Last week I started a new way of doing bounties.  Quality over quantity.  I decided I was going to research the projects before I got involved very thoroughly.  I wanted to check the project team.  See if the idea was good and original.  I wanted to check everythign out before I spent any more time doing these damn bounties for shit projects and scams. 

I monitor every project that hits this board (which is a ton).  Guess how many bounties I have entered thus far?  ZERO.  They are all absolute shit. 

I ask you guys to research before you enter your next bounty and ask yourself this question.  Is this project really worth it or am I wasting my time?

Looking at your signature "Zero" does not look correct to me.
Stop pretending. Instead focus on doing something constructive. If you really monitored and found everything shit then publish your report here.
Publish ,how you concluded that particular bounty is shit.

Lol... What are you trying to say? You are wearing a signature and saying you've entered zero campaign thus far? Well, I think it is you who should work hard rather and stop engaging in shitty projects.

What you say is theoretically true, but in this market, where anyone can tell what he wants, and present fantastic projects without providing the least proof of ability and investment, no matter how much you study there is never the certainty - but not even the hope - to make a good deal.

Well, I think you are only trying to play now. It is true there are so many shitty projects out there but there are some other good ones doing bounty campaigns it is left for you to find them and get in quick.

zero? you already joined one bounty with your second account as it looks like I got scammed in 3 bounties I stopped doing it for half a year

I'm definitely no bounty expert, I only try to find one good signature-campaign and beyond that, I just usually sign up to the telegram bounties.
So, with that said, I am curious as to how "quantity" works out for people who are joining bounties and doing the time consuming stuff(sharing on social media, posting a summary in the bounty thread etc), and how well has it paid out? Anyone who did this a year ago with every campaign, how much did it give in the end? Am I wrong to say it's 99% a waste of time as very rarely it pays out(if one just joins all, I mean?)

Its quiet impossible to say signatures are shitty signatures yes that could be the very one you fell into  now let me put it straight signatures are even the second highest paying bounty and for you to get zero maybe you did not perform your task or you did the shitty one make more research

Maybe it's the virtue of no choice bud that he wear that signature. It looks like he got also a point wherein almost all of the ICOs are scam but not all and we got to research it on our own and decide if we will work for them.

What are your criteria and guidelines and how did you come to that assessment and what makes your current signature better than the others or stand out, in my experiences some projects that I thought will not deliver, turn out to be a great project you should dig deep.

Did you create this topic just to rank on your current bounty because its hard to believe you if you are still wearing a signature on your Bitcointalk account.
It is always hood to research bounty before participating but I think you cannot give the same level of scrutiny like you would if you were investing in the project. Quantity over quality but guage your quality ratings well.

I'm afraid that's not the best idea in this situation. Well, rather to analyze projects in any case it is necessary, but to conduct a thorough analysis while sacrificing the number - this is not the best idea.

Well as for me quality in cryptocurrency supersedes quantity because you can have a huge number of trash coin and just a few numbers of good coins

Regardless of your signature .. !!!
But I disagree with you
Yes there are many scam campaigns
But there are also real campaigns
Just check well.

That is a good point. Don't get any conclusive idea without making any investigation or any background research first. Like the saying, don't judge the book by its cover. Don't be fooled by what is in the content to their web site and etc. features. Sometimes, a certain time for making research will give you a productive result.

To be honest there is no great thing than trying out in bulk! What does that statement is very much clear if you actually doing the bounties. With the increased number of bounties you can also increase your odds of hitting few of the good bounties. You can simply participate in all of them, and work hard on all of them, this way you are not leaving behind any bounties which may turn out to be too good in the upcoming future and thus you loosing the chance of getting involved into it. This is how it is done in the today's timeline. If you think that you can really research the bounties and makes sure the project is good or bad then forget about it because every project will turn out to be best one because that is how they are showing off!

many bounties are not good and scam nowadays. so many that good bounties are overlap by them as a result they get less exposure. there are bounty that i join which are successful and gives me money maybe you need more research to find a good bounty.

I still check carefully before participating in an ICO project. I still find a lot of good projects. But now the Crypto market is going down and that's why there are so many bad projects. We can not blame it, try to find more to get better results.

Do someone need to be told to research a project before joining the campaign, I think it is a common sense. I know a guy that do give people red trust if you are promoting a scam project, if a project says is giving out $2 million in bounty, you need to sit back and think twice.

