BOUNTY AND UNFAIR TREATMENT OF HUNTERS

[kingzpro]

It is of no doubt that many investors detest bounty hunters as they usually attribute the fault of price fall and dump to them, instead of blaming the project teams that do not put things in place to make their projects stand out.
Today, the team equally treat the hunters wickedly as if they're beggars after the hunters have completed the tasks assigned to them.

I recently witnessed a bounty pool of $15,000 with a participants of around 2,000. The bounty bounty was first scheduled for 4 weeks and later extended to 20 without a dime added to the pool.

The hunters endure the hash condition to complete the project and the hunters' were still delayed for several months after the bounty ended. When the started to pay, just 20% was released extending the rest of the payment to over 9 months.

Despite all these, the token price is still not attractive. Are all these hash treatments meted on hunters worth it!

Hunters should create respect for themselves by taking prompt actions like leaving the campaign if the team announces extension.
If the reward is small try to avoid such campaign.
Projects that solely depend on soft cap should also be avoided because they will most probably end up not raising enough funds due to slow ico market. The hunters should also raise voice for their rights and reward at all project pages and channels and also post about bad behavior of project team or bounty manager at forums.

Without a dime added to the pool? Damn! man, that's hilarious. I mean, that's one of the worst burglaries I've ever heard. +20 weeks? no matter how legit was the project that's no justice man. They should not made any bounty from the start and those bounty managers really need to excrow the rewards if not, there will be a lot of cases like this to happen in the future. Not just you OP, I witnessed such kind of scenario when I was doing bounties 2 years ago and until now I cannot forget the name of the bounty and the manager who promotes it.

This is the Bounty I'm talking about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5061455.0

That was two years ago the bounty manager do not deserve to manage the campaign if he cannot give bounty hunters a fair treatment, I also have a share of bad bounty campaign some of them have bad reports and I support those reports and I guess if you are active in bounty campaign you will have a share of bad bounty campaigns, there are so many bad and scam bounty campaigns.

scammers keep abreast of trends that occur in the market. therefore there will always be a project scam that will trap bounty hunters and investors. they are looking for gaps in what the market is interested in. as now we better be careful with projects on behalf of Defi. You can see that today, after becoming popular there are many new Defi projects seen.

when a project fails and is not paid for, the bounty hunters can only tacitly accept the fact that the bounty hunters' hard work doesn't get rewarded, this is really unfair, when the price drops on the market by the bounty hunters they blame, I assume It is natural for bounty hunters to want to get rewarded by doing the dumper because they want to get rewarded for their work immediately. But this is a risk for bounty hunters and must be accepted, because there are no laws to protect bounty hunters if they don't get anything.

Welcome to the Altcoin Bounty world here in crypto in which the Most scam and BS place you can find.Sad to heart about your experience but since you are only registered last May in which i believe you are a newbie,now better understand that you are lucky still receiving payments from the team even it is 20% because many of them are not paying,running after the ICO and care nothing but their bagged investments.

Base on experience, yes, that is true.
Some of us are still lucky to get paid in an environment in which most of the team behind the project could just get away with it and no one will sue them.

That's the problem with bounties. It's more like a freebie from the owner's perspective.
To us, it is more like a job already.
Take the risk, swallow the truth that sometimes they don't pay.
I just don't really like the blame game that investors are using to pin the dump with bounty hunters.

20 percent release now and the rest of payment over 9 months didn't mention before bounty started. Actually, bounty managers don't create these problems. I joined an "injective protocol" campaign where they didn't keep their promises. The same situation was created by the most popular projects DIA, payment was delayed for 2 weeks. I know, these projects changed the rules before distribution to rejected bounty hunters.

doing bounties is a job and if a real job has a law about illegal recruiters or employers that arent paying , why not put the same law on here ? bounty hunters are not payed imediately after doing the work but they some of them sell imediately after recieving the reward  .

they sell because they are excited to taste thier hardwork and value could already be dumping  . they dont care and still sell at loss but in the end they are still being blamed for the dump of the price .

[lixer]

I believe hunters have every right ot do whatever they want when they get the token, I mean this is their own money from that point on forward so that means if they want to sell it right away and dump the price they have that right. If you are so worried about paying people your token and then people dumping it, why not trust your own token and pay with USDT, that way creators will have more token and if their token worths more that means they will be richer as well.

