Loosing my mind as a bounty/airdrop hunter

[jack8989]

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

No KYC confirmed bounties forced KYC on hunters after bounty ends .

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.

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 ..

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.

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.
