Bitcoin Forum

It is not a secret that most for now ICO is a bubble and there is too many projects trying to gather funds this way. I expect this bubble to dump in the next year and then we will be able to see the real amount of ICOs. This will definetely affect the bounty campaigns on this forum. What are you expecting? Will the bounty campaigns change their rates (not only in btc but also in usd value) or they just won't be affective and devs will give up on them?
I'm curious to hear the opinion of mature users of this forum that seen the developement of such campaign activities.

The false and scam ICOs and projects can probably effect the real ones in this forum or anywhere else, because if a person invests his money into a project or on a coin and he gets scammed, he will probably be afraid of doing that again and then even if there is a real and legit project or coin, it will need time to gain trust in the community in order to get success it deserves. All those ICOs and projects which are made for the sole purpose of gathering some funds and running away are being a hurdle in the way of success of the projects that are made with very good and positive purposes.

Friend, nobody can stop ICOs. If you see always there will be new ICOs popping up. Because there are no regulations for these ICOs. So in my opinion there will be always bounty or signature campaigns available in this forum. Nowadays even a college going student is  planning to start a ICO. Starting an ICO has become that easy. Many ICOs may eventually turn into scam and some into most profitable ones. Since daily new ICOs are popping up, definitely they will increase the rate of bounty campaigns inorder to attract more users for their bounty programs. You know bounty programs are a type of advertisement and after all, advertisement  plays a major role in  ICO success.

Depend on the bounty, some are serious ones and some are here only to take profit and visibility from this forum to run away within a very short time. I checked thoroughly Monaize which is in my signature and I believe in this idea that's why I decided for the first time here in a forum to promote a bounty campaign. I am happy doing this job so far. It looks different than promoting a bitcoin signature campaign and surely easier to make 15 posts a week compared to 25-30 that are asking the bitcoin signatures.

A lot of bounties are fake ones, they are promising thousand of dollars worth of a X coin that we dont even know if it is going to be listed at that promised price once that the ico is over.
I would not invest my time in one of those projects, what if you worked like a slave a whole month and then you are payed with shitty coins that are worth $0.00001?
it does not make sense, that is why i prefer to work only to be payed on bitcoin.

I don't think there will be so much changes regarding the future ICOs that will be introduced next year. There will still be scammy ones and every now and then, we'll see legit ones that has huge potential regarding its technology and real-life use. In that note, the impact of it to bounty campaigns will be little to no effect. Devs and marketing team of each ICO know that advertising through bounty campaigns provide significant exposure to their project ad they will continue to pay for these bounties. Maybe, the payout will be lessened in terms of BTC due to its increasing price but that's the only change that I'm seeing in the future regarding this matter.

Well, some ICOs are very promising. They lay down there projects and make if as attractive as they can. As an observation, some ICOs are very relevant, they do make sense for making such projects. They do build one that would be used in the near future for a wider purpose of bitcoin. I think such ICOs that concerns the real essence of bitcoun deserves a continuous place.
On the other hand, such projects that are created can actually fail even if they have a billion dollar idea. Every ICO project must see to it that their foundations will keep them on track. Only then, people will believe, they will work hard and they will have success in the future.

Bounty campaigns will change their rates according the current price of bitcoin and this is applicable to all of the campaigns not only them. I'm not that a mature user but adjustments are normal when there is something wrong or bad happening with the source of your advertisement. And we can't really tell if those ICOs that are keep on coming up has real plans for their future and they are even more investing for advertising just to make their name remembered by many investors.

Success of ICOs depend on two things and they are the project and the marketing strategy. There have been many scam ICOs in the past few months which had no new concept and were made just to raise funds and scam people. Although it does make an effect on the legit projects but it doesn't mean that the promising ICOs wont have a chance to survive in the community. If the project is good and helps the society in some way then they still have a chance to become a succesfull ICO. By implementing the right strategy it is sure that the ICO will succeed and the campaigns will have a bright future.

It will depend on the project of icos, there are many bounty campaign which exist for long period like 4 to 8 weeks and they are the icos which has successful project and the value of their coin will depending on the value of bitcoin.
There are also icos has a good project but it was not supported by more investors that is why some of them are getting to be scam and they do that to recover their losses.
Of course there is a big effect on crypto currency world it will lessen the trust of more investors if they continue to invest in shitty project or icos.

They have future, as ICO will be existing for a long time!
But the number of participants will reduce, as many of them have already suffered for scams.
I think ICO will have to pay more to bounty members in future to attract them.

