UNFAIR TREATMENT OF THE BOUNTY HUNTERS

[elewton]

It is so unfortunate the kind of bad treatment unleashed to the bounty hunters by the project team in the recent days. Hunters are treated lesser than beggars by the team despite working days and nights in promotion of the project to its success.
Most teams forget that the work of the hunters is responsible for bringing the investors which contribute fund to finance the project. The team instruct the bounty manager to change the bounty rules unfavorably to hunters hiding under the rule that they have the right to change the rule as they are pleased. The expend the bounty duration without increasing the bounty pool. They delay the bounty distribution in fear of dumping which most of the time do not come from the hunters but from the investors who got outrageous bonus on their investments or the team members who doubts the objectives of the project.

The bounty hunters has to find a way to stop this unfair treatment as it is already becoming unbearable.

We seem to have no choice. because the moderators only control members here, in addition to the bounties campaign, they are not responsible and the fraud still happens regularly. Now that we have a sense of self-discipline, we should be knowledgeable about analyzing good or bad projects. because we are freelancers and no one can guarantee us. After a series of scam projects, I had the opinion that we should only participate in projects that are already performing well.

I think we can only follow their rules, because they gave up the money also I think we didn't do so much for the impact for the sale, they got investor from event or conferences. For extended bounty program, it's common mate for now because crypto isn't hype like 2017. They need more promotions and bounty hunter is one of many option that can do promotion massively.

[Genemind]

This is definitely true and it's the reality. It's just frustrating that despite our hard work and contribution to the success of the project, we're still not being treated well. We shouldn't support projects who aren't treating bounty hunters fairly. We're just lucky that there are still projects who know how to handle and support the bounty hunters who are working hard to promote their project.

to be honest, at the moment the bounty work does not bring in many investors, if they reach hardcap I think they will dare to distribute their tokens to bounty hunters, but in fact they make manipulation of their tokens selling well to softcap but actually nobody invests there only ETH their team who was sent to invest there so that it was seen that there was an investment, the way it was often done by the founder of the project because I always monitored them

I am not taking anyone's side here, I see that most of the bounties that currently exist are not really profitable and even their team profile is unclear, doing AMA via video will directly increase investor confidence about the project, the market is currently unstable and not some are profitable so they don't have a lot of money to hold dumper from bounty hunters, so they will continue to delay payments and make you like a beggar ask for the results of your work

What you are saying was a fact. Indeed some managers are abusing their positions. Like for an instance implementing KYC at the end of the campaign.
But if you are real and not a bot there is nothing to be afraid of, But giving data to a new project is unsafe that is why some hunters avoid this KYC.
And it ends up so many hunters are not being paid, free promotion. If you do kyc just make sure it is legitimate project with 3rd party kyc service, not just a google form or similar. Joining a bounty is like a gamble is the first place we don't know if it will succeed or not. These days only few of them succeed. 1 out of 10.

They need more exposures and funds to continue the project, if they are exceeding it's because they still not getting the target amount that they needed to raise in order to continue the progress that they've planned to provide. Many bounty hunters have the same concern regarding to shares and the total time period of their works we need to assess every participations in order not to waste or time.

This often happens and this should be the responsibility of the bounty manager. Changes to the rules or extension of the bounty period should be notified before the bounty will end and there is also an alternative if the bounty hunter leaves the campaign, the stake will still be obtained

Maybe bounty is not working well now as many investors know that we are a paid in advertising these campaigns, there should be new way to do bounty hunting or technique that can attract new investors. For the mean time that developers don't see ways we need to be careful in joining since we are not the priority of the developers or the team so we must know when to stop or when is enough for our efforts.

[Anonylz]

The team have the larger part of the unfair treatment to bounty hunters even though portion also comes from bounty managers, one of the major reason i can say is the reason to this is as a result of the expectations some team have on tuning a bounty campaign, once the result are not meeting expectations, then team don't feel it necessary to oblige to their promise,

The main purpose of conducting a bounty is to attract investors to buy into the idea of the project, but if that goal is not being achieved tends to bring rift and dissatisfaction that will result to unfair treatment.

