It seems like it's the end for bounties

[Zeke_23]

Expect many disappointments from bounties, sorry to say it's how bounty hunting space works since 2018, to make good profits from bounties do not rely on anyone that youve promoted successful, keep finding quality projects and keep promoting while you can, for every disappointments is a blessing, yes, it's real

Even if you don't rely on anyone, finding quality projects looks like impossible nowadays. There's a lot of good to be true projects, they will show good progress of the project and they will do anything to look like a legit project but when the time that they got the money they collected into their hands, the project will disappear.

Only a handful of bounty programs are actually paying good now that are above ICO/IEO price and decent buy/sell trading volume. Just like you guys, I almost gave up hope in airdrops and bounty programs. The glory days of 2017 are not going to repeat, even when Bitcoin halving or altcoin season comes.

There are many reasons of failed ICOs/IEOs due to no more funds, shady tactics, zero to very less trading volume, trading below ICO/IEO price, extending of bounty programs and delaying of receiving rewards.

There’s one bounty program that I joined which they say that the distribution of rewards is 6 months after IEO. Now they have 2 months left of keeping that promise. However, before that happen, I doubt they would slowly gonna turn into exit scam because of outdated website and social media channels. Trading volumes in the exchanges they’ve listed suddenly dropped from zero to a few hundred dollars of volume. To me, I don’t expect them to keep their promise.

However, days ago, there’s a bounty program which I did compesated fair and square. Despite that they distributed in January, the price wasn’t right yet until days ago, the price doubled and the trading volume was decent. I sold my tokens and put the sell order. I waited for a few days until my order was filled.

To me, bounty programs are not yet over. We just have to do our homework first by looking at their roadmap, past and present accomplishments, team activities, transparency reports, etc.

It seems that some scam projects manages to get on exchanges and pretend like everything is normal, they have good aim of exiting scam by introducing bounty campaign that will take weeks and along the way while bounty hunters are promoting the projects some investors attention will be caught, after bounty is about to end the coin or token value will now dumped, by the team

This is common already for most of the new projects.
This is the sequence or the cycle.
-A new project is born and will be advertised here.
-They will launch a bounty campaign where bounty hunters will be paid as they advertise the project thru different ways.
-After the campaign, there are some options that most of the teams are doing. They will distribute the tokens but will be locked until such time it is tradable already. They will make some spoils and will distribute the rewards of the bounty hunters after some months. This is the worst scenario. Some of the projects don't want to pay the bounty hunters until they list it on an exchange and then after that they will dump it.

As a bounty Hunter, we create awareness for them to attract investors and they will dump on us leaving bounty hunters with nothing, it seem this is the new trick now, Spyce and Blockburn and IMO did this, no more volume, there was dumps and bounty hunters received nothing

If you are saying that this is a new trick then definitely you are new to the world of bounty hunting.

This kind of "trick" you are saying is already here for a long time. Many projects in the past are doing this kind of thing. Listing the token into an exchange were the developers and the investors will dump the coin and will be a dead coin after few weeks.

This is the reason why I stopped bounty hunting already. Most of the rewards that I get either doesn't have a price (not listed on an exchange) or it is listed on an exchange but your trade will not be liquidated because there aren't have volume in it so it is still useless.

You can say anything bad about the bounty. Still, I object if you say it is the final sign of the bounty, don't force yourself to follow the low potential bounties and then you are disappointed because they avoid what you expect, it's better to join 1 honest campaign than 10 scammer campaign.

[iconoclast]

If ICO's are no longer paying find something else to promote. ICO's promised a whole new way raise money for projects but they had a fatal flaw. They placed large sums of money in the hands of people who could choose to spend it prudently developing their project or just they could just blow it, or even worse just run away with all cash. The whole point of crypto was to take decisions about how your money is treated away from the hands of other people and placing your trust in code.

