Pain of bounty hunters

[Towerbreeze]

blamed bounty hunters for the dumping of any coins is not reasonable for me
because not all bounty hunters will dump their rewards as soon as possible when the tokens tradeable on exchange
sometimes, the project didn't have enough demands to push the price up and make the price down because more sellers than buyers

Smart hunters won't hesitate to dump their tokens because most bounty projects are not reliable but when they promote quality projects they will want to hold, for example DiA project, some bounty hunters are still holding their tokens because the project isn't a joke

What makes DIA so serious? I'm not telling that it is a joke, but I cant understand why the price has not recovered to what is was months ago? I remember the price was around 3-4 us dollars before bounty distribution. Before distributing first part of rewards it has dropped to 1-1.3 us dollars and stays on this level for 2+ months. Since then, what has been announced? Stacking campaign on Binance and airdrop for holders?

I have experienced many things while hunting for bounty prizes, when I joined one of the bounty projects I supported it for almost two months and when the distribution of the project was a scam I was very disappointed.

lots of people here already experienced that kind of scenario, you are lucky enough that you just participated for 2 months, unlike me I experience joining bounty program for almost 5 months and in the end I got nothing. I also experienced that I joined for a couple of months but the reward is not that much.

2 Months?my first Bounty engagement lasts for 6 months meaning that is half a year mate.

But what happened?after reaching the HardCap?lol the team runs away and even the Bounty Manager did not receive His payments,thats why I stay away from bouties and focus here in Bitcoin paying bounties.

Well, there are still some good bounties though.

Of course there is and no discussion about that though the problem is we can Count it on our fingers,that is how rare good bounties now while scams are spreading the whole altcoin section with their different strategy and approach.

Anyway, I have also been used as a Bounty hunter before, and yeah I experience all of that, wherein all the effort I put in was only became in vain after some devs runaway all the funds.

Actually this is what bothers me when some Projects claims to be successful as they have reached the HardCap but after the bounty they will also gone lol.

Bitcoin paying bounties was really good however, it is very rare to find one though. I have one strategy on this one, I choose the bounty campaign where to participate depending on the manager who will manage it, if it is handled by a reputable one by then I will definitely join there simply because I don't see any reason to throw their image just for a couple of funds.

yups though comparing to bounty allocation Bitcoin paying campaign is smaller but at least the percentage of being scam is 1/1000 meaning safer and our work always has a value.

I have nothing to complain about in bounty hunting field anymore since the problems still remains and no solution so far, ive decide no to quit bounty even when the problems are still available, whatever happens i will still consider bounties unless 99% of bounties aren't paying anymore, we have too many bad artists in this space that's why Bounties results are very bad today

When talking about pain of bounty hunters, I sometimes get emotional, because there are so many projects that don't appreciate bounty hunters.
I am most annoyed if the rewards for bounty hunters are postponed or locked, with reason that the sales of tokens have not reached the hard cap.
That's the most annoying excuse in my opinion, but nowadays there are many bounty altcoins that make payments per week. As gambling campaigns
have done, this is good news for bounty hunters.

Only Amepay bounty is paying participants per week in altcoin section, the others are bitcoin paying campaigns and we all know that they accept participants with different rules like

1. If you have no 10 merit since 120 days ago don't join
2. If you haven't been posting in gambling section don't join
3. High ranked members allowed only, no room for members and full members some times

Before it was all about getting to the higher rank at a faster rate then you will be happy joining bounties that gives higher pay to users of higher rank. Now it is hard to level up with the merit system. You must have post that have value and people will give you merit thus propelling your account higher levels. I am not sure if that is still the case because this was implemented many years ago. With me being active in the forum everyday I think I should be at a higher level. But that is not the case.

In general, the main problems of Bounty Hunters are unpaid rewards or coins from junk or fraudulent projects in which the hunter took part. And it all boils down to the fact that the Bounty Hunter is not getting real pay for his labor. In addition, it must be admitted that even if you conduct a research project, this does not give one hundred percent guarantee that this project is promising and, accordingly, receive remuneration for your work, and there is no guarantee of the future value of this remuneration. Of course, there have been very few Bounty companies lately, but most of them, at least those to which I pay attention, may well be promising.
My advice, Follow reputable bounty managers.

Regarding the topic we can say that it's a very interesting subject to discuss but we must go back a little in the past to show some facts. In the last 4 months of 2017 the level of investors and large companies in the crypto has increased absurdly causing many hunters to work insanely (laughs) and I was one of them. However, the amount of account fraud on multiple accounts made many people rich because of the amount of reward they acquired. Another factor that we can analyze is the amount of spam and meaningless messages in the forum so Theymos the administrator of the forum together with the administrative team had the idea to create a system of merit ending once and for all all frauds and greed of the hunters. In season had seen people with 30 accounts and with that.


We see how far human greed goes.

