Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[Argoo]

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

In my opinion, a year or two ago it was even more difficult. Nowadays, bounty hunters are no longer faced with KYC checks, which the ICO team could suddenly introduce after the bounty hunters' work was finished. In order not to accidentally miss such a check, we had to periodically look through the telegram groups in which we previously participated in the bounty companies. In turn, ICO teams often tried to create obstacles in the passage of KYC in order not to pay the earned tokens. Nowadays the problems for bounty hunters are much less. Everything is relative.

in fact doing the bounty hunter is more difficult than you might think, the earnings are no longer the same as before, now you write a lot of posts for a few dollars, and often you don't even get paid / rewarded, but basically it's all part of the game they are called bounty for this

[aemma]

The team always have the upper hand in all these, thus the reason bounty hunters are facing a lot. Once the bounty ends, excuses will keep coming up, and in many cases they might even slash the reward without any tangible reasons, they can also implement rules which was not there from the onset just to reduce the number of people that will get the reward, and if bounty hunters complains too much, they will be reminded of the rules which states that the team and the bounty manger can change the rules and of course they always change it to their own favour.
Nevertheless, there will always be a good team which will appreciate the work and always pay when its time, but they are always few, hence we only have to look harder.

Participation in bounty programs. most of them assume that you will receive mountains of gold from the project if you help the project in its development - it will become more popular and you will get your own share.

But, not always everything is as sweet as you already said, most projects do not pay honestly earned money for the work done to bounty hunters, how to deal with this?

It is in no way impossible to fight this, this has been and will be all the time, you need to carefully approach the search for a worthy project to participate in its development (Bounty), having familiarized yourself with the project, you can already understand whether you should participate in the bounty there or not.

The only way we can deal with these scumbag honorably is through managers, enforcing some self made rules in this regard will yield result, example: if a bounty manager can't escrow bounty rewards then no bounty hunter should visit such campaign for any reason. In light of this, the project team won't play hard on hunters rewards becasue the reward were secure before the campaign kick-off.

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.

This is the right thing to do "If" you think you're getting cheated on in terms of reward distribution. There's a right board to post this accusations.
Though there were also abusive bounty hunters that only spam all over the forum just to get the reward, and these people might be the reason why some of the managers or the team behind it disqualified them or reduce the reward. This is Case to case basis.
Now, that you're aware about this situation. You could either save a screenshot of the rules or never participate again.

[CapGelatik]

yes I feel it all and it really hurts when they at the end of the campaign change a lot of rules even some projects actually refuse to pay. In fact the safest is to join a bounty that uses an escrow service

That should be our collective agreement as bounty hunters, then there will be no more reasons for any project refusal to pay rewards to their respective bounty hunters. Most of my bounties i recently joined where those that were actually escrowed and the rewards distributed equally after the promotion.

It is very rare to see a bounty with escrow, many bounty programs without escrow, but they use the best bounty manager,
yes and that is quite helpful, there is only one bounty manager that I know using Escrow, is Bounty Detective,
yes I always follow their bounties because The bounty they are handling is a good project, of course don't forget to make DYOR!

[goaldigger]

I worked on some bounties before and yes I feel so disappointed every time they do things like this because for me, they don’t appreciate the hunters that much.

I don’t know why, many successful projects find a hard time to pay the hunters, it looks like they regret to pay the hunters that much and i saw this one on the previous bounty of Poolz where the team adjusted the distribution of the reward, its frustrating on the side of the hunters.

if a project doesnt want to pay their hunters, this is one signal that they are not a serious project and more then likely they just want to rip money as much as they can from naive investors. with hundreds of bounty programs running, you will only see few of them that will respect their agreements to their hunters. and even few those that really hit their target price in the market. so if you are a bounty hunter, you really need to avoid trash projects but i guess, it is better to join btc paying campaigns under a reputable bm. that for sure, you will get paid.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

This is a problem that I really don't like in the bounty program. All developer project has full power to make unilateral decisions. They have the right to make a decision that every bounty hunter really doesn't like and they can just change that decision whenever they want.

Like distribution issue, yeah all bounty hunter will be irritated by this problem. Recently I see there is a developer project who will distribute their token to bounty hunter once every six months, this is so crazy. They only think about the benefits they get without knowing the situation every bounty hunter feels, and yeah this is the worst project developer I have ever encountered.

[Distinctin]

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.

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.

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.

I hope to see a profitable years for bounty hunters but with more solid projects, people have learned from their mistakes, they have matured now so they will not easily invest on projects, but who knows if there's a new platform that could attract a lot of investors, we might again enjoy the bounty hunting like we usually do in the past.

This is a problem that I really don't like in the bounty program. All developer project has full power to make unilateral decisions. They have the right to make a decision that every bounty hunter really doesn't like and they can just change that decision whenever they want.

Agreed, this should be the main concern. There must be a good negotiation for the whole of things before the developers wanna try to run the bounty campaign just like the distribution date must be decided and the funds must be escrowed. If this will be happening and whole of hunters will be very happy caused by that.
The rules if the dev can change it anytime based on the situation is a very bad rules for sure. This gives the developers a power to control or deceive the hunters as they are the party who has been holding the reward.
Such rules must be removed and there could be a fixed rules that can't be changed by either hunters or developers.

[Lordhermes]

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.

This is exactly what bounty hunters don't understand in the forum, as long as you are a promoter, you have every right to ask any questions because you are wasting your time, data, energy, and electricity in promoting projects that wouldn't pay you at the end. Its never compulsory to participate in tons of bounties meanwhile at end meets you got nothing, simple choosing two out of hundred with four weeks downwards would be a good option for a bounty hunter to avoid disappoinment.

You either get used to the often failures in bounties or stop joining bounty projects, the choice is yours and moreover it's never going to be easy to make money, my advice is be picky and carefully do good research on projects before deciding to promote the project, there are still high quality projects

indeed, because thats the risk for joining any bounty campaign right now
so, people must ready for that and learn carefully how to pick a good bounty campaign project

There are some project teams who are not paying for their various reasons. it's kind of inconsistent, and I always tag the project team to my portfolio so I don't get stuck on their projects later on. because usually the project team always builds another project and ends up with a scam or does not pay bounty participants

Most confused when joining bounty exactly with bounty campaign have listed on exchange like last campaign manage by detective, maybe any one who joined with moonbase bounty but still not any information yet when distribution begin. When you asking on telegram channel bounty group always not get good answer and reply with waiting always, I think looks scam maybe without any payment getting with coin price above $2, how ever when coin have good price very hard to get payment and spreadsheet final have been update early with many coin getting bu bounty participants.

I think situations like this will not come to an end until bounty hunters are ready to unite and fight for their right, by doing the things they are meant to do. Bounty hunters can come together and decide that every project manager must demand for escrow for any project they are going to be committing their time and hard work to, if it’s not going to be that way then they should all leave the project. And if the managers are not going to do what is right as it pleases the hunters, then they should be abandoned until they are ready to do the right thing. Because it seems most of the managers only care about collecting their own pay.

[gurunanakji777]

It happens several times with most of the bounty hunters but can not do anything and its very disappointing when we receive rewards worth just some pennies. I remember late 2017 time was golden time that time bounty pays good reward but after that things changes and most of the bounties scammed hunters. I must say Dev should also take care the hunters who helps him in promoting the project.
