Hello guys, I'm not sure if anyone is ever going to read this since it's been more than 3 years but I just found this topic and I genuinely wanted to give a full update on everything that happened since then.
First of all, while we have kept the Bountyhive.io website up and will be keeping it up most likely indefinitely, we have done so as a memory because we had a lot of fun building that and a lot of cool people we've met during our time building the platform. The platform will not be moving forward as it is, but it has been replaced by something which we think is considerably better.
Second of all, to answer some of the comments in this previous thread (I know it's been 3 years but I just saw this). You were right, over time the quality of projects reduced. And honestly you guys have no idea how much we've fought to protect users because of this. If anyone still remembers Kora Network, they literally refused to pay the bounty and we spent about $20K on a PR campaign all over the internet, published all of it, records etc etc and then they tried to pay us less etc and we refused entirely until they paid out the entire bounty and we paid that to users.
Anyway, I'm here to say that while we did wind Bountyhive down, we only did that because we also realised some of the critique that we were often getting and wanted to build something cooler. And we did just that I think. We built HYVE. HYVE was launched in ±Oct 2020. Since then it's been listed on exchanges like Kucoin, Gate, MEXC, Bittrex etc, and we've gone through several platform interactions and are still updating it constantly.
HYVE is as you might have guessed, a better version of Bountyhive. First of all, everything is escrowed through smart-contracts. Second of all, there are no untradeable tokens currently being used on HYVE, nor do we plan on doing so in the future. HYVE only accepts about ±70 tokens as payment methods for tasks/jobs and offers right now but we're trying to quickly add support for all major tokens, i.e. top 500. We also support 4 blockchains: ETH, BSC, Polygon and Fantom. Soon we will add a 5th one. This means you can create a task/job/offer etc on each one of those chains individually as we've deployed our smart-contract infra on all of them.
To be perfectly honest, there's still an incredible amount of work left to be done even with HYVE, we're now working on v3 of the app which should be live in ±6-8 months and will include a ton of new things including POAP certificates and accreditations, reviews, a better chat system, lower fees, more chains, more tokens, a simplified UI and some other stuff as well.
Anyway I honestly just wanted to come here and say I'm really happy that Bountyhive got to help some people and I am genuinely sorry that some of you were disappointed with the quality of the projects towards the end, we were too and that is the reason why we decided to close things down as we figured it was the only reasonable thing to do. But we have built something better, which should at least to a large extent not be plagued by those same type of issues.
For now you cannot do bounties per-se yet on HYVE but we are already working on the implementation for this, it's just that the way a bounty works is slightly harder to achieve on-chain because of the large number of transactions involved & fees, but we'll make it work!
Anyway, check HYVE out and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it:
website and
appAfter seeing this topic I was going to get any touch by any official person of Bountyhive through the bountyhive site. where I saw that:
Snip~~
I have already messaged colorlessk through telegram about this. If I will get an answer I will submit here. Thanks
Finally, I have got an
ansert answer from Colorlessk through telegram that they are not closing bountihive right now. But they do not want to add projects that they know won't succeed. So its really good news for bountihive user.
