Now Bounty Program totally worth less !! 90% Bounties are scam

[Neolan]

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard. Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.
Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.          

Many Bounty Groups they arrange bounties blindly without verify team and Project . They only using bitcointalk for income. They not understand our efforts , hard working.

When ClipX Bounty program start They not Required any KYC after Bounty program end they said we have to passed KYC for claiming the Rewards many people did but
They not given any amount for this.

That's a very usual thing to bounties these days. You are right with that projection as most of them are likely to be a scam and it's no longer that worth it of your time to be with those.
There are still remaining few that are legit but they're hard to be seen and if they do, they have a very limited budget because they are legit  and will actually show you how much the fund is.

[Tytanowy Janusz]

Its like that since 2018. It's good that you have mentiond KYC case. Sometimes I think that stealing KYC data is the only purpose of majority of bounties now. You know that you can earn from Bounty without even running ICO? 50$ - that's how much full KYC data is worth on darkent. If you will collect 1000 IDs from bounty hunters (blackmailing them with the lack of payment for the work already done) you just profit 50 000$.

The only bounties that I would take part in are weekly paid with coin already listed on exchange.

[crwth]

I have a question for Bounty Hunters.

If the reward of the bounty is their tokens, isn't it considered a payment to your hard work?

I know that some bounties and projects are a scam, but it's the bounty hunters' fault for participating in the project in the first place. For their liquidity is to be determined upon acceptance of the token of the exchange, then it will have value. There are still tokens, but most of the time, it's just worth zero.

Personal information is more important than giving your documents in exchange for a small reward.

Thanks mate for this information !! Can You tell me about Bitcointalk posting (like images , bold , links add ) information

[culuuton]

I think 90% is still humble, in my opinion more than 95% of campaigns are scam or not valuable. Bounty hunters can participate but should not put too much hope into it until they receive payment from it. From 2018 until now, there have been countless scam campaigns.

[Genemind]

I haven't joined any altcoin bounties since the ICO hype died last 2017. Most projects turned out to be a scam, most weren't able to gather funds to even start the project or pay their bounty program.

During the ICO hype bounties past for almost only 4 months and most projects are successful whatever project it is. The projects were generous giving out rewards. There might be some hidden ems out there but it's risky to invest and waste your time promoting scam projects since only a few make it.

agree on this one, it is probably around 95% at the moment, and this percentage is going up
there is no new ideas, and it seems that even if you good idea and look to find a community to support it, bounty on bitcointalk is not the best place, since there is so much scams, that serious investors would skip this site when looking for a real gem
but, this is nothing unusual, new times bring new opportunities, so people have to look what can bring earning now, and leave bounties to the past, when it was possible to get some money on it, in 2017 for example, examples from 2018-2020 when someone earned well from bounties are so scarce, or even unique

[weborsha]

I think that there are lots of scam bounties and it is always sad not to be paid for your work, but still, there are good programs that can help people make some extra money every month)

Yes there are fake and scam project in bounty campaign, that is why we have to do our own personal research to know if the project is real or not. Many people that fall victim are new users who are just joining bounty campaign to make cool money. I think it is good for them to ask question before joining bounty campaign.
Some old user who are still falling victim in the hands of scammer and fake project is because they lack personal research in  bounty campaign.

[Harriti]

When we get into downtrend, that's when there are the most scam and failed projects, so this job is never stable. we need to get a more stable job and when uptrend returns, we can still continue working in bitcointalk forums.
That's how I stay alive and not overly complaining about the crypto market out there. this is the truth and we need to understand it and find a better path for us, the crypto market is inherently arid.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Clipx was a scam bounty. You will never get anything from there as it's clearly stated that the developer will not continue the project.

In another case there are so many legit bounties outta here. I have also participated in the bounty that called ARCS and I got my payment from there.
The first bounty that being managed by the bounty detective called hex has already paid the participants too. That's about how good the bounty that has already managed and this depends on the team.

What you need to do to deeply doing research about any bounties. It should be around 92% of total bounties were scam

You say it like they are something special and a guarantee of success. Yes, they have campaigns that distributed rewards, but the amount of ended campaigns that are still pending to distribute or turned to be scam is almost identical. I would say 50/50. Same as lottery, you either win or lose.

How do you calculated "90% are scam" ? Why not 99% or 89.41%? You would better write "most of the bounties are scam". But this is not new. Same was in previous years. Hunters must not blindly join every campaign and shout that every campaign is scam now, but must dig in, research and choose wise.

[tvplus006]

Some old user who are still falling victim in the hands of scammer and fake project is because they lack personal research in  bounty campaign.

In most cases, bounty hunters do not conduct research on the project they have decided to participate in. This is due to the lack of knowledge of how to do it and the fact that it takes a lot of time. Therefore, bounty hunters choose as many bounties as possible to participate in in the hope that some of them will become profitable and cover their expenses.

[masterrex]

I think the ninety percent estimate is quite low, It's better to make it 99.8 percent because I believe only the 0.2 percent of all the Bounty campaigns have a potential otherwise the rest of all bounty campaigns are just wasted. I agree with you mate, Bounty Detective has some lapses regarding the bounties that they managed, But we can't do anything about it, because in the first place Bounty Detective Team doesn't force us to join any bounties that they were promoting, thats why next time you better check the project first before you join and promote it.

[ololajulo]

why do people participate in such scam intentionally. Have decided to leave my profile plain without campaign, if I dont trust the projects. I feel those scam cant raise fund because of the general market condition, when FOMO rises any project, scam or not will benefit from it and what will matter is running as early before the burst. Be that as it may I dont want to support any scam hence forth and will do all my research even if the reward is peanut.

[Akiko]

Yes there are, the problem about bounty hunters are they also looking for huge rewards in the end they need to join possible scam project that promise a big rewards and complain after they don't recieve the payment from that campaign.

I see some project that paid in weekly basis with  tokens listed in exchange its more secure to join that kind of bounties compare to those project that only promising huge rewards.

[mbilalabid]

Nows a days 95% bounty scam like clipx big time waste bounty I am bounty hunter how to find real bounty It is not easy to make money in bounty hunter 2020 many scam bounty run away need to be careful to join a bounties. be carefully on invest bounty only free money collect domt try invest

[Furious 7]

Bounty Detective is now launching a lot of bounties but they don't do any deeper research because that's all they can afford and the end of the trickery of the project.

But I am not surprising that the money bounties managed by detectives are successful and have been distributed, meaning they are doing their best.

Not all 90% bounties, we have to choose not to be greedy, see the bounty runs first, then how will the development react if it is blind then it will be our own fault.

[Cornia]

From the begining, 90% bounty projects are scam. I think all bounty hunters know this. Even then they participate in bounty projects.  Most bounty has a rule that the team and the manager can change any rule if they want. The bounty hunters accept it and participate in the bounty. If someone doesn't like this rule, he doesn't need to participate in that bounty.No one will force him.

[rodskee]

Then why instead of seeking answers here Find a real Job Make a Living outside of this forum because No one forces you to be a bounty Hunter.
And don't Point out the Managerial team because even how hard they look at the project to be legit But scammers are Good at it,and they can Hide their true intention until it happens,they can even pretend to be a good team but in the end scam is what you get.
Remember that payments here in forum is just an incentives unless you are a Skillful Person that offers your service as a Job and not by social media or forum posting and specially not an airdrop thing.

[traderethereum]

That is why before you joined in one campaign, you need to check everything. You don't need to join in the campaign require to provide KYC because that will be too risky if the team runs away with your documents.
The team can easily change their rules, especially if they said that all participants require to send KYC to claim the rewards at the end of the campaign.
But I am sure that some projects will not scam the participants and leave them like that because they concern the participants, and they don't want to disappoint the participants.
We always need to be careful and always search for more info.

[totoy4741]

Even the one of biggest Bounty Manager will not be able to detect if the project is going to be a scam because scammers will do everything to cover up their malicious activities in order to attract and drag some big crypto influencers in the market today.

[soenan]

It is true, indeed lately many new projects have appeared worthless, there should be parties or agencies that can filter and act decisively so that fake projects do not appear so freely on the bitcointalk forum so that neither investors nor bounty hunters will suffer losses.

I didn't join in King casino and Clipx looks suspicious to me too when I saw they are only accepting passport for KYC. Terracredit is already listed on some exchange so I do not think there is anything to worry about that project. I agree with your opinion about bounties these days. Most of the scam and now project owner like to manage their bounty by themselves instead of hiring a manager.

[Kupid002]

The only persons that can help for now if you found scam bounty campaign is DT members they can tag the account of the users who make that bounty but I dont think it's a big deal for them mostly If they are only using newly created account.
Many members is also helping to find many fraud ICO and defi but thats not enough to stop them for creating sc bounties.

