How to move on if you've failed to meet the due date of a bounty campaign

[BayAngelo]

A legit advise for hunters in tis platform. i believe that majority of the hunters in this platform are tired and unwilling to take part in any bounties again due to payment issues from bounties here. it is either you move ahead or you take up other challenges that guarantee payments are out there. do more research, there are other platforms paying other bitcointalk or you can move to the services thread.

Very interesting writing. what you write is very relevant to the reality in the bounty campaign niche.

I often see some uneducated bounty hunters whining when they run out of time to submit or make reports. There are also those who confidently spend a lot of time and energy making videos or articles but in fact, the form has been closed, or the BM assessment is not in accordance with their expectations. Come on ... we have to get rid of the ego, we have to really understand the ecosystem in the bounty campaign, learn from experience and don't force your will.

From the bounty campaign, I learned many things, one of which is discipline. Often I postpone work, I think the deadline is still far away, so I miss opportunities when there is a change in agenda. It was very painful, especially when I finished writing the article wholeheartedly but it couldn't be submitted. This is really my fault because I like to put off work until towards the end, I should have finished earlier and not procrastinate, as you explained.

Many bounty hunters who failed to meet the due date of the bounty campaign, because they did too many projects.
My advice is to just focus on doing a few projects, so it can promote projects well. I sometimes did see some participants
complaining and blaming the bounty manager for not being understanding and flexible. They should have to introspect
themselves and not provide reports on time. Follow the bounty campaign rules that have been set, then you will be safe.

I agree with the number 3,

I have seen a lot of bounty hunters who blame the bounty manager all the time. Instead of submitting their reports or finish their tasks prior to the due date every week, bounty hunters always finish their tasks in rush. Also, most bounty hunters do not know when is the cut-off of their participating bounty, that's why they always unable to submit their report on time.

There's a spreadsheet for every bounty campaign and we must coordinate serious concerns to telegram bounty group. Bounty managers were too busy accommodating their task and other members. Patience is very important and every hunter shouldn't stop throwing blames to other people, it doesn't solve the circumstances rather making it worst.

Bounties were too popular before but its not profitable now and there are no guarantee for payment. If you have some skills in writing, content creation or drawing and as design maker  better be active joining and applying in Services there are also open slots for signature campaigns if you gained merit or atleasmst have good posting record https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0

I think the feeling of annoyance will come if you see that the price of tokens that should be obtained is quite large, but because it never meets the due date of bounty ends up reducing the amount you get, and usually this is experienced if you join too many bounties, which is why it's important to choose the bounty that is will be joined, joining so many bounties will make it difficult for us to remember every rule and time to submit our task, but if still want to follow all the bounties you need to make notes about when to submit a task and how much task to do.

Just move on generally. It was on you in the first place when you failed to pass your work on the due date. The project manager is just doing protocol. The best action would be to consider what you did and do better on the next one.

[Francis Freeman]

While saying don't whine is easy it's really tough to take when month of your work and time isn't appreciated. But yeah there is little the bounty managers can do if the team goes rogue .

As always we move on in the hope that we will find some genuine projects to promote which will fasten the blockchain adoption.

Bounty campaigns are made so that they're hard to finish and if you break a single rule out of a dozen you will not get paid.

This is done so that out of a hundred accounts 50% will do some of the work but get paid nothing which makes them free workforce for the team.

If you can't do it 100% you better not do it at all because you'll end up like a slave who works for nothing.

Exactly this, some of those bounty managers know that they could be more flexible if they really wanted it but they prefer not to do so because that means they can get away with not paying a significant deal of their participants and they can do it without breaking their own rules and as such no one really has any room for complaining since the bounty hunters were the ones that did not read the rules or failed to fulfil all the necessary requirements in order to become eligible for the reward.

They don't follow the rules, that's true, but it happens more and more often that teams pay with tokens that never get listed and campaign managers change the rules during the course of the campaign. They sometimes even add KYC requirements to limit the number of people elligible for payment.

It won't end until people start valuing their time and demanding funds to be escrowed and distributed by someone trusted by the community.

Imagine that a moderator decided to delete the post you've quoted and did not delete any of the posts that responded to and quoted me. Double standards?

Gone are the days when bounty project pays hugely. These days it doesn't worth the time and energy. After months of promoting a project, you'll end up not receiving a dime of their token. Even though you receive, it will be worthless token.
It's better not to partake in any bounty for now cos crypto market is so bearish as it stands now

Yes dude, I'm very happy and fully support you for giving a good advice for everyone here especially your statement bolded part.

But, why are you participate in bounty too? It's not worth since you only receive worthless token right?

I can relate to this very well too, I actually stopped doing bounty for a while because of this.
Sometimes it is bounty manager being unfair and that makes it worse, sometimes it is actually you that didn't do enough and that is not really something you can do about, you should have done more and if you didn't there is nothing to be done anymore and time to move on.

