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

[Miaallen]

From my own side here, I still make something reasonable from few bounty campaigns out there, just many of these campaigns end up being a waste of time. The last one whose signature I made over $2,000 from, was neglected by high rank members of the forum and I took advantage of it. It ended up being the second best of my bounty campaign ever. Some campaigns still worth the time.

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.

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.

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.

It seems that with the greed carried out by these fraudsters we can take advantage by buying these tokens and when the price increases we must be able to sell them quickly before the whales sell all the tokens.
That way we don't have to worry about experiencing big losses as a result of the actions taken by fraudsters.

Indeed, on average those who intend to commit crimes prefer to use altcoins which are relatively cheap and have a lot of enthusiasts as their infrastructure to deceive investors and traders

Wow, you surprise me, while most people, including the legends on the forums, admit that bounty campaigns have become useless and are no longer bringing any return worthy of the effort hunters put in, you say you made $2k in a signature campaign. I am inquisitive about the name of this project because I have been following it continuously since 2020. Until now, there has been no bounty campaign that can bring such big profits. Did I miss something?

According to his posting history, the last bounty campaign he was was Kuwa.io. Spreadsheet shows that he has got 950 tokens. The highest token prices was in the middle of November and it was about $0.0068. Users wallet shows that his token value is about 4 cents right now (he did not sell them). Either he was talking about some other campaign, but definitely not about his "last".

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.

I stopped to work with non escrow campaigns, even i will join only those are already trading on the exchanges otherwise there are no guarantee to get payment end of the campaign. I heard this (KUOR) is rugged pull so that it’s going worthless, payment was escrowed but hunters got payments with no value on the market.

As a high rank forum member, I believe you should be able to do beyond shoddy research before making a conclusion. If you did research my past campaigns, you will see the KUWA campaign was left in just ⅓ participation when I saw it would amount to a waste of time like mentioned above.
One more thing you didn't consider in your research is that I said the campaign from whose signature I make over $2k was ignored by high rank forum members like you but on KUWA campaign, there were so many high rank members on the signature campaign.
Just like I said before, let's do more than shoddy research before drawing a conclusion, and I assure you that you'll find a worthy project to earn big from

1. No forum or organization is perfect or flawless. Spam and buying merit is one of the drawbacks of this forum, but at least with merit it can reduce the amount of spam.
2. An altcoin that doesn't have a price doesn't mean it's a scam or the team can't work. crypto market is very unpredictable, especially for new projects. it could be that the team has worked professionally and according to the road map but the unexpected market response has made the coin price drop or even worthless.
Crypto is full of risk guys...

Your account was created in 2020, which means you didn't participate in bounty campaigns at their most glorious time in 2017. If it's not the KUWA project @bakasabo is referring to, then you still haven't answered to tell us which project has brought you $2k since you joined the forum. I'm also really curious about that as I also haven't found another project that can bring such huge profits to bounty hunters, especially from 2020 till now.

Every bounty hunter has their own choice, and those you've mentioned are like the common denominators for most bounty hunters.
Escrow funds or tokens to make sure that you'll get paid no matter what happens to the project, there's the allocation ready to be there.
And at the same time, a good bounty manager is a good indicator but not guaranteed that the project or token is good.

We've seen though throughout the last couple of years that even having a good bounty manager doesn't mean that you will be paid. Even the experience one are getting scam as well and it did affect the reputation of some of the bounty managers that their good name was tainted with negative trust and even disappear already from this community.

I'm not sure how much bounty hunters are earning now, but with the way the landscape has change since 2017, not that big though. It's better to learn from this community first and learn how to trade or just join bitcoin paying campaign, just saying.

$2000 is a lot of money for signature campaign work for rank members. and for campaign projects that appear in 2021-2022 I am quite surprised if you get $ 2000 from signature campaigns.
because in the 2021-2022 era, almost several bounty projects only allocate prizes with very small amounts and if you get $ 2k from signature I'm really shocked.
many other members almost can't believe it because of the poor bounty project a few years ago it was so bad the payment was so small.
if you give permission, please list the project. so that all of us here can believe in something you say here

[Victorik]

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.

