Bitcoin Forum

Dear Community,

     It was a great and amazing opportunity here in this forum. I just started doing bounties and as of now the most important thing I learn is to study how the bounty goes. It was hard and challenging but I can assure you that its all worth it. I would kindly as your good heart from the veterans here to give us more techniques and advises on how can we maximize the bounty rewards.

     As a newbie, so far these are the things I learned.

1. The higher the rank, the bigger the reward/stake

2. More twitter and Facebook follower and friends the better

3. There are different kind of bounties so better check what you want and join that.

4. Quality post and  comment has a greater chance of obtaining merits

5. There are a lot of good people here who gave merits to the people who deserve it.

6. Follow the rules on every campaign as it will give you higher reward

7. Always check spreadsheet first before starting the bounty for assurance that you've joined the campaign

     Looking forward to hear from you guys. I hope this thread will help us newbies in our bounty campaigns.


Thanking you,

Gecko Trader

Joining a good bounty campaign is not required a techniques,just make your self vigilant,educate and have patience, just read all the information for the bounty campaign and try to understand it,Follow the rules and don't make stupid..choosing a trusted and well expert bounty manager is giving you a high chance to get you paid out after the campaign is over.

Can you kindly suggest some trusted bounty managers whom we can follow and subscribe on their bounty campaign? As of now I tried Sylon and he or she is excellent bounty manager.

The most important factor when joining the bounty is hard work and patience. It does not require too much in each individual. And what you give is absolutely true. correct.

Choosing the right bounty manager is the most important condition for whether or not a bounty is worth adding. If you can't choose the bounty manager correctly, you can waste a few months and get only a trivial return.

Thanks for this significant informations. This will help the newbie in Bounty like me.

Thank you Buddy!. I will take that in mind. Hard work and patience will really matter because it will take time really. Considering hard work I am pretty sure that it will give a fruitful result in due season.

I don't actually see any tips and tricks in your post it's more like a "FACTS" about joining bounty campaigns. I will give you a example of tips that can help newbies:

• You should study the projects whitepaper/concept before participating to their program, so in the future you have an assurance that the reward you're going to received after the program has a value.
• Look for a project that the funds is escrowed because most likely some of the projects didn't pay afterwards.
• A reputable Bounty Manager is a advantage because they have more experience handling different projects as well as different participants.
• If you really want to maximize the profit you participate in all of their programs (ex. Signature campaign, social media campaign, translation campaign)

That's what tips and tricks all about (But the one I've made is more likely tips) and the list you've most are just a facts about bounty campaign.

I disagree, of greater importance is the people who are behind the project. It is them that will attract the money and it is them that will make all the real decisions like when to pay the Bounty and by how much. Bounty Managers are simply bean counters whose jobs it is to record peoples participation in the campaign.

The hard part is working on media campaigns and translation campaigns.
so better choose a campaign that we can do with the maximum! such as social media, telegram, medium (follow and claps). and others that are easy to do.

Before I decide whether to join a bounty campaign, I will read their white papers carefully, and if their community observes whether people are active, analyze their ICO's chance of success.

Thanks a lot man, this advices are realy helpful! I would say only to have a group of more skillful people that can advice you good projects!

that's not entirely true. Sometimes the manager that has a big name is also one of the options that the project that he can succeed. but all of that also depends on the teams that are in the project. in selecting nice bounty projects certainly can be seen by an experienced team. with a great team than the chances of a successful project to become larger.

You are right and as a newbies if you can follow those simple rule you are good to go. Signature campaign is good works if you are a quality posters. I have some friends that has make good coins from one campaign or the other and I read a story here some time ago how a guy with sr.member account make $8,000 from a bounty campaign.

Bounty hunters would really benefit from your tips, it’s a great idea you put on ground here. As well, the intergrity of the manager who is managing the bounty you are about to join is very important too. Check for positivity about the manager on the platform or you check for the past works of the manager if they went well. This would really help up to n extent too.

The most important thing is you must read the rules carefully. I see alot of people miss out the bounty rules, so they don't get any rewards after the bounty end

Yeah, I thought so The team has the greatest impact on whether the bounty will succeed. Thank you for pointing this out. I gain some idea to have background check first about the team and the project behind them.

