Pain of bounty hunters

[Adreman23]

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.

If the project is good, the price will surely recover, doesn't matter if bounty hunters or any people are the reason of price dump, they should  be thankful because they can buy  cheap token or coin.

 But in reality bounty hunters have the right to sell their coins/token because they work hard for it so they should not be blamed if the price falls.

I totally agree with what OP had said. Most of the time bounty hunters are blamed for why projects die, but the truth is bounty hunters are the ones who promoted and exposed the project which helped during the pre-sale. They are always blamed, most of the time they are paid lower or even none for their hard work. Bounty hunting is a gamble since there is no assurance if your effort will be rewarded justly by the end of the campaign.

Nowadays bounty hunters are running with huge pain and frustration because of the very few bounties coming and if coming they are cheating in the way of low reward or not giving at all.

It really makes you furious after all the work you`ve done in the bounty they will just say "The bounty has been cancelled" or "Delayed checking and distribution" I mean I never missed of late to submit my bounty works and I am sure I am not the only and they always said such excuse without compensating. Such a time risk joining bounty without assurance.

People think that bounty hunters doesn't face any kind of risks but the truth is they are facing a big risks and that risks are about not receiving the right reward that should give to them . Imagine you are participating in bounty for months then suddenly they didn't pay you because they said that it needed to unlock for 2 more years. The hardwork that you did will become to waste where your inner self telling you that you shouldn't join in that project because you waste a lot of time.  I also became a bounty hunter in the year 2017, and I also experienced to participate in projects that didn't pay me very well.

Actually what bounty hunters feel hurt, is not just not getting paid, but there are many examples.

1. Get payment but the token is not listed on the exchange
2. accused of destroying the market price
3. the work is not appreciated
4. projects always put investors first over bounty hunters

Of course all projects are not like that, but there are some projects that humiliate bounty hunters and always scapegoat bounty hunters, obviously this would be a disappointment to bounty hunters, and I learned a lot to see which projects were quality or not, which were rewarding and which were no, because I know that all projects are not all the same, even different, maybe my hope in the future is only one hope that at the end or at the beginning of the year all new projects can appreciate the work of the bounty hunters in the future, so that no one will be harmed mentally and inner...

Hate it or love it, the choice is yours, if you can't withstand the pains from promoting bounty projects you have every right to quit, it won't cost a thing, if you don't have the whatever it takes mindset you will end up giving up because bounty is full of disappointments but some times it's surprisingly good too.

[Argoo]

I'm used to it, as a bounty hunter always blamed when the price drops, and in the end the tokens / coins I get are worthless. But it's still better than a project that delays distribution for a long time and when the token will be distributed suddenly we are required to KYC.

But it can't be helped, because there are no rules governing it so we can't do anything but be more careful in choosing projects. 

Recently, at least they have stopped deceiving bounty hunters, demanding to suddenly and in a short time pass KYC already some time after the end of the ICO.  There are still many problems with bounty hunters, and one of them is, of course, getting tokens even when their price on the exchange fell to the price of gas for their movement to the exchange.  If the price recovers even a little after a certain time, it is still bearable.  However, in many cases, the price no longer rises and we only have useless tokens.

They make up their own rules and policy to handle the bounty hunter. If they want to maintain their reputation and credibility as a new project, they should be more careful in keeping their promises. The injustice they do to their promoters will have a major impact on public trust.

if the project is indeed a scammer, then they have ignored the public's trust,
there are many bounty programs that don't pay, like Kingcasino, Envion etc.,
and look at the project now, it's dead.

The pain of grace hunters is actually a lot more but not all projects are bad it turns out that a lot of bad is a good but in most cases bounty projects are scammed many managers do not give tokens when they finish working again even if many people give them they are not in the market. Due to not giving the right price it's really painful i also did a lot of bounty but didn't get the right price with the rise of the crypto market many good projects are underway.

[Squezzi55]

Not all bounty hunters deserves bounty manager's respect because many bounty hunters are so annoying and ungrateful too, the great bubbalex decide to quit managing bounties because of how bounty hunters treated him in his last bounty campaign (DIA), bounty hunters need to show some love to BMs too

[Inkdatar]

You have a point, you feel the bounty participants experienced when they misjudge and blame about the project output. I have read other statement blaming the participants project failures and dump price when it's listed in the exchange. Both managers and participants did their effort to promote it so others should do analyze the situation. And to the participants, it is a must that we should always have to search before we did our part on joining the project.

[pilosopotasyo]

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

That should be the case, they are launching bounty campaign because they want to get promoted and they want people to now about their project, so if the project get funded if they did not reach their hard cap at least the bounty hunters have their job.
The project that will not honor their words will not get respect from investors, investors and bounty are actually one they also invest money to support this project.

[lixer]

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

The respect aspect can be achieved as far the hunters are willing to respect themselves to command respect to themselves. But when you say they shouldn't be judge that can't be made possible. Judgement is needed in their line of business as those judgements are what makes them better in promoting the project they have enrolled to promote. You don't expect a manager seeing things not be done right and don't expect immediate judgement on that users and possibly correct him.

I fully agree with the initial statement that bounty hunters need to respect themselves first. There should be some common understanding between bounty hunters such that they won't join any bounty campaign without certain promises.

1) The bounty campaign must hire a professional manager and hunters should abandon project that don't respect this point.
2) The tokens must be deposited to the manager and he will then send to the hunters.
3) Any participant who is cheating must be banned but the ones who are working hard should not be touched or harassed.

Bounty hunters have to unite and show the power together because as long as they only think about themselves the whole bounty hunters community will struggle.

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 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

Excellent post ...

I believe that we all deserve to be paid fairly for our efforts and time.

I think there are some reward managers who start to pay with Fiat.

This would be better for everyone ...

Very well said dude, I support you on this statement of yours. I'm glad that there is someone like you who support the bounty hunters about some of the BM who manage projects campaign, but in some other way there the majority of the BM actually, are not the same as you have concern with the bounty hunters. Most of them really, really don't care about the feelings of the bounty hunters, for them money is the only matters that's the reality, real talk only.

[drlukacs]

No one will understand the pain of the employee except us. we worked hard every month just hoping to receive the token and sell it to pay our living expenses but were treated unfairly and even scammed.
I think this is the time when bounty hunters should open up here and make demands to protect the interests of Bounty hunters. Moderators will review and sometimes they will act for us if our arguments are correct.
I am first, I hope that the Moderators at Bitcointalk will be more strict with those who open the topic in the Bounties section. especially get them to deposit the rewards before the real campaign starts!

[iTradeChips]

Well, many of us bounty hunters have experienced so many wrongdoings from the companies and the projects. Yet we just move on and try to find other profitable. At the start you have all the energy to do many things, try to do its many forms, translations, signature, facebook and twitter. You do so many failed attempts, many headaches, but we just move on.

[bussybuddy]

Bad and good are always mixed everywhere, so arguing and blaming parties is really unnecessary, what i wish is that in the bounty space there are more projects, and with the experience of Over the past time i believe in choosing BM or a project to start working with. What you went through i have also encountered, but i think it will be difficult to solve because as you see it is not easy at all, so you decide to work on the project and accept the rule to join right away. From the outset will be required by BM from the start to participate.
