Bounty problem and solution

[VDraci]

I think the author of a topic exaggerates the problem. Bounties now often do not recruit the right number of bounty hunters.Therefore, I assume that limiting the number of participants is not relevant now.

Lol same here, bounty hunters are getting reduced maybe its because of too many failed bounty projects in 2019 lol, i have few friends who quit already too, not everyone has patience and persistence spirit to continue hunting but i hope 2020 will be different

Is it too much of bounty hunters the problem? No its not, infact every bounty allocations from 100k is more than enough, present market condition is the enemy here and secondly scammers have successfully ruin the heart of investors, they are no more interested in new projects these days

[Landak]

limit the number of participants and reduce the number of bounty allocations, because the more allocations, the more participants will join and be accepted. make a rule with a minimum account rank, so each rank can only join a few participants, the goal is to minimize spam and so on, this way the allocation and the number of stake that can be stable.

I doubt it that they will limit the participation for their bounty. They want to maximize the exposure they can get in the forum that's why they don't have limitations. Some do have but this is for budgeted campaigns but for those bounties that will just pay with their own tokens, why would they care about the payment if they'll pay out of thin air?

The bounty campaign that has a limit on participants has a huge boost not just to the bounty campaign organizers but also to the bounty hunter. Because it avoids the serious fraud of other participants in multiple accounts, spam and much more. It also helps for bounty hunters to earn enough rewards and of course to make it worth the effort and sacrifice.

in my opinion, i think the bounty manager and team projects should derive a means to tackle spammers and scammers on the bounty before lunching the program. they should put in more effort on this to tackle this issue and retain the projects dignity

[target]

Limiting the number of participants won't help them since all are just going to dump anyway to they might as well just accept just about anyone coming to join the campaign. One solution for a low rank user in bitcointalk because you can't join the signature campaign then just take the blogging and youtube campaign, there is a higher allocation for these campaigns.

I think its time that bounty managers should start putting limitations on new bounty projects to avoid spams, the problem in this space today apart from scam projects is this forum is flooded with spammers and too many bounty hunters which makes reward unfair for hunters, what do you think? Agreed or disagreed? drop your points below

I agree and it should be implemented I participated in one bounty campaign it has huge rewards but even it is the huge rewards, I only got  small fraction because of the so many participants in the campaign, all those huge allocations rewards goes to thousands of participants, that no one got a big portion of the slice.

[kodtycoon]

the most important thing about this problem or to avoid a scam project is to require the project to hire a trusted manager in the forum, i think that is enough to minimize scammer and if that can't be done then come back about self control not to be greedy and carelessly promote the project, because by staying cautious and having good knowledge that will keep you safe from scammer

Using your logic, they want to make as much promotion as possible and reach as broad as possible with little capital.
That is a strategy for the project owner. If you want to be rich try another business that generates more returns than you spend your time in vain for bounties.

No it will not boost the campaign if they make it to limited people to participate.
I dont think that too many participants is the  big problem right now since more of the members here do not want to join in any bounty any more, because of too many scam project before.

[kaneki007]

There may be a limited number of campaigns, but not all of them, and if limited, there may be 1000-2000 participants. So now joining a bounty campaign that has a lot of participants will only get a penny and better find another project that still has a few participants

[iamaruf]

Maybe bounty hunter will agree in your opinion.because they will get High reward.but think that you are one of team member.Team member not going to do this.because more people join in campaign means more brand Awareness and marketing will be huge.So it’s just your personal Opinion.team members or bounty manager not going to accept this.

I think for certain parts of the bounties, there should be a limit. I to a degree agree with this, as companies can also hire professional PR jobs to also get the word out and thereby there can be some of the budget spent on professional marketers and some of the marketing budget can be shared among the community bounty hunters. Also quality over quantity for me is important. Rather than having a ton of people spamming left, right and center, it is better to have a limited participation of people doing a really good job to get the word out in a concise and most professional manner. We don't want the marketing to have a really heavy backlash against the project we are trying to help to promote to the General Public.

I agree to your point, but the bounty managers won't agree. If they limit and put restrictions, the users advertising for them will decrease. Thus, their exposure will also reduce. This means, that they will be paying more to less user for less exposure. Thus, they will consider this ineffective form of advertising.
Honestly, they don't care about spam. As long as they get some kind of exposure, they wouldn't care less. Just avoid bounty programs, and you will see them fixing themselves automatically!

But projects want more exposure without increasing reward pool so they introduced stake based rewards so more participants more exposure but the same money from the bounty team.If bounty managers put restrictions then project bounties will be managed by the team itself.

More exposure more money, that is the way it should be, what OP should have written in his/her post is bounties with low allocation should always have limited participants, let the work fits the reward, some bounties will even add more weeks without extra rewards

How we can find the value of rewards? Based on the percentage they allocated or number of tokens or just ICO based USD value? Nothing will give any idea about the actual value!

First point, Bounty managers arent the ones who do control on the allocation of funds when it comes to marketing stuff.
Second, ICO projects do focus on maximum exposure thats why limiting participants isnt an option.
Third, Even the rewards are big in token amount but you cant still be sure if those coins would have value or none.
So in the end of the day you cant be sure if you would able to earn some penny with bounties.

Unfortunately, but your proposal is opposite to what project developers want to achieve. When someone runs a bounty, they do it to promote the project and make it as visible as possible. According to your proposal, it would limit the number of participants, which would also limit the range of the promotion. Unfortunately, but no one will be interested in such an idea.

Some of bounties manager have done that especially the trusted manager. They will choose the user of this forum who have a good quality post and I saw them very careful when choosing participants to promote the project.

However, since there are a lot of newbie (copper member) who become bounty manager who just choose bounty hunter randomly, even they just make a spreadsheet as a benchmark so as the bounty manager didn't weed out every participant who want to join.

I'll be agree if there is a rule/criteria for being bounty manager. So, the moderator of this forum will just choose the trusted manager to avoid spammer also scam project.

Even if such rules are introduced between Bitcointalk users, any developer can decide who to employ. If he wants, some of his employees will do it on his behalf without the need for an additional person as a bounty manager. If the bounty campaign conditions will be good enough for hunters, they will join regardless of whether it is run by Newbie or Legendary member.
