounty and you can choose which part of it has a big allocation reward. But of course, you have to choose a good bounty that will surely pay you. For me, bounties are still a good source of income if you choose wisely. Try to join in an article campaign, youtube campaign, bug campaign, translation campaign or signature because those campaigns have a good amount of rewards.

[Redg85]

hello mate! it takes a lot of patience to be a bounty hunter. especially when the project you join is as not as strong or fully constructed in the foundation of cryptocurrency. I join a lot of bounties but I earned less from what I expected, so I am telling you now mate on daily-life-expences basis bounty hunting is not a good reliable income. better look for a stable job and make bounty hunting a hobby. time will come you will reap all your rewards. cheers!
