What I think about bounty payment?

[Review]

Or maybe bounties have simply been reborn into ambassador programs, because time does not stand still and, frankly, the old promotion tools simply stop working.

Bounty work should be rebranded because days going on bounty campaign become worst and worst. Even the bounty hunter do not read the bounty rule at all. They just go to the bounty thread and reply their registration form like shit. Even i seen some of them write registration form on the signature campaign. What kind of stupidity is it ? This mindset should be changed.

What do you think is the right solution to overcome this stupidity.

[Nestle]

It looks like it will be difficult to get a bounty project that uses a payout of USDT, BNB or stable coins. If there is a possibility the prizes given are very limited and only a few participants who meet the criteria can participate. If this keeps happening like giving shitcoins, I think the interest to participate will decrease

Some bounties are good and some are bad. Its not the bounties its the projects they run away that dont provide us payments of our hard work.

[owmivmen]

has now implemented escrow to ensure the project pays the bounty participants. it's just that the coins or tokens will be of value or not when they are on the market. no one can guarantee and promise they will be successful

Yes, many bounty projects are now doing scams with hunters, we as hunters work for weeks but get nothing. We can't just say to bounty manager because there is clearly mentioned in ever bounty, payment not guaranteed by bounty manager, and it is also mentioned "Join at our own risk".

It is our responsibility to find legit bounty and join.

This commonly will depend on the Bounty Manager itself. many tp BM is still working on certain regulations and easy enough. but some other BMs are also so complciated.
But what I think right now is that bounty right now is less interesting moreover because this is in the bear market. So, many worry about the projects that are promoted in bounty will be really succeful or not.

Bounty payments nowadays are peanuts, all the bm tend to take advance work without any weekly payment setup, or most of the bounties are not escrowed in the end which results in companies refusing to pay hunters for their hard work at last moment, in my opinion, bitcointalk and altcoin talk should not allow any random person to generate a bounty thread, they should be kyced and escrowed before organizing bounties.

I prefer that payment be given directly to the bounty manager or to the escrowerd. At least this gives a sense of security that the bounty that is run will really pay off the participants.

If the project is escrowed it would be good for all even we can not fully blame the Bounty Manager they are also like us it is also our duty to check the projects properly before participating. It would be a good idea if we get rewards in USDT, Eth, or BNB at least we will get something for sure.

I think the bounty payments are a great idea. They provide an incentive for people to report bugs and vulnerabilities, and help to make software more secure.

Bounty payments also help to raise awareness of security issues, and can encourage people to take action to fix them. In some cases, bounty payments can also help to fund security research.

I also think bounty payments are a great way to improve software security, and I encourage companies to consider offering them!

[Speaker]

And how can generous payouts help software security ? Generous payments are good only to the one to whom they are paid.

We were there before. Today, nothing has change.

Managers cannot guarantee the 100%  that the project team will pay the hunters according to the said schedule whatever the result.

Managers didn't promise the profitable payment.
Hunters should know from the very beginning that everything is subject to change (it depends).

Although we wasted sweat and blood, yet we're responsible to join any project. They never force us. It is/was our decision willingly to take part.

Therefore, " Join at your own risk " That's what you want to convey here in your comment Sir. But from another angle, I also understood the condition of a Bounty Manager, although I am not a BM. It also appears that all the bounty campaigns that appear here are not guaranteed to pay you if you are a participant who will campaign the new project. Apparently, the only ones who really make money are the bounty managers who manage a campaign project, pay or not to the bounty hunters or participants who promote new projects, in the end, the BM is still paid. Of course, the BMs will not agree to start managing a campaign immediately without upfront giving to them, they can be given full or half right away. That's what I know anyway.

Compared to the bounty campaigns of 2017, the situation has changed in many ways, and not for the better. Previously, the entire reward pool went to the signature campaign and was often measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Even an ordinary member received several thousand dollars for participating in the campaign. There were no other duties, such as registering on telegrams and social networks and performing certain actions, except for writing posts. Now, 4-5 thousand dollars are allocated for the reward pool, while only one thousand dollars is allocated for the signature campaign. There are very few signature campaigns themselves, and therefore the choice is not the same.

Often I see that two years ago the bounty payment was very good, compared to this time there were very few scams. Now scams are more, some bounty programs hang in the balance, and the payment is less than before.
