I look backward and see a lot of challenge facing bounty hunters and I can only see that things will get harder. The mental stress of looking for the right bounty to promote, waking up in the middle of the night for several hours to complete tasks for months just to realized you won't get $1 for all your time.
It is another scenario when you discover that the project you promoted is doing great at the exchange market but you realized the team are refusing to give the reward of your labour or change the rules regarding the campaign just to make it hard for you to get your reward.
I think most of this project team see hunters as being toothless because they know the worst you can do cannot affect their project. They name you different names just to make you look like a fool in the eyes of investors.
Until there is a way to deal honorably with these team, hunters will continue to suffer
This is absolutely true and always happening ever since the booming of the market, we bounty hunters doesn't have any power to know whether we will get paid or not, whether our time and efforts will be paid off or not. But somehow I can see there is a bit change in terms of rewarding because there are several bounty managers whose getting the payment first so it can protect their hunter as well as their reputations as being the manager of the project.
