Pissed at bounty campaigns since late 2018

[bustedsynx]

I'm just ranting. I have participated in three consecutive ICO bounty campaigns: the first one was finished along with the ICO but then the ICO changed heads and then they stiffed the bounty participants and just completely ignored everyone. The second campaign was just blah, nothing. No communication, there's even no ICO scheduled to happen! The third one just completely shut down in one day, they removed their LinkedIn page too.

Things were indeed a lot different before the massive bullrun of 2017.

Anyone thinking of joining bounties, don't rely on them.

It looks like you don't know how to analyze a good bounty, have you seen the latest bounty that called harmony? even the telegram participants gets more than 0.1 btc in a month for easy work.
Please, learn more about how to analyze a good bounty and you will never regret it.
The different thing that is so difficult to determine the best bounty caused by so many scammers these days.

Why do you speak for all campaigns? You have described your personal experience, but many other people have very good results after participating in bounty campaigns

I guess you find it difficult to evaluate bounties because with what you said I can see that you just start doing bounties without proper analysis of the projects. Therefore in order not to be pissed off every time then take your time to analyse bounties before you join it.

Have promoted some campaigns as well that didn't turned out good. Somehow those who can spot scam ICO skipped checking those projects which is why I thought its going to be a good campaign to join. Some campaigns pay tokens but were not listed to any exchange for the longest time up to a year and a half.  Frustrating to see they still are doing it, this is why I get to join more on coins that is already listed or campaigns that pay BTCs.

i am a bounty hunter and already join here sience 2016 and i have a many feels here.
i think bounty campain now it is not too worth like before, but income is keep come.
the point here is don't you place your bounty job to be your main income but seccond job if you have a single time.
it is better.

If there are a lot of this happened to you then maybe the problem is not the scam projects but you?. It seems like you have a hard time diffirentiating good ICOs and obvious scam projects just like those one day shutdown case. There are also a lot of good bounties up there but dont come inside it without having any background check or youll repeat the history itself.

[rdluffy]

You have to choose better bounty campaigns
Prefer the ones who pays in BTC or ETH

There are lot of serious campaigns here in BitcoinTalk, but it's not easy to join, keep looking

I was too pissed about the bounties. Did a bounty for over 6 months but got nothing. One of the tokens given was listed for $90 total. $90 for 4 months of work. Decided to hodl and it went to $8. Then I left bounties overall.
Than I found some bitcoin paid bounties, though they are hard to find and low on the start, the pay gets increased as you stay longer.
Bitves generally have a slot left on each week end in the lowest tier.

Like you, I had a poor bounty year in 2018. Bitcoin's downtrend killed so many ICO projects, from good to bad. But my patient still brought me some sweet result, though not much. If you're still have faith in bounty, take a look on some IEO or STO bounties. Not sure if they're good ones but at least you're less likely to be scammed.

[Aqcizromencez]

2018 was a bad year for the development of ICO projects, most of them failed, in 2018 I got nothing from the prize campaign all the campaigns that I followed failed, I think that's caused by not knowing how to analyze a project because a good project will produce good results.

[pundit]

Bounty campaigns are no longer a profitable business now. Most of campaigns either not finished or do not pay bounties on time,even if bounty campaign is successfully finished, coins are distributed and launched on exchange still it remains under valued, so doing hard work for 2-3 months for a project promotion for less reward is not justified. Bounty participants need to choose projects carefully, not all projects are worthless there are some good projects as well which have solid projects with dedicated team, bounties reward can good from such projects.

I guess OP need to learn a lot when it comes to selection of bounty campaign. The truth here is that we have got some good campaign these days and i am still expecting more because dev are now bringing up good project that will eventually give good return.

[wumBowo]

yes it's really hard if we compare it back with 2017. Really need have some special criteria to join a bounty instead doing some blind register and hoping for getting
the payment

[VDraci]

The success of ICO in 2017 is what makes ICO a target for scammers ,that's why we have too Manny useless projects pumping out of no where almost everyday ,take bounties as a secondary job and promote only good new projects then you will be fine

Well 8 out of 10 are scam ICO and you were hit by one of the 8 scam, there are still good projects out there, but honestly you'll have to take them all to see who will come out the real, it has become a number game for bounty hunters and this is very time consuming, I burn out some months ago because I'm not getting good results.

I also felt the same way, I always chose the bounty campaign in detail now, especially the bcnex that was already running. try to follow the bcnex campaign, which is only a few weeks away. I think you won't be disappointed if you join this campaign.

[Pamadar]

Why do you speak for all campaigns? You have described your personal experience, but many other people have very good results after participating in bounty campaigns

There's people who enjoyed the results but mostly those who joined last year are really pissed because of how the market bring and the outcome results didn't favor any bounty holders, or again some might have good experience but still the numbers who succeed are much lesser than to those who are still waiting for any good news about the project.

No, I think you have chosen the wrong projects to join. Because there are still many bad projects being run in the crypto market. Our mission is not just to promote those projects. We need to spend a lot of time analyzing it before joining them in marketing.

[graffix]

Same story here. many Bounty campaigns not worth like before. Many campaigns dying or postponing their ICOs. I also have done 4 campaigns before this one. still, none of them moved forward. We have to be more aware when choosing campaigns than before. These days many scam projects and poor projects are alive.