But they don't, why? Because they do not believe on their own token, which is why people actually do not give usdt or btc, they give their worthless token because they created it and it didn't cost them a single cent to create it, so they lost nothing. Which means even if hunters dump, the creators are richer.

to be honest there are no guarantees in the bounty project, this work cannot be used as your main income. as we all know that this is all free and we also do this job at no cost. So whatever happens, we must always be ready to face the risk of not getting paid or losing time due to a scamed project.

Personally I detest bounty activities because of the usual unfair treatment of hunters, projects and investors are quick to blame the hunters for the fall of price while the fault is usually from the project owners. I stopped bounty since last year because same reasons you gave here. And I don't think I'll ever get involved anytime.

[ameliana]

yes, bounty hunters are always associated with it. whereas if you can realize that bounty hunters only get the rest. if it should be at fault maybe the early investors, because the initial investors were the first to buy the coins during the pre-sale of tokens. they get tokens earlier in comparison with bounty hunters.

Obviously in this case the very logical thing to blame is the initial investors who buy tokens at a cheap price and with a lot of bonuses, so they own tokens faster and have the opportunity to get a lot of profit even though they sell below the standard price, and who getting the rest of course is often too late like the hunters and some are not even paid at all, so the person who blames the hunters for the price reduction, then it is a fool and does not know the actual project flow.

This is why we should only join the campaign which have clear rules on the beginning.
We should proceeding with caution if they announced they have right to change the rules of the campaign.
This is the most unfavorable for bounty hunters, as the rules can be changed anytime.

now it seems that bounty hunters are only being used for various ways, finding followers on telegram / social media is huge, but the benefits are only for them. the behavior created can always end up cornering and not being able to do anything. because they have arranged well what will be questioned later with the system they made like that.

indeed, they have to go back to the beginning of the bounty which all transactions are applied in the forum only and not leaving the forum will make them maybe more careful and there will be no new account to become BM.

Once, I was really disappointed, when everyone bounty, that I have participated, refuses to distribute. But now I taught myself not to expect much from bounty. Like it was mentioned many times before - "bounty is like a lottery". When you buy a ticket, you dont expect that you will be the one that gets a jackpot. Consider participating in bounty as being a part of a project and you might have an opportunity to test it (if you get tokens or coins).

If the project or bounty manager treats you unfairly, make the same to them. If bounty manager is lazy to fill the spreadsheet, correct it or help you with bounty - skip this campaign. If he treats you like this now, when distribution comes, his attitude will be even worse.

If a project treats hunters like crap. Spread the word about it. I'm sure you will find a lot of support from fellow hunters and this story might have similar impact as United Express Flight 3411 incident (in short, due to this incident, the company lost millions of US dollars).

Your attitude is truly extraordinary, and I really appreciate the policy that you took, because I also often see on several topics that people often blame bounty hunters when the price of tokens falls in the market, while bounty participants are the last to get payment from the project (if any), but they also still act stupid to blame the bounty participants for this, even though the bounty participants do not control the market nor do they control the project token.

At this point I can't take those messages seriously - there is so much information about any crypto project that it will take like 5 minutes to understand system behind any IEO/ICO and to see that BH are just "distributors" of coins, not regulators

We need to be smart when choosing projects to join bounty programs. If the project is longer than 20 weeks, I will quit it immediately. The effort needs to be put in the right place.
There are hundreds of petty bonuses out there and we need to revisit the project before we get started.

True, a review before joining a project is clearly needed by every bounty participant, because adjustments between the duration of time and the allocations given for the bounty campaign must also be seen, not because chasing a reward in a bounty but it can harm time indirectly.

[articlecity]

If any team or bounty manager behaves unfairly to the bounty hunters then the hunter community should totally boycott them. We know that most of the projects these days have 99% bounty hunters in their telegram and other social media channels which represent the community of a project so it can really hurt them and teach them a lesson.

[husencoe]

for now the payments we get from the results of following the bounty project are completely inappropriate, and the results obtained from bounty participants do not have a major impact on reducing the price of a coin, because the allocation given to bounty participants is only around 2 -5 of the total coin supply

Sometimes it's much lower than that, there are some developers that they think bounty hunters are not going to choose what projects they are going to work even if it is paying pennies, bounty hunters should unite to not work on these kind of projects if you accept these kinds of rewards you will soon received pennies for 3 to 5 months of worth and they will even laugh at you, we are not beggars here.

That's the problem with bounty hunters, we don't choose, instead we allow developers to take advantage of us and that makes us looks very low in front of those developers and project teams, that's why they change rules as they like when bounty is finally over, only very few team takes bounty hunters very serious and pay them as promised
