Loosing my mind as a bounty/airdrop hunter

[Fluxtorrence9]

What is going on with crypto space lately? ICO finally has a better solution which is IEO and it works but what about airdrops and bounties? Right under our nose we get cheated not from scam or fake projects but projects that are already listed and working e.g

Bitsdaq candy swap turned 100:1 bqqq token.
X-block don't even bother about promoters payouts anymore and they are trading already,if my calculation is correct their token already did 1.6x.
Decimated cheat airdrop hunters by later forcing us to buy 5$ worth of DIO token to be able to get our airdrop rewards.
Bounties pays 5$ for promoting their project .
New projects that are never listed on exchanges are dumped through DEX after tracking on etherscan.
No KYC confirmed bounties forced KYC on hunters after bounty ends .

The fact is bounty hunters are not been taken seriously anymore,its absolute rubbish and something must be done about it ,Hunter's real use case is to create awareness for there projects ,that is what makes us important and we shouldn't be treated like we are nothing

It is the reason why one should not rely his living on bounties. The time of 2017 has ended and the era of bounties and airdrop is about to end as well, you should look for a better source of living and don't fully rely to bounties. You have known it well and understand the risks upon signing up any project today. If it is not a scam then they won't pay, if they pay, the pay would be low. And if you receive the payment in tokens, dump will start after the listing.

[Jpti]

This is a bitter reality bounty hunters are facing in the market of cryptocurrency. The reality is like bounty hunters are left behind right after bounty campaign for a project is over, their tokens are locked for a specified time, some projects pay them little amount of rewards than stated, they are scammed by not rewarding them. But some projects have been so nice.

I just want to add that even before the boom of airdrops and bounties, this space already have risks. From the bounties being only in the internet which most hunters could not go to the headquarters of the project to directly complain their sentiments in their participation. To the bounty managers scamming the bounty hunters and project managers. To me we should already accepted the risks in this space.

It is very risky for bounty hunters, investors are safe on some projects, but bounty hunters are not, they are not paying bounty hunters on time, they are delaying payment and worst of all after they sent their rewards, they lock their token like what Dexage and Liker did.

Not completely over, I think the bounty era will not end because the project still needs bounty hunters to promote their projects. Just because the IEO does not mean the bounty era is over, there will be many projects that will follow the IEO and they compete with each other, of course they need bounty hunters to raise their funds.

[ONEnergy]

Looks like you're just bad hunter:)

Many opportunists on the market. Just check NRG, BOMB, NUKE ... 1k USD + with just those three of course if you get them in time.

It only makes sense if there is something left worthy for promotion and still it has, but yet we need to do further research before we found it.
To be honest, I'm a bounty hunter before and everything went good until such a time that the market flooded already of scam and fake project which losing my courage to participate with them. It supposed to be not like that if there is a group of people who have their job to stop the fake project but sad to say that, there is nothing, only our own detection.

[anatolij.shishkin]

Yes, everyone does not care. If you still do not understand. Most projects are rogues without a future. That's all. Decent projects now just work directly, they do not need advertising. Or they order it directly from reputable experts. Do tons of work for $ 5 no one will. Soon, this topic will disappear.

[NeuroticFish]

The fact is bounty hunters are not been taken seriously anymore,its absolute rubbish and something must be done about it ,Hunter's real use case is to create awareness for there projects ,that is what makes us important and we shouldn't be treated like we are nothing

There are far too many bounty hunters. Most of them jump in for any job, no matter how low is the pay or how obviously scam is the project or team.
There were bad paying projects in the past too. There were scams in the past too. But everything has exploded in 2017. And as long as others will accept the jobs in such conditions, nothing will change, I'm afraid.

I'm not sure if the forum could impose a "minimum wage" especially as we talk about tokens that may worth 100x more or 100x less at the moment of payment. And the forum policy is basically no interference. All that can be done is to fight scams, which does happen.

