Pain of bounty hunters

[junmisakiro]

It's really painful to end up with zero after months of promoting new projects but most times that this happens it's our faults, the way we do research are of different levels, some will say they've done good research and they will still end up promoting a scam bounty project, let's work on how we do research cos that's the only solution

That is the risk we take in participating in the bounty, it has been a long time to work but the results are a scam, but some have only done it for a while, the results are very satisfying.
 From there we have to be smart to learn a new project before we follow it, so that we are not disappointed at the end of the bounty

now from what you explain it shows that no one can guarantee what you do from participating in the bounty campaign, you should not expect to be successful, just do what is assigned and if it is successful then consider it as your bonus so when you have do that will not feel disappointed again.

Everything that has been said is totally true, there are still many bounty hunters who really work hard and give all their efforts just to gave the quality that the project is looking for and to satisfied them as well even at the end there is no assurance of us whether we will get paid for many months of work or not. Also, that is true that bounty hunter should not be blamed for the price of a certain coin/token being dumped because if you take a look the bounty allocation is always has the smallest portion of the total token supplies.

For me the problem here is the project I guess, If the project has a good target and good platform and if its very helpful this one has chance a massive adoption they it can produced demand for the token/coin/crypto. but is hasn't any utility this will result a huge dump.

Being a bounty hunter in my past when I am newbie, I joined on any bounty campaign because I only knows that is income for me and I don't care at all if this is scam or not productive and active project. I got a lot of mistakes when I'm newbie.

I must confess, we bounty hunters witness one or more pain ever since we started hunting bounty. Imagine working for some months and later find out that the founder of the project is no where to found again. After work with sleepless nights. This is just tiring and sometimes makes someone weak. I believe it's because most of the project owners didn't do their home very well, and probably due to lack of investors. I'm sharing my major pain and concern- when the project manager promise to distribute and they refused to do so on time putting hunters mind on high expectations. Hoping they will receive the reward. And they will never do such as promised before the coin price dump.
It gives me so much heartbreak.

We all are know that most of the hunter work hard, but they do not get proper profit from those bounty.Exactly, most especially when that project goes up then they refuse to pay. I’ve been experienced a lot of that, I can’t forget when that certain project goes well then when the time need to pay, they disqualified account for no reasons and i am one of them. That is really hurts because you put time and effort then they are not going to pay you. But we need to continue and forget the past.. Because, most of the projects are scam projects. I am also a bounty hunter. I did worked many project but I got some payment from some project.But i don't get bountyes. As a result many  bounty hunters losing thier faith in this platform.So this is the pain thing of bounty hunter.

It does not happen with every bounty hunter but I agree in some cases real bounty hunters duped due to impostor participate in the name of him/her and got reward as well and some time we received coins that are not even worth a total 1$ value even I have several coins in my portfolio that not even worth the Gas fee charged to transfer to the exchange to sell and that really pains.

I am one of the bounty hunter's feeling disappointed that I felt when the project delayed distribution and the price of tokens became cheap.

I can understand your pain. The first time I participated in a bounty was almost three years ago. Back then the number of participants was small, and the rewards per user was high. But things changed after that. There was an influx of tens of thousands of new bounty hunters and the proportion of scam projects and failed projects increased. And this is the reason why the payments became erratic and smaller.

[globalpain]

wasted work is one of the most painful things for bounty hunters,
but it is the risk of a job as a bounty hunter, just do it and enjoy this job,
lest you get caught in the pain.

[BRABO2]

 Now, bounty hunter are face many problems. Bounty hunter work hard but they don,t get proper value.They work many projects. But, they do not get right payment. Because, most of the projects are scam projects. I am also a bounty hunter. I did worked many project but I got some payment from some project.But i don't get bountyes. As a result many  bounty hunters losing thier faith in this platform.This is the most painful thing for bounty hunter.

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

I hope that new year will bring high quality campaigns with good rewards so that the hunters could be compensated by the market as last few years have proven to be a nightmare for hunters.

the experience you mention I have had that's how being a bounty hunter is always wrong when a dump occurs whereas dump actually occur because there is little interest in the market or investors sell their bonuses simultaneously And it hurts the most when the bounty has been end, many project owners cut  allocations at will they don't even pay at all

[minatour]

Have been hunting for couples of years now, so i understand what you are saying, bounty hunting is not that easy, there are alot of honest hunters stressing day and night promoting projects with the hope of been rewarded at last for their hard labour and after this, they still got the blame of dumping price even with the small amount of token received as bounty reward, I just pray for better days for bounty hunters.

a very complex problem about bounty hunters. many mention as project destroyers but many also mention helping a project be successful. It looks like the project developer has to be good at managing the circulation and expenses required for marketing. Thanks for link thread

Most of the bounty Managers I'm not saying all but some of them are hiding something. How did I say that? because I know some of you
noticed this in most bounty projects where there are some BM who lied to their first announcement in the bounty thread, in what way?
Like they will said there is no KYC required then after the bounty campaign finished the first statement was suddenly changed where all bounty hunters need to submit KYC or else they won't receive the rewards token, and this is really unfair and this BM is abusing their position to get the token of the other participants who will not submit KYC just simple as that, it maybe hurt but true.

This the way how bounty campaign management get double reward as bounty manager and they try to make chance how bounty participants difficulty without pass KYC and their reward will automatically on bounty campaign manager wallet. I know with many time joined bounty campaign suddenly they change rule from wallet until change how bounty participants have pass KYC to received reward, but bounty manager always give announcement on deadline day and many participants miss KYC and not change their address, so how the reward for bounty participants will back to the project or back to bounty manager wallet, just think by your self.

Actually it often happens in several bounty campaigns, and the rules can change at any time if their CEO / team wants it, there must be things that the CEO / Team / BM will see about the Bounty campaign, for example to avoid users who have multiple accounts, or who steal link to other people's articles or also steal other people's YouTube links, because what BM has to do is prevent the fraud from entering the campaign, and in the end make the decision to do KYC, so that this bounty campaign will run well, I only take my positive thoughts, if there is a difference in thinking that's a normal thing, maybe there are those who agree with my thoughts, on this matter ..

Once bitten is twice shy, always remember the name of such bounty manager and stop joining any of his future projects, such bounty manager can't be trusted, a reputable bounty manager will never go back on his word, No KYC is NO KYC

Many bounty hunter need their payment steady after they are done with their campaign the next thing is for them to receive payment for the work done.

Why do they need them steady? To drop it immediately? I just dont understand hunters that need their coins or tokens here and now, while they are not listed anywhere? What are they going to do with them? Just look them and imagine how rich they are, while calculating token price via ICO or sale price?

As long as hunters value their free time so cheap (by participating in each and every campaign without being selective), they will be scammed with distributions.
