What makes you still join the bounty campaigns?

[reality18]

There are still good bounty programs out there as long as new projects are being developed. Although crypto is cluttered with worthless bounty programs which rewards participants with nothing to write home about tokens, there are some few ones that pays well and it will take a serious and intensive research to identify such bounty programs.

yes, there is no reason not to support a good project. when it is still within my reach, I will do what I can to support the project. like this Hawk project, I think this is a very good project, and potential. if I find a project that I think is feasible, I will join them. However, when we find a project with a trusted and strong team, I don't want to waste my time watching the project grow. I will support it.

It's true that for the past year and the current year is not that profitable to bounty hunters but what makes me keep going is that i believe that the market will enter a bull run again, and if it happens the tokens/coins that I've got from bounties will surely have a value in the future, it's just a matter of being patient.

if I join the bounty hunter now, I do it because I support the project. if that particular bounty has a different concept from other projects, I'm sure there will be many people who will support it.

for now, I am still looking for bounties that have potential in the future. for this year, I haven't been able to confirm which bounty is good, whereas, for a good bounty manager, I think those who get the trust in this forum.

The scenario has been changed a lot. Once we believed only high ranking bounty managers to pick a bounty to do. But right now bounty manager is not a big part of a bounty campaign, rather before joining a bounty campaign you have to consider the project's goal, partners, technologies, and the community! This year we found some great projects like Harmony, Ferrum, SERO, Bcnex and some others which has a very good allocation for their bounty campaign!

I joined this forum not only looking for income, but also seeking knowledge about the world of bitcoin. then the conclusion, to join this project only as a hobby, lucky or not, might not be a problem for me. This forum is not a place to make money. Immediately find a job in the real world.

The mere fact that many scam projects we also learn from it. I’m still joining bounty campaigns to be able to learn and earn from crypto. Exactly there’s a continues knowledge that we can get here in the forum but the most important is we should do diligence before joining. Let’s not close the door there's room for learning from crypto and by joining a bounty.

The only thing that drives me to join a particular bounty campaign is the bounty manager who launched and is managing  the bounty. There are good and reliable bounty managers who always launch bounty campaigns that are worth participating in them.  These bounty managers never disappoint with the kind of bounties they launch. It might take months but you are still assured that you will receive a decent amount of reward..

There are many reasons:
  + Have the opportunity to receive altcoins without having to invest money directly
+ Know information about new altcoin projects or new tokens
+ used bitcointalk more

For me, bounty campaign is side job that sometime give us bonus. Beside working, i think it is better to spend time on anything that can be profitable for me, and this signature campaign is really suit for me. Not much take my time, and usually i do learn about editing video for sometime if must make video or anything like that. Still better than i waste my time only to play game.

it depends on the project that you have done, indeed you are paid and have a token, but if the project does not develop, don't expect to be patient anymore it is useless.
choose a good project, and for this year it really seems very quiet, maybe next year

An open question to all bounty hunters. What makes you still join the bounty campaigns?

I was the regular bounty hunter in 2017 and early half of the 2018 but once 80% of my joined bounties started to turn scam without paying a penny, I dropped the idea. By looking the current situation, I can conclude that the situation has now worsen and the success rate of bounties is now dropped to further low. So my question is why you still join bounties? Are you getting paid? If yes, then which one gave you best rewards this year? Who is the best manager/s currently in bounty domain?

Honestly, most managers i've seen have been honest and delivered the tokens, even more in the bear trend. That could be because there's not a lot to steal right now, or they have a reputation to keep and don't want to waste it. Most alts that has bounties don't have value from a start right now but that doesn't mean they wouldn't have it when the bullrun starts. That has nothing to do with the managers. Also, project is not necessarily a scam just because it hasn't got an instant dump value.

No one knows which prohect will actually pay at the end of a bounty campaign. I guess people still engage in it because they are optimistic it will turn out fine for them, even if they have faced dissappointment  with other projects earlier

Honestly instead of leaving the account signature space blank, I prefer it to be full. I always try to join better ones but the result is mostly 10x-100x dump. Also I always search for the bounty listed in the exchange, and this would be the better choice considering the recent situation of the market. IMO Arteezy is one of the better ones in this regard, I have been able to earn not less than others in the campaigns I participated in.

Arteezy is a good bounty manager but not to be rely on because few of bounty projects from him are bad, for example files fm bounty, they cheat bounty hunter so much that the reward was meaningless and they put the blame on hardcap not reached but they managed to reach their softcap

Smart move on your part, brother.

I wouldn't join a token paying bounty if you had a gun pointed at my testiclates, and this is precisely because those fuckers want their bounty hunters to do all of the advertising, all of the spamwork up front and then once the release happens they might or might not pay you, and they may just slap a kyc requirement on you in order for you to get your tokens.  And then those tokens you worked so long and hard for, they most likely won't be worth diddly shit anyway.

There is a good reason why bounties have dried up in the past year.  People are getting wise to these scamming ico developers and are starting to realize that there's no money to be made in investing in them.  But the bounty hunters?  They are as desperate as ever, so they're currently lamenting the fact that there isn't enough 'work' to be found on bitcointalk.  Tough titty, I say.

[Ss4sukE]

the reason that attracted me or joined a project was because I needed money and the money from the gift token would later be used as the main investment capital in the crypto market, so I still believed that there were still good projects and good profits.

Its still a profitable hobby, but you have to take into account the high risk of not getting paid or getting paid but your reward being worthless. Once you are aware of those cons, take a leap into the scene or move to something else. I would say it is definitely worth trying if you are prepared to waste a half an hour of your time per day.

[103deltafox]

Looking back at 2017 and coming now to 2019,there has been a very huge drop of bounty earnings but we still manage to join some bounties that paid well, some of such are Morpheus lab, Velic, Dexage, harmony and also awaiting Tokoin payment. As bad as it is, there are still some few good projects that will pay bounty hunters well, but the issue is locating them.

What makes you still join the bounty campaigns?

I am not in the forum because of the campaigns.
- i like to spend time here.
- i am talking to friends here.
- i'm interested in the topics you can read about.
i let the campaigns run on the side. that is certainly no main reason for my stay here. and since there is almost no effort, nothing speaks against it.

I stopped participating in bounties at some point in 2018. And it was because of the reasons you talked about. The rewards in today's bounties are nothing to write home about. I don't blame them to, They're no more projects raising millions with ICOs. If those ones holding their IEOs on smaller exchange raise only a max of around $500K. That used to be the entire reward for a bounty campaign in 2017.

I don't think it's worth it unless the current conditions changes.

[Byakuga]

Good projects come into this space once in a while, its not easy to build a very good project but bounty hunters are so desperate about making some money and they start promoting fake ICO PROJECTS, bounty hunters are responsible for helping scam projects, we are the ones that helped create awareness for their scam projects

[Greatchu]

I find it hard to believe that altcoin season won't make a come back with vengeance, i know that not all altcoin will favour from it but new projects will be the most favour, they have the chance of bringing back 1000% gains, old altcoins have did the best they can in the past and it will be hard for them to do 10x
