Hello newbie,

I wanna share my experience with you about bounty/ ICO. In December 2017, there was so many ICOs that you could get x10 or x20 profit.  ;D

However, It was competitive to join in those hot ICO because of whitelistiing and gas war battle. I finally found one and get whitelisted. It guaranteed that every whitelisted member can contribute with 1ETH. The market started to bearish in early Februry, I decided to contribute 0.5 ETH, at the same time, I also joined 1 bounty. As of today 03/23, the free tokens i got from bounty are still same price of ICO, but the tokens I bought from ICO goes down from 0.0005 ETH to 0.0002 ETH.  :'(

I realized that many ICO just goes down when they hit the exchange, with that experience, I mostly join bounty.
You have nothing to loose to join bounty but extra income.  :D

Do you have any experience with your ICO or bounty?

Hi there :)

I can relate your experience too as a moderate ICO Investor Im very clever in Investing Mode Im Checking Every Detailed Information about the project I used to Invest with if I sense that there something Fishy going on about the project or the platforms Information supplied is tampered or just copied from Another ICO's I dont give them and opportunity to robbed me either But in other case about the value of ICO tokens I think its normal even the BTC is used to experience that also in primary days of listing in Exchange Cryptocurrency is very volatile investment it applies the same principles as *Supply and demand if the said Platform has already have a working product and impressive marketing campaign too* Im sure it will be skyrocketed as demand is increase because of Users influx to the working platform. *About Bounty its noble work and ICO marketer? you have to Invest only and effort and hardwork to bring the said Platform ICO into more audience and peoples attention or a possible investors as well* as and bounty hunter also, Bounty payment is and extra Income I used to Earned $150~ $400 in two months its not that Big but its a Money also to pay my bills specially Internet connection Bounty Hunting is not more complicated than Investing ICO and doing *Trading if Somethings go wrong you Only loss your Effort and Sweat Equity and Not your hard earned Money 8)

To many ico and not many money.

At this time, doing ico is often a loss because it is a bear market.

I've experienced things like that, join bounty telcoin when just enter the excange price 0.01 usd but now down 0.001683 I still save 70220 coin telcoin if sold now only 118 usd if sold from the beginning of the launch can get 700 usd.

Newbie is not the thing you should look at when choosing bounty over ICO, and this is the problem.

You choose bounties if:
1)You have a good skill that can be used. Maybe you make great videos. Maybe you write very good stories.
2)Then you must also have an active social media with lots of followers.
3)You want to really support the project honestly, not just shill it.

You choose ICO if:
1)You believe in the project and want to help contribute funding
2)You have spare money lying around.

Do it according to your abilities and do what you are good at, otherwise you won't get anything, but don't touch ico now.

i have an experience too, i join an fidentiax ico at that time ico rate is $0,6 and after listing on exchanger that rate increased at $1, i still hodl. but now that price become $0,08. i have 5000 tokens, but i still beleive with this project becauce have bright roadmap

We work together with a team of bounty campaigns. A large number of profiles on Bitcointalk, we are writing subscription campaigns. Facebook, Twitter is also covered. Each of us makes roughly from 10 Bounty campaigns simultaneously. There are other projects, so completely in the Bounty do not hit. The activity is really cool, you just need to approach everything properly and disciplined and start working at last. Make yourself a competent table, that would not be lost in the tasks of their own and just go, give one or two hours a day in Bounty. ALL!

if ico is not there then it will not be done bounty, bounty and ico are two things equally as profitable but i have never been there

I have just mistake that when i begin, i joined every bounty i saw in first page :)))

This is as-usual bro. If you getting the tokens there would huge number of trade for this coin for sure. If you missed to sell the tokens, with 3 days on the token listed on exchange. You will miss the price you see in the time it launched.
This is the big burden for many ICO projects bro.
So you also ready to sell the tokens whenever you find the tokens listed buddy. Hope you won't do this mistake at all again.

You can actually do both because those are profitable in the long run but since we are talking about newbies here, I think its really better to just participate on any bounty which require nothing but your services, almost a zero risk then while you are learning about the ICO, invest only if you fully understand it.

Not all projects bring profit, you need to invest wisely. It is possible that out of 10 projects, 3-4 will not bring anything, another 3-4 will bring a small profit, but 1-2 can bring quite a big profit, such as OmiseGo.

In most cases this do really happen where a certain coin get listed.They do usually tend to rise up its price into some percentage and later on it would dump.This is why we should be wise on when to sell out and dont tend to wait for the dump because you will surely regret when you see the sweet spot but you just let it pass.If you do believe on the project then you would need to risk to hold on for long term and dont be tempted out to sell off.

Bounty are free coins no need to invest your money, unlike  ico you need to invest some amount to get that coin and lets say you will get bonus tokens when you invest on ico.

           I think everything are base on your own beliefs because if you felt and has a strong belief that you can gain profit through ico then do it. If you think you can do task on bounty to earn then do it. Just make sure bounty or ico just know how to take the risks. Bounty or ICO you both need enough knowledge and belief to earn good profit.

Bounties are great way to earn cryptos but they limit you only to certain icos.High profile ICOs may not need to run any bounty and as such you will not be able to get them from bounties.I generally invest a few dollars even in ICOs where i participate in the bounties.it is alsoo my way of supporting the project-it also give me some sense of being a part of the project when i contribute.

Why choose if you can actually do both at the same time. Newbie should also focus on their learnings because ICO is risky if you don't study you might lose your money. Bounty is less risk, so you choose what's best for you.

is good you not only join bounty but must invest ico too
if all people same youre think , all ico project not succes and then you can't receive payment in bounty campaign

Exactly,when investing i am very careful because i am donating cash and i expect returns on it.But for bounties,i am not as thorough as my stakes are only effort and time wasted(should anything go wrong with the project).ICOs returns are more modest if you really have the cash to invest and you choose a god project.

Both can actually generate a good profit, it was just that ICO are very prone to scam abused and in some instances the projects find it difficult to achieve their market cap which turns out to be a loss for many investors. I think in both of these luck and proper knowledge is really important for an investor to succeed.

