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

[DanWalker]

I will agree with you that the projects that started the bounty campaign are junk projects without any value. Nowadays, most good projects no longer use forms of marketing spam such as social network spam, it no longer works. Potential projects are now receiving great attention and investment from angel investors, and VCs... like the projects of Aptos or Sui, there is no need for marketing, but investors who want to make a profit have to find those projects themselves. Bounty campaigns became obsolete and died when the ICO died.

@examplens, I think this topic is going to be a rather useless topic, as far as I can see here, no one is actually a bounty hunter answering. This is reasonable. Why bounty hunters don't have discussions on this board? because it would be useless for them. They usually only participate in social media campaigns, and the mandatory thing they have to do is report their posts on social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. But I will try to get them here to give their response to your question, hopefully they will share their experience.

Special Mention: @Shanta656, @oashim74, @main34, @munni1272, @Oppo100$

I've also PMed all five of them, I hope we get a good response from them and hopefully @examplens gets what he's hoping for.

I tried to be a bounty hunter in 2016 to 2017 and after that in 2018 many new projects came out and 80% scam and I decided to move into gambling.

in 2016-2017 at that time the bounties that I participated in were only a few and didn't make much money.
but after few years when i joined bounty in 2017 paid using NFT with amount of 5 NFT in 2021 it cost around $60000, for me it was a big amount.

so as long as I joined the bounty from 2016 to 2017 it didn't generate much.

[Bitcoin1216]

I followed a few bounty since the last 3 months, I followed 2 bounty and everything from the signature campaign, at this time there was no payment and if 2 bounty was paid the possibility of getting around $ 50, this was because I saw the bounty session at this time was very difficult because there were many projects It is also difficult to collection of money from ICO so that payments to participant bounty are also very small.

[forexandcryptoauditor]

From my experience(without spamming the forum, without creating multiple accounts and without buying the merits(see my merits, lol)), it's possible to earn thousands.
The thing is, it's not up to what amount we get but it's up to how much it got converted later. For example, I had received $125 worth tokens for one the project. When I hold it for one year, it became $4000 worth tokens.
So it's how project behaves in project.
Summary, I still see every effort worthy for any bounty programs.

[bakasabo]

I have been participating in nearly all bounties by julerz12, and some other reputed managers, which means I havent participated in much bounties this year, and I could say that totally I have earned around $100, maybe $150 this year from participating in twitter and facebook bounty campaigns. Not much, previous year was definitely much better.

[Bobrox]

Become bounty hunter nowadays is not running well actually with payment reward, many participants seems try their lucky with signature service and have forget joining with Altcoin bounties. I think many bounties campaign don't have expected payment reward after distributing.
I ever checked with las bounty campaign have payment under $3 for signature campaign participants and lower than $1 for social media campaign.

After era 2017 all bounties campaign not running well and have lower payment received, I think waste time have to create multiple account for joining bounties campaign with reward like this.

[irsykes]

2017 was a bounty with a large prize of up to thousands of dollars that I had received at that time, entering 2019 very few projects have succeeded in turning into money. and at the end of 2020 another bounty started which was quite interesting and successful, such as the DIA project, the CARTESI bounty which was developed by a bounty manager with a good reputation. can develop long term until now

[vanesha]

even some of my friend's friends have started to leave crypto. Those who were originally with me on this bounty hunter forum actually prefer to work outside because the bounty has a very low fee. not only that, in fact we sometimes have to accept scams when the project disappears.

2016 to 2018 are the best years to be in a bounty campaign, all projects are good the allocation equals your one month's salary or even more in your country I have 8 campaigns back then where I managed to build our house through my rewards and set up a store but now with so many bounty hunters coming and just joined just any bounty with no good projects to promote bounty hunters can hardly earn $100 a month, the altcoins are saturated and many investors lose and continue to lose money.
Their confidence in altcoins has to diminish, it's only a matter of time before we see the end of bounty hunting.

