Is it just me?

January 2019 we have more bounties at that time but this year January seem to be different, very few bounty projects shows up, I'm not saying scam projects aren't around but this forum seem relieved from many junky projects like that of 2019, maybe scammers are tired of not getting answers in return? Maybe people are now smarter and scammers are starving? I so wish so 🙏 lol what about you?

Too many scam projects makes people (both bounty hunters and investors) must be careful with bounties. So I think there must be less bounty in 2020, it also makes me feel safer.

I have the same thoughts as you, I see that in early 2020 ICO projects that appeared were not so many, different in 2018-2019 many ICO projects emerged and ended in fraud. but I'm a little relieved, that the ICO project currently looks lonely and might reduce my worries about fraud.

[Zionatin]

It seems like there is maybe less scammy type bounties out there but most of them look exactly the same and copy-paste each other which I do not like. Why not write your own bounty rules instead of blindly copying others?
I still see so many people making post after post in bounty sections with so many pages and sometimes thousands of hunters in one project but sometimes they help the wrong projects. I still think bounty hunters need to read more and do more research before jumping in as well as stop supporting bounties that seem to go on forever and ever month after month.

it seems that investors lose the interest in the ico  as icos are struggling to raise the funds and people do not invest blindfold. Another reason for the less bounty campaigns is spamming and cheating, in 2018 alot of people made their multiple id's on this forum to cheat the campaigns so projects do not offer bounties much

[Plinteng]

You are not alone, I personally also realize that in early 2020 not many ICO projects were present in this industry. but that does not mean we can be relieved. because scamers are always looking for ways to fool their victims, scamers are still around us. it's important for anyone to always be on guard because scamers will never stop launching their evil intentions.

well there are too many fake projects in 2019 maybe they are looking for ways to cheat using other methods like new exchanges are currently appearing and there are many reports that fake exchanges are manipulating data be careful because fraudsters are everywhere

[Coinraptor]

I agree with you, scammers are really not seeing any hope, lol! I just noticed, today a project called stepchain removed theirs. ANN and bounty thread, that's mean they are exit scam even before launching any kind of ICO or IEO! It's mean those shitty scammers weren't seeing any hope to scam people. We don't need lots of bounty projects, we need only the good ones!

i know scammer will become more advanced now on this year unlike on the past.  WhIch is they are now waiting for the rebound again once more prejoct emerging also , but more on high quality than legitimate projects so that no one can determine it easily .  They are so brilliant tbh! And there's no way they will stop as long more investors keep seeking for good investment.  

Scammers don't sleep and don't retire, only their ways change. Bounty scams are really a low and unprofitable way of scamming. Real big and profitable scams are on coins that don't even need bounties because they're based on big names and promotions like HEX. These coins give the devs millions of dollars in profits in just a few months and disappear. They don't have to cheat bounties or even respond on bitcointalk. Everything is done on social media.

Because in recent months it was quiet and many bounty participants left or went on hiatus due to conditions that were not conducive and unfavorable. So, maybe you are right to say because there are few participants and scammers are not too interested. However, we must always be vigilant. Choose a bounty that is really legit, don't forget to make sure when the distribution is, is the token locked or not? and if possible choose a bounty that gives BTC, ETH, or other potential altcoin rewards, if not possible, make sure the bounty that you support already has a market and is ready to trade with a good history.

[FanatMonet]

The days of the “Wild West in cryptocurrencies” have passed, it used to be almost every ICO, it could raise millions of dollars in general regardless for what purpose they raised money. Now with this it has become better, no longer outright scams.

It might be due to so many members, investors are getting smarter before joining some new projects nowadays. I actually kinda like it this way. There's not that many new shady projects showing up. Well, bounty hunters also decreasing in numbers day by day because they finally realized that doing bounties nowadays sometimes not even worth their time or effort. And I don't really get what you mean that scammers are getting tired. I mean, scammers are always around us, they are just patiently waiting for the opportunity to arise.

[barabarian1]

You're right the number of gift projects is decreasing. because most prize hunters have been more careful in choosing bounty projects. only gift projects that have good characteristics are followed. and most investors are no longer interested in investing in bounty projects. so most gift projects cannot develop and become scam projects. and this ultimately prevents developers from making gift projects.

[GideonGono]

I think that now even scammers do not do any projects because they can’t get anything if they will create some kind of project. the maximum that they can do is spend the time of stupid bounty hunters and their own. they won’t be able to collect any money simply because now no one is not investing in new projects, and also all people has learned long time ago how to understand which projects are scammers

They cannot get a lot because investor don't also rely on bounty. Also because some of manager don't also accept some project because their name getting into worst so they didn't 100% trustful because of the scammer project creator.

In my own opinion, maybe the reason why bounties started to become few nowadays because scammers are getting tired from it or no one would like to create new projects. They also knew that there are only few investors nowadays, that is why new projects nowadays don't have any good value in their exchange.

[preikaler]

yes maybe scammers are tired, because people who are on the forums are smarter and scammers are also very difficult to raise funds but at least with at least a bounty we can be more careful in doing research

[doctor877]

Times have changed , it takes genuineness for any new project to raise funds because almost everyone is now wiser. That's why there is decrease in rate of new bounties. So if anyone must come out , it must be a good project.

[crossabdd]

this is my personal reason.
- 2019 too many junk projects. so bounty hunters are tired of looking good. I personally stopped hunting bounty at the end of 2018. because none of the projects that I participated in had paid me.
- 2019 The ICO can't attract investors, so the project can't grow. and ends with a scam.
- the move of ICO to IEO made crypto project eliminate the campaign. so it is very quiet towards the campaign.
- the project in 2019 is no longer interested, from investors or from bounty hunters. because it considers all projects to be nonsense.

Most participants and investors are now more skeptical and wiser in choosing legit bounties because they have learned too much from their previous experiences. We can't deny the fact that most of us have been scammed by fake projects so we're now more observant and know how to get rid of scammers.

[marilynmanson21]

scammers are not tired, they are waiting for the market to recover, so are investors, investors will return to the market when the market has recovered,
and when the market recovers, everything will recover, and of course, we must also be prepared and observant with the scammer project.
