Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[Argoo]

yes, currently the reward as a bounty hunter aren't worth it, but we must never give up, now most of the rewards don't match our work.
Moreover, the reward program from project based on ethereum, we can't sell it directly because the price of gas is higher than the price of the token.
we just enjoy it, I am sure of the many bounty programs that we participate in, there are those who can give us a huge rewards.

In my opinion, our work as a bounty hunter began to pay, although not too high, but more stable. Now we have much less problems with KYC checks, agencies such as bounty detective have appeared, which practically guarantee the payment of new tokens. Fraudulent projects also, in my opinion, much less. Problems. of course, there is still, but you can still work.

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.

Who guys working hard for a lot of bounty projects then definitely will be benefited. I am here since 2016 and i have seen when i got rewards from randomly though i joined without any research. but now weather is totally changes, getting payment is very difficult even from promising/successful, projects team denied about distribution after end of the promotion.

Escrow and limited participants are a necessity in bounty hunting this days, the lower the participants the better your reward and also only bounty detective use escrow, majority of new bounties still don't use escrow, we got to keep having some faith that they will get paid, there is no solution around this, that's just the way things are

the talentless manager of Fatemablabla is the worst manager of the year!!!
Here only beginners will remain, those who do not yet know that they are being used as slaves.

She or he is not talantless, she is just busy and tries to sit on two chair simultaneously. I've seen somewhere int bounty group, that Fatemablabla has a IRL job and bounty management is her hobby and Fatemablabla could check results and manage campaign only on free time. That is ok with me, Fatemablabla could organize her work as she/he wants. But just dont manage several campaigns simultaneously, concentrate on something one.

Maybe you're right, I can't know 100%, but that's no excuse, as people who have spent time on their work suffer. And they have to wait a long time for the results, it's irresponsible.  

I agree that this is irresponsible. But what should Fatemablabla do or how can influence on the situation? Fatemablabla is the same hired person do to tasks. She/he cant force Poolz to distribute rewards, nor dictate own terms of distribution. It is even impossible to write an ultimatum that will cause Poolz have a negative reputation, as Fatemablabla is the projects representative here...

I heard about the distribution issue from Poolz team, this isn't the bounty manager's fault, even if the BM try to use escrow the team might not agreed to it and look for another BM that won't ask them for escrow, joining bounties is like entering the gambling den where you can leave with a smile on your face or leave with unhappiness written over your face

I don't attribute the meanness of the Poolz team to her, I am talking about her work. Bounty Poolz ended on 17/11/20 and she just recently finished checking, a week ago. The check lasted more than two months. In addition, she does not like criticism, and throws out those who disagree with her from the chat.

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 there is no word difficult in my opinion as a bounty hunter. I will continue to do whatever it takes to be able to receive the wages of my work for a few months. and I don't care what investors think of bounty hunters. because I work to promote their project through the media that I have and hope to get a reward according to my work. so don't find it difficult if there are additional rules that apply to bounty hunters.

I found a way out for myself, now I launch the nodes and do testnet, a bounty has outlived its usefulness.
Many refer to Bitcointalk as a platform where you can hire workers and even slaves for a penny.

Just get used to bounties disappointments, there is nothing that can change the problems affecting bounties this days because you can't tell which project has good hearted team members, some team will be greedy to the core and some will have a good kind heart, you just have to keep moving forward

I think KYC is not a problem, it will reduce violations for participants who registered with multiple accounts, but KYC is a problem for someone who doesn't want to have their identity exposed.

bounty hunter smart can destroy the project's reputation by showing evidence that the project is fraudulent if the project is still running and is on the market, but if from the beginning the intention was only to seize investors' money, then nothing more can be done for bounty participants.

[virasisog]

It is part of the risk each of us takes when we join bounties. This usually happens on Altcoin bounties since some rewards are paid through the team's token which value is uncertain. Some bounties gave generous rewards but it is difficult to find projects that are honest in paying their bounty participants. This kind of risk can be eliminated if bounty hunters are reviewing projects they are planning to join before doing any tasks. This extra task can somehow lessen the risk of getting scammed.

