Altcoins Bounty Hunters are almost alone!

[Mulann2]

This is sad but true that altcoin bounty hunters are almost alone in this forum! No one is here to help you to find a better project to promote! But look at BTC paying campaign! If a BTC paying campaign launched, many Hero, Legendary member starts investigating hard! When they find anything suspicious they tag the bounty manager and keep suggesting people to not promote project! Even they can't wait even one week! For example, BestChange launched Signature and Social Campaign, I got accepted in Social and received payment, but many high ranked people tagged the manager because he did not go through Escrow! They did not give them even one week. Though Bestcahnge got a couple of red trust because of suspicious activities, I have no problem with that!

But look at the altcoin section, no one is here to support you to find a better project, everyone keeps suggesting research yourself, even if your well researched successful project not paying you, still they won't support you! So, from yesterday, I started thinking that Altcoin bounty hunters are very alone! Some guy is working to catch scammers but no one is here to suggest you a better project!

Bounty hunting is no more profitable. It is better to avoid them except the signature campaign. Most startups are failing to generate funds through ICO's or IEO's. So no one here can guarantee you that joining a particular project will be good.

I am not sure about what happened to the Bitcoin project that you are referring to in the first part but, I am associated with a Gambling bounty campaign that pays me in BTC and I have never faced any issues from any of the members in this forum and niether the bounty manager of this campaign.

What a load of crap! Bounty hunting are no longer profitable and yet you are busy campaigning for 777coin, you clearly don't have any idea what you are rambling about, I wonder how someone like you got accepted in that campaign, you have nothing to offer it is better to be silent, infact, I would suggest you go look up the meaning of bounty in a dictionary,

It is the truth about what the OP is saying,  all the forum police spend so much time investigating any btc paying bounty, yobit, bestchance are some of the example, but they never have a second to spare to check out all the load of scam bounty from the alts side,
What is worth doing is worth doing well.

Don't worry when bitcointalk forum become most interested for discussion I think many bounty campaign will launch every day, just about lucky or not with participated in many bounty campaign project, I know many bounty hunter are tired with many campaign not worth and always have lower price after distributing, but keep trust with your self one day you can receive higher reward payment.

Well they do tag bounty projects which is proven to be scams. That way we are avoid wasting more time into supporting them in any means.

Drama has no place when you do bounties.
Just do your job and hope you will be paid at how much effort you did.
If not, then life goes on. Take another job and hope again.

I cannot deny that it was most of the project here in the forum are really scam project, only few of them I could say anyhow paying the bounty rewards to all their participants but mostly are not for real. if this situation will be change, probably bitcointalk forum will be close for sure because there will be no good at all to stay here anymore for sure.

It is the responsibility of the managers that they care for the bounty hunters and have to ensure the confirmed payment of their participants. If they will care then the issue is solved. It will help both the manager and the bounty hunters as the bounty hunters will get their payment for their work and they all will have trust on that manager so they all will join the campaigns of only that manager so the demand of that manager will be increased and he will also earn a good income from his work.

I am doing the BestChange signature and sadly I noticed it too that they are giving red trust only because he did not show the fund in escrow. Then why they don't follow the same path in altcoin bounty? If they follow the same then there will be less scam project! Mate, you raised such a valuable question.

I heard with bestchange signature campaign report by many moderator forum but when you received payment at the first week you can keep continue for joining bestcange signature campaign, never worried with some one try to report it because they are not lucky received in bestchange signature campaign.

Yes, I think some people are jealous as they did not accept by the BestChange! The same thing happened in Yobit campaign too, but the good thing is Yahoo handled it very perfectly! As BestChange has no trust like Yahoo, so people gave them red trust even before seeing the first week result, I was really shocked! I don't know whether Bestchange scammed to anyone, heard that they just locked the fund for a while if they did, they already have red tags for that. But for the signature campaign, they are very honest with every word!

If there actually would be well organized discord community for bounty hunters, i would join. But that's hard work to moderate as it most probably would be just full of referral spam when you think where we are coming from. But organizing would be a cool thing.

If scam hunter of Bitcointalk forum starts investigating all the altcoin bounty campaign, and if there have a rule that you have to show the fund in escrow balance before starting your project's bounty, then a number of scam bounty will be less and the forum will be much helpful! I like what Julerz is doing! All his altcoin bounty campaign has funded in an escrow wallet. I agree with you that Bitcointalk high ranked member may come into altcoin to save newbies from scammers what they are doing in Bitcoin paying a bounty section!

This is a heart-touching fact and it is the truth. As far as altcoins projects are concerned, most especial those that pay in their tokens, including Eth and other altcoins, you are just on your own. If anything happens, that perhaps did not favour the bounty hunters, the highest judgement will be to tag the manager and that will be after the bounty must have ended. Well, with time, we might begin to see some changes, but I doubt it.

