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?

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

[BitDane]

I think it is really hard for a start-up project to get fund.  Lots of investors had been burned during the crypto winter thus making them to avoid ICO, or IEO.  Scammers will not be hindered by this and they will take any opportunity to scam people aside from that the project if you look at the bounty board are just some copy paste projects.  Probably project that is so potential had find their own ways of advertising themselves than just setting up a bounty here.

I think the number of new bounty projects are decreasing over time as the people are losing their interest in it just because of the crash of the crypto market at present. Obviously there is a little number of scam projects when whole crypto projects are decreasing. But there are still scam projects on the lookout for potential investors. Be aware.

[samuraijin]

scammers want to raise money, in the past they only had a little capital to make websites, whitepapers and others to get a lot of profit but unfortunately the people in this forum are much smarter, they no longer invest in starving scammers and in the end they leave the project also did not come again another new bounty because I know they are running out of funds, hopefully more projects that will be really serious and have the funds to hold a bounty, at least projects that have real products

[joseyphil82]

Numbers of scam projects are decreasing and it makes me feels so good, new projects are having hard time to raise funds and scam projects aren't getting any penny, lol very soon scammers will have to find their way off here, crypto wallets will still be a target and phising schemes will still be around too

It caused by so many member here have already experience with so many scam project and they become more selective to choose which is the scam project. I'm also seeing that so many members are actively searching for the scam project and then they create awareness to make sure the newcomers will not fall into it. Let those scammers died by themselves. They will never able to scam investors and crypto users again.
I'm so glad to see we are on the right way

I dont think that was the reason, scammers know now that it will hard for them to raised more money thats why they stop doing it.
If they found a new way to scam people they will return again but for now they need to know what kind of investment will be next big thing then they will make thier own also. Also investors is smarter now after failing many times by participating in any ICO they are now learn their lessons.

[jessyj48]

I still fear for new crypto newbies, i hope they have aims to seek for answers first before spending any money on any project, i hope they can see top altcoins as the right coins to invest on, not new projects that haven't prove anything yet, if this is how many newbies thinks crypto space scammers will dried out

[mrdeposit]

The community is tired of it. Bounties of the new projects have been in bad condition for over 1 year. Almost 1 in 100 may bring you a little profit, the remaining 99 are a waste of time. Since this situation has been going on for a long time, "tired" is the most appropriate expression. Participating btc paid campaigns is more appropriate in this case.

[affandi]

reducing scammers together with reduced ICO projects. They are still there, but now they (the SCAMMER) are looking for new ways to steal investors' money. It is unfortunate, the number of fraudulent projects makes investors, especially new investors, so doubt with cryptocurrency.

Yes, it has been a number of periods back then I felt there was no quality bounty project. In fact there are a lot of scamm in it, but lately I have felt that the bounty campaign will soon improve as the number of scammers decrease due to the increase in the existing security system, if this is maintained then in the future we will not have to worry too much about the existing bounties. But that does not mean we can be remiss, we must remain vigilant.

[desticy]

The activity of the bounty company declined throughout 2019.
It's funny that the fact that January 2020 is very different from January 2019 in terms of the number of bounties surprises you.

This is a commonplace pattern. I am sure that in January 2021 the situation will be much worse.
The time of the bounty of companies is already in the past.

No, scammers aren't tired of what they are doing, just because  there are no much bounties around for this month doesn't mean they won't show up later. The cryptocurrency market has gone beyond the former garbage we saw back in 2018 and 2019.

Scammers are more careful because many were found and catch up with the law, they were punish accordingly. Although, they may still be around us with obvious reasons, just to monitor the goings.

[Furious 7]

I think this year many bounties will emerge and maybe with a new project still under development so the bounty has not yet been launched.
Still the same as in the past at every bounty there must be a scamer who appears so we have to be careful before joining so I hope this year's bounty will really develop the project well.

I'm curious as to if you have any kind of statistics or any whatnot that can corroborate your information, we cannot agree to that based on just what you say. But if it's true then maybe the altcoin market will improve and the investors will likely be selecting the good projects, making it easier for them to make ROI through the year.

2020 hasn't started bad for the altcoin market, and maybe it's a good indication that the industry may experience a good year, better than last year and the one before it. But investors should still be careful and not take this as an indication that the market has become safe, research is still very much needed.

[Zeke_23]

We can see our current situation that way. But, it doesn't mean that scammers are really tired already. Maybe they are just waiting for the right moment or thinking of a new strategy to gather more victims that they will scam sooner or later.
Scammers are smart as well, especially right now that the market recovery is about to approach us, they must be watching in the shadows waiting to attack.

[spike420211]

The fewer projects on the market, the more difficult it is for scammers to get lost among their many. Indeed, in essence, scammers are not particularly smart, they copy project templates in the same manner.
In the absence of good projects, the entire cam lies on the surface and is easy to identify. So now they are hiding.

[bassbity]

Scamer will continue to exist if a lot of bounties have sprung up, especially now that market conditions have begun to recover, they must have prepared strategies to deceive people with new actions so we have to really be able to prevent that.
Many projects will emerge this year. We must be ready to face it happily, hopefully with the new project, unlike the year before many projects have died because of a lack of funds.

Perhaps because it is currently difficult to get investors to want to invest in new projects is a reason that at least new bounties are emerging now because they know that for now it will be difficult to benefit from the new project bounties and I think many investors are now prefer to invest in the top coins rather than into new projects.
