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

[masulum]

Well, Actually will depend on how much allocation and how much member who joined the campaign. From my last campaign, for 6 weeks, member can get $400, Of course this is not good amount if compared to current signature campaign with BTC. but if member can filter the campaign I believe it can be more than $400. Unfortunately, current bounty hunter just trying to join any campaign without considering how much money they get with total participants since most of bounty campaign calculate the reward with stake system not fixed rate. So, i believe if they can find a good campaign, in last 2 years someone can get over $1500.

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.

I saw on the forum today that 120,000 fraudulent tokens have been issued this year. I wonder how many of them tried to advertise here on our forum? I think it's a sufficient number. The market has become very crowded with all sorts of garbage, and more often than not, such garbage is tried to advertise through the most accessible ways. The form of bounty that is common on this forum is just right for such cheap and quick distribution.

In my opinion, Bounty performance in terms of budget and payment to hunters has been on the decline for the past 10 months. Out of many campaigns that I have participated in (for the past 10 months), only about 5 campaigns made payment in the range of $10 to $40, while two campaigns paid in the range of $200. Most of the payments are less than $1. On the average, for every ten projects that I have participated in, five ends up being scam, or will have one issue or the other despite doing some research on the project before participating.

I observed that project owners are the most free entities, because it seems there is nothing to hold them. I have participated in over 15 campaigns that ends up with the project owners refusing to pay, or simply refusing to communicate and that is it. Many campaigns end up just after one week, and no payment. Bounty hunters, in my opinion are really being exploited. Sometimes I wonder if bounty hunting has become a charity of some sort because they end up not getting rewarded in many instances. There is hardly any payment being made. I have observed two scenarios: Listed tokens either pay peanuts (usually less than 5 USDT worth of tokens) or they will keep holding the tokens for several months, even though they are listed; the other scenario is to pay tokens that are yet to be listed.

My other observation includes: Some projects hold on to listing for many months waiting for the bull market; Some escrow projects end up paying worthless amount of tokens some not even up to $1. In my opinion, bounty hunting is dying and even participants are declining. Hunters only look out for few campaigns by some managers that may fetch some fair campaigns. I will suggest publishing scam campaigns in this forum so as to serve as a caution to project owners who now have freedom to do as hey want and nothing holds them. They waste people time and go freely. Secondly, why is it not possible to make all campaigns escrow? Unlisted tokens should pay in USDT - on a fair budget. Hunters must not wait for years to get their rewards because the token they promoted have not been listed. IMO, I think hunters task is more to promote the project than an investor so why won't they be rewarded timely?

Nowadays have many bounties campaign increasing drop bounty budget payment for participants, usually each bounty allocated about 2% until 5% from their coin supply distributing to bounty participants. Last two years all bounties have allocation budget for bounty reward with stable coin values under $10,000 but distributing trough altcoin bounty project, when price listing in the market drastically drop reward and each participants get not higher above $10.

Beside many project not reach their goals with pre sale become problem why less budget or reward distributing for bounty participants, I think most important with project advertising become success and get higher reward later with bounties campaign.

@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.

I believe that most bounty hunters don't even go beyond that section, many have difficulty communicating in English so I accept that as an explanation for why we did not get an answer to the question from the first post. honestly, I can't even say that I'm particularly surprised.

the majority of people on this topic don't provide relevant responses according to what you want to know, some share old experiences (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019), some provide predictions regarding how much bounty hunter earnings have been in recent years. Even so, it looks like we have 1 relevant response from @bakasabo, hopefully we'll get more bounty hunters sharing their experiences.

They're just totally not worth it and most of the bounties are in drought unless they'll give the rewards into more rewarding coin like bitcoin, ethereum or any other coins that has liquidity. But if it is their tokens, then the fate of it is most likely known because of the bear market.

Well, since the bounty program only fills my spare time besides my real work then it's not a big deal.

There are people that have treated it as their full time commitment and they're wrong on doing that because the glory days of bounties are done. And if they'll earn some on it, it's very minimal so, just as you've said it's only an incentive and has to be done with spare time.

[bettercrypto]

If I am going to compared it into 2017 it was very far, due to mots of the bounties at the moment are not really good in terms of the seriousness to their projects. Aside from that their token as well has no sense at all they are only good for the hype and promises.

Moreover, if ever there is a project will give the rewards to their participants the distribution coin was very minimal and worst the value is very low.

120k? Hory Sh8t that's a lot. We obviously don't need much of that tokens but we already have most of our need in the existing tokens that we see today. The numbers grow so fast because those devs didn't think hard anymore but they just plagiarize other projects and do a little modification in the code, name and some details.

Some bounty hunters in our forum said that the numbers of bounties are declining, I think that tells that only a few percent of that 120k tokens are being promoted in the forum. They know that they will get busted here easily because we have a lot of scam busters here. I bet most of those have landed in telegram and in twitter since they are less regulated there.

