Title: Are crypto bounties still worth participating in?
Post by: nelson4lov on October 14, 2020, 12:33:32 AM
Hey guys,have been meaning to ask this question for a long time now, are crypto bounties becoming worthless?, cus I don't know why they are so many scam bounties these days, I participated in clipx bounty on bitcointalk hosted by bounty detectives, and after the bounty campaign ended, clipx team asked every participant to do kyc,thankfully I was pretty busy that week and forgot to do the kyc and it passed the deadline date for the kyc, after 3days I visited bounty detectives telegram group and saw that after clipx project has been discontinued, wait why would they ask for kyc when they know fully well that they aren't gonna continue with the project? Sadly alot of bounty hunters did the kyc, and passed it, and the clipx team claimed that they have deleted all the kyc information, but I think that's a lie because they know how valuable it is on the dark web, there's no way they are going to throw away all those information, I think the campaign was owned by scammers and they just needed those kyc's, what do you think?

In recent times there have been a lot of scam bounty projects. And in my opinion there are indeed more and more bounty projects that are not good. It is increasingly difficult to choose potential projects. However, I myself am still trying to find my fortune by joining the bounty in this crypto.

Unfortunately, we are in an industry riddled by so many scams and frauds. This is one major reason why many people are turned off by cryptocurrency as they can see and feel the risks involved. There are so many creative scammers and hackers around and if they can fool and victimized big organizations like Binance and Kucoin then they can easily the same to anyone.

We are witnessing today the same trend in 2017 where scams really made their way into the pockets of the people who believed on them expecting something in return only to realize they are holding airy and empty bags at the end.

Sadly, there is nothing we can do but just be always careful. However, there are also good projects that can really shine in this "dark-themed" industry. Sometimes it is all a matter of luck, though.

I am not at all interested in the project ClipX I just followed the bounty social media and do not want to do the KYC for the project are already making rules quite heavy with having to use KYC passport would have to forget a bunch of fraudsters who want to utilize the data KYC to sell all of the bounty hunters should always careful to avoid being cheater because of the bounty prize is not too much.

It should always be assumed that the KYC requirement from bounty hunters is illegal. In most cases, ICO teams have used KYC either to allow fewer ICO bounty campaign participants to pay the tokens they have earned, or simply to steal credentials. Therefore, it should be regarded as a sign of project fraud if they only started talking about the possibility of carrying out KYC.
However, while there have been fraudulent ICO projects, there are and will be. In any case, as long as this type of activity remains unregulated. We all just need to beware of such ICO projects.

Until now, I still celebrate with bounties. And I also still like to work on bounties for additional income. Because in my opinion, this bounty can still generate income. Although it is necessary to be very careful in choosing a project.

I'm one of hose who sincerely promoted ClipX project thinking it is good and will succeed in the near future. Unfortunate happened, the team suddenly implement KYC procedure which some participants passed, me, I did not follow coz it is fishy to implement KYC at the end of campaign and only passport is the valid to submit.
Very risky to pass your personal information to unknown third party.

I'm also participated in that bounty ClipX and do that KYC with my alternative ID (not a passport) according to the Bounty Detective, the ClipX team is based in Germany and all of its details are verifiable, and also the company was registered legally in Germany and because of that, the team can be sued, and Bounty Detective pressured them with a legal action thats why the ClipX Team is immediately deleted those KYC data and notified those who do the KYC procedure, In crypto, some KYC is required to meet the legal requirements and even in airdrops some people are willing to do the KYC just to receive that airdrop, The DigitalBits Bounty is far more worst because the bounty was required the KYC and do it for two times with a thousand participants but in the end they never paid and all the Data was in their position.

I also participated on ClipX campaign but I have set a rule on what bounties I will select now, even if I completed a bounty even if it is really a good one I will not gonna do a KYC anymore. That's why I always search for ones that requires No Kyc. Fortunately there are good projects that doesnt requires submitting personal documents. This ClipX really decieved the bounty hunters and i do believed Bounty Detective too are not aware of the things that the said project did. Whatsoever many of us who's identities aee already compromised should be more carefull next time. Oh by the way, Bounty Detective team takes an initiative to do a bounty for those who participated on the failed bounty projects like ClipX, KingCasino, 1sTrade etc.

Bounty campaigns have become very tricky, some projects takes advantage of bounty hunters which is really unfair. Sometimes as a bounty hunter who have worked hard to promote a project, especially  those who do content/translation bounty. They can't just let go if KYC is requested after work is already done. Unfortunately, they fall into prey and until there is a way to protect bounty hunters this problem won't stop.

