IF ONLY BOUNTIES WILL KEEP THEIR PROMISES.

[BayAngelo]

IF only hunters would have known better that all promises made BEFORE Bounties kick off are fake, Lies and depict.
IF only hunters know that they are working just to promote projects that investors will dump on them and then comes back to blame the hunters that they are responsible.
IF only hunters would have known that the even the Bounty manger could be deceived.
IF only hunters would has known that they are wasting Huge time working on a project that willl later change the entire business structure including social media channels just to dismiss anything that have to do with them.
IF only hunters would has known all are empty promises between them, BM and project developers.
IF ONLY hunters would has known that 90% of the bounties they participated will Not consider them talk more of payment.
IF only hunters would have known that some of the bounties they are campaigning for Now was a dead project that declined payments hoping that they have made huge achievements but get dumped by investors only for them to run back to the same markets that made them famous.  

IF ONLY they know some of these FACTS about the projects they campaigned and many more to come....

Sad thing is, they do

Most of the hunters know these things, but like robots that they are, they register and do whatever comes along.
Do a small analysis, and you will see that there's 70% of the same people in ALL active bounties.

That's right, they just register to whatever comes along and follow it blindly. It's like hit and miss for them.

Why do they do it?
Poverty, boredom, chance of new bitcoin.

many projects or bounties commit cheating when the bounty is completed, I personally experience this often there is nothing  can do just only give up and accept it all until now this problem has no solution Escrow might be the way out of this problem, The bounty manager holds all prizes when the bounty is opened for the first time and of course the project owner cannot cheat on the bounty hunter anymore

[Jating]

I'm pretty sure that bounty hunters really know all this stuff, but they chooses to ignore and make a gamble of every bounty projects they join because they think that we are still in the 2017 boom wherein being a bounty hunter will give them huge amount of profits.

And now that we are in the bull run already, again, they are hoping for a repeat, but I guess it won't happen as we have seen projects keep failing in the end, and only a few are just benefiting from it. Like the people behind, the whales and pump and dump groups.

[cabron]

They know that a project  can be a scam because there isn't really a real product yet but all just a promise but participating to the bounty campaigns still is lucrative because some of the projects can unexpectedly become real and are very rewarding. There are many of these projects are actually paying good when the team come up with a semi unfinished product but token being listed on exchanges.

Many of the users didn't take the risk because more than 50% of the projects are scam. You're one of them if you prefer to chose the BTC paying campaigns.

[LogitechMouse]

For the sake of just a small money, they are willing to do everything.

2 things why they are doing it.
1. Trust - trust in the project and they are hoping that they will be paid after promoting the campaign
2. Hope - hope that these developers will pay the bounty hunters because they advertised their project in different ways.

Right now, success of bounty campaigns is very low and what I mean when I say successful is that they will be a successful project within the next 3-5 years. As a bounty hunter, there is nothing you can do but to try and try. If you get paid and get some few bucks then good for you but if you didn't paid, move on and find another project again. That is the life of a bounty hunter right now.

[asriloni]

it's valid especially for the social media campaign participants. As stated by someone above me and I'm sure if you can see someone who have participated in a social media campaign already applied to the all of campaigns.
So many social media participants just like bots or I could say if they were the bots.
I have been see so many times even the campaign has ended 1, 3 or even a half of year and there were still social media participants created reports. The risk is very high.

Promises are made to be broken and this known qoute can be fully applied to cryptocurrency specifically in an ICO projects. Well, we do not have choice but to carefully check the project and fully aware on the possibilities either joining in bounty or investing in an ICO projects. However, I am more confident in joining projects that are being promoted by known bounty manager especially if it pay real fiat currency or bitcoin. Unfortunately joining project which pays btc are only having limited slot and are only good for higher ranks with high earn merits or with reputable and trustworthy.

[Greatchu]

I'm pretty aware of the risks involved in promoting new projects as a bounty hunter, I am just a type who cherish any possibilities and hopes, it's better to have a hope on something that could possibly work out than not working on anything at all, apart from bounties every thing in this world requires trying again and again before it works out, nothing was never easy so bounties problem isn't a big deal for me anymore.

[cryptoaddictchie]

To avoid messed up like this. Don't ever participate on a shady campaign. Even me myself joined countless of these bounty and I can see based on the action of the BM if the project would pay or not their promise payment.

