UPS AND DOWNS IN BOUNTY ACTIVITIES

[iTradeChips]

This is only a small portion of the entire bounty experience a bounty hunter face for the past years. We need to take into consideration their tireless pursuit to find the "jackpot" bounty as they try from bounty to bounty. Being disqualified sometimes for small reasons, not getting their share when a bounty declares failure of their project, being paid worthless tokens and coins and many many others. These hardships were the reason many stop doing bounties or switched to bitcoin or satoshi based bounties and those of the top coins in crypto.

are you sure there are already so many campaigns that worth some time to be spend there?
for what I can see mostly are just a waste of time around 1 every 10 give some tokens, with a very low value (less than 10USD).
or more over it's just a scam bounty or a scam project.
probably newbie will never enter into this world with free distribution of "valuable" token. it's just the evolution of an entire industry.
I will not surprised if new way of rewarding will be proposed in the upcoming years (something more similar to DeFi then ICO itself...)

I am very choosy in picking up.the bounty campaigns that I participate in .I only chose which rewards well and has a good chance of success but after the ico they sometimes decide to postpone the distribution . This infuriates me .

I am still waiting for one of the project , they have muted the group for a long time time and it's been more than 2 weeks now .

I think Newbies that started bounty activities this year 2020 never knew or understand fully how this space works. i think they need to research properly on this fourm on past topics posted here about how frustrating and annoying it could be. campaigning for projects that will suddenly turn their back on hunters meanwhile at the beginning they were friendly. i have seen so many projects pay hunters and most projects launched this year. it looks like we are back in the good old days.

As you join campaigns and earn your pay, remember that it could be frustrating at some point especially after the bitcoin bull run run that is been experienced recently.
My suggestion, build your knowledge and move to the services section for quality campaigns
the altcoin bounty section is highly unpredictable.

Well, definitely there are some of the newbies who came up here in the forum who really don't have any knowledge and idea about in cryptocurrency, aside from that even they knew it is risky investing with most of the coins that are shit because they never investigate or research it first, in the end they've lost because of their negligence. So, I agreed with you that we must build knowledge first.

Doing bounty now is not very a good time to join, lots of people join so the allocation got nrw divided. Also lots of rug pulls going everywhere makes your hard earn bounty useless same as airdrop

Yeah, most of the coins you get from airdrops now days are useless and the same can be said for the coins being given in the bounty and sometimes they do not even send the coins because the whole project is messed up and they decide not to pay anyone.

I would wish there was a platform made for token distribution and management of bounties because right now anyone can create their thread and start a bounty and participants will join without any due diligence and promote without even knowing if they are promoting a scam and at the end they wont get anything apart from empty promises.

[jostorres]

To be honest I think they should, not just for the sake of bounty but for understanding the way the forum works because in their attempt to hunt for bounty they may end up breaking the forum rules of which might attract a permanent ban, this should be their first priority,
And yes, understanding the forum and understanding the whole bounty hunting process will prepare them for the many disappointment that comes with being a bounty hunter, it is not an easy task, it requires lots and lots of patience.

That is how the forum works right now to be honest.

People who are new to the signature campaign and bounty thing first join the token based campaigns and after working for months they realize that now they have learned and are ready to move up to the next tier and then they join the services section based bitcoin signature campaign.

The problem if everyone suddenly joins only BTC based campaign is that the services section will become the next bounty hunting space and get crowded so I believe it is the right trend to learn in the lower campaigns and then move up for the better ones.

Also we need to understand not all tokens are useless as sometimes these altcoins can pay way higher than what a top level campaign participant will earn.

[RokokGudangGaram]

Yes it's really important for the bounty hunters that they have knowledge not only because for them to earn but also for their security and to avoid promoting scam projects. Right now I've seen some really good bounty campaigns on the forum let's hope it will continually open more good projects to come.

[durilup]

You forgot something about earning these coins/tokens from bounty campaigns . If you noticed after 2017 when bullrun ended most of coins/tokens failed and disappeared . So if a bounty hunter has a bad timming when it comes to selling his earnings he may lose them all.

In 2020, newbie who join the Bounty campaign I see that they are more interested in the Twitter and Facebook social media campaign because beginners if they don't have merit will find it difficult to join the signature campaign.  My prediction beginners who are often active in Bounty now understand the risks they will accept.

I don't blame btcltcdigger for quiting bounty managing, I heard that many bounty hunters don't care much about bounty managers this days, they act too mean to popular bounty managers like bubbalex, btcltcdigger and others, it's not just about how hard it is to manage bounties, it's more than that

How else should bounty hunters act ? How would they act? They have done their work and they have full rights to ask stupid questions and repeat them. And it is bounty managers task to be calm and answer all this stupidity. He got paid for that.