@Oneandpure I have not participated in bounty before but statistically what you are saying is right, if a project without solid stability plans has the token listed on the exchange before rewarding their market which percentage of reward received during the counties duration is 2% or above let say up to 5% of total token supply the team will likely not pay since their know the impact that will have on their market value since there already have an exit plan, so the bounty hunter will get a relatively low payment equivalent in US dollar that is the reason you see lower pay as reward some as low as 10$-15$ this is bad but since bounty requires little efforts from the hunters and the shitcoin scammer's project team members, already are aware of the high rate of cheating via multiple accounts, bot/fake social media followers in their bounty program will not want to reward for a job not done and since the project team already know this the treat bounty hunter with high disdain.

[JunkieMiner]

The reward that was in the last year two years was much more than now, some of them are due to the bear market, some of them are due to the scam projects and some of them are due to the shit coin etc. But in the previous year I had earned a lot from just one id and that was more than I expected. Point is that , through bounties we can earn a lot.

[naira]

I'm probably the least paying attention to the bounty campaign since 2020. To be honest, let alone joining and viewing the bounty-specific thread, it feels like there's no interest anymore. Bounties nowadays are always close to fraud or indeed 90% fraud, not like before. For now, it's hard to say it's worth it, let alone make a profit. The bounty era seems to no longer be a lucrative hunting sector. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, most of the famous Bounty Managers on this forum have sunk somewhere.

[uneng]

Some bounty hunters claimed to have made 100$-150$ yearly with bounties recently, but to reach a more precise conclusion, how long do they work to earn that sum of money? I guess it doesn't take an entire year to earn 100$-150$, right? Probably just few months. If that is really the case, these workers are still in a good position, because those amounts are really expressive and helpful for micro earners from poor countries.

On the other hand, if it really takes an entire year to earn only 100$, it's definitely going to be a waste of time, as it gives an average of less than 0,30$ daily for an intensive category of job.

[Hildentine]

The situation of last two years are so down compare to 2017 to 2020 because the last two years many projects are come but they still scam with us and many mangers can't distribute the reward in the end of Compaign .
And many projects are fail according the situation of market so i simply said that last two years some projects give him profit but many are scam with us.

[|MINER|]

Currently bounty campaigns are not profitable anymore. And who do I blame for this, now most of the projects are scam projects, and spam of bounty hunters, or those project managers who come up with campaigns for these projects? If I say these three categories are the reasons for the destruction of the Bounty sector. If we go back two or three years we can see that the authentic campaigns were profitable for the campaigners. But in the current situation it will be better to not waste your time in this bounty campaign.

[Argoo]

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.

Sometimes bounty hunters still get more or less good payouts. But they are already valued much lower than a few years ago. Now, I see quite often a $1,000-2,000 signing pool. And before it was several hundred thousand dollars. Considering that there are much fewer new useful ideas, often you don’t even want to participate in this.
Being on this forum, we will learn how the cryptocurrency develops and use this development for practical purposes. But in general, participation in bounty campaigns already largely depends on the availability of free time.

If we do say that bounty hunting is 100% shit then we wont be seeing some people who are engaging to it,although real users (not bots) are less in numbers comparable into those
 early ICO years where there are lots whom do consider on making some bounty hunting because of huge profitability probability which we do really target on.
In speaking about my own experience on doing bounties back in the past, then i had earned $1000-2000 as far as i remember and that was my last one and the
rest are just receiving peanuts or do even have still those trash tokens inside my wallet even up to now.

This could be a habit, a hope that "one day it will...", lack of alternative. I have noticed how my earning bounty has decreased from thousands, to hundreds, and are now tens of dollars. I keep on participating in bounties just by a habit. Now there are not so many projects that run bounties, and I have become more selective. So instead of participating 20 bounties, I participate in one or two. It takes just few minutes per day. I can allow to spend few minutes per day to participate in such lottery as bounty. I lose only few minutes; can get nice profit during next bull run, can get a zero. I dont know any alternative, where I can basically play lottery for free. Doing micro tasks can be an alternative, but take to much time to get a decent reward. In addition, that reward is constant, it wont multiply in case crypto market flies to the moon.

[pantek talacuik]

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.

It has happened, you can see for yourself that many people have started not opening their accounts or being active to view this forum. the sheer amount of work and the strict rules that were made might make it difficult for people to make a small profit for themselves. but some people take advantage if it's too easy. I'm starting to get dizzy what to do.

I had the same reaction when I read that figure, it is simply incredible but at the same time the greed of scammers is so out of control that it would not surprise me if this is in fact an accurate number, at this rate the number of altcoins released in a single year will be higher than all the fiat currencies that have ever existed, but that should show us how much of a joke the altcoin market has become during the last years.
