It is of no doubt that many investors detest bounty hunters as they usually attribute the fault of price fall and dump to them, instead of blaming the project teams that do not put things in place to make their projects stand out.
Today, the team equally treat the hunters wickedly as if they're beggars after the hunters have completed the tasks assigned to them.
I recently witnessed a bounty pool of $15,000 with a participants of around 2,000. The bounty bounty was first scheduled for 4 weeks and later extended to 20 without a dime added to the pool.
The hunters endure the hash condition to complete the project and the hunters' were still delayed for several months after the bounty ended. When the started to pay, just 20% was released extending the rest of the payment to over 9 months.
Despite all these, the token price is still not attractive. Are all these hash treatments meted on hunters worth it!
Hunters should create respect for themselves by taking prompt actions like leaving the campaign if the team announces extension.
If the reward is small try to avoid such campaign.
Projects that solely depend on soft cap should also be avoided because they will most probably end up not raising enough funds due to slow ico market. The hunters should also raise voice for their rights and reward at all project pages and channels and also post about bad behavior of project team or bounty manager at forums.