Or you expect that bounty managers should only check stakes, accept participants, fill the spreadsheet? And for other kind of work he has a headache. What is "hunters don't care about managers"? Should they send them BD and xmas gift?

[nebuch]

Ups and downs is real. We never get rid of it as long as we live. This issue is not just related with Bitcoin Forum community but also to our daily lives. Our failures lead to down trend mindset and emotional. Not referring to all but some of us experience down to earth feeling. The good thing is we managed to recover again from scratch to riches. The important thing is you bounce back and continues your good perspective in life neither in this forum or in your out side life.

services section for quality campaigns.

Maybe that's good advice, if you qualify for a campaign on the service.
Service requirements are very strict and pay is adequate for participants, the basic rule is Merit.

However, if you have a post of good quality and meaningful especially to members and forums, you may have a requirement to get there.

For yourself how are you ready to go on board service.

Bounties in board service have strict rules, not everyone will be qualified to join and again they don't allow unlimited participants, they only allow very few, some just up to 8 bounty hunters needed, still I prefer altcoins bounties, they have better rewards than btc paying campaigns

I have a point to make on this your post, first I would like to ask if you have managed any bounty project before, if NO then it can be little tricky to understand this, if you are managing a bounty project you don't have control over the funds, all you can do is wait on the team to make payments right? So the team choose a date for you and you pinned that on your group for bounty hunters to see, here is what bounty hunters like doing

1. They don't read pinned messages
2. They spam the group asking the exact same questions multiple times
3. Some even insult bounty managers in the process
4. If rules change, like postpone payment that's when you will see the real color of some bounty hunters

Bounty are not always profitable. This is due to shit projects or scam that after your effort for months of promoting you'll get nothing.

Its really disappointing to experience such situation but thats the risk we have to take as a bounty hunter. Thats why if you know that you have what it got to be qualified in a bitcoin paying campaign then much better to switch because these kind of campaigns has an assurance that you'll get paid weekly.

Already a long time ago it was necessary to stop participating in bounty campaigns and move to a new level. The new level is investing. Only there you can make good money.

[ARTCOINSLV]

almost all newbies don't see a project as good or not they continue to try to join all IEO / ICO projects without seeing that the project really has potential and has the responsibility to pay bounty hunters, most of their projects only use bounty hunters to promote their project regularly. For free, this has happened in several projects they don't appreciate bounty hunters, they don't pay a penny, most projects that don't want to pay bounty hunters will be a scam.

The hunters should also learn a lot from there. In fact that if there are so many hunters who bllindly joining in any campaign without trying to do any research about that.
It seems like that the hunters need more education but surprisingly even the campaign has ended and there will always be a hunter who was always ending his report.

I understand that it is necessary to study projects in order not to do the work for free.
But this is a problem with our forum. The BTT forum should check teams before the start of the bounty campaign.

We're back in the old good days, but altcoins aren't in the same position as before. We know that altcoins number is increasing everyday and now twice the time than old good days. Thanks for your advice. From now on I will check more in the service sections for some quality campaigns. I want to see the results in this case.

Whether a noob or someone experienced, you still have to know the procedures to choose the right projects.You have to know the right managers to work with, know their history and whether they are the types of managers that gets the right projects, and the steps they follow with choosing projects to manager, for example there are managers that will ask for escrow upfront, and some of them will not.

To be honest, some bounty hunters are fools who don't really care about the participants, unlike the others. They don't really care whether the participants can successfully get their coins or not. Some of the managers will contact the participant to ask them to post their concerns about the official group of the bounty.

No lies in that, most of them only care about the payment they are getting from those hosting the projects, whether the hunters are getting paid or not is none of their business. Just as I first mentioned about escrow, a lot of hunters have complained about this, that they want to managers to be asking for escrows to secure their hard work, but most of them wouldn’t.

I think for newbie become frustrated when trying for joining bounty campaign after payment delay, reward send in several phase and most frustrated when know with coin is not have value any more. Just the bad reputation for newbie and give up for never joining bounty campaign any time. I know how is hard when beginning with bounty campaign from joining social media campaign where we should active for submit reporting each week until think how to make creative tweet for social media campaign, joining more than four until six week at the end just received above $10 is most disappointed because they have working hard and waiting for ling time, this happen now with bounty campaign but I keep working and looking for good bounty campaign for joining.

New projects that gives away this type of bounty usually do not do it because they are giving free money and they are charitable organizations, they do it because you help them get more known, the more they have people who hunt for their bounty means there is more people who work to get their name heard, and the idea is that if they give away free tokens but get heard enough that during their pre-sale they get a lot of funding, they would be able to cover that difference and make a profit.

Also these teams got these tokens for free, they created it, so it is safe to say that they are not losing any money neither, they are just giving away something free and claim it worths money. So at the end of the day, bounty programs are not there to help you, it is there to help the projects.