[pundit]

Yes bounty hunters are being cheated by every new project. In 2017 income from bounty campaigns much much better and one could have thought of adopting bounty campaigns promotions as their full time profession but now the time has gone and bounty campaigns are not a profitable business anymore. On an average out of 10 projects only 1 project is paying to bounty hunters and that too a small amount. Many projects turns scam after collecting investors money and many projects are just delaying their products. There should be some forum for bounty hunters rights.

[Natalim]

Bounty hunters make income based on the market situation as well, if market is bad, bounty hunters might not earn good.
The fact that the tokens that are paid are based in the trading value once in exchange, that would say that bounty hunters are not enjoying the value of their reward as most altcoins now that are launch in trading sites have down more than 50% of it's ICO price.

[rdluffy]

Guys, it's up to you to choose better projects to invest your time, if nobody joins the project, the owners and devs will need to offer better choices for all of you
But is part of the game to receive in tokens and wait for the price increase in the future

[YOSHIE]

You need to take a break, and do what you have to do for your daily needs,
ICO, Bounty, does not guarantee you can make your family happy.
If I may suggest, you should switch to investing in crypto such as Bitcoin, with sufficient capital, so the results can be pretty good,
Don't rely on Bounty or ico.
Try to focus on investing or trading.

[max6575]

the chance on developer works with submission of resource on dax gives as one on confinement as investors might be with the higher level of confidence as referring unit of funds on drawing with distribution of resource on investment.

[Aldrinx00]

Bitsdaq swap ratio is 300:1 and it's a real scam, they fooled people who participate on their candy event and will just them a penny. We can't do anything just focus on finding legit bounties that will pay us good amount in the end.

[TheICE007]

It is very disheartening to see such reward after much effort is been put in. The truth is that most hunters see bounty as their full time and as such, if anything goes wrong, they get affected so much, I think bounty hunters should Channel some strength else where and also be very selective when choosing a bounty to participate.

[MUG1WARA]

this is all a reality and we must be able to accept it all, bounty is no longer a source of permanent income because it's right like you, most only give a value of $ 7 - $ 20 to support their project for several months

[Erickan]

That is the rule of the market, in a certain time, the market will follow a certain trend and the crypto market is not outside that rule. Bounty and airdrop is associated with the boom of ICO and currently the ICO market is almost dead, so never take bounty and airdrop as the main income. Just join bounty and airdrop when you have free time, don't put all your effort into it.

[Folajuwon56]

As a bounty hunter, it's a sad thing to earn nothing or little after which much effort has been put in a campaign, and that's why I will advice bounty hunters to get back up job because the era we are today it's nothing to write home about with Cryptocurrency.

[xenomorphe1]

Bitsdaq was maybe one of the most hyped airdrop but now BXBC to BQQ is only 300:1. Doing KYC only gave you near 0.10$. That's a shame.
Airdrops now are worthless. But i can understand them a little as they don't want the value of their coins to be dumped too hard.
But for bounty hunters and airdrop participants, it is like doing our job for free. New ICO/IEO companies are like that now.
Doing KYC doesn't change anything as they give worthless coins. Only very few ICO/IEO are still good to bounty/airdrop participants.
We hope to be able to participate in an airdrops like Ontology, but it doesn't turn like we want. Just continue our hard work and maybe one day it will pay.

[coinholic]

When we decided to take the role of bounty hunters, we knew the risks that are involved. If you'll think about it, we really don't have the right to make demands as bounty hunters because we knew from the very start what we are getting into. So whatever happens during and after the campaign period, we just need to suck it all in!

[matveyeff]

The time of bounty hunters will come with the revival of the ICO. Now there is no need for bounty hunters, since the market can only be said to only return to normal after a prolonged downtrend. There may be better times when in addition to IEO successful ICOs will appear.

[Atang Sulaeman]

why even if you lose your mind about being a bounty hunter and airdrop,
all of our successes and failures that know it and feel it because of our decision to take it,
don't ever give up because of the results we ourselves enjoy.