Not all of the negative tags are due to the campaign not having escrow. Those early feedbacks are just a warning to the people applying since they're risking their time to promote their site then few days past they're caught promoting some of the bad exchanges known to freeze funds and not respond to complaints. The problem with altcoin campaigns is there's so many of them to monitor it'll take so much time and effort before you can determine which projects are better than the other.

[pixie85]

Sad but that is the reality. They are both different that is why you should not expect the same treatment. In the services section, they are hiring/offering services such as promoting a built-up or already launched project, they don't undergo any crowdfunding, more on coming from their own pockets unlike in bounty campaigns which are really the opposite of it.

Op has a point but you are right too. As most of the altcoin bounty go through the crowdfunding process, and their payments rely on softcap! But yet if those high ranked member starts investigating the altcoin bounties then I think scam project will be very less! Otherwise many people will be supporting scam projects!

Bounty hounters have only their own greed to blame for the state of things.

There was almost no moderation in these campaigns and anybody could become a manager. Random managers would accept random hunters, often with negative trust, those people would then spam and make people hate the campaign they were posting for. This had usually a negative influence on the project that was decimated after going public. This was like a downward spiral every time.

[Coinraptor]

I think if really these valuable forum members come to help the altcoin bounty hunters then yes, I agree with you that scam project will be less in this forum. Bitcointalk is the biggest platform to discuss crypto, so, if everyone starts neglecting shit projects then they will start promoting their scam project in medium or other forums like Cryptotalk, but yet they won't get enough investors! So, I think everyone should come to suggest people the good bounty and the scam one!

Why do this project need escrow? Find out. It is difficult to support any altcoin with the scam rate, same with the forum moderators' attitude to altcoin. The forum does not research any altcoin project as far as I know, It has never been their duty, they only react to scam report from the forum members. Bounty hunter also dont do any research for most of their projects, they are only interested in the reward for the activities. And any scam acquisition both on this forum and outside are usually not supported and criticized by fellow bounty hunters. This attitude is very bad and I always expect the members to allow projects team to defend themselves on this at all time. We have seen enough scam and any shred of it should be attack. 

[gundala]

because it's really not easy to find projects that are truly legit, anything can happen because basically cryptocurrency is full of unthinkable things.  So do with your own risk, do the best analysis possible, make your own standards and don't be easily influenced.  popular projects with many participants are not guaranteed to give you a lot of profit, and vice versa.  so do it with enjoy and always be ready to face the worst possible.

They are tired of no worth on altcoin bounties. So, they don't focus there and just give suggestions to take your own research. I think we cannot blame them. Basically, we must know our selves whether good projects or bad projects. If we always depend on supports from others, we won't be smarter bounty hunters.

New bounty hunters can't rely on any one project(without signature) for long time without got nothing(stake or USD). Bestchange has so many problem but hunters are posting that received payment. Suppose "Alchemy" is very good project but lack of update, hunters leave the campaign. Hunter's are leaving because they got nothing even after successful project (sometimes).

[Doell]

dont be discouraged we have rules are fair and that is helped by high trust rank ,managers without trust must use escrow in order to prevent things that are't desired in the workers' room ,what's wrong with using escrow anyway can safe money too ,well I see a few tags related to manager there are accusations besides escrow too ,the same in altcoin section there's no difference in here apart from that we must also a role in analyzing project we are in a community of togetherness

[inanilujimi]

that is because the person who gets the result is not someone else but himself, the red flag that is made indicates that we must be vigilant does not mean that we cannot participate in the program, good or bad the results are choices that have been taken.

This is exactly why I think Altcoin campaigns are monitored way less than Bitcoin-paying campaigns. Expanding on the topic of why there's more altcoin campaigns than Bitcoin campaigns, it's often much easier and often cheaper for projects to pay out in their own cryptocurrency than Bitcoin, which those projects might need to go out of their way to obtain.

Some of the other issues that result in negative feedback on a campaign also include a project not paying out users in the past for other related things or even major problems in the projects themselves. Feedback's still extremely subjective at the end of the day, but a transparent campaign with minimal or no issues relating to payments is generally good enough.

Doing bounty campaigns has been profitable for years in time frame 2016-2017, in 2018, it is too hard to possibly join a bounty that is somehow decent. Most of the bounty hunters are just working for nothing and wasting their time for tokens that aren't valuable. But to consider, bounty hunters aren't alone in the first place. There are allot of group chats in telegram groups some are focused on revenge on scam bounties, and they basically build up network of bounty hunters to make sure a project will fall if it scams them. In addition, with our forum community, most are bounty hunters and we are all powerful when we unite as one.