These what if should be realize by bounty participants themselves. Hope is sometime okay but begging for a project to compensate as like we are look beggars are not okay. I've had some unpaid campaigns also in the past and of course I cant force if the project totally abandon they promises. Just put a negative outlook on these people and warn others to avoid these managers if they run with them.

You can have more positive results and less bad results when promoting bounties by doing the following

1. Only promote projects from well rated bounty managers
2. Promote trading projects only
3. Go for Bitcoin paying campaigns or other popular crypto coins

It's not a must to promote bounties all the time, some people always think that it's normal to promote projects every time but they don't know that high quality projects won't be available every time

[Bitstar_coin]

It is not easy to know, if not many hunters will avoid some bounties because at the end they won't worth your time, I have participated in the Akoin bounty, till now we don't know what is the situation of the bounty, the bm has suddenly stop responding for so long, project is already listed on bittrex but bm is no where to be found, he refuse to publish the bounty spreadsheet, the signature lasted for 5 weeks but no single spreadsheet was published by the bm, very surprising and disturbing.

[BIT-BENDER]

 for bounty hunters to know this they have to work to rise above the settle for less dwellers, its just what it is, campaign, campaign manager picked you not perturbed about their knowledge, what they have been doing before selection, and the project that care-less are they project that would care-less for bounty hunters after campaign, nothing is stopping bounty hunters -especially those lets give the luck a go-

[Argoo]

Bounties doesn't make promises, they just give some value which is highly not possible to reach in the reality when it hits exchanges other than few exceptions and its just common so bounty hunters need to take some responsibility because they are investing their time to promote a project by making deep analysis before starts to promote any project.

Yes, we all know about these risks, but we have little choice.  Now it is very difficult to say in advance which project will be fraudulent, which one is simply unsuccessful, and which one will make a profit, therefore, many participate in the largest number of ICO bounty campaigns in the hope that at least some of them will make a profit.  Apparently, these people have a lot of free time, and active participation in the forum allows you to keep abreast of the events taking place in the world of cryptocurrency.

[The Cryptovator]

Do you think all bounty hunters have enough time to do their own diligence? Always we blame the managers if the project turned into a scam. But what is the role of hunters? They have been spreading the word about the project and that's how investors notice the project. So, hustlers have a responsibility to identify legit projects. Perhaps there are a few hunters who care about their time and research before promoting a project. But sadly, a big part of hunters doing nothing except spam on social media. They even don't care if they receive the tokens, I have experience with that. I fight for hunters but no one from hunters supports us.

Yes, they see this like a *free* lottery. They believe at least one or two of these campaigns will reward them a nice profit and I don't doubt some of them even think they can become rich by promoting the correct token.
Actually if all of them stopped enrolling in every campaign disponible the number of tokens being launched and the number of scams would probably decrease and the payrates of the legit campaigns would increase, as scarce labor supply forces employers to increase the rates.

coming from you a one time bounty manager. I suppose you should understand this well because you have also managed both Scam, legit and fake bounties. Many hunters take bounty hunting as a full time job because that is the only place they get their source of living and they will do anything to make sure they are always ready and participate in active bounties. Only few of them take time to even analyzed the bounties they have participated on. Ones they received their reward and trade it, life goes on. This is the reason why many regard hunters as dumpers. I honestly think bounty hunters too have a role to play in reducing chance of investors getting into scam project if they also analyzed project well before joining. I reported about a scam platform currently launching a bounty here on BTT https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5295510.0 but up till now, new hunters are still joining and promoting the scam 

[Spack17]

I think that the bounty hunters already know these things before applying for bounty campaigns. But most of them still don't care about them and continue to do so blindly. I assume that kind of people don't do bounty hunting as their main job. So, it will not be too much devastating for them.

[tycsols]

I have seen that most of the times the bounty hunters are exploited, abused and mishandled either by the project team or the bounty managers. I just wonder that when these people will become professional and give hunters the due respect that they deserve because they are the real crypto marketing and awareness workers that are inevitable for all kinds of new projects to send their message across the market.

thats right, a quality bounty campaign project will not come everytime, thats mean we should try to learn more about any campaign before we decide to join, wich mean we need to have enough knowledge about that my friend
