What's highest amount you have earned from altcoin bounty?

[libert19]

Altcoin bounties are famous for being useless. However, there tends to be gems every once in a while, have you come across such any?

For me and from my memory of 5 years of alt bounties these three take the cake,

Jrt: Got 180k tokens of it with 100 eth value at one point of time, that would be ~$500k at ath, and still ~$100,000 eth.

Aave: Back then 'lend'. Had just got 87 tokens, sold it on etherdelta for pennies. However it reached $660 ath, that would be 57k.

Gold - stablecoin bounty, was part of it for 41 months. Highest payrate being $300/month. This might not be much, but I'd like to include it just because how consistent it turned out to be.


What are yours?

Wow thats amazing amount did you ever cashed out those at that value? Or just missed to sell it at that time?

Me too I had some lend but sold it out while still very cheap. One mistake I guess. But in memory I think got some tokens from a project that Ibsold for 0.4 btc and probably biggest just forgot the name. While other tokens are also good in amount and value.

If only hold at peak those precious airdrop from uniswap and others might have a good savings.

Zero, since the beginning I did not participate in any campaign in altcoins and therefore did not achieve any return from it.

I have heard some stories about profits amounting to a few thousand, but I somehow see that it is a risk where you do the work and wish success for the project, in order to get a good return.
Are you sure of these amounts?

When talking about bounties prize then the right time to sell the result will also determine whether it will get bigger or become ashes, I forgot the name of the coin but remember If selling when the price touches ATH will earn 48 BTC unfortunately don't have the patience to wait that time, what really pays off the big one is from XRB the result of solving the captcha is getting around 0.5 BTC because patient enough to keep it and sell when the price is high enough the rest there are many who give around $ 1,000 to $ 5,000, but the golden age is over

[blockman]

Wow, that's a lot that you've earned with bounties. How I wish that I'd earned that much too during the peak of ICOs and projects but I didn't earn that much.
I can't remember if there's an airdrop that I've earned a lot since I don't usually participant in it. I regret that I didn't even took time to join a lot of it when they're all giving free money.

[janggernaut]

Much lesser than you OP. Most of bounties i joined ended like dead token. But there is 1 coin i still remember until now, it's COBINHOOD. When i first get it, it was traded $1 ATH, i could earned $17,000 but i greedy and wait, and finally ended up nothing as i didn't sell and now it hasn't any value at all.

Aave: Back then 'lend'. Had just got 87 tokens, sold it on etherdelta for pennies. However it reached $660 ath, that would be 57k.

It was Ethlend, though. Rebranded to Aave and reduced their supply.

I think OP cashed out Jrt when its total $100k, but sold Ethlend on cheap price (since he said sold it for pennies), so he didn't get those $57k

[libert19]

Are you sure of these amounts?

Yes 100%, however I do not imply I got these amounts. Even with jrt I ended up with much less as I sold later.

Wow thats amazing amount did you ever cashed out those at that value? Or just missed to sell it at that time?

It's alright, it's more regret when you forget to sell at peak despite being aware of it (I got literally freezed with jrt that I did nothing) rather than not having at all.

Alts bounties are both useless and profitable if you are able to get into a good project and also hold to sell at the right time. I have also had my fair share of good alts bounties that end up bringing good rewards only that i did not exercise patience enough to sell at the right time.
Truth is, if you are lucky to participate in a good alts bounty, it surpasses what you will ever get in a non-alts bounty for a decade. But such bounties are few. 

[Pandu Geddon]

I am following 1 altcoin campaign. but it doesn't give much bigger than what I'm working with. I know not all altcoin campaigns end badly. as you follow, they pay you consistently.
but I still believe, now more altcoin campaigns don't pay properly. maybe now more people are working on airdrops than altcoin campaigns which have quite a long campaign duration.

[cryptoaddictchie]

but I somehow see that it is a risk where you do the work and wish success for the project, in order to get a good return.

The problem with altcoin bounties indeed. You need to hope for that project to succeed to maximize the bounty rewards. Its still a gamble actually and that is a choice of hunters. Unlike to regular btc paid campaign which is fixed. Altcoins can sometime have overwhelming rewards, and honestly its luck if you did choose a good campaign or project.