[Apes]

just relax, when bounty hunters are left out by the IEO, don't despair. they may have found a more effective method or solution for crowdfunding. remain confident that they will still need bounty hunters to promote their projects. products without promotions will be bland.

[delarossa]

Getting here knowing the good bounty project is so difficult. I often see many project has been reached softcap, and their money is really much. But i feel the bounty is not comprable with our hardwork.

[Simple_Plan]

It's a misconception that many people consider doing bounties/airdops as a job. In 2017 or earlier, doning bounties can bring you a a lot of money but it no longer since market's down trend in 2018. In fact, doing bounties bring you nothing more than money: no academic skills, no relationships, no friends... It's better and wiser taking doing bounties as a part time job besides a professional day job.

[cribusen]

The big era of bounty hunters has come to an end. Unfortunately, there are no more projects from where you can get 7k USD for twitter campaign, but I believe that with the next big BTC jump, this era will be back.

[Tipstar]

ICO meant free money as they raised any amount they desired for any project but today it's difficult for even the legit project to reach their softcap.
That's why many project just ignore the bounty participants in order to make better profit.
That's why I always prefer the projects that pays in bitcoin than any other tokens.

[Ken_terrance]

Its really scary what is going on with bounty project this days and its already killing my motivation for bounty hunting but since its all free money I will still give a short ,I still find it hard yo believe that bounty hunting days are over

[vindermarch]

Everyone have a diffrent problem about bounty, and i think you know the risk if you want to be a bounty hunter. Didn't get payment, ICO project didn't reach softcap and scam is a risk for bounty hunter.
Bounty hunter still the most important part for ICO project to promote their platform.

[DDante]

Embrace the risks involved in bounties ,there is no greater good that won't have bad side, if all bounties are paying many and no single bad project this forum will be full of spammers and many will leave there job behind and join crypto full time but its a challenge you must be willing to take on ,don't stop fighting it might worth it in the end

Then stop joining their project. They will eventually learn their lesson when once everyone starts to avoid them. They won't have any promoters which in turn will make it difficult for them to promote their project. This will not only teach them a nice lesson, but will also force them to give out better rewards to attract good bounty hunters.
Or just stop wasting your time on these shitty ICOs and do something more productive  .

[BayAngelo]

there is a way but you need to walk hard. honeslty. the way out is to focus and build your account on bitcointalk. if you walk your way to a senior member or hero level. i gurantee you that you are made. there are 100% bounties here on this platform that pays real bitcoin.

[khimer_rangers]

yes, bitsdaq makes many promoters disappointed with their decision to swap 300: 1 I heard for their supporters in the future there will be a better ratio, but trust is a very expensive price so it's hard to believe in bitsdaq whatever they promise.

[hdclover]

If someone is doing bounty hunting without a formal job then he must be high on weeds. Nobody in this world should waste their valuable time in bounty projects. Your first preference should always be job. Bounty must be done in your spare time. Not the other way around.

Those are some of the reasons why I stopped doing ICO campaign, it's not worth it anymore and you can really lose your minds, imagine the long months of working on the project and a month long wait for the distribution if they will ever distribution it, sometimes the coin is useless you wasted so many months.

[mikelsmith2020]

It's always our risk that's why it's important that we should know all the rules and general information about the bounty where we will be joining like how does it work and our requirements to be paid off, not all in here are serious most of the project just wanted to promote their project because to get attention to investor and scam them and so our efforts and time will be into waste.

No risk, no gain.

It is correct that many bounties are not paying to bounty hunters after their work but the game is not over.2017 was the least year for hunters but still, I am getting bounty coins which have good value.

Those who advertise for projects now are no longer respected as before. They despise us and we cannot do them and can only wait.
I have been oppressed many times in different projects. I decided to study trading and investment, I will not let those foolish people oppress me again.
we should also give up this job. We are taking more advantage of providing KYC to receive tokens.

