BEWARE OF HUNTER'S SYNDROME....

[Huntler1993]

Why do we blame hunters and not the project teams for some initiatives taken by them. But also many thinks crypto hunters are greedy and cheaters but I see it as smartness, they always find loop holes to get their way through. Some finish a project and are richer than most investors(Hunter's Syndrome)  . So I always say don't feel sorry for a hunter since as their name suggest they could easily kill a project with one shot lolx. Sometimes I just follow project campaigns  rules and laugh:
* Some years ago many project had no KYC
*Now various project are doing all sort of KYC from ID's, passport, videos, audios etc yet still HUNTER will Always be a HUNTER
All that a HUNTER want is to make his or her lifetime MONEY from a single project through any fair and foul means.
 
I know a time will come we will have to follow up in person's to company's office  for our reward to curb this behavior.
How can we cure or tame this Hunters Syndrome?

Wow you're wrong. Every hunters aim is not to make gains through any means possible out here. People carry out their tasks faithfully till the end of a campaign. Every worker deserves their pay. Hunters are paid promoters no need hating souch on them.

[semobo]

But in 2020 I doubt any bounty hunter will make such huge amount compared to the investors or the project team because the quality got reduced in a huge amount not the rewards so bounty hunters are not in their golden run and being a bounty hunter will give more mental stress due to lot of scam projects and efforts wasted.

[DarkDays]

Pretty sure there aren't any bounties currently in operation that will pay out lifetime amounts of money for simple bounty tasks, regardless whether they're cheating the system or not.

Even some of the best bounties back in 2017 didn't pay out lifetime amounts of money unless you live in a third world country and consider less than $10,000 to be enough to last a life time.

Realistically, hunters might as well do whatever they can to get the advantage. The vast majority of bounties are completely worthless so there's really no harm in gaining an edge over something so likely to fail.

Anybody with any intelligence would take the time they spend bounty hunting and actually work on something fruitful—like learning a new skill or developing business relations.

I do not think that this can be fixed. For a year I see that people constantly write about the problems associated with bounty campaigns and I believe that nothing will change. Everything will become harder. I'm afraid that next year the bounty hunters will receive less and less money

This is a wrong assumption.
A hunter cannot make lifetime money from a single project when he is not the owner of that project.
If you own a project and you have most of the tokens in your possession, then you might say that such a person will make lifetime money from it, which is like a retirement fund.
Most times, hunters try their luck on projects, perhaps they will get a substantial reward from it, seeing that a well-paid bounty these days is not so common.

[kingzpro]

I do not think that anything of that sort exists, regarding your allegation of bounty hunters being greedy i think asking for their rightful reward after following all the rules and performing all the tasks for months, everyone has the right to ask for reward, just imagine at your workplace your company does not pay you after taking work from you after a month, would you as for your salary or not? What if the company then calls you greedy, how would you feel then? Just sit back and think. And yes, lastly i would say that if someone breaks rules and tries to cheat or fale things then such person should not be rewarded but it is the right of each and every bounty hunter to be rewarded on time and the amount should be good as well.

Honestly, bounty hunters are to be blame in some case while the project team are responsible for managing the project and make it prosper rather than quench in a thin air.

But also many thinks crypto hunters are greedy and cheaters but I see it as smartness,

Each time i went through the bounty section all i can see is 90% greedy bounty hunters which barely read project concept and the necessary requirement before participated in a bounty campaign. Meanwhile, no one should call that smartness but greed and cheat.

Some finish a project and are richer than most investors(Hunter's Syndrome)

Only bounty hunter that registered with alt account will be richer as you claimed through bounty even back in the early days when bounty pays well.

I think this could be true to a greater extent when we have good paying bounty projects.  However, this time around, if an hunter make his her way through some multiple accounts for example, sincerely the probability of that amounting to exercise in futility is very high.  The hunters syndrome as you have named it do not applies to all hunters.

[cytpoway121]

While addressing your OP, i want you to take notice.
Bounty hunting is a very funny task. It is a task where lowly rated hex gave hunters good $ for little task done, and it is also a task where after several Hardwork, postponement, DigitalBits is yet to pay.

Bounty hunting is not a syndrome, people do it leisurely to make more money.

Interesting part is that, a project can give you 1000$, while 100 projects can barelt give you 500$. If you want case study, consider Harmony and Tokoin Bounty rewards from last year, both bounties are a case study for highly rewarding single Bounty

[dothebeats]

Blame the projects for putting in little effort to their coin/whatever and just pay pennies to those 'bounty hunters' to fix their shit for them.