Basically, with these two there's a risk of wasting your time/effort or money. But the difference is whenever you join a bounty campaign whatever the amount is it is still an income for us and with ico the risk factor is too high wherein we will never know if it will go up 10-20x considering this bearish market. Thats why it is good for me that I started in bounty before investing in ICO because as time flies by I am learning a lot that I will know where to go.

So bad for your experience. I missed that Telcoin ICO. As I remember, when it started trading on Kucoin the 1st day, the price is x10. I was regret for not buying it. It did not require KYC, and had plenty of time to buy the ICO.

Newbie can do some easy tasks to get used to it, such as comments/ like on Twitter or Facebook, signature bounty, or at least clap on Medium.

Choosing ICO requires time to do the research. With this bear market right now, it is not a good idea to buy ICO.

Bounties are simply investing time in an ICO, instead of investing money.

Either way you're still investing something in the future value of the project. It's just a matter of how you choose to make that investment.

Yep, all the coin/tokens are going down because of BTC price.
I think Q1,Q2 are not a good time for buying. Q3 and Q4 would be the best time of the year for all kind of business. With that theory, I just stick to bounty for now.

Everyone made mistake. My eyes was just like this  :o when I saw my Binance account from 2k to 12k, and the following month was 1k.
Just learning with this cryto market

Thanks for your sharing. That's a quick flip for quick profit. I see so many pump&dump on the exchange now.

It is not easy to find something like OMG. And you need to have enough ETH to participte in several ICOs to even your profit. 

I agree with you. Doing on bounty also help you to identify if the project is worth to invest in. I do not join every single bounty out there. I still look for some basic things from their website before spending my time : website design, roadmap, team, etc.

that's a great investment idea also. I am doing the bounty to get some profit, then later find some good ICO to invest in.

I know what you meant. But not many people think the same way as I am. For those get into the crypto world early (big whale), they have enough skills, knowledge to invest in the new project. For newbie, they are new to this crypto market, its better for them to get into bounty first ( have nothing to loose), then improve them self before investing.

The bounty program provides free tokens for beginners, and can learn a lot of knowledge, which can reduce a lot of losses in the virtual currency market.

Because in that case you don't risk your money etc. You have an opportunity to earn some tokens(which you can invest later) for promotion work which is not so complicated...why don't do so? Especially if you are a newbie in crypto.

Joining ICO have high risks always so its always advisable to have a strategy on the way your hodling your coins. If the project is really good and you think that coins will be huge in the near future then you can sell the half of your coins and hODL the other half or you can sell all and buy again at the dips. By doing that, youll getting back your original fund and getting some profits for your pockets against losses or decrease of the price of the coin. Ive joined a lot of ICO and I used that strategy always and I got huge profits.
Doing bounties is the best option for HODLERS. Here, we can have coins that are free no need to invest money so we can hold them until the time their price goes up or you can sell fast; it really depends on your choice. We only need to be patient here cause not all bountys are good enough.

I think ICOs are just a gamble. If you are lucky then you'll get x10 or x20 profit. And even getting x2 profit is not already bad because at least you earned something. But the issue here in bounties is there are also scam bounties where you won't get rewarded with the expected amount and at the worst case, you won't get rewarded at all. The best thing to avoid these things is to do research before investing in ICOs and joining bounty campaigns.

I am new here, this information could help me out in this crypto world.

Becoming a gamble when you haven't done your assignment on researching up things. ICO investments are worth but finding the potential projects would be the hardest one and this is why we do always presume and invest basing with our intuition which isn't really right at all.When it comes to profitability then ICO would really give you some serious profits but we do all know that this investment would really require money which isn't really available on each person.

Finding bounty for newbies is nice. I want newbie accounts to make money. There should not be rank restriction.

When i first earned my bounty rewards realized there was no way i could ever be investing the amounts i had from bounties in ICOs,i mean where was i going to get $1500 to invest in an ICO,i dont have such an amount of money,so i decided to participate more in bounties so i could make earn huge amounts.Unfortunately too again,most ICO prices drop below ico value making it less risky for a bounty hunter than for an actual investor

Bounty has a lot of oppurtunity to gain more money.

I was a new here I joined last month tha why I've not even get token yet. last day I joined in a bounty campaign but I dont wheter this campaign success so that I dont experience holding token. 

Can someone give me an advice what are those techniques to choose bounty?

Thank you.

I know that now is not good time to ICO. There are a lot of scam and participants. So you receive less money or nothing. I hope that some changes will be in this sphere in 2018.

Indeed, investing in ICOs now is too risky. Most of good ICOs is not public sale, they usually sell all their token in private sale and pre-sale. And almost 90% token of ICOs will go down after they hit exchange sites. So i agree with you that the best we should join bounties campaign which can bring to us a little of token without give my capital and then we will hold and wait the price of them is going up.

Well you are right with that sad to say they put a rank restriction especially right now that here in forums you need merits to go rank member and above. Well I dunno why that's very sad of us new comers here. I hope they are happy on what they've done.

Yes, they are restricting the people in order to control the flow of people because Bitcointalk forum is not for earning, the main reach behind the bitcointalk forum is to learn the cryptocurrency and to learn from the people who has knowledge and it is nothing but sharing the knowledge.

Great experience, keep doing what is best for you, always do careful study before entering into some bounties because some are scams, and some are not.

December 2017 was such a month that you could buy any shitcoin and safely make your X) now if you did in February-march, it's another conversation)

Choosing a Bounty company is worth exploring the proposed projects than grab for the first one.
After all, you can cooperate with just one-two Bountys and get the same income as people who are sprayed at lot campaign. I’ve just joined the community at Vreo https://t.me/vreoico, they are going to create very competitive product. They provide dynamic native in-game advertising. It will allow brands and media buyers to run time-sensitive promotions, on a convenient CPM price model. Bounty Campaign: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2898738.msg29810876#msg29810876

If you have much money that could sustain a funds for investing in ico then go for ico. Bounty is for the people that don't have funds enough to invest. So if you don't have that money then choose bounty.

u have to realise that bounties come from icos, so whether the price goes up or down, doesn't really depends on whether u get ur tokens from bounties or icos, in fact, icos with too high bounty promotion shares usually see dumping after their listing (cos bounty hunters might want a quick buck). in the end whether the price of the tokens go up or down depends on a whole load of other factors, including broad market sentiments, and whether team delivers on project roadmap.

