Are bounties dead?

[the ghabbar]

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.

All of this is caused by the lack of income received by bounty participants, although there are some people who basically want to deceive the managers who manage the bounty, because many people understand that if they only play on one account, their income is very little, but back again to an individual person, if If the intention is evil, then the treatment that is carried out is against the existing rules

If there is anyone who still earns good from bounties, would gladly read your experience. Please, dont just write "I have earned a X money", but rather write a bounty you have participated, so that we could check what you have written. Or if you want to stay anonymous, point on some campaigns that gave its participants at least several hundreds for participation. I believe there are bounty campaigns outside this forum, such bounties also suits, as we speak about bounties in general.

Honestly gone are days when bounty campaigns was very  profitable and rewarding after investing our time and efforts, unfortunately reverse is the case now partly due to many scam projects and some of those projects after listing in exchange, their value are usually low, Moreso a lot of bounty hunter dump those coins consecutively it price dropped lower, I recently participated in an eight week bounty campaign lo and behold my total earnings was less than $20 after the coin was listed, I was very disappointed, I just hodl the coin in my Trust wallet.

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?

Yes, you're right, I notice it too. most of the bounty today's are participated by cheaters. especially in telegram a lot of bots participants. but there are also some good Bounty managers that manage well their bounty.

This has been the trend when cheaters found their way to bounties and this could be the main reason as well why some bounties are not paying their participants because they noticed a lot of cheaters joining their bounties.

Managers can only do as much, it takes time for other members to hunt and find and report cheaters.

That's why nothing happens and it's been confirmed that when hunters get coins they will definitely sell them in their entirety while the coins in this low volume market won't reverse the value for the better, it will go down worse when mass dumping occurs, so that's how it feels in the bounty Disappointment must exist when working a few weeks but the results are never satisfactory.
Since there were many ICO scams in 2018/19, many bounties didn't get better I think because investors don't trust them anymore.

Nowadays its hard to find a legit bounties that will likely give you you a coins with value. Because many projects now are scam so its not surprising if majority of those users participating in bounties are low accounts. Plus thats the only choice left for accounts who didnt rank up after merit system is implemented or got red tagged. To make their accounts still useful, joining in bounties are their chance to possibly earn if they find a good project.

Most of the old users follow some good bounty managers to chose a safe campaign. First goal for them is to guarantee that the funds are secured by the reputation of the manager and that they will receive the payment. Then hope that the rewarded token will have a value and reach exchangers.
New accounts will lose a lot of time before knowing how to chose which campaign is worth joining.

Note that many projects paid participants with major coins.

indeed currently the bounty is experiencing a very significant quality decline where the average allocation is very small and the distribution is very complicated, not to mention many failed and scammed projects, but I not think the bounty is dead, maybe the crypto bounty is currently experiencing a bit decline because the crypto market is declining, I am very optimistic that in the future the bonus quality will increase again,

[nakamura12]

You don't need to be concern where those crowd from bounties are. They are most likely not interested in bounties anymore as many of rhe bounties are scam as said in previous replies. Even if the project is legit or real but still the project owner won't pay because of those cheaters and those who join without cheating will not paid also.

I'm sure every quarter of the year there is a time when bounties are no longer popular due to very small campaign allocations and due to the influence of bounty scams, but some parts of the bounty community remain solid in researching new bounties to find potential points as successful bounties

Currently there are some users in the forum who have no idea about the forum.As soon as they see the project, they join the project and start working. The project started working directly regardless of whether it was a scam or not.And now the bounty site is not like before. Now it has reached a much worse stage.

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.

The main reason for that is the fact that bounties offer their own token, whereas others offer real crypto. If someone told you that they will pay you million xcoin, or pay you $60 in usdt, which one looks more reasonable to you? I personally prefer the ones that I know how much I am getting paid. That way I know what I am getting into and at least there is no risk involved.

Plus, bounties are usually short term, even though there are a few with long term results, most of them happen within a month and leave if they can't get good results. Whereas casinos usually just keep doing it because it means they can grow big in the bitcointalk forum and get customers from here, even if they can't get big results today, the money they spend could be earned from all those gamblers that came in and gamble for many years.

They probably has decided not to support scam, fake projects and that is what majority of those Bounty projects are. I think some are still available and are working for the very little good Bounty projects regardless I may have not witnessed the bounty era but from read ups many lost capitals and even trust in Crypto-Curreny, so I can say the bounty sector has faded, it’s trust rating would be very low as of now.

2018 was good quality?!?  This forum has always been filled with bots or spammers well before 2018.  Offer a bounty and the cockroaches will come out of every corner.  It's no different now than it was in 2018 or even 2016 tbh.

[Kingairdrop]

Sorry to say this but i feel you are wrong about the account farming as regards bounty of 2018 and the bounty of today. Multiple accounts has been in existence way before now and the only thing you can say is the fact that there are more cheaters compared to before. It's actually no hard thing to fish out these perpetrators and get their account banned. I look forward to the bounty manager doing the right thing

Things are not the same even in other aspects so that's normal. The quality is still there but the engagement is what's low. Many
 people sometimes  get tired and drop off from performing their usual task.

April was good month for hunters and many good Bounty released. Bounty is useful for project SEO and trending. If the project has investor then I think it's goods for Project to run bounty. Some project have no marketing and community beside the Bitcointalk and we know hunters are not interested in presale which result a project failed.

How did you know that they are good bounties? Even the project doesn't have investors they can pay the user their native token to get investors to increase the activities in using bounty campaign, it is actually a good strategy if you don't have budget to pay the bounty hunters for their efforts to help the project.

[amihada]

most of the bounty projects now they are looking for reasons when their project is successful for example when their project is successful they make gradual distribution rules and they are when the distribution is in progress they take action not knowing the bounty hunters if we ask on telegram they release responsibility like the CITIZEN project .

[yayayo]

They are not dead but plague with scam projects that is looking for investors and scam them and some projects are just a copycat of good projects and the others are worthless projects that in just one look you'll know that it isn't going anywhere, but not all of the bounties are dead you can still spot some good projects that is worth joining.

ya.ya.yo!
