ICO/IEO projects are lying to airdrop and bounty participants for a long time!

Don't say "$50 worth of tokens". But rather say "$50 worth of tokens in ICO/IEO price", so that people like me may be aware that the reward we get is not what we expect. There is 99.99% chance that the reward we get are going down to shit, and only 0.01% chance that it would actually go to the moon!

That is the fact, it might not be a problem during the 2017 season where most projects can reach ICO prices easily even more. However, it seems to be a mode of fraud at this time, where the market is saturated so that prices are difficult to go up. But that is the language of marketing, it is like a public secret and general rules where the value will be achieved if the ICO price is met. So yes we have to realize that, and for newbies of course this will be an important lesson so as not to be easily influenced by the lure of high rewards, it all depends on market acceptance, high volatility, so must be ready to face a variety of possibilities.

Almost all airdrops/bounties are like that to invite many participants who want to join. But i feel sad for the participants who joined because they were lied by the project and when they received tokens from their work thats didn't match their expectations

While I feel sad for them as well at the same time bounty hunters are themselves guilty of their conditions, if they began to refuse to work for all of those projects that treat them so badly and that pays them in coins that have no value yet and they even force them to go through KYC then all of those projects will have to change the way they treat bounty hunters almost overnight because they need them in order to promote their projects, but since that is probably never going to happen then they have to endure being treated like trash.

That's a marketing strategy. It's users who should be cautious about what they are doing and should learn more about what they are saying.
A seller would want to sell as much and make as much people advertise for itself. Users should choose what suits than and research about individual project they are advertising for and make a decision.

Exactly, decisions should be made as an investor and not the other way round. Many fall victim of scam, while others are been left with dead tokens or shitcoins because they allow the marketers or the projects team schooled them to obey their deceits which end up negatively as they invest. Am always prone to scrutiny and ask questions when dem fits, just to avoid loose while I invest on cryptocurrencies.

Thats right. Most projects are cheating airdrop hunters and bounty hunters. Its pathetic situation. If the team is having such views, thats already visible in their investments raised. May be thats karma..

[HabiebRiziq]

Its because the project you promoted is a shit project, stop fooling yourself some bounty projects are just garbage tokens, i have learnt my own lesson this year, now i only promote projects that makes sense, they can still fail but better than promoting repetitive project ideas or no real use case projects

Many new projects only repeat ideas and have no real use case. And I think today many people are choosing to invest in projects that have real use cases and if we are often tired of new projects or feel that this new project is a waste of time, it is better to invest in top coins and trade than bounty hunting.

thats why you should not participated in airdrop/bounty that you know that there are no capital to starr up and use for marketing. If they cant use thier money for the project who else will be invested and choose them to thier money?

[hulla]

One thing that I really do not like about ICOs, IEOs, etc., is that they are misleading us for a very long time when it comes to the token price.

For example, there's one airdrop event in which you will receive an amount of tokens worth $10, $20, etc., and bounty rewards which you can get $50 worth of tokens for participating in a signature campaign.

But here's a harsh truth where ICOs and IEOs are lying to us for most of the time.

How can we say if the airdrop or bounty reward is exactly $50 where it can even get dumped in exchanges?

There is no guarantee that the airdrop and bounty tokens we receive are "fixed amounts" (unless if it's a stablecoin or popular one like BTC, ETH, XRP, etc.)

So here is my advice to all ICOs and IEOs when you are doing airdrop and bounty program to participants.

Don't say "$50 worth of tokens". But rather say "$50 worth of tokens in ICO/IEO price", so that people like me may be aware that the reward we get is not what we expect. There is 99.99% chance that the reward we get are going down to shit, and only 0.01% chance that it would actually go to the moon!

So to all ICOs and IEOs please, just stop lying to us about this!

I know most of you here can relate to this situation after so many months/years of participating in airdrops and bounty opportunities.

Does any of the airdroppers and bounty hunters agree or not with my statement? Feel free to comment here!

OP, i really don't get you because you said airdrop and bounty with the inclusion of ICOs and IEOs are liars yet you participated in one.
Meanwhile, i can assure you that it not the fault of the project owner but the bounty hunters which are hungry to earn some penny for the hard time spent.
What I'm saying is that 80% of bounty hunters of these days don't have the required knowledge to know scam project.

Agreed, that is what they call marketing strategy, managers are using such words in order for them to get the attention of the hunters, seeing a high bounty reward could get an attention to all participants that are hardly searching for a high paid bounties. Us, bounty hunters we need to be aware on what is happening, it is our job to understand how does the campaign we are joining will be, and we can ask the managers if we have a questions regarding everything.

