The Bitter Truth about Bounties

[r_delossa]

For sure 2017 was more profitable for doing bounties as 2018 and it does not surprise anyone, because during the whole 2018 the market was falling down and no project was even able to collect a soft cap, and I am not even speaking about great bounty rewards.

Let's talk about bounties that are not looking for funds like ICO and IEO ,they are always better and you don't need to wait forever to get your tokens,I like promoting already listed coins or tokens, it's gives better rest of mind

Bounty hunters are now moving to coins that are already listed, it saves you time and effort, I experienced promoting bounties for 4 months up  and all I got was $100 worth of tokens that's actually 10 times drop from what I'm receiving way back 2017, there are only a few projects now that deserves attention, most of the projects now are duplicate with a little enhancement.

Since its much easier to conclude those bounties that already listed that's why hunters are supporting such projects, they knew that after
the project finished the campaigns and rewards has been distributed they will easily sell the rewards and go and find another.

hello mate! I was able to make 500usd in two projects I joined in and that's back in 2017 and early 2018. nowadays some projects don't even pay you your reward even after listing in a certain market. as far as I remember the first month I got engaged in cryptocurrency was for airdrops, a lot of it. and luckily made a small fortune from it. up until today I still got some coins or tokens from bounties and airdrops waiting for a bull. cheers!

Yeah, in 2017 ago many project which great and valuable, especially for we are bounty hunter. Many project reach the goal and hardcap from the ICO sale so the total marketcap in crypto is really big.

Majority of the ICOs made on 2017 successfully hitting their hard cap and as well as others soft cap. And that affected positively the bounties that they have done to the forum and different social medias, it's the best years of bounty as well but I don't think that it will happen again.

[Mr.Zero]

how can some project with listed on market doing bounty campain.
OK sometimes i find that, but who need a promotional first is new project with ICO and IEO.
i think that is right, now bounty campain is not worth because market is in under price, just wait in bull run and all back to legit.

[Buntel168]

It can be said that 2017 until the beginning of 2018 is the best year for bounty hunters and I feel that. For this time bounty still best way to earn crypto depending on the project that you choose.

[bassbity]

2017 is the best thing for bounty hunters with large profits in each project they follow, until now the bounty is still there but small profits and have to wait months to get it, but sometimes it's also a bounty and the price of the token is already listed at CMC.

[Zdraste16]

Bounty companies still bring good profits, only in the event that you perform more complex tasks (translation, signature, articles, videos).  Projects need to be carefully selected and analyzed.

[dizzy1996]

Yes, indeed, a year ago, for a bounty company, it was possible to get good money only for one job, but now to get good money you need to do a lot of work and this is not a guarantee that you will get something at all.

[VDraci]

How far are you willing to hunt for good bounties? Many are joining not so good bounties for example I detect icocoinlab bounty is a scam and guess what ? 100s of bounty hunter are already promoting the project ,it means many bounty hunters don't bother to investigate projects before they join ,many are to be blamed for there rewards

[panjay]

How many of you bounty hunters are actually making up to 500$ per project after months of promoting the bounty project this year? I heard that those who make thousands of $$$$ in 2017/ early 2018 are fortunate because of the bullrun ,so thus that means if no bullrun all bounties won't bring huge profits???

you can't be always making 500$ a projects, even your stake/rewards reach that criteria, I mean sure you can have a 1000$ of said tokens, but as well you aware, we in a different market, back then almost everything pumped with just a reason, existing (and listed on exchange of course). Now it's hard to reach 500$/project if you bet on a new ICO, but if the project will pay in a top ten coinmarketcap cryptocurrency, I think you can begin to think to calculate your earning then.

[Eraldo Coil]

Not really. Most of the time yes but there is a bounty which I've joined where I was able to have some profit. I guess I was just lucky that the project is really good and a lot of people invested on it. But that is just a proof that no bullrun =/= no profit in bounties. Project's performance is still important.

Bitter truth. Bounties used to be profitable but now, only the one with strong determination will survive. Will not even be able to feed you if you will just depend on your profit from it. Most of the time bounty hunters if not paid are being scammed or have participated in a wrong project.

,so thus that means if no bullrun all bounties won't bring huge profits???

Its not because of no bull run but somehow yes because most of the coins we get from bounties and being exchanged to bitcoin or ethereum and if the two do not have good value, our coins will not get good profit too.

I agree to your comment and a few of the replies to your comment, however from my point of view still bounty hunting is not dead.
Sure, at the moment it's not shining as gold as it used to be in 2017 and mid-2018, but still can earn some.
First, we should not do it as our primary job, second, we need to hold the coins or tokens received for long term to get real benefits. We can not judge how much we have received right after payment but after the complete development of the project.
The other side is that nowadays its very much difficult to identify a good genuine bounty. Of course, we can not participate in all, but in few, we must be lucky to some extent.
I also look at the bounty hunting as a part of learning all about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. By involvement in different technical projects, I always learn new things.
Overall, for me, it's still having a good prospectus.

[cherryganda]

If you are looking on a good project 500 USD is a small amount.
thjough if you will just join them with out any investigation then you are on the right track asking it.
remember knowledge and research is the base fundamentals and you should have it.

[Cent21]

Nowadays there are a lot of bounty campaigns that are mostly scam campaigns.... They will never give reward to promoters, they change partecipation terms at the end for example (forcing kyc just to avoid paying). So you spend months promoting a project that starts without kyc obligation, and then just before the distribution you are forced to kyc. It's a shame.

Even in 2017 there where a few scam bounty campaigns, but there where also many good campaigns where the managers keep their promises to bounty hunters.

[BeManga]

2017 is really one best time in bounty campaign and now because of lost of trust from investor there not much investor now who participate in ICO almost all ico and bounty campaign token price drop after hitting the exchange.

[levyashin]

Every one knows bounties are not like they used to be. But still, they are not a complete waste of time.

If you are lucky enough you can still earn something.

[baeva2]

Now it is not worth remembering 2017 - you will not return the situation that developed at that time. Now another time is more difficult and you need to look for other ways to earn money in the cryptoindustry and work harder.

I agree, in the bounty hunting task, there is a chance that you can hit a jackpot and gain huge reward.  Unlike 2017 that almost every project pays a good sum of money, the chance in todays bounty getting a good payment is quite slim.  But don't lose hope, probably the one we are participating now can give us a good reward.