When the manager being unfair and you see other people getting the bounty and you are not getting it, that is just how it would be and nothing you do will change it so there is really no point in talking about it and arguing over it.

One thing bad about almost all managers is the fact that they do not really change their idea, even if they are unfair, they do not really accept the fact that they are unfair and that is why you can't do anything about it, normally you should be able to show them how they are unfair but since they do not accept it you can't really show them how unfair they are.

I like point number 4 which is about YouTube content. I am one of the full time bounty hunters or can be said to be active in this forum. And of course I don't depend on just one point, I keep trying to do my best from one point to the second point to the next. at least to my limit. I'm constantly looking for ways to earn passive income in the crypto space other than as a project promoter. and it taught me to continue working without complaining under any circumstances.

But it seems you are wasting your time for nothing, no matter how hard you try the chances are less for you to make money and its really not possible to make constant income from the bounties.So try to learn other methods of earning apart from the bounty hunting.

I disagree with you mate, engaging in bounties doesn't seem to be a total waste on the part of the hunters, because there are series of ways to earn handsomely from doing bounties(different types). Yes, I understand the problems facing the bounty section of the forum, scam projects everywhere which sometimes ends up with nothing as reward. But, still are there good projects with good pay for Hunter's, doing YouTube and writing articles will be the best option for any bounty hunter and not just doing their social medias.

Follow the rules, don't break any and then get paid. If they are made so that it is hard to finish, then why do people still join them? Are they that stupid to understand that the rules are made so that people unintentionally breaks the rules and gets paid? I also heard people who one rule by mistake aren't warned or anything, they keep promoting the projects and doing their tasks. They only get to know they broke the rule when the bounty program ends. Does sound like they deliberately do it so people work for them for free.

It may seem odd why bounty hunters keep accepting those working conditions but I think they do simply because they can earn more money with bounty campaigns than with any job they could get on their countries and as long as that is the case we are going to keep seeing some bounty managers abusing their position and taking advantage of it, one example of this is when campaigns assure their participants that there is not going to be any KYC and at the end they change that policy leaving bounty hunters with a difficult decision, do they accept this or not? They cannot complain because now bounty managers have a rule that says that they can change and add any rule whenever they want and all of those that do not accept the new conditions lose their payment.

~~~

you're right. so many hunters pick so many projects in once, they think that they can handle it easily. i think they miss the due date in some campaign because of their own fault. they didn't pay too much attention to the rules and worked in too many bounty projects. when you do so many projects, it's hard to get notified for some update/change when the managers changed the due date of a bounty campaign. they won't notice it. in the end, they blame it to the managers.

The hardest part of becoming a hunter where you do put yourself into a hard situation where it do leaves you no choice but having no pay.KYC been asked for you to claim your tokens?

They had tell that they dont require it out but in the end then rules have altered.This isnt something new then bounty hunters will just sit and decide if they would comply or would just
simply forget their pay and give importance of their information rather than getting those tokens.

Its pity but this had been the reality on bounty hunting.

[cabron]

This thread must be very coincident because the project DRK Defi  was accused of scam because the team plagiarized their Whitepaper.  The accusation thread is this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277113.0 but the bounty hunters are expecting the project are backed by honest developers but looks like they cheated right from the start thru the WP.

Nothing can be done to take back the time lost so this is really important to learn about the project before joining. For now, those bounty hunters can read the tips in the first page to move on.

[Mealea]

It can be very painful when you find yourself in this kind of situation, it happened to me recently, I was hoping to submit my article for DEGO on the last day but by the time I concluded the article after so much work, I discovered that the submission is closed, I felt so happy that I have wasted my time all day writing an article which I couldn't submit for a reward, but we must learn to move forward. The manager is not to be blame here.

[studio1one]

Ah this really brings me back to the old bounty days which I do not miss at all!

It never happened to me,,, I did not participate in too many though, I made the mistake of joining projects I thought were cool and did it for MONTHS to realize later they would never pay out (or tokens worth zero). Since then, I just stuck to my single campaign on here. No worries about deliveries and payments, just chat and discuss as I normally do:)

Happened to me a lot too, I participated in the signature campaign of the project, which I thought was quite cool and had no red flags. For 2-3 months, I wore their signature, and later they ended out to be a failed project lol.

For me, a deadline is a deadline, and everyone should do their best to finish their task by then. We should not fight with BM because it's not BM's fault that you delayed.

this is a common practice with many hunters, they always delay doing their bounty task, they will come up with excuses when the bm refuses to accept their late entries, most hunters who behave like this are the type that join more than what they can handle, they join almost every bounty that comes up and at the end they will fail to fulfill the task, and sometimes their actions can also delay spreadsheet compilation and bounty distribution.
