Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[Dr.Osh]

Well, those are the joys and sorrows of bounty hunters. one thing I can say from that statement is that a truly professional team would not do anything as mentioned, and think that bounty hunters are also part of the project they are developing. however, there are many projects that make bounty hunters suffer, and in fact many of these projects will lose their trust, because sometimes bounty hunters are also part of the investors. however, a professional team would never do that.

this will be bounty hunter job and they already know it, although now many porject coming everyday.
but it doesn't matter they will still doit, and for the payment wealready know how this job work.
soi i dont take it seriously and enjoy the job 

[fuer44]

ok i will share my experience. Since I first joined around 2017, I felt a very good bounty and I didn't care who the bounty manager was, I would pay on time and the exchange rate was good, even though in mid-2017 the market was not as big as it is now. It was only in 2018 that I started to feel that bounties were getting tougher.
1. tokens have been distributed but not listed, even for token swaps, until now there has been no follow-up. even if it is already listed, the exchange rate is very low, even though from a market point of view, it is getting better now.

2. Start looking for a good manager, follow the advice of the seniors here. but the result is still the same, the main problem is the listing process on the market exchange.

there are also some who pay on time and the exchange rate is good, but it is very difficult to find it like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I think this must be resolved immediately so that participants and investors can feel the same profit in this forum, especially the bounty.

[killerfrost]

It was much more difficult, and it also gave us more experience in this field, making money from bounty was not easy, but I am satisfied with what I can help with bounty campaigns. If all the payments were to be profitable for the hunters then perhaps everyone would be more comfortable and gentle.

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.

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

In some circumstances this is actually true. Bounty hunters include many types:
- Full time
- Part-time
For the most part, they do not receive satisfactory rewards for the nature of their work. although there are other exceptions. I personally don't choose to be a full-time bounty hunter, I have my job and bounty is essentially earning and consulting knowledge for investing and trading. Bounty hunter is the type that you decide, try to do it scientifically and effectively.

[bakasabo]

Hunters getting axed harder because they join every available bounty in search for quick and easy money. They are lazy or unexperienced to do their own research. They'd better be called bounty gatherers, but not hunters. Instead of complaining, they would better recheck all the campaigns they are in; ask representatives about development achievements, check roadmap and etc. Or at least check if projects has signs of plagiarism, fake team, templated webpage and its registration date.

[cheezcarls]

I don’t treat this as a full-time job anymore (except for most of 2018 and 2019) where I was just lucky in some of the tokens I hold that made me travel at least once or few times a month by plane locally or overseas until the pandemic struck.

It’s much better that you need to have a job that could give you stable income rather than just relying on bounty hunting to make a living. I just treat bounty hunting as a bonus regardless on how little or big I receive after converting it to BTC, ETH, USDT, etc.

Try to be more than just a bounty hunter at least. Once you have agreed to promote the project, you must always understand and accept the risks even if the value goes down or turned into shitcoin (or even ended up exit scammed). This is what I have in my mind, and if that project failed, it’s a lesson learn for me instead of whining and complaining all day.

This is the reality nowadays in bounty hunting where it cannot repeat like in 2017.

[RabbiTANK]

Just pray that the projects you promote are from teams that knows the worth of bounty hunters, even if they failed to meet their target they will sti respect bounty hunters and keep their promise, promoting scam projects isn't he only problem with bounties but also promoting quality projects and still been denied of your reward

[illnino]

The situation with the Bounty can hardly be changed. Giveaways generate very little profit. A lot of participants have appeared and they almost immediately sell their tokens as soon as they receive them. Because of this, the bidding price is very low, because no one wants to buy these coins.

[Murpheus]

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

have always wanted to own a mining farm.... because electricity bills in my country are not calculated, they just make assumptions at their office and bring you a big amount.... sometimes I feel it would be like a punishment for them, cos the price they do give is always too high.... but anyways I wish someone can teach me "mining 101"

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

The things have not improved for bounty hunters even after  almost 3 years of which i am observing the market. It seems like the era of bounty campaigns with good rewards lasted till 2017 only and after that this segment of crypto market is just going down and no signs of improvement yet  although market is doing very well now.

[Cryptosaja]

Yeah, almost every night hunters wake up in the middle of the night to work on many projects just to get paid. But when the project is successful, there are still many teams who treat bounty hunters cunningly not to get paid, for their various reasons and styles. But there is indeed a team that treats bounty hunters as human beings as well. But for those who are cunning, the project will not develop well, because of course they will not be honest and work well against their own projects. How can someone who is greedy will work well, because he will also surely be greedy with investor money.

[seleme]

Welcome to the reality, the pennies are the reward for doing all the tasks by bounty managers. The cold side of the things can happen frequently than you imagine, even some bounty participants are ripped with aksing the KYC or other useless requirements. Of course, the purpose is to get rid of the as possible as many bounty participants in order to pay less.

Greed is the name of the game, some team members are generous to share while other project teams can't even throw away the mentioned bounty distribution on the expected timeframe. The reality is hard to accept but it is what it is, unfortunately.

[gabbie2010]

As a hunter you have to be picky in participating in any bounty bounty campaign out of the numerous ones, you have do your own research, of course there are real bounties that pays but unfortunately many hunters are tricked by huge rewards to be earned at the end of the  so-called campaign, whereas some bounties also pays ETH weekly via an exchange due small amount of the reward a lot of  hunters shun it for some bogus campaigns, thus a lot of them (hunters) have themselves to blame at the end.

[meldrio1]

That's why we should not make this bounty as a source of income because it is really not guaranteed that the team will pay us. If the project is successful then good they surely pay us but if the project is failed then we gonna move on to the another project to work, this is the fate of bounty hunters.

[JeffBrad12]

True, but there are also projects that are successful but the hunters are not paid by the project team, so they cannot enjoy the results of their hard work even though the price of tokens is very expensive in the market.

Every year and so many times people have been hearing about that dude. The only way to fix it is escrow. No escrow and you will not get insurance.
So many developers are taking the hunters like they are not doing the promotion from the bounty campaign. We have heard that so many campaigns have been deceiving the hunters and that's the problem that must be solved. We have no choice other than trying to talk with the manager about the escrow for the funds.

Escrow makes lot of of sense but many new projects dont want to use Escrow and this doesn't mean they have bad plans in mind, DIA project was supposed to use escrow but the team said no and the project was very successful yet they paid all bounty hunters

[nomenclatur]

Currently, bounty hunters really have to be careful to choose a bounty that pays because many who use bounty hunters for free promotions don't want to pay a penny, which makes bounty hunters disappointed and they feel a loss that is felt by bounty hunters that are wasted time- pointless without any clear payment this has happened over and over again which frustrates bounty hunters.

[New_order]

Don't expect all projects you promote to turn out well, that's why it doesn't make sense to promote one or two projects and expect good rewards from both, for better result you have to get rid of laziness and promote more projects, and make sure they are worth promoting too

[bitbollo]

it's very hard found project that really worth time for completing bounty. most of them are just here to get free promotion and pay just a penny for a lot of efforts.
I think also that after 2017-2018 isn't worth anymore participate on that promotions.