[Lantind]

No new solution can fix this problem except market start bouncing up big time, IEO hardcap are hard to hit this days and investors are not finding new projects as promising again so the blame is the market price

We cannot blame the market price just like that, because the price in the market is caused by the demand and supply of a token, and there is a solution to fix this problem as long as we want to fix it together.

[Mulann2]

Most times hunters are really treated poorly by some dev team, they disregard the work the hunters are putting in to spread the word of their project through all the available means, even if hunters don't invest money to support the project they invest their time and resource (e.g you need internet to always be online and that cost money) which should be equally considered,

Aside from the unfair treatment to hunters, they are also blame for any dump in price that project will experience even we all know that it is not always the case,

Unfortunately, nothing can be done about this since the team are the ones calling the shot, hunters just have to go along with it.

[cryptonewbie]

Try not to complain but to endure because that is the best that you can actually do. There is no one to report bad project owners to. Everyone works at their whims and caprices. Just pray to work for a good project owner and not those that do not regard hunters as valuable. There is a certain Deex exchange that has refused to pay their bounty hunters since campaign ended in January this year. Just an example of bad project owners.

I can relate with your position. Its quite unfortunate that the effort of bounty hunters are not appreciated by the project. Bounty hunters needs to make the project see their relevance and that could be done by suspending their services when the project is not fulfilling their own side of the bargain either by increasing the bounty duration without increasing the reward.

[best123]

It is very worrisome the way some project owners treat hunters. Many of them forgot that hunters inputs aided them in the project. Some managers are also to be blame because they don't protect hunters they invited to do the publicity. Some managers don't care whether hunters are paid or not. What they know is themselves.

[miklesm]

I agree with your opinion, Bounty hunters are doing their job without any guarantees of their work will be paid, so the only option for them is to carefully choose the projects for participation.

Sorry to hear that mate but in some case, we can't control their own way of attitude in which it makes so unfair since each of us here working for our own good. Well, as one of the hunters as well as an investors I also experience that kind of treatment but we have nothing to do about it and wait for their next instructions.

[Bossfidelity]

Hunters are indeed treated unfair in this space. Atimes, I wonder what went wrong. I guess it's because there are several hunters who don't know their worth and are willing to collect anything from the project for their services. The bounty managers are certain that ones a bounty program is up, bounty hunters would flock. Its quite unfortunate that bounty hunting is no more reputable and hunters are treated like beggars.

[Landak]

Such rules changes have occurred since the manager came from the project team itself.
the solution is to ask all bounty hunters to stop participating in the bounty campaign so that the project teams no longer arbitrarily make rules that detrimental the bounty participants. there is no other solution except to take action like this.

It can also be blamed on those who attempt to cheat the project funds by using more than one account to participate in the bounty. This leads to a forced KYC and nobody likes that. Problem is some bounty hunters are so greedy that they dont care about the project at all. They only care about their own earnings.

I agree with your opinion, Bounty hunters are doing their job without any guarantees of their work will be paid, so the only option for them is to carefully choose the projects for participation.

Or rather use that time to learn some trading and start trading USD/BTC for a change instead of spamming twitter reports. These shitcoins will never be big and they will remain low because of the dumping by hunters - which again does not get bought since the project ends up in a mess. Same story everywhere. So stop taking part in them and do something better with bitcoin.

[Kotone]

Its your choice to make as a bounty hunter, whatever choices you made is what will determine your end results, i prefer checking out bounty managers now more than any thing else because most bounties that failed me are from new BM or projects conducted by the project teams themselves

This is a positive attitude but dont lose hope on new projects with an unknown manager. Sometime the project isn't just familiar with the process here but they are legit. Ive joined some projects with unknown manager but still were able to get my tokens and able to sell it.

Manager are also like hunters who working for them, so its the project we must always look upon, lile their team, legality of it.
