The success of a project is not the responsibility of bounty hunters alone

[tiang_tower]

It's wise for every bounty Hunter to do research on projects because many bounties are not worth promoting, some bounties are created by scammers and only very few are legit, this is why research is the most important tool for a bounty hunter

That's right, and this should have been done by every bounty hunter for a long time, because in the past too many scammers have made unclear projects in order to deceive investors and bounty hunters in large numbers.

The success of a project depends on the smartness of the team not bounty hunters, the team have to look for ways to gain large investors mind and the only way is introducing high quality projects with better use case

Nowadays the bounty scam cannot exist here because the bounty hunter has experience evaluating new projects. They can check and see which projects are good and which ones are scam. That's why there are very few bounty running right now, but most of the running bounties are now quality and we can join.

[julius caesar]

indeed it needs to be proven, that the project can run effectively or not if without bounty hunter. I do not agree with people who say that bounty hunters are useless, or there are no investors in this forum or social media where bounty hunters promote projects. so, it needs to be proven whether the bounty can still run without the bounty hunter or not, so that there is no longer a stigma against the bounty hunter and all can run well for all parties.

Bounty hunters has a big part in the bounty campaigns. They are the ones who advertise the said bounty campaigns for the investors to invest in this kind of project. But that is not enough actually. The said project must have a good developers also for it to become successful. The successful of it is based on the performance of the developers still and the bounty hunters is only a part of it.

If the project wants to succeed, they first need to have a clear idea and can be implemented. In addition, they must also have a few major partners to attract investors. Investors will never be interested in the project no partner because they look quite weak

[Vishnu.Reang]

Bounty hunters can only help with the advertisement of the project. So their role in the ultimate success of any project is quite limited. If a project has to succeed, then they have to give special attention to the timely development and strict adherence to the timeline. I have seen a lot of very good projects failing upon their listing in an exchange, because the promoters lose their interest.

Some times not so many hunters can do a good research and this has forced them all to try their luck by joining in the all of the bounties to make sure if they can get at least a single project that will pay them all. All of the aspects must work together to get the best result. If there will be a few aspects that will get bad result and the project can be a failed project.

To be frank, this is what most projects do. They will launch a bounty and won't say a word but once the campaign is over they will start giving excuses why the bounty was a waste of time; most times I ask, if the bounty wasn't producing results why not end it half way and pay other than keeping quiet till the end. Projects which do this are not trustworthy at all as it shows lack of credibility from the team. Also, I agree with another point you made, bounty hunters are there to create awareness about the project and it is left for the investors to decide if the project is worth their money or not, that is to say, the products and services within the project also matters. In addition, this notion that bounty hunters always crash the price of tokens it not totally true, what about early investors? Don't they sell once listed?

[Mpamaegbu]

They forgot to ask themselves if their projects are truly presentable or if their project has what it takes to convince the interests of potential investors.

Good products get easily sold with little awareness. The truth is that most of these crypto projects advertised online don't even have a real use-case utility. They are just hypes and sometimes even scams. Now isn't pre-2017 when a lot of unintelligent investments were made by investors who weren't keen on checking up on projects before committing their cash. This is 2020.

So, for me I don't listen to such trash talks and weaning from devs of failed projects. Solidify your projects and sell if investors won't come.

It's true, the bitter truth! Bounty hunter is doing slavery jobs nowadays. Project owners are playing dirty games with the bounty promoters. Many successful projects are not paying to their hunters! And there is no payment from an unsuccessful project where they should still pay because these guys promoted them enough, they failed it's their fault! The problem is bounty hunters are not united, the situation won't be changed until they get united!

[irixo10]

Although bounty hunters don't invest with money but they do with their time. Any team saying bounty doesn't contribute is just trying to cover up their lapses which comes in form of their bad ideas etc. A good project have what it takes to be invested in and just with bounty campaigns it will achieve the desired results and also won't have issues paying their hunters, on the other hand, a bad one tries to find excuses as why they won't pay or reduce the allocation which most of the time is bounty hunters dumping the price, or not getting the desired results, which also is not true.

