As A Bounty Hunter - Which System Of Payment Do You Prefer, Stakes Or Fixed Amount?

[jyotianand01]

A simple formula applied by all bounty managers to distribute stake is your social media and rank value. If the bounty distributed equally to all then what is the logic of strong social media presence and how they get promotions. If you have less numbers then you give them a little promotion and get as per your efforts. I am with stake system rather then fixed income.

I prefer fixed payment than stakes and yes they can cheat in stakes payment system, well there is nothing we can do if they prefer stakes payment in campaign.

[M.bhussaini]

will prefer the fixed amount system rather than stakes because we can calculate how many tokens we will earn till the end of bounty campaign. If the company is in crisis  we can get our fixed amount for our work.

Yes, I agree with this answer. Fixed amount is more friendly and easy to calculate for bounty hunters. The team of ICO projects cannot decrease or cut the number of token bounty allocation by applying this payment type.

It all depends on the accounts you have and the level of work you do. If they are complex, it is more profitable for you to work for a certain amount.

[showtime]

With a fixed number of people, I would prefer to share the reward, as it is more profitable, to my mind.

[Jacky]

Fixed amount will be fair for bounty hunters. I prefer to choose fixed amount because I saw there are many cases of decreasing the bounty pool with stakes formula. We can avoid the cutting allocation by team project or bounty managers.

THE STAKES SYSTEM OF PAYMENT IN A BOUNTY
Stakes are a means of measurement. It is used to allot weekly payment to a bounty hunter according to his/her status/followers on social media. For instance, let's say Company A is releasing token B and there are 8 people in their bounty campaign. They have allocated 1million tokens for this. E.g
Facebook/Twitter Campaign
200 - 1000 friends/followers = 1stake per week
1001 - 2,500 friends/followers = 4stakes per week and so on.
Lets say person 1 has 1300 stakes, person 2 has 500 stakes and
the rest of the people combined have 4000 stakes.
Then the total would be 5800 stakes and will be thus calculated,
(1 million / 5800)*(amount of stakes a hunter has)  in case of person 2
that will be : 1 million/5800*500 = 86,206.895 of token B.
So person 2 will receive 86,206.895 of token B at the end of the campaign. This amount of token is only possible if there are limited participants in the bounty campaign.

FIXED PAYMENT
Using the above scenario, Company A is releasing 1million token B for their bounty and they decided that according to the bounty hunters rank/followers in social media, certain amount of token B will be paid weekly. E.g
Facebook/Twitter Campaign
200-1000 = 500 token B per week
1001 - 2,500 = 750 token B per week and so on.....
with this system of payment, the bounty hunter is able to calculate at a glance barring unforseen circumstances, what he/she is going to get at the end of the campaign.
Take for instance person 2 is in the second category and worked for 10 weeks that will be 10*750 = 7,500 token B at the end of the campaign.


Most of the Bounty Managers prefer to use the stakes system for bounty payments. As far as I am concern, that system cheats! Not everyone can calculate accurately how many tokens one will receive at the end of the bounty. I prefer by far the fixed amount system so I know that for a certain period of work, this is what I will receive.

What about you guys? Which do you prefer, the stakes system or fixed amount payment for bounty?

I will prefer fixed payment over stakes although you will say that stakes might give you a higher allocation but if i get fixed payment i does not need to worry about the amount of participants that is competing with me for the pool.

[Abiodun]

It's all depends on the type of bounties enrolled in. For be personally I prefer stakes, the more you work the greater you earn.

[Alcor]

Of course, for bounty hunters, fixed weekly accrual of new tokens is more beneficial than rate accruals. With a fixed payment of our work, it is easier for us to determine the amount of earnings and there is always less abuse allowed. The charging of bets, as a rule, does not guarantee us anything concrete. In the future, many more participants can join the ICO bounty campaign and this will significantly reduce the amount of earnings. With a fixed payment tokens, no matter how many participants join, this does not affect the amount of payment.

I will prefer a fix amount payment in BTC or Ether or any other cryptocurrency already in the market. This will help in eliminating owning coins that will not avail anything to you because it has not been listed.

[WooDoo]

I would have started to work much more actively in the project, if I knew how much money I get, and sometimes 3 months sitting in one project, and eventually $17.

[Xtinah]

Fixed amount is better In most cases than stakes, stakes are also better in rare cases than fixed. Fixed amount makes you calculate and know how much tokens or payment you would get at the end of the campaign before starting the work, at least you know what you are working for, if it will be favourable. Stakes, on the other hand is also favourable if the total number of bounty campaign participants are less but not favourable when bounty participants are much. The total amount of tokens allocated for a particular bounty will be shared accordingly if it's calculated by stakes but for fixed amount any additional tokens remaining in a particular bounty will not be shared again since the amount is fixed

8)I will prefer to have a fixed payment instead of stake, so that bounty hunters do not have to worry about the amount of people joining those popular ICOs and afraid that their earnings will get affected. In prefer to be payed in Ethereum. This is the best way to earn money and save value of own investment. Furthermore ico teams save token value because save by Bounty hunters dump.

Is there any particular difference in what kind of reward system the project uses, because it all depends on their honesty.
