Guys, what do you think about bounty campaigns? in or out? why?

I have an agenda, will reveal in the future after hearing your answers and whys  :)


****After reading some comments- let me rephrase: I am not trying to decide whether I should join a campaign. I am interested in hearing what you all have to say about this process and its value to the ICO.

Do you think bounty campaign makes the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful ICOs?

Do you think maybe the fact that a lot of people just joining without really understanding and just promoting 5-6 ICO's at a time is actually bad for those ICO's, making them look unprofessional or "cheap"? 

I would say go for it, If you don't have a signature campaign that you can join and I think a lot is right now, because there is just a limited member that is needed in certain signature campaigns you can sure try out bounty campaigns that an ICO would give you a decent amount of the token as reward for your service, And as you can see most of their tokens are ERC 20 tokens that would let you exchange on ether delta and if you had a Myetherwallet account, I think a lot of this ICO are trustworthy in giving their token to you and you can sure get decent amount in investing time with these bounty rewards so good luck.

its a nice thing to do, i mean you need to make some promotion ofcourse like fb twitter yt blog or signature campaign. Youll get paid from that, despite youll receive something in return to promote the project youll learn to how that project work and add some new knowlede for your self

I think the bounty program is still an interesting agenda and the best way to market a project, it will also be a separate award to [any member in various countries available on their local thread, because they not only participate in bounty, but will also invest if they believe the project they support is interesting.

I take part in them, but only in case I trust a project and it's really good.

Making the ICO look bad:  definitely if you got quickposters running around discussing an ICO without understanding it.  I stay away from these coins. I am guilty of this in early bounty hunting days so I try hard now to be mindful of the facts, embrace rationality, and do my homework about coins and coin tech.  In the last campaign, I got a few posts by making word clouds for people out of their post history!

Side effect of bounty rewards:  if ICO does not raise a lot of funds and gives out too many bounty rewards the coin price can tank due to dumping.  Fortunately legit projects will see a correction but it still puts a hamper on early development if the ICO means to pay for development with tokens.

I think signature campaigns are required, because there are too many ICOs going on at the same time, it is very difficult to get your name out there unless you have a signature campaign. And the more tenured members have greater signatures which look very professional as well, so I think signatures making your ICO look cheap shouldn't worry you.

bounty campaigns are great... who wouldn't want to be rewarded for chatting on bitcointalk when most of us are already doing so? if you are not participating, it's just money that you are leaving on the table.

The hard part of bounty campaigns is finding the ones that are worth your while. There are a lot of junk ones out there.

Well I don't have a job so for me the bounties are my life so without these I have no idea what we would have done or how we would have survived. So I am really grateful that these freelancing jobs exist for people like me at my age who can't secure a regular job or income. We rely solely on crypto earnings now in our family as neither my husband or myself have a regular job anymore. IF YOU ARE ALSO contributing real value to each project you are engaging in then it is great both for the ICO AND for the bounty hunter. I am only upset with two things re bounties. IF DEVELOPERS ARE SCAMMERS AND IF BOUNTY HUNTERS CHEAT and don't follow set instructions.  :)

Good to see something really benefiting from it. I also joined few months ago recently joined few bounty, so far got paid from one, expecting few more payment from couple of bounty, then i can decide if it's worth or not :)

I like em. You can promote a project you like and earn a little by doing it - why not :)

Yes it does matter to the ICO, there are tons of them so marketing them is difficult unless you have a lot of money to throw at it. It gives very good exposure. ICOs are often still invested in in a close community, most people don't even know what an ICO is. No I don't think it looks cheap at all, although you could safe some on choosing specific languages for translation in your bounty. I think Signatures and social media might be the most important part of marketing an ICO, bounty wise. What does look cheap is people spamming referral links. Signatures make me aware of ICOs that i'd else probably would not have noticed. Such as Universa.

But for illustration purposes check out some websites like icoalert.com and icobench.com and see how crowded it is with ICOs. If you want to meet your targets you will have to do some marketing.

Bounty campaigns are important because you are hitting the right target audience. If you advertise on mumsnet then you won't get much in return! The key really is having a good campaign manager which can in turn attract the right bounty hunters ;D

Fully support. bounty is advertising, and in fact not very costly. And the effect it gives is good.

First of all you got a point with your question; I think bounty campaigns are totally necessary in order to get attention for those altcoins however if I will participate in any I always read if it is a good project or scam. I won’t like to promote any scam.
Also, for people like me that we don’t have cash to invest bounties are the best way to participate and gain profits for your time.

We've just started our bounty campaign earlier today and think they are very valuable. It's great to have enthusiasm from other members showing belief in your project and your aims.

We hope our campaign will lead to a very good ICO sale and hope to reward our Bounty campaigners with tokens which not only increase in value, but give them a share of the profits each and every quarter in Ethereum!!

I think bounty campaigns make a huge difference int he success of an ico when done right. Also like that they involve the community as well

thank you all for the reply! you've been helpful  :)

Bounty campaigns are good and i am in for them. Who wouldn't like to get rewarded for doing only the promotion of the projects and chit chats. The main thing is you have to choose the right one .

