UNFAIR TREATMENT OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS

[danherbias07]

It is a risk.
Always had been.
Your choice if you want to join in. That is why they are getting lesser now. Some bounty hunters did their choice when there is no more income coming in.
They choose a different path or they begun looking for better companies that might really reach success.
You know what really the problem is? You chose the wrong team to join in.
There are still a lot of stories for those who made a lot of money just doing bounties.

I did. Gained in different bounties and when I sum it up it might go to a whooping 50k USD which cannot just be picked up in the streets here in our country. That is a lot for me.

I have gotten used to bad treatments from bounties like not getting paid at all or getting paid in half, i have complained many times about solution needed to tackle bounty projects that threat hunters badly but it was all in vain but now i only follow bubbalex bounties and arteezy this days

[ice18]

This must be a lesson to all before joining any bounties just make sure it is handled by a reputable or proven bounty managers usually with ranks Full member and above, I can see most newbies are the only one who joins bounty today not knowing the legitimacy of the project they endorse and in the end if the target amount money is not successful they postponed the project and all bounty hunters are left nothing because many bounty today are ignoring to pay hunters my advise do not join bounties which not yet listed on any exchange its just a waste of time.

As a bounty hunter its part of the risks, do not expect positive outcome always but since fund raising is the main issue its better to join projects that are already listed and trading as well

Bounty hunters are still unaware of the importance of bounty managers, if you want to get paid from time to time do research on good bounty managers and check their past bounties too, check out btcltcdigger or bubbalex

[Kvalentine]

Many bounty hunters still follows projects introduced by newbie accounts, this is a sign of 'may get paid or not' to me, i prefer to follow bounty managers with good reputations on this forum, then the rest is to do research on the projects they introduce

As a fellow bounty hunter back when the Airdrop was so promising

Yeah you don't hear a lot about airdrops these days, as opposed to 2017 and '18 when it seemed like every other thread in the altcoin section was hyping a new one.  But I didn't think any of them were as promising as you say.  They all seemed like worse than shit coins to me and I never bothered to participate in any of them.

Bounty hunters keep getting treated like shit because they keep going back for more, even when there should be ample warning that a scam is going to happen.  Even if there aren't red flags, nobody insists on escrowed funds and payment in a coin that's actually worth something.  Waiting to claim tokens is a losing deal for any number of reasons and while I have *some* sympathy for the bounty hunters' plight, it isn't much.  Helping to promote those stupid projects isn't much of a job and it really doesn't help anyone except the scammy project devs.

Well, I really like the time when you can get gains by just participating in a simple Airdrop and this would only take a couple of mins. time, And I am comparing bounty campaign with work because that is what is happening and what I think that have a comparison, but bounty campaigns ended up in a scammy way so in my opinion instead of joining bounty campaign and just waste time, get a job that has benefits and truly is paying their employees.

Hunters are treated lesser than beggars by the team despite working days and nights in promotion of the project to its success.

I do not think developers are cruel about it. Whichever group you look at, there are hundreds of questions about distribution, and they are all hunters. Hunters endeavor to treat themselves like beggars, this is based on their long-term effort.

That is really sad reality but it is a fact that we have our own choices and some choices that we have made doesn't end up good results. Well not all projects are like that. Mostly are but still not all. I guess we just need to be more careful next time and pick projects that is different from what you have said.

[ganeshramk]

As a bounty hunter myself, I also encountered the same issues and share the same feelings. Nothing much we can do to overcome this treatment with bounty hunters. Better might be to stay away from bounty hunting.

Now it is difficult for teams to attract investments with the help of bounty. Those who want to invest diminished. Accordingly, the attitude to bounty hunters has changed. Teams do not want to admit to their failures in collecting investments. And so they have nothing to offer the bounty hunters but promises.

Very sad indeed as the efforts of bounty hunters is not well remunerated and its very sad these days to see the total earnings of hunters very small compared to the time and effort used in promoting those projects some school of thought would say the over all bearish of crypto market is partly responsible for the low pay out while cases of scams ICOs had also made investors to shun most the projects.

Bounty managers are just dependent to the team as well, they don't have anything to make the team accountable for what is promised. There were bounty management platforms that were also scammed, the team as usual were given tokens as if it were valuable but after all the hard works, the team can still abandon the project leaving all with nothing.

Its the team that has to really be accountable and has to be made accountable. If bounty hunters can't do this, I guess we still are going to be promoting projects that will still scam us.

It seems to me that the unjust treatment of the bounty hunters is the most frequently referenced post on this forum. They are indeed very often treated in a dishonest way. But i want to say that bounty hunters do not bring a lot of investors to the project, often it is the team itself that is looking for sponsors, and bounty hunters just create a buzz and spread the word about the project.

[Dalmar]

The bounty managers shouldn't be blamed due to the lack of support from the team, the bounty payments directly depend on the decisions of the project team. The low payments usually don't guarantee the project will become successful but the team doesn't want to give up due to the possibility to make the money from the marketing budget.

Bounty hunters job is to spread words about the project, either it will attract investors or not is not on us anymore, if bounty hunters are not getting the job done why is our help needed? if you belief in your words why are you wearing freelanex signature?

[vanya.pronin.1983]

The core problem is that people think that bounty hunting is nothing more than doing nothing. Promoting projects is a serious work, and those tokens are earned in exchanged on time. A lot of people just do not get it.

[biddicoin]

i dont understand why many people here suggest to avoid bounty bcz of that problem. it wont fix the problem at all
we need healthy bussiness model so it would be long last. we have to think about 'how to solve the problem', not only just to avoid.

I know that the team does that unfair bcz of low investment they get, so it would affect to bounty hunter as a project promoter
if the project goes smooth and get high investment, the team wont do unfair like this. (look at 2017 project)

So, the solution is to get back good project around here and make good investment and the result, there is no unfair treatment anymore.

One and the same topic arises for a very long time. Yes bounty hunters today are not protected exactly the same as the whole community. Everyone has to take risks. This is the meaning of this industry in today's time. If bounty hunters made huge profits and they were permanent the industry would be mired in scams. Since there would be a huge number of participants. Today there are not many participants and there are very good projects. Therefore, prospects for bounty programs are available. Approach the choice of the project responsibly.

In the last 12 months of so there have been almost no bounty campaign that has paid any decent reward to hunters the bounty market has become slower and slower since then and now it seems to be completely stagnant or dead and the situation can only change if we see the ico craze back in the market which does not seem to be the case for now.
