Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[thesmallgod]

I look backward and see a lot of challenge facing bounty hunters and I can only see that things will get harder. The mental stress of looking for the right bounty to promote, waking up in the middle of the night for several hours to complete tasks for months just to realized you won't get $1 for all your time.

It is another scenario when you discover that the project you promoted is doing great at the exchange market but you realized the team are refusing to give the reward of your labour or change the rules regarding the campaign just to make it hard for you to get your reward.

I think most of this project team see hunters as being toothless because they know the worst you can do cannot affect their project. They name you different names just to make you look like a fool in the eyes of investors.

Until there is a way to deal honorably with these team, hunters will continue to suffer

That explains what bounty hunting really is, if it's a stable way of making money it should be called something else not bounty hunting, the word hunting means you have to thrive to kill a game or hit some valuable assets in the ground, it's never going to be a straight road judging from the name

[Kunnu]

Your point of view is reasonable, I have participated in lot of bounties from the last couple of years but only few of them were worthy and mostly of them ended up with nothing so I have changed my way to participate in bounties now I always find those bounties in which bounty reward is escrowed.

[Murpheus]

I share in the pain.....
Tho its just been 3 months since I started taking part in it.... sometimes the bounty manager should play a role in checking up the project in question... until now its only one bounty manager I really trust, there are more I know ( you can even help recommend some)....
BOUNTY DETECTIVE (I dunno how to mention someone, bear with me) always make sure to do a back check....

I have done bounties for projects from other managers, thats ended.. and up till now I haven't heard anything on the thread.... its really discouraging, considering I really put in the effort!

[mohsing]

Bounty hunters are the oppressed class of the crypto world.They work hard and got few tokens having less value.Most bounties ran away without giving any penny.Now the charm in Bounty has finished.

They name you different names just to make you look like a fool in the eyes of investors.

What are you talking about, speak clearly, don't be afraid to reveal something that is detrimental to many people in this forum.

Are you talking about Bounty managers who don't pay for participants or the company, managers cheat on Bounty participants, who suffer.

OP.
If you have valid evidence of your complaint, Reputation places it for your complaint.
If you have anything that leads to fraud from the Bounty campaign, Make allegations about it at Reputation to let people know about your complaint, bounty, which manager is scamming.

Or you present the evidence here, I will take action against them in Reputation, so that you do not suffer.

I know that dude lol i guess when the bounty is not even using escrow as the party who can ensure the payment is safe and the hunters will be always in the worst position.
That being said when you are using escrow and anything will be guaranteed. The bounty hunters just need the team to escrow the funds to the manager.
The bounty detective has been doing it and it can decrease the risk that will be received by the hunters.

We all know it is not a stable source of income and my post didn't state it either. It is bounty hunting with rules. Rules that are not made by the hunters but the team. It obvious that is the reason why some hunters call some project scam when they don't get pay because they don't follow the rules. Someone has talked about escrow which I think it is a great idea only if all the managers will accept to be doing that, however I'm looking toward to seen a workable solution thorough which hunters get fair reward of their  hard work especially when the project is successful

thank you for introducing that term "escrow"
exactly what I was saying.... Bounty detective always got us covered....... I don't mind if its just one bounty I participate ina a whole year , as long as he's the source....

Escrow doesn't change anything, I haven't joined any bounty campaign before that's escrowed, those days when I still join two bounties from bounty detective they don't really care about using escrow but the issue is escrow still don't safe you from scam projects, they raise their funds and exit the market and your escrowed tokens becomes useless either ways

Its all a risk anyways.... and like the person above commented.... its not a stable source of income.... at least when I started it I thought I would be "living off it" but its not that easy... nowadays I just do them for the fun... and to explore my skill as a blogger....

I do make living out of crypto though but not entirely focus on bounties, I have my mining farm and I'm also a trader too, I find my mining to be more effective and live saving because electricity costs is very cheap in my country, don't rely on bounties, they don't always work out

To be honest, the tasks you have to do are only promotional for the project. The projects don't get any real use from it, other than a little attention. In the past, when every project was pumped, bounties for such tasks were perfectly profitable, but the days are over. Really serious projects today have to submit to regulation and only distribute a small part of the tokens via bounties for free, so you only get a few cents or dollars out of it. In addition, the market is now flooded with bounty hunters from many poorer countries. That is why you should specialize and stand out from the crowd, e.g. by doing translations or otherwise working on a project. This increases the chance to get big bounties enormously.

If we will choose the right project, we will not suffer.

Its a tough task for us to find good projects but we should still do that as we don't want to waste our time promoting a project that will still not succeed.
There are good projects with small reward, I think we should choose them as they ensure a higher percentage of success.

Time will come that bounty hunting will be great again, but this time, we have to be patient.

Since 2019 only Stobox team have shown some real appreciation towards bounty hunters for Helping them., yes you heard me right, this team feels helped for talking and sharing awareness about their projects on social media and on this forum, they even instantly pay bounty hunters but the appreciation was noticed that I said to myself, if every project team can be like STOBOX team bounties will worth more

I support, bounty hunters sometimes resemble robots that do the same job every day and sometimes annually.
You yourself create inconveniences for yourself. Who makes you participate in the bounty, the outcome of which is obvious? If you do not initially check all the red flags that promise you deception, there is no one to blame for the fraud.
Bounty is a niche where there are very few normal projects. And it's not for me to teach you, you know all this better than me.
There is only one way out. If you stop participating in all bounty campaigns in a row and demand an escrow before you start promoting, perhaps this will somehow prevent your future disappointments.

I feel you because I was also experienced that from the project called DigitalBits they don't pay its participants and the worst part was they have our data from the KYC they invented accusation against us participants to justify their purpose on not paying us they owed us a 28 Million XDB tokens and they are proud of it. they have a scam accusation thread but only a few high-ranking members of the BitcoinTalk forum were Tag them. Thats why nowadays I'm not joining any more in the bounties that have no guaranteed payment or escrow payment just like the Bounty Detective has done.

That's what almost of us have been struggling to in past 3 years. Before 2018, it was really pleasant to actually working on bounty campaigns where almost all of the campaigns were almost legit and they paid what we supposed to get. And what is the result then? Almost all of the projects that paid us are successful until know. Look at Monaco and LUNYR these are my favorite coins on that era.

It is another scenario when you discover that the project you promoted is doing great at the exchange market but you realized the team are refusing to give the reward of your labour or change the rules regarding the campaign just to make it hard for you to get your reward.

Either they have no budget to pay us or just make an empty scam ass projects to lure the projects for some easy advertisements on this entire forum.

To be precise, same roadmaps, same teams, same scheme etc. People should have recognized this long ass time ago.

So it's like the hunters trying their luck, but doing research it won't be like gambling at least they get a snapshot of the project they're promoting.
but most hunters don't do that and just join every project without do research first.

That's true, and that is the reason why projects are always eager to run because they know they can use the bounty hunters to fool the investors. When a project resulted to a scam, it doesn't look good to the reputation of the bounty hunters as they become the accessories of the crime for promoting the project, and though we have some good bounty hunters who really study the project before they promote, but because of the majority are not doing that, it has ruined the reputation of the bounty hunters in general.

Feels the disappointments when are seriously doing our task, promoting something but never paid off. Every bounty hunters experience the same but wondering why they are still joining bounties even they know that possibly they won't receive any from the company. I don't know if there are tired of doing this or they never find another way to make money in here.

There is no realization happening around, if they don't give up participating bounties, they will still become a victim to a no-pay campaign (again and again). It might be the time to open up our minds and stop doing this.