[coin-investor]

90% is correct and it could be higher I am into signature campaign for the whole year, but out of all the campaign I've joined I only made profit on one campaign which is Oikos all the other are useless or ends up like a shitcoins, I'm still lucky that I have one some of my friends are not lucky as none of the bounties that they've participated yield them any profit.

[Galley]

Most bounty companies are scams to one degree or another. Everyone knows this, and it doesn't stop anyone. Everyone hopes to catch their luck in the face of a successful company, which is very doubtful. But these are the conditions of the game.

[Reid]

It's normal. Now.
Changed a lot in the past 2-3 years.
They just make more projects without the capability to see it until the end of the roadmap.

I have seen that KingCasino before and I think someone also posted about it being fishy here in the altcoin section.
Creating another bounty project while the other one was still running.
I want to support bounties in gaming and casino but you really need to be careful what to choose.

[Rafiqul]

As a Bounty Hunter, I have also noticed that most projects are now worthless and scandalous. I was even more surprised that groups like Bounty Detective also run scandalous projects. No profit can be expected from this scandalous or worthless project.

[pungopete468]

Only few bounties are worth joining for, it's not from before usually before the bounties are really profitable but now most of the projects are not usually scam some of them just discontinued the project, some are not really good project and some are just up for investor's money. If you are going to rely on bounties I think it's not worth your time.

[jrrsparkles]

Only just now you realized that? we can increase that percentage to 99% because its are to see the projects paying rewards to their hunters based on number of projects getting launched.So don't waste your time and its time to give up on bounties.

[Becky666]

I think 90% is still humble, in my opinion more than 95% of campaigns are scam or not valuable. Bounty hunters can participate but should not put too much hope into it until they receive payment from it. From 2018 until now, there have been countless scam campaigns.

You're right mate; because there have been series of threads concerning this issue of not getting the needed profits from work done in this regard. 96% of the Bounties these days are just scam projects which hunters  choose to  promote undermining their sincerity and credibility. How can the bounty rules get started without an inclusion of the KYC and then after the end while await payment then came another rules for KYC.

I would suggest to all the bounty hunters that, there is no meaningful impact from projects to hunters, if such is what's happening then, hunters should quit bounty promotion, or in another, they should embark on peaceful protest against be paid in dead tokens from through campaign managers. Hunters should demand for their rights and will be given.

[sayulita]

There are some bounties that are all right. You need to do your own research and only go for the ones that you know are solid. If you dont understand the project or it seems to good to be true, then it probably is, and you should go for something a bit more down to earth.

But most of the times when we go for the projects that are down to earth then in most of the cases those projects fail to get much attention by the public and tend to not collect the desired amount of money, whereas the projects that seem too much unrealistic are the ones that give good returns over investment, investment being either the time that the bounty participants spent in promoting the project or it can either be the money that the person invested in the project.

Believe me i thought bounty market was improving because of expected bull run that was hyped for a long time but seems like market has not improved but even the good bounty management groups, like you named bounty detective have also failed to come up with quality projects and most of their projects in last few months were below par which they ignored out of greed and just cared about their own income and not for the community. This definitely needs to stop, if they cannot come up quality projects with decent rewards for community, they should not come up with low quality projects that either scam kr pay pennies for months of work.

Well there are some good campaigns also available with good budget, big team and quality platforms.
You should have avoided chasing campaigns from one bounty manager only. If one or two campaigns did well that does not mean all campaigns by a specific manager will be good. So always analyse each project closely and promote only the best ones.

There a couple of threads in this section where they post about top quality campaigns to join and to just give all of you a glimpse i will post about 3 recommended projects and their bounty campaigns.
Geomadao - it was highly recommended project to promote although they have paid the reward tokens but the project and their token has no value and the project team has no clue about it and no development or significant update has been posted by the team in a year or so which makes it to dead project list.
Koinpro - it was a good looking project with working exchange so it was recommeded campaign they had strict rules through the months long bounty campaign, they have final spreadsheets and tokens earned ready for months now but their token called KOI still does not exist and they do not have answers when it will be live and when it will be distributed.
Sheng - it was another recommend project to promote, they ran the campaign nicely and distributed the reward tokens too but the price on exchanges is 10x below ico price which makes the reward very little for the majority of the bounty hunters.
These are the results of top recommended campaigns, from this you can easily imagine the state of the rest of the bounty market.

[pixie85]

Most of them are scams because they saw they can scam people and get away with it. If you could steal from others without anuy consequences you'd probably start doing it because it's free easy money.

Bounty hunters don't care if the project is real or don't bother to check if there's escrowed payment waiting for them. They just care about the numbers on paper and false promises. That's why they'lll keep getting scammed.

[Renampun]

...

@OP, I am suspicious of you, why do you only take the example of the project handled by Bounty Detective...
at this time we will not know which project will pay because most bounty managers only serve as a manager in the forum and are not part of the team. so that you are not disappointed with projects that appeared you should not participate in bounty projects.

[reza7777]

If 90% of the bounty is a scam then we must also increase our research on the project before joining so that at the end of the campaign we are not disappointed and we must really choose a real bounty campaign that pays participants

[Valzador]

I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard.

A bounty campaign is an easy job. You don't need to work hard. You just need to make quality posts that can be useful to others. It's that simple.

Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.

Don't be a loser, look for 10% of projects that don't scam, don't give up, and don't complain. If you take the time to read and analyze a project, you won't be fooled, but unfortunately, you don't do either of those things.

Yes. Most of the bounty campaigns nowadays fall into scam but this has been happening since 2018 so i guess many of us are already used to this. But if you keep on making DYOR before participating a bounty campaign, you can still avoid being scammed too. Just never give up easily on bounty campaigns because i believe there are still legit campaigns out there, we just have to be patient and focus on analyzing the project.

Even if the 4 bounty campaign from 10 is not a scam, I consider this a success. After 2017, many scam ICOs created out of thin air have opened the high-paying bounty campaigns which disappeared slowly within time. Checking each project consumes time and energy but it will worth receiving a bounty reward after all the drama in the best case. I remember the bounty campaigns by Sylon who was the famous manager in forum's bounty section. After Esmerald campaign, he disappeared and after he leaves the forum, almost bounty campaigns started to die slowly.

I was surprised when I saw that "Terracredit" increased bounty allocation 3 times but still bounty rewards are a few USD. Even legit projects are doing different ways like changing rules several times like "injective protocol". "Injective protocol" one of the scamming projects. Injective protocol changes rules 4 times, to minimize the bounty rewards.

That's the reality, they only think of themselves,

They still continue to arrange bounty programs just to make money. They don't verify the team and the project as long as they get their money even if the project turns out to be a scam project. The only affected here are the investors and the bounty hunters.

[coincapbd]

It is true that after suffering so much, when you do not get the result, you will feel much worse like everyone else. Currently, the most talked about project in the market is Bounty's project. People are joining these Bunty projects with a lot of interest. But sadly, no one has been able to earn a good amount of money from here till now. In this way, there will be no project called Bounty Project in the coming days, then people will not be interested in it. So you need to think a lot and join Bounty's project.

[manfredmann]

Yes, but you can chose from those projects being promoted for you to get the best project that you think will going to pay.

In my opinion it is better to join a project that is being manage by high rank users. other than that checking the team and their experience might do better as well. But you know that it could be deceiving for all paper works could not really be validated. It is very difficult to judge based on the papers. The team really be the key depending on their initiative and efforts to promote the project.

All your mention is bounty detective campaign and I will never join any more because almost his campaign is bullshit and not have value anymore, I am waiting with ezystay campaign where distribution more longer where campaign ended more than two month but distribution will going on at the end of october, for clipx campaign is bad recommendation because we have submit KYC but clipx coin is bad value and not worth with our KYC.

It shows you have a lot to learn about new projects, I remember every one of these projects and when I came across them I ignore because they aren't up to my standard, not good enough to me, they are money grabbing projects, kingcasino was even bursted on this forum before the bounty campaign ends but many hunters aren't aware because they are on this forum for bounties only

[Francis Freeman]

I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard.

A bounty campaign is an easy job. You don't need to work hard. You just need to make quality posts that can be useful to others. It's that simple.

Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.

Don't be a loser, look for 10% of projects that don't scam, don't give up, and don't complain. If you take the time to read and analyze a project, you won't be fooled, but unfortunately, you don't do either of those things.

Even if the 4 bounty campaign from 10 is not a scam, I consider this a success. After 2017, many scam ICOs created out of thin air have opened the high-paying bounty campaigns which disappeared slowly within time. Checking each project consumes time and energy but it will worth receiving a bounty reward after all the drama in the best case.

Absolutely . We need to spend some time to identify which bounty are good by looking at the project and the team members.  I stay away from bounties which promise to pay million of dollars for us.

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard. Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.
Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.          

