Pissed at bounty campaigns since late 2018

[Delilonia1]

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.

I think it wont be nice if you give a generalized statement like this. I am not disputing the fact that your bounty  campaigns of several months turned out to be the way you described it. But not all bounty campaigns are bad. It's not all of them that cannot meet up with their responsibilities like the one you participated in. There are very good ones you can participate in and you will never regret it.

Scammers are invading ICO world because of the 2017 bullrun and they are aware of how many ICOs became successful so that's why we have many fake projects ,you need to be more vigilante when choosing ICO projects now

[Ken_terrance]

You choose wrong bounty projects ,take your the and learn how to pick good projects only ,make sure the project has professional teams with past experience about crypto so that they can actually deliver what they promise

[Twinkledoe]

Their are lots of bounties that didnt pay or ignore to pay the hunters this is one of the bitter truth of bounty hunting. My advice is just look for a BM that has good record on choosing a bounty

That is the hard truth of bounty programs especially if the project is paying with their own tokens. You have no idea if they will ever hit in the exchanges or not or will be abandoned by the devs later on. It is really better to join bounty programs with trusted managers here and they are very few of them. If you want an assurance of payment, apply for those trusted ones even if the payment is low comparable to others. At least you know, you are getting paid each week.

I also ever have such bad experiences of joining the bounty projects. Start from being scammed, very long-time extended ICO, and also other non-clear project development and turning into shitcoins after listing. However, those really make me aware that I must learn more about choosing the good bounty.

The problem with your rant is that it can come across as it the problem is you, and that you're just picking bad projects. I give you the benefit of the doubt though.

I think it's just better to find a real life job and invest part of your earnings.

The thing is, in an ICO everything is potential and may go either way.  There are also promising ICO that had been successful in their campaign but failed to pay the bounty participant.  One of them I think is Tokenpay.  You will feel how OP feels when you do bounty here.  It is quite funny how you tell something to OP when you yourself had not experience this stuff.  Though I agree that it is best have a real life job.

it depends on your analysis and how you review bounties before joining. you need to take your time and review any bounties before partaking in it. these days, the bull market rekindled some dead project back to life while others are gone. one bounty i joined ended yesterday without paying participants claiming that if softcap is not reached, they will not pay anyone.

People used to earn their life just from joining bounty campaigns in here but lately no one gets a penny. Since the market is getting better i see many people started to join bounty campaigns again. I honestly don’t expect much but still hope we all can get some good rewards from now on.

Well, not all bounty programs are like that. Maybe you lack on reviewing things about the bounties before you participated in. There's still bounties out there that also gives legit rewards.

[Gabah56]

if we think we will surely arise in our hearts upset. because I myself also suffered the same fate. that is, the bounty prize is not distributed for reasons of scam and so on. something like that that causes some members to be very worried about buying a new altcoin. for fear that if it is not sold, buy it on the market.

This happen because most bounty campaign are useless or turning to scam after the end of their token sale but if you are lucky and finding a good bounty campaign you will earn a good profit by your hardwork and effort.

Indeed I see it scamy on those times that most of the campaigns offered a lot of promising platform, but unfortunately it went failure and disappointments. Some we're lucky with good projects during those days but only for those legitimate ones.

I would say Bounty hunting as not been the way I would have pictured it. I have really been working hard doing tasks for project. I am certain something big is going to happen for me before the end of the year. I will advise you not to be discouraged but keep on persisting and Bounty hunting might end up putting a big smile on your face. And try as much as possible to do a lot of bounties.

[cryptoblazter]

The one year bearish last 2018 had really trimmed down the list of ICOs, leaving the good ones out there. The trend has been ckntinuing until now wherein for an ICO to be successful, it must be really good. This is the reason why some bounty campaigns failed.

[bettercrypto]

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

Definitely yes! We should not be upset in all bounty campaigns because many of them are successfully launched and gave a lot of penny in bounty hunters. However, in 30 campaigns, I have joined I cannot deny the fact that only few of them succeed. Most of them turn into scam projects.

[tracyhayley]

Yes, bounty from late 2018 are very different with bounty in 2017. Most of them are scammed us. It's hard to choose between the scam bounty and the legit one. Their project, whitepaper, etc are almost the same.

[olabiyijummy02]

Very few bounties have live up to expectations since the middle of year 2018.
Some bounty managers default on agreements of bounty budget, while some just refuse to pay bounty hunters. For some other bounties that have paid hunters the projects have either refused to list on a reputable exchange or refused to list all together. Only a few bounties have performed well in that period till this moment.
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is build on trust and bounty managers should stop taking hunters for granted.

Actually I'm not criticizing the OP at all. I'm basically saying that his problems might be legit, definitely legit for him, but that many people won't really sympathize because they will just see it as though he's just not good at what he does.

[Fesatmas]

I also mostly join in the bounty in 2018, it ends with scamers and the results are not maximal what we do, but in the year must be right to choose the good ones and in my opinion the IEO will be better.
