Bounty- Waste of resources?

[chmod755]

Not like that the bounties s a way to do marketing without spending so much most of the times because you will have thousands of people spreading the word about a project or something which is really better than traditional marketing like only one website.

big or small the gift of social media is certainly very influential because they target new investors to invest in their projects, we never know the results they get from the gift of social media because we don't have data on their transactions,
and for coins to be distributed it is only the initial benchmark before launching coins in the crypto market.

These days, most of the projects don't get successful fund raising campaign. I have no data about bounty though, but it seems almost all the bounties are just waste of resources. Social media bounty brings no benefit to the project in my opinion, while signature campaign do a little. What do you think? Projects spending tokens/coins on bounty are just waste of their resources?

Saying social media bounty brings no benefits is not true, do you know how many people that got into a project through Twitter and Facebook? I'm telling you now that social media campaigns works better than even signature campaign in terms of building awareness for a project

And nowadays bounty hunters are very satisfied with whatever they are making from bounties, it seems they've finally get over the huge decrease in bounty rewards compare to 2017, since few bounties are still paying people are ready to still give a chance

Not quite. Bounty campaigns are a cheap way to generate awareness for any project if managed properly.
Factors that can affect if it is worth it to run a bounty campaign or not are the type of manager for the bounty campaign, who's in the bounty campaign, and the project itself.

If the project has no other means to market their project but only through bounty campaigns, then, by all means, it's not a waste of resources. After all, most bounty campaign nowadays has a reward pool consists of their own native tokens that basically has no value at the early stages of the project.
Having the slightest means of generating more awareness would be beneficial for those types of projects.

It also depends on who manages the campaign and who's in it (the type of bounty hunters).
If it is managed by a lazy bum who doesn't care about the project or the outcome of the bounty campaign; that right there is a lost cause.
You can't expect anything good coming out of that especially when the type of bounty hunters that are in that campaign are just fake accounts/bots/farmers/cheaters. Those types of bounty hunters coupled with a lazy manager will surely result in wasted time, effort, and resources to project owners and everyone else involved in that bounty campaign.

In my view, all bounties are not useless but most of them are worth it. Just when we concern with any project which is new in the market then we should research on it before join. In this way we can easy save our time as well as our energy.

In all kind of bounties they give us some social media task and those are easy to do and with this action everyone have chance to earn some tokens/coins which can be give us some handsome money.

It's good for newbies or who want to earn free tokens/coins in their wallet to promoting bounty projects.

Bounty campaign is not a waste of resources,ICO wouldn't waste there coins if there would no benefit on it, social media campaign is one of best marketing strategy. Being followed and like by thousand of people would improved the perspective of investor about the project.

I accept the fact that many bounty projects are just waste of time, what makes it more complicated is the team, we can never understand what plan they actually have for a particular project, but really some bounty project came out and do something interesting, proving many wrong, this is why I don't underestimate any new project

what makes it more complicated is the team, we can never understand what plan they actually have for a particular project,

Team has to develop the project and bring it out to be used. Of course these projects have failed successively because never had any proper project to go after in the first place. But people did not understand that. More so the developers of the teams have often been forced to work, not sure if they have revolted any time too but I have seen many projects fire their devs and hire new devs.

but really some bounty project came out and do something interesting, proving many wrong, this is why I don't underestimate any new project

That hope you have is going to be bad. If you want to make profit from this market you have to be emotionless. You have to stop investing in shitcoin projects because they are not legal securities and focus on bitcoin only. Bounties are a way of taking part in the project but 100% of them are failures so whats the point on waiting on it that one fine day you will find a huge value bounty?

[Mondinic]

maybe not everything you say is true because as far as I know most projects need to innovate in how to attract good followers and also be able to support a project, but for ourselves we must be more thorough first to support a project will a project that it is supported that there is reciprocity for oneself or other followers of that before participating in the project, it is good to first find out information about it.

It looks like so many people just try to blame the hunters based on the bad projects that have already gone but they never try to count how many successful projects that have already become a very big community.

Most investors who entered this sector did not even know that there were something called bounty hunters and people who took part in them got rewarded by the project owners for their efforts in promoting the project. You dont see it much for an IPO do you? Now the thing is that there is a difference between an equitysale and a tokensale. The latter is not recognized to be a legal security so the hunters are at risk of wasting their time for a shitcoin.

But not only the hunters are to blame, they are like a byproduct of the shitshow that these projects have done to the name of bitcoin.

It all depends on the bounty you are doing, it's not a must to participate in every bounty that has been posted in the forum, not all bounties are worth doing, do a thorough research on the type of bounty you want to and you will realize that it ain't waste of resources

Investors arent really aware that these marketers do exist yet their primary target or motive is to make money or profit but come to think that
a project wont really succeed if these people doesnt exist nor help out to give exposure on such sale or project itself.Its on different sector
but they are part of of it.

The thing here is that most projects now turns out to be garbage on where these marketers doesnt even get on what they have worked for.
Its total a waste of resources and your time.

This shitshow will surely continue as long these projects do keep on popping out.
