Conditions of bounty campaigns these days

[bakasabo]

I just realized, the that conditions of bounty campaigns, compared to past did not change much. We still have same rules of 5 retweets/share and 2 tweet/own post in most social media bounty campaigns. Same 15-20 posts for signature, same 75-150 character length. Same video rules with bad/average/good reward grade, same article campaign rules.

People say that we have more scam now. I would say that in the past we have more campaigns and more scam also. The slight difference was - scam campaigns also paid rewards in 2017. Now we have 5/10 campaigns that are scam, and 2/10 dont distribute. When I have started doing bounties, we have like 1 whole page of new campaigns every day in Bounty section, and most of them were scam. Projects that disappear after ICO.

In the past we just got more tokens (that had no value) from bounties, than now. Campaigns are the same as years ago.

I believe that it is more like the same situation. We have had bounties back in the years that didn't pay after the campaign was completed and now we still have some Bounty campaigns that still don't pay after work is done.  Asking for KYC is now the biggest scam in the bounty campaign space that was not specified before the campaign because they know most will not participate in that campaign not because the hunters want to scam you but because they don't want to give their info which the projects is now forcing them to do to get their pay.
I guess the matter is subjective because some people pick and choose the campaign we participate in.

The competition among projects is very stiff now as if the industry has leveled up, gone are the days when projects can easily gain followers and get funded, and when they hit the market investors are in a hurry to invest and bounty hunters were receiving their rewards in a matter of days or weeks, but right now there are projects that look good on paper but cannot keep up with the development, it's very challenging now for developers but more so on bounty hunters, there is no guaranty now for bounty hunters, it cannot replace an offline job now and it ceases to be a work from home job, it has become a box of chocolate you never know what you're going to get.

One of the main reasons why they are asking KYC these days is the fact that there are more than one account per person and they are worried that the same person will get multiple entry just because of it. If you do not want to do KYC for a project then you should not enter at the start, and even if they didn't say it, assume that they will ask for it.

The main reason stands, it is a good reason, if I open 10 twitter accounts and 10 bitcointalk accounts and whatever else is needed, should I be joining with 10 accounts? I should not, and KYC is there to prevent that. Not a good thing for most participants who do not want to share it, but a good defensive mechanism for the campaign.

The changes that I have seen in the bounty are very different. In the past, if you participated in a campaign, surely in the near future we could conclude that the hope of getting very large results and being able to help increase needs, and on the contrary at this time it is very difficult to get incomefrom the bounty campaign.. moreover the exchange value is very small..

2 or 3 years ago you could say that the results we got from the bounty campaign were huge,
different from the current bounty that is given is small and this is indeed the condition,
we all really hope to be back like before again it's very much awaited

First of all that's true in many bounty campaigns asking KYC, May be project teams implement it due to spammers who using multiple accounts. But you have to analysis if a project asking KYC to participate in their campaign then if you think it’s looking worthy then will go to join and if they didn’t pressurize to participate in their campaign, It’s depend on you.

Do you know how easy it is to buy identity card this days? Many are willing to drop their passport or driver's license for just 10$, not every country is in good shape mate and people in hard countries don't care, all they want is money.

Also, I have a completely different opinion than @KaliLinux. It is the KYC verification (which I don't like) that make difference of legit projects from scams.
Scam project doesn't care how many multiaccounts take part in the bounty campaign, because they only care about spam and making as much fuss as possible. This project that requires KYC ensures that their tokens go to real people who will become part of the community, not just bots.
As I wrote, I don't like KYC. However, if I do very good research and I am convinced that it is a solid project, then I do the verification. After all, no one has to take part in the bounty if they do not want to pass KYC or if they are not sure that the project is legit.

You are ignoring the fact that projects can not just scam investors, by taking their money, but they can collect their KYC to resell it or to use in their shady deals. I have read about the cases, where projects main purpose was not to sell their tokens and perform exit scam, but the idea was to get a much as possible users IDs, use them to create lots of accounts on coinlist and participate in sales as an army of bots.

some of the projects that I followed became a scam. Well, it can be said that the bounty is not as good as in 2017, but it seems that at this time it is still quite worth it as a side job. however, the rules in the bounty world are still the same as before, which is don't expect too much from it. I just hope that when supporting a project from a bounty, I hope that the project is really good.

Almost all project bounty joined on 2017 become success and have higher reward allocation by joining with signature campaign could earn above $500 each campaign, but right now almost have bounty campaign ended with scam and a lot of way how many bounty campaign become scam, from late distribution by bounty manager and make price drop under 70% when coin received until without payment by project team, but still have several bounty campaign could be trusted although allocation not depending with percentage with how much supply coin and prefer pay with USDT as stable coin.

