I'm planning to start participating in bounty again but I'm not sure if it's already profitable, so I like to search some information based on what you know and what you experience about the bounty that really paid the participants this year, this are the past bounties to be specific.
Please share some list and some information about the successful bounty.
Why mate, you seems to be doing good with bitcoin paying campaign? Altcoin bounties continue to suffer up to this point so for me it doesn't make sense at all to shift your strategy. I know that bitcoin paying campaign has dried up but if there's one popping out in the next coming weeks I would advice you to try and stick to it.
Bounties, in general, are more risky than campaigns paid in bitcoin, and usually manage by renowned managers.
Bounties run by companies that do their crowdsale, fund-rasing, IEOs, ICOs, whatsoever, and they use their free coins, free tokens to do that.
At the ends of those ICOs, IEOs, if teams fail with their original purposes, don't collect enough funds they wanted, they might shut down their projects, make scam exits, for instance; then participants of their bounties will end with zero, zero payments after weeks/ months of hard-working.
Personally, if I don't find campaigns to join, I am free, and I will maintain to stay away from bounties as much as possible.
Very well said, bounties are very risk, I even consider it gambling as well. To be honest, I joined one bounty in Aug 2018, they paid early 2019, but guess what I can't even make money out of. Although it has been listed on exchanges already, but the projects keeps on delaying and telling us that they are still making improvements and all we can do now is wait.
