I know this have been discussed several times on this forum but yet I will like to drop this again, I'm sure few new developers are among us here, so here we go
It will be a whole new story if new projects can start paying bounty hunters in USD or stablecoin, this have few advantages over paying with your own tokens, if new projects find it as a most for people to try out their new Blockchain they should use airdrops instead, airdrops has the lowest rewards, hardly to get 2$ in airdrops today
As for bounties please start paying in USDT, DAI or USDC, this will erase your sense of 'bounty hunters are killing new projects' idea
I believe a lot of people will agree with me that if they let them choose they will receive project tokens rather than stablecoins.
Agree, we are going through a lot of bounty scam projects, which are time consuming for many people and also create a bad buzz among those who want to learn about the market. I think this is important to you, you need to spend time researching the project to see if it can grow, then decide to join the campaign.