Yes, they have no benefits or contracts that have been signed so they can't chase the company if ever they will run from the bounty hunters. The risk is too high so it's much better to think of this space as an incentive instead of bread and butter. This is the reality and most of the bounty hunters that are thinking they can be rich with it until now, sorry but you need to accept the fact and you need to move on because there's no guarantee with bounties.

These kind of complaints are mounting, even if the project looks legit, there is no guaranty anymore for bounty hunters, they will not distribute the bounty, they will delay it they will lock it and worst of all they will ask you to deposit first before they give you their share, what kind of people are these peoples, very abusive.

I quite support this, we need to let the projects and bounty managers understand that we need a good pay for campaign. They get a good pay for their management and fraud even the bounty hunters. I am more disappointed in bounty hunters glorify and even fight on telegram group at any hunter that show the dissatisfaction at the low reward from bounties. Harmony show a high level of disrespect to bounty hunter paying 15k for over 3 month for hunter and now locking for another 3 months. quite unfair but one will be disappointed when bounty hunters come against you if u say anything, they make hunters sound hungry and desperate. I bet we will start having good reward bounties soon, the confidence is high and every new project will want to exploit it.

[Indai24]

You'll be shocked that bounty hunters are required to do kyc after the campaign ends, were in fact in the first place they never mentioned that there will be kyc in the end of the campaign. Now, you'll be forced to do kyc for you to get your token, which is unfair. I really hate kyc, but it leaves me no choice.

Bounty hunters help in promoting their projects. After all their effort, they earned nothing. This is totally annoying and such a waste of time and effort for the bounty hunters.

[Fredomago]

no bounty hunter no party. I have been a bounty hunter for 2 years here and this year indeed payments and money earned from bounties are very little or no value with our efforts so far. but I am still happy because being a bounty hunter only loses my time while to be investors will lose money. indeed trying to make money in Crypto has a risk and you must be prepared to accept it.

You need to be ready whatever results that will show up and like what each of hunters commonly get the results is not favorable for this time but who knows the next time you join in and you participate with good projects that will deliver every time that's been consumed will be paid off.

[valuater]

I did not follow bitsdaq, but I was grieving to hear that, but since the ico era began to be crowded with things last night it has often happened, but for swap issues that have hurt the bounty hunter this is the first time, because the previous ico project if swapped the results will remain the same even when entering the market is not too experiencing price changes and I mean most of them only cheat on allocations for example if the allocation of 1 million tokens when the bounty ends changes to 100-200 K tokens

[Altryist]

It is correct that many bounties are not paying to bounty hunters after their work but the game is not over.2017 was the least year for hunters but still, I am getting bounty coins which have good value.

Yes, many projects turn out to be a scam, some simply cut back payments. But still there are projects that make a good profit, if you are not greedy and sell tokens on time, you can earn good money.

I am a bounty hunter and I also often follow various airdrops that are provided ... but I have never experienced a problem that you described in your thread ... because I am always appreciated by the manager of bounties and airdrops that I follow .. and I always get the payment ... and now I am following ISKRA (CCOH) payments are given every 2 weeks ... and I receive the payment on time ... then in my opinion if you want to follow the bounty, then you have to learn it first so that you are not deceived .. and if you want to join airdrop then follow the airdrop provided by the exchange place or the market ... because there is definitely a payment. and you will feel appreciated ..

[CryptoIyke]

Very disheartening, seeing a lot of bounties and Airdrops doing this, I have a similar experience with Vindax, they airdropped 50VDD coin and now it is required to buy 1000VDD to be able to withdraw the airdrop token or use it as trade fee.

[shadowduck]

I also participated in a few bounty campaigns in which it was necessary to transfer some amount in the ETH to get project tokens - this is not very correct

[carrigan]

I think it has been from a long time ago that participating in bounty will only give you two choices: get the legit rewards or scams. And, for the rule and regulation, BM and team have their right to change or add the rule and regulation during the bounty or when it ends. There have been many bounty programs that announce all bounty participants must follow KYC, fill the forms, and other new regulation after the bounty ends. And this is very annoying. But, we must do that. No matter the reason, if you want the reward, do the tasks.