Many Bounty Groups they arrange bounties blindly without verify team and Project . They only using bitcointalk for income. They not understand our efforts , hard working.

Event Bounty Detective Group one of the biggest Bounty Group they also Provide fakes Project Like
1- Kingcasino
2- ClipX
3- Terracredit ( looking me suspicious)

ClipX Collect Our KYC and Then They leave from all social media Platforms. They also delete their Website.

When ClipX Bounty program start They not Required any KYC after Bounty program end they said we have to passed KYC for claiming the Rewards many people did but
They not given any amount for this.

On clipx they cheated via KYC to their participants and investors to submit their documents even it is not in the requirements when they are starting then all of a sudden they've required it and announced that they won't give the rewards, that's totally deceiving. However in Terracredit when it is not yet swap the price was in between 0.005$ to 0.006$ each token then they've announced also once it has been swap the price will become 1$ each token, but look at the price now at the moment it was in between 0.004$ to 0.005$ each token on which means they are obviously a liar and certified scammer as well because it didn't reach at least 0.1$ each credit token.

[CryptoYar]

Some projects are started with this intention so that the data of the people can be collected. You (people) should know that KYC data is also sold. And this is the kind of data from which scammers can make a huge amount of money, Generally, it is difficult to get KYC data, but they get it through the bounty campaigns.

If you want to avoid this, then pay attention to these things;

• Before joining any bounty, check on the thread whether they are asking for KYC.
• Never blindly trust the bounty manager, especially in the altcoin section
• Never look at the reward pool, rather see the project team is real or fake.
  
• Never join a new bounty manager's bounty, as he may also be a partner of the scammers.
  

Remember, if you keep giving your secret information to everyone like this, then one day you may face a big problem. Therefore, you should keep your secret information safe.

What about bounty campaigns that doesn't announce that there's a KYC process until when the bounty ends or towards distribution? I've seen a couple of bounties that went this way and it wasn't funny. No way to also verify if the project is going to succeed. Participating in bounty programs are risks we all sign up to take. Some are rewarding. Others aren't.

[rz20]

Whenever I take part in any crypto project's campaign, I always assume that they will be turn out to be fake even if I have thoroughly researched the project. That way I don't get much mad when they turn out to be fake lol. But please avoid giving them KYC data they could sell your important data without your consent.

[xOdiumNostrumx]

I am pretty sure that it was similar in 2016/2017, in the golden age of bounty hunting. Most of those projects are long gone, but the market back then was so irrational that even scams and shitty projects listed on exchanges at multiple x-es, so this created an illusion of "better times". But then again, it is probably true that less blatant scams existed back then and folks actually tried to accomplish something with their projects, now they just pull the rug without even trying.

[soenan]

It is true, indeed lately many new projects have appeared worthless, there should be parties or agencies that can filter and act decisively so that fake projects do not appear so freely on the bitcointalk forum so that neither investors nor bounty hunters will suffer losses.

The only persons that can help for now if you found scam bounty campaign is DT members they can tag the account of the users who make that bounty but I dont think it's a big deal for them mostly If they are only using newly created account.
Many members is also helping to find many fraud ICO and defi but thats not enough to stop them for creating sc bounties.

If only relying on bounty hunters to help find fake projects is not enough, because not all bounty hunters can analyze if the project is a fraud or not, let alone many projects that started well but only found out to be fake after the end of the campaign period and that is very detrimental to investors and bounty hunters.

[bastian466]

Then hunters work only to help trap investors into the project and lose their money and the hunters get nothing from their hard work, it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake projects

[TastyChillySauce00]

That's true and a lot of awareness threads have already made by a lot of people to make those blindly hunters at least try to do deep research before they wanna try to promote anything.

The problem is those hunters didn't even try to take a look at it or spend a very short time to do any research. This is really homework for the hunters and bounty participants.
It looks like this will become a very hard task to make them all realize it.

[Bajank]

The current bounty reward program is not like before now, there are many projects that do not pay or scam projects, now many people are moving looking for free coin airdrops or bitcoin trading

You have told the truth buddy. Most of the bounty programmes are fake nowadays. I have joined many of them but honestly I receive nothing at all. So I am confused whether I should join on bounty program or not. Some popular bounty hunters and airdrop promoter also promote fake bounty. This is embarrassing.

[BlackFor3st]

We should accept that this is the reality in crypto world therefore we need to be wise if we really want to earn a money in bounty hunting as most of the
bounty managers will do their work especially if they are being paid a good amount of money then they forget to check the background of the project.

As a bounty hunter, it is our duty to check the project that we like to support or follow so we can assure that our hard work will be paid. Even if we can say that
there is only 10% genuine bounty campaigns then it is our task to find those campaigns if we like to earn some money.

[cute nmp]

Most of the bounties projects nowadays are scam projects.I did so many bounties recently in which many of them turn out to be scams and mostly it is only towards the end that one knows that.Most atimes the problem is from the bounty managers that don't make any investigation before deciding to promote a project and on the other hands the bounty hunters that rush to promote any kind of project without any research.

[sulendra12]

Before joining any bounty, check on the thread whether they are asking for KYC

They can say they don't need KYC at that moment, but they will eventually ask you to send KYC after the bounty ends. We have seen lots of these type of scheme this year and OP have already said one of the 1000 examples you can find out there. It's not an objective way to look at it.

Never blindly trust the bounty manager, especially in the altcoin section

But, it could increase the trustworthiness though, I'm pretty sure some of the members here care with the altcoins they are managed to make the best results possible. I have seen a guy with lot of positive trusts and they did make it great results and can bring the rewards to the community, I totally respect that.

Never join a new bounty manager's bounty, as he may also be a partner of the scammers.

It's true, but contradicts with your point before. So whatever

[Sirait]

for me, The best years for the bounty program were 2017 and 2018 after that almost all of them were scam projects, and that hasn't changed until now so it is better if you are more careful when you want to join a campaign.

The current bounty reward program is not like before now, there are many projects that do not pay or scam projects, now many people are moving looking for free coin airdrops or bitcoin trading

I see if you manage to get a lot of referrals then the Airdrop is very profitable. and trading will still profitable if you have good skills.

[kawetsriyanto]

We were already aware of this issue since 2018. If you have joined bounties before 2017, then you must know the big differences. A big bounty group like Bounty Detective, cannot guarantee every bounty they have. They just provide bounties and never state that all of them are worthed to do. It is your job, to analyze which one is the best and worthed to join. Regarding KYC procedure, just avoid it if you think the project isn't trusted enough. Or better to avoid KYC at all, if you care about your data security.

2017 was the golden year for both crypto markets and bounty campaigns, the profitability rate of bounty campaigns is under the question now. Many new members has taken the advantage of popular bounty campaigns but the situation has changed a lot currently. I don't agree about the airdrops part of your opinion, it doesn't make sense of joining the airdrop campaign if the final reward is less than $1. I have read many complaints by new users who got scammed by teams but the first problem is to ignore the golden rules such as DYOR and checking the team. Checking each rule before joining the bounty can increase the potential of getting rewards in time and the delays rarely will occur during the bounty distribution phase.

[chikator]

It is sad that its true. A lot of honest and hardworking people are being sucked in these scams and those that profit are these terrible, lying pricks. The amount of work in bounty all uncredited is sad.

[affandi]

This has been happening for a long time and is hard for bounty hunters (myself included) to avoid. even though we have searched various information on the project we are campaigning for, it cannot guarantee that the project is not a "scam". maybe this is already a risk for bounty hunters. and not just bounty hunters, an investor is also in bigger trouble for losing money due to a scam project.

[Gotumoot]

Bounties has been that way for a long time now they are worth less than they were back in 2017 where almost all of the bounty have price even if it was lower than their ICO price.
Nowadays bounty rewards are so small that they wouldn't even reach halfway of their ICO price or the worst would be they wouldn't be listed.
I grew tired of this that is why I decided to quit bounties or join only the project that I believe have a chance on growing.

[Salauddin1994]

It's really bad news that most of the bounties are being scammed now this process has been going on for a long time bounty campaigns look great at first but then they lock the thread and don't reward anyone tokens are not listed. These are usually their misconceptions so the bounty projects are getting worse day by day and the demand is declining.

[luckyflop]

You should have a look at bounty manager, Usually, they do research before accept bounty managing of a bounty because if it turns to a scam it could cause them negative trusts, Also always check their website of the bounty that you are intending to join that and see their Git hub page, Usually, they don't have a new Git hub accounts if they are real and their codes have been edited multiple times!

[michellee]

It is sad that its true. A lot of honest and hardworking people are being sucked in these scams and those that profit are these terrible, lying pricks. The amount of work in bounty all uncredited is sad.

