Bounty hunters are getting axed harder

[asus09]

This year very hard for bounty campaign participants, look last three years almost bounty campaign payment on time there are not have reason with delay distribution, now check what happen with last campaign cyclop manage by bounty detective, price is good because one coin have value above $270 but bounty campaign manager distribution on April with third phase, do you think we are playing by bounty campaign campaign manager after project paid them and payment delay?

For me, I'm just following bounty managers that have made good and successful bounties. This kind of method helps me to participate in good bounties. So far I've received payments for all my work

I've promoted two projects since December 2020 till January 2021 and they aren't from any bounty manager, the teams managed their campaign themselves and they paid bounty hunters as they promised, Stobox is one and base protocol is another, bounty can be very tricky, even popular bounty managers can bring bad projects to bounty hunters

If you are only chasing about the payment of the bounty without considering the token value, then that is good to do, but if you consider the value of the token, there are not many bounties that can be followed even though the bounty is held by a well-known manager.

I have to agree. I noticed that the campaigns run by experienced managers have smaller and smaller rewards (per participant). Those bounty that are led directly by the project have much bigger rewards per participant. However, if someone has no experience in researching projects, a better solution to reduce the risk is to participate in those campaigns that are checked by experienced bounty managers.

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

You're so on points. The reasons you have stated above and with other reasons are why I find it difficult till date to participate in promoting projects.

Many experience bounty campaign manager delay payment coins distribution and check with last several manager campaign almost delay payment, I think they wanna make transaction by selling first and buy back later when price dump, so they have bigger chance for bounty campaign reward to trade and get much profit. I have get several bounty campaign make like this and almost manage by experience bounty campaign manager.

I know that managers who run campaigns paid in BTC often also provide escrow and they also make distribution of rewards to participants.
I haven't seen a situation where a manager provides an escrow for a bounty campaign. Could you give an example please?

There are already few campaigns here who escrowed the bounty campaign rewards since they are not that popular in terms of management or new in bounty management.  Thou it’s somehow not effective since there’s a need for the project to be listed first in exchanges to have some value.

With such a huge fee for transactions on the Ethereum platform (I'm thinking about ERC20 token, which probably is used in all DeFi projects),  bouny manager would go bankrupt if he did an escrow and have to make distribution now.

So many projects did it, ignoring bounty rewards or finding a way to reject more bounty hunters. Still, I can remember that "injective protocol" bounty campaign. They distributed USDT in the same address but rejected so bounty hunters by applying different new rules. Honorable bounty campaigns are very rare, although they are defense of bounty managers.

You cant particularly or directly asking out on the current bounties at the moment, for sure they are pertaining about those bounties before on where the network fee on eth platform isnt really high yet.

Escrowed funds on a bounty is really a rare thing to happen.Most of the time the team itself would really be the ones to decide neither they would do it or not since in the beginning.

Most of the time they will really hold of those funds and this is what risk even way more higher.You cant be sure if you would be get paid after the bounty program or would just simply those people
ran off and wont pay on what they owe.

This had been a typical scenario or cases on where bounty hunters could normally experience.

That's right, and usually experienced bounty managers don't hold many bounties, because if the bounty project doesn't have clarity, then he won't want to hold it, moreover it can affect his reputation in this forum.

Experience bounty campaign manager make difficult right now after bounty ended and distribution process, last bounty campaign I have sent eth as payment fees and coin distribution after have lower price, looks this good or not and my bounty joined manage by experience bounty campaign manager, how ever now look very hard for bounty hunter where payment delay looks many bounty campaign manager make us difficulty how to get our payment.

Around this time the number of good bounties has decreased and the number of strong projects has also decreased. Moreover many good managers have retired from their jobs. However it is a dangerous time for bounty hunters so any new steps should be introduced to make money.

I think the number of projects remained the same, but they have chosen other way of advertisement. Running bounty campaign now cost a lot. Not only you must allocate budget for rewards, but also a decent amount must be spend on transaction fees. It is like double spending to get same result. Which is usually lower than expected or other ways of advertisement. We all know how most hunters advertise. Click like/retweet > next. Make a quick 1-2 line post, based on what was written in 1 post above and move to other topic. Most of hunters work is low quality. For a projects it is often is identical to throwing money away.

Many good campaign manager before have retired from their job because they found many bounty campaign scam, delay payment and not have escrow for ICO and bounty campaign manager, so they try keep out reputation without manage with scam bounty campaign project, look now how many bounties campaign manager not trusted and we have not choose without joining with their rule exactly payment distribution, they try how to delay distribution and never give chance for us sell all coin and now sent payment few phase.

If that's true, then you haven't done their job right. A bounty manager should ensure that there is an escrow for the bounties. And if the tokens to spread have not yet been generated at the time of the campaign, other coins such as BTC and ETH must be made available as collateral.

Escrow discussion again, I would like to ask you about how many escrow bounties have you joined around 2020 till now? Because 98% of all bounty projects don't care about escrow and it doesn't stop them from paying bounty hunters either, the only bounty manager that takes escrow serious is bounty detective, others simply don't care

Even escrowed tokens wont really be guarantying profits on the task that you had done but at least you would really be paid up with those coins because you wouldn't
know if those would be getting some value or would still end up on a shitcoin later on but hey, its better than have nothing at all or not being paid up.
When it comes to escrow matters then I do heavily agree that 99% of them doesn't really consider this set-up.They are the ones who do make the rules
on how people would be paid and when they should be paid.So bounty hunters wont really have any other choice but to deal with it.

Right now why we need escrow because many bounty manager campaign wanna play by self like sell coin from bounty campaign reward and then delay distribution to participants, almost worth bounty campaign ended last few weeks and have good price on exchaneg but distribution begin two months later and sending few phase, but when coin have on escrow hand we can know when distribution and where is coin still holding.

Then why still do bounties if you think you are getting axed harder than before?

Simply, if you don't want the rule, stay away. If you accept the risk even to the point that you won't be paid or less payment, then go ahead.

We are the one who decides here. We aren't forced to join a bounty.

I don’t understand at all why a person is indignant, before starting to participate in the bounty program, each person should familiarize himself with the project in more detail, at least understand if there are any risks not to receive a reward for the work performed.

If he agrees and goes to fulfill the bounty program, then he must still be prepared that he may not receive his reward.
