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

[mirakal]

The success of the project is the responsibility of the team, they are the one who makes the strategy and bounty hunters just follow the strategy.
It's more like the bounty hunters are just a worker, they do a specific task but the team are the ones who are managing it as they are seeing results as they evaluate it, if the project is not successful, that is due to the lack of advertising or the project alone is not attractive to the investors.

Thread title says it all. OP is right. For instance, whenever a client or project team asks me to run their bounty campaign, I always tell them that there's no guaranteed increase in their sales (if they are doing an IEO/ICO) since the bounty campaign itself isn't a means of generating more sales but just a way to increase the project's reach and awareness.
Bounty hunters shouldn't be burdened with the thought that the project or startup failed to reach its goals because of them.
There are many factors that could affect a project or startup's success; whether it's a lack of funding, internal conflict, lame/redundant use-cases or just poor management with the team, but it is not the bounty hunters.

A workers an advertiser that they will pay a percentage of the token's they have. Project team should always find other alternative ways to make it more attractive to investors not only having a campaign here. they should always find other way to advertise thier project so there will more people see the potential of the project they want to build.

Bounty hunters will only be happy if the project they are promoting turn successful but the success lies in the hand of the team, how strong and determined they are is what will push the project to success, all bounty hunters can do is to promote the project

[cassavachips]

They are garbage projects if they say that, bounty hunter also has an important role for them but it all depends on the project and the team. Investors are also not stupid, they will also choose projects that they think are worth investing in.

So the new project has to work hard to do that and the bounty hunter becomes enough help needed. Many projects are satisfied and some are not and that is natural because not all projects will succeed

[Novatech8]

If devs full baked their new projects it will do well in the market, even scam projects are fooling people and yet many fall victim, I believe what investors need is some new an different, corona coin has exit scam now and many are a victim to the act, what new devs need to do is to introduce better use case

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."

These are all flimsy excuses given by the team whose projects failed.
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.

These are the usual excuse and blame games of not only project who fails, but projects who refuses to pay bounty hunters.
They then resort to downplaying the efforts of the platform, and efforts of the bounty hunters.


And it is hard to fault them, because even scam projects are hard to trace, not to mention failed and closed projects.
Bounty hunters just need to sit up and prioritize right.

Many blame the bounty hunter when the price falls after the initial listing even though the bounty reward is usually given more than 30 days after listing. Bounty hunters are always blamed, even though bounty hunters only help promote token sales

[bakasabo]

Its the developers fault if the project didnt succeed.

Dont forget social media marketing. It is developers and SMM fault if the project failed.  First failed to make project useful, unique and desired. Second failed to bring that to masses.

The project can be super successful, but if no one knows about, then there were no use of this project at all.

It's obvious that bounty hunters are also a cause of dump after listing. Because the reason is they are joining bounty to earn and after that, they don't care about the project. But on my own, it depends on the project that I promoted, because I know how potential they are because from the start I was there promoting them. It is all on the project owner, they can able to have to buy back to maintain their coin price up not become dump because of bounty hunters.

actually its not thier fault its the owner fault if they cant make thier token price stable once its listed in exchange. Its thier job to do this they can even use part of the raised fund and use it and set buyorders so every bounty hunters that did not belive in thier project can sell it.

Right from the beginning till the end, the blame has always been on the bounty hunter. They do not stop calling hunters' names whenever anything goes wrong. This does not only apply to developers but also investors. Some investors forget the fact that the onus is on the project team to work on what they have and prove to the world that they are able to fulfil their promises. I bet you, if a project team fulfils at least 90% of the promises made, there will not be any problem with the price. In fact, such a project is bound to be more valuable.

The duty of a bounty hunter is not to get money out of the pocket of an investor to invest in a project, rather, it is to just create awareness about the project. E.g, by wearing the signature and avatar of the project on the forum. This will only call the attention of the investor. It is now left for such a project to showcase the stuff it is made of. If it contains nothing meaningful, I am sorry, it might not succeed, no matter how much awareness or marketing is done. Only very few projects scale through this without good substance, which is now very rare.

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.

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 totally agree. The success of the project is not to be taken care or be a full responsibility of the bounty hunters because the success of the project resides on the idea of the project itself. Bounty hunter's existence, purpose and goal is to raise up awareness among this forum and other platforms where the crowd would recognize or be aware that such project is existing. Now, the developers behind the project is the one who should be taking care of the success of the project since it is their own creation. In fact, bounty hunters are a great help for the project to be known by other people inside or outside this forum due to their advertising works that works on promoting the project. It is a team effort for the project to get successful. Coordination or team work is a must need for the project to get along the process of being successful. So it is unrighteous to just put the blame on the bounty hunters for the fail of the projects because it is not their fault so it is still in need to take into consideration to pay the bounty hunters for the work they have done for the project and not to put all the blame on them.

[Greatchu]

Getting paid for creating awareness for projects is the job of bounty hunters, they aren't the developers, they aren't the team that put the project together, how can bounty hunters be responsible for the success of a project or not?

[AicecreaME]

Exactly. It is not our fault if their project doesn't have any potential therefore it failed, guess why, because simply they didn't put enough effort to make their projects successful, or should I say they are just after people who will invest and promote their project and in the end, they will run with all of the money with their lame excuses. We, bounty hunters can't do anything about it, even we post an scam accusation to them, they don't care, because we didn't even know them and they already get what they want, that's thebsad reality to it of the projects nowadays.

[Byakuga]

It's simply because hunters dump once they get paid, if devs and team don't like this move from bounty hunters they should just rethink and maybe start using stable coins or Bitcoin to pay bounty hunters, you can't force bounty hunters not to sell

Bounty hunters always find their way to take advantage and if opportunities open for them they will grab it right away, if the team is not okay with dumping their project better to provide bitcoin or other forms of payment which will not affect the value of their coin once it's been added to exchange.
Bounty hunters always have the options on whatever things they wanted to do after receiving the rewards coming from the team who allow them to participate.

[betty11]

Regardless of how good your bounty community marketing will be, it won't amount to much success if the team have nothing good to offer. Investors read about team and their determination and sincerity. People don't follow celebrity HYiP of ICO/IEO these days, if they by chance do, it's to buy and dump as fast as possible.

Simply put bounty hunters have become the favourite excuse of developers and investors, they blame everything on bounty hunters as if it is the responsibility of bounty hunters to make the project a success, when the only responsibility that bounty hunters actually have is to advertise the existence of a new project to a large audience, after that has been done the responsibility of bounty hunters ends and now it is up to the developers to try to make a good project that it is attractive to as many investors as possible.

[Kvalentine]

Remove the 'alone' in the topic because the success of a project is not bounty hunters responsibility, bounty hunters only advertise what the team cooked up, either good or bad
