How look bounty crypto legit or scam??
..because any bounty that nothing or never update spreadsheet...
sometimes there is also a new post that shares still newbie

Bounty is free ,nothing to lost.

Join a bounty of such ICO that already raised considerable amount of money. Because projects usually dedicate specific percentage for bounty so 3% of $3,000,000 is much more than 5% of $200,000.
Also read what is the project about. You should be at least slightly interested in their business.

I am biased here, but go check out Ice Rock Mining. Spreadsheet is public and there is relatively small number of bounty participants so each person will get more tokens ;)

Well actually its not free, because you are rendering your services for you to get a bounty. Airdrop is free, but still be careful on joining a bounty/airdrop because some of them are total waste of time and effort and sometimes ended up as a scam. Make some research about that coin, read the project and participate later on.

Its true that bounty is not free though you can have it in an easiest way but still not free. Its not hard to analyze if the project are scam because some are still shit on making details on their site and even on a white paper but you better to be careful and don't expect something in return easily.

The gift of ICO does have an opportunity to earn money. There are so many who jump here despite a little capital.
Try to join and if successful enjoy the results.

the thing to consider in choosing a project to follow a bounty project is to read the white paper. whether the project has white paper or not, then the developers of the project, see the background if it can be up to its social media. then the profit bid whether promising or not. maybe that's just my experience when choosing a bounty project

totally agreed and there will always no assurance that they will pay you, it will depends on the devs if they will pay the bounty hunters although it will give a negative impression to them in the community if they will not to.

The bounty is that you work to pick up the coins. It can be considered free. but a lot of scam bounty. You will lose time on them. and just look at their project. If you are delicate then you will recognize them by reading the roadmap. white paper and actuality of the project

Hi, from my point of view, the underlying point of a bounty program is: a healthy token project, especially those on track for success, should have an active community of stakeholders. This is true when we’re talking about bitcoin, benjaCoin, and everything in-between.

Please for God's sake try to learn English or go to your language section. What's wrong with you guys, use google translator at least.
And learn how to use forum search, that question have been debated for a thousand times.

Baunti it is advisable to choose which at least is,accounts on Twitter,Facebook,telegram is a road map well to delve into this project, he has any chances or not.

I believe that in fact this is a very difficult question, because I saw that you can buy white paper. I believe that the main criterion is the amount of funds raised, the activity of developers (well, as an example, the number of posts in social networks). But in fact it is very difficult to know what developers really want. I advise very much not to delve into the drafts of the project, but simply to participate in all seemingly decent. But this is my personal opinion, it's up to you to decide) Good luck!

You can check the bounty manager's past works, also you can try the platforms like bountyhive.io
There're some scammer teams that doesn't pay for your efforts.

Its a good strategy also to look for the manager of that bounty cause I believe good manager always accept bounty campaign which they think can protect their reputation but of course you still need to do your own research. A lot of scam bounties so never fall on that shit and regret the time you render their, read everything about that coin.

if ICO initially thought as the roguish project - you won't see that, they will do everything most probably on the successful project

Look at bounty manager, analyze how much paticipants with high ranks, read term carefully, caltulate estimated rewards

From the Scam there is no insurance only at your own risk.

Perhaps best checking out the project manager first, usually a good manager will select the project that will be published and checked and can guarantee he can also produce, especially the manager will maintain his reputation so as not to be tarnished with a scam project.
after that just check the project team, and do not forget to read though a glance about the project.
And more important ...... hope with luck that we will follow is successful and not a scam (fortune can not be avoided).
Happy hunting ........

I agree that it is necessary to study the project, the team , the roadmap, the spreadsheet ( if there is no spreadsheet, it is impossible to track participation in the project).  In my opinion it is possible to learn that this fraud only in one case after completion of the company.

Investing in ICO, due not regulated at all atm, is really risky..thats why you need to do a lot of your own research. Do not fall for hypes or some shady groups.

it's all free the only thing we lose is our time. bounty campaign which was integrated on their ico website will be promising and legit

But still better to know more about that specific project so will not be wasted later on. Reading all the information and understanding the specific coin will help you decide to participate or invest on that coin, and by this you can tell if its legit or just a waste of time.

