Are bounties dead?

[rahmad2nd]

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?

I dont think bounty hunters not doing good all the time ans also bounty manager doing good for checking bot and here is always proof of auth for checking bot. So its not the main thing people lost trust in bounty main thing is lots of fake project coming with bounty and they scam hunters after there project private sale ends!!

Almost bounties campaign need to create with #PROOF AUTHICATION OF  REGISTRATION that mean not any chance how to be cheater, depending with multiple account controlling by one person have tread discussion report it and right now keep effective. But I worry with several bounties still running as fake project when bounty ended never received payment yet. Not only bounty hunter scam by many project but also have investor when joining with private sell have been success but never have schedule for listing coin after long term waiting and bounty hunter worked almost several weeks promoting project but not received payment yet.

Many bounty pools and allocations cannot be guaranteed cause no escrow service. I trust @julerz12 because the bounty allocation is already stored in the escrow service

I appreciate the way how managers manage to escrow bounty. Even CryptopreneurBrainboss, bounty detective can be add in trusted list who escrow most of bounty. But as op says, good bounties are very few. Escrow will be worthless if that are shitcoins. You wouldn’t like to received so many shitcoins after done your tasked! Escrow is always good but need to analysis before join even if that is a escrowed bounty

alot potential bounty recently launched , or atleast in this year we see several campaign give worthed reward for its participants. doing research on projects whitepaper or actively in telegram group finding important update  will make us know is it good project or not.

I've been into bounties for quite a long time and keep participating in them. Recent projects that run bounties and where I took part did not bring superior results. I could say that I've got a standard payment for social media - about 20-50$ for participating in every social media campaign. I've noticed you have mentioned "potential bounties", but I havent found such lately. Maybe you could please share some project names, that have high perspectives?

20$ to 50$ for social media campaign was good amount for us.  better to never complaining about reward that distributed from developers team. if we agree to join in any campaign, it mean we accept all condition that maybe happen later, especially about token distribution that may delay or its value unworthed.

I think can't earn about $30 until $50 with social media campaign but different witj bounty manage by Detective. There have limit participants on Detective social media campaign and give good reward, but when have social media campaign without any limit participant difficult to earn until $50 on this time. Bit never give up we are bountu hunter participants and I think still have chance with bounty era like 2017 where getting higher reward.

I find Bounty Detective as a hyped manager. They have a reputation, charge a lot for management (just a prediction), but due to huge amount of participants, they campaigns are not profitable. I suggest to pay attention to CryptopreneurBrainboss campaigns. His bounty projects looks more promising. Also julerz12 is cool. From my experience, more often I receive rewards and they are traded on dex from campaigns these two manage, than from BD. I also remember, that campaigns from https://t.me/Aladd1nCenter (not a commercial), that distribute rewards to Coinsbit or Azbit, practically never scammed participants.

Yes, it needs to be appreciated with BM who have struggled to do before bounty to ask to do Escrow first, to prove the seriousness that bounty that will be carried out is really serious.
At least there is hope that it can be proven that there is good intentions to keep paying. Although it does not rule out the possibility like you said that it could be that what had been sent to Escrow was Shitcoin, so finally the same as fraud.

So Escrow is a form of responsibility that really needs to be continued even though it might be that later there will be shitcoin. But this is a progress that needs to be continued and if it can be added with full trust, for example Escrow must be in the form of USD that can be distributed if there is a deviation.

So bounty is not dead but is trying to continue to improve even though it may take time and all need to learn to continue to change.

Bounties sessions are still crowded, this proves that bounties are still alive, but for payment of course not as big as Bouuties in 2017 which at that time when I joined the signature campaign with a member level had earned more than $ 500 a month, while now it is very difficult for $ 100 per month though though Full member, an influential factor is a difficult project for a collection of money.

The bounty hasn't died, friends, many bounties have just made dollars, although now the bounties often change, change the rules, I mean there is a bounty that announces changes in regulations when the bounty is finished, such as the distribution time, they make changes to the rules, distributes gradually and many members who join the project are disappointed but not all such a bounty project.

It's going to be like that in the upcoming days and now that we are in a sort of non-greenish side of the market, there would be more scam bounties offering plenty of tokens but would turn out to be just a free advertising in the end and wouldn't pay in the end.
I am not sure why people are still pursuing this kind of thing to be honest.