[Iyanu14]

Nowadays bounty hunters aren't taking serious again, when you work and get paid you should count yourself lucky. I think all bounty tokens should be escrow by btt admins henceforth because team can't be trusted.

[Lamba.Mylatka.Koks.]

I think that those days when hunters received decent money in the past. Now many services have automated the hunting process. A lot of scam.

[dearbesz1219]

You are completely free to leave the system. We do not need any bounty hunter that is still complaining, in the end it means more tokens for us, who stay and will continue supporting crypto projects. 

[triangles]

indeed, now I think the bounty is different many projects always play cheats when the distribution starts one of which was a while ago I saw someone complaining about a bounty vanta who had to trade first to get a reward, and in my opinion the next bounty campaign would a lot of this kind of thing.

[NeverSop]

Unfortunately, we work on this ecosystem and depend on it. The value of bounty / airdrop is proportional to the market conditions and situation. It is still valuable, but not much and the process of finding really quality projects is very difficult. need more awareness and other factors. therefore, in order to ensure a part of the value received, hunters need to be determined to eliminate scam projects and call against them.

No one ever cared about the bounty hunters. They're a true scum of this forum who can't afford to get a job in real life. I'm happy the system has changed so people can finally wake their lazy asses up an get a real job.

[bittraffic]

Time to bond all together and not promote any of the projects unless they pay  upfront of escrow the BTC funds. I understand what bounty hunters are are complaining because I have been promoting a project I thought that can help the crypto community when the project is released. Wake up one day the team wasn't doing anything to make it even to an exchange.

Team members didn't even thought of hiding, all they  do is just pretend  they  are up to continue the  project.

[ven7net]

Sorry you are right. Bounty members are experiencing hard times and all this is due to several factors. As the ICO market and cryptocurrency increased, there is not enough money for all. Moreover, many are now more interested in the top cryptocurrencies, and not in the ICO. Because of this, such bad fees and delays in payments. The fact that the factors of deception by admins have become frequent is true, they just feel impunity and ignore their own conditions. It can be noted that the bounty market is not very stable and is not a recommendation for earnings, as the opportunity to stay deceived is very great.

[viananda2525]

We all know at least one or two token name that didn't paid and lock for long time. In time any projects don't paid bounty hunters, fear to dump but already all dumped.

it is be our risk working in bounty campaign.we only loss our time and energy if bounty manager or developers team didn't pay us.but we should not worry, another campaign will pay us more than we expected.

its true, we as a hunters doing well to promoted their project, and after that project collect some of their goal, or when they bounty program come to the end, they will change the bounty rule or cut off the rewards allocation with various execuse or the worst case they dont credit the bounty hunters.

Know that you are not the first one to complain about this. Some have even made suggestions on how to go about it but it looks like it's to no avail. There's nothing much that can be done about this unless the hunters themselves stop joining low quality campaigns especially those that has no escrow.

[waitforme]

There are many ICO or IEO projects that do not choose help from bounty hunters. Many people say that bounty hunters significantly affect the price because after the bounty hunter receives a Token will sell it all right after that, causing its price to drop sharply. So many projects did not value bounty hunters.

Bisdaqq swap was 300: 1 ,not 100:1 which is pathetic at any rate. Most airdrops are worthless and share waste of time. If you plan to do any, it sounds reasonable to focus on those are being hosted on exchanges. Latokens hosts a variety of those, rewards typically less than 50$.

[andrearz]

I have not participated as a bounty participant in an ICO project for almost 2 years because all this time what I have done is paid inappropriately and not even paid, the participants promoted the ICO project but there was no good feedback on the bounty participants.