You cant stop people to launched their own ICO. Scam or Legit ones they do always have the bounty allocated always since its always being part of their marketing plan. The thing to be concerned here is those bounty hunters will have the higher risk on joining useless bounty campaigns because of the numerous or large number of shitty ICO existing as of now in the market.The more ICO the less possible successful on making money on those campaigns.

I think everyone has their own way. Perhaps you think of ICO and Bounty but others have different opinions. And if you understand then they all do that because they have got the results they want. So you do not impose the will of a person, Never assume a person in a single point of view. Let's see how a project is developed and how the Campaign can help to develop a Project that is owned simultaneously and within a predetermined time frame. Usually Pre ICO and ICO become the most effective time to do that.

It is true that there are several scam projects out there and a lot of them them will burst as you have rightly expounded and that will create a room for the more serious projects to launch as well and have a platform to reach the amount of audiences that is needed. However, the end of the ICOs is not going to end just yet because the entire market is decentralised and newbies coming into the space will continue to fall prey of such ICOs.

Concerning the future of campaign, a lot of opportunity will also be open because advertisement will now be focused on quality rather than quantity. People who want to join campaigns will then have to go through serious screening and deliver content for what they are being paid, the forum will get a lot more saner as the activities will be about quality and finally the amount to be paid will also increase because quality is now being delivered.

I'm tempted to agree that ICOs are in a bubble, but you also have to look at the amount of money waiting to enter the cryptocurrency space. The CME Group (biggest exchange in the world) just announced that they are launching BTC futures markets, due to pent-up consumer demand.

I think we can expect that the demand for ICOs will taper just like any market correction. However, I believe the next wave of ICO investment will be far bigger and will eclipse the current wave by miles. It will be like comparing the 2013 bubble to the 2017 bubble (which hasn't even finished yet).

I hold the opposite way of thinking, I think we are going to see even more icos in the future, why will they stop? There is more money to be made than ever, the total market cap of all the coins is above 180 billion, I will not be surprised if that went up in 5 years up to one trillion dollars, with so much money to be had it is ridiculous to think icos are going to slow down, I think we are going to see an explosion of icos even bigger than what we are seeing now.

What I came to know is even though government regulate ICO's the owners should spend money on marketing, so still there is a chance for campaign because without marketing would get awareness about the project.

I’m tired of this ICO promises, honestly. Maybe not all but most of them are using convincing words that in reality are just scamming everyone. This time that ICO is trusted is totally gone. That’s why I’m one of them who support they’re regulation and pursue them punished those person with this illegal activities.

ICO, still hoping that it will soon comeback to a trustworthy projects. This is what I want and maybe all of us want. But is it doable? It is when we work to report scam developers and exposed they’re intentions.

Of course the scarcity of Icos will not affect only rates of bounty campaigns but may keep this forum out of earning opportunities.
Signature campaigns are extremly responsible for all the greatness of this forum , thus helpful too to members like us.
The global governments have not banned Icos yet proportionately, hence the Icos can run longer.

ICOs and Bounties will not die. They will professionalize, as it will be harder and harder for "rookie" ICO teams and "rookie" bounty hunters to make a significant profit out of such activities. This is the same cycle as could be seen with e.g. eBay - at the start, anyone could make money by selling anything from used stuff to unwanted gifts. Today 99% are pros, and if you "just want to sell your old couch", there is nothing for you there to look for ;)

Firstly, the decision of SEC to take down ICOs or check them if they are going to keep their words or not is actually fantastic. We really need someone to protect us, not after getting stuck by investing in an ICO, but by reviewing these ICOs and giving a fair decision over what to be done and what not.
Bounty campaigns will surely change the values in BTC but not in fiat, still, it all depends on what kind of project is it and how much investment is needed.
I have seen many devs claiming that when bounty campaigns don't work, they decide and stop these campaigns but not the project. They keep the project going and work on it, try their best to complete what they have promised and come up with the finished product.

I believe that future of ICO's will be more regulated by authorities and maybe it will help to reduce number of scam projects. I think that it won't affect bounty campaigns much. If they are paying in BTC, they will just adjust rates by Bitcoin price in USD. If campaign paying in tokens, I don't think that their rates really matters. Why? Because they only giving promises that these tokens will be worth thousands of dollars after certain period. It more depends on how successful ICO is and how project continue development after it.