I think both ICO and Bounty are cool. Just do your research properly.

If there is no rank restriction, this forum will become too messy with a lot of spammer and Newbie alt account :). Don't you ever think about this case? Or you're trying do anything to make rank restriction removed? LOL. Of course Newbie account still can be able to earn money in this forum by joining social media bounty, with these kind of bounties, rank is useless, you need to have a lot of followers in your social network account :)

I agree with you. Else new accounts make be created everyday just to make double money from bounties like signature campaign.  ;D ;D ;D

Not surprising and should really be done on this forum where that restriction should be implemented.If not then expect this forum would be flooded by newbie spammers since they do know that making money out of these bounties which this is just really right.This is why if we do really like to earn into bounties specially on signature campaigns then its much better to focus on how to rank up your account.

i think many ICOs are not successful after the banning of crypto ads on social media, following an ico to e not easy, as well as bounty, since the two are related

It really depends on the manager if they want to scam you they can scam you, they just have to change the rules and viola. Your will be given less stakes for your work and that's how greedy they are. Anyway, it is better to join a good bounty campaigns rather than an ICO because you will only have to participate the bounty campaign in exchange for some stakes depending on the rules.

You are not actually sure on what you are trying to say here,right? We do all know that ICO and bounty campaigns is correlated to each other come to think off that bounty campaigns is one of the marketing ways of a certain crowdfunding which they do need to advertise their sale by means on having a bounty.If you suggest on searching for good bounties then you would definitely prefer always on the ICO/project on where you do set in.

Bounty and ICO are two different kinds of investment. Participating in ico you invest your money, participating in bounties you invest your time. In each case you might be scammed, so it depends what you are ready to lose: your time or money. 

I think after ICO distribution we wanna sell tokens :/ becouse all try these

As newbie, you have no experience. You can not know which ICO has a good project behind and which one will fail hard. So when you participate in the bounty, you can get their coins and tokens without risking your own money. So then you can see how the project will develop. And when it will fail, you will just loose some hours of work which you had with posting in your free time instead of money which you had to work for very hardly. ANd it will hurts you less when the tokens and coins will loose all their value.

You are mistaken you have something to lose if you join bounties, if you join a bounty campaign and the tokens are completely without value you will lose your time, and you need to remember that most bounty campaigns pay after the ico is over so you will need to wait for months to get your coins, so we are not talking about wasting a few days or weeks but many months of your work.

I agree that investing in ICO now is almost pointless if you are in search of a quick profit and want to make  easy X10 when the coin entering the exchange. Bears don't give up .That is sad. If you are a long - term investor-participation in ICO still makes sense, especially if you are not in good relation with the exchange.

If you are the Newbie, I advise you not to participate as well as invest in ICO because of this market a lot of risks. You should take part in the ICO bounty or invest in the top 10 altcoins to minimize the risk. And once you have an ICO market experience, you can invest in ICOs that will be easier and less risky than at the moment.

All members also know if a good bounty for income free of charge. But we know every bounty has a successful ICO target. How successful it can be obtained because some of the participants bounty also invest in it. If all bounty participants are like you and do not want to support more like investing in ICO, of course their project has a small percentage to achieve success.

It don't always work on your favor. People who invest ICO has much money and they can profit as much faster than joining bounty that you'll only receive a small portion depending on the number of participants.

With all due respect, Sir. I know what i just said and there is nothing to argue anymore, but this one here, is the best example of what i actually mean.

Choosing between your time or money but a good investment is using a free resources in order for you to gain something based only on your hard work. Although both, does required time in order to see the results of your investments.

Not on most cases because most bounty participants are just purely joining bounty programs for the sake of earning tokens without the requiring any investment.There might be some other participants might consider to invest if the project is really good or do have potential but well this only on slim chances.If you are a bounty hunter you will really believe on the same thing which we are really participating on bounty to get tokens without the need of our own money from our pockets to invest on.We can attain it with just a simple task.

It seems that you invested on a lesser potential coin than the on you joined bounty campaign. there's no problem between the and besides investing could give you higher amount of coins compared to campaign but you should know if that project will give you higher return.

Well, I think both are competitive. People tend to hold their crypto during the bearish market when they should probably be investing when the price is low (just my opinion).

For instance, we started the ICO when ETH was around $850. This bought you the same tokens as ETH today at $375. You are basically getting more than double for the same investment! Match that with the bonuses of 50% it seems like a no-brainer to invest during the bearish market.

However, I do see the benefit of just using the bounty program, too. It gives you a chance to make an income while backing a project. All it takes is your time and some effort to help promote the project.

So, all that being said, everyone should probably join our bounty because the participation is low, which means you get more of the bounty reward!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3108995

You can check out the ICO from there! We believe in our project and I am the BM and can answer any of the questions.

just imagine if all the coins are sold in one about the same time, of course, this will make the price go down in a short time. If you want to hold for some time could be much will return as the price of the ICO.

Choose ICO over bounty, really. Bounties take a lot of time, that you can use smarter and earn money for your first ICO investnent doing some freelance job.

Personally I thought it's a good idea to start with bounties as a newbie to get some experience, but actually I just wasted lots of time, and now I really regret it.

Realization of activities that was not good enough for our future is also one of the meaningful events of one person maturity. I joined bounty for preparation of my future for I think bounty can give me more time to wait the token than investment in ICO. Because of my experienced of always waiting I want to wait the token. And I also think that bounty is more safe than joining in ICO. I did not mean to disregards ICO but it always end up on the word it depends on ICO or bounty.

in my opinion, a work in the world of crypto can be done by following the project one of them by following a job that is often called bounty, where we berpastisipasi in the project to participate in raising or popularize the project, then at the end of the project we get income from the organizer team projects whether in money or token or whatever in accordance with the agreement, while ICO I know, we become a partipasi in the project as an investor, where you are required to fund or buy tokens or coins that have been provided in accordance with the amount you can buy with money that you have invested, which is expected later can raise the price of the tokens or coins, one of them by way of buying and selling, may help and success

But the one thing doesn't interfere with the other, is not it? For example, I started participating in bounty campaigns and then investing in ICO projects. If after participating in any bounty the coin comes out at a good price it can be sold and invested in the next prospective project. Coins are constantly in circulation and work for you. I think that I'm not the only one who does that.

