Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[JooBra]

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.

Research is a must since you will be promoting that project for some time. And the research is the one that pays off. Mostly you wont join a really good project but having a good one once a year is enough. Me personally keep all tokens and hope for some projects to success. It's a hobby which can pay off big in future.

It was always difficult for hunters, especially in those frantic times of ICOs, when almost 80% of projects in which I took part did not pay their hunters. This continues now, but the problem is that there are much fewer projects now.

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.

Exactly if we consider the bounty as a goal, a full-time job, it will be really difficult at this stage, even in the near future when many projects will suddenly disappear or halted operations due to the very high value of the top coin, profits make creators flee with the money we invest and the project cost is not enough to provide the reward for the participant, the results are clear that the bounty hunter will be hit hard. To ease our mentality and avoid the pressure in this regard, considering bounty hunter as a learning path would be better as you say

This is very serious issue for many bounty hunters but sadly no on can stop this all as its all about project team and bounty manager I know few members those was complaining about this as they done hard work but they never receive any thing from few projects because these was scams so its bounty hunters own duty to check this all.

Much better treating that way instead of leaning on it to provide you your needs, bounty hunting is for advertisement it's been used by the developers to attract potential investors.

If there's none consider the project to failed and you won't recieved anything from the team, you need to move forward and learn those previous mistake particiapting with project that don't have clear visions of success.

From time to time you'll be able to learn how to pick good project/potential project  from those
who are just hiding the real intension of scamming potential investors.

Unfortunately this is something no one can find cure for, the moment you decide to be a bounty hunter you should understand that you may end up wasting your time and energy too, it's just the way it is with bounty projects, you can't tell if this will be successful or not and you can't tell if you will get paid or not, you just have to accept things the way they are, that is if you still want to be a bounty hunter

[sayaya17]

It requires bounty hunters to work harder, and even many bounty hunters who follow almost all bounties projects expect from so many
 that some are paying fairly and honestly, even very lucky if anyone pays big, although almost none at the moment.
But sometimes everything we do becomes futile, when the project is unwilling to pay participants for many reasons. It’s a risk to be a bounty hunter.

Research is a must but not always enough, don't believe that research will always safe you from bounties that will disappoint you later, scan isn't the only reason why bounty hunters don't get paid, even successful projects can deny you your payment so research won't always safe you

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

This is actually one of the things where people should really realize first on the things that they can possibly experience when they do plan to go with bounty hunting career.

You would definitely experience these unfortunate  events that a bounty hunter that can possibly meet up along the way.This is the sad reality that's why lots of people had

quitted bounty hunting a long time ago after that 2017 bull run.It isn't really worth off for your time and effort that you had put in just for you to receive some peanuts
or ending up on not getting paid.

But still got surprised that there are still people whom do still accept this kind of fate and continue to hope that they can hit up a good project and make
some serious money with it.

Bounty hunters working harder? That is a strange thing to hear about;) Projects are paying peanuts for work that is peanuts,,, so that sounds fair to me. I mean, majority bounty activities are RT and repost and copy paste.

What is the hard work about that? No offense but even many hunters I knew admit it.

Now bounty hunter faced big problem when getting reward they need to pay for bounty campaign manager to received coin, I think is very bad rule because not all bounty participants know with announcement to received coins have to pay fees for bounty campaign manager, when coin have listed on exchange market I sure bounty campaign manager will sell coin as bounty participants and distribution later after coin have lower price,

The major problem is 99% of Ethereum Projects are tokens and now that eth gas fee is very high it won't make sense to get paid in tokens because there will be many who won't be able to sell due to their tokens to high gas, Ethereum network fee need to be fix or update

That risk should be in your mind prior to joining the bounties.

And it just becomes hard work since you are joining multiple bounties at a time. Projects owners have nothing to do with your hard work as in general, bounty works are simple tasks. In the span of the week, for Twitter or Facebook bounties, it only needs a few minutes to be done.

But project owners should be responsible. Right now, some ERC20 based projects are halting withdrawals due to high gas fees. Depends on the project, there are respective plans on how to solve this.

It is not the way to make money, in gambling you have better odds to make money rather than hunting pennies on the bounty section of the forum. The suffer will not stop until the bounty managers will stop agreeing with teams regarding the late bounty distribution. The insurance option sounds crazy but it is not impossible though.

The problem is not an only Gas fee, the bounty scams are not going to stop soon. Even if a bounty hunter pays less than a $1 fee, the scammers will suck the profit with trading on exchanges. The high fees are not ok too but it still nothing compared to the obvious bounty scam problem.

In my handled campaign right now and even before, there are participants complaining about less stake received wherein they claimed they are doing hard work but if you will look into their submitted output (article), it was just a plain and simple copy-paste on the site's introduction. Where's the hard work for that?

The reason is, like others also mentioned here, they work on different bounties that's why they end up in several tasks at the same time. It's too much work if you joined 10 bounties at the same time.

Ever since the rise of the bounties here in the forum, it was always suggested that always do your own research when choosing a bounty to join.

The topic of escrow for bounty campaigns has been discussed for years. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen. The only way to reduce the risk of losing time is to thoroughly check the project and, above all, the people behind it. If the dev team are not random people, but experienced professionals, there is a big hint that the project will be successful and the distribution of rewards will be fair.

yep there were bounty managers who also ask to escrow the tokens but it still not enough since the team can easily create another ERC20 token. a nonvaluable token will always be worthless until it will be listed to a market. Its always going to be risky for bounty hunters and nothing can be changed.

there was a suggestion that the team should just deposit some BTC instead. but i doubt a team will do that.

If the project had BTC or other funds for the deposit, it probably would not need a fundraising and promotion through a bounty campaign.
You wrote about bounty managers - a lot depends on them, because they should be the first to check the project and dev team thoroughly. Of course, it's always possible to miss something, but they should be the first to eliminate scams. That is why if someone have no skill to review the project, I recommend everyone to join only campaigns managed by experienced bounty managers.

[TanakabZX]

Yes escrow won't get rid of scams in bounty space, the risk of not getting paid, the risk of projects not raising enough funds and other will always be present, if you aren't fully ready for such risk then bounty thing isn't for you, you have to be willing to take risks

[JHORN]

Bounty detective team are the only one using escrow till this day, another project that pays weekly is Amepay token but unfortunately the price have gone down and not worth is anymore, the only advice I can give you is to keep doing good research, without research you will do more mistakes when choosing bounty projects to promote
