Pain of bounty hunters

[samcrypto]

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.

That’s a very common move by a scam project, blaming others for their failing token. Hunters must understand the risk if working without being paid on time and if you sell don’t blame yourself if the the falls just continue to work and focus on your own strategy, don’t mind those project especially if you already sold your holdings. This is not an easy job after all, a full of risk job so we deserve to be rewarded, hopefully that you work with the good project.

The pain you have is also the pain that every bounty hunters had feel. But it is very unfortunate that most of us are blaming hunters as the cause of the price dumps which is eventually responsible for the developers also to help their company. But why not these bounty hunters never give up? Because they are still helpful in some other way and these developers need them to promote their project. It doesn't matter if they have to blame, it is out of their mind because they know that they are not and so they keep working for no assurance.

So far, from my experience participating as a bounty hunter, the pain that I experience is when participating in a project but the result is that the token is not too expensive and the most painful is the developer who does not provide the allocation to the bounty hunter. Therefore, until now, I decided to participate in the campaign that had escrowed or gave the allocation to the bounty manager so that the payment would run smoothly.

Bounty hunters should be blamed if you take the all facts together and make a perfect analysis. The idea is simple, the more bounty hunters dump the tokens on the market price the team has to buy back more. If the bounty hunters don't believe in the future of the project, they only need quick cash with the promotion of the random project for a few months. The easy money hunters are hunted by pro scammers, kinda win-win situation for the crypto industry. Shaking the weak hands has been the best option since the first stock market trade.

I'm getting tired of every other post about bounty hunters, they should do something else that can at least guaranteed them money then instead of whining and complaining when the bounty hunters are the main ones that's quick to dump the coins to make a few bucks. The bounty hunters are to blame for how they get treated. If you're still a bounty hunter in 2020 and beyond that, just find something else to do.

this is quite a complex problem, it requires a high sense of tolerance so that the bounty ecosystem remains conducive. Well, it cannot be denied that many cheaters are trying to get as much profit as possible by breaking the rules, many modes are used, all of which have been explained by the OP, starting from registering multiple accounts, cloning other people's accounts, etc. This is where the role of the bounty manager is really needed, the strategy that is implemented must really be able to minimize the existence of fraud, I see a fairly reliable BM like Julerz has a red list of fraudulent accounts.

Becoming a bounty hunter is not as easy as imagined, many people underestimate it because they get coins or tokens for "free". Even though hunters have to work hard to do their job to support the project, come on ... we respect each other. Investors and bounty hunters have a role according to their respective capacities, the developer team should also be wiser in addressing this. And for all of you, bounty hunters, be an educated bounty hunter!

they act willingly to bounty hunter and even didnt respect to our work after several months . for bounty hunter this is the worst moment  when just spend our effort but recieved nothing.

most of bounty hunter need cash quickly and convert their token to bitcoin or major coins . its rare to hold bounty token for several months, if any hunter like it just few people.

I don't think it is right to blame bounty hunters for the dump in the market. Yes, definitely, they will sell the tokens because that's the reason why they participate to begin with but after the dump period, if the project is strong, they should rise again. If not, then, it is not the fault of hunters but the project itself. Also, consider the amount allotted to them, very small as compared to what the team or advisors are holding.

Most project developers will only care about their projects, especially after the project complete and successful. Usually, bounty hunters are worthless in their eyes.
They showed it when they violated the bounty rules they had made. For example, token locking, postponed payments, and more, which I need not reveal one by one, because you already know it too, right?
But not all project developers act like that. But there are only a few project developers who are really sincere to bounty hunters.

it seems that I often experience it like token bounty locked for some time, the bounty reward distribution is changed to incremental.
I know the reason is they scare bounty hunters will dump their token, but why must do that ? Why not change the bounty reward to Stablecoin like USDT or others ?

Sure, why should blame bounty hunters? The bounty hunters have realized that holding too long the tokens got from the new project potentially having lower prices once we will trade them in the future. It is not the era in 2017 anymore, most projects have bad performance after the token sale ended, especially in their token price improvement. That makes bounty hunters be afraid and try to sell their tokens as fast as possible.