Well, this is a risk that has always existed. I have also participated in a lot of bounty programs, and quite a number of projects that until now have disappeared with the promises they mentioned. After all, I'm used to it, but there are many bounty hunters who still ask for their reward. well, it's their hard work, I can only see that as a lesson to really choose a quality project.

Bounty hunters can't do anything to tackle projects that deny them of their payments, you can only share proofs on their social media which will be deleted straight away and also it won't have any effect, teams can easily say that bounty hunters are cheaters, criminals and all other sorts of words, I've seen this happened before

[Squezzi55]

There is nothing we can do to stop bounty scams, broken promises, evading of payments etc, you just have to get used to all this if you still want to keep joining bounties, to lessen all this bad results I'm now more careful around new bounty projects, I always make sure they are good people, I take PM to the team themselves and see through them from how they reply

Yes, this often happens, but this is because there are indeed many scammers among bounty hunters who cheat projects for personal monetary profit, perhaps this is why this happens.

But, as I wrote above, you need to participate in Bounty projects from popular, proven projects, this will be the best solution. There are many projects that have been running a bounty program for a long time and so far all bounty hunters have received their rewards.

[avarnet]

Always there is a problem in the bounty. When the price goes up there will be many reasons for the manager and dev to delay or reduce the amount they previously set. or when the price drops dramatically, the participant must pay their gas fee to get paid. This is ridiculous. I don't care about the credibility of a manager, but in fact nowadays so many managers do not comply with the initial bounty provisions they made

[odukoyaewatomi27]

Indeed, those are the delights and distresses of being a bounty hunters. one thing I can say from that assertion is that a really proficient team would do nothing as referenced, and feel that bounty hunters are likewise important for the project they are creating. notwithstanding, there are numerous projects that make bounty hunters suffer, and truth be told a large number of these projects will lose their trust, in light of the fact that occasionally bounty hunters are additionally important for the investors. in any case, an expert team could never do that.

First of all, you are not obliged to wake up in the middle of the night finishing tasks. There is 24 hours in a day and finishing tasks especially in social media campaigns takes only minutes to finish. Unless you are a translator or a blogger then it can take longer. What I'm trying to say is as a hunter, you don't need to stress yourself knowing that the one you are promoting isn't 100% sure that they will pay you.

The problem with some of the bounty hunters right now is that they are thinking that they will be paid hugely in the campaigns that they are paying and that is enough for them to just spend their time doing bounty campaigns and not finding another income source. Is Bounty Campaign an income source?? No for me since there is no assurance that you will get paid so why make yourself stressful in campaigns?? Why waking up in the middle of the night just to finish tasks??

This might sound harsh but for those bounty hunters out there who are hoping that they will get huge money in bounty campaigns, wake up already and don't expect too much on it. Find another income source and don't focus on bounty campaigns only.

if you dont care of the credibility of the manager you will end up in any bounty that is managed by random manager  with random status and most of these dont have high standard and wont care to the participant . no wonder why your always fail in your bounty hunting journey .

When the price goes up there will be many reasons for the manager and dev to delay or reduce the amount they previously set. or when the price drops dramatically, the participant must pay their gas fee to get paid.

reducing payments happen also on my campaign or on any campaign but the changes are going to be made only after the payment or before another round starts just to be fair to all but paying gas fee ? thats inhuman anymore . bounty hunters work to earn and not to spend any cent .

[dondonk]

Sad but that's what happened, the longer it takes to find a bounty that really appreciates the results of the bounty hunters' efforts, it's very difficult. But don't give up. being a bounty hounter is not a goal. bounty hunter is the process of learning to understand and understand cryptocurrency through this forum. until one day you find an ability that allows you to be rewarded with something big.

Well that is true, but you can limit the risk to run into a scam. There are often so many indicators that a new projects is a scam. I always wonder why many bounty hunters participating in campaigns where it is known that most parts of whitepapers is plagarism or where it was researched that the "team members" are nothing else than sockpuppets. There are also other hints but most do not seem to care about. Such scams would not have a chance if people would not be so greedy and headless.