You should choose projects with good manager at least a member, if you want not to get scammed! When you receive your coin, do not get it dumped on the exchange straight away for nothing, hold it! Follow telegram community, see what people/admins have to say, ask them questions for updates and what you have in concern, do some researches and read their white paper! If you like the project that you have been rewarded from and believe in it, the reward is going to be very big for holding it the coin and just be patient. As a bounty hunter you have to be very patient and wait a lot for good profits to come to you

I had one experience on this thing. Really, it is very important to obey and work within the rules or else all the effort and time that was consumed will be put to nothing. It is very sad that some hunters neglect to do this and regret at the end.

Agree with what you've said. Based on my experience once the token will be listed first time most of the bounty hunters will dump it so as what you have said much better if we hold first the token and wait for the company to be fully functional or when your target price is met.

Yeps! Exactly the reason why most ICOs upon entering the market fail. Because many asset holders, just sold their assets and ran away.
Community support is important for a project to be successful guys. So it is better to hold and see profits as a community rather than seeing it yourself with very minimal gains

Some useful tips are for one to increase his followership in bounty campaigns, rank up in the forum. For every cmapign, you need to follow the rules, post your reports on time, do.your work diligently and have loads of patience. With this, I think its a good start for every bounty hunter

I think the tips and tricks in becoming a true bounty hunter is able to see which ICO project opportunities will succeed. The trick is to select an ICO project with a high rating. Then see if it is softcap or not. Choose a project that should have reached softcap. See total project supply for its bounty. Choose which supply for large bounty. And last is to see how many participants have joined. If there are many who join, you should look for other projects.

It's true that we must be smart in choosing the bounty manager. Commonly, the experienced bounty manager with a good track record will always analyze the ICO for the bounty program, It will help us to minimize the risk of a scam. Additionally, what makes one coin to be dumb is that they sell out the token reward just after the distribution. It makes the other bounty hunters, investors, and also developer feel crazy of the dropped price after that. So, it is better not to follow the hype for panic selling, do the deeper analysis. For the price, the best thing to do is analyzing the market on the exchange (some exchanges) and analyzing the token supply. Of course, we also talk about the token sold, token allocated for the bounty hunters and team. It will also influence the probability of the price on the market.

Some obvious advises I just can't imagine what a newbie should it be he can't get that points himself from the start. A 100 years old grandpa first time in front of laptop? Gosh ...

From your rank depends only on the reward for the signatures campaign. The more subscribers in social networks, the more rewards, it's obvious. Read the rules carefully - it is necessary, because the different projects have very different rules. Always check the spreadsheet and in case you did not get the stacks, reread the rules and if you are sure that everything was done correctly, write to the manager. I thus received a lot of tokens, for example.

Thanks for sharing experienced that you leaned about bitcointalk forum. In addition to that studying the platform and reading the whitepapers of a particular bounty campaign. Moreover cheking thieir website and social media panpage a good thing to find a good bounty campaign. But the most important for this is give your all efforts to participate well do not disobey the rules and regulations of the bounty campaign.

That is simple and good explanation about the bounty hunting and various basic rules that you have mentioned here. Off course we do have to check for the rules first as most of the people fail to read them.

Many campaign managers dont even ask you to post the reports in their thread as they do it manually but still people go on posting huge number of reports every week and that really sucks. I mean its not good thing if you are going to be careless like that.

Liked that point most about the rules.

as far as I know, sylon only accept member or above, can you tell me which sylon bounty that accept jr. member?

if youre looking for good bounties well you better check this together with the managers who runs the campaigns

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3216168.0

There are some of the good bounties now,and even if theyre near to ended then check every managers post history about what campaigns they are newly opened..goodluck on youre journey

Thank You Carlisle1 for the link. I was able to check it awhile back and its a big help for me. He listed all trusted bounty managers with their ongoing Bounty Projects. More powers and blessing be upon you. Peace out!

     Thank you for pointing this out and I just knew that one of the bounty manager who's name is "SYLON" do not require reporting which is great for us bounty hunters. Only I have 1 question about the 2000 posts maximum. I don't understand that. Does that mean that I can only post maximum 2000 on my twitter? I hope you can help m sort this out. Thanks in advance.

From my experience of 4 months I would say that the best advisor of how to choose the right bounty is my intuition. Sometimes everything looks fin, but they team are too geeky and that's why good idea doesn't get soft cap sometimes.

As bounty hunters, my only tip is you should work hard when you are doing your task as a bounty hunter and avoid being lazy when you work so you'll be succeed.

