Are bounty programs or airdrops more profitable to participate in?

[ultrloa]

Of course, the current condition of Bounties and Airdrops is not good because the market trend is red, this is what makes us have to be selective to choose bounties because most bounties do not pay and make many top managers leave bounties.

If you only look at here on this forum for sure you will not find any good airdrops running because mostly what devs offer here are scams since they want free advertisement. But if you look more wider and try those testnets where they give tokens in return nor even require you to use Opensea or any other things which you can mostly see them on twitter then maybe you can still say that there are still airdrops which is good to try or have.

Even if the market is good there are still fake projects and there are bounties that will not give you anything, gone are the days when every project you participate in will perform well in the market, I used to participate in so many bounties where the project looks good and promising but end up neglected and scam, bounties, and airdrop now are like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get.

I participated a bounty campaign for eight weeks Lo and behold my total reward or earning was less than $20 even after waiting for so long for the token to be listed in an exchange, that is the situation of bounty hunters now uncertainty in the future of the project they are promoting, there are scenario where some of those projects are abandoned after listing thus it's price becomes worthless, I think bounty campaign can't be very rewarding like before, worst of it is airdrops which no values unlike when bitcoin reached ATH in 2017, airdropping is a waste of time and efforts now.

I think he was talking about signature campaigns that pay weekly in BTC. They are usually found in Services section, but often require rank Sr. Member to be able to apply. Campaigns like mine for example. Such signature campaigns are probably the only one that are profitable right now, as regular bounties that pays in altcoins are dead or worthless.

Of course, everyone believes in the ones that pay in BTC or usdt or anything guaranteed a lot more, why would anyone trust the ones that are paying very low, and in tokens that will go down? I rarely ever join one, I think I may never join one again in the future ever again, because there is a very low chance it would ever pay you. This is why the ones in the services section is much better, they pay you in crytpo that you know of, not the ones that they are creating themselves.

There are people saying "500 thousand dollars worth of tokens!!" when in fact they just printed it, so there is really no worth to it, so it’s all made up by them and could be 5 bucks instead.

in general bounty programs and airdrops can both give away crypto for free, and I think this is a very effective way to get prizes that can make you rich, but since the crypto market is in a prolonged bear market method, very much Bounty participants stop for a moment, because bounties and airdrops have no potential and certainty at all, and prefer to buy coins to invest.

I see what you are saying but I think you are being a bit myopic. You should be accumulating as much crypto as possible during the bear market, whether you are buying it or participating in airdrops or bounties like the CNDL one. In a bull market you can easily see your investments 10x. What seems like a little right now, a 500 usd bounty reward for example, could easily turn into 5k usd in a bull market. So no, I don't think its a waste of time if you find the right projects. Just take a minute to research before you sign up for anything.

If it doesn't take up too much of your time, I suggest you participate in bounty and airdrops. Some bounties and airdrops make regular payments even though it is a bear market. Of course, there were projects that delayed their payments during this period, but they honestly explained their reasons.

It's been a while since I've seen a bounty or airdrop campaign that could bring significant profits to hunters. Could you please point me to some bounty and airdrop programs that still pay regularly in this bear market? I am inquisitive and want to know.

It appears that the golden age of bounty and airdrop campaigns has ended with the death of ICO, and the hunters are no longer able to earn a profit from them.

I have asked same examples in this and similar topic and no one, that state bounties and airdrops are still worth participating, game me anything. As a proof, other people mention 2018-2019 bounties and 1inch airdrop. But that is past. Now, no one would give such large amount of money for free or easy tasks.

"Death of ICO" is the best historical point when bounties became no longer profitable. Now, projects dont raise millions, they dont have huge budgets, we dont have frequent random project pump and dumps - no way bounties can bring good money now.

That's certainly true but you need to research the project before you jump in and start working. Metamask for example promised an airdrop and that's a huge legitimate project. Candle Chain is an L1 EVM compatible chain and its also paying out weekly. Be careful though as a lot of people on this board have been burned doing bounties only for the tokens to be worthless or losing time because the founder of a project refuses to pay them. It's a mixed bag but there are some gems out there, like the 1inch drop.

