The Broken Promise For The Hunters

[Ehrakeziah]

Bounty hunters are those who enthusiastically join a campaign to promote a specific project to earn only a small amount of money from crypto.

But unfortunately, many project if not failed, they just give promises to the hunters to pay for their hard works after a couple of months which is still good to the part of the hunters and can do nothing but wait for the exact date that the project has promised.

Unfortunately, when the exact date comes, the project still refuses to send the reward for the hunters for the reason that they need to change their website and not keeping their promise. Anyway the website has nothing to do with the distribution of rewards, right? They promised to distribute rewards for ETH addresses, but not for accounts on the website.

This is very disappointing in the part of the bounty hunters, but what the hunters can do? Still nothing, but always hope and wait.

I believe a great project will be successful if they have a good marketing strategy with the full support of their team. The reward they provide for hunters is only a small percentage to promote their project. That is why I think they should give what is for the hunters, whether their project is successful or not.
Although hunters also wish the project success, of course.

What do you think guys, I am right or not?

IMO, those times of consecutive successful projects were already gone.
Before it's like 5/10 of projects will surely continue on even by just reaching the softcap.
But since scam attempts happened and they had successfully snatched money from investors it changed.

It's like investors had been traumatized and could be the reason most of the projects even the legitimate ones cannot continue.
They need funds, but where will they receive them? We can say it's like a domino effect.

[bittick]

that's indeed those scammers have been using various tricks to avoid their responsibility to deliver their promises to the hunters. So many times hunters were getting fooled by the scammer.
That's why any hunters must have done deep research to the project. The legit project will never try to do that.
I wanna say it's not all of the projects are scam but the majority of projects just wanna be money-grabber only.

[tsaroz]

There are several reasons why the bounty hunters are not rewarded for their effort and non willingness of the project is a rare one.
Many of the projects are just scams, it don't matter if they give you their token or not. Some fail to raise the minimum cap, the token would be useless again. Next is the failure of the project, even thought they get through, they fail to add value to the token so it's either never listed or crashes on listing. If everything's okay with the project and is legit, I have rarely heard bounty participants complaining about the project not providing the promised quantity.

I think the whole thing boils down to the fact that most projects and their teams don't truly value hunters. They see the rewards they pay to hunters as doing hunters a huge favour rather than paying for the services these hunters did. Until hunters begin to command respect I don't see that mentality of BMs and project teams changing anytime soon. Hunters should be more selective of bounties they promote too. Make sure they're escrowed or are run by credible bounty managers.

Nope, I don't believe bounty hunters should feel helpless whenever such a sad situation of reneging to reward hunters arises. They should open a thread on reputation and drag out the project and the bounty manager. I know this isn't an easy thing to do as some BMs may become retaliatory once they're called out instead of appeasing the hunters or ameliorating the situation. I have had such an experience with one of the BMs here too.

Well bounty hunters only have to learn lessons and adjust their bounty hunting skills, join campaigns from popular bounty managers and also promote listed or trading tokens too, go for quality projects because they always plan to protect their reputations

I think hunters can still have something to do to get the management of of such bounty to look back and decide to be proper to promise. Something as negative marketing or advising can happen. And some members have big Twitter accounts that the general cryptocurrency followers do follow, so the management can have another change of heart, I guess so.

This of course is different when the bounty manager is very strict and have the funds for the marketing campaign. It's escrowed and ready to.be.given anytime soon after the bounty ends. Suddenly I am having a hard time finding one of those campaigns, most of the funds are with team themselves leaving bounty hunters on an edge. Only time can decide, I have been is so many bounty and I have lost count of the projects that failed me, so it doesn't matter anymore for me, I think I got sick and tired, moving on after the bounty ends, as I am waiting for the payment I am currently on a different one. That way it will be a surprise for you, just be patient.

Promoting different type of projects is dealing with different type of people, some will be good and some won't so we can't keep getting good end results from all bounty campaigns, the most important thing to do as a bounty hunter is do choose projects wisely

Choosing projects wisely is actually the most difficult to do. I have tried several times promoting a project but end up unpaid because the project was a scam. If you are like me who  just wanted to see project gets  develop and curious how they may go about it,  you will be disappointed too. I sometimes talk to the team and  discuss with them about regarding the developments which they say its getting good.