That is what happened in the crypto, and I am sure that also happens in real life. The scamming will always be everywhere, but we can prevent that thing by researching more info about the project, so we can select which project can benefit us in the future. We need to be careful if we want to invest in the new project, and we should not use a large amount of money if we don't have many valid data about the project. That is one tip to prevent scammers, but I believe that there are more tips to avoid them.

[Yey09]

Bounty is dead after all this ICO hype become outdated. Its better to find other job to do in 2020

[Kong Hey Pakboy]

Bounty is dead after all this ICO hype become outdated. Its better to find other job to do in 2020

Indeed. Since increased numbers of scam ICO projects and bounty campaigns, there are only a few existing, legitimate bounty campaigns. However, they still ended up unsuccessful because they didn't reach the soft and hard cap. So it's really better if bounty hunters would look for other ways for them to earn cryptocurrencies without investing any money.

[Swopon]

Sounds harsh to hear but its true that most of the ICO's are scan nowadays. In 2017, I got many successful projects and maximum projects got successful and got enough fundraising amount by investors which are almost absent these days. Lastly, fake people are everywhere, we should pick the true one.

[yurez]

Bounty is dead after all this ICO hype become outdated. Its better to find other job to do in 2020

I agree the bounty died, now many companies began to enter the crypto market without a bounty campaign.  The number of bounty hunters has decreased as much.

[LogitechMouse]

Quite unusual that you are a bounty hunter but you are a newbie with only 6 posts. Probably you are using another account in joining in bounty campaigns.
Anyway to answer your question, it has been that way since 2018. I also joined bounty campaigns too and most of the ones that I joined didn't paid me although I'm lucky that there are some who paid me and I got exchanged it into Bitcoins so it is a 100% profit for me.

Either way, giving your personal information to the strangers are somewhat below the belt already for the devs and the team. Unfortunately, there are some people who still want to share their information to them for the sake of a few bucks. Can't blame them though and I thought that the Bounty campaigns are dead already. I think they are getting revived by these DeFi projects .

The number of bounty hunters has decreased by that much, it seems that no one is interested anymore in bounties, especially those who have experienced fraud.
and I totally agree if the bounty is said to be dead, because I have also experienced bounty fraud.

[The cure]

Sometimes it is very difficult to determine if the project is legit or a scam, you will only know this if the project is over and suddenly they will just disappear in a snap. There are still sensible projects but usually if it does pay, the value is very small. So we must find a reliable source of income and don't just rely in bounty reward.

[pixie85]

Bounty is dead after all this ICO hype become outdated. Its better to find other job to do in 2020

It's been like that for years, literally and you can't blame only dev teams or bounty managers. They saw an opportunity to make more money by changing the rules during or at the end of a campaign and despite protests still were getting new people in their next campaigns because there's just so many thirsty hunters out there. You can keep scamming and they'll still keep comming.

The only way you can change it is to be more selective and never join suspicious campaigns or those run by compromised teams.

[sana54210]

Bounty hunters have to get together themselves, unfortunately there are tons of people who are willing to work for few bucks per hour of their work, I understand that work is cheap in many nations which is why there are tons of people who are willing to work for few bucks per hour as long as they can work hard, if you give someone 20 bucks per day they could be willing to work just because they live in a poor nation.

However reality is that if you do not get together you are never going to get that money neither, you are going to be abused and abused and abused. How could you act together? Create this beautiful bounty group that works very well to promote any project, and if they are really good that means projects will have to sought after that group and will pay beforehand to an escrow.

[gaston castano]

That's why you are better off joining multiple projects, because social media campaigns can join more than 1 type of project, in contrast to signatures which can only join 1 project.
I'm also sure the people who do the bounty already know about this and it's no stranger to promoting a project and not getting paid at all.

[bastian466]

It looks like this will become a very hard task to make them all realize it.

It feels very far away for hunters to research the projects they are promoting, moreover, their social media hunters only focus on work because they are greedy for many projects to be completed.  Most of which saw them working on more than five social media projects

[Ezravdb]

There are several categories that make you fall into the pit of scam projects.  You do not choose the Bounty project correctly because in the history of projects managed by Bounty Detevtive, many of them end up in a scam because the bounty detevtive team does not select before accepting the project they want to manage.  In the future, you can be careful in choosing Bounty projects so that time is not wasted.

[seleme]

I don't think finding a new bounty campaign will solve the mentioned problems, the problems will be there until the bull market. Standard bounty scams are rare nowadays because bounty hunters are not as uneducated bounty hunters during the last years, scam bounties can't find the participant to continue the promotions here, IMHO.

I am not familiar with the mentioned bounty management groups but I know there are really good bounty managers on this forum. If this team has scammed many forum users, opening a scam accusation can solve this case and I doubt the same guys will come back to open another scam bounty campaign. A win-win situation for both forum users and bounty managers.

[Plinteng]

I think you are right that most of the current bounty projects are just nonsense, although maybe it is not completely but 90% of bounty projects are scams. and what caught my eye was that the Hailer didn't care whether the project was real or didn't bother to check if there was a guarantee fund payment waiting for them. They only care about big rewards without researching it first.

[Deeshawn]

The days of good bounties seems gone, seeing a good project to hunt for this days is not easy, scam/fake projects everywhere as most dev only care about their selfish interest and not for hunters promoting them.

[TastyChillySauce00]

The days of good bounties seems gone, seeing a good project to hunt for this days is not easy, scam/fake projects everywhere as most dev only care about their selfish interest and not for hunters promoting them.

It's not so hard but the deep research is totally needed if you were a social media participants and you will able to join in all of the campaigns that ran by various projects with more than 80% chance for those projects to be scam projects. Be smart hunters that always join in the campaign based on the development that has already achieved.
I quite agree if the climate will always getting changed but join in everything must be based in our DYOR.

[Cekerula]

i will say honestly, as you call bounty detective managers also fail to produce quality projects and most of their projects in the last few months are substandard. This definitely needs to stop, if they can't produce quality projects with the respect the community deserves they mustn't produce a deceptively low-quality project that pays a penny for months of work.

[MCobian]

In my opinion, it's not 90% bounty campaign scams, but 99% scams. Because in fact, since 2019 there have been very few bounty
projects that have given decent rewards. In fact, there are many bounty projects that have not paid bounty hunters until now. What
I often experience, the rewards I got from bounty projects have been distributed, but locked on their website until the hard cap is reached.
Even though it is not clear when the hard cap will be achieved, the problem is that the project developer does not inform this in advance.
So many bounty hunters feel fooled because of that.

So many bounty hunters feel fooled because of that.

First of all, the ICO market is not in good shape now. Very few of the projects are able to reach the soft-cap level. For the investors, this is not an issue. Because they get reimbursed of their capital. But the story is different for the bounty hunters. They spent a lot of time and effort in promoting these projects, and if they fail then they go unrewarded. This is why a proposal was made earlier to pay a certain part of the reward in ETH or BTC. But the promoters and campaign managers refused to abide by the proposal.

[ZEIIMAN]

You can be useful to this forum, earning merit you will increase your rank. Then you can participate in bounty companies where payment is made in bitcoins. Hero+ get somewhere 40-55 dollars in BTC, this is a good stable payment. But usually there is a limited number of participants and very quickly recruit participants.

[masulum]

Project selection is what a bounty hunter must pay attention to. Don't just look at who is the manager and how many followers he has on social media. I myself as BM trying to filter the project, this is only a step from me personally to the community. However, that does not mean that my project will be all good and not a scam. The scam is beyond what BM can control. Although I don't expect that to happen. However, what can BM do if the project ends up becoming a scam? Therefore, don't just choose a bounty, try doing your own research before participating in the campaign. Because BM is also a human being who can make the wrong choice of a project.

[barbara44]

There are some bounties that are all right. You need to do your own research and only go for the ones that you know are solid. If you dont understand the project or it seems to good to be true, then it probably is, and you should go for something a bit more down to earth.

But most of the times when we go for the projects that are down to earth then in most of the cases those projects fail to get much attention by the public and tend to not collect the desired amount of money, whereas the projects that seem too much unrealistic are the ones that give good returns over investment, investment being either the time that the bounty participants spent in promoting the project or it can either be the money that the person invested in the project.

Being down to earth does not mean having no hype and no investors. From what I understand by down to earth is that the team is polite when you ask them questions and are realistic about their plans in the future and are not flying high but that does not mean they will not advertise their project or won't hire a marketing team for it. Yes there are projects that run under the radar because the owners are too soft spoken and do not big mouth in public, still they get enough investors as they are ready to answer people.

Most of the bounty programs are now a days waste of time because it is nearly impossible to expect the coin being listed on exchange with a decent price at all. I simply suggest to work for a bounty whose coin you would have bought even if you could afford in the ICO so for those coins you should work and earn some bounty.

Not because they are polite means they are good team and projects because i have been in one with the best team approach i ever met but the end is we are being scammed,though the coins has value yet almost trash.