Red or green market, it is always advised to do a research and to be very picky when it comes to joining a bounty because scams don't choose a time/condition. For the airdrops, I think it's okay if you can just randomly join any because they are not that hard to complete and you won't feel bad if ever you won't get paid. Market might be red but there are bounties which pays with stable coins.

If you prefer non stable coins, you must accept that the price of the coin can dump but like what you are doing with btc and other top cryptos, you can also prefer to hodl your bounty rewards for a while till the bull run returns. See if its value would also improve.

Projects will still raise millions of dollars, even hundreds of millions of dollars without going through ICO fundraising, raising capital from small investors. Now the projects are good enough and have unique ideas, they will easily raise capital through venture capital funds, angel investors, sponsored by exchanges...so they don't need bounty and airdrop programs to promote their project. If you notice, the projects that run the bounty campaign are mostly junk projects, imitation projects and nothing special from a large team, idea or investment fund.

Maybe a good strategy then is to sell half and hold half of each bounty you get. If you received 500k CNDL for example, you could sell 4k usd worth and stake the rest and sell at the peak of the next bull run in Q4 or Q1 2023. This way are rewarding yourself for the time you took doing the beta test and you have the potential to earn a lot more.

I agree with you it is better to sell half bounty reword instantly and hold rest half. Because many times pump many coins after selling them.  We only have to regret seeing it then. But not all coins will be like this.  Many bounty coins become scams after being on the market for a while. So after receiving the bounty payment it is better to sell half or 75% of the coins immediately and hold the remaining coins.

I can say the "Bounty Detective" team is the regular paying team right now. Besides, the "Brainboss Bounty Group" team also makes regular payments. I occasionally participated in bounty campaigns for quality projects. Of course, there is a serious decrease in bounty campaigns these days.

I can still recall being one of CBs management back in the days. Not sure about those bounty groups that you are talking about since I do not join those, but CB is really organized when it comes to handling his participants.
It was 777coin campaign back in the days, if you're curious.

Bounty payments are actually given by the project team. But here managers also have some contribution.  As many bounty managers deal with bounty reward escrow. such as Brainboss and Bounty Detective always guaranteed bounty rewords it means they also take escrow. So bounty hunters are more interested in their campaigns

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll look into it. You also researched the bounty managers I mentioned. By the way, testnet and node testnets have been attracting a lot of attention lately. Some node-setups are very easy. You can also review them.

Not anymore if you ask me. Bounties and airdrops are designed in a way that the project would make you work as hard as possible to get big, and then pay you peanuts or even maybe not pay you at all. There isn't a solid logic behind it anymore.

If it is a 100% legit place, you would work hard, and then get paid like 1-2 month down the road after your job is done, and that would be in vesting, so you would get paid in like 6 installments and all would be like 10 bucks at the very best. Why work so hard to get paid 10 bucks a month 2 months later? That is why it makes no sense to me to invest any time into bounties anymore, they are definitely not worth it.

Gone are the days or golden years of bounty hunting which i could say on that 2016-2017 time as far as i remember where bounties could give out possible income of thousands of dollars in a short time but now it cant really be just possible.If we do tend to look at on how many shitty projects we do have in the market plus having those scams and frauds around then its no surprise that investors would really be in big hesitance on supporting projects or funding it thats why the lesser projects do become successful but of course there are some exemptions to that and its up to someone if they are able to bare the risk and odd chance of success
of bounty hunting nowadays but i would honestly say that it isnt really that worth for the time and effort to be put up thats why you should think twice on making considerations.

I agree with you but on the other hand, I found that CNDL coin one that is paying out, so there must be others providing generous rewards too.

I've been participating in bounties and doing airdrops rarely since 2018. Cant say that I am rich. During these years I have learned, that holding coin or token, received from bounty or airdrop is a big no, as with every market mood change, this alts price never recover. What I am trying to say, that bounties and airdrops wont make you rich. If by the moment reward is distributed you altcoin did not make you rich, dont expect to become one in future. With current bounty budgets, chances of becoming rich is close to zero.

The same thing happens to me as well. Holding coins from bounty campaigns is a misconception, most of them will be dumped and they will never be able to recover. 

Nowadays, it is almost time consuming to participate in a bounty campaign, and the reward we receive is not worth the effort we put into it. Gone are the days when bounty or airdrop made us rich.