Firstly try and read the whitepaper and get more information about the people who are associated with the team. Do ask them the question during the Q&A or on telegram and see what reply or vision they have for future. If it is worth do invest some money and do not invest all in 1 ICO . Also see how is the response on this forum during their promotional activities happening.

on my experience, I will check out of the web, the team of project, the manager bounty program, and many things to analyze of the project.
The point is you have always to observe discussion on telegram group

sometimes the share is still newbie.dan update spreadsheet is not there .. so doubt .. still bngung to determine its

sometimes also his roadmap is not clear .. what else share the newbie so doubt

It's better to start searching from the product or the problem they solve. Then analyze the team. Then check the everyone in the team. Sometimes members of the teams already were in previous projects. You can watch they were successful or nah. And then you have to pray that all the time you spend on bounty campaign will be profitable because it's true that around 80 percent of the ICO even doesn't go on exchange.

Indeed, it's like playing roulette, you can win, or you can lose. It happens that the necessary and well-thought-out projects of the ICO do not succeed and do not collect sufficient funds, but, on the contrary, they do not do anything remarkable-they succeed. And fraudulent projects are sometimes impossible to distinguish. Of course, you need to get acquainted with the documents of ICO and his team, but this does not give a complete guarantee that the ICO will not be fraudulent.

Well, there's still a possibility to lose.
Let's say you are working hard to gain followers on Twitter so you can make more shares / tokens per post.
If you pick bad projects / scams too often, you will lose followers. Followers and time are the assets of bounty hunters...

Bounty might be free but it doesnt mean that you dont lose nothing. How would you consider on wasting up your precious time and effort?Its still considered as a valuable thing.We might not able to put up any money from it but it is hardly acceptable that we do waste time and hardwork into nothing. Searching out every project wont really assure you to avoid scams and failures into these bounty programs.

 If you are delicate then you will recognize them by reading the roadmap. white paper and actuality of the project. As more information you have then better for you. Analyse everything about campaign and think think about preparing in it

Read the whitepaper and the roadmap, check the team and it's community. If it's hype enough then you can join the bounty. Pick the campaign managed by a trusted manager then I guess you're good to go.

Look for team, for partners, also very important is quality of content and quality of official site! BUT sometime nothing work and you got to a scam...)

now a lot of coin with a new name that almost equal .. so we must be more careful again choose bounty campaign

I usually go to abc to work for the good bounty .. so less will be scam

The profit can be from 100% to 1000% if you have even 5-20 coins, then the profit can be as much as $ 5-20 and $ 500 or $ 2,000, the main thing is to choose the right project to study the team, past work, now it's more than 50% of the scam...

Things you do mention is implying a bounty managers work which isn't really an accurate thing to be spot on to know if the bounty program would be legit or not but somehow we can presume that it is a shitty project if the manager do mishandles it in the very first place.If you don't understand on how he manage people then better to get out and jump into much better project but knowing and telling off between legit and scam is the most challenging part for bounty seekers.

First of all bounty should had good website and good ANN, than team and deeper, imo

Searching a good bounty that is legit is just easy task , here in bitcointalk most of the bounty campaigns here are legit. But its just a matter of time when you can really tell that the bounty is a scam. When the bounty ends and there is no updates regarding the distributions of bounty allocations to their participants , that is when the bounty campaign is a scam. Reagrding about the updates of spreadsheets in the bounty campaigns , sometimes it is delay for them to update the entire spreadsheets of the bounty.

the scam, of course, does not have the correct flow of funds if in check on the wallet and the new investors. In addition to a team that handles ICO scam also has an identity that is not clear.

I think, it is very difficult to guess bounty scam, because I do not see any signs bounty will scam. All bounty programs offer a good allocation. But the habits that I do before choosing a bounty of looking at websites, white paper, development team, and bounty managers. Some of these points I did before the list to bounty program. Maybe you can do the same thing as me.

very difficult to distinguish bounty scam or not a scam. high or low rank does not become a benchmark. some are released by newbie, but seriously. but it also becomes a consideration of success or failure of a project.

You must be smart to do the analysis, without any analysis then you can not get a legit bounty. Nowadays there is a lot of bounty done by newbie and they do not keep a guarantee on an escrow, that is worrying because there is no clear certainty, So we must be really smart in looking at various information that can help us to make decisions. Bounty is a thing that is sought by the user here because by following bounty then we have the opportunity to earn income, but need to struggle because not bounty can make us comfortable, sometimes they cheat and then run away without any traces they leave behind.

Big names are not a guarantee, which is a guarantee of data and also strong information that can support the success or failure of a bounty of many projects.

