Pain of bounty hunters

[CryptoLogo]

Projects team shouldn't introduced bounty campaigns If they aren't ready to pay, blaming bounty hunters is lame honestly, lack of volume and liquidity is what makes a token or coin dumps, if there is enough volumes on good exchanges the coin or token will recover very fast or even some times the token will still maintain it's value when dump is ongoing.

In this case, the first thing to do is to get to know the developers better, study their roadmap and tokenomics. After all, bounty hunters are the ones who lead the project to success, but they can also become the catalyst for the failure of a bad project. If the tokenomics of the project is compiled rationally, then the moment the hunters start selling rewards, the project will not suffer.

The venture consistently assign just a limited quantity of rate for the abundance crusade, Regardless of knowing the quantities of member. I experience each time there is a trick in the venture that I follow When burnt out on following bounties that don't pay abundance trackers like me, we simply surrender since we can't do a lot, just karma will come to covetous individuals who would prefer not to pay abundance trackers.

The reason why they can easily blame the bounty hunters is because we don't have a voice. There is no one who can communicate directly to them, whatever the blame they say to bounty hunters, there will be no response coming from hunters. Most of the time, blaming bounty hunters is the way of the project team to easily abandon the project, they say that the price have no future because bounty hunters already dump the price.

The biggest problem why this happens is because bounty hunters are increasing day by day and there the demand is decreasing because of that and the project knows that they can do anything they want but still get more and more bounty hunters.

I wish there was some quality control because were times when bounty hunters were respected and in fact they cheated a lot of projects by multi accounting but right now the opposite is happening as they are being treated cruelly and denied their payments. This might continue for a long time given the amount of people who are ready to work for such cheap prices and some even bear the risk of not getting paid.

It's not easy to become a bounty hunter, to enjoy bounty hunting you must be willing to work for free and not take things too serious because some times you won't get anything in return, bounty hunting have become an addiction that's why I'm still here, there are different projects that failed me since 2019 but still I'm here because few good ones paid me very well, adapt to the pain or quit bounty once and for all.

[mersal]

Bounty hunters are playing a major role for a project to get succeed but their words remain unsung all the times just because of their availability is vast and ready to take offers from the project even when they are nit clear about the future of the projects because hunters consider it as free money but they don't realize it as something they make for the efforts made.So better we can change then asking the whole system to be changed.Stop promoting the projects which is not having good managers or escrow.

[Balladtony77]

It's never a must to promote projects, if you can't withstand not getting paid few times stop promoting bounties that failed to use Escrow or go for btc paying campaigns in service section, you are seeing lots of pain yet you are still joining, aren't you the ones punishing yourself?

[SirLancelot]

The real pain is when they are blamed for the failed projects. You work hard to provide something for the project, you wear their signature, you share them on twitter facebook and instagram you go around telling people about it, you refer friends and tag strangers and add members to their telegram and after all of that sometimes you do not even get paid for it, but when you do end up getting paid for it and the price plumments because you want to get paid and cash out for your hard work, they blame you for the dropping price.

Why is it always the bounty hunters who crash the price? Maybe the project wasn't good enough that it couldn't find buyers big enough to cover the bounty prizes that were sold? Shouldn't it be projects responsibility to keep the price high no matter what? Why blame bounty hunters who want to be paid?

1. Before promoting any bounty try to accept the fact that not all bounties will keep their promises.
2. Your research skills will bring you closer to new promising project, so don't choose bounties randomly or because of their allocations
3. It's better and safer to find bounties from high reputable bounty managers, they mostly keep their promises

You really noticed and told everything very accurately. But I can make a small amendment to your word. The Bounty manager can not always be a guarantee of the decency of the project developers. I personally encountered a problem when the TenTum project team deceived Not only the bounty hunters, but also the bounty manager.

Temtum bounty manager is legit but dev isn't legit. He cheated with the kyc process. Reputable manager isn't enough until the escrow process. We can trust any manager if the escrow process is OK. But we can't do anything in general rules because teams have the right to change everything but there must be some rules about how much change is possible.

[optimisticcm]

I would like to make it clear that I have been a bounty hunter, bounty manager, and part of project management for various projects and this is not to support the bounty hunters but rather to show the reality how bounty hunters and what they go through in this forum.

I know it's not easy to manage a bounty campaign as you will receive thousands of messages from irritating users, there will be hundreds of fake entries in the spreadsheet then you real users disputing that they didn't receive stakes because some imposters have entered their address against the real user's name and sometimes bounty managers or dev team's response would not be the politest one.

But at the same time there are hundreds of hardworking bounty hunters who work really hard in the hope that their efforts would be rewarded but all the efforts are shadowed by the wrongdoings of few cheap users with fake accounts who bombard, spam the bounty groups and harass bounty managers as a result whole bounty hunter community is looked with suspicious and selfish.

