I have been wandering around BitcoinTalk for a while and know the reach of Bounties in the last few cycles. This time I was wondering to do a bounty for a client I am helping.
Things that I noticed here:
1. You need to be a Bounty Manager.
Is that a prerequisite? A new account won't be able to do it?
2. I don't see any bounties now.
Has the bounties and hunters phase faded away?
Help: Did anyone organize one or participate in a recent bounty? Would be great if you could share the link.
If you are really active you will notice some few bounties are currently active though you won’t see much of them probably because this is not a bounty season. What i mean is that there are no many new projects at the moment that’s why it so. When we enter into the season where new projects are being introduced you will definitely see a lot of bounties to participate in. There is nothing like prerequisite to participate in bounties, the only rule that applies is the rules set by the campaign manager. You will see lots of bounty participants in campaigns managed by reputable managers but that not the case with campaigns managed by non reputable managers.
The rate at which people get scammed from bounties is high and it has been a factor that affects the number of bounty hunters in the forum. I hate to break this to you but bounties are really not worthy nowadays soo my advice for you is to not rely solely on bounties they are more like a waste of time.