Very good advice so far in this thread about scam ico’s.  The scams don’t hang around long after the ico ends.  They pack their loot and off to wherever to plan the next one.  So one thing I always check on is how long have the developers or coin been around.  Do they have a history to judge their performance by?  Granted ico’s are typically fast events but still background research can help to avoid wasting your time chasing every coin offer out there.  Very few will float to the top in the long term so it is important to find as much info as possible to make the best decisions possible.  I have found a couple good ones this spring that have been around awhile and will be around awhile.  Marinecoín stands out though because of the generous bounty they are offering.  20,000 .MTC. to help promote their ico.  Time dilution technology is being used to insure fair distribution to as many people as possible.  That will create a loyal strong community which every coin needs to prosper.  Having a decent chunk of the pie does make a big difference to me at least.  The blockchain is designed for iot applications so has inherent value from the start.  You can find more from their website just use a search engine for Marinecoín should be top result. 

It's almost impossible to know which bounty campaign is scam or legit until the end of bounty campaign and then you'll know it's a scam one if you don't receive token for you work :)).

But you can easily avoid joining in scam bounty campaign by following truthworthy bounty managers and only join bounty campaign managed by these managers

Use trusted sources of info - you can even google "bounty campaings cryptocurrencies" etc... Also you should check who's managing the campaign.

There no 100% guaranties, any bounty can be scam,  you should check very carefully.

This tab will help you find every bounty present on this platform : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0

One can easily notice a number of new bounties and airdrops everyday, moreover due to large scale popularity of this forum many of the bounties will be crowded. So, in this crowd how to find a legit or scam bounty can be tough. Even if you try to follow most experienced Bounty Mangers like sylon, Hotachy and many more, you will look that even there bounties were sometime under the tab of scam. So, I can only advice to observe a bounty for some time and rest depends upon the team and market.

I think it is not possible for now! May be one day they will be managed by some regulatives, and it will be under low and will have rules. Who knows

I agree with you there is no guarantee that the bounty campaign is not a scam.90% of the Campaign is a fraud. If you follow 10 campaigns, only 1 campaign is likely not a scam

If about that problem, I do not know much, what I do just get in the project campaign. But as far as it can watch from its ico website. Such as reading from the their whitepapper. There is much information about the development team and the vision and mission of the project coin. If in my opinion good, maybe it's not a scam. Good luck to hunting project campaign. :)

Default things... read WP and roadmap, check the team and it's community. If it's hype enough then u can join the bounty. Pick the campaign managed by a trusted manager then I guess u're good to go.

The first thing you need to pay attention to this site. It should have the HTTPS protocol, have a good and thoughtful design that works on all the trash. Next, you need to study the very idea of ​​the project. If it is innovative and perspective, then continue on. You study the project team. it is desirable that the team were well-known and strong people. And lastly you study white paper

bounty choice is entirely luck and gamble. Unfortunately, the results may sometimes undergo disappointed. No investment should be made without examining the entire project. for example; team, social media addresses, supporters,white paper, the ideas ...

See if you join any bounty you offer your services and put your time and efforts so it must be legit one. The project team must be active on telegram and the amount raised by them must be transparent. The objective of the ICO must be unique and coin must offer some title utilities to public. Read the whitepaper of the project and then join any bounty or invest because its your time and money don't waste it on scams.

Every bounty campaign is linked to an ICO project, you have to check the project itself and study it carefully before joining its bounty campaigns.
If the project looks unstable or going to fail or illegal, then avoid joining any of its bounty campaigns. Participate only in the bounties linked to powerful and promising ICO projects.

I do not think all the ICOs are luck only. At least maximum you will be able to get the half the value than the estimated value on the pre sale time. I always go with the bounties with the managers point of view.
To invest the ICO means we need to read the white paper and developer team information you will get the better understand about the project with this mate.

addition of me, learn and analyze the project first, then the developer manager, who and how the experience works, then you just can follow the bounty project

legit and scam is difficult to distinguish because very similar. Sometimes there really is a bounty update spreadsheet late that common so don't immediately conclude it is a scam.

We can only follow their project but if they begin ask for the your private key,it means they scamming.

Almost any bounty campaign can be a scam, so before you take part in any bounty campaign, you need to study the project.

pretty easy imo, look at the team running the project and communication on social channels. good luck hunters ;)

You need to the project research first before choosing any campaign to work for.

See the project, team, working product, MVP etc. If you are satisfied then choose to work.

