The Bitter Truth about Bounties

[Metall303]

That’s right, bounty campaigns especially in 2018 and 2019 wasn’t profitable until now. But still there are still some campaigns that you can get some btc, eth or a valuable token at least. It’s better to join one of these kind campaigns.

There are a lot of companies where you can earn 0.05 BTC for several months of work. so bounty can still be an extra income

[Mr.Noda]

You should always sacrifice something hunters donate their time. Traders money and so on.

now there are indeed many unprofitable campaigns. but not all of that is fraud. because there is still a reward campaign that is quite profitable. so we who jump in the campaign don't just despair. because everything won't be fraudulent.

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???

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

Already listed coins carrying out bounty is not many. There are just few of therm in the crypto market. What most of them do is airdrop and the value does not amount to anything meaningful, except it has a  referral programme, where the referrer gets what is sellable on exchange.
Despite all, there are still few profitable bounty campaigns in the space.

Bounties merit is you gain knowledge and represent a project in professional way it is positive gesture for your account and the demerit of Bounties is scam projects if you unable to select legit project then scam project will destroy your efforts and wastage of time at the end you will get nothing.So it is strongly advised to be careful choose the real projects to save your time and efforts.

I agree you need to very carefully check projects and study them because, because you choose the wrong project, it’s not enough that you lose your money. So, even by wasting your time on working better, have people who know where to invest in this business.

I'm sure that you guys have experience doing bounty for months and when you are very lucky that you got paid then you check the value of your tokens, it's only $10-$20 in total. It is so heartbreaking to witness that kind of moment. And now I realized that maybe I'll try investing in IEOs and stop bounty hunting because it's the only thing that can make me profit again.

Not really that small if the time you finished the bounty during a bull run then it would exceed more than that. I am one of the lucky bounty hunters who got my tokens during the bull run of Bitcoin at that time on 2017 and was lucky enough to get more than the said prize. But today bounty hunting with ICO is not really a good idea since it is slowly dying due to either lack of support or prone to a scam.

[shakesbear]

And I think that the situation has not changed, earlier projects have underestimated ourselves, and overrated now, I think that's the problem.

[martychubbs]

It seems to me that every bounty story differs from one another.Some say they were super lucky ans some say they were cheated or underpaid.Depends on a person I guess.

I think such bounty hunters almost there.

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???

They will bring profit, but only in the long term.

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

What is the point of promoting such projects if they pay very little?

He last time I ever received such amount of money per project was in that 2017, and ever since then, most of the ICO I have seen lately has become too greedy that they want to use the hell out of an hunter and then pay the hunter penny.

Imagine a campaign staying for as long as 8 months and then paying the hunter just $30 at the end of the project. Is that not a very big foolishness? There is no even guarantee that you will have access to the $30 after the projects, because if you are not fast on time, investor may quickly dump it before you do which will crash the price even far below what you received. He best now is to try and participate in already listed projects.

[guoyu78]

The most bitter part is that we bounty hunters now only earn about 20$ to 50$ in a 3 months bounty duration, this was actually the truth and this is possible because the tokens are continouosly decreasing right after being listed on some exchange.

Bitter than receiving nothing at all? there's projects since 2018 and still not being listed and the team keeps giving promises or worst not giving any updates, if you are part of that campaign tokens will stuck without any use and will keeps reminding you about that project.

I have lots of them stocked in my wallet and can be so annoying seeing them for over a year now not even entering exchange, and the funny thing is that this is how they will continue to update people until investors lose interest in the project and then forget about the project.

We hunters are still lucky that we didn’t put in heavy investment, the people that are mostly affected are very heavy investors, they lose thousands of dollars to ICO’s like this, that is why you see very big investor now going to IEO because it looks safer and real there, just that IEO has not factored in hunters yet.

[Dacosta Osei-Tutu]

I have so many bounty tokens in MEW but funny enough, majority of them are not tradable. They just shit coins. Just find some already existing projects who are running bounties and join those ones. Though those ones don't pay huge amounts but at least you are sure of your payments.

I do agree with your concern and even i have problem same like you, investing in IEO's is always a good way to make money if you manage to hold them for a certain period of time. In the same way, you can research more about the bounty campaign because most of the potential coins are showing their credibility even after listing in the exchanges.

[zzortyx]

Even with careful selection of bounty campaigns, you can get tokens that cost absolutely nothing. Every bounty hunter with experience has useless coins on his account. Only a small percentage of projects gives participants a good profit.

before it be shit token we have to sell it.holding token was not good anymore , its easy to dump in market.personally i am prefer to switch my bounties reward to major coins such as btc, eth, bnb or others.

[AltcoinsBattle]

Yes, rewards are rarely paid for a long time. But what comes to the wallets is so cheap that even converting to BTC, ETH seems unreasonable. Also, by selling your rewards, you contribute to the fall in the prices of these assets.
Hodl may not be a good solution, but selling right away too is not a good one.

but not all IEOs will benefit many IEOs that have low prices when they have started trading and now there are several IEO projects taking into account bounty hunters to carry out promotions

[Koobtcgal]

The fact is that after the bull run, many fake projects have been running and bounties hunters find it difficult to filter these projects as to whether they are fake or legit and that's why you may be seriously involved in a fake bounty instead of the legit one. It's no one's fault and some members of this forum have put it on themselves making some of them exposed even before the tokensale starts.ss

[digitalblock]

Now the bounty program is much weaker than the bounty program of 2017 - it's a fact. I was able to get no more than $ 300. Now participation in the bounty is absolutely hopeless idea that will spend your time.