Because almost everything in the world has already represented by coins so there are no originality and most are copypaste and mostly scams.

[mdzahed134]

Last few months Bounty Detective managed a lot of worthless projects, I participated 2 projects but i didn’t get worthy payment. I think you never get guaranteed project without weekly payment. I would to like to join for some reputed bounty managers projects who's actually researching about every single project to promote before managed.                         

[ijeb]

I recently participated in ClipX bounty program, but I did not notice when they asked for KYC.
These days a lot of scams and people are not even looking for decent rewards, they are searching for any reward just to see if the project is running as promised.

I recently participated in ClipX bounty program, but I did not notice when they asked for KYC.

Well.. this is a very common method employed by the campaign managers to cheat the participants of their rewards. Initially they will not mention about the KYC requirement. Only when the campaign is over, or during the last week they will announce that all the participants need to undergo the KYC process. More than 50% of the participants will refuse and the team will keep that much tokens for themselves.

[lixer]

I am pretty sure that it was similar in 2016/2017, in the golden age of bounty hunting.

But then again, it is probably true that less blatant scams existed back then and folks actually tried to accomplish something with their projects, now they just pull the rug without even trying.

Now I feel the same is happening with DeFi projects because right now they are new in market and there are some really good projects that are coming out and some strong decentralized exchanges like UniSwap but then there are scammers already entering this DeFi market and I have seen some tokens being made and run away already so it feels like what the ICO market was a few years ago is now in the DeFi where some projects are really good but there are scam traps being set too.

I always try and avoid bounty campaigns who are giving away too many tokens in bounty because such tokens will hardly ever make it to the exchange listing and if even they do somehow then the will struggle to maintain price because there will large number of dumps happening as soon as it gets listed and bounty people are so insecure they will never hold coins for long.

[cute nmp]

Totally agreed with you that most of the bounties nowadays are scams it is only a few of these projects that are Genuine.The major problem is that most of the legit project pay very little to bounty hunters unlike before that hunters are paid very good amount for their work.The scams project usually promises good amount but never pay at the end so it is very wise for bounty hunters to make research on a project before promoting it.

[kingzpro]

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard. Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.
Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.          

Many Bounty Groups they arrange bounties blindly without verify team and Project . They only using bitcointalk for income. They not understand our efforts , hard working.

ClipX Collect Our KYC and Then They leave from all social media Platforms. They also delete their Website.

When ClipX Bounty program start They not Required any KYC after Bounty program end they said we have to passed KYC for claiming the Rewards many people did but
They not given any amount for this.

Sad to know but unfortunately last 2 to 3 years have been rough for bounty hunters.
Really bad to see that all the campaigns that you have highlighted are from one bounty manager.
I think they definitely need to up their game or else no one will join their new campaigns and they will eventually fail.
Hunters do need to unite and boycott managers whose campaign has not paid hunters after campaign end.

[BayAngelo]

There is a reason for saying that before you join any bounty, you need to do your research. you need to observe properly the project objectives, the social media platform and the team behind the project. this is not New in cryptocurrency. the current situation in bounty is tiring and developers felt that hunters has no desire to hold tokens.

Everyone keeps talking about bounty managers reputation, how about if bounty hunters honor their own reputation too? This will stop many from promoting anyhow projects, correct me if I'm not making any sense, if I was able to detect that king casino, ClipX and terracredit are unreliable then it shows that you aren't doing your assignment correctly, I have better results from bounties this year compare to last year, this isn't luck but experience

[terizla]

I am not a fan of any bounty manager in the bitcointalk forum; But when you handpick 3 bounties from the bounty detective campaigns; and term them failure and fraudulent; i have no choice than to term you as an hypocrite.

Every bounty campaign onn the forum has its risk; and bounty detective deals with it properly by informing every hunters at the start of the bounty if the bounty is escrowed rewards or token with team. In the case of the 3 bounties you stated above; from the start; bounty detective says token is not guaranteed and you are supposed to join bounties at your own discretion.

Also, why did you leave out bounty detective successful campaigns; Ludena? Arcs? IOI-Game? hackenai? etc?

When you make accessments; ensure that you are not bias; always do your own research before joining any bounty campaign.

campaign trends seem different. Currently, there are also many airdrops from the DeFi project that I can see in Telegram groups and channels. but many also look unsure. I'm not really sure the scammer is really missing from the market even though the trend has changed. Until now we still have trouble cleaning up the scammers in the forums to see a really healthy and profitable campaign.

That's a very hard work if you are saying to cleaned up the whole forum against scammers, there are good people who aimed to scam,

it's not easy to catch them up, the only thing for now is to continue doing your research and never to stop working with your knowledge.

It will saves you a lot in terms of become victimized.

Presently bounty detective team have apologized for the failure of these projects on your list and they are ready to compensate bounty hunters by introducing a BNB ( binance ) token bounty campaign, you can join using the link below, you need to hurry though, it's limited

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5281562.0

[TIDOVEE]

I actually don't know what is scammer's joy in seeing people waste their time, energy and money(data) in their deceit? I just don't know. Although I have not known bounty detective as described, I have always know his project to be good, but since I didn't participate in those one's that you mentioned I have very little to say about it, and I hope the participants did what is expected of them accordingly to avoid prejudice.

[piebeyb]

the system must be changed that's the first thing to do at this time, every project should escrow to someone trusted in this forum to hold funds or actually hand over funds to the bounty manager, so that not many projects go out and go to raise the bounty hunter, I'm also not interested in seeing the job of the detective bounty group is sometimes not sure whether the participants there are real bounty hunters or just fake bounty hunters, but I don't care about that, the important thing to learn is that bounty managers should make a selection of the projects they hold and not be lured by the lure of large payments , most of the projects coming were poor people and had no funds unlike before in 2016 the rich people were involved in each of these projects

[Fakhrulenclix]

I don't know who you are? But I see you create the account only for blame bounty detective, All bounty that you are mentioned is from bounty detective. I try to be fair here, I see many projects managed by bounty detective successful, not all fail, and now they are launching a new bounty as compensate to participants, it's so professional. I never seen any bounty managers do the same

[southerngentuk]

Bounty Detective received a negative trust for that CLIPX but still going on and publishing new bounties every day and the most recent one is a bounty pool of 5000$ worth of BNB for a month, I think one mistake is forgivable but when it passes than 1 we need to think again to see if they really know what they are doing ?!

[nykka]

I can recommend you social mining platforms, because today bounty hunting is a very difficult way of earning. but such projects as Elrond, Avalanche and others had social mining platforms and there you can earn and the most important point, get your earned coins. Age of bounty is almost over and soon we will see some different way of promoting incentivized campaigns

[arbifahrozy]

Yes its true but there are some bounties that really great. Last time my friend join injective campaign and they got pay by eth & usdt. Maybe we should do mini research for every bounties that we will participate. We cant blame bounty manager everytime.

Regarding BuyAnyLight, I'm very sorry about that, since I'm BM for this project, I feel bad about the team response. I'm still trying to find a solution. Since their representative saying if the project paused till further information. Last time they are trying to sell in Uniswap, but they are canceled it. Maybe you can PM me for more detail. or you can check screenshot message from m younas here

This case make me learn for something, even we are doing research, it will not guarantee it will be working well. BAL is the first project i handled as BM, they are proofing their legitimate company and team. But, in the end token sale never come, they are owe hunters and airdropee. From this case, I wish all BAL bounty participants can learn something too.

maybe here you can learn that following the bounty is not as easy as expected. Are all the bounties you have entered into the abyss of a scam?

I hope you need to learn from every incident, that it turns out that even if you still find a scam, it doesn't mean that your understanding doesn't increase. In fact, in my opinion, when someone fails, success is getting closer.
Don't just follow one or two programs and then conclude you are a scam. it could be that the terms and conditions that you fulfill do not match the criteria of the program organizer.

[cassavachips]

It is true that bounty campaigns are not what they used to be because many people make projects just to get profit and then leave. The bounty manager cannot guarantee that everything they manage is a good project but the bounty manager should first have to escrow to secure the payment funds for the bounty hunter. Even though the project is a scam, if the bounty manager does an escrow, at least the bounty hunter will still get the right to pay as promised.

For the ClipX bounty managed by the Bounty Detective, it is truly a scam and bounty hunters should have realized it because they asked for KYC after the bounty campaign was over and it was done directly by the project team. Meanwhile, the Bounty Detective seems to have tried to defend the bounty hunter but failed. I see Bounty Detective has launched a new bounty with BNB payments to compensate for the community who joined from the beginning and also experienced a scam project like ClipX.

The market conditions for bounty campaigns are not what the hunters deserve or expect but people who are working in this space perhaps have no option or are unemployed so they will keep on working out of hope and positivity. I think campaign managers and project teams should always think about hunters with a soft heart and should pay them their rightful reward and never scam them.