I have nothing against bounty hunters. There is money to be made in that field. What I don't really like are scam projects with half-finished proposal offering it to the public and just expect bounty hunters to complete them, all the while paying for mere pennies. That is where the problem for bounty hunters come in. With these easy-going projects requiring minimal effort/qualifications to enter the campaign, many will take advantage of the offer and the real problem while the devs or project managers are sitting pretty waiting their shit to be done while paying less. While this creates a market for the bounty hunters to make money, this also creates an avenue and the line of thinking for lazy devs to create a coin/whatever and spend little to no effort in them. Why would they even care of going all out in a project if there's a multitude of bounty hunters out there, right?

[noorman0]

Sometimes the project team is inconsistent with their statement by delaying several times, adding new requirements and reducing the allocation of bounty payments. Whereas the allocation of prizes to hunters and the distribution schedule is a consideration of the team and they should have estimated whether the amount will affect the price later.

The thing that people rarely think about is that the team allocates a bigger rewards than the sales allocation, or the team offers sales with a large bonus so that basically the team itself has made their tokens/coins worthless from the start.

The worst thing is when you have to follow their telegram everyday to be updated to fulfill all requirements for receiving the tokens. This could be very annoying when you participate in more campaigns. 

[bittick]

In additional if the distribution process was using the different method when some campaigns have already decided to distribute the reward gradually and that was not affecting the price of coin in the market.

The worst thing is when you have to follow their telegram everyday to be updated to fulfill all requirements for receiving the tokens. This could be very annoying when you participate in more campaigns. 

It's your responsibility to participate in the campaign, if you were feeling that is so complicated and why you are still doing it?

[Coyster]

All that a HUNTER want is to make his or her lifetime MONEY from a single project through any fair and foul means.

What foul means do hunters use to get a "lifetime money", is it enrolling a lot of accounts in one signature bounty; that's against the forums signature campaign rules and if it's discovered, the whole farm of accounts will get tagged. I don't expect you to encourage people to make money through foul means, AFAIK, it's now the projects playing foul play, they do not pay bounty hunters and they steal investors money.

I know a time will come we will have to follow up in person's to company's office  for our reward to curb this behavior.

You'll likely never meet any fellow bounty hunter in person, and if you do, just know that 95% of those projects pose with a fake team, so you'll be either walking into a wrong office, or no office at all.

[adzino]

I don't know but you sound really mad because of those KYC verification most of the projects now have and made it mandatory for those joining bounty hunting programs. I know its not safe to give away your identity to someone random on the internet, especially when most of the projects tend to be a scam or dies. You never know what they will be doing with all your Data (though if the verification process is handled by some well know third party site, then you can be sure that your data is being handled carefully. but if its the project who collects your data and they are the one verifying, high chance they may abuse your ID later on).
But then again, legit project are doing this so that multi/alt accounts don't ruin their project.

[travwill]

To eradicate this syndrome, you must completely remove the possibility of earning in the bounty.
In this case, all the people who are here solely for the sake of earning will stop spending their time on the bounty of the company.
They will find other methods of earning outside this environment. Or it is better to identify those who abuse and break the rules.

I have to say you are totally wrong, not everyone want to earn money through dubious way but i guess you just tell the whole community what we've been all these while. Well, it's little of my worries as the project teams and BM have that to worry about but i must also tell you that making such a huge amount as you fantasize will be very difficult this 2020 because we are about to finish the first quarter and not even a single sign of the market having any momentum soon. And finally about how teams can solve the syndrome, with the expertise you shown in the write-up about how you've been getting away with your cheatings even with kyc, i guess the teams just have to overlook the whole thing as you are smarther than the system

Definitely, there's no bounty programs out there that will give you the money for your lifetime. Bounty hunters should know that earning from these programs will not secure your income by any means. And if you are joining those token paying campaigns, you have to be prepared not to receive anything at all because only few of them will hit in the market and be valuable and follow what is the set price for their token. Also, remember that the team has the privilege to change the rules anytime, so if you can't comply with their rules in the middle of the campaign that's your wasted effort over there.

[Jating]

Why not stop bounty hunting them if you are not comfortable of sending your KYC or instead of cheating them and submitting false personal data. I think the problem is that there are many bounty cheaters around this community that this so called 'hunter's syndrome' just really thrive in this community. And then they bitch around when ICO projects turns out to be a scam themselves, how ironic. But I guess there will be no stopping this syndrome though, one way is to get ride of bounties itself, but I don't think that Theymos will do that because of the traffic it brings in this forum.
