Why not advance as a bounty hunter?

[zeze18]

Obviously bounty hunting is nowadays almost worthless, the payment is very small and too late, and in many cases you get scammed and don't receive your tokens after spending long weeks or months in advertising the project. I see that many experienced people left already this work, or become very selective of bounty campaigns. Only newbies still think that bounty hunting is a get rich quick scheme.

Yes right now bounty needs more effort to get money, and i think it's still worth to do as a side job. Bounty paid with btcbor fiat is more profitable rather than paid with ico tokens with random price

[Sithara007]

I know bounties in which the hunters received in excess of $1,000 worth of reward, for a few weeks of effort. Those were the golden days and back in 2017 and the first half of 2018, we could find several such bounties. I have even heard of one incident in which one bounty hunter received $3,000 from a single bounty. But the situation has changed drastically, and now the most we can expect is $100 or $200 (if the payments are made as promised).

So unless you have some other method ready with you (such as a signature campaign that can pay in BTC), you need to look for other avenues. Spending 5-6 months on a bounty campaign for just $5 worth of tokens doesn't sounds very rewarding for me. My suggestion is to try the following:

1. Logo and signature designing (it doesn't take much time to learn)
2. Write articles related to crypto (either sell them, or monetize them using Adwords)
3. Do freelancing for crypto
4. Set up your own crypto-business (such as an exchange or an investment site)
5. Altcoin mining (this one is risky, but you can try)

Some people have been bounty hunters for a long time (e.g, for the past 2 or3 years) and till now, they are still on the act of hunting for more altcoins.
It is true that the reward hunters now get is so small compared to what was obtainable 2 to 3 years ago and not only that, it now takes more time to be paid than it was. So, instead of complaining, why not through some of the experience you have got, since your sojourn in the crypto space, explore other means through which you can earn more and fill your portfolio.

N.B:
This might be like  a vital information. There are lots of projects that did bounty campaigns (although not all), which have decided to extent the time of payment of tokens to their bounty participants. Whose tokens are growing tremendously after listing on exchange. Which means that traders and investors of projects like these get their profits before bounty hunters are paid.

DISCLAIMER:: Although, this is not an investment advice, but an observation, which i have decided to call your attention to.

Yes it is true, when compared to a few years ago it was very different. And for now more patience is needed because sometimes some projects extend their bounty campaign and when it is finished the bounty hunter must be patient waiting for the results and distribution of tokens, when the tokens have entered the wallet we must keep waiting for the tokens to be listed on the exchange. But if we participate in a good and potential project, our efforts will not be in vain.

Yeah keep doing our best and improve our quality.
Good projects will come to us sooner or later, and keep watching the cryptocurrency world. i'm sure one day there will be space for good quality bounty hunters to earn valuable cryptocurrency

For those who are a bounty hunter, just do your best guys and be good on promoting your projects, just like you said I am pretty sure that on the near future many good projects will come and the quality of the projects will be as good than the ICO year.
Many bounty hunters will go up and inspire because of the good and quality projects in the near future.

Personally, I believe that for a bounty hunter, a reward is a very good stable thing. But from today, the market situation is not very stable. And because of this, many bounty hunters stopped working in this area. But still, the most persistent still receive good rewards. So bounty hunters still have the opportunity to get a good reward.

[jcpone]

They called bounty hunters to hunt a good bounty campaign project. But the saddest thing was most of the project now are failed in the end and turned into scam. And most of the time even it is scam they always didn't give the rewards and delayed the payment for them. Even bounty hunters complain they do nothing about it, so the winner always the opportunist or scammers who managed the project campaign.

I know a lot of bounty hunters who are a trader now. Airdrop and bounty are a very good and easy way to earn altcoins and after a certain amount earned, you can move to another section. I was a bounty hunter when I did 20-30 bounties at a day but now I do only signature and trade. So, not everyone sticks on bounties nowadays, some people always keep exploring more opportunities!

These experienced bounty participants are more likely to prefer joining weekly signature campaign as it's paying weekly and doesn't pay worthless tokens. Although it's not that huge compare from the money they get back in 2017, it's enough to sustain their wants and needs such as to gamble, trade, or shop online via cryptocurrency as mode of payment.

As it preferred to joining a signature campaign that has been paid weekly because we can't just rely upon on bounties as we know that it won't be profitable this time. Though most of us here experience bounties also before and we can justify its difference from what it has today, it is too different and most bounties turn into a scam which it badly ruining the situation.

Overall I understand what you mean by saying this. However, on the other hand the project didn't pay the bounty hunters according to what they wanted was for some reason. The reason is because the project didn't want the price of the token to fall too far at the beginning of listing on the exchange. Usually hunters always do massive dumps after listing and only a few of them really support the project.
But if we look at the hunter side, they also need to get paid for the results of their hard work. I hope in the future every project can overcome this kind of thing.

So whats your suggestion for advancing?? i felt you'd drop tips which would be very valuable to advancing

[dcomomal]

Because the most hunters are treated as trash. This is that simple, investors and team members think that they got all those tokens for free and investors paid for their tokens, so they should have advantages and get more profit.

I think some bounty hunters are already thinking ahead by placing the bounty token into several coins that look potential. Bounty hunters who have long had an investment portfolio and not just rely on bounty tokens because the bounty conditions are not as good as before

Personally I have advanced in the search of projects to participate as a bounty hunter, haven't regretted ones if choosing a project that end in scam. The problems are from the bounty hunters, they can't carry out their research on the project they intend to invest or even participate in. Many of them have been scammed, and still many of them on their way to scam. As a bounty hunter if you can't research into a project then, don't cry anymore if your work or investment went down the drains.

[jazmuzika217]

You are right. All we know that being bounty hunter is a choice. From the start you know the risk that you will be face once you deal on this kind of work or activity. I agree that our present situation is worst if we compare it from the bounty activity from past two years. But we are here to earn and if we think that bounty is not worth it then go with other activity.

I have been participating in bounty campaigns for more than 2 years and I think that I can analyze campaigns, but they still turn out to be scammers now.

[nxnqauff]

Typically bounty hunters are missed by projects. Most of the time they don't even get paid for the work they have done. Projects think it's easy to share some messages for which they can cheat people. It's pathetic situation.

[Sithara007]

I don't want to say that all the bounty campaigns are bad. However, it is true that the vast majority of them never pays and even those who make the payments on time have very low payout rates. The question here is whether it is still profitable to go for these bounty campaigns. There may be a few which still pays. But is it worth the time and effort? If you ask me, I would say that right now it is better to stay away from them. And also, the Bitcoin dominance is rising with every passing day and that can also have a negative impact on the bounty payments.

Bounties are good too actually, but, most of the time, scam projects are just using bounty hunters for them to gain more users to looks like a legit one. So, for those who are just earning from bounties, you may find other ways to earn and not just rely on them. Making profit in bounties nowadays is so impossible.

Since most of bounty hunters came from 3rd world countries and mostly they are teenagers under 25 y.o. So I'm pretty sure they don't have that much skill to offer, also they think that doing bounty hunting is so much easier because you can literally doing it anytime. Easy money easy task we can say