Fast profits are almost an impossibility right now if you want to invest in icos, you have no option but to play the long term game if you want to obtain any kind of significant profits in the future, which means that you need to invest in icos that are very good you can no longer invest in some icos just to try to speculate if you do that right now in these market conditions you are going to lose all your money.

Being new in cryptocurrency I preferred joining bounty over ICO. It may takes a lot of time but it worth it since its free and get rewarded by doing the tasks given by the project. You will get rewarded by either  tokens or bitcoin or ethereum depends on  the project manager.  It is up to u if you hold or trade  the tokens once listed in the exchange if the price is valuable to claimed. In bounty u only have to invest your time and effort while in the end can earn good profit.However, in ICO you invested money and there is possibility u get scam.

because it does not need investment

Yes, there will be less problems in your life if you join bounty, and more if you participate in ICO.

I do bounty campaign, and it pushes me to sign in bitcointalk, post and reply in thread, make a report for social campaign. In other side, I get so much knowledge from this side. I think it was an added value of bounty. And for ICO; if you have more experience about bounty, so you can limit your lost in ICO invest.

The bull market at us time in half a year happens and all this time to sit with tokens it is inexpedient

Yes, I agree with you. I have joined a lot in many ICO too and I experienced to get huge profits and losses but last year was more better than 2018. Youre right when you say that last year 2017 was more profitable compared to this year. All ico I joined this 2018 prices went down and Im still holding them in my wallet until now. So many losses for this year so I am doing now bounties than joining in ico. We only need patience and make a lot of effort in doing our task daily.

I did not participate in ICO for I do not have money. That is the honest answer that can I have for now. I particularly join in bounty for I know that there are bounties that will honest also toward their participants.

For beginners, bounty campaigns are good because it's less risky and it's also possible to earn good money on it

Finding a signature campaign for newbies is really very pleasing. we want to make money as soon as possible. so we do not have to wait for the rank.

You have to study carefully the project regardless you re going to invest in its ICO or just participating in its bounty campaigns. Dont forget in both ways you re investing either your moneyt, or your valuable time and effort, for several weeks/months of hard working. So bounty rewards aren't really "free money", you get your reward for several hours of advertising the project and spending many weeks or months doing this work.

once again I'm convinced that the tokens received for bounty should be sold immediately after entering the exchange, very large risks that they are asking for the price

I join in bounty/ICO, like you. I lost 50% money till the day i join.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

When to risk matters i would say that this is indeed right since doing bounty thing will not require any money from your own pocket since you wont need to invest for you to earn token.You all do need to complete task on what they are asking but all of us no that theres a specific rank which you can able to join these bounty things.Most of the time its JR. member and up are being accepted to these bounty programs usually on signature campaigns when it comes to social medias theres no rank restriction.

Bounties are a far better option if you are able to choose between the two, depending on your skill set, of course.

My suggestion is for newbie , let's do a lot of projects. then you will realize your mistake :))

Great experience, keep doing what is best for you, always do careful study before entering into some bounties because some are scams, and some are not.

       Yes, when you enter a reward campaign you have nothing to lose, just time. But it's a shame not to research when you choose one, because the risk of SCAM is quite high. All the more, when you invest your money in an ico, you have to be sure that you are investing and not donating. And I like to register for as many rewards campaigns as possible. Some experiences were nice, others did not.

If there is a free ETH , then why not combine participation in the ICO and bounty. It takes not much time, besides, you can invest in the ICO and to participate in its bounty the same company if you think it is reliable enough. If there is no money, then there certainly should pay attention only on the bounty, where you can earn without any investment.

My opinion : newbie should equip basic awareness about crypto market before join ICO, but i recommend newbie participate in bounty first. when you have money, experience you join ICO.

So who wants to buy ico anymore. They do bounty work out...

First real engage between me and crpto world was as in trading and ICOs. I lossed quite much money there. From there I learn many things, especially that there is no easy way to get negaged in this bussiness. In some aspects it even also harder to be predicted than forex. Since then, I realized that I need to do more learnings, and the best way to learn and get more benefits are came from doing bounties so far.

Refferal looks better

Bounties are better because you can only lose time which is worthless, not sweet Bitcoin/Ethereum.

I have an unpleasant experience with CIBUS. Because after the bounty is distributed the price is not in accordance with the price of ICO, even too far its value. The price of ICO 0.001 ETH and when listed in the market is worth as price of doge coin.  :D :D

Bounty is not for everybody. Some people are busy, they have work and don't want to make stupid retweets about ICO. Don't forget about big whales,those who invest more than 100$

Participating only in bounties is less risky than investing in the ICO , but in the other side dont forget that you are investing your time and effort too. Usually the bounty campaigns require hard working from their participants for several weeks or months, and you have also to be patient because they pay generally many weeks after the end of ICO.

Because participating on the bounty campaigns of the ICOs you will learn to study how the good the ICOs are. You will know how good their project if it is really useful or not, you will notice how are the performance of their team and you will know also the that ICO are really have a big community or not because it is really a big impact on the ICOs.

well, why you should choose bounty instead of ICO for newbie? actually, newbie who choose bounty the risk is less than investing on ICO. in ICO the participant should invest money so they will get a token.

Very smart idea, especially in recent bear market. Get some tokens from airdrop for free and then earn a great profit when the market recovers. The cost is 0 and profit 100%. But it's better to choose projects carefully, or you may earn very little.

Because on bounty you just need effort and time to participate on any campaign , while in ICO you need to invest but not sure if its gonna work but somehow if the project is really promising and you trust it then it success that would be amazing . I do both as I already know where to invest my money on ICO and at the same time join bounty .

look in the branches about the banti you can find there))
There are also channels in the telegram. Now I do not remember where I ran into them, but quite a few such channels https://t.me/bounty_token here one of them look there ...

but sometimes u get just a few amount of token when too many participant join the bounty
so when i got more money then i prefer do invest in ico

Why not join bounty and invest your earnings. I've joined quite a lot of bounty and you are right they do convert into a large amount of money. But not all bounties are equal some bounties I had given me a little to nothing worth tokens. Some even are still -until now- unusable.