Because many people expect a fair pay, but indeed it is difficult to analyze which bounty is good we all don't know and the average bounty is a project from the start that was built so it's good luck if the bounty promotion and after that it develops in the future, now we can't predict it.
If you want to keep getting paid, I think it's better to follow a bounty that has escrow like julerz12, I see all the bounties that are managed get a guarantee from him, all who participate must be paid.

Thank you very much, normally the rewards that come out of some projects are very few and those that pay well are too few, especially now that there is so much uncertainty in the market and the projects that come out AIRDROP style are not like in 2017, I think the trend of the projects will move towards buying in pre-sales and waiting for a public sale, normally that is what most people are doing, of course you have to have capital to be able to take the risk.

This so far is what I have seen in a glance that I have made to certain projects, of course not in depth.

Until now the bounty is still alive but only the payout factor has decreased compared to 2017 during the Ico hype, but certain bounty projects are still generating high income such as the last bounty hex and vulcan getting an estimate of more than $1k for the lowest income.

Bounty isn't dead yet, but it's clear that it no longer gives hunters the rewards they deserve. Participating in bounty campaigns just wastes your time and effort even many projects don't distribute the bounty after the end of the campaign.
I agree that there are still some campaigns that still give hunter rewards but very few, my advice is to only join bounty campaigns that already have escrow service.

[gazilla]

I think there are a number of reasons why this has happened. one of them being because the bounty workers kept getting screwed either by bounty managers or the project itself was a scam or did not succeed.

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?

They are still there I believe but most higher-level accounts now chose the type of Bounty they participate in, that is those Bounty campaigns that are run by well-known BMs and that are also mostly escrowed, and few that pay in BTC/Stablecoins. Of cause because of what bounty campaigns use to be, there are a lot of bot accounts hence making it look like it is a waste of time but there are still few good bounties offers here.

Compared to the past, bounty campaigns and payments are greatly reduced. Scam project spawn rate increased. However, sometimes participating in bounty campaigns of strong projects contributes financially. These projects make regular bounty payments.

ico projects today are not as numerous as in recent years, even if there are ico projects emerging today they are mostly pure scams.  (I'm not saying all ico) this is why there is a lot of negative reaction in the mainstream media to influence bad reputation on btc or crypto.  In the last three years there have been hundreds of ICOs that have turned into junk coins or scams.  so you should try to find opportunities other than being a bounty hunter

[JoyMarsha]

If the bear market keeps eating deep in crypto, we are likely not to have or see bounties again in this space because no project is willing to run a bounty that will end up not having investors. Bounties are like promotions to attract investors.
Although now, the pay is poor compared to the previous year(2017) when there are fewer participating bounty hunters

[reza7777]

maybe because the current bounty allocation is not as big as it used to be so many people leave the bounty and the bounty looks dead..

yes maybe only a few are here but most of them no longer join the bounty, they already have a lot of capital and they spend more time in the market
(like me, back again in this forum since today because my eyes is hurt to see the market now )

[udidrone]

I don't think it's about allocation, maybe because a lot of scammers give out prizes or results that aren't worth the effort. Bounties are still in demand and there are still many loyal ones who don't leave bounties, but it's different, now it's no longer with altcoin bounties, most choose signature bounties with clearer payments such as btc, usdt. It can be seen in the gambling thread, almost all of those who are active have or follow signature bounties, proving that bounties are still in demand but not altcoin bounties.

It may not be out of place to say that bounties are not as lucrative as they used to be and as such are not attractive enough to quality account holders who may have moved to other endeavors they consider more worthwhile. Though they're are still lucrative bounties but they are very few and may attract the few that are still in the the space.

[Widdop37]

Things will get roughed up in the bear market for bounty hunters as many new projects will have a harder time raising funds successfully, if a bounty hunter is smart he or she will only join projects from bounty managers that use escrow payment, this is the only sane strategy that can save bounty hunters in a bear market.

[bakasabo]

Take a number of bounties you have taken part, divide it to number of rewards you get and compare this number of number of listed and traded altcoins and that will be the answer to topic question. But the most correct answer will be "value of bounty campaigns are decreasing". Number of campaigns is decreasing. Bounty budgets are decreasing. Number of bounties that distribute  is decreasing. Number of listed on exchange bounty projects is decreasing. Bounties are alive, but barely breathing. Few more years and they would be completely dead.

[devil2man]

In my opinion the golden age of bounties has already ended a few years ago, their number has considerably decreased and the legendary trusted managers have largely disappeared, the new projects that come out on the crypto markets prefer other forms of advertising, the few that they still use the forum they pay very little and there is no certainty of their eventual future success, we need to look for other forms of income with crypto like mining, trading, investments