Best thing to do is protect your identity and don't just do kyc for useless bounties. Sometimes we win some and sometimes we lose some.

When ClipX has to do KYC at the end of the campaign & requires members to register, I immediately skip it. ClipX project suddenly changed the rules, made me suspicious. It was true that this project failed. Therefore always be careful

Of course, because bounty companies still generate income, but you shouldn't expect that if you will participate in one or two bounty companies, you will be able to get good income, there is no such income in the bounty sphere, therefore, you need to participate in many bounty companies in order to get at least some income and you should not rely on huge amounts of money, such time has passed long time ago.

There are still good bounties worth participating, it's all about you doing your own research before joining any bounty. Don't join bounties because it's run by a good Bounty manager. They are humans and can miss something

Bounties are still Worth participating on despite so many shortcomings, like scammers activities, failed projects, poor bounty payment, and even non payment for bounty after successful completion. It is actually a sad situation but hunters must move. Bounties are still very ok for participations because there still are good bounties that bring huge profits. project like Ludena protocol, ARC where successful campaigns that paid hunters accordingly.

Participating in a bounty campaign, any hunter understands the risks that await him: the project failure in Token-Sale, the token not being listed on the exchanges, the project team does not want to carry out token distribution ... Even Bounty Detective's reputation can't guarantee anything :)
So calm down and take the effort to participate in other bounty campaigns, that will probably be more helpful for us.
I am also a participant in the ClipX campaign, and I refuse to provide KYC.

I believe Bounty detective did include a disclaimer saying reward wasn't guarantee as the project wanted to handle distributions themselves, taking into consideration the kind of project they were, it didn't make any sense. They never intended to pay hunters as the timeframe they asked for kyc and ended project was too short. It's really fishy

Bounties are worthed to join if you know well how to analyze which one is good. We are not talking about any bounties that are made to scam people only. There are many bounties that really can give you a proper amount of rewards (money). For example, DIA bounty is a really good project that gives a good amount of money.

Yes, sometimes bounty campaigns also offer very good participation. They are commonly promoting a system that is more capable and better to get rewards. Ensure you have searched form the information about that thing and it needs still have other crypto worlds at all

Actually there is still a lot of potential for us to follow. it's just that it's quite difficult to choose a truly successful project. This has made many bounty hunters uneasy. Moreover, many bounties are scams. But it is still very profitable to participate in a bounty to find additional income.

Post by: Istiak on October 15, 2020, 08:27:54 AM
There is still some campaign that is actually good but the number is very few. But even those campaigns offer a small rewards pool which makes the bounty campaign less valuable. But I think it's still some money and if you don't have anything else to do then you can do this work. At least you will earn something from it.

Bounties are definitely worth participating in, and this is why majority of the crypto currency forums we have in the world today are having so many engagements. Bounties are promotions, and there will always be promotions in the crypto currency space. Just ensure to do your own research and join worthy bounties

I really want to blame bounty hunters for having given out their details for some kind of rewards that is not even worth it, bounty huntrs have not yet learn their lesson and that is why they keep complaining all the time about some useless projects which are not even worth it. It is time to stop promoting useless projects.

Normally, new hunters are the most complainant. Very annoying to read repeated quarries one after the other. It seems difficult for them to read the messages and pinned message. They want easy money or may I say easy rewards or put everything in a short way.
Being seniors we should help them or try to understand their imperfections and innocence.

This is not only for clipx bounty but also there are lots of campaign which are conducted by the scammer. Here scammers are using or change the way of scamming. Some projects distribute their token but locked such type of project definitely scam project. I think at this moment most of the projects are worthless.

Yes, but, pay attention to these notes
1. Follow the bounty that is managed by trusted Bounty Manager
2. Analyze the project before sending the application to the participants
3. You need t to have members with a special rank in order to get valuable rewards.
Those are some of what we have been

Actually, the current Bounty is very different from before, but if we follow Bounty just as a side course I think it's still feasible. With a note that we don't have your hopes up with this Bounty, because of the 100% existing Bounty I think only 20% can make money.

We know that not all bounties come from good crypto projects, so there is possibilities we don't get the reward in each bounty that we joined. Just try our best to analyze the best bounties, so get bigger chances to get the rewards.

The problem about KYC my advice is don't easily do KYC charging. KYC for me is very risky, especially projects like the one you follow and in the end all don't get paid. Whereas there are already many people who do KYC. Please be careful with projects that ask for KYC, it is best to check properly.

The danger of high expectation is when it did not happen accordingly. There is always risks joining bounties one is scam. Promoting scam project is a waste of time. Scammers using us while they are earning from bad procedure. At the end hunters and investors left behind. Necessary to search the project before you participate to anticipate any possible loses.

