Are bounties dead?

[TopTort777]

People still do bounties? I wonder how much people earn from them nowadays? I remember bounties had 50-100k reward pools, now I see around 3-10k only. I have recently seen bounty with 3k reward that will last for 2 or weeks. Its twitter campaign was full with hunters, I think more than 500. Its alocation was 30-40%, if everyone have equal followers, maximum hunter would get about 2.5 bucks, for 3 weeks. It is even worth making multiple accounts with such rewards.

After running several bounty campaigns I have noticed that they only attrach bot accounts, multiple fake accounts controlled by one person or low quality accounts that can not even give adequate comments - it is not the same as it used to be back in the days in 2018. Where has all the quality crowd gone?

keep calm mate, there are still bounty managers here who are very good at their services,
and are considered very good in choosing bounty projects, all of them pay even though the payment we get is a little more than the bounty in 2017-2018,
 try to follow Brainboosbounty, BountyDetective and of course Hhampuz bounty, I guarantee you will get your payment.

These days, bounties don't pay; plenty of individuals use many accounts to earn several incentives, and most of the projects they launch these days are mostly scams or projects with no future. Nonetheless, we participate to try our luck because no one knows when or how they will succeed in life.

Even those who enrol many accounts in bounties are also breaking the rule here.

And most times we run out of luck when we try because this projects end up scamming us. They waste our time for weeks and thereafter still do not pay us. I have been scammed alot by projects refusing to pay. It is even bad since they end up getting away with it. After many scam experiences I now take my time in picking bounties I apply to. I do not have to work for others to enjoy my sweat.

It's better to choose those project which are escrowed by Bounty manager. We know all Project did not do this then second option is to check the bounty manager . Brain boss,HHumpuz,Mr Irfan,Bounty Detective all are trusted BM and managed many good projects. Third option is to check their Twitter and Telegram Community. If  the community already big there is high chances that they will pay.

We must be selective in applying for bounties with a detailed project analysis process, so that it is less likely to be cheated and not distributed, of course we will not be willing to work without proper pay for weeks running project promotion activities, so we still hope for luck for us to get pay according to our work.

i don't follow all the current bounties, i only follow the signature bounties ^{(like the one i'm currently wearing)}, from my personal experience, so far the bounties i follow continue to pay off well.  you have to be more selective in choosing which bounty you want to join, don't follow it arbitrarily because your time is very valuable.

Bounty managers keep doing their job but it is hard to combat with fake accounts especially on social media bounties. The good old days are over, we have to keep focusing on quality contents and ignore the unknown projects let alone promoting on forums. There are review websites for each project, check it before joining bounty campaigns.

Well, some reviews are paid and obviously made good just to attract investors, many are fake and a reason why many still had fallen to wrong market promotions. Now, it is really hard to detect if the bounty is a scam or going to scam, many of these bounties had looked good in their early days but devs had abandoned them in the latter part of the campaign, sometimes BM had even not received the payment. Too sad but the look of bounties now is getting worse.

If you know they are bot/fake accounts, why don't you remove them? I don't think even in 2018, we are free from bot/fake accounts. This always happens each year, that's why a bounty manager should be more careful in choosing the participants in a bounty program. Regarding the low-quality comments/posts, it is not always related to the case of bot/fake accounts. Even if they are real accounts, they may make low-quality posts. This can be caused by a less experience of the users or less sufficient knowledge. Just check their post history before deciding to accept them.

They will do everything for money. It's worth nothing for you guys but for third world country, even for $10/bounties could make a huge difference for some of them especially with how much accounts they probably have in their hands. Just combine it with how much social media bounties we have in this forum, they could get a decent amount of money for just a little effort they put into this kind of stuff.

There are many reason why is this happening first is that some bounty campaigns are not 100% sure to give you legit coins cause nowadays there are many scam that offer you a good coun but they won't give you in the end. All of a sudden why does other users create many alt accounts to farm in bounty campaigns and get more profit and it's a big cases now days cause too many alts account own by 1 person.

[amihada]

now the bounty is getting better a lot of good new projects and it's a shame if you have a bitcoin talk account and you didn't join the bounty project. this is a great opportunity to collect dollars.

Although it's not as exciting as the previous stages, I still see many projects that bring great happiness to the hunter. Today, as the trend of changing the approach to marketing programs for many projects is also different, bounty is only a small part of this space. However, when I see some stories from BM among hunters in the bounty environment, I see that there are many problems with management, as well as that participants are increasingly abusing this work to spread scam projects.

Looks several signature code here dominance by campaign weekly payment and less signature code from altcoin bounties, but I don't see with less opportunity to received payment although with altcoin bounties because still have several bounties worth and pay on time. But need research and looking with bounty campaign limit participants for joining like campaign from bounty detective. If not limit bounty participants maybe not much reward received when bounty ended although distributing with stable coin like BUSD or altcoin have listed on exchange market.

Since a few months ago many signatures were dominated by week pay campaign participants because there was little chance for the bounty to get real income, almost all bounties were dominated by scam projects except for some bounties that had been paid in BUSD and the coins were escrowed to be paid by the bounty manager.

I just returned to bounty, after 2019 following the bounty, it's definitely very different now, some people prefer to follow the signature because it looks like projects that pay with signatures can pay more seriously than the usual bounty campaign. Also, the really bad difference is that every year I see there is always an increase in fraudulent bounty payments, driving everyone away from the bounty campaign.

at the time of 2018, people are not yet aware of the Bounty project, those involved in the bounty project are really high quality both in marketing or account.

Today there are many fake project teams, also many fake accounts promoting the project, currently the two problems are both fake, who turned it off, of course they themselves.

True, some people secretly use many accounts in one campaign, they always say, because the bounty with one account has very little income, this is very much used by campaign participants from 2020, the small allocation and complicated distribution make them justify any means to earn income here, although this forum is always monitored, but they continue to try to get a loophole. But in fact, from year to year the quality of bounties and participants has decreased, since 2017 is better than this year.

The current bounty condition is certainly like heaven and earth compared to 5 years ago, at that time with a full member level I once earned at least $500 per month, but now it is very difficult to get $50 per month, of course I understand that 5 years ago there were few bounty participants , whereas projects provide large rewards so that participants get big payouts, 5 years ago many projects were successful in ICO with a collection of hundreds of millions of dollars even less than a month, whereas nowadays it is very difficult to reach the softcap of 100 BNB ($40k).

I agree back then in 2017 when I participated a bounty campaign I got a decent amount, but the different bounty today with the old one is the old one run for a long time around three months on average while nowadays most bounty only run between 2-4 weeks with a big amount of rewards that I think is weird because when we got the tokens it worth so small.

[fullhdpixel]

most people come to this forum because the money and money made from bounties today are much different from 2017, nowadays most bounties will end in scams or dead projects. I see if the activity on this forum has decreased drastically when compared to 2017, maybe this is because most people have left this forum and chose to look for work in the real world. Besides that the new feature "merit" seems to make most people think that the forum rules are getting stricter and make them leave this forum.

The idea is that, if you are making money as the bounty participant, then I would guess that you would make a lot more money if you were the one who distributed it. Think about it, if you were to aim at some scam, wouldn't you want to just distribute the token you created out of thin air, literally spent no money to create, distribute it to people like it worths something and then ask them to work for you?

It is like me saying "hey I created ME dollars, work in my company and earn this"! It reminds me of schrute bucks basically. All in all, a token is valued at zero in my mind until it is not, and that is why bounties are getting more and more scams.