[Corer]

You just described the life of we bounty hunters, its really annoying and displeasing I must say. Ans just today a project that has been campaigned for, they locked their token for 3 months and some % to be released every month till the 3 month and today been the 3rd month we all woke up to noticed that everyone's acc has been wiped and all tokens gone. This is but a few but we will keep surviving

[Almasani]

What is going on with crypto space lately? ICO finally has a better solution which is IEO and it works but what about airdrops and bounties? Right under our nose we get cheated not from scam or fake projects but projects that are already listed and working e.g

Maybe some people will think so. And assume that bounty hunters have no benefit at all with them launching their tokens through the IEO. But most think upside down. Prize hunters are very useful. Their site is widespread throughout the world, and they are talked about in various languages. When there are newcomers who want to invest. They are no stranger to their project. This means that they have got information from local sites first.

I think we all know that this is part of the risk. Never blame anyone including bounty hunters or bounty managers. The ICO project has lost its fans, probably due to the number of SCAMs. I hope we always think positively about the developments.

[Baihaki Khaizan]

every job has obvious risk and it is relatively. for me every something already done so it is a full responsibility of me and will not blame anyone. here everyone can make decisions, persist or give up the right to everyone. very simple.

[microbb8]

I've been doing bounty for years. There are no oppressed, all on a voluntary basis. C appearance IEO nothing has changed, just another name. Hamsters no longer want to invest in ICO.

[www.CryptoAirdrop.app]

Not completely over, I think the bounty era will not end because the project still needs bounty hunters to promote their projects. Just because the IEO does not mean the bounty era is over, there will be many projects that will follow the IEO and they compete with each other, of course they need bounty hunters to raise their funds.

We can't agree more. Furthermore, a new era for bounty hunters and airdroppers will rise when security tokens times begin...

[Mysteryla]

There are project teams that just deceive and cheat bounty hunters. They make promises, but fail to fulfill what they have promised.
Sometimes, before bounty hunter would be paid, the team themselves would have almost sold all they had and there might not be no more volume left for any trade by the time hunters have been paid.

[Kay94]

Every investment I must say is risky. You need to put that in your mind. There are some bounties in cryptocurrency now you may think its genuine but its a scam. This actually worries the bounty hunters very much.

therefore doing research first is a step that should have been done, but I don't think they will be easy to invest their money in a project that has no reputation and as a bounty hunter at least they participate in a bounty program

I agree with you.. Our efforts from sharing and promoting about the projects we partcipated through bounty campaign is most of the time being neglected and its like we are done with our work but we did not get paid for our efforts and time spent for doing all the tasks for us as a bounty hunter. I do not feel that we are being compensated with our work and it started mid part of last year. It's teally hard to earn now through bounty campaigns and I really feel sad about it.

[Dobolen]

As Bounty hunters are certainly not easy and full of risks. In the year 2018 to date, there are not many projects that can be successful. I myself get a lot of unauthorized projects, although many projects are using KYC. And using KYC for a Bounty project, it does not guarantee that the project can be successful. That we are already aware of many false projects, so we must be careful in determining the project.

[rodel caling]

It is the reason why one should not rely his living on bounties. The time of 2017 has ended and the era of bounties and airdrop is about to end as well, you should look for a better source of living and don't fully rely to bounties. You have known it well and understand the risks upon signing up any project today. If it is not a scam then they won't pay, if they pay, the pay would be low. And if you receive the payment in tokens, dump will start after the listing.

Sorry mate do not be offended we knows and also know bounties is one of the most profitable source to make money and yes a lot of bounty project are getting envolve in scam but until now a lot of bounty project are give better profits, I suggest those people want to invest in bountry choose bounty with have reputable manager herein bitcointalk and learn the project well before investing or participating. For airdrop I telling prangly didn't participate because It's wasting for me.

Perhaps bounty hunters have ceased to benefit projects and therefore no one wants to pay for the work done. The bounty hunters are also to blame for what is happening because they have tried to cheat the projects in many ways.

[SistaFista]

Because there are many hunters cheating in many campaigns in the past, the campaign has become not effective anymore.
Many new ICO projects prefer not to running bounty campaign anymore, and choose other way to promote their project.
IEO is one of the way to promote their project and attracting investors to investing.
