Safe to join campaign does not mean rewarding campaign

[hushpupppy]

This year, in abid to join the best bounties around to flex the time; several peeps have highlighted numerous bounty programs and tagged them safe due to the team reputation, the projects product output, and because it is listed on a reputable.

It has given different results, with Hex price skyrocketing, while burn and spyce struggles; And the safe sheng also removed kyc as requirements.
I urge every hunter, to realize that while selecting safe bounties to join; also join because you will get profits from trading your rewards.

Do your researches, evaluate your chances of earning well; before joining.

Good, I think I will be very careful from now on when choosing bounties, HEX bounty was over and they paid hunters, some make over 150$ and those who still have their tokens now have over 300$ because HEX skyrocketed

The most trusted bounties that looks legit like blockburn and spyce that are already trading turned useless now, listed bounties are more dangerous nowadays

At this point in time I think it's better not to depend on bounties that are trading, if the project is not a popular one it's dangerous to promote them, Cartesi was never listed until bounty is over and the team chooses binance, let's choose bounties wisely and don't fall for useless projects just because they are listed e.g AZBI

Most of the bounties are worthless these now, the probability of making something reasonable from bounty campaign is close to zero now. Taking part in bounty campaigns now are more like gambling. Everyone trying their luck on as much as possible campaign they cab take part.

Even if a bounty is listed and trading some will say you should check if there is enough volume, well this is not always the case, sometimes before bounty duration runs out the volume will be gone already, SPYCE bounty has good volume from the start and now it's not available anymore, the coin is not listed on Probit exchange anymore

BitConnect was a very popular project (although not ICO if I remember correctly) and look at the damage they've done. Popular =/= legitimacy. There are lots of factors to take into consideration if you want to decide whether a project is worth the investment or not - popularity may be one of them, but shouldn't be the decisive one.

Yes very true, just because a project looks safe to join doesn't guarantee payment or good rewards, there are many lessons still Available in every corner of crypto world, scammers are now using new tricks to fool bounty hunters, most times we end up promoting their scam projects for them and still they won't pay, it's definitely more like a gambling den now

Probit has cancelled to launch spycee due to the special reason. I would say that sometime the bounty that doesn't look promising will perform even better than the promising one like cartesi caused by it has applied the payment into the some batches.

Research as much as you can before joining because it is the participants responsibility to maintain himself the position that he wants upon joining. If he feels that it's a good bounty yet he never did his part, it's his problem as he joined. But, if you have done your part and you are aware of the potential and the possibility that it can turn the other way, then you must be aware of it and accepted the risk that it has.

Entering a bounty campaign is like gambling you don't know if you will earn or not especially if the project is not listed or trading yet. All we can do is minimized those risk by selecing good with potential. We need to review each project carefully. But sometimes good projects with decent team also fails, we really don't know it is like a bet. Unless a campaign is already trading you can estimate what reward you are able to earn.

Agree, because now it is very difficult to get a bounty campaign that is truly legit and hopes that if the sales are successful the team of the project will not run away bringing investor money or not paying the participants. Maybe campaigns like social media or blogs can join many campaigns but if only join signatures I feel sad because they have tried to make quality posts and try to promote their projects in this forum.

Just like participating in an ICO you are at the mercy of the person running the project, if they are honest you can do ok, if they are not you will end up wasting your time and money. I prefer to put my trust in code and not in people that may decide they would rather keep everything for themselves rather than keep their promises.

I see this as a perfect illustration of what bounty hunters face, we are always at the mercy of the project or bm
Its either bounty rules change at the end, or rewards slashed, or refusal to pay bounty hunters and fulfill their promises.

But how do you trust in code? is it a special reaction or something ?

Of course, research is very important before joining a bounty. but for now almost all bounties are still in a "pending" state in the distribution and listing process, so I ask all of you to stay calm and be patient through this situation. because the market is trying to recover and is added to the existence of a pandemic.

Even well-known platforms make bounties and do not pay.  Last year, I made a bounty exchange OOOBTC.  Now I can’t even visit their site.  And this is just one example.

I do hope that you know that HEX is a ponzi scheme right? So I don't think that it is a good example to call it a good project to join or invest.

Of course hunters don't trade usually, they can want to get their rewards and move on the next project to project. And even if you hold the tokens you are rewarded for, chances are the price are going to be dump. And that's why bounty hunters have the habit of dumping their token once they received it regardless if the project has the potential to have a good price in the future.

[Script3d]

Indeed.
Some people tend to focus too much in scams and legitimate bounties, but they seem to forget the profitability of the bounty itself.
This is crucial especially to those who are sort of " full-time" in bounties, but I don't really recommend they stay full time on that and try freelancing instead of that.

With so much scam out there i don't think profitability is a problem, hunters just wants to get paid, doesn't matter the amount as long as they are paid, its always better than nothing. I do agree people shouldn't do bounty full time because there's a high chance they wouldn't get paid, i think they are aware of that.

It is a scam project, so surely you will never get money from them. I have also seen this bounty in 2019 and have quickly missed it, currently we have a lot of good campaigns for us to participate. Take advantage of current time to make money

Same with you guys, all of us are fully aware that most of the bounties project today is worthless and sometimes you can't even earn a single penny from it. That's true choosing bounty project is like more gambling but sometimes, even if you are lucky enough to join in the decent projects still there are instances that it ends up on being sh*t project. The sad reality is there are more scam/failed projects that the decent one and it's totally sad that you see some bounty participants who create quality topics and posts that earning nothings and they just wasting their time on doing the tasks.

So far, I don't give any time on participating bounty projects and I currently focus on the projects that pay me on bitcoin which is more guaranteed that I can make income from doing the posting. Plus, what you said OP, we should totally do research before we participate in the projects because it is more likely to help us to avoid the failed/scam projects. Doing research is the best thing to do if you really intend to earn good profit from bounties.

That fault is on bounty manager, it's true that many don't get paid but most times it's better to join campaigns from serious respected bounty managers, it's also time to think twice before promoting popular bounty projects, they do fail alot nowadays