[Anyobsss]

Time has changed and this year was really different in where we can earn 400-1000 USD in a bounty. This is why i've avoided to participate in bounty this year and focus on signature campaigns which pays in BTC.

the bounty manager should first have to escrow to secure the payment funds for the bounty hunter. Even though the project is a scam, if the bounty manager does an escrow, at least the bounty hunter will still get the right to pay as promised.

Even if the bounty manager escrow the tokens, if the project is a scam, the token will still be worthless because it will not even go to any exchange.

Bounty managers should take some experience from bountydetective situation. In my cryptocurrency experience, I have never seen a lot successful from a bounty manager. If bountydetective don't increase the research process to minimize the introduction of new projects, then scam chances will rise more. So many projects mean so many scam chances.

[Spaffin]

Of course, we cannot cover all the Bounty companies that are on bitcointalk for participation, but nevertheless, given the ones where I participated, in reality I can confirm that more than 90% of all Bounty companies this year are scams. I don't know what else to expect from CryptoBet, DogEX, PlipX, which are better to forget about. At the same time, PayAccept took many measures in order not to pay the reward, practically deceived the bounty participants, secretly instructing them to fill out the appropriate form for the elite.

Their campaigns are full of bots, cheaters and other sort of scumbags. These kind of bounty hunters dont care about managers reputation. All they care are easy to perform bounty tasks and a managers with lots of campaigns, who wont spend much time investigating who is who.

[BTCappu]

Well, you may be right about that, but there are still lots of good projects. It’s just that scammers (we all know they are very stupid) keeps on creating lots of their fake projects and once they are burst, they create even more fake project, and this is making it difficult for some people to scroll through these projects to find the good ones, this also can in turn affect the good projects, since they will not be able to get enough funding from investors, because they are not being found, unless their team will be running proper promotion to get the project to the face of people.

[Igor17Krik]

In my opinion, in 2017 there were a huge number of scam ICO projects. A huge amount of coins did not reach their addressees, and those that came to the wallets on the exchange did not come out. As before, and now you need to study the project and, most importantly, its team. Scam from real ICOs can be calculated immediately. No need to chase big money, because then you will get zero!

Some investors only need huge profits, actually those are low amounts of money investors. Big investors are always looking for a safe coin like Bitcoin. Before 2017 bullrun some good projects did great as now. In the next bullrun so many scam projects will take free money opportunity. I think bounty managers shouldn't support so many projects in a short time.

many investors can get a lot of profit because maybe they find a good project without a bounty campaign so that they can get money without having to fear that the price will collapse due to the influence of the bounty campaign participants who sell their assets at low prices so that the price is damaged and finally that is what makes investors disappointed and made the bounty campaign not as much as it used to be.

[sulendra12]

Bounty is dead after all this ICO hype become outdated. Its better to find other job to do in 2020

Bounty is not dead to be honest but it's too hard for you to actually find a good one, maybe you didn't find a good one after ICO becomes obsolete  

There were tons of good stuff in bounty section lately and I bet you just picked it blindly and didn't realize that there are lots of potentials you can get if you just do a research it properly.

[btcdie]

Real projects / projects potentially currently prefer marketing strategies such as promoting to influencers (CryptoDiffer, etc) and of course the project will choose the most impactful strategy. Bounty Campaign, currently I see a lot of fake accounts, bots, spam. of course potential projects do not like to see all this and prefer other marketing strategies. That is why, too many bounty scams and scammers have chosen free promotions on this forum. But there are bounties that pay as long as we are careful before promoting them.

We just need to put in more effort and analysis to actually find a good bounty. A scam bounty can start from a scam project and poor bounty management. That's why choosing a bounty manager who is experienced and responsible, with a good portfolio should really be considered. On the other hand, we also have to check the project, of course, because the bounty manager is also only human.
and the most important thing is, trapped in a scam, unpaid rewards, bad prices, are among the many risks of becoming a bounty hunter. So, be tolerant and do everything with pleasure.

Are you sure it is a scam?

because there are 2 possibilities for a new project.
1. Truly a scam, automatic money investors are taken away.
2. The project failed so that the bounty program and others do not get rewarded.

Try to pay attention to your words, or you will get into big trouble. because the project is mostly filled with experienced and reliable teams. and most of them have legal attorney

[Jendral Istimewa]

Currently, the project is in a sluggish state and most of them are scams/failures. However, until now, many projects have emerged with the Swap project, DeFi.

I hope that with the presence of the DeFi system or technology, the crypto world will be able to creep up again and be able to improve the bounty hunter economy.

There are a few tips from me, if you want to join a project, whether it's an investment or a bounty hunter. I suggest you check the team members, Check whether the team is really real? Is the team really great ?.
You can check this through their social media accounts, such as LinkedIn.
And try to follow all the progress and news of the project all the time.

These few tips can minimize losses and increase trust.

[rat03gopoh]

I don't think the bounty of LQ projects is a scam as long as they're willing to pay their participants in full.

The greedy manager and concern about the potential of the project theirself once listed is the cause of the bounty scam. These two things cause inconsistent rules, burdensome bounty participants and seem to avoid payment.

yes. i also do this trick, but nowadays many team project are good to make a fake project. they make a great profiling in any social media accounts.
That's why so many bounty and investors are scamed. it is difficult to ensure that their profile is original.
since this is a common way to detect fake projects i think they will do their best job starting from here.

the best way in my opinion is to deepen cryptocurrency knowledge, to make fraud awareness more sensitive.

I don't think the reason for the bounty campaign to damage prices and make investors not want to invest in projects that hold bounties, there are also many projects that hold bounties but they are successful and investors make a lot of money too, for example neblio, they make large funds, when making sales, even bounties hunters also get a lot of results,

Bounty campaigns remain the most effective and affordable method to get some exposure for the new projects. The vast majority of the investors will be registered Bitcointalk users, or those who visit here as guest (for getting the latest news). So there is a good chance that bounty signatures may get noticed by at least a few of them. I am not that confident about the other types of bounties, such as social media and content.

[ansarose1]

I have also experienced joining scam bounty campaigns where the project is too good to be true but in the long run it finishes with scam. Couple of years ago, i joined bounties randomly and not taking care about who is managing the bounty, so i end up  not paid in the long run. Now i am picky for choosing bounty campaigns such that the manger should be trusted and has good reputations.

If the bounty hunter is not good at research, then he must learn and become a professional in choosing good bounty after reviewing all its information, or he does not waste his time working here, because the profit here is not related to the number of bounties you have joined, but to the quality of the bounties that you have chosen after research.

[Shasha80]

I totally agree that the current bounty program is a lot of scams, so we have to be careful when choosing a bounty program.
Even some bounty programs only provide very small rewards, therefore do your research properly, before deciding to join
a bounty program. It's not enough to just check the developer teams, but you have to know something else. Such as ANN thread,
website, roadmap and social media. And most importantly, don't expect too much of the rewards you will get from the bounty
program, think of it like joining the lottery. If lucky, the tokens we get from the bounty program can enter popular exchanges and
the price can fly high.

Agreed. On top of that, the type of the bounty campaign is also important. Within the same project, you may be having different types of bounties, such as signature bounty, content bounty, social media bounty and so on. Each one of them have its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, signature bounties can be more demanding, but you will be able to do only one bounty at a time. On the other hand, social media bounty rewards may be low. But it is possible to do 10-12 campaigns simultaneously.

In general, research is definitely the main thing. I feel that it is better to participate in a little bounty campaign. But the results are more certain, compared to participating in every bounty campaign but doing no more research. Then it's like wasting our time.

2. The project failed so that the bounty program and others do not get rewarded.

Try to pay attention to your words, or you will get into big trouble. because the project is mostly filled with experienced and reliable teams. and most of them have legal attorney

The case with kingcasino is not about failed project or not, I'm not sure about others like ClipX but I'm certain about kingcasino, their offers are too good to be real, this was why I walked away and after they exit scam there was some hurtful words from the scammers that says theyve scam investors, not everyone was aware but I was among those who saw it, we need to be careful when looking for new projects to promote, always make sure the team are genuine

[Greatdev]

We all have different levels of hunting for new projects, I think OP is still lacking alot, I hardly promote any bad project this year so far, I've got nothing but good results this year, there are many bad projects to say the truth but you can easily avoid them if you are very familiar with how scam projects operates, I knew kingcasino is a trash when I do my own investigation on the project, CliPX on the other hand failed to earn my trust too, I blame the bounty detective team on these ones

[Greatdev]

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard. Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.
Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.          

Many Bounty Groups they arrange bounties blindly without verify team and Project . They only using bitcointalk for income. They not understand our efforts , hard working.

