Future of bounty campaign.

[rijaljun]

So some people think bounty campaign will face a very difficult time and some others think that is good to make the forum at top quality. I will agree who those who think we don't need to protest a significant positive changes for the forum, this forum is far more important than bounty campaign itself.

Is it really necessary for bounty campaign or bounty hunters to get pampered?

Making money on bitcointalk forums now must have good skills and compete fiercely, for old users who already have good rankings sometimes find it difficult to follow good gifts, especially users who have just joined the forum

I really felt the difference of today's bounties compare to last year, I think investors are learning and seeking for projects who targets long term existence and development that is why bounties nowadays are having a hard time marketing and producing funds for their projects. Which affects the flow of the bounties here as well.

kyc is a must right now, that is a big difference between this day and before.
to be honest, I am quite afraid of joining a new bounty because of this. not to mention most of the projects are not worth the time and effort, nothing looks good so far.

Its very difficult for new members to earn anything from bitcointalk due to merit and account ranking system. Early birds are getting most share from bitcointalk. If few people are in bounty campaign then fewer will be posts and not much marketing will be done of the ICO/IEO.

Indeed, for new users it is very hard when their goal is to get money from the campaign. they must be patient to be able to get merit in order to increase their position. because the current system makes it more difficult for new users to actually be able to follow the existing campaigns on bitcointalk.This policy must inevitably be done to be able to make a more advanced system even if it has to be sacrificed

I can say that it is way too different when it was still on year 2017 and early 2018 and after those months and years then bounty hunting is becoming lit.
Lots of investors learned up and we know that ICO's is almost dead and now the new thing is on IEO on which majority of investors would keep an eye to IEO
instead on going back to ICO which they can compare off the difference among the two when it comes or do talks about risk.

Day by day people are getting to know crypto currency, each day good number of interested people join the BitcoinTalk forum. The way the bounty qualifications and rank was in 2012 is not any more. Getting to the next rank is getting more difficult,KYC came in and many other changes, Now don't you think very soon most signature will only be opened to people from Full member and/or very few number will be given the chances of participation in many bounty campaign to have it convenient?

Selection and standards of the bounty participants would depend on the manager of the project. Although it is observable that most of the projects managers do prefer ranks of full member and above, there are still projects who do accept newbies. Maybe those projects who require high forum ranks do just want to add credibility to those who would promote the project in order to gain more trust which would have benefit to the project so it is understood.

That can happen to several projects, even now there are already several projects that only recruit full members, or with certain merits. Well, that's pretty common for now. but, there are still a number of projects that are still hiring at least Jr. members and no minimum merit.
You know, now it's quite difficult to attract bounty hunters because so much of their work in the past was doing advertising for some scam projects.

Your presumption are somehow right but not totally right because the merit system was created actual by the forum moderators to make the forum clean and make only eligible participant participate in some various activities on the forum.
Concern the signature campaign, most bitcoin campaign usually accept participants from the full member but rank from Jr members are always welcome in the bounty section.
Mind you, all this were created to limit the abuse of the forum.

if there are currently no projects that employ jr.member or member ranks and pay well then they need to wait again for projects that can actually pay accordingly. if it does not currently exist then I am sure in the future or elsewhere there will be many more interesting jobs

Its very difficult for new members to earn anything from bitcointalk due to merit and account ranking system.

That's how it was supposed to work, in case you didn't know.  There were too many new members coming here just to earn money and they ended up nearly wrecking the forum by diluting any good posts with their spam. 

Signature campaigns *should* have a rank and merit requirement in my opinion and should not accept newbies or jr. members.  Newbies don't have any signature space anyway, so that's not a concern.  But jr. members do, and usually they're the ones who have nothing productive to say about bitcoin or anything else.  Because of that they have a very hard time ranking up.  Again, that is as it should be because of the merit system.

The trouble is real, many bounty campaigns have various restrictions for the members below full rank.

Typical confused statement which is a big part of the problem we're talking about.  What is 'below full rank'?  Bounties need to have more restrictions and more rules, and barring that I wouldn't care in the least if they just ceased to exist.  Bounty hunters don't do anything productive and add nothing to the forum or the various social media sites that they're required to spam on.

In addition to that, bounty hunting isn't yet as profitable as a few years ago, because the number of legitimate ICOs is decreasing with time, and the altcoin's market is still struggling. So I believe that yes, with time the number of bounty participants will decrease for sure.

Its already been decreased wayback before but there are still a few which do bounty hunting hoping for some jackpot on earning some decent money out of it but we know that numbers of legit projects can already be counted with our fingers and finding the legit one wont really be that simple or easy.

Im not saying that its over for ICO bounties now but it seems that it is already heading that way.

Altcoins bounties are pretty small which requires you to work even harder, well I still believe on a bounties who will pay thru bitcoin and its a safe place for the bounty hunters. The future of bounty campaign is still unknown especially if there’s new project then no bounty at all. But since the mass adoption will happen, I’m confident that more projects will come and i hope they consider this forum to be their place of marketing.

I think this is because the ICO and IEO markets are no longer hot and good projects are no longer appearing. Besides, there are more fraudulent projects and only aim to deceive investors' money. That's why many bounty hunters are no longer making a lot of money and it's more difficult to be exact.
Hopefully in the future the market will grow again and good projects will reappear. If the market continues to do so for a long time, we will have to give up this job soon.

[electronicash]

bounty campaigns that pay altcoins are still active in the forum. newbies are even welcome as long they learned and can write about the project. weve seen newbies joining social media campaigns too. its just the merit thats added, my tip is to get into forum politics to get merits.

you'll never know one day when bullrun comes, this coins might just be one of the fast growing profitable coin. lots of surprises comes with bullrun and its fast approaching, speculators says so.

[Mammothcoin]

Bounty campaigns are looking less and less interesting with the payouts for most not being commensurate with the 'allocation'.  Bounty pools of projects get slashed for trivial reasons, payments get delayed,  kyc and other identity verification often gets enforced and in many cases,  the project itself doesn't meet soft-cap. I really hope that as prices rally,  bounty hunting will regain it's lost glory.

[bassbity]

Now many newbie accounts join the bounty campaign, but the program he uses is only social media and content, but the participants are more and more people are joining the altcoin bounty campaign.
With the top ranking they will look for campaigns that are paid BTC or who have promised not with altcoin anymore.
But with the merit system, people will try to get it as they used to mostly postings to be promoted with spam posts.

[rose9696]

In fact, bounty campaigns are only good when alts grow again. This shows that new investors are allocating large amounts of capital to the remaining alts to increase the quality of the market, and then it is easier for new projects to attract capital.
but alts season is still far away so bounty campaigns also need a lot of time to glory again. We should now find a job to make money, wait until the market flourishes, let's come back.

Definitely, you have a point. The years having pass the bounty campaign signature has becoming more difficult to meet a good project or a chance to get earned.  Making some of my fellow bounty participants decided to lift off this kind of work because they choose to be a fulltime trader.
