How can bounty hunters reclaim their respect?

[Ibizugbe1]

Payment can be requested in 50% stable coin and %50 native tokens, when hunters become strict on the rules of engagement, things will fair well. And BM should look for every clever way to catch and reveal bounty cheaters for they are epidemics in this social platform.

As far as I am concerned, I don't think there is a way bounty hunters can could be the determinants of which bounty project is to be promoted and which is not to be promoted.That is not our own to determine. What I think we can do as bounty hunters in order not to be wasting our time and resources in promoting project is not productive is that we should carefully look for projects that are of good repute and with future prospect to partake of. There are still good bounty projects up till now that are rewarding their members well. Not only in that regard can we enjoy profits that we desire, we can also limit the rate at which we dump the tokens for little money. Whatever has taken our time and energy should pay us in returns dearly. Let us learn to participate in projects that are promising.

I really don't think it is possible for bounty hunters to come together and create a set of rules to follow and people will follow it, because we are too much and their are people who really need money, so they are ready to promote any project just to make the money. The best solution is for every hunter to research well about any project to see it is legit and have good reputation before promoting it.

Bounty hunting can be a mess for the projects involved. They have to deal with so many cheats, bad quality posts, then the cheats complaining about not getting their share, and so on. It's a whole mess.

You are being mistreated because you are greedy and choose to work for scraps. I don't see a way out of this. You'd have to require devs to pay you in bitcoin or one of the existing top 20 cryptocurrencies and not work for their tokens but there's so many poor people on this forum who will work for any amount of money even for empty promises.
Bounty hunting is mostly dead.

The only way Bounty hunters can reclaim their respect is only through a union which can possible sanction or approve bounty programmes with a signed agreement with various projects. But then this is not achievable because the cryptocurrency market is decentralized Nd everyone is free to operate as he or she wishes

It is true that we have lost that special attention we normally get before from project owners.. This owing to quite some myriads of reason, of which I will only highlight just 2. Firstly, so many latest projects struggle to reach targets,  which in sharp contrast to projects 2 years ago clearly shows a downtrend in the situation of sales and target actualization..Thus,  frustration sets in which gradually sure will lead to a failed promise.

Secondly,  it's  no news that bounty hunters often time sell their rewards too cheap.

Some projects have been successful, listed on the coinmarket but still haven't paid for bounty hunters, such as Buddy project! Despite that, bounty hunters with large numbers cannot control it. We have not included spam, bot. I think what bounty hunters do for a long time and the amount received is too little, not in accordance with their effort and time.

[ElmedoRator]

In 2017, the amount of bounty hunters received is very high, at that time the number of bounty hunters is now many times now. Now that projects offer bonus programs, they limit the pool to an entire campaign, imagine $ 10,000 for more than 5000 participants, very little money. However, the project does not guarantee success in the future, of course paying for the bounty hunter will not happen if the project fails.

They adjusted maybe because they know with big bounty it will only make the project to suffer especially when the bounty hunters dump.
In addition, it's not only them are seeing this possibility but their potential investors as well and they will not invest if they see there's a big allocation for the bounty.

Time flies so fast, there's a changes that we need to embrace, I don't see bounty hunters are disrespected here, they will only be disrespected if they will not pay for the effort.

[JPSelzer]

If the project has enough funds, they can order advertising. I don't think they treat bounty hunters with respect. Perhaps when it will change and the project team will cooperate with bounty hunters, but so far it does not work as it should.

[aioc]

I created this post to hear from you bounty hunters ,the way some developers treat bounty hunters this days is very bad , they know that many bounty hunters  needed money so badly so they take us so cheap ,I wish bounty hunters can somehow co-op to promote projects that bind by our own rules.

I wish there is something like' we must pay bounty hunters,their payment first before anything else',the same way they take exchanges payment serious .

Is there any solution for this?
How can we make them see that without bounty Hunters their projects awareness will be so low to none?

I'm not one of the bounty hunters that need money so badly, if you keep telling that bounty hunters are like beggars and they need money badly, they will treat us like beggars, we are professionals and we can do to make the ICO popular and can leave anytime when there are bad reports about the ICO that we are promoting.

[AlaEhBTC]

In the world of crypto bounties, some of them think that bounty hunters are profit hungry people and that is the reason why they are joining bounties. We need to have some kind of security so that we will not be taken for granted.

The network we are in is decentralized, so this is not possible, there is no organization or ruling body that can put such laws into effect.

What should be done I think is for bounty managers to make it compulsory to the project to pay a specified amount of money to them(in the projects coins/tokens), such funds will be kept(escrowed)till the project is over or should in case the campaign owners decide to make an exit scam, this will really go a long way to reduce scam activities as well as reassure bounties hunters that they are definitely not working for free.

This topic is very important indeed. Earlier, when the ICO market only began to gain momentum, the participants of the bounty were worth their weight in gold, that is, the payment was really decent and timely. Now we see disrespect for the work of the participants of the bounty, both on the part of some bounty menjers and the administrators of the ICO. I personally know a few examples when the administrators themselves answered me that you earned too much, this is wrong. That is, they themselves came up with the conditions and refused them themselves at the time of payment. Also, very often I hear accusations against participants of generosity that it is the participants of generosity who reduce the price of tokens and coins on the stock exchanges, although I myself have already seen many times how early investors and funds did this. All this and more shows the attitude of project administrators and managers to bounty participants and it is not very good. How can you solve this? I think there is one way, is to create a site where to report such problems and talk about those who are deceiving the participants of the bounty.

[pawanjain]

Firstly, the payment method for most of the bounties is the respective tokens of the project. So whether they are paying in advance or after the campaign doesn't matter since the token will be valuable only when it is listed on an exchange. Surely getting paid in advance would be a benefit if the token is already listed on an exchange but that isn't the case for most of the projects. Secondly, most of the bounties these days require KYC to be done which is again a burden. So getting paid in advance wont help you if you are not in compliance with the KYC procedure.

Without bounty hunters? I think their project will not promote to the market as easy as bounty hunters will do . Project manager will pay for expensive advertisement unlike what the small amount of salary that they give to the bounty hunter to promote their project. I think bounty hunter will deserved to respect and to appreciate their work by giving right amount of salary.

[ridhobagus2308]

I see where you got that thought from. i think its because bounty hunter has been known as dumper. in telegram so many bounty hunter keep asking about stupid question or asking about question that they already answer even its not long ago, its getting repetitive and its annoying them. some of bounty hunter is just to lazy to read and do research. i think we can try to remaind the developer that bounty is the place where they got their community and investor, also bounty hunter is the token holder, and a lot of project investor come from bounty hunter, including myself.

Yes.
Escrow accounts are already used in paying bounty campaigns, but these are isolated cases.

there is even a dexico project that is indeed escrow in paying hunter bounties. Payments are sent to all participants but then the team all disappears without any news. then there is no escrow guarantee or not.

Well, so you can put forward a proposal that payments take place in Bitcoin or Ethereum. Many on this forum will support your undertaking.

it is already happening. Many projects already pay in ethereum or bitcoin, but there are two problems: payments are very small or the number of participants is very limited.
