BOUNTY SCAM!!!

[lesor]

majority of bounty are scam they take months of your hard work and give you a worthless token, sometimes you work 3moths just to get 9m token worth $2. They are using you to enrich their selves it's called 21st century slavery.
Avoid any token pool less than $1m .they are worthless at the end.
Be careful of newbie bounty manager.
Avoid Ico bounty, too risky.
I have millions of worthless token in my wallet I worked hard for it, don't waste your time be careful..  I love you Son 

Again, this dilemma has been with us since 2018 and I don't know why people still prefer to join bounties. I know that 2017 is a boom, but ever since we enter this bear market, it's a rude awaking for everyone specially for those hunters who think that they can still make a lot of money and didn't understand the business flow of the ecosystem. And then you will hear them bitch around the community, and yes, its sad but true. And besides more than 90% are just scams, so just stay away and look for other ways to earn BTC only.

How's signature campaign

[lesor]

It is very true. I have been participating in bounties for 3 years but lets say I participated in 100 bounties, only 30-40 of them actually paid. Some paid but not the same amount the promised, some paid but did not even list on exchange. I advice you to join social mining to get the reward you deserve.

Social mining??  Enlighten me

[boyptc]

Do you think higher allocations will have any difference?

Yeah, even the higher pool bounty will do the same.

They give high stakes reward for each participant but that won't change the fact that they have no assurance that the value will be that much.

Future is not bright then

It's not bright for those who are letting themselves used by these bounty scams.

How's signature campaign

The signature campaign for bounties are also the same as the bounties that you're joining.

Stop joining bounty campaign that promises a huge amount of bounty allocation because they are surely scam. Most of the legit IEO or ICO don't the bounty campaigns anymore since before they start the project. They have already private investors to ensure the project. Sadly when I check the altcoin section. I think I saw on less than project that seems legit bounty campaign which not guarantee that there token value will be high when list on exchange.

For the mean time. Try to avoid joining on bounty campaigns or join only on bounty campaigns that manage by experienced bounty manager. In this way the risk to join on scam project will be minimize.

If he stop doing bounty campaign, will he be able to be investing in bitcoin or altcoin? It's better for you to start investing on legit project than doing nothing. Nobody knows when the altcoin season will start. Been a bounty hunter is never easy but you gat to keep pushing, even though you see no good result

Alas, this is not news. Many of us have accumulated a lot of trash on our wallets in the form of tokens from the bounty. Most likely they will remain worthless numbers on our wallets.
However, this does not mean that there were no normal projects for which it was not worth wasting your time.
Learn to select and analyze correctly and perhaps this will allow you to get a place in a good project.

I'm sorry to tell to you this dude but that is the risk you need to take if you want to earn something in a bounty project. ICO devs are smart and their way to keep the cost down while their project is being marketed in the industry is giving stakes of the project itself to bounty participants like you, they aren't really doing anything illegal here since they didn't really put a dollar value or fixed value onto their tokens before you join in, they just promised you to earn a piece of their project and that's all there is. So the only way to counter this really is by doing a deeper research about the project whether if it has a promising future or not so that you won't waste your time on participating bounties that have worthless coins being offered in the forum.

I have been working for Sparrow bounty for 2 months and only got back a bunch of invalid tokens.
What the fuck? They say SPO is only used to reduce transaction costs by 50%.
This is too funny. They do not understand the meaning of "Bounty Program"? Bounty hunters also need money to live. In other words, the Sparrow team deceived the bounty hunters' efforts. They are irresponsible and have no conscience!

[Inkdatar]

This really happens to many bounty hunters who didn't earn even any amount. I’ve been a victim of those bounty scam projects I earned nothing for the months of joining. I have also many shit coins, no value, and just a display in my wallet. Better we should really do some diligence before joining a project to avoid wasting our time and effort.

Diligence and honesty will not change the views of the scam bounty organizer. They take advantage of bounty hunters after months of hard work, and they pay worthless tokens. I think these projects should be put on the scams list!

This is a common scenario if your chosen bounty is not good enough. All bounties are not scamming. There are many potential bounty campaigns are running now. For your help, I can tell Hawk, Pngme bounties name. I believe people will get good rewards from these two campaigns. I have researched well about them. So, it means, don't do every bounty. Research hard, keep your eyes on their updates and activities, if everything seems good, then you may join there, not before.

We all now aware and we all know that there were lots of scams, but, some people choose to take risk, so this is the big problem, they believe in flower words that the projects team are promising without analyzing if that will be worth investing, or worth to invest your time. We should be mature enough, we can have everything that we need to investigate if they are worth or not, don't just after the rewards or returns.