The Bounty campaign as a whole saw a decline in bounties at the end of 2018. Increased competition means each platform has to change its payouts to stay competitive. Each participant's analysis should be in place to gain a deeper understanding of how a campaign works and what you can earn from it.

In the era prior to 2018, we had ICO and they need the advertisements to raise money through crowd fundings. Almost all projects used to have a presence on bitcointalk.
Later, IDO, IEO came which don't need bounties for marketing and hence good projects do not focus on bounties these days.

Hello guys
Are you guys really getting paid from the Bounty campaigns these days? What are you earning on an average per week? How many campaigns are you working in?
I think alot of changed since 2018.

Correct me but I don't think that there is any difference from the Bounty campaign right now and what it was 3-4 years ago where ICO's are the most popular ones.
The only difference I think is that there are more projects right now that are either scam or aren't paying the bounty hunters etc.

Bounty Campaigns in 2018 aren't the same as now as the amount of money a hunter can get in a campaign is lower than what it is a few years ago. I still remember me joining in one translation campaign and I got tokens that had a value. Held the tokens for a moment hoping that it will rise but it didn't. I exchanged that tokens that I got and bought a new smartphone because of it.

that's what we have to apply. Don't expect too much from the bounty results that we do. if we get bigger maybe that's the luck we can get.
those who say they get a lot of prizes I think they are lying or maybe cheating. when you can calculate what we get from social media bounties, not all projects will deliver great value. more than we get is a scam.

As someone said earlier, bounties are still a good way to earn side money. You should have a job/business for regular income but can work on bounties as part time work. Also, you should know that sometimes this work may pay off and you get good coins that may have good value in the future and at other times you will get just useless coins. If you have this mindset, then you can invest your time in bounties.

Good projects nowadays use IEO to raise money and they don't need bounty hunters to spread or make noise about their projects online, only very few projects still use bounty hunters on bitcointalk, my advice to new bounty hunters is not lower their expectations from projects, disappointments will happen that's certain.

The amount of campaigns is also much lower these days. In 2017 you could easily find a decent campaign with escrowed BTC weekly payment. Today when you participate even in altcoin campaign first you need to find a trustworthy one, make a overall research to make sure their token gonna worth something, check if devs are not throwing out too much bounty coins and only then you decide if you want to apply. And tbh, most altcoin campaigns seem like a waste of time.

What if IEO project also advertises on bitcointalk? This will increase their token sales and exposure as more people will come to know about their project.

The crypto projects never had the bitcoin paying campaigns. They always paid in native tokens in 2017 and also now. So there is no change in this aspect.
However, the bitcoin paying signature campaigns have increased as more gambling platforms are advertising their services here on bitcointalk.

Not lower or lower?
I done bounties before and all I could say it to always lower the expectations about it being successful. Most of it doesn't even achieve a small cap and they will be gone in the wind without any further instructions on how you can sell what they given to you.
I mean its bounties, there is really no assurance what could happen next so it would be better to be on the side where you just think about making some out of nothing or be hopeful.

  Most bounty campaigns these days were not even successful from their crowd funding so we cannot expect that they will reward us as profitable as before. And the condition gets even worst as most of the new projects that have been launched in the market end up scams. So definitely, i would not suggest to rely on bounty campaigns these days as for your main income. But still, you can have it whenever you have spare time as i would admit that working in bounties could also be helpful having additional knowledge on crypto market.

3. There are few limited bounty managers that introduce escrow payment this days, this decrease the chance of not getting paid, julerz12 and bounty detective use escrow.

I can agree that @julerz12 do use escrow in some or most of the bounties he or she manages , because ive been part of some ot the bounties he managed and it was escrowed, but I can't agree that bounty detective also uses escrow, I've been part of bounties managed by bounty detective, and out of the 3 or 4 campaigns I participated in, only 1 (student coin) paid, and they didn't even pay the hunters full amount as was advertised on the bounty thread, that was when I quit participating in any bounty managed by bounty detective, they are the worst bounty managers I've seen on this forum not minding they have a huge community.

Bounty is all about trying your luck but still I suggest you choose the project wisely.

Yeah, I agree with you, there are two major issues to really worry about in choosing a bounty to join.

• 1. Payment for your work at the end of it all, once you have the assurance of getting paid, then you worry about the second one which is..
• 2. If the project will succeed at the end of the day, most projects end up as scam even after paying bounty hunters thier reward, which means bounty hunters end up with worthless tokens in their wallet with absolutely no hope of it ever getting listed in the future.

So this is why I agree that one must choose a project wisely when it comes to bounty participation, jumping on any projects to promote and hope to get paid at the end of the day means you will have more bitter taste in your mouth than you have a sweet taste.