I sometimes are just surprise how  it turned out because the prices are dumped while you go all in sending some ETH.

Unfortunately, it seems like most projects do try to exploit, abuse and confuse bounty hunters by changing their stance often. I do know of some projects whose campaigns ended over 6 months ago but still they have not distributed anything to hunters, it is strange to see that these projects are working and their tokens are trading but still they find excuses to not pay hunters timely. This attitude must be stopped and teams should be responsible about it.

[disconnectme]

There are many people at fault here, the first is the bounty manager, some of them do not know what they are doing and get hunters into trouble, second is the hunters themselves, some of them behave as if they do not have any hope apart from the tokens from the bounty and add no value to the project they are suppose to be promoting. and last the is team themselves, some of these team member are born scammers, they do not have intention of paying any tokens in the first place and is difficult to determine this

[hannahB4]

I have  really had the case of much disappointment with Bounty though I have my own share with it. My own scenario is paying lesser than what  I actually worked for, I was into a bounty with the whole of my being I did the task for each week and at the end of this particular campaign I was paid for only a week this got on my nerve but when you think of other good project you have actually participated in this get you moving.

[tabas]

This is very common in distributing rewards. That is the main reason why you need to have a good manager with good reputation that can secure yourself with the rewards going to be distributed at the end of the bounty. Good managers will help you to have a lesser doubt with the projects you join in their bounty because they also have to maintain themselves an assurance that they can keep up a promise that a project they are managing. You're right that they should give it to you because you've worked for it and even if the project is not successful, they should give you some thoughts why it didn't go as promised.

[BitcoinPanther]

When someone is bounty hunting, he should be ready for the worst scenario.  It is not new that many project don't pay Bounty hunters, ever since 2018, many projects are not paying bounty hunters, those that do not meet their softcap and those that are really a scam project.  So I think, as a bounty hunter we should really do our homework to research on the bounty campaign that we wanted to join.  See if the one managing the campaign is responsible enough to be the voice of the bounty hunters.

[jrrsparkles]

Bounty hunting becomes worthless in 2020, hardly anyone is making money from tokens which are yet to be listed still we can see lot of campaigns launched everyday in the bounty sections which means there are members who still promoting them when they are not receiving anything, so who need to be changed now?

[samcrypto]

This is the problem since the peak of ICO and I think bounty hunters should already know how to deal with this one and accept the fact that on your 10 projects, 6 of them will be failed or the worst case scenario all of them will fail. The risk for the hunters are always there, not unless you join a BTC paying signature then you’ll be good on that.

[iTradeChips]

Bounty hunting was good 3 years ago, when there are many projects willing to pay huge amounts of their tokens or coins and at the same time these coins are not worthless. Many bounty hunters are no longer earning that much right now and many just simply quit altogether.
Because of this problem with the bounty hunters, and their frustration with getting projects they can market and all, sometimes I wonder if the forum management would actually allow users to use 2 signatures instead of one. That way it will be advantagaeous for the bounty hunter to join multiple projects and 2 signature campaigns for that matter. It is really something that we can be grateful for and having 2 signature campaigns will definitely gives us much more momentum and motivation.

Gone are the days where we do see that there still some considerable projects that do able to succeed even though in 2017 50/50 chance
but still it is really worth for the time and effort been spent on this one.So don't expect that those things do still exist as of todays
bounties because finding one to be profitable is nearly impossible for this time.Dont expect much to get paid and if get paid
then don't expect for it to get listed.This is why I turned my back to bounty hunting due to this reason.

[Princejebs]

It's so embarrassing how hunters are been treated like piece of trash, I frown most of the time when hunters are treated in such manner but what can we do, move on when the system cheated on you.
There is one that just happened today, most hunters would be familiar with Markaccy project, it was promoted on this forum sometimes around September, distribution was scheduled to take place today only for the CEO to come up with lame excuses that there website was down. I was astonished by their foolishness and failure.
I was wondering what distribution has to do with website.