Event Bounty Detective Group one of the biggest Bounty Group they also Provide fakes Project Like
1- Kingcasino
2- ClipX
3- Terracredit ( looking me suspicious)

ClipX Collect Our KYC and Then They leave from all social media Platforms. They also delete their Website.

When ClipX Bounty program start They not Required any KYC after Bounty program end they said we have to passed KYC for claiming the Rewards many people did but
They not given any amount for this.

Are you sure it is a scam?

Kingcasino team are fake, the pictures they used on website looks like stolen identities and I was right all along, bounty detective team have a lot to learn as a bounty manager, the only thing they get right is escrow but just because a new project accept escrow offer doesn't mean they are genuine, bounty detective should start accepting good projects only

[BTCappu]

Whenever I take part in any crypto project's campaign, I always assume that they will be turn out to be fake even if I have thoroughly researched the project. That way I don't get much mad when they turn out to be fake lol. But please avoid giving them KYC data they could sell your important data without your consent.

That's the right mindset but the wrong approach to be honest with you because while I like the mindset that you will not get upset or mad when the bounty campaign ends up and you know understand that the coin was just another scam project. But actually if that happens you must raise your voice in their groups and try to make sure they do something about their bounty hunters because we bounty workers work very hard and deserve some reward if even the project fails because we did our best.

I like and support your idea about not providing them with the KYC because on top of earning no money with the bounty it would feel so burning to know that they even used your KYC in fake and illegal activities on top of it.

You should be more careful now because most projects are now using DeFi hype for gains, almost all bounties are now DeFi projects, honestly what do you think is happening? 99% will be scam, that's certain so do make sure you create the time to do tough research on any bounty project before you promote.

[azmirihaque]

Yes, many new bounties are worth less but not all. Maximum projects of Bounty Detective are good and get paid. Few projects of bounty detective has become scamming but they have arranged a new bounty campaign for the losers of those scamming projects. This proves that Bounty Detective is still one of  the best bounty arranger. Besides there are many good projects like DIA, OIKOS etc from where bounty hunters have got a good payment.

[jdnthny]

I also participated with this bounty knowing that it is a good project because of its core idea which is about e-learning platform but it turns out to be a fraud and scam project which is also very painful and hurtful for us bounty hunter because they even collected our personal data with the used of national IDs. Now because of this event I will never gonna join a campaign which requires KYC process.

[fammy]

That is why I always tell my friends to do deeper digging and as well as do further researches to the bounty campaign that they will be joining and participating and if the bounty requires KYC as part of their rule tend that is automatically a No-No to me. Always be wiser and be more vigilant in joining bounties to avoid wasting time and efforts.

Many of bounty hunters do not have your luck and you skill in finding the right project, I'm no into bounty hunting anymore but I have seen so many bounty hunters complaining of  getting a lot of bad projects scam projects I agree with OP that there are so many scam projects and it';s hard to find the right project because so many projects looks good if you look at them.

[Jeger.Kiting]

Have you ever thought that the bounty campaign that is currently circulating, always provides a lot of concepts that are not very clear and tend to stall for the distribution of prizes, it is not 100% all projects are Scam, there are also projects that pay bounty hunters But distribute prizes in installments of prizes a few percent, which made many participants disappointed even though the payment was made by the project, when compared to the previous projects it was very different, where all the projects went well and consistently and applied very fair payments, different from currently there are those who pay there are also those who pay only a few percent of the payment that bounty hunters get, this is to the disappointment of many parties, especially bounty hunters.

[Snappycoco]

I believe that Bounty Detective has no connection with what is happening with the project. All he could do is read the whitepaper, check the background of the project team, and assure that the payment will be properly distributed. Meanwhile, even if he/she checked the above precautions and prove their worth, it is still in the teams hand what could possibly happen in the future of their coin.

[VDraci]

Just because a bounty project asked for KYC means a NO NO for you? That's wrong pal, you will lose money for nothing, project like TEmTUm was successful and they introduced KYC, some don't like it but the rewards was worth it, a friend earned over 800$ from the bounty campaign, it's not a big deal to use KYC to claim your reward, if you don't join at all from scratch is better.

I'm here to confuse you that bounties aren't totally worthless, I will like to list few bounties that did bring amazing profits since 2019 till date

1. Alchemy
2. BMY. guide
3. PGpay
4. Cartesi
5. Tachyon protocol
6. Ferrum network
7. Hex
8. Oikos Protocol
9. Dia
10. Temtum

The list goes on and on, I'm sure I missed some but why are these projects successful anyways? Ask yourself this question and maybe spend time to do research or review on these projects I listed and you will see the difference between these and ClipX or Kingcasino and others combined.

[budi691]

Many bounty projects are deceptive so that it reduces the trust of bounty hunters, it is not impossible that the bounty project will disappear from this forum if this continues, due to a lack of interest and trust in fraudulent projects, but I'm sure not all projects are fraudulent,

[TopTort777]

Im not agree if you said that 90% bounties are scam because there is a lot bounties that really good. I think everybody want to participate should do a research by their own. Its really important if you do that i believe you gain profit.

I think OP made a union of scam and crap bounty campaigns and came to number of 90%. I partly agree with him, most of bounties are not scam, but not worth time spending. Some hunters would be happy to earn 5-10$ per campaign for a montly work. But for most of true hunters, that started hunting years ago, this is nothing.

[Rexler]

I agree with you, bounty campaigns nowadays are nothing to write home about, only a few amount of them turned out to be successful and actually paid the bounty hunters,but still its full of scams where and there, I don't know which bounty manager to trust anymore  , even the bounty detectives has failed us, I trusted them back then, but after the clipx campaign I began to have second thoughts about them, I no longer trust them fully,right now i only participate in bounties that are organized by reputable campaign managers.

[trauchot]

Unfortunately, this has always been the case and there is nothing to be done about it, so you by yourself decide which bounty company to participate in and in which not. Previously, there was a huge selection of bounty companies and you could find at least a few bounty companies that will definitely pay out tokens to bounty hunters, but right now, unfortunately, there are very few bounty companies and there are almost no worthy projects.

[Ozero]

In my opinion, there are still much fewer fraudulent ICO projects. However, they were, are and probably will be in the future. No matter how you study a new ICO project, it is definitely impossible to determine whether the project will be fraudulent or not. Therefore, there is hardly a big fault of the detective bounty here. They also try to guarantee the payment of tokens to us, since they are preliminarily transferred to wallets under their control. Also, neither the team nor they abuse KYC, which I especially like. Therefore, I am happy to participate in signature campaigns, where the manager is a bounty detective.

[dhemasm]

There will be always peak on some sector especially crypto, as we know bounty today was different from 2017 because on that year crypto was on hype trend where every people around the world was curious and start investing and this why bounty on that year was good because the project was succesful reach their softcap, After that as we know there are many Fake ICO That harm the community which also affected us the bounty hunter.

2018-2019 was really a bad year for crypto and of course it's also affecting us but this year it seems it was become more good, So far some bounty that i joined was paying me and the project was also successful, Well just do your own research on every project that you want to join and you will be good, Careful and Good luck guys!

[skarais]

I wouldn't say 90% of bounty project are scam, but I do believe 95% of those project are scam. Only 5% of the bounty can be said to still benefit bounty hunter and the rest will be disappointing. There are too many cases in the bounty program that have disappointed bounty hunter, there is no payment, postponed distribution and so on.

I don't think that without escrow there is no guarantee that every bounty hunter will get paid (even if it's not worth it). Not many manager can do this and only those who care about bounty hunter do. The unlimited number of participant allows fraudster to take advantage to promote project around forum and social media platform. Without proper analysis, investor and bounty hunter will fall victim to it. Hopefully you don't join the bounty without analysis because it can end in disappointment and loss.

[kaneki007]

Many of bounty hunters do not have your luck and you skill in finding the right project, I'm no into bounty hunting anymore but I have seen so many bounty hunters complaining of  getting a lot of bad projects scam projects I agree with OP that there are so many scam projects and it';s hard to find the right project because so many projects looks good if you look at them.

Maybe there are many participants who want to join because of the large bounty pool that some of them don't do research beforehand. This is natural in my opinion because nowadays it is increasingly difficult to find a bounty that really pays, and it is more difficult to do KYC. Sometimes payers are also delayed for several reasons.

[bobyhodob]

but right now, unfortunately, there are very few bounty companies and there are almost no worthy projects.

There were not so many worthy projects before as you think. Just projects that entered the market during the ICO boom made a profit. Bounty hunters sold coins and forgot about the project. If you now review all the projects in which I participated, starting in 2017, you can collect a good cemetery of unrealized ideas.

well there is no other choice to leave it because the conditions of the current exchange place which are not good also make many projects that have tokens collapsed in price and in my opinion as long as the team in Telegram is still active to respond and provide good information, it will recover something later.

currently, it is not a matter of high bounty pools that have many participants. those who have good managers and definitely pay with tokens that have value in the market are a priority. Many projects that have small rewards with so many participants are still being worked on by bounty hunters without complaining. Those who come up with promises without a clear market are a potential scam.