In my opinion, Gifts are a great way for us to try, and we invest, because we do not need cash but need our ability to seek rewards, and we need to know a lot about ICO, and we need to know all the crypto movement situations to avoid getting lost.

ICO investing now is too risky. Most of good ICOs is not public sale, they usually sell all their token in private sale and pre-sale and almost 90% token of ICOs will go down after they hit exchange sites. So, the best we should join bounties campaign which can bring to us a little of token without give my capital and then we will hold and wait the price of them is going up.

U need to understand that bounties originate from icos, so whether the cost goes up or down, doesn't generally relies upon whether u get ur tokens from bounties or icos, actually, icos with too high abundance advancement shares more often than not observe dumping after their posting (cos abundance seekers may need a fast buck). at last whether the cost of the tokens go up or down relies upon an entire heap of different variables, including wide market opinions, and whether group conveys on venture guide.

Not now, investing on ICO will always be at risk, but with further research you can get the right ICO that will be successful and will have a high price after entering the exchange, but it's very hard to find. Participating in an airdrop or bounty program is very profitable than you invest it.

We are engaged in Bounty campaigns with the team for several months already. It leads every 5 to 15 campaigns. Now at the initial stage, we are waiting for the first awards. It is difficult to say something completely. But the topic is really good, if you competently compile your table, take seriously the analysis of projects in which you want to participate, everything will be chic, it is only necessary to wait a little. But nothing immediately happens, right?))

Partly you're right. But the bounty and ico are different things. Bounty does not require investment, you just need to work. And to participate in ico you need money.
Participating in the bounty, you do not lose anything, but perhaps its time. And in ICO you have a risk of losing money

Thank you about your experience !  I am a newbie. I want to john any bounty  but i don't have any experience .

  I have not experienced yet. But mostly I read and in furom and my friend most certainly it will happen. I advise you to see their Road map if there is a potential increase in time or just hold your token and wait for pump up. Thank you ..

I earn very very much despite joining a lot of bounty, can you tell me which bounty is the hottest?

Your assertion was true ,many ICO's will dump upon listing on exchange.
It takes utility coins to resurrect which may take a while due to bear market.

Bounties will always be better , it's gotten for free.

Yes, when i was started to join in crypto i choose to participate in bounties to earn tokens that i use to start investing and to learn in cryptocurrency so my own money will not lost just in case i mistakenly invest to unprofitable crypto.

I think it is because of the current market conditions that are declining for all the coins, so there will be time for the price to rise. It's true bounty it produces but if all follow-up bounty who will invest in its ICO?

Well bounty is a form of investment as well :) , you invest your time for a portion of The projects token . an extra investment if you are participating in that ico tho, as of now its more profitable to do bounty and wait for that ico to end and hit exchange then buy tokens from it . cause like what you said icos today have been going down on 10 ico i have followed only 1 stay above ico price

It is better for a newbie/s to do bounties while you are still a beginner in the crypto industry, in this way, doing bounties can help you improve your skills on doing bounty works, help ICOs promote their projects, you can gain more knowledge and at the same time , you can earn money through your efforts. It is also a way to make money without any investments.

I never bought the token when joining the bonus program because I had no money. So I want to use my labor to earn them.

A meritable post which I do really have the same words in mind to be said about bounties which even though we aren't investing on the money came out from out pockets but we do basically invest our time and effort and as we all know that time is precious and wasting it up on a bounty which haven't paid you will really make you annoy or even angry.When it comes to ICO investment these things are only optional stuff
because even if we are a hunter but we have the money to spend on then its our choice if we can risk up to support on what we are advertising by means of investing.

That is why I usually don't go with the ICO project for investment and even for bounty participation. Mostly u stay with btc payable signature campaign if I am out of campaigns also Just do the contribution and then I be simple without payment.

But without bounty time you may learn something out and make money out of it but no one doing it.

Today, it is very dangerous to invest in ICO in a falling market. If you want to increase your capital then start performing bounty. In this area you invest only your time.

I think that it was possible to make a good profit with the ICO when there was a growth of the crypto currency, because then almost all projects easily reached the hard cap and could afford to develop quietly. Now it is dangerous to invest your money, because you cant know what project will be able to survive in such a market, and what is not. And making a bounty, we do not lose anything, so this is a good solution in this situation.

Of all the current bounty income it is not possible I will be able to make ICO investments because what I earn is not more than $ 100 and this is very small for investment. At that time I decided to preach the number of bounties that I could follow so that the rewards would be greater, even though many ICO prices fell below the ico value so that the acquisition would be smaller if converted to the current market.

I believe that it is possible to combine these two directions. If you like the project and you are confident in his team, why not support it. Bounty also sometimes brings a good income, and this is a very good direction for a beginner in crypto.

I have experience in ICO and Bounty, at the end of 2017 was a period of glory for investors and gifts. at that time the ICO can be UP according to the roadmap and even more, while the bounty at that time has a lot of income. for now, ICOs and bounties are mostly fraudulent, otherwise SCAM when entering the market is definitely not compatible with ICO and very far from the ICO. just share experiences.

I have an unpleasant experience with CIBUS. Because after the bounty is distributed the price is not in accordance with the price of ICO, even too far its value. The price of ICO 0.001 ETH and when listed in the market is worth as price of doge coin.  Cheesy Cheesy

Newbie members when they joined in bounty campaigns they will only get small amount of reward, cause newbie participants are the ones who will get the lowest stake,.so if your a newbie better to choose ico.

it certainly has become a normal thing, who doesn't want it if given more certainly no one refuses if the business gets results from ico which is more than we expected ... what if we still lack financial or other things, yes but no matter how much we get better, we are grateful and hopefully in the future we will get the results from ico selanjud with satisfactory results, even though now with coin prices in the market is still not as stable but we must keep trying to get results from ico which we follow first about the price of mah later

If you do have that financial capability then why not? Investing is the way on making profits but checking out on the success rate of ICO investment for sure you would really hesitate to put one.