The actual bounty is still very feasible to be followed, but we must first select the bounty that we will participate in.  Because now there are so many bounties that end very disappointing, many even end up in scam. If the ClipX Bounty case requesting KYC at the end of the campaign is beyond the authority of the Detectiv Bounty manager. And it seems that it was only data theft that was carried out by the team, it was proven that the project stopped and was closed.

Now a days bounties Campaigns are available in thread just scams and never payments among the Hunters due to high transactions gas fees. In running campaign so many participants are joining in the bounties projects so that we can't get enough payment due to low amount of budgets. So bounty campaign is now not worth of joining and still waste of time.

Yes, it seems that the project team, besides the fact that it was going to deceive the bounty participants, also tried to collect confidential information for subsequent sale.
KYC is illegal against bounty hunters anyway. According to the mandatory FATF recommendations of June 21, 2019, the KYC verification can be carried out solely for the prevention of dirty money laundering and the fight against terrorist financing. Moreover, if, moreover, the transaction amount exceeds one thousand euros. Bounty participants do not invest their money and therefore cannot be suspected of money laundering or terrorist financing. And even companies transfer them as a reward, usually an amount of less than one thousand euros.
Therefore, any KYC check is a common scam.

Therefore, when we are following a bounty project, we must remain vigilant and careful. Don't just be tempted by the prizes on offer. Now scammers are much more cunning and do everything they can to deceive traders. Even victims who were deceived not only 1 or 2 people but in large numbers. It's really hard to tell which projects are really good so we don't fall for scams.

If you have free time in addition to your main job, it is still worth participating in bounty campaigns. Although the size of the award is already largely incomparable with what it was before. Although sometimes there is a decent income.
Now a rather bad trend for registered members of this forum is that there are very few subscription campaigns, the team pays more attention to social networks.

We are still working on this forum and bear the signatures of new projects. So we hope for a decent wage for our work. Of course, a lot of projects either don't pay bounty hunters at all, or they pay a few dollars each. But there are also bounty campaigns when the received tokens bring a decent profit. We join new projects, hoping that we will find ourselves on such projects. If you have free time, then why not use it with benefit, including we learn about the news of the world of cryptocurrency and gain some experience.

Can you name any bounty that brought you huge profit? I barely can name few bounties that brought me around 50 dollars for doing all social media during several months. I dont participate in lots of companies, usually I am in 4-6 bounties and usually I get 30-50 dollars reward monthly. If it would take a lot of time, I would have skipped participating long time ago.

May I mention few of them that landed here with good return for hunters...

1: Maybe Hex bounty payment managed by BD is still good experience for hunters that belong to lucky participants.
2: DIA and CARTESI managed by Bubbalex.
3: The recent bounty BEYOND PROTOCOL managed by Yahoo 62278.

I'd didn't participated them all but these were some of the profitable bounties here in our forum.

Not all are scam. Not all are profitable. Good project will come :D

Hey guys,have been meaning to ask this question for a long time now, are crypto bounties becoming worthless?, cus I don't know why they are so many scam bounties these days, I participated in clipx bounty on bitcointalk hosted by bounty detectives, and after the bounty campaign ended, clipx team asked every participant to do kyc,thankfully I was pretty busy that week and forgot to do the kyc and it passed the deadline date for the kyc, after 3days I visited bounty detectives telegram group and saw that after clipx project has been discontinued, wait why would they ask for kyc when they know fully well that they aren't gonna continue with the project? Sadly alot of bounty hunters did the kyc, and passed it, and the clipx team claimed that they have deleted all the kyc information, but I think that's a lie because they know how valuable it is on the dark web, there's no way they are going to throw away all those information, I think the campaign was owned by scammers and they just needed those kyc's, what do you think?

That is another way for scammers to get people's information without stress if I most add. I think for Bounty projects that request KYCs now is just not my thing and the sad part is that this will only happen after the work has been done and hunters would not like to lose their earnings hence most will be forced to do this KYC. They know if this was put forth in the beginning hunters will not participate. Sad.

When we invest in cryptocurrencies or spend our time and energy for participating in crypto bounty campaigns, we must understand that we are acting "at our own peril and risk." Therefore, you must always weigh your perceived benefits against the possibility of being deceived. Moreover, we should not transfer our personal data to dubious projects.

It is actually a sad situation but hunters must move. Bounties are still very ok for participations because there still are good bounties that bring huge profits.

Can you name any bounty that brought you huge profit?

May I mention few of them that landed here with good return for hunters...