[cassavachips]

But what they said for me was not wrong and indeed it was a marketing word to attract many participants who took part in their airdrop campaign, and indeed your advice for them to say the right thing was very good action for hunters

[Dalmar]

Not a great advice, just don't forget that many bounty hunters made a quite good amount in the last bull market. The bounty rewards should be hidden by the bounty hunters, this is not job contract. The fixed-rate per bounty participant will slow down the developing bounty industry and the stumbled bounty campaigns will not pay the token. Why just simply ask the stable coin bounty rewards, wouldn't it be easier?

I agree with you. Indeed, the administrators of crypto projects almost all lie about earning money, well, that’s understandable, since they try to be attracted by the beautiful numbers of the participants, but only then when they call the exchange the price drops 10 or even 100 times and we, the participants in the bounty, get a penny. We are also deceived when they say that the token will go on the exchange, and as a result, after the ICO or IEO, they tell us that they have the platform in the first place, and the token is a three-pronged and not the main part. And that's not all. Very often, bounty participants are accused of selling tokens or lowering the price, but let’s say, many times it was when the bounty participants did not receive tokens yet, and the price of tokens fell 10 or 100 times. To be honest, I’m very sad to look at all this.

[spadormie]

Dude, you're missing the point of this cryptocurrency thing. Price is always volatile if it's btc or even alts. There's no way a project will lie to bounty participants or even to its investors by that way. The only way I can think of is when this projects will runaway after they get some money out of their sketchy icos.

This is simply a way of saying to attract more participants, I think the project is also not wrong to say so. I think the Bounty hunter, when participating, already understands how projects are talking about the price of tokens.

[gabbie2010]

This is a strong awareness to bounty airdrop participants about the risk involved in promotion of ICOs  from my  own personal experience as a bounty Hunter I had never been paid according to the expected payout after the token is listed some school of thought believed that it is the market forces would determine the final price or payout however a drop in the price which often occur in most listing means hunters would have been cheated.

[yehestielsiburian]

I think that is the right thing. Placing payment amount for bounty participants based on their ICO or IEO price. There is nothing wrong with that, even if the price when the list on exchanges goes down it means that the project is not good or marketing techniques are not good from the project. Concerning payment and estimation, this is normal

That's not what it is mate and i believe most bounty hunters misunderstood the whole concept because cryptocurrency is know for been volatile and if the team said a certain (10) token is ~$1 during their initial offering that doesn't mean the price will be the same during token distribution.
Meanwhile, bounty and airdrop campaign are actually not for the same purpose because airdrop was meant for the project to gain more social follower, like etc in other to fast track the project listing on big exchange site while bounty is use to attract the investors.

The answer to airdrop, I guess it is a marketing strategy so I don't think it's wrong to lure "free airdrop worth 50$". To be honest, I'm actually annoyed and very disappointed because of the problem "value" of the airdrop, but finally I realized it.

The answer to the bounty, even though there is an explanation of the estimation in each bounty thread but sometimes this often makes the bounty participants disappointed because of the uncertainty about the results to be obtained. indeed this also includes marketing strategies but this is the most frustrating compared to airdrop.

They cannot stop it because for them the method is fairly effective, but for hunters it is very annoying. even so everything must be accepted because it's free money. I do not support them but in reality this is what we must accept.

This is one of the games bounty managers play to gather members for the campaign. Therefore, such projects cannot be successful. Properly working projects essentially allocate fewer rewards and always have limited places and do not make false promises. Because devs know that they will succeed and they are confident in this matter. and why should they lie if there is confidence?

And use that fake amount of bounty to get more participants join . After the bounty you will realise that the payment they give to you can only buy a candy and the amount exxpected is just a dream, and sometimes you get nothing because the token has no exchange to trade.

Well, you should know it when you are going to participate any airdrop or bounty. Crypto-currency always volatile, and when you are joining bounty or airdrop that period is ICO period, so obviously that price is current price. It doesn't make sense mentioning IEO or ICO price.

Even projects themselves don't know what will be price after listed on any exchange. Its totally depend on traders, so why they will mention regarding prices. You should have basic idea that its default price of IEO& ICO. And you must work accordingly. For additional info, don't expect too much from airdrop or bounty. Nowadays very rarly getting success especially ICO projects. Do your own diligence before join any projects.