No 7 is very important and i made this mistake when i joined a campaign without checking whether my name was added to the list. This is a great resource that will help bounty managers.

This post was really right. What was written there is what I've been doing and your posts should always be constructive to have a chance that you can get your merits.

I agree with what you say completely. Experience is a huge factor when it comes to choosing the right bounty manager. I have never lost any funds because I always tend to choose experienced bounty managers with great track records. Sylon is easily my favorite bounty campaign manager when it comes to bounty campaigns in this forum thanks to his experience and I have earned big profits through him. Apart from this, research the whitepaper thoroughly in order to get an idea of how serious the team is regarding their project. These 2 tricks will help in differentiating between legit and scam campaigns.

I think hard work is not enough to be a bounty hunter, I see my friends participate in many ICO, I think my friends follow 30-40 ICO and they can not get good results, I guess you also have to be smart choose ICO, I think you can get a good ICO by following ICO managed by a great manager like: Wapinter, Need Money and sylon.

Sharing this to other people helps a lot of beginners to make it easier for them to work in bounties. And this post was explained very well.

I don't think if ricks are necessary for bounty campaigns. I don't think they are worth it, The only way successfully participate in a bounty is to closely follow the rules of the program and meet the required necessities on time, this way, you have done your part and qualifies for the reward.

     Yeah I definitely 100% agree with you about sylon. He is one of the best bounty manager out here and I am pretty sure that he assess first the company and team before he will accept the project which give us more confidence to enter that bounty project. Also, it is true that reading the whitelist is very important and may I add something more. I think it would help also to check the quality of their website together the credibility of the team. To view their social media page and the personal accounts of the team member most specially the CEO. Thanks for your opinions it makes this thread more informative.

Yes, I think that doing a bounty is a very good job. When you work for it, it will send you some tokens. It will be the result of your labor. If you have a good project, you can Waiting for your currency to appreciate, I think this is very good.

Creativity is also a major factor, The more creative you are in promoting the campaign, the faster it captures attention, piques interest, compels followers. Also, believe in what you are promoting, because conviction is a natural seller.

my advice would be to also check the spreadsheets before joining whether the bounty manager is updating the stakes often enough, because you might get surprised if he doesn't at the end of the day...

the thing that is very helpful. I think that has a rank newbie should read this because it is very important. many of those new to create an account and post a few times directly asking how do I follow the signature campaign. It's pretty funny if I notice.

Definitely true on what you have said. Creativity is very needful in doing social media campaign most specially youtube channels, articles, and many more. I like what you have said "conviction is a natural seller" it strikes my mind. Thanks for this. I will be updating my post to add your inputs.

Choosing a campaign managed by a well known And reputable bounty manager Can make your life easier.
Another important thing is: join the campaign at start And go on untill  the end otherwise others partecipant will have more stakes And your reward Will be probably low event if you did a lot of  work

Sylon is good no doubt. You can also join Amazix and bountyhive. Amazix provides great support for bounty hunters and they also have separate bounty support group for every ICO. bountyhive is also good to join.

I edited the list that I made for the benefit of our community most specially for us starting. I tried to summarized every point that the community wants to add. Hopefully it will help.

Yes bountyhive is so much easier because you just need to click and click and no need for reporting but as for my experience they give small amount of tokens compared here in bitcointalk.  Sylon is one of the great, Amazix I will try his bounty project soon.

I was like them before lol then I decided to learn deeper and it is changing my perception and life. Thanks to you guys who has unending lending help to us. To be honest I was attracted to the amount given at first for the signature campaign but I just found out that its not that easy to rank up my position here in bitcointalk.

Always check the bounty end date, and use your own spredsheet to manage multiple bounty campaigns, and i always add a link to the spreadshit of bounty campaign i working on

This is so true. Before joining one must be fully equipped with the infomations, the rules, and the background of those behind the project. And always check the spreadsheet, this is very important.

I'd like to also suggest that you only join bounty campaigns where you have a reputable manager. If the bounty manager is a newbie who just created a new account then it is most likely a scam. Conversely, if you join campaigns by seasoned campaign managers who are above hero member rank, then you will almost always be assured of payment.

Pay amount is usually higher and is directly correlated with campaign manager rank.

that's true, sylon has a good reputation and well-known as the best one, may I just ask, why did sylon has no trust, even if he was good at being manager?