I am a bounty Hunter and I most say that in all honesty, it has been a frustrating experience participating in bounties these days. Sometimes you work for weeks and then the project ends up not paying, and even when some pay, the token never gets listed and when they manage to list, the price pool at the end of the bounty campaign become so meagre that it almost worth nothing.

[abel1337]

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?

This is the exact thing I'm seeing on the current altcoin bounty projects. There should be a sort of bounty management alliance that makes project owners required to put an escrowed stable coin that is calculated over the expected or planned bounty joiners. This is a good measure if ever the project flops or the owner run away which commonly happen nowadays. I think that publishing scam campaigns isn't that much helpful given that the project owners can easily make a project and make bounty hunters promote it again. We can see how easy to create an account here and make the things they are doing repeatedly. Though we can't control bounty hunters on joining potential flop campaigns knowing that some of them are doing it full time by having multiple accounts *I've been a bounty manager before that's why I know it. Also those managers who accepts potential flop projects since they make money there but I see it as a solution on current bounty campaign reward problems.

People love those campaign who pays surely that's why those campaign who have an escrowed amount of funds in bounty campaigns are filled so fast. People rushing participating in those kind of project because they see value in it, compared to those project that offers their native tokens that has the potential of having no value.

I don't see a good future on current altcoin bounty projects as a bounty hunter perspective. Too many project flops and some of them run away leaving bounty hunters no pay. It is too far from 2016-2017 bounty experience where majority of hunters are making quite reward from campaigns.

[Iadegbola34]

Most bounty rewards are actually not worth the effort nowadays. Majority of projects just give shit tokens that will never get to the market as rewards for bounty hunters efforts. And the ones that do get to the market are not as profitable as there is no limits to how many participants is reasonable for such bounty budget.

Imagine a project offering $2k as their bounty budget and the manager never closes registration till the end of the whole campaign and we have about 1000 participants on twitter category, over 500 article entries, how much would each hunter get at the end of the day. Not much I'd say. So, it's really not worth it anymore.

As a newbie, what people say hear as regards bounty earnings in the past few years is no longer encouraging. I doubt a time of earning good pay will ever come again as the number of hunters increase everyday.

Also, consider the market condition. Because as I remember before, there are a lot of bounty hunters becoming instant rich during bull market because most of their campaigns even shitcoins projects, are making a good amount of money. But when the bear market started, you can't earn the same during the bull market, and also a big lose for those hunters who tend to hold their bounty coins instead of selling them.

[My ThuiHa]

I open bounty forums every day, but I don't think I can start, I don't know how to choose the right one. I have very little experience and am still learning. I hope that the projects I find can last for a long time. See everyone discussing that the bounty campaign was the peak six or seven years ago...

You can do any campaign you want. There are not so many bounty campaign right now to be extra selective. Only few new campaign appear every day, so test your luck with each and every of them.
Just plain numbers - I have earned few hundreds during 2022, but I was selective and probably participated in 15 or 20 campaigns only. I have earned several thousands in 2021, but I think I took part in 50+ social media campaigns. In 2023 - you should join every single bounty to get any significant result.

You sound like a real newbie, completely unaware that the number of bounty hunters is by no means an indicator of the success of the projects in which these hunters participate. You can even say that today, people have become more pessimistic, and few people are willing to advertise every second project that appears in which these hunters participate. And that is, only those who somehow poorly or well understand how to check out new companies remain.
Also, many understand that the time of the bounty has already passed, having occurred five years ago, and there is absolutely no hope for a return. People do bounties out of inertia, showing that they are not able to do anything else. And this is very sad.

[Reid]

I stopped supporting them years ago because of the fact said by OP. It's worthless, they don't even pay most of the times, they do shitty projects that has no future, they just run a scam project and run whenever they want. All the efforts in promoting them is just trash and worse, you are the one who will blamed by investors who believed about it.
In the past, there are legit developers who seeks a good future in cryptocurrencies, now, its all just about the money and it's sad.
