Bounty hunters, how much you really earned in the last two years?

[examplens]

I see that there is still a big rush on bounty programs. I wonder if it's worth the effort.
spamming the forum, creating multi accounts, buying merits... is it really worth that much?

as far as I've seen, most of all "projects" are mostly worthless and their tokens most often never reach any value. that's why they're called shitcoins for a reason.
I would like some of the bounty hunters to share their personal experiences and state publicly how much real (tangible) money they managed to earn from participating in these campaigns. Of course, using only one account and following the rules of the campaign.

I am not referring to tokens that have value only in the whitepaper, so only what has been converted or can now be converted into Fiat, Bitcoin or some stablecoin. also, earnings from bitcoin signature campaigns are not the subject of this discussion.

Hard to tell and hard to announce. But I'd say it is not as high as with the rewards way back 2017 from campaigns. Most projects are now paying on a weekly and usd based so it is somehow fixed. Way back years before, payments were in the projects's token which makes the pay out or reqards bigger especially once the token they are promoting is released in the market. Quite unfortunate as well for those who has low ranks in this forum because rewards are a bit small and sometimes they do not qualify to the campaign. On the other hand, I am stillthankful for the payong projects nowadays because it gives participants something to be greatful of despite of the bad market situation.

It's still a thing and profitable venture? I think participating on new token airdrops and grinding to get that whitelist on NFT then flip it later on when it get listed was more profitable than this. I think some are worth it for those that are managed by well known managers but I'd say 90% of what we see on bounty board are not.

[asyakashi]

I say it's very declining. when compared in 2017 and 2018 I can even easily hundreds of dollars in one project but since 2020 until now maybe even just once a year earn hundreds of dollars. But whatever it is we should be able to be grateful and continue to work.

I was attempting bounty hunting back in 2016-2017 in 20 something number of projects after which I stopped participating in them. Till date those shitcoins are in my ethereum wallet and only one of those projects have given me decent returns, that is BCDiploma token/EvidenZ (BCDT). I was able to sell a stash of them at the all time high and have been holding to the other half of the stash for even more gains in future. The second one would be Viberate (VIB) which was an additional payment on a signature campaign, but have performed much better previously after launch and then went to dumps only to reincarnate a few months back.

To be honest, these are needles in a haystack and I therefore dont recommend and neither do I myself participate in these campaigns. But I doubt any of those bounty hunters are actually going to read this and write a comment.

Yes still does. But if it about signature I think the campaign should be limited to such higher rank who can do a proper posting. I dont know, but I think that managers should discourage the participants of newbies and lower rank since they might spam a lot on the forum. Leaving the threads with spam post and signature quota.

Some of them are worth it but i wouldn't recommend anyone saying how much they made especially lately. I've seen enough hacks using social engineering to hack emails and clear accounts. Projects that pay with liquid altcoins like btc or eth are worth it, but when they pay with their own tokens it's a gamble. I mean i have made a lot in the past with those too (all gone now). Sometimes you can even hit the jackpot when there are for some reason not enough participants and your stake can be worth a lot. And after that you just hope that the project will get picked by a whale.

Also i have seen how many bounty program just out right lies. That they have a $200k usdt budget without escrow, or that $200k usdt is actually in worth of their own token. Or even that they will pay after they get the money after ico, which obviously wouldn't happen even if they raised money.

This was among the mistakes made by bounty managers, as they do not set a limit on the number of participants. There can be a $2,000 budget, and more than 10,000 members participate in the signature campaign and other campaigns. In the end, each participant gets project tokens and their value is not equal to a dollar. Unfortunately, the idea of participating in bounties these days is useless and a waste of time. There are even bounties that last for many weeks, and in the end, they do not pay the hunters, or the hunters get shitcoins by promoting these scams and failed projects, so before you work in one of the bounties, you must review the project first and details of the bounty and the allocated budget, because not every bounty will be profitable for those who work on it.

Back around late 2017 when I tried a bounty specifically signature campaign bounties since I do not have a lot of followers in my social media profile that time, I think I only earned around <$20 when I sold my tokens from a bounty in here, not that I did care anyway since it was like trying get my feet wet on how much do altcoins usually get worth after ICO ends. I believe I was a Member rank that time. It ain't worth it. $20 might be have a bit of more value here in my country considering that I live in a 3rd world country, but I would rather just freelance than doing that.

Can't imagine that there would be users going really far to break the rules like you mentioned on the first part just to pursue those while plenty of opportunity awaits outside.
Instead of pursuing bounties further early 2018, I just invested my time to learn web dev. Way more fun!