Bounties with bogus rewards are suspect might be a potential scammer a lot of hunters are always promoting projects with a high bounty pools not minding whether the project has a clear cut roadmap, viable and feasible in a long run, most of these projects are later abandoned and dumped.
There are some solid projects with small rewards however these projects has future prospects when listed in an exchange the chances of their token pump 10x in the future is very bright having been managed with good developers and team.

[NewRanger]

not necessarily, group activity on telegram does not guarantee that the project will recover. all depends on the performance of the team on the project. I mean, even if they answer the questions on telegram but they don't work well then the project will still die

This communication was fake , it just to make channel member feel comfort and thinking project still alive. many telegram group run like this , and developers team didnt deliver any update to investors. if we find this telegram goup better to leave and forget it immediately, there are alot good project in market that we could invest on it.

You are right, it is very difficult to find the best bounty and we don't know exactly whether they will pay the bounty payment at the end. We have already experience this situation, in the beginning, the company used to attract the bounty people by allocating higher percentage of reward to the bounty and at last failed to deliver.

Agreed. I have seen telegram groups which have regular updates, but also have a history of scamming the bounty hunters. But this can be one of the red flags. If the telegram group of a bounty or a project is not active for a long time, then we can assume that there are some issues with them. But the reverse can't be always true. Just because a telegram channel is active, you can't claim that all is well within the project.

[imstillthebest]

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard.

how do you know . just because your a bounty hunter you can now say that almost ninety nine percent of people are working in it ? the number is alot .

i know there are more bounties compare to airdrop , sig campaign and others but there are also many scam bounties and many people already gave up on bounty while some dont like bounties but they apply on airdrop and sig campaign  .

and how can you know that all that percent of bounty hunters work hard ? many bounty hunters dont actually work hard because why will they work hard when the payment is not 20/50 chance to recieved .

[Alamin1444]

Yes, you are Right. I Work too those Bounty you mentioned & They Scam, we can't do anything.even Bounty Detective Team can't verify then how can we! It’s almost 7/8 month i am joining Bounties but still no profit i am just working & working, What can we do if they scam or Don't send us The Token we work for 😢. We really can't do Anything.

We have already experience this situation, in the beginning, the company used to attract the bounty people by allocating higher percentage of reward to the bounty and at last failed to deliver.

There are bounties that payout once a week or once a month. Those are a much safer bet since you can actually see that you get paid on time and the right amount. I would avoid bounties that promise payment at the end of their bounty campaign, as you really are at their mercy if they will pay you or not.

I would much really prefer on having that set-up because you can somehow assured that you would really be getting paid out of your hardwork and not to wait for the
entire duration of the whole bounty program.

These kind of campaigns do exist but not really that often or somewhat rare to be seen but if theres one then it would be better to join but dont really think that it will
give you an assurance to get paid neither those coins will be ending up to be no value at all which would really be ending up on useless state.

Its up to someone if they can still risk out their time and effort to be wasted in most bounty projects.

[darkphoenix2610]

I don't think so but agreed that many bounty programs are already scammed nowadays. This is just normal now in the crypto world when owner of project just want to raise funds and just scammed investors and bounty participants. And this will be up to the bounty participants to be careful in joining. Do their own research and make sure that the team of the project are legit and they must also rely with the bounty manager that are handling it. In such way they can avoid to join in scam bounty program.

[SamboNZ]

Because legitimate projects approach exchanges for funding its more faster and they dont have to comply with the ICO regulations. So, whats left doing ICO are the scams or unregulated ICO, bounty participants should just adapt with the changes.

[BTCappu]

Bounty programs became really horrible in the recent one year, it wasn't like this back in the day, bounty used to mean something. Hell there was tons of people starting fake accounts and trying to build them from zero to eventually mean something and be big in almost all social media accounts, just so they could apply to bounty programs all in one and get more money instead of just one real their account.

People literally "broke rules" to get more money. You know how those people look right now? Bunch of fake accounts that look real to fake the projects but work hard from all of them and get nothing to be faked by the project in return. There is a bit of justice in that but to be honest projects fake the real hard working honest people as well so they are in bigger trouble.

[gwapoinside2]

I agree that there are a lot and majority of crypto projects nowadays a becoming scams. It only means that the crypto industry is growing as I gave awareness to scammers. That is why it is important to deeply and properly research the projects you intend to invest or join. Because eventhough there are many scam projects, the ones that are legit could give you great rewards at the end.

[(o)(o)ilikeboobs(o)(o)]

Learn from previous bonuses, now bonus programs only offer a small number of bonuses.
Projects no longer attract investors as they once did and they no longer hold bounty programs.
The ICO wave in 2017 was too big and it was beneficial to the bounty participants.
Currently, high-value bounty programs run the risk of damaging the project's value. Projects tend to be IEOs and mobilize with small capital so there is no bonus program.

[Raist]

Scumers were here from the very beginning. The problem now is that there are no new ideas and if they are they do not need supporters from this forum. Times are changing and crypto industry has another ways for promoting new projects. But that's a must, gold times for bounties were in 2017 I suppose when all this merit system was invented.

[Inkdatar]

This is the fact in this industry a lot of bounty program are worthless and indeed scam. All we have to do is to be careful in joining those bounty project. No assurance that when you join you can earn money. Actually, it has been discuss before about this issues in this industry. So we just have to be skeptical when joining.

[wmaurik]

This happens in my opinion because there are many DeFi trends that use it for free promotions like during ico season, it's just that it seems like this can still be found by doing research on their project before joining bounty, but the problem is that most people today think all defi bounties are good but if you look at ico a few years ago that kind of thinking should be changed in my opinion.

[isaac_clarke22]

That's why you don't do KYC in bounties and at the same time I don't even advise to use fake ids just to claim these coins that'll turn to shitcoins anyway in the end as you'll just waste your money for the service of creating one plus paying your fines once you get busted out of using fake ids.
Scams were already here long time ago even back in ICO days in 2017, and in fact scams are already part of anything that involves throwing money anyway.

[alisonwonder]

The DeFi project is still relatively new and there are still many people who want to develop and adopt it so in the future I am sure that more and more platforms will use the DeFi scheme to try to get investors interested and give full support to the project.

I think recently dfinance project is good to invest in. My bad that I miss this opportunity to participate. Still I don't know why I participated in the Terracredit campaign but now I believe only my research. From my research only 10 percent campaigns are scams. I should take this risk instead of believing in bounty manager research.

[tracyhayley]

I am a Bounty hunter and I know 99% people working on Bounties they really work hard. Now days bounties are really worthless. 90% Project is fake and Scam.
Entire project is nothing but a money stealing trap for immature investors. This guys are running bounty campaign and interesting to see that bounty hunters are joining blindly without checking the project is real or fake. Even the bounty manager who is managing the campaign didn’t feel it necessary to check the project deeply. This is why scammers are using bitcointalk as their source of income.          

Many Bounty Groups they arrange bounties blindly without verify team and Project . They only using bitcointalk for income. They not understand our efforts , hard working.

Event Bounty Detective Group one of the biggest Bounty Group they also Provide fakes Project Like
1- Kingcasino
2- ClipX
3- Terracredit ( looking me suspicious)

ClipX Collect Our KYC and Then They leave from all social media Platforms. They also delete their Website.

When ClipX Bounty program start They not Required any KYC after Bounty program end they said we have to passed KYC for claiming the Rewards many people did but
They not given any amount for this.

All i can see is that you've joined all bounties that created by bounty detective, am i right ? 
i will say, that you've joined some bounty based on the post title. don't fall for it. because almost all of his bounties that created by him will write a big prize pool on its post title. you can check it. check carefully about the projects that you want to join from the team, whitepaper, etc. i ever once join his bounty too and yes i think it's a scam. the price of the token from his campaign is dumped so hard when they hit market. also, you've been scammed by the projects  that created by the same person, why did you keep joining his projects ? 

[ahyadinnn]

I am not quite sure that in the future the defi project will be as successful as it is today, for now only a few defi projects are successful, balom again there will also be fraud in the future by making defi projects, always be careful with defi projects, because they are not all defi projects can bring profit

[yangongear]

There are still plenty of bounties out there with acceptable rewards, I don't think it's too bad. If you do a lot of tasks and know how to choose quality projects, I think making money from bounty is still possible.

[bitcoin31]

Project is used only the bounty but he real worthless or the scam is the project, I missed the year 2017 because there is a lot of project and bounty who are successf but after that year until now many of the project turn into scam so it is not easy to trust for the new bounty because there is a chance that your time in joining and participating will become useless because you will not get paid which is your reward.