[Febo]

The success of a project is not the responsibility of bounty hunters alone

1. Bounty hunters are hired with one sole reason to promote ICO or crowdfunding for project.  Nothing else. They have nothing to do with the project.
2. Project that relies its marketing of ICO on bounty hunters is a lost case.  If they are not able to market it on their own they will also not be able to build a successful project.

I have come across some people who said/say, "Bounty hunters have nothing to contribute to our projects."
                                                                                                 OR
                                                              "We did not see the impact of bounty hunters on our project, therefore we are not paying them or better still we will reduce their reward."
                                                                                                 OR
                                                              " There are no investors on this forum."

Lol If it's right so why they still run bounty campaign. When you meet some one say like that, just ask so why he still launches bounty campaign?

All such people responded when the bonus campaign was completed and they simply did not want to pay the bounty hunter.
At this point people say anything is useless, scammers will never pay attention.
This is a sad truth that we have to accept.

Also, I don't agree that there are no investors in this forum. I did invest in several projects before as advertised here in the forum. The project seems legit and everything is in proper place but ending up the value promised after listing didn't materialize, thus, not even worth selling in the market. So if I did invest before, more than possibly, there are a lot here that are more than capable of investing. But with the proliferation of crap and scam projects, very few investors are now looking into potential projects that they can put their money to.

If we think about this logically you will realize it does not make sense, if there were no investors in this forum then why advertise in it and do everything you can to get popular in it as many projects try to do? That is because there is a huge amount of money moving in this forum and they know it, they are just mad they are not getting any of that money, but the market has changed, years ago you could get a lot of money by just creating an ANN thread, now if you cannot show that you have a good idea and the means to make it a reality then no one is going to invest in your project.

Therefore, bounty hunters should not be blamed if a project fails, rather, the developers should go back to the drawing board and correct whatever needs to be corrected. Better still, they should ensure that they have done what is needed to be done, before coming to present what they have for the crypto community.

I agree with you, it is the responsibility of a bounty hunter to create awareness about a project but it is not the responsibility of bounty hunter to force investors to invest in a project. With my experience in bounty hunting, I've seen lots of projects coming up with such flimsy excuses just to deny hunters their due reward.  I think projects need to start working more on their use cases and values they aim to bring to table because with the way new projects are being launched now, they do comes out with no real life solution that will create utility for the token in the long run

[carter34]

In actual light , bounty hunters only throws light to the project in terms of advert, awareness to the people but I don't believe that hunters are responsible for the dead project. A token that is strong enough can grow with just few weeks advert from hunters.A token that already have experienced team is highly likely to survive

[Yamifoud]

We are supposed to promote projects that certainly have a big role for crypto improvement but sadly, some developers never think that way instead they create projects that will only be giving their own benefits while it gives losses to their investors. This is a big disgrace to the crypto world and most likely, this will be the reason why investors now are very picky in choosing for their investment. Well, that should I suppose to do so knowing how tricky is the market with and many projects never went to the market successfully.

Gone are the days that investors invest blindly. They now take their time to study and analyze the project before giving out their money.
If you notice, people come on the telegram groups of projects to ask questions and if they are not satisfied, they leave.

Yes, market conditions have changed, trends have changed, we have to be able to adapt to this. Moreover, more fake projects, scams target you.

Negative things from the development team mentioned by the OP is one proof that they are not professional, looking for scapegoats to cover up their mistakes. We can also understand, the market situation is difficult, even well-planned projects can fail. The development team should be more responsible with fair transparency so that no one feels disadvantaged. We should understand that risk is everywhere.

[Perfect35]

A project developer or that only thinks that bounty hunters should do everything as touching promotion and the success of his project for hi is only joking and deceiving himself. The plain truth id s that, bounty hunters are just advertisers, who work individually under a manager. They should not be held responsible if investor and not forthcoming. They might even have come, but later left for one reason or the other. So, I also believe that they should give us a good project to promote and not the one with no interesting usecase.

[dainoran]

I do not agree when the bounty hunters are deemed useless for the project, because bounty hunters are the ones who spread their project information, if there are no investors who want to join their project, you should not blame the bounty hunters, first check the projects they are working on.