Bounties are been managed mostly by 3rd party professionals do check which of these organizations are managing the bounties eg Krypital, G0blin, bountyhive, bounty0x etc

a legit crypt or a scam can only be expected at the beginning, for certainty we can only see at the end or ongoing ICO.

so that the bounty we are working on does not become useless, we should be able to see and predict the future of the project, we can see through whitepaper, website, team, roadmap, ICO structure etc.

Managers with Newbie accounts do not mean scams or bad projects. But there are some of their projects that require a new account. So do not ever doubt if there is a bounty program with newbie account manager.

Some people do details on their website, and you need to be careful not to believe what they give you in return. This is just my current experience in choosing a reward.

I doubt if there is any way to know about a legit bounty. Even the bounties managed by renowned managers came out to be scam or runaway. So, there isn't sure shot way. Usually bounties start before the commencement of the ICO. Therefore, you don't have much data to analyze upon. Try to read the project and search about the team. But there isn't any foolproof way.

Exactly,  a newbie manager doesn't means that the bounty is a scam or fake. There are companies who don't hire managers here and are new to bitcointalk. They make their own accounts and run the campaigns. There isn't anything wrong in that.

There is no way, nobody can predict a result. Analyze the project, think on how much it is applicable, whether the idea is interesting, whether there is a finished product, who is behind it, advisers, venture funds, well-known companies. In what media are publications about the project. See the rating sites. The easiest way is to go into the campaign after the project has already collected the soft cap, but in this case you will have little time and low amount of stakes.

it is very difficult to understand. sometimes it can escape even the eyes of the professionals. you need to be a bit lucky to understand that. besides experience and knowledge.

If you are only participating to bounty campaign, there's nothing to worry about those scams, because you have nothing to lose if you just participating on it. But if you're really interested on it and you really want to earn from it, then try to apply in all bounty campaigns, because i'm sure there are a few campaigns that's definitely reliable and profitable, just don't loss hope.

Of course, maintaining a spreadsheet campaign's electronic spreadsheet is very important, since it allows you to see that your messages are taken into account, which means your work is not wasted. However, I had many cases when the spreadsheet was not maintained during the ICO, and the counting of shares and tokens was made simultaneously, and as a result, the ICO campaign was successful. The ICO projects for the participants of the generosity campaign are like a lottery, here you can lose, or you can win. Predicting in advance the ICO result is very difficult, regardless of whether you studied the ICO project and its team, or not.

The bounty is linked to the ICO project, you need to study the project itself carefully firstly, to distingue if its good to investing your time and effort in its bounty campaigns or not. If the project looks not safe or valueless, then most likely its bounty too is going to be a scam.

Its licence that generosity is not release though you carry it in an easiest manner however still not free.

You will know that the bounty and the ico is a scam if you will look at their team members and leader, if the person or people listed on the team is no publicly shown then you must trust your instincts and you will know right away that the ico and bounty is a scam, that is what I am looking for in a bounty.

Maybe this can help you to find some new bounty.

Bounty is an opportunity to earn, and possibly not. It's like the lottery - sooner( a year ago) it was the source - now a swamp - maybe not drown. Watch and observe, and then take the ico

ICO ecть вoзмoжнocть зapaбoтaть дeньги,жeлaтeльнo выбpaть тaкoй гдe ecть Twitter,Facebook, telegram!Coвeтyю oчeнь нe yглyблятьcя в пpoeкты , a пpocтo yчacтвoвaть вo вcex

I think that the most effective way to check a campaign or project is to communicate with the team in the Telegram channel. If this is a real project, then the team will answer your questions.

You evaluation the charitableness manager's passed efforts, furthermore you try the podium adoration bountyhive.io. There're any chiseler sides that doesn't pay for your efforts.

actually, I do not really trust this platform very much, since many bitcointalk users negatively speak about it. In most cases, there is no payment for the work done in bounty campaigns.

It is very difficult to determine a scam bounty at the initial stage. You will understand only when you will not be paid and banned in all chat rooms. Simply put, when you will be deceived)

It's been a lot of times that talk about negative things about the platform bountyhive.io but I know the platform still pays every participant just not given 100% to every participant who follow the prize campaign may be that caused disappointment.

You can differentiate a legitimate ICO from a scam over time, you can see how attentive the bounty manager is, if the spreadsheets are updated correctly and on time, if the stakes are well distributed, if the benefits they promise are accessible and if their goals can be met in a reasonable time, this are some tips that can help you in your bounty hunting.

you can search and distinguish legit or scam bounty by looking from some information and reading from some of the existing media, for example https://icobench.com/icos there you can search ico with help by expert advisors with blockchain and can determine the ico.