Sir, it seems you are carrying a signature campaign

Yeah I agree with the publish part. You can even help others by sharing your results of your research even if you said there are no qualified ICOs for you. Maybe then the others can decide for themselves and try to learn.

LoL. If you don't say, I still not noticed his signature. MyCrytoBank team will "happy" when they see this qualify post and compliment that:


He even got 5 merits for this thread. Merit points are easy to get, right?

Good day. There's a lot of good campaigns out there. Yes bounty budget allocation maybe small if you look at it but as for me I'm after a good project or altcoin. I go after the quality of the product they are offering rather than the amount of salary they offer.

I usually do that on signature bounty only.
For social media bounties, which we can do it with infinite quantity, just do it for nothing to lose.
Thanks god if it's paid, if it's not i asume it as a charity :D

you just exaggerated the way you said and your wearing a signature. So you mean it's not a good project? I still believe that there's still gem among those garbage if we do diligent research.

I don't think we're going to be seeing this person's methods for evaluating bounties anytime soon! In the end, I think people get to evaluate the projects by their own standards and some will be happy with what others wouldn't be.

researching the project before working on it is the right action to get a good and original bounty campaign. Most just do it without analyzing. You can look at whitepapers and ico ratings like icobench and others.

This is quite true , many people are posting low quality posts, how do they expect to be rewarded in a community where quality is the core thing. Thanks for your amazing information.

For me since I am a bounty hunter with some experiences when it comes to bounties and payments. If I was going to enter a bounty campaign I always check whether their sales are attracting investors or not I think this is a good way to determine a good bounty since the bounty you receive will also base on how much money investors had invested.

You are suggesting a good approach. Many hunters  jumping  in bounties without any research made and then complaining that they were not rewarded as the ICO has not reached the soft cap or the rewarded token does not worth a penny.
Spend time on investigation before, rather than complaining later.

One way or the other, you should first inform yourself about a project before you take part in a bounty. So much i've already learned. Without research, it is very likely that you get involved in a scam bounty.

I also agree with this approach, that we  will carefully study a project before deciding to participate in it.
But there are really good projects, but the way to promote and attract investors is weak leading to project failure.
So a project we initially evaluated was good, but the end result was not as expected and vice versa.
In my opinion a good project or not will be based on four main factors:
 1. The foundation of the project and the people leading the project.
 2. Promote and attract investors
 3. Market factors at the time of the project happenning
 4. The luck

what I know is that not everything that looks good will be good, and vice versa.
for bounty I have to be really selective in choosing to participate in a bounty campaign.

Researching or doing our own due diligence in taking part in some projects is quiet common to I think most of bounty hunters nowadays to avoid wasting of time. But yeah even though we can't really tell if the project is ascam in just looking at those fancy promotions, websites and whatever they have for us to be in their trap it actually is part in the life of a bounty hunter. I was not involved in a scam projects but only in failed projects that are not able to deliver, promote and advertize their idea, they even give payments to us but the value won't go up.

I've always do check the project before joining on it's bounty campaign.
And the result i've got minimum amount of scam project, there are still projects that worth to follow, we just need to choose the right one.

Quality over quantity is good but I can tell you withoit hesitation even this concept does not guarantee success either! Your hardwork, investment at the quality project may not pay off either. However, one thing is sure that you have given your best and took the risk for better chances!

True. I have been in some project where I thought, "this project is great" — turns out to be crap. And one where project didn't even reach soft cap but team continued their efforts and gave immense value to their coin.

Try research with different perspective mate. that was i do for now..

This is one of my research steps that I use. I always pay attention for every thing project activity, even small things. eg: social media updates (Facebook, Twitter). in my opinion, social media is a thing that not too much attention, but i believe, social media have possibility will bring big affect. Project how have do that small thing, i believe people who behind of that project is really serious with his project.

just a little thing is noticed, what about big things (project future)? in my opinion, we are bounty hunters are just a small part of the ICO project. we only help in promotions, which are expected to bring good names for his project, introduction to all people and can bring investors.

As far as i participate in bounty, my dissapointed thing is reward i've earn is not worth with my work. "zero" is means 0, if you earn though $1 is not means "zero".

Research is the best thing to do in joining bounties program by checking all documents they had also the personal information of their building team. Yes a ton of shit bounty project emerging on this forum just to fool people that who invest and also those bounty hunters become zero their work, it is not worth it due to a scammed project has joined.