I tried to click on Sylon's trust. You can read every comment he made there. The persons and the comments he gave (positive and negative comments). It seems like he has positive and negative trust rating so he is in the neutral state. What matter is that almost all of his campaigns are successful.

There are many bounty manager here that be a professional and trusted enough when handling a bounty campaign,I personally endorse yahoo62278,deadley,Hhampuz and Madz this manager are really competent,professional and trustworthy.I joined in there bounty campaign and I earn some decent amount for my rank.

This is a very useful tips for us all as bounty hunter. the most important here is the perseverance and patience in following a bounty. after the ICO is completed and the sale ends successfully, then we can get rewards from the bounty that we do so far.

For me if you want to join some bounty you can read some topics here about good bountiea there you can read all of the suggestions of others the if like to look a bounty manual the first thing you have to look is the ICO rating of the bounty. Then after that check the start and end date of the bounty, when did it start and when will it end it good if you choose a long month of bounty lets say it will run for  5 month so that the coins you will earn is big. Then you have to read their whitepaper and their roadmap. In the whitepaper you check if their platform is good and then in the the roadmap check if their goal is their coin be in exchange. That is how I look for bounty.

Nice for sharing the tricks, my advice is that one should not look for shortcuts to rank up for better reward. For instance, if you buy merits, you may get negative trust or even banned for that.

Before joining the bounties i first informed the rate in ico including this as i look at the people behind this project yet the amount of budget allocated for bounty members and also a trustworthy managers

People should be trying to make good posts here anyway, regardless of whether they're in a bounty campaign or not.  If you write utter nonsense, you risk getting reported to mods and banned.  Thus, aside from the potential of earning merits it's in everyone's best interest to write well.  And what's the big problems?  Members not being able to write properly in english, which is obvious to anyone who has taken a peek in the bitcoin disc. area.  The number two problem is plagiarism, which is also rampant.

This is a good list, but it's disheartening to me that lists like this are necessary.  I'll certainly second the recommendation that bounty hunters follow the rules, both of the forum in general and of the bounties they participate in.  There's no quicker way to get banned than not doing so.

Thanks for this very informative thread. These sum up all the talents and traits I need to acquire in order to become a successful bounty hunter, which is my my reason of joining btt to be honest.

Can a newbie like me already give merit for threads that I find merit-worthy? Coz you got +1 from me

I think the most important thing for bounty hunter is choosing good bounty to join :). To be able to find out good bounty to join I think the best way is following some good bounty managers like Yahoo, Amazix team, Aerys2,...These bounty managers often manage very good bounty campaign and I always follow campaign managed by these managers ;D

Your post is help as newbie here in forum  and want learn more about as bounty hunter even they say your post is not tricks but some for me is tips.. i hope i find  a good bounty with your tips. Thanks!

Its alright that you have your preferred bounty manager who is reliable, but  fact that managers can do nothing about the campaign if the ICO is a failure or a scam, that doesn't really matter who your manager is. But at least, you can assure the manager won't scam you.

Though I am just new as a bounty hunter, for now I am relying from a veteran friend who has been in signature bounty campaign for 2 years. He had assisted me in what is the best campaign should I start to join where I am enrolled currently. The rest were just purely self study and do more research about cryptocurrency. About doing some postings, I had to make sure that it will be constructive and easily be understood by anybody in this forum. For now, I am not yet familiar in choosing the best bounty manager and hopefully I will include that on my list for my consideration.

In relation to banning, Is there any chance that we can revoke the ban that was made? At least a place where they can appeal to explain their side because I do believe that they deserve an explanation on whether they are banned.

     By te way thank you for your insights. Big help for the most of us. 

     I got your point my friend, Choosing a good bounty manager is 1 way to have a successful bounty campaign. Its like one guideline to find the best Bounty Campaign. I do believe also that the team behind the company has the biggest influence about the success of the campaign.

Good that you have a friend who is veteran on bounty hunting. Unfortunately I am learning on my own and sometimes I learn from some of the legendary here in the forum. I will absorb as much information I can from them but at the end of the day I am still the one to decide. I just treat them as guidance to me in this bounty hunting.

It very important that when joining a campaign, everyone should follow all the rules so that there would be no problem of not getting any stakes. To be able to be sure that one gets paid once the campaign is over, he or she should read the platform and programs of the campaign and check for its members.