On the one hand it is quite cheap and effective way of promotion. But on the other hand there are many bounty hunters who are chasing profit so they make reposts and posts about almost every single ICO. So this makes me think about quality of such campaign...

this is exactly why I was wondering...  for me, if I see the same person promoting tones of ICO's, It will make me want to stay away from them.

Personally i like Bounty campaigns, because they give good tokens for small work. You can have multiple Bounties at once, which is good for max profit.

These bounty campaigns are nothing more than a cheap or otherwise free form of a currency if you promote it in the community. Look at most ANNs, 99% of coins only pay their own token, whoever enters simply does not know if they will win anything or if they will just waste their time.

But this is not a bad thing, bad and when a given currency allocates a very large revenue for these campaigns making after your end everyone who received the bonuses pour the currency in the market and make the price of it go on the ground. In short, the bounty campaign is a good move for a successful ICO, but there is a need to balance what is sold and what is free.

Definitely IN. The number one requirement for a successful ICO is often good marketing. Even if you have the best idea, product, and team, you are not going to make money on an ICO without marketing the project. You will raise no money. Many crypto followers read this forum, and if they see the signatures people wear, they will see that, and even if they don't click on the project website, it subconsciously makes them think "oh yeah i heard about that project before" and more likely to have a positive idea of the project.

I think it is one of the most importany ways for marketing your ICO. You just need to define the campaign structure to attract the right people and rest of marketing will be done by bounty hunters. A good stratergies bounty campaign is significant for a successful ICO.

I am IN to it. I like being part of a bounty campaign. I think if the hounters read or not the ICO that they are promoting I would rage it   2outof10 because no one of us wants to be scam so we would take time to read the campaign that we belong to.

Bounties using users to PR mouth to mouth word and return users with some kind of payments. It's a good way to PR.

bounty should be upgraded.

I hope more people are like you, actually reading and understanding what they are promoting.

Sometime Bounty projects are good specially when they manage to bring the project successfully but, Sometimes i was frustrated about bounty campaigns because there are projects looses the integrity of what they promised in their proposal specially in dealing with payouts to their participants. Why most of the participants keep complaining?

I agree!! believe it will happen soon enough. any thoughts about how bounty campaign should look like?

Yes i think we have to join the bounty campaigns.As we know that the very less person rquired into the signature campaigns and newbie,jr.member can't take part into the signature campaigns so they have to no choice.The reaward of bounty is very small than the signature campaigns but working on bounty is also very easy than the signature campaigns.And you can join multiple bounty like facebook and twitter at one time ,that's  also benefits for you.And the success of project also depends on the bounty.so i think bounty campaigns are more important.

I can say that bounty campaigns had different  task you can join all even in one bounties just be patient on it.Bounty campaign are so exciting and be more exciting when it comes if your hardword became fruitful.

i think bounties campaign are one of many element which help ICOs succeed but contribution is not too large. A successful project the most important is idea, team, product... because for a bad project then bounties campaign also can't do it succeed.
This is not problem if you use your account to promotion many ICOs at the same time because it help ICOs approach potential customers

Bounty campaign is a good way to promote news coins/tokens to the crowd, because of less prepare so ico now must have these bounty program. If you do not want to waste time then we must research bounty program/ico before join because many bounty program fails to pay users.

I think bounties are a good way of advertising in our current crypto market. I've stumbled upon projects that i would never have otherwise because of some bounties in the past, and i'm sure many people can relate to this.

Bounties are a good way to earn tokens with little work put into it.
They are also a decent way to advertise your ICO using banners and avatars.
Bounties often require that you post in facebook pages or twitter which is another way to get the message around regarding the upcoming ICO.

I think bounty campaigns is still a good way to promote ICO on this site. I believe most ICO's chose to promote in bitcointalk because it is still the number one bitcoin forum on the planet and chance of having positive outcome their product would notice by many people and investors.
I think to be a succesful ICO depends on the quality of the product, transparency, originality, the team, code, website, etc. that is I think most observers are looking after for.

bounty campaign makes difference between fail and success ico's because bounty campaign aims for promoting the coin and without using on their own pocket to do the marketing so they decide to run a bounty campaign to promote their coin and there are some coin who have bounty campaign and failed because they didnt got alot of attention or not enough participants to promote.

Could you please give me advise where to find good ICO bounties and how? Thank you so much.

I would like you to know that i have a friend that is making these signature campaigns for a living,its a lot more easier to take profits from signatures than joining ICOs.

in my opinion, yes bounty campaign is still in need, especially in the process of fundraising (ICO), because if people have ideas, but do not have enough funds, then whether he should stop? the answer is no, bounty campaign is the answer, with low cost to do promotion, introduction of project idea and also fund raising

Bounty campaigns are simply essential for any sort of a project to publicize itself and in turn rewards everyone who helps it do so. Providing users with the project's own tokens as the incentive for spreading the word on various platforms like social media, blogs etc has become a a prototype for all ICO projects and this also helps the it by diluting a small part of the total circulating coin supply.