Getting scammed in 10 projects would surely put you to a state of hesitance either you are a bounty hunter or an investor.

Well it's still the best way to get free token in participating bounty as what you said we have nothing to loose but we should support only those legit project in order not waste our time on those scam project that will not give us reward.

Bounty is the same as ico . so if you are a newbie then youd better learn  first . read , listen and understand every useful information that you may come across in this forum or on any other websites .  if you feel that you are already a veteran , that is the perfect time to participate on an ico/bounty because you can now chose the best one .

Also , youd better rank up your account first up to atleast junior member and above because newbies nowadays are totally banned from wearing a sig .

I have exactly the same thoughts on this. And I have done it more than once. If the project is good and deserves attention, it has a strong team and a promising product, then I participate not only in the bounty campaign but also invest in ICO. But this is on condition that you have the funds to invest. If they are not, then, of course, you should choose a bounty.

Yes , I learned how to invest on ico now but now all ico is successful.We should be active on forums to find out either this project are legit.My experience I have to check the team if they are real and have real products.

I also prefer choose bounty, but i also invest in some ICO, but sometimes i not have enough time to research before invest in ICO, and i do bounties because in my opinion is mot so risky as some ICO's. Also for a newbie is better to try rank up and join signature campaign if is possible, or twitter, facebook bounties.

I joined in a bounty and yes i received exact tokens worth $5k. But very disappointing that $5k worth token now just goes for $900 which is too low. I am sure every one who have participated in recent bounty campaigns have similar experience. But i made use current situation. I started buying tokens spending minimum $50 per token. I almost have 10 different tokens though very less in numbers compared to others here. But i trust in the market growth down the line. Have decided to go for long term investment and done it so. There is no loss though if tokens earned from bounties are exchanged now.

It think it is better for a newbie to choose bounty over an ICO, it is simply because your current status a newbie, it means you are lack of knowledge to invest on something or specifically a project/s. When you do bounties, you can improve your knowledge and skills on working in crypto industry and at the same you are gaining some ideas of how crypto can be used to be.

if it is a matter of getting more prizes, it's not just beginners who want more prizes than an ico, surely all of us who are involved in bitcoin are definitely more prizes too, but if for beginners we must choose an ico that can receive it because not all ico can accept beginners, but do not be discouraged first because now many ico have opened up for the beginner to live we are smart to choose which ico we will follow

if you are a beginner, I suggest that you join the Bounty campaign program, you don't have to pay to participate, unlike ICO which takes a long time, you can say like a long-term investment.

It is good for a newbies to join bounty campaign rather than engaged in ICO. If newbies participate in bounty he/she will have a sound knowledge of ICO before go into ico

I have experience with bounty, but for now, my maximum is payout $ 300

I guess many people will experience the same thing with you, including me. The decline in the cryptocurrency market caused many bounty hunters to experience substantial losses. Even if the token was obtained from the results of their work or it mean they didn't spend their money to buy token but it will make a regret. It has become a tradition when bounty hunters get a token then they will wait for a while when the pump come, but this year the pump that often occurs in the altcoin market is as if it will be lost. I am not sure if someday the price of the altcoin will experience a pump like in 2017, many factors will not make it happen.

Hey. Thanks to awards and bounty campaigns, I study this field.

After the end of the campaign most ICOs tokens are going down in terms of price because both the teams and the investors want to dump their tokens ASAP and make some profits. Most were started by online marketers creating products for ICOs, they can promote and make money off, rather than developing solutions that can only live on the blockchain.

You definitely have a point why choosing Bounty over ICO and many people do the same as they don't have to risk any funds. However, if you contribute to ICOs that have their focus on building a product, have their token utilized and go on exchange only after there is demand for it, then you can make more than 20x as an early investor. 

If you have few minutes you can see how my team and I have structured our token sale as an example of the above: https://winto.io/

It is still very possible to make a lot from ICO if you are patient, you know where you are channeling your bounty energy by selecting the right and reasonable projects with future and you know the potential in the long run is huge. That is usually what a lot of bounty participants usually do not get to do.

Normally, choosing a path of participating in bounties or investing in ICOs all depends on each individual. I do both if I feel it is a project I really need to invest in and add more, and at the same time, I participate in bounties as long as I get paid for some promotional service I can render. So at the end, it is all relatively dependent.

When you take part in bounty, the worst thing that can happen- you will not receive your reward, or it will be very small. When you participate in ICO- you can lose your money

It is better to invest your time and effort that the money you have now.
Doing bounty will pay a good amount of tokens.
there are so many scam ICO now, which is not good for newbie to have.

First off, what is bounty and what is ICO? They are both still intertwined as far as I am concerned. Bounty is the promotion in which some people take part in to be able to earn some tokens from the ICO, and ICO is just the offering of the project itself to potential investors.

The way I see it, as long as you are a part of bounty, then you are also a part of ICO. The only thing I would have expected to see from the OP is that he prefers to be a bounty hunter than to be an ICO investor as that sounds more realistic to the ears, but certainly, that depends on each individual and their pockets.

The main reason why ICO began to fall when entering the exchange was that their products did not bring actual results to investors, and because of some policies, investors would quickly sell these tokens when they entered the exchange, causing them to fall rapidly.

I think you can do both but just dont give all out in investment. You can invest at small amounts and then gp higher when you feel comfortable. Participating in bounties too can make you earn and learn at the same time.

Not all bounties have ICOs, and not all ICOs have bounties, so they are not necessarily intertwined. We saw the Ethereum DAO, pure ICO, no bounty. Then we see coins like Gbyte, airdrops plus signature bounties, absolutely no ICO.

So no, just because you take part in bounty does not make you an ICO participant. In FACT, you can see many recent examples where projects have hundreds and thousands of bounty hunters,,, and they cancel the ICO because they were zero or almost no participants.

Everybody wants free things, so few actually believe in the stuff they promote. This has to change.

