This makes me to wonder if bounties really pay.
There was an era when bounty used to pay very well. But now with all this scam and fraud projects it is really hard to tell which project will become a success and in the end actually pay the bounty hunters. There are also some project that even after a successful run, they refuse to pay the bounty hunters. Those projects that are here to scam people, I have nothing to say about them. They are trash. But few which can make it through the journey and become successful actually pays the bounty hunters.
I used to do a lot of bounties in the past but now it's like 99.9% are scams. So for that reason I actually don't do any bounty. If you really want to make some income through bounty hunting, he should choose those that are escrow project. Or The project that pays with stable coin or Bitcoin.
It is hard to tell which one is legit and which one is a scam. And it doesn't take that much time to do the work. So keep on walking if you are short in money or want to make some money out of bounties. It's a gamble that you have to play.
