Day by day people are getting to know crypto currency, each day good number of interested people join the BitcoinTalk forum. The way the bounty qualifications and rank was in 2012 is not any more. Getting to the next rank is getting more difficult,KYC came in and many other changes, Now don't you think very soon most signature will only be opened to people from Full member and/or very few number will be given the chances of participation in many bounty campaign to have it convenient?
Merit is a big problem with many signature bounty hunters, we can't get merit while making constructive posts. Besides that projects are increasingly more and more fraudulent and the bounty hunters are starving. it's been over 6 months and I haven't received anything from previous projects I've done like Ichain, Auditchain, ... it really made me sad. Now I have to find a new job at a new company and learn how to trade to make a profit. bounty seems to be dead and no other project can save the bounty market.
