Thanks everybody for all your comments.

I've actually done about a dozen bounties myself (mostly last September to December) and have had similar experiences as the rest of you. I'm doing research for an article I'm working on, mostly on describing bounty hunting to people who are not familiar with it.

first of all forget about quick earnings. You will need to be patient for 3-5 months. If earlier 60% of the campaigns were successful (they closed their goals and went to the stock exchanges), now this figure is 40%. This means that you need to either take more campaigns into work or agree to a smaller salary.

I was wondering how the market for bounty hunters was doing compared to the end of last year. It seems like it's a different market now. It looks like it's harder to make real money doing it. Anyone doing these since years ago, like 2014-2016? I would imagine that was a Golden Age for this.

Crypto space is crowded, many scam ICO's are out in the market. One has to do thier research before signing up. Bounty payments are getting delayed due to inexperince bounty manager. I would say on an average 2-3 are good bounties out of 10.

This was my expectation and it's the experience I had. Out of 12 or so campaigns I did, 1 was really good, 3 or 4 were ok to good, and the rest paid almost nothing, or failed, or were scams.

I'm wondering if regulation by the SEC (and other government agencies) will actually make these bounty campaigns better once the frauds are cleared out. I suppose that's what I'm looking for here - is there still a future in bounty hunting? How much do you expect it to change and in what ways?
