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

[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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[Gumbo88]

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.

For sure at this moment no any project is good, just thinking nothing for free. I think the best airdrop at this time is Uni airdrop

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.