It looks like he has a very bad experience with his last campaign. he was blaming bounty without known about the fact that happened with the bounties. In the bounty campaign has a lot of scam bounties but at the same time when we can do a proper research and we can find a lot of legit campaigns too.

It's really sad.For every hunter. I think for the success of a project.Many work harder.Any good project has a small payment for the Hunters.I don't think they should be fooled.

Bounty hunters must be careful when making choices to participate in a bounty, now there are so many bounty scams in circulation, and unfortunately we cannot be certain that the bounty is a scam or real. Now it's very difficult to find a good bounty like in 2017. But rest assured, among the many bounty scams there must be diamonds stored.

Quit complaining about bounties, if you are willing to give up just do it, saying it's the end won't change anything, those who are really fed up have left this forum already, two friends who introduced me to this forum have left too, if the time comes I might end up leaving too but now is not the time

[JHORN]

I'm still new on here but I figured out that bounty managers are very important if you really want to get paid after the end of a bounty campaign, if bounty ends for others because many projects are scams what about newbie like myself? I don't tend to give up

As far as I know, bounty managers will only do their job, whereas when many scam bounty campaigns are not the fault of the bounty managers, it is purely the fault of the project developers who do not carry out the mandate and certainly it will only make the project worse. and made many participants disappointed.

If the good bounty returns like 2017, then I believe your friend will come back. And many others will return to this market. And I agree with you not to complain about bounty, as long as we try and work hard, I believe we still find good projects.

Once upon a time... I was also a bounty hunter. So I can understand the sentiment. But at the same time, you can't escape from the responsibility. After so many campaigns in which the bounty hunters went unpaid, I would have expected them to be more careful with the ones in which they are participating. But even now, I find a lot of the bounty hunters registering for bounties which have very exploitative terms.

Bounties will never end as long as there is bounty hunters. There are people who are willing to share you on their facebook group, their twitter, retweet you, like your tweet, put it on their instagram, talk about you here, have your signature here, post photos for you and do all kinds of stuff for meezly 5 bucks, all because that 5 bucks is given with that new project so it could be 5 cents in a year or 5 grand, they don't know so neither do you nor the project owner, so those bounty hunters take a risk with the project.

As long as that type of approach of "maybe one day it will worth all of this" continues, and people do not focus on what they are getting at that moment, we are going to just keep seeing more and more bounties pop up everywhere.

Yes, now there are many new bounty with very exploitative terms. They require bounty hunters to work a lot, but offer a very low budget. Truly unworthy of the job the bounty hunter did

Maximum team don't care the bounty hunters payment after the long work end of the hunters. When the bounty is about to end or end, then they pretend to give payment like payment will be given in 12 installment like Tokoin, 100% to complete with in June 2022 like Okschain and few projects become unseen after bounty end.

I feel the same way. however, for projects in the same class as SPYCE or Blockburn, it is proven that not all projects that already have a good market. however, choosing carefully is very much emphasized to avoid things like this. however, I still feel that the two projects are pretty good, it's just that the system they created can make them lose trust in their supporters.

This is not new and these new coins are just a few of them, in the past they have done that also, projects only distributed coins after the team dumped their shares before distributing and developers leaving the project, bounty hunting are now in a sorry state, there are good projects coming along but they have a hard time of getting a lot of promoters because of distrust.

[Yamifoud]

Should we ever think that 2017 will happen again? When ICO projects and bounty hunters gain a lot of money? It was just a dream at all because to tell everyone, there is no coming back...either we like it or not the market will soon change and that is what we feel today.
But even we saw a lot of scam projects, ICO/IEO failures but I wasn't thinking we put this thing to an end. Not for sure, unless we can never find good things around in crypto. If we are giving care to our community, we can eliminate this scam projects and put it ends, not the market itself.

[slashz9]

not only will the end be more difficult to choose, I see people who post on the bounty thread are still many, so this indicates that the bounty is still running but it will be difficult to find who will pay you.
Some projects do promotions when they have listed on this market as a guarantee that they will pay the hunter.
