Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[Janation]

This is much easier in the past.

I am not saying about what we are doing because it is still the same in the past. What I am saying is identifying a great project and also, most of that cryptocurrencies right now are so popular or successful. These days, there is a lot of competition so you never know which is which. Also, there are these scam projects that go around.

[Slow death]

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.

the worst part is to hear the following argument: "we can't pay the Bounty hunters because that could create a dump of the coin..." and then months go by and they make the same argument again to the point of making the Bounty hunters  frustrated . are pitiful and shameful things that you see in this cryptocurrency market. it seems to me that the only way to be fair is on the day that this market will be regulated

[lienfaye]

This scenario can be prevented if every bounty hunters are taking time to do their own research about the project before deciding to participate. Although we cant totally take away the risk of not getting paid or fooled by dev for not paying the hunters even the project succeed, somehow we can minimize the chance of ending up in scam or shitty projects.

It might not easy to find a good project especially nowadays that only few are genuine but its our responsibility to dig deeper in order to spot a worthy project to advertise.

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.

I don't want to Blame anyone , either the Hunters being victimized or they intended to be a victim because for how many years now that scams are rampantly happening in side Bounty section yet there are still many of them are willing to participate so what we can call them ? a "Willing Victim"?
i know this is hard and frustrating but that is the reality , when you already know something that may happen soon but you are continuing to do.

There is nothing to be done about it, because cryptocurrency companies that conduct bounties knows that if something will go wrong, then bounty hunters will not be able to do anything, and therefore a lot of cryptocurrency companies that conduct bounties deceive bounty hunters and it is very difficult to deal with this, therefore, you need to get used to it and try to study each bounty project in which you want to participate in as much detail as possible.

The hardest thing is not giving you your rewards when you deserved them because they think that you will dump your rewards, in the first place it's none of their business, if they do not want to dump their token better pay their bounty hunters with Bitcoin or other tradeable coins, they worked hard on their shares, these developers can be considered as scammers, they scam bounty hunters they will do the same with investors.

Apparently, most projects look so promising which makes us undecided or even not sure if the project is truly promising till the end.

A lot of bounty hunters wasting their time doing this, crying for not being paid. As the market keeps growing many projects have been created almost every day but only a few of them succeed, which means that majority did not, and of course, the majority of these projects give nothing to their promoters, even the Bounty manager can't escape from this.

[silverston]

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

It has always been that way. as a rule, people who are engaged in bounty projects know that in 9 out of 10 projects they will not earn anything. but 1 in 10 can bring them a lot of profit and it's impossible to guess which one. Luck plays a role here, as well as the skill to select and find good projects.

It is like repeating the situation in 2017 when the market experienced quite good growth. more and more new projects are growing and offering new ideas or interesting developments. but we ended up seeing so many projects that were just ideas without the reality of the products developing on the market. which clearly makes regret even though we are waiting for the results of the bounty payment that we get, it turns out that it doesn't give us anything for us to enjoy.
looks like this year will be like that too. we must be wiser in choosing projects to promote it.

And that is the sad truth. Personally, I've used to participate in bounty campaigns a lot way back in 2017 and I'd say that the rewards at that time were absolutely worth but right now only a few of them are able to provide a decent amount because most of the campaigns now are likely a scam. The odds of getting a worth bounty campaign right now is very low and it is hard for them to spot, you need to scrutinize every each of them for you to tell if they are good or not. And that is one of the reasons why I don't pay attention much to the bounty campaign, it's better to work hard on your account so that you could participate in signature campaigns, I'd say they are really worth your time.

[bonjouros]

It only means that being a bounty hunter is not an easy job as it will take your time and effort without knowing if how much you will get at the end. And what is worst as there are campaigns that will easily change their terms in their favor and the bounty hunters will be in vain.

So as a fellow bounty hunter, it will be better that we should be wise also on what project to support and to join so we will not end up getting upset in the end. Take time to do some background research before you will join any bounty campaign and other bounty hunters are asking for an escrow to the rewards in order to eliminate this kind of happenings but until now there are very few projects who are willing to escrow their bounty rewards.

[Princejebs]

Gone are those days when you can easily make a $100 of dollars promoting a single project with Ethereum small fee, life was not perfect but I was happy with the situation of bounty even though sometimes, we end up promoting scam projects but the encouragement is always there and there is ginger to promote the next promising one.
Today is just different, Ethereum network is just not for me that's why I have decided to join projects that aren't hosted in another blockchain or preferably tron network.
Sending $20 to an exchange for $10 fee is not feasible for me.

[CuriousGeorge]

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.

It's still a gambling dude however you are getting the legit project and it doesn't mean that will give guarantee for your payment.
I remember there are lots of legit project that refuse to pay the reward like token pay and many more.
These garbage projects raised a lot of money but they refuse to pay a very small amounts of tokens to the hunters
You luck will determine how success you are. Your effort will play less than your luck.

[Cling18]

That's already a part of a bounty hunter's life and to be honest, we're used to it. It's just a good thing that there are still promising projects these days that value the bounty hunters' effort to promote and advertise their projects.
It's just unfortunate that we can't get rid of projects that don't pay their participants accordingly but it's still our responsibility to do a series of research first before joining because joining bounty campaigns has a big risk.

[BlackRexuz]

Actually bounty hunters are quite helping Cryptocurrency growth by helping to promote new projects for the growth of Cryptocurrency, indeed at this time bounty hunters do not get anything from their work, because we know that all projects are based on Ethereum which at the moment the gas costs are quite high. , that's why all payments are delayed, so we won't know in the future. Hopefully there is a solution for bounty hunters' payments ..

[Onika84]

For almost 2 years, I feel that the bounty is progressively decreasing, from the perspective of project quality, income earned, and unclear distribution. I am grateful that I still have income that I earned from the bounty, in 2017.

[uneng]

Lol, just stop working for these projects until their standards change and reward bounty hunters decently for their work.
Bounty hunter activity isn't a gambling game where you click a roll button and are rewarded over your initial bet in milliseconds, but a marketing job which demands time and effort from your side to promote it through different platforms with personal content you have to create by yourself to promote the project. And it takes days, weeks or months until you finish the tasks in order to be paid. What makes totally useless and frustrating to see in the end you are going to earn 1$ or less, as OP said... But it will never change because there is abundant labor force willing to do this even for free.

[oemar bakrie]

I think all projects are not like four  years ago, many bounty hunters are very easy to get or choose a good project and are always in a safe point when completing their assignments..
and vice versa at this time, I am a little surprised whether because of the widespread public view of crypto and the various ways those with bad intentions fool bounty hunters by showing a good design in every project that will be followed..

Have you reported these kind of team? What's their reasoning of not giving you the appropriate and deserving reward?
I know that there are many bounty scams, but are you sure that they didn't really set a time to distribute the tokens/coins?
Bounty hunting in this forum shouldn't be taken like full-time anyway, since these kinds of issues happen a lot,judging from the complaints in threads I managed to stumble upon quite often.

[xiboothrezi]

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

Several times I participated in bounties from projects that were quite successful in achieving their sales targets but did not pay bounty hunters fairly. Most recently, one of the projects (I keep it a secret) plans to distribute rewards every 6 months with a percentage of 20%, meaning that it will take 2.5 years for the rewards to be distributed, of course, the bounty hunters object and protest. After a few days later due to intense pressure due to injustice, the project team decided to change the rules and would finish it in 10 months (10% per month).

As a bounty hunter, we must be ready to accept such risks, even a quality project does not necessarily treat hunters fairly, even seems to underestimate. I don't know, even though we have given the best support, and the project team has allocated funds for promotion through bounties, but there is always drama.
