Bounties are a complete nowadays, from getting terminated midway because an ICO failed, to payments not being made because the project teams have simply disappeared.. The space has become a wild wild west in it's totality. This is a direct fallout from the state of the crypto market in general.
ICOs are failing because they're increasingly not being able to gain the confidence of the investing public. Some of these projects in all honesty have no business coming into the crypto space, as their value proposition isn't convincing enough. Again, with the spate of scam projects now, many people simply do not trust any project to invest their money, for fear of being scammed and losing scarce resources.
Bounty hunters are on the receiving end, because an investor may choose not to invest in an ICO and status quo remains, but a bounty hunter has most likely invested time and resources in promoting a project, before investor thinks of investing. It's a sad situation these days. Time and effort wasted. Feels as though I should take a break from bounty participation for a while until the market bounces back. Who shares this thoughts with me?