For those people who invest in ICOs and have been scammed would be very careful in investigating the next ICO he would invest in or better yet he would not be investing in ICOs anymore because of the fear of being scammed again and he wlready lost his trust. The false or scam ICOs would definitely have a big effect on the legit ones because people would be skeptic in investing even if they have a working product. Maybe there would be lesser bounty campaigns in this forum and the scam ones would be reduce as well. Some people may just think of buying the coin when it hit exchanges because most just dump their coins upon hitting exchanges and the price would be lesser than ICO price and those that have viable projects would eventually go up. Personally, I prefer this way so that I can avoid being scam in ICO.

No one will stop these ICO's unless there will be another token type software that can replace erc20 tokens or the whole ICO funding. Bounty campaign's will be staying there as this forum has a lot of traffic so each company will still consider this thing. I'm expecting that these bounty campaigns will never stop as it gives a big awareness to the members here.

Yea your are right about this , they will pop out every day, they offer some good perspective but some end up to be nothing worth.
Sorry but this is the only option they will come out (even more of them per day) but how much will they worth is something completely different.

Most are worth nothing but from time to time pop out single good perspective and very good ICO.

ICOs are totally the bubble bath that helps bitcoin to give some bump and buff to it's current price. The dumping scenario is just happening after it's now on the exchanges as their investors will for surely going to dump them. And I don't think these bubbles from ICOs will affect bounty campaigns, they will never stop as it's the best way to market out their projects and tokens. Changing of rates are expected as most of them are only depending to their stakes/shares.

If there is profit opportunity, there will be investors. These ICOs are very profitable and some people are becoming experts on this theme. Most AltCoins are useless compared to other currencies and their descriptions are just empty words. I'm not sure if this hype will end soon, until there the rates will continue like now and the number of ICOs will continue like now as well.

ICO project will keep pumping up and I think we would have many of them coming up in years to come. If you look at what is happening now many projects do come up with different ideas and if you go through their white paper you will find out that most of the projects are developed to solved human problems and because humans problem are limitless it then mean ico projects will be limitless as far as cryptocurrencies markets remains. I don't believe that bounty program will come to an end one day on this forum but the price of the promoters may reduce.

Indeed there are many ICO's coming this days but stopping it will just be a nuisance because you can't stop them and they're unstoppable because everyday there are new coins they want to be developed. I don't have grudge on these ICO's since they can help community but the problem is almost all of them are scams and just few really make it to be good because these ICO's just gather funds and just leave for nothing leaving there investors from the money they get. Hope also that investors just invest what they can afford to lose because it's really risky to invest on ICO.

i have participated in few bounties till now response is good & as long as we rewarded for work done by us i think there is nothing wrong in this bounty campaign until unless ico is gud

Ico expansion coming in last six months. One year earlier there don't have much ico's and bounties. So nothing new in this situation.
People will be more careful with new project because of lot of scam. It is mean bounty program will insist to mor quality marketing if they want to have successfull ico.
It can be good

I joined one bounty and was hoping to get good profit on it but my hopes went crashing down when the coin value dropped down to half its ICO price. That was the first time I witnessed investors getting angry and disappointed over their investment. Still waiting to be paid on that bounty and hopefully its value will go up by the time we get paid.

I am a witness too, expansion of icos and bounty campaigns is happening this year only. There are many icos, when eve I open twiter or come here first what I see is some new ico sale or presale. All of them are writing about millions invested in their projects, fornme its hard to believe that all of them will be successful, more likely will be that most of this icos will turn out to be scams. I must agree with you that in future there will be more quality, this is just a start and like always people will learn on mistakes.

Thats right because we found many signature campaigns for gambling site, bitcoin related service projects only. Most of signature campaigns mostly opened any new ICO only.
I would like to be the forum campaign to be change the campaign openings like before.
If you are ICO investors still you can believe the ICO which shows the proper information about the project in their white paper and having good escrows.

They are only getting started and keeping up the good and brillant work will stay put the possibilty to go up high in the future. I think it will change for some because nothing is permanent wether it is bad or good it will change.

In my opinion ICOS and Rewards will continue, the frauds will disappear and only quality projects will move on, as the system will be strict for the owner of ICO and also for the bounty hunters, all in view of the Marketing.

They're very risky because you never know how the project will do and if it will be worth anything. You can get lucky and see a huge rise in value, but you can also help scammers cheat people out of their money. I think the campaign s will become even more popular because there's always a lot of people with not enough money to start investing but a lot of time to spend.
