Are Airdrops and Bounties worth the work?

[Swopon]

It's tough to say which one will be the legit project or airdrop. Many legit project didn't pay their hunters and we don't have in our hand to do so against them. But some of them pay the hunters with handsome amount which is also true. That's why, we can say it varies and depends on projects if they pay then obviously it is worth to work.

Had this question been in the past, my asnwers would have been a lot different from today. Because if you ask me, despite of the fact that most of the airdrops are free the amount of rewards are already very small and would somehow be just a huge waste of time specially with the fact that mkst of the airdrops nowadays are scams. If I were to put some effort, I would rather go and join other bounties instead which has better compensation for your efforts. I suggest that you also do the same.

Very disappointed for sure if we have done our duty in the project but in fact it is not paid,
and I think that's the risk that being a bounty hunter is not easy, of course if you experience this,
but indeed we need to find a clear project and that takes effort

research still needed altough we didnt spend our money for this effort. some people didnt aware with their reward and prefer let it go and move on to another project, there are alot effort that we spend during campaign periode and its be our right to received the reward. if we dont receive this, maybe labelling scam and spread around the crypto market

[Bohdan820]

Airdrops and Bounties this is certainly good, but at the present time it is not enough also need to participate in testnets to increase the receipt of altcoins without investment.

I was wondering if Airdrops and Bounties worth the effort.

It all depends on which bounty you are working on and what the project has in the vision for the future. If you are working for a project that has a good vision and decent team then there's no reason the project should fold and burn out. I have seen some bounty do really well and the coins were worth more than what they expected.

That said, there are scam projects all over as we all know and on top of the scams, there are various tweaks in the smart contracts through which project owners can reverse transactions and take back the coins held under escrow.

Be very aware of the project and if you end up working for a good one, it is absolutely worth it!

You can see one such case here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5338454.0

as long as it's still free or doesn't cost money, it's still worth doing even though sometimes we get results that aren't worth it and we need to remember that bounties and airdrops are just a sideline or just to fill our busy time when we relax

Don't mistake me but this is the mentality that has allowed campaigns to ruin bounty hunters. If you are working for someone then you must get paid, regardless of whether you spend any money or not because you spent time and efforts on the project and it must be paid.

In most cases, it doesn't worth your time and energy. The bounty scams are going to drain your energy after a few failed bounty payments, better to learn new skills and use these skill for earning money on freelance websites. Many bounty managers don't even guarantee the payment at the end of the campaign, so be prepared to fail.

That's what I also feel until the bounty hunters start respecting their work and feel pride in what they do. As long as bounty hunters are going to work without thinking about being paid, the situation won't improve anytime soon.

If you spend time and effort into something make sure they know and pay for it. This is one thing bounty hunters have to realize.

[Similificator]

Well obviously, it is. Anything that produces money with minimal investments(labor) is worth all the effort! Specially in this industry. Just think about it, who would give out money that has the same value and potential to grow on your country for minimal efforts or simple tasks? Specially when you lack the requirements or the college degree?  None right? Hence, I conclude that doing simple tasks in exchange for bounty and airdrop rewards is truly worth the effort. You just have to be wise enough to differentiate bounties and airdrips that are worthy enough to spend your time and efforts with to the ones that are not.

[pedrillo0]

It is worth it when the project is with a verified team, with good partners and a community that supports the project.
I have had good and bad projects, sometimes I receive nothing, sometimes I even earn a trip.
You just have to be careful which bounty or airdrop to work on.

I dont get it how participate in testnets will increase the amount of altcoin w/o investment? AFAIK Testnet is just an experimental network to try anything without needed to pay the gas.
To get more amount of reward i think the only way is to complete as much task available to airdrop or bounty.

I'm learning a lot here about how people here invest and that tells me a bit about the market in general.

According to this article you need several wallets.

Then you have to find out about the drops, do somethings to get them (e.g. follow the coin on social media).  And there might be other steps I don't know about.

Coinbase is running a Dodgecoin sweepstakes.  You have to buy or sell $100. of Dodgecoin to enter.  That is sasy.

I'm not sure if Airdrops and Bounties are worth the work.

Many have already made money through Bounty. Therefore the bounty is worth working on. Although not all bounty projects make money. But we should not make it our main job, because the income in the bounty is not necessarily sufficient for daily life.

They are sure to be worth participating if they already have a good value on the time on or before the distribution of the airdrops. Good thing, sometimes, what you are not expecting to have a good value are becoming bullish overtime. It is quite rare tho.

[GideonGono]

It would only be worth it if the project succeed and it would pay the participants on time and what they had promised.
It is hard to find those kind of project now and it is hard to tell which one would really succeed and would keep their plans on track.

[livingfree]

They're worth the work if the airdrop or bounty you've received have entered in the market and took the attention of everyone. I've witnessed airdrops that have became worth of hundreds of dollars to a thousand worth of money that they've given freely.

It's just a random happening when you receive such because it doesn't happen most of the time. So if you've got into a bounty and you've received a token from a good project and the same as the airdrop then you can prove that it's worth but most of the time they don't and you waste your time.

[babygun]

I think the best times for real rewarding airdrops and bounties are a long time ago, but there can be some interesting airdops where you could earn a nice of amount of money with minimal effort (e.g. UNI airdrop and FORTH airdrop).

I do agree that there are airdrops that can increase in valuation but the problem is that you need to have the patience as it is difficult to identify which project will be successful and which ones are wasting your time. I used to participate in the past but now a days i usually avoid everything unless i see some potential chances.

I only participated in a few bounties in the past few years and i am not happy with the result either as some projects not even gave the coins and hence i usually ignore them as it is a headache.

There's actually no way to determine them once you're done with your research. It's hard to tell which is going to have that boom price because the majority of them are just following the same strategy and scheme after its listed on an exchange, that's when they're going to have the valuation.

Still, DYOR will guide you but even if you do so, many are not really that going to be worthy.

[nurilham]

I'm not sure if Airdrops and Bounties are worth the work.

If you are not sure, kindly don't join airdrops or bounties. It is not a must for you, it is just optional.
I am joining bounties but rarely participate in airdrops. I can tell you that they are still worth it although cannot give a big amount of money. But it is good enough for me, at least I can earn some dollars. As doing bounty and airdrop tasks are quite easy, it is still worth it to do. Except if the tasks are difficult, then kindly ignore them.

There are still several airdrops and bounties that is worth the work but you must really need to do a further and deep researching in order to fall in the right airdrops and bounties.