I totally support the OP statement but the naive bounty is also the reason bounty hunters are blamed for token price dump because they also believe the token sales done by bounty is enough to influence the price of new token whereas every exchange listed token should be expected dump in price after early traders receive their trading competition reward token.

It is clear that the
Bounty allocation is very small compared to the entire volume of the respective token into circulation. Finally the blame will be over the bounty hunters. However there are
platforms that perfectly schedule and let the tokens grow in value than facing decline once listed to Exchanges. When it comes to bounty Managers, in most cases they does what's been assigned to them. It is the value of the project and not the bounty hunters to be blamed.

Become a bounty hunter like becoming a slave. You don't have the right to be respected, and you must obey his words. This is a pain but I still do it, we all still do it.

You know the fact.. If you are rich people, you will not join in any bounty. Because you are poor, we are poor that's the reason we join it. And natural law that the poor have no right to speak

Bounty hunting is on a sad state right now because bounty hunting always got the blame whenever there is a dump, the latest is the YOUC project, where some people are blaming bounty hunters for the dump, if the project is good it will eventually recover it's price now YOUC is fast recovering it's price, the project is promising it's only a matter of time before it recover it's highest price.

It's true. If there is demand for than project the token's price will rise sooner or later even if bounty hunters are giving their coins for free on the market. I see to blame bounty hunters for deep dumps is just an excuse from frustrated people who invested in weak projects and can't admit the consequences of their own acts.
But I really think bounty hunters should raise their standards when promoting a token. The industry is so weak right now because there are people willing to work for coins that may worth nothing.

There's so much opportunity in bounty hunting and you don't need to degrade yourself and called it poor because we are not, we are rich in opportunities always remember this. If you want to be respected then you must work hard and stay humble, the pain of the bounty hunters are the scam project and the scam managers, the rest are normal to me. There's always a risk, if you always look down to yourself then it will be hard for you to grow, just keep on working mate and you'll have your time to shine soon.

Being a bounty hunter always hurts and I have received that in recent years we have worked hard but were not appreciated and it is like getting sharp thorns experiencing the worst things that have become things I experience every time there is a scam in the project that I follow When tired of following bounties that don't pay bounty hunters like me, we just give up because we can't do much, only karma will come to greedy people who don't want to pay bounty hunters.

[meanwords]

You're kind and supportive to the bounty hunters. But the project developers, they won't give you any attention if that's what you want.
All they care is about the advantage that they can get from people who will help them with the exposure of the project and gain a lot of investors.

Yes, that's why bounty campaigns managers will need to set a standard that would force hiring projects to comply. Like for example: escrow, rewards paid in BTC/ETH, if they do it this way, it will lessen the scams and at the same time will have a benefit for all people involve. At least some bounties are actually this examples now.

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 like this part of your post, the locking side, this has been going on for the last three years, for me it's a form of punishment for their promoters, because they fear that they are going to dump their coin/token which is just speculative, in the first place why not pay bounty hunters with trade able coin/token so they will not think of their going to get dumped.
And if their project has good potential it will not have problem recovering the price, this is just an old alibi from weak projects, they just want an escape goat.

[lienfaye]

Its not really fair for bounty hunters to be blame for the dump of the tokens. Just like what op said, the portion allocated for bounty is not huge to have a big impact to its price. But hunters are always the one who gets a negative image for this unfortunate situation.

They should know the fact first about the project on why the price dump easily. The team is responsible for this, they must have a concrete plan in order to prevent this from happening if the investors already sell their tokens.

[raidarksword]

I totally agree with you man because i have been bounty hunting 3 years from now and i have seen the best and the ugliest experiences ever treated to us bounty hunters wherein they looked down on us like beggars and putting names that we dumped the price of any projects we joined with. I agree with the small percentage of allocation how can hunters dumped it wherein many clever team locked tokens of participants, some will not pay much even worst than that hard works were not getting paid. It is very injustice and not fair that we were always being pointed fingers by the team wherein investors can also dumped the price and much worst team can do it too.