Most of the members of the forum are into having an income, be it looking for tips about how to trade or bounty hunting, they are into the money that they will get. And for them not to be scammed by fake campaigns, they should open their eyes wide open and watch out for red flags that might be seen to every promising campaign that also comes to the point that it was unrealistic. Their common sense will save themselves.

It's so similar to what I have been through and hundreds of users like us who have suffered and lost their precious time because of greedy developers and scammers who don't want bounty hunters to earn anything and just look at bounty hunters as a mere marketing tool to advertise the project without any value for our time. It's time people are reluctant to join any bounty because of bad name incurred during last 18 months.

[deadsilent]

To avoid such waste of time and efforts. Just join bounty projects that are managed by reputable bounty managers here. So you can assure that you're gonna get paid. Bounties here are really hard to tell whether they're scam or good project. Sometimes even it's a good project they are not giving what they're suppose to to give because they didn't raised enough funds to pay bounty participants. You better study the project first before joining. Some concerned members helping us to that but not always. They immediately tag negative trust to them so we will know if the project is just a scam.

[The3max]

This is something that happens often. The bounty hunter is a huge free marketing tool! Many projects have organized bonus programs and paid them valuable tokens. That is a scam. Poor bounty hunters, they spend a lot of time and effort working for scammers!

[Strongkored]

majority of bounty are scam they take months of your hard work and give you a worthless token, sometimes you work 3moths just to get 9m token worth $2. They are using you to enrich their selves it's called 21st century slavery.

All bounty hunters facing this condition, if you won't to get scam continously better not to join bounty again.

Avoid any token pool less than $1m .they are worthless at the end.

Bounty pool doesn't describe how much you will got when convert to BTC. Problem that occur because the bounty prize is not in escrow hands, bounty hunters should ask this not just tempted by large bounty pool.

Be careful of newbie bounty manager.

When you see a bounty manager from newbie account then you can be sure they are team of the project, but higher account  is not a guarantee that he is a good manager, that's why look at his work history and reputation.

[Coyster]

Avoid any token pool less than $1m

During my early days on the forum, I participated in bounty campaigns(ICO) with a far higher allocation than the one above and the outcome wasn't any different from the ones with lesser token pool.
I think the campaigns who embellish their projects with all this sort of attractive rewards via their tokens are actually the ones to stay away from, they know people are greedy, and what to earn without even understanding how the tokens would work or be useful, so they can attract them with a large bounty pool, either ending up duping the investors or giving out tokens that would be of no use to all who participated in the campaign.

BTC campaigns with good campaign managers are the sort of campaigns user ought to aim to be in, though this must not derail their purpose for being on the forum.

[joniboini]

Poor bounty hunters, they spend a lot of time and effort working for scammers!

The only way for this to stop is if hunters stop participating in shady projects and learn their lesson. Sadly, it's not that easy. I've shared a lot of job opportunities to them, but they still hope they can earn a lot from bounty hunting, so they turned down the offer.

If they don't stop, then garbage projects with whitepaper can have free marketing as many as they want.

When you see a bounty manager from newbie account then you can be sure they are team of the project, but higher account  is not a guarantee that he is a good manager, that's why look at his work history and reputation.

Not necessarily. Sometimes, a bounty manager creates a new alt to make sure if the project starts exit scamming, it won't spoil their reputation.

[inanilujimi]

the only successful project in a bounty is not because the project is good and has a strong team, but for me it's just luck that makes a bounty have a big prize now.
so if you do bounty if your destiny is unlucky then bounty will become a scam.

[Immakillya]

sad. bad true.
in 2017 i've been caught in the same scum, instead of 300$ I've got around 70$. Lucky for me it was for a month, not for three month as in your case and yet the bounty were 70$ it is still not bad.
I think best way now to see bounty is ready to pay fix payment per post in fiat or btc and payment every week.. if they miss a week, then you can drop this bounty..
best of luck, man!

Well, we can't say it's a totally scam as they already paid you for your work. The thing you must understand is some ICOs these days didn't raised enough fund to compensate all of your hard work. So the result, they cut the amount you were supposed to receive. You're lucky tho. Some scam bounty didn't pay participants at all. About the bounty that pays BTC or Fiat. It's hard to get in to that bounty since they accept only limited participants. But yeah, it's a sure profit. If you compare bounty on Bitcoin marketplace to altcoins marketplace, the altcoins marketplace provides you more opportunities than Bitcoin marketplace. Just a lot of scammers. So join at your own risk.