Participation in the bounty is good because you do not need to invest your money, only time and work. But even so, in case of non-payment of coins, people still get upset and stop participating in bounty campaigns.

yes I can relate.... ICo's then were competitive and I will have to say last year was ICO year. People actually made some money but later on many ICo's were disappointing but investing in the right one brings huge profit. I invested in some which I gained. Bounty on the other hand also is good, only requires time but its frustrating after the effort and time wasted, nothing is paid. My very first bounty on this forum never paid after all the efforts. It was so discouraging but if you get a good bounty project it's always worth it. I have not really done any bounty since then, I'm just trying to start again. So for me ICo's were favourable, let me wait and see what bounty has for me ;D

Some ICO have quite interesting ideas and technologies. It is possible that some projects will turn out to be famous, but unfortunately the bulk of scams.

They are different things in one of them (ICO) you invest money, in the other one (bounty) you invest time and value to earn some money. But yeah I'm in a similar position. I've also stopped investing in icos, and doing some bounties to get some cash (otherwise my money has become one fifth of its ath level, lol)

My point is, in bear market what you do is ok. But you shouldn't choose any of these over something. Both valuable and good things.

For half a year I earned about 1 ETH on bounty

I make a campaign for generosity, and it pushes me to record bit-contact, publish and respond in stream, compiling a report for a social campaign.

for this year's bounty, the payments are not at all those that were last year, but this does not mean that it is impossible to earn decent money in them. just need to put a lot more effort than before

Participating in bounties is a way of get some tokens from the ICO´s you choose without spend fiat or valuable cryptos )BTC, ETH,XRP) and pay with your work.
I also think that is a good way to enter in the crypto world without loss real money but just a couple of hours of your spare time.

A lot of support for various projects, one of them is joining the project's bounty or ico program. for beginners, the best support is through a bounty program using various social media tools. beginners can also take part in the ico program if they are absolutely sure of the project.

Although I am not a skilled bounty hunter, I am willing to share some of my suggestions, but please forgive me because my English is not my native language!
Usually I will first check the number of followers of the project before choosing the bounty event, because this can directly indicate the level of attention of the task, which also shows how popular it is!
Second, I will read the white paper because it allows me to effectively understand the ideas of the product and the team.
Next I will join their community (telegraph, Twitter, Facebook, Discord), I will try to contact their administrators, and when the communication is approved, I will participate in their mission!

Bounty and ICO are two different types of investments. Participating in ico, you invest your money by participating in the bounty that you invest in your time.

Participating in bounty is a good way to get some shares from potencial ICO´s. Just need to spend dayly a few minutes of your time and at the end you get some tokens.
There are severeal ways to get tokens, signature, facebook, twitter, articles, youtube videos, etc...

Why project your experience on the market situation? If a person gets 10 SCAM projects, it doesn't mean that all SCAM projects. You can invest your money if you professional in ICO.

Bounty tokens are sold at the lowest price because they are free. This reduces the cost of tokens, but if the project is good then in a few months the price may increase x2 or more.

I believe that in this situation in the market it is better to participate in bounty companies. It's safer. You can only invest if you are very confident in the project.

That's right but when you are participating in a bounty projects there's a possibility that your efforts will be going to waste because there are some of it are end up into a scam.

For ICO, you need to invest your money and maybe your confidence level is very low investing in ICO as a newbie. In order to build confidence about the market, it is better to start working in bounty instead of wasting time on ICO's.

thank you for your sharing. i think i will follow your post and your experience when i join the market

I like you in 2017 I worked on a lot of bounties without going to ico
the results of the bounty can now fulfill my life in the next few years
and now I'm still working on the bounty

I do not get what you mean.  I believe confidence is relevant to the picture participating on that ICO.  Once a person participated in an ICO automatically, their confidence level is not low.  How could someone participate and spend his money to an investment where is confidence level is low?  Aside from that, bounty participation and ICO investment with money is two different thing.  Since the latter requires you not only to support the project but to spend money while the previous only needs you to spend time marketing the project.

In my personal opinion, whether you are a bounty or an ICO, you must be aware that finding a good ICO campaign is essential. Whether it is labor or funding, it is important to help ICO grow better.

Indeed, in my experience, many tokens of companies go to the bottom after entering the exchange. But there are several projects whose developers initially showed a professional approach to business. In such projects, the price per token is reduced only for the first time, but then the price is restored.

Hi,
   I am a bounty hunter. I started bounty from November, 2017 with few projects. I got the coin, and see the growth x10 in the late december, but I never sell anything. I decided to work atleast 4 to 5 hours a day, and join the campaign as much as I can handle. Today, I have completed around 30 to 40 projects successfully, and few are currently running on. However, I am a bounty hunter but I am a long time holder too. I have never sell even .01$ yet. I am waiting for Q4, 2019, I believe a super blast run might occur in Q4, 2019 then I will think to sell few parts.

If you have a great fan and following over the social media then you could get good amount of tokens to hodl. I have never purchased anything in crypto market yet and I have 70+ coins in my portfolio, and ofcourse only 20 - 30 coins have good amount.

It is right, in the bear market the account balance get lower however we have not purchase anything but the hard work. I believe if I hodl it I will get the rewards of my hardwork after 1 to 2 years from now.

Best of luck for all the bounty hunters and investors!

This year’s bounty is very disappointing, as most of the activities are fraudulent, and many bounty hunters are tired of the task, and I am one of them.

Well your not alone, since early this year when the market became terrible bad, I was forced to join bounty because all my altcoin are way below ico price.
But doing bounty is not easy as you say, it requires time and effort. I have a bunch of tokens now but they are not worth my effort, until the next bull run.

As a newbie, you have no experience. You cannot know which ICO has a good project and which one will be unsuccessful. Therefore, when you participate in generosity, you can receive your coins and tokens without risking your money.

The forum has many interesting themes with detailed and  tips on how to choose a good ICO. But even this knowledge willn't save you from unsuccessful investing. The safest way to get free coins is to participate in the bounty. Here you lose only your time and share your knowledge, if you are writing articles and blogging. But if you decide to invest  then invest as much money as you are not afraid to lose.