Icobench and other more icolisting sites are best identifier if the project is good but sometimes we cannot rely on them always since there are so many scam projects has been reviewed good by them and sometimes those who are low in rank are fully delivered good to their bounty participants.

You have to establish your own approach how to check project quality and go through the list in order to determine project quality. Quick summary of my approach is as follows:
- Check project website and look through all materials including WP, team bios, etc.
- Double check all main points of the story
- Check ICO ratings web-sites such as icodrops.com, icoholder.com, etc.    
- Check project Telegram group.
- Look at who is bounty manager.
- Make a decision on whether the project worth your further attention.

In my opinion It is possible to argue that a scam company could hire a professional white paper copywriter and still come up with an excellent proposal. Thank you....

for now it seems to have been very difficult to distinguish bounty legit or bounty scam, but you should when you want to be a bounty participant you should see from the ico team, make sure that all information in whitepapper and from the team is also clear.

Not sure yet, I do many projects update and post regularly. But when the review, they said that the project was suspended for some reason. shameful

Just do what the investors do in their search for a legit investment because if there is no research or background checking then there will be a huge risk for the investors because they will not find out if the team is legit or the project is real at the first place so if you want to become a successful bounty hunter then act as an investor and do what they are doing.

First of all pay attention to the manager and his trust. Now bad managers are painted in red, which makes it easier to find bounty campaigns. If the manager is a novice, then check whether there is a project on the radar of large sites dedicated to the ICO.

We need to look at the team and see if people will need it in the future. If this is a bounty project you need to watch which Manager. A good Manager will not take control of a bad project.

There are many scam ico's now... and honestly it becomes more difficult to identify their... and above all, you need to spend a lot of time researching them.

I also tried several campaigns on supported platforms. As an example, bountyplatform will have some exclusive and reputable campaigns for you, try it.

If the project does not have proper or experienced team mates then there are possible chances that project may get dumbbed on way.

Dude, i would summerize few points to look at when filtering an ICO legit or scam.

Read the white paper, confirm and dig more about the company or ICO on sites, confirm how long they are existing in infrastructure, know their acheivwments in the past, get to know their team members profiles and thier future roadmap. These details will certainly confirm you of  a legit or a scam ICO.

I think that there no one will give a 100% guarantee that the Bounty Company has good potential. In any case, you can give a lot of examples, where experienced specialists in the crypto currency market are also mistaken and fall into the trap of fraudsters.

to be able to see and look for bounty legit and mark bounty scam nowadays it is very difficult because at this time very much bounty try to be legit but when ico finished they become scam, and there are some ico like that, so better you should be more be careful and make sure it is registered at https://icobench.com/icos and founder of ico is already doing KYC so that the founder can be in criminal wear if scam.

There are many ico that are scam nowadays. Some are fail to get and collect enough funds to sustain their project. But there are still many legit ico we just need to be patience in finding and reading some of their whitepaper to know if that project has a potential to become successful. Its about your own understanding if you think that project is worth to invest. You just need to ne careful.

If a person does not have enough knowledge to better choose ico companies, it is better to pay attention to professionals whose authority is important to you or to whom you trust and repeat their actions, choosing the same as they. And also learn to make the right choice at the same time.

You should have enough experience to indicate correctly if there's a scam or not, because scammers are too good nowadays. :-[

whenever they will listening their ico and bounties companies and though they bring an exchange instantly and their community to be strong or loyal. Some scammer come to this platform for their own benefit.  And more bounties comes to it platform and more benefit for their honesty or loyalty.  So you just go their roadmap or whitepaper.

If you want to know that bounty is legit or not so you need to read their whitepaper and visit their social media know about their team this will help you to know bouty is scam or legit.

There's no way to know the status of the bounty company until it's over. An example the PDATA. The project is not a Scam, but the developers broke off relations with the company that led the bounty company on the forum. Bounty hunters have been involved in bounty for several months, and now they have lost the prospect of getting their tokens. :o

In most cases when you do bounty it's hard to know whether it's scam or not. I usually before there how to start doing the bounty, I study the project, the team, the site, the idea of ​​the project. And if it seems to me that everything is in vain, then I proceed to implement. But even this does not always give a one hundred percent guarantee

First you need to read the white paper, read and check the entire team, and then follow the updates on social networks and fees for ICO