Way back 2018 or 2017 I've earned big time from Eidoo campaign; it happened that their token's market value and their project in general succeeded after their public sale. Also, payments were done before using projects' token. Kind of missing those days wherein payouts from signature campaigns could really allow an individual to make a living. At the present only high rank members of this forum or community qualifies for the strict requirements of new projects. But I did not find it alarming 'coz fortunately I am able to comply with those things. But still grateful for projects at the present which chose to continue with their projects inspite of what happened or what could happen to this industry.

[KiaKia]

You never invested any money why are you guys complaining that you sold too soon? All you did is dedicate your time to spread the news about the project, I will never complain if I get paid from promoting a project.

Yeah, I've been in that the same situation and problematic with it before. But as soon as I've seen that I'm in profit at any price, peak or not, I'm not forgetting to start selling.
But that's just too satisfying to see that you've made a lot with such bounties and I am sure that there are other folks that also made a lot from other bounties that they've joined but were just lowkey not to discuss it.

[Emperor of Man]

I too have been in a lot of bad bounties and airdrops, but a few good ones I remember are:

- STORM: IIRC I got 0.4 BTC worth of tokens. Like most of you I didn't put it to the right use though.  
- Waves: I think I got about 500-600 waves. Could have been worth $36K at ATH years later, but I didn't hodl much.

Those were the days...

Anyways, are bounties even worth anything these days?

Altcoin bounties are famous for being useless. However, there tends to be gems every once in a while, have you come across such any?

MONACO : My best bounty reward so far. This bounty was first announced in 2017 when ICO and bounty campaigns was really fresh and the projects were actually made it to the final products, although they didn't survive until this date. But still for bounty reward itself, it was really impressive on that date.

LUNYR : The second one is LUNYR. When ERC-20 was really fresh and the price of that bounty rewards when they hit exchange was really great and compared to todays bounties. Even 10 of nowadays bounties doesn't even that much compared to this bounty, those bounties were really insane.

[Oneandpure]

I have several highest amount reward from altcoin bounties during 2016 to 2020 until joining with signature service bounty have exact payment weekly amount. During 2016 joined many altcoin bounties and ever earned reward above $3,000 from HEX signature campaign, I am little disappointed because selling coins at lower price after one years later price pump drastically.

For highest altcoin bounty reward earned from Power Ladger bounty campaign, earn more than 1 BTC and current price about $12,000 and this project still exist until right now but price have going dump. Nowadays seems impossible to earn reward above $500 from altcoin bounty because many campaign have limit budget for bounty participants under $4,000 until $10,000.

[albon]

I participated in many bounty campaigns during the previous years but I didn't have any luck like the OP, I only got through my participation in 2 bounties that were managed by Hhampuz and irfan_pak10 from $400 to $1000 in altcoins of the projects and after that, I worked in different Bounties, their budget was not great, and the hunters were in the thousands, and through my work, for several weeks I got less than 20 dollars, so I lost hope in bounty work in general. I know that there have been good bounties and gems since 2017, but you will be very lucky in these years to find and work in one of them because there are often a lot of scam bounties whose team stops paying and there are bounties that pay a few dollars in the end.

[Bitstar_coin]

I have also been in a few alts that were great but just that I didn't take advantage of them at the time I should have. And from the previous post above, I can see I am not the only one who also misses the opportunity to sell their alts rewards at peak.
I can agree that most alts campaigns are worthless but if you manage to stumble across the one that is good, you will be handsomely rewarded if you are able to sell at ath.

ETHlend which changed to Aave and it reminds me of regrets from a few years ago.
I don't follow too many bounties on this forum but I did participate in the ETHlend bounty at that time and had a large amount if swapped to Aave I had around 108 Aave. but stupid me back then i was selling on etherdelta just like you when it was a penny. my mistake was to sell too fast last time and missed the chance to raise around $71k.
but from my disappointment I was relieved by the NFT that I got from the bounty back in 2017 and the price was very high. curiocard is that NFT that makes me feel big return for free and for me it is big return for my bounty.

[lobo13hf]

there were plenty of campaigns that could give such tremendous rewards back then even though there were many times when I missed the opportunity to make huge profit just because I were too greedy but surely earning $1k was a piece of cake, right now in earning that much money you should be diligent enough to know the right moment in selling your bounty rewards so that you can get most out of your coins and get huge reward at the end of your campaign.