I have participated in several bounties.  With that, I received tokens worth $5k. but very disappointing that $5k worth tokens now just goes for $900. This is too low. I am everyone who have participated in recent bounty campaigns have such similar experiences. But I made use of the current situation. I started buying tokens spending minimum $50 per token. I almost have ten different tokens in my wallet. I trust in crpto and on its growth down the line. Have decided to go for a long-term investment as well. There has been no loss though.

I have joined the bounty for about 8 months, I have participated in many projects, and have received several tokens. But tokens are very cheap. I just get tired and lost. Hopefully the project's head is good.

if you dont have extra FIAT , bounty is another form of investment

Hey. I have a similar experience. Now there are enough companies of bounty in which you can participate.

Yes, I also sent the same thing, which was responsible for this prize campaign.
my advice is better to hold the results token from the campaign

If this is true then you wasted a lot of time, using so much time to earn such a low amount of money is not the most efficient way to use your time, if you used your time to get a second job you could have earned a lot more than that and you could have money to spare, this is why I do not understand those that try to make claiming bounties as their profession since the pay is very low.

I think for a newbie, it is better to choose bounty than the ICO especially if that person doesn't have much money to invest in the ICO. With join in the bounty campaign, they can earn the tokens and then they can sell when it gets the list so they can have money to invest in the other coins. But for people who own money, they can invest in the ICO than join in the bounty but they can also join too if they want. But right now, it is a bad year to join in a bounty or invest in ICO because every ICO has delayed their time to finish the project or to get a list on the exchange and the participant of the bounty has got delay to for their reward payment.

Yes, even i am experiencing this type of approach when i worked for a bounty, we need to be very patient until actual development starts from the team. Instead of panic about the price, it is better to hold them until their price starts increasing again.

They say bounty hunters dump tokens. But they’ll do that just for tokens without a real use case or terrible team. Or if the project looks fishy.
I do bounties sometimes. Just started out here on bitcointalk. And I hold some tokens. Though I had to swing them in exchange while trading to get a little more and keep the dollar value stable in this bear market.
I hope bounty hunters get rewarded better.
Going back to your question, there’s two i parties to a project success; there’s the bounty hunters, they help campaign, tell you more about the project you’re getting into. Although there paid, they still provide some details and information about the project.
Then there’s the ICO participants or investors. They finance the project by buying tokens. Pay some amount for some tokens.
The both parties have a role to play, without one the project may stagger to be successful.

Tokens fall in price, only in bad crypto projects. Yes, now all tokens have fallen in price, but as the market grows, only good projects will increase in price, not a scam projects.

Obviously, that after listing on exchange investors want to take profit and price go down. When you lose coins from bounty- you lose your time.

a very risky investment tool crypto money. very few legal safeguards. needs to investigate very well. there are now 10 times that of ico

I really do agreed for what you had stated in the above on which is that you have nothing to loose to join bounty but extra income, that was true and right. let me share to you my experienced in 2017 this year was a great season, God poured out His blessings to me before end of 2017 because I earned more than 8BTC then when 2018 came up month of February I gained more 3.5BTC so it was a good moment to me, so even  after a months crypto declined for 8 months almost I still survive even the ico which I joined was to seldom to give payment in my wallet that I gave to them.

I totally disagree with the topic starter. I'd rather lose money, but my time will be with me and I will not spend it just to satisfy someone's ambitions and greed.

I started with bounty, but I want some kind of growth and still want to do investing in ICO. It seems to me that my path gave me the necessary experience to go into investment, but unfortunately the capital is not yet high and it is necessary to carry out a few more bounty.

Its normal %90 of ICO in 2017 are all scams and no working product, as a result, the token will be dumped also some ICO are pure Hype, I hope this year there will be a platform that tracks real and scam ICO that they can track the team and the office of the company and the license etc.

if in my opinion why should I try to get more that is definitely to be able to get more enthusiasm to go a long way in participating in this bitcoin world and also all of us here must always want more prizes from ico for us to get

I think, if you have money, which you ready to gamble - do research, read a much and invest in good ICOs.
If you don t have money - ok, you nothing to lose, but your time. Do Bounty research and choose one.

ICO is investments and Bounty is part-time work; it s not comparable with each other.
Also, profit from right chosen ICO is much higher, than Bounty.

 Yes, as for me I had the same situation. Now I participate in many bounties. For ICO it's better to buy on exchange rather than buy on ICO. I think that soon the market of ICO will recover.

I prefer bounty more than ICO.  Because it require only time&work, no investment.
When a project has ICO with big bonuses on early stage + bounty campaign in the same time, you really have a big risk never return invested money.
Because at least 50% of bounty participants will drop free tokens as soon as it be listed on the 1st exchange. Any price is good for them, even much lower than ICO,  because they have paid  nothing. And early birds will do the same at the price below than ICO, because they have bonuses, i.e. the same free tokens.  So no sense to buy at ICO price, it's guaranteed losses.

And one more reason why i don't like ICO: many of them want KYC.
I think crypto must be free from any KYC, in principle. Finally it is not safe to send documents to any unknown project.

Earn money @ Zero risk.Doing bounty as part time job is awesome.They may be not profitable as previous year,but still we can earn fair amount of money from doing bounties.

Investing in ICO needs money and if you don't have that then might as well invest your time in doing bounties and be able to obtain the coins. The difference is that when you are doing bounties, you are not assured that you will be receiving anything since anytime the bounty may be canceled or something might happen that will let you not receive any coins and when you bought in ICO, you know you will receive your coins unless you are scammed. Anyway, I would choose bounty now because I don't have the means to have the coin through ICO.

I have read many articles and videos about the selection of bounty activities, but the bounty event is like a box of chocolates, no matter how we choose, we can't be 100% free from being cheated!

I think the era of good icos is gone. The market was greatly abuse in my opinion because of absence of regulations. Scamming icos were on the rise ripping investors of their hard earned cash. Bounty on another hand is a bit better because if you ask me, it's another form of investment in icos too just that instead of money, you're sacrificing your time.

Newbies often don't have much experience in investing or participating in professional programs. Bounty is a chance to win results for both sides, meaning new investors and projects. It is a safe start point for new people.