Bounty tokens contribute a very small portion of the total supply if we look at the percentage of tokens which are traded but still bounty hunters are blamed for dumping the market with cheap price, regardless of the price bounty hunters sell the tokens if the project is good then the price will not be affected or even if it's affected it will eventually recover without much loss but they are blamed for dump wherein it's sometimes investors who dump the token for quick profit.

The worst part is when tokens are locked for bounty hunters and only distributed to them when the market is already broken by investors, after their efforts and ill-treatment in the hands of such bounties they finally receive worthless tokens which would be a loss even if they trade as the tokens will not even worth the GAS fee charged in MEW wallet to transfer it.

I urge all the management and bounty managers to treat bounty hunters with respect and they shouldn't be judged.


I have made a similar article about the pain of bounty managers and here is the link you may read it and understand I have seen both the phases

Just like other things bounty payments should be guaranteed and i think there should be regulation on this atleast by bigger countries.
Every new project invests from out of pocket in website development, whitepaper, team, advisors. Similarly they should also have a base budget for bounty campaign so that in case of failure for project to raise funds the hunters could be paid for the work.

[pixie85]

I really like your post, things like this have happened a long time ago, when new coins / tokens enter the market and the price continues to fall, the one to blame is the bounty hunter and often the bounty reward is locked to avoid being dumped. it is impossible for us all to sell bounty rewards when prices fall and become cheap. surely we all hope the price goes up. I hope we can all be appreciated by the bounty manager and about the altcoin dev

Any control over the free market from a third party is unacceptable.

If they have to lock coins to stop people from dumping it it means the coin has no value and the one you see is fake.

When you see a coin team do this you know you've done a bounty for a shitcoin that will never be worth anything. Such actions will never make people hold the coin just postpone the inevitable dump.

Descriptions are really on point. First and foremost for bounty hunters it is advisable not to immediately promoting a project that has not been studied, you must consider things above that before promoting. But as a fact, you need to take a risk if you want to advance but also need a thorough study so as not to waste of efforts and time to produce good results in the future.

In doing our job, we should take it seriously if we won't to suffer the consequences of neglect. Like when we join bounty and fill form.
But, we mustn't take serious to count bounty reward before the bounty end. Because not all bounty rewards is same when its distribution.

[proTECH77]

Many bounty manager don't know how painful, it is to someone bounty hunter who participate in the campaign, from the beginning to the end but to get the payment from the manager will take another many month to receive the payment.
Many bounty hunter really feel bad when there is a delay in  payment because they will start thinking, if their campaign was not successful at the end of the campaign or maybe  there is error in the campaign that is making the manager not to pay for the exercise. Delay and silent are most of the things that make many hunter feel bad with the manager until the manager now explain the cause of the delay of their payment, for them to know that manager is still making everything possible to make sure they get their payment soon.

[Mr.sprin]

The bounty hunter was very disappointed when the payment was delayed for unclear reasons, promised to pay the reward immediately but when the promised time came, the reward didn't pay off as I feel now. have you ever felt the same way?

I have encountered this situation so many times, i think not only you but also the others are no exception. The bounty hunters can't do anything (only wait), their procrastination reasons don't need you to feel justified or not. I used to participate in a bounty campaign and had to wait 5 months.

There is a Life outside this forum,Don't engaged your self if you think that there are too many Mistakes and unfair in places where you trying to earn money.

Welcome to Cryptocurrency and welcome to The forum in where is Good Guys are only few and Bad guys are all over.

Too many issues from Bounty hunters and their respective Expected payments.

That's why it is called Bounty Hunting because there is no assurance of profiting and actually?
almost Majority of those Bounties are Liar and Misleading so try to find Life outside this forum if you are not comfortable and Contented .

[SistaFista]

Yeah, there are some cheater hunters indeed, but not all hunters are cheater.
Bounty hunters has been treated as dumper, while actually the price is not affected only by hunters alone.
The bad thing often happens is when you join the campaign, the price of the token is really good, then later before distribution, the price is dump as hell, some people blame bounty hunters, even when they still haven't receive the token.  

[nikola22]

The bounty hunter was very disappointed when the payment was delayed for unclear reasons, promised to pay the reward immediately but when the promised time came, the reward didn't pay off as I feel now. have you ever felt the same way?

those who regularly take part in bounty campaigns faced situations with refusal to pay a reward. sometimes the project failed, sometimes simply refused to pay. so bounty hunter should move forward and just forget about such situations.

[Jawhead999]

you are right, not everything written at the beginning of the campaign can be as we predict. Many bounty token values do not match the initial value made by the team. so the allocated allocation actually has no definite value.

Because they've written "we reserve a right to... " rules, so they can change the rules and distribution if they wanted to do.
You can't blame them since you're joining a bounty with such rules.

[Furious 7]

I also see things like that are not impossible for several reasons that the team had to make this decision, maybe because they are busy with their products and can also maintain price stability in the market so that they make uncertain decisions.
Surely this will be very disappointed by promoting for so long, but in fact it is not as expected, so we as hunters must accept it because we cannot do anything but wait for updates from them.