[Strongkored]

Why do many use multiple accounts because bounty hunters believe that this method can allow them to get more prizes which is very much the opposite to those who only have one account.
I'm sure this has gone down a lot from what they got when the ICO was still booming, maybe from The 10 bounties they participated in were only 1 or even none of them produced so it's really gone down very far, but because new projects are still popping up, some of the existing projects are still holding bounties, so the job as bounty hunters in this forum is still in demand.

[Jackl87]

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?

It always depends on which bounty you are part of obviously. I know people here in this forums that made like 3-4 bitcoins with the Chipmixer bounty campaign before they changed the term during the bullrun of 2020/2021. This means those people made like 200k $+ in they have sold those BTC when they were at the ATH. Of course this is a very rare exception and only a handful of people very this lucky. Now the chipmixer campaign is still the best paying in this forum as far as i know. They are payign 6$ in BTC per post for a maximum of 50 posts each week. This means you can make 300$ each week or 1200$ a month in this campaign. This is more than most people earn with a full time job in 3rd world countries.
Of course it is almost impossible to get into that campaign.

although it is much different from the previous era, what I hope is that when the bull season comes, we must start to change. 2020 has started projects that are not clear that they can generate dollars just because of the effect of the bull season. and conversely bear season comes a project literally turning to ashes rarely being the project's success

It's significantly lower than what we had in 2016-2017 era where ICO was first announced. You could had gotten more than 10X than the initial value of those tokens/coins when they were getting listed at exchanges and the bounty rewards were incredibly high at that moment. But in this year, you can still get money from bounties but it's really low and if you see the value of those tokens currently, they are laughable.

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.

Correct and they ended up scamming the investors and steal their money most of the time.

For the past two years, doing bounty has been so hard but some still get a lucky shot and being able to participate on a good projects that gave a huge airdrop. My earnings is not that big, maybe around a thousand since I was able to secure some spot on a good bounty and I was able to win some in the contest. Even if the market is still on a bear market right now, I will continue to do bounty hunting because I know good projects will still come in this market, we just need to be more patient for that.

As @examplens said, participation in signature campaigns is not discussed. Can you tell me which altcoin bounty campaign in the last 2 years has brought you big profits? I also regularly follow the bounty campaigns on the forum but to be honest, I have never seen a project as good and profitable as you said. As I said: good projects don't work on the forum, and they don't want spam marketing anymore. Only junk projects with no money to build use this marketing, but at the same time, scammers don't pay hunters.

And that money that you earned was for a whole year of work? Because that seems like a lot of work for not much money, there was a time when bounty campaigns were very profitable for bounty hunters, but since then things have changed dramatically, as not only finding a good bounty campaign is getting harder every day, but at the same time even if you could select a good bounty there is no guarantee that you are going to be paid for your efforts, as developers could always refuse to pay you for whatever reason.

[cryptoaddictchie]

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.

As long as they dont spam actually its fine. But nevertheless we cant categorize everybody right? Some lower rank and even newbie who have sincere approach to posting can be seen also. But I am pertainign to those who are obviously posting for signature requirements. Sometime its on the manager as well the problem. Might as well only hired managers that responsible for campaign if I were the project owner.

~snip~

Right now bounty programs are not that worth it since a lot of fake accounts join in and low rewards compare to years ago, Also many new projects end up scams when their bounty program ends so we got trash tokens from the project. For the last two years I have collected more than 150+ trash tokens. Well, since the bounty program only fills my spare time besides my real work then it's not a big deal.

[Xal0lex]

This has long been of no value and the time spent will never pay off. All projects have long since moved beyond such bounties and moved to various services that support web3. All activity and promotion has long been concentrated there. I don't understand those people who in 2022 are looking for their 2016, hoping to go back in time and make money the same way it was fashionable in 2016 or 2017, spending hours of their lives to get 10 miserable dollars six months later.