1: Maybe Hex bounty payment managed by BD is still good experience for hunters that belong to lucky participants.
2: DIA and CARTESI managed by Bubbalex.
3: The recent bounty BEYOND PROTOCOL managed by Yahoo 62278.

I'd didn't participated them all but these were some of the profitable bounties here in our forum.

Not all are scam. Not all are profitable. Good project will come :D

I am familiar only with DIA and Cartesi, as I've participated in them also. But that was in 2020 if not mistaken. Hex bounty - never heard of that. Were the rewards good? Hunters must have a lot of luck to get in first line to join in BD campaigns. Beyond Protocol - I've heard that, but somehow this bounty slipped away from me. Was it profitable also? Can you give some numbers please?

I say yes, but we must really make which Crypto project selection we will follow. Because of being admitted or not, now there are many Bounty projects that are scam. Where it will only make us disappointed, because we have worked hard to play but it doesn't produce anything. My advice is to do a real job everyday and use this bounty just as a side job.

One of the means of avoiding such bounty scam is to do a thorough research about the project, starting from their white paper, their team and developers, roadmap, what solution is the project bring to crypto ecosystem?  and prompt responses from their admin in their social media handle especially Telegram, these are some salient facts that need to be established first before joining some boundies unfortunately a lot of hunters don't bother to do needful but join bounties blindly and at the end get scammed.

When ClipX has to do KYC at the end of the campaign & requires members to register, I immediately skip it. ClipX project suddenly changed the rules, made me suspicious. It was true that this project failed. Therefore always be careful
I really don't understand why project team do this with the bounty hunter. In fact, they should run under a specific way , like before they launch their bounty, they should tell us we need to pass kYC  in order to get reward. But what they do? They ask us to pass their kyc when distribution time come.

That's right, we have a lot to research before joining the Bounty Project.  I admit that I myself am not very good at researching whether a Bounty project is good or not, because it is not uncommon for a Bounty project to have a white paper and a good team, but in the end the project fails too.  About the many bounty hunters who blindly follow the bounty project, maybe they are ready with all the risks that will be accepted.

Many bounties are currently scammed. However, it is very difficult to say which bounty will be a scam. However, bounties should be done through escrow service. As a result, bounty hunters will not be fooled.

Yeah, I think escrow is the best way to reduce scam bounties.
But should escrow in stable coins or top coins.
Because If escrow in new coins, I think It will be shit coins.

Sadly enough, that is the situation we find ourselves in crypto. As crypto gets more profitable, more scam projects would join in just to take a piece of the pie. I was amongst the unlucky souls that sent their details in that ClipX bounty. Goodness knows what's happening to it now

Fortunately so, we still have good bounties that still payout and a good amount too. Of cause, there are lots of scam bounties in the system as always. Recently got about a $1000 from Beyond Protocol bounty I participated in, got a good amount from Sovryn, and many other bounties too. I most agree about the useless bounties that never mention KYC until it is all done and they start requesting for hunters to do KYC and worse of is them taken off after the KYC is done.
When you talk of escrow to be sure that the tokens are in BMs wallet to be paid, what happens if after they get what they want as usual even with the escrow they dump the project without listing? what good are tokens in your wallet from a dead project? There's a lot that could be suggested to curb scammers but it still won't solve the problem and as for me, as long as bounties are concerned, you win some you lose some.

I find bounties as a lottery, where the only resource you invest is time. Due to me doing bounties parallel other tasks, time is not so much important (I could spend it watching youtube instead for example). That is why I still doing bounties. Bounties are addiction to my salary. That is why even if I get 1$, that is still more than zero, that is still worth spending my time.

Yes, it's still worth joining. KYC is just irritating when asked lately to claim the coins. Honestly speaking I lost 4-5 times my coins due to the KYC not being done. When we know a project is failed so there is no use in doing KYC because we all know data can be sold easily. But there are still many bounties that are paying and we should always prepare for such projects that are scammed or fail. In the past 4 years, I learned worrying does not get anything, this is what I have learned and we should move forward.

Until now the bounty campaign can still produce even though the results are not too much but it can still be used for additional income that can be used to buy necessities of life so that you can stay alive and can eat, at least you have to be active when participating in the bounty campaign because if you don't active then there will be no good results.

Bounty campaigns are still somehow worth participating into an extend. I do participate in some bounty with my spare time because is not all the bounty campaigns work out at the end of the day. There are so many fake projects out there created purposely to scam investors and in the end, the bounty hunters will not be paid. Another issue is the inability of the team to make the project work out as they planned. Also, some teams of projects don't pay or pay in full. This some of the reasons why the bounty campaign is not worthy of participating.

