Is it just me or there are others who have same thoughts?

Maybe you got into some scam project that already planing and using bounty hutter like that. They are the worst and you should know better when to join in scam bounty because you're helping them trick other people too.

True, this should be anticipated to promote the project scam, after the release in the market dump ensued and then left by the owner. Choose a bounty that has the potential to succeed.

LOL, as a bounty hunter, I found this is ridiculous. Yes, we all want to join potential projects that has the ability to be succeed. Yes, we all want to use our work to promote for quality projects that can bring profits to us and others. However, how can we avoid getting trapped by scammers? Of course, we'll do our best to choose a bounty campaign to join. Though, when we join a scam one, we're the one who also be scammed, how can you say that "bounty hunters joined scam projects are helping them trick others"? That's just unfair lol!

Is it just me or others think same way? I mean are listed bounties intentionally using bounty campaigns to create hype and before the bounty is over they dump part the tokens making it lose value and make bounty hunters share what's left??? I'm kinda confused with bounty projects that are trading

No your not alone but it will be observed only on low quality projects that has been swarming the bounty section. To avoid such project like that, learn to do a good review and research. If you do this, then youll avoid those not worthy project for promotions. Ive been a bounty participants for long time and I already sense if the project is just a hype one or a shitcoin. You can spot them head on as you can see their concept and even social interaction with the community.

That's true! It's hard to explain for new bounty hunters, but the more campaigns you join and the longer you stay in the field, the more experience and sense that you can "vibe" the project. You can feel something in the project whether it's legit or scam. The only sure thing you can do is to do careful research about those project you're about to join. By doing that, you'll avoid those trash and unworthy projects!

I noticed that too.  When a company starts, the price is one.  As a result, when the company ends, the price is significantly lower.  Hunters can only wait or sell at a lower price.  I think this was done on purpose, and it makes sense to wait, if the project turns out to be useful, then in the future you can make a good profit.

At times I think this is done intentionally as owner takes away the profits of his coins and left it to get it dump because quite possible that they do not have interion for this coin as in the long term. Just come here for a short-term profit. This may just work once but later people will never invest in such person’s project and in long term will have no value for any such future projects.

If this is what's been happening to you in bounties presently then you choose the wrong projects, I promoted oikos bounty project months ago and it was trading on exchange before bounty ends, I was able to sell at 3x the ICO price, im sure you choose bad projects with bad use case

In the first place, dumping its price in the market was very inevitable and unpredictable. That's why they called volatile, where the price could get up or down at anytime depending on the buyers or sellers. Especially, if the demand is getting higher rapidly while the supply is limited the price has a chance to increase for sure but if the supply are too high while the demand is too low, it means the price will go dump for sure.

Price dumping is no longer new, is something we all can't control and talking about bounty, projects doing bounty are doing it mainly to create more awareness about their project throughout the world with the hope of gaining more support of all cryptocurrency enthusiasts, so I don't think bounty has anything to do with price dumping.

[imstillthebest]

listed bounties or the bounties that we see on this forum ? or you mean bounties that have a listed coins ? a bounty is a way to create awareness but they wont know if they can get a hype or not  . depends also on the promoters and shillers if they are promoting the project in a convincing way well it does create a hype  . they have the ability to dump or pump the token because they own most of it  but serious bounties dont do that  . theyl only leave that to the hunters or to the investors  .

Maybe you make this thread based on your experience but not all bounty hunter experience the same thing, I see many of them successfully taking profits from a project that they promoted, for ex : Gold Token, Oikos, Leduna protocol and many more, so the answers not from bounty project, but from you, who choose the wrong project. Next time choose the good one, maybe this thread will help you https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232710.0

Those who have a lot of tokens (one of them bounty hunters) have little effect on dump prices when they sell all tokens. But the most influential are investors with large financial capital.

It is very difficult to find such good projects at the moment, and as far as I remember OKS is not listed in exchanges when they do bounty. So you cannot compare like that, I saw many campaigns like Ezy, Blockburn ... the price dropped many times when the bounty ended and it made the budget go down a lot.

The dump before the bounty distribution usually because the trader wants to catch the coin in much lower price hence they selling their bag, making the dump. This is why I advise bounty hutters to restrain from selling right away after the bounty distribution and wait till it over for better profit from your bounty work.

This is a risky proposition as bounty hunters have no way to know if the dump is caused by traders manipulating the price to their advantage or it is because there is something wrong with the coin and everyone is selling to recover some of their capital, as things stand now and with the huge number of scams in the market bounty hunters will be making a mistake if they employed the strategy that you mention but it seems there is no risk as most bounty hunters are not listening anyway and are selling their coins as soon as possible.

[Galley]

If you believe in a project in which you participated, having previously studied it well and assessed the prospects for its development, then you will never succumb to the general hype, and you will not sell your coins at any price. The skill of thoughtful waiting will not fail.

[lousie9]

not just you, I think all forum users here might have the same thought about gift bounties or dump tokens before the project is complete. in fact, most new projects do this and after the project is finished the prize hunters only get tokens that are not valuable. and this is a form of ICO project scenario that might have been previously designed by the project developer itself.

This is indeed a great topic to behold. I hope to see a better day on the streets of bounty hunters and other projects that tend to work together to achieve publicity. But if the above stated remains the case behind project team and their attitude towards hunters then it is indeed a pity.

Yes your observation is correct as i have seen many projects that dump very very badly even before bounty reward tokens are distributed and i have always silently suspected team too but as i have no evidence so kept silent but it surely is a mal-practice either from the whole project or some team members who want to take advantage of the situation. Personally such projects do not do well because when the teams intentions are bad from the start what would you expect from such greedy people?

[Chukwunonso]

One of the criteria that attracts me to a bounty campaign is if the tokens are already listed and have a good value. I have this belief that if I participate in listed bounties, I can always wait for the value to increase, if bounty hunters impact caused the value to drop. It may take a few weeks or days, but the value would certainly find its way up, especially if the project is a good one.

This mean that you are worse at choosing projects that have good potential, utility and use case is very important when choosing a bounty project to promote, I choose OIKOS DeFi project because it's DeFi and presently DeFi is trending big and also the first bounty was successful and all participants got their tokens, OIKOS price is still very good on Exchanges

Yes and when it happened at the same time after bounty or airdrop was over, some bounty hunters take it as an intentional attack like OP. We need to understand the market, especially for a new coin after bounty or airdrop phrase is very vulnerable to dump. Cause it still young and lacks investors to drive up the price.

If the token is available for public trading then the payment for bounty rewards should be issued weekly or monthly because that is how a legit bounty campaigns for this kind of promotion works and most of the time tokens already listed on exchanges won't take such risks since it could ruin their reputation in bitcointalk.
