How can bounty hunters reclaim their respect?

[milewilda]

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?

Theres no solution to this one because Bounties isnt a right for you to make such rules.As a marketer you have agreed all the terms on the first place and you know the risk behind it right? On not being paid or being scammed on the end.Even how hard you do push up on claiming your rights or respect it wouldnt change at all.
This is why as a bounty hunter you should research as hard as you can on joining up projects which is pretty legitimate on your view than choosing blindly.

There's no way right now bounty hunter earn respect due to many reason just like dumping all the token at once when the reward has been distributed and Farming on the same bounty which it can affect also because he have the great power to dump all that would result the price crashing of the coins or token

even though the bounty dumps coins or tokens I think if a project with a good market can overcome this. because the coins earned by the bounty hunter are not much compared to the bonuses given to investors.

Bounty hunters never lost their respect, we just do not know how to enforce it, mots developers knows the value of hunters clearly and they all respect their role, but their cheating nature would not allow them to do the right thing, most developers have cheating nature except proven otherwise, it could even not be the direct owner of the project that is doing that, but it could be someone they have placed in charge of organizing the whole bounty campaign that is full of cheat.

I agree with you that we can all have our rules that will bind and protect all hunters, if we can all speak with one voice, and then we can achieve this. There is an adage in my language that says, whether the boss sells or not, the wages of the worker must be complete. They hired us to work, and should be ready to pay us, if they want our services, they have to pay us as we work, not that policy of paying at the end of the campaign, because we don’t submit our work at the end of the campaign too, we do that daily.

So hard to tell about the problem. Bounty hunter payment usually depend on how much Fund on ico can be collect, if you can't reach hard cap then there is big chance your reward can be lower than beginning pool, or bad case we didn't get anything

I think all bounty hunters already know that. the risk that we will get, get a little, get nothing, or get it but the results cannot be enjoyed. I think that has become commonplace in a bounty campaign.

The only solution I think is escrow and payment by cash (BTC, ETH). Because even if the project pays tokens to the bounty hunters, if the tokens are not listed or have very low value, the hunters won't get anything back.

The problem is that there are too many desperate bounty hunters out here. Even if a group of hunters decide to boycott projects in which the promoters are too greedy, there will be enough people around to take their place. The system is also heavily biased against the hunters. Nowadays most of the bounties are not paying, and the bounty hunters are helpless in such situations.

The only solution is weekly payments in Ethereum.

Anything else is dangerous as you might work for a project and never get paid, or get paid in useless coins that have no value.

Certain factors are really needed to be considered, this facts are reality inside the market even there's a lots of people who will join hands it will still filled by those remaining hunters who's willing to continue taking part of the projects.

This solution is indeed very good. But most projects don't want to do this. Even very rarely do we find projects that pay weekly in Ethereum. Because most projects also do not want to spend funds unless they issue tokens for bounty allocations. So this solution is good but difficult to realize.

It's natural to see bounty hunters get disrespected by these devs by not paying them as promised.

The only thing you should do is not to advertise a non-scam project in order for you to be respected. Just do your own research and it could make a difference.

Projects should realize that bounties are part of their marketing plan, to which they should allocate a certain amount of actual currency (digital or not). If bitcointalk devs had values and understood basic principles they wouldn't allow this. From my experience 90% of bounties are worthless. Is this what bitcointalk wants?

The promise of payment on their own token after months of work, should not be enough for us. Certainly they will find people or bots that will accept their silly terms, but what they will get in return? Messages like good project.

For this problem bounty managers should be also held accountable. Most bounty threads I read have terms like:
- If soft cap not reached you work for nothing,
- Terms and payments can be changed any time the team wants,
- Bounty can be prolonged from 4 weeks to 8 months or until some idiot actually buys a few coins, etc.

"I wish there is something like' we must pay bounty hunters,their payment first". I think this is imposible because no one can ensure bounty hunter will promote project until end, also after get paid bounty hunter can leave project without promote it.

Reclaim their respect? That's is so hard and that's why be bounty hunter only for side job

About this, I think what we really have no choice than to hope that whichever project we are promoting will actually turn out fine. Most of the time, those campaigning for a project are just too much compared to the amount of money allocated to bounty hunters. So, what will happen when such a situation arise? Bounty hunters will have to get little amount of money which to everyone might look ridiculous and annoying but if more allocation is awarded to us, the project might run into losses. So what exactly should we do? Let's just hope for the best at all time.

[Goodvalony]

the best solution to this is to join bounty platforms that have values. some platforms have rules and regulations guiding their site and they stand on such rules. it is only here in bitcointalk that hunters are at the messy of their some managers who does what ever they deem fit to hunters.

do you think we can scrub the bad ones out of bounty hunting?  That will be a very difficult work to do or I do say rather impossible.  The only solution became for the team to lock bounty tokens and release them in batches

[Jaggi90]

If project is good and grows as per planned by team , the most happy will be bounty hunters but if there are scammed projects, then obviously bounty Hunters are disrespected. Only good projects can reclaim the respect.

[aji567]

it is necessary to filter information for bounty hunters and be clever to choose projects that are being worked on. the bounty allocation should be above 5% and that will make the project really work real.