Bounties are good source of income if you can learn to decipher the wheat from the chaff and of course have the time it requires. These days there is an explosion in bounties with a good number of them being plain scams, I daresay 50% of them. No one is perfect so you need to glean out the good ones, especially good bounty managers too

I always followed the rules of every bounty, KYC and eth deposit program I ever did in 2017 to make withdrawals, but the project turned out to be fake and the developer left the project when it was listed on a low volume exchange. I think from there I have the experience not to repeat the mistakes that occur, this time I will do more rigorous research before joining the bounty program.

I guess for some instances, yes, but don't just rely on those bounties you must need a job because most of them have no guarantee to achieve some decent payments, But lately, the concept of doing bounties has changed already unlike before because more and more bounty campaigns today are more on like mini bounties concept with just 4 weeks in length and paid by Stablecoin USDT, BUSD, etc but with a very small allocation ranging from $5K -$10K another problems also arise it has a thousand of participants which is not because it was promoting spam.

I also thanks to my Almighty to give me this to earn from this platfrom. I try to do hard work behind it to earn. I wanna give an example right now which is frx you may watch it ti my signature and i really hopw to get earn from it as we all know it will be listed on top10 cex on 10 dec. So i always suggest  to do bounty and try to earn. Hipe you will get a good earning.

Whether or not to participate in the bounties also depends on our "education and knowledge" in crypto. Personally, I will not participate in rewards where they pay $40 for a month of work and then make you wait 3 months to get paid. I think it is preferable (and this is just my opinion) to participate in a single bounty in a year than in 1 each month, selecting the projects can save us a lot of time and disappointment. But I repeat that it is only my opinion, we all have our opinions and they are totally respectable.

Post by: Noverteno on January 01, 2022, 05:18:47 PM
I think in many ways our attitude on this issue depends on the availability of free time. I have a relatively large amount of it now and can afford to participate in bounty campaigns even if they don't end up paying me. Sometimes this participation is decently rewarded, and often in those projects from which you do not expect much profit. Besides, habit probably also plays a role. It is already interesting to know what news is being discussed on the forum, what new projects have appeared, as with the prices of cryptocurrency.

True. Free time is the main factor to participate in bounties. 3-4 years ago, bounties can be considered as a full time job. I've heard many examples how people quit their job and becomes a 24/7 hunters. Nowadays I cant imagine being such a person.

I am very selective in bounties. I mostly skip bounties, and take part only in bounties under management of favorite managers.

Yes, Bounty is still worth. At 3-4 years we will get a lot tokens from bounty and really worth.

I think legit bounty is always worthy.
But I see several bounty projects are scam and almost all of them didn't have good project.
The team  didn't improve their projects to follow the trend, So the coin price is suffering.
Maybe we should join bounty that being brought by reputated BM.

agreed with this, legit bounty is worthy, I have joined several bounties since 2015 and have gotten profit from.
Several tokens are worthy and also many tokens are less.
I think It's no matter, bounty is just spending our time time to gain free tokens.
We only do the task and will get tokens.
I'm bounty hunter and trader, So do both every time

At 2015-2016 we have gotten alot, its really worthy.
But for now, I see the rewards is more little.
It's free tokens, so still worthy to participate in bounty campaign.
As bounty hunter, I  always research the bounty project and choose reputated BM.

Since we don't have a legal entity to protect bounty hunters here, anyone who follows the bounty must really work for the rewards offered, but we don't know whether it will pay off or not in the end. I think they understand that if they are a scam project that really ran away with everything, it was our fault that we were not careful in following the bounty.
But, if the project is successful with their bounty, they have a large community but forget the bounty participants. This is a disgusting project. I'm sure this has happened, some of which I have participated in such as digitalbits and payaccept.

Just so you know, bounties, just like crypto in general, are not get rich quick schemes or projects. They are kind of like active income sources. Some pay good. Some don't. I know I have earned up to $5000 in a single bounty. So I'm a bit biased

If the project is legit, but bounty manager scam the participation,  doesn't distribute the token, It think we have been scammed.

I still believe bounties still worthy, because we will get tokens, if they distribute.

In 99% of cases the problem is the team and not the Bounty Manager, although it is true that some have also been openly scammers. There are several solutions so that it does not happen again, such as the team paying in stable coin, Bitcoin or Ethereum for example, and the tokens are locked in an escrow until the day of distribution, but the latter would not work if the project is finally a scam and the tokens are useless. In the end, the only thing that can help us is our knowledge and the study we make of the projects.

But there is several scams from bounty manager, leave the project after being paid by the project team.