Yes, there are many bounty campaigns right now but that doesn't mean that it's profitable for bounty hunters it's not, I have friends who are active in bounty campaigns and they earned $10 to $50 for two to three months from the so many campaigns that they've participated in.
Some of the reasons are the project failed to get funded and the developers abandon the project, the project gets funded and gets in the market but the participant's shares are peanuts because they accept thousands of participants and their allocation is a few thousand worth of their token and when you trade it on the market you are still at loss with the transaction fees.
Altcoins bounty hunting is already dead.

If this is 2017 - 2018, a lot of people here probably made tons if they are consistently doing the bounties. If it's in 2020 to present, obviously there will be little to none. Most bounties switched to USD in paying their bounty hunters which kinda diminished the potential earnings of bounty hunters. Switching the pay to fixed rate kinda destroyed the bounty hunters' economy and gigs, and those who remained are those who do not do much for work really because the pay became awful and is no longer something worthwhile for most people.

Bounties that are paying tokens doesn’t care that much about the rank as long as they can comply with the rules then it can be good. Quality managers will always choose the best participants to represent the project. For the past 2 years I was not able to participate on many bounties but I can still say that profit is still good and I’m hoping for more profitable years because bear market also affects the reward of the bounties.

I believed there are projects that are still worth it during the last 2 years but we really need to hear some feedback from those active bounty hunters themselves. Or maybe those popular bounty managers have information on whether their hold projects began to establish a good run when listed on the market.

But one thing is for sure, gone are those days when even a project has no good use case always reaching its hard-cap targets.

However, it's a good thing that their hype is gone since it also lessens the activities of those sh*t owners and developers.

Those days won't come again. The ICO days, because projects came up without any use case, but they gave good return on the investment. The adoption and the usage of cryptocurrency increased all of the sudden and the market getting exposed made the way for the new projects existence in a perfect way.

Not even 10% would've been earned by the bounty hunters compared to the year 2017. During those days people used to show much interest on bounties than bitcoin paid signature campaigns and now things have changed completely.

Remembering those year 2016-2017 years where everything is really on hype from ICO and into those bounties and to those airdrops and everything on which prices are really soaring up like crazy.
Lots had made out huge money out of those free coins but in the end, lots had lost their money into those ICO investment.I dont know if there are still people who do bounty hunting nowadays
because if you do look into the bounty board or threads which there are lots still of new projects launching up their own bounties. Didnt check if those participants are real ones
or just simply those bots which im not really that surprised for those peoples dedication on hitting at least a good one, but i would  definitely say that it isnt
really worth nowadays.

[goinmerry]

Because of this question, I've now become curious about what are those projects that held a bounty campaign before here that becomes successful during their ICO but still kicking up today. Does someone know about some of these projects?

Not talking about those successful projects only on ICO but those projects that really becomes popular but are now nowhere to be seen today.

Really hard to trust a project that comes from only pure hype.

[Oceat]

I've read some of the replies on the other thread that they did earn profit from a 4-6 weeks bounty campaign but I don't know the year or maybe it did happen in the past where bounty hunting was a thing. But for now, I think it's rare to find a worthy campaign for bounty hunting since most of them ended up as a shit coin on their wallet that has no value at all or no exchange's listing their token.

Since the scenario will always be like this: if you are an investor of this token (probably the dev) you will probably be the first one to dump everything you hold when the listing begun and all that's left in the market was for the bounty hunters waiting for their token to be sold because they can't sell it yet after receiving the token.

Maybe it's different now from what I know in the past.

[BitDane]

I got disappointed by the previous bounty campaign I participated with that is why I stopped participating in the forum for more than a year and do things outside the blockchain community.  Prior to the latest bounty campaign I joined, I earn almost nothing making my time wasted in joining these bounty programs.  Some of the paid while some of the didn't.  And those that paid often do not get into listing in exchanges and become worthless overtime.

I agree with the post above me, there are still worthy project being launched from time to time but it is very difficult to tell since most project have the same approach strategy.

[tokyohd]

You are right, the bounty campaigns over the last two years have very low budgets and most of the campaigns are scams.
If this continues, bounty hunters will disappear from the forum.

[Jawhead999]

Reading the whole posts, only @asyakashi is answering the question in this thread while the others only discuss about the 2017-2018 payment during ICO hype, I mean everyone already know it is? It's an irrelevant answer since we're not only compare the recent payment with the 2017-2018 payment, but the question is how much the bounties payment right now? as simple as that.

Also I will say users who answer this question while he's joined a signature campaign paid with Bitcoin is liar sine they're not join the bounties lol.