[sapnu]

I totally agree with your arguments and suggestions. The golden years for bounty hunter were 2017-2018 then bounty hunter suffering starts and still continue as now the token kept for bounty is very low, The distribution is in batches or after a long period as recently one project Radix bounty ended and now token will be distributed after one year. There must be one platform to solve these problems for hunters.

Absolutely, that is why even if we are not depositing any amount of money and we are earning, we are exerting time and effort for us to make a profit by supporting particular projects at that time. It is one of the lessons that we can use until now that we should consider many things before supporting the particular project because it is indeed true that there are lots of projects out there that are good but still there are scam projects which intend to steal other people's money.

Bounty hunters work hard but they don't get their payments in maximum times. Team cheat with this marketing promotional parts after bounty ended. This is really very sad and they don't consider to be the part of the success of their project.

This is a history of abusers made the whole bounty campaigns hard now. Those who happily abused campaigns before finding it really hard to take advantage of the bounty campaigns now. The merit system is I think appropriate right for this forum so abusers can't continue to abuse campaigns. They might also abuse even bitcoin paid signature campaign by just registering multiple accounts. The trash post that abusers did before were reduced due to the merit system. This is healthy for the forum and the projects that are promoting here. I remember those days that obvious alt accounts are enrolling on a single campaign

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.

Thanks for your post, I agree with you on everything.
I stopped to take part in Bounty campaigns in 2019 for exactly these reasons.
I returned a month ago, the situation has not changed.
I'm afraid nothing will change.
Our forum is too passive.

[Doell]

yes agree your words see not all fake account that's right and of course there are those real account work really hard ,well still many bounty manager respect hunters and that's a very generous adult attitude in my view and it all depends on the attitude hunter too ,if he looks good and doesn't behave bad of course a manager will be more polite ,I think attitude is the most important in all area

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

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5219422.msg53662033#msg53662033

I do not know why some of the campaigns do not want to pay hunters and for that they sometime intentionally delay distribution or introduce new rules and other excuses. I mean if you cannot afford to pay the reward you can try other options and skip bounty campaign or you can lower the campaign budget but you should make sure that each and every hunter is paid for the work he has completed.

[Zanab247]

When others are receiving their benefit from the bounty campaign that ended for some months, and others are not receiving base on, they carry out the same bounty that make the manager to pay some and live some unpaid really hurt bounty hunter. It make them feel bad when they saw others be paid, where other be left unpaid in the exercise that just ended,
Some feel bad when you reduce their payment base on the way they carry out their campaign which the manager is not too satisfy with, can also make bounty hunter not to be happy.

[Strotman]

The distribution is in batches or after a long period as recently one project Radix bounty ended and now token will be distributed after one year. There must be one platform to solve these problems for hunters.

Well, the conditions for Radix were known initially, and each of the bounty hunters had the right to decide to participate in the project or pass it by. In other words by joining we took these risks on ourselves))

[J1mb0]

Escrow can lessen bounty hunters pain but still the risks is still there, many projects won't become successful due to lack of funds, some won't see good adoption or demand and the token or coin will lose value fast, bounty hunters might end up selling for pennies, you need to consider all risks before joining any bounty project

Escrow may be safe for bounty hunters but it all depends on the performance of the project itself. It's useless if we receive bounty tokens but the tokens are never traded on the exchange and it's the same we don't get paid for the results of the campaign

Yes, if a project fails, then they would only pay the bounty hunter a heap of trash.
Until now the bounty hunter still depends on the project and its success. The bounty hunter will need two prayers, the first they pray for the project to be successful and the second they pray for the development team to pay.

[MCDev]

When team do not paid hunter token then we have to fell how much pain work. Although this year i have participate many bounty but just few bounty paid my reward and others already death. However i should leave bounty work soon because i want return my own job in my country but everyday free time i will make trading.

I think everyone should consider bounty hunter work as a side job and get it done in their spare time.
You should have a major job outside of your life enough to pay your bills, don't expect too much on bonus programs.

[ekeh]

Not every bounty hunter that dumped the coin and I'm not in support of that, because they are set of that invest on the project, through bounty information, sell at a lower rate, which affect the market or regret later in life.

[JahriMeayer]

Its really sad when thousands of hardworking bounty hunters work hard for any project, make an vital role for gather investors and contribute a lot during tokensale but therefore they get neglected.they won't be rewarded for their work, even team start distribution when the project already lost the liquidity!even then they blame hunters responsible for their dead project when its not possible to kill any project by using 1% of that project

[Marma Kalari]

With me being active in the forum everyday I think I should be at a higher level. But that is not the case.

If you are looking for bounties then ranking is a big aspect and with the new system it will weed out all the spam and it is a rather good system and if you are able to spend good time then you are most likely to be getting merits to get ranked.

Bounty hunters work hard but they don't get their payments in maximum times. Team cheat with this marketing promotional parts after bounty ended. This is really very sad and they don't consider to be the part of the success of their project.

Looks like writing a few words and sharing things in social media is the hardest job in the world  . Cheating by campaign managers and scammers is another topic altogether but i will laugh when someone says hard job.