I hope there's a filtration of all project that launches from ICO to avoid possibilities scam, as I have noticed now most projects are scammed not being profitable to the investors and the bounty hunters. Some others are a failure to their project, so sad if you had participated in this project. Indeed, wasting our time.

That means you haven't join any bounty campaign in the last few weeks?
I think you can't judge all project to be scam, until the project going or the ICO ended, except you had a solid prove that those project were fake.

When you assess a projects potential it's not always easy to determine if it will be successful or not

Some projects have a great product and strong development team and simply don't get the attention they deserve

Generally if you monitor the progress of a crowdsale and wait until there's a reasonable amount raised before signing up you'll waste far less time on unsuccessful campaigns

Yes, it's a good strategy to find a good Bounty. Don't waste your time and energy on a scam project. Take our time to research projects before being involved carefully.
if you have experience, it is beneficial to find a good Bounty

examine or analyze it is obliged to do. It is sufficient to determine whether the measures undertaken could produce or just a trick of course. too much popping, of course, requires far more selective to avoid scam which is also more and more present in the bounty.

In fact, I agree with you, today I promote only 10 projects in social networks. Although my experience proves the opposite - it happened that projects in the success of which I didn't believe brought revenue and projects with very good ratings didn't collect soft cap, analysis doesn't always work.

For me, i just apply on every bounty with good rating, some turn to scam ico at the end, but almost all my bounties was paid me good, even i just sold 25% from every reward ive get

As of now, there are really a lot of these scam ICOs that does not even get their tokens listed on an exchange. It seems the ICO game is almost over and we are moving over to a new format of getting support from investors.

Because any data can be manipulated and remember about how the ico rating site was accepting payment system to manipulate the rating. It's so annoying for me personally.
But it looks so difficult to search the bounty that will have quality over quantity because we know that any projects are developing the same idea.

Sometimes, even a bad project can collect a soft cap and you get a lot of tokens for the bounty. It's like a lottery, there's no room for analysis.

Yes, the analysis takes time, especially now, but there is no guarantee that you will go into a worthwhile project, so it's easier to just take what you like and do your job

Though you are being criticized with your "zero" statement, your overall statement makes sense to me. Well, I don't agree with the "zero" but I would say joining a project as a bounty hunter should be researched and studied first. It's better to endorse only one good project than a hundred of shit ICOs.

This is absolutely not really true. I wanna believe you have only based this assertion of yours on a personal experience which if you have even taken enough precautions, you might have avoided this your Zero ish issue. Since this is the problem and you know, just as you highlighted, you can help your self to qualitative campaigns where you get an assurance of earning better.

Its a pleasure to promote something you believe in, but when it comes to campaigns, quantity works for most people.

I see also in the past few months many scam projects and projects that stopped when IOO disappointed us as our haunted bounties spent time and had no results, four months to five months after ico they stopped wasting a lot of time and also electricity internet costs as well no compensation for that

Until now, I am surprised by people who decided that without making any effort they will be able to earn money. In most cases, such people lose their money. To earn participating in bounty campaigns it is necessary to do a large amount of work on the analysis of the project, the team and their activities.

First and foremost, I must say your assertion isn't that construed well much. For the benefit of not raising fear in people's mind, I think it's best if you avoid fud by claiming everything bounty campaigns over the past few months have amounted to nothing. The implications this kind of assertion will have negative wise cannot be over looked especially in connection to people just coming into the game.

For the sake of avoiding quantity for quality as you have done well to input by the way, I wanna just recommend a way i have known and has worked perfectly fine for me. That is joining to a credible/transparent bounty team on telegram. Doing this, I think it will help. It has worked perfectly fine for me, I think it should work for anyone.

It is true that we also do not want to spend the important time we have just to follow the SCAm bounty campaign.
Maybe it's better to keep asking the Facebook Bounty group and keep asking the Bounty Manager.

I think you are right, because most of the current bounty activities are shit, because the number of fraudsters is increasing, but good projects still exist, which requires you to analyze carefully!

But how do you define the quality of a project? What do you use to identify so-called high quality projects?
I think this is the most difficult. Everyone has a different understanding of the project. Maybe I think a good project, you will feel it is bad.

It is important to know exactly what you are supporting in a project. One must be able to answer the question of how relevance will a project been supported be in the scheme of things in cryptocurrency and beyond.

This is what I try to look out for when I am signing up for bounties, you could sign up for a bounty that gives you a lot of coins but when the coins are not worth anything then it is a waste. It is better that you get paid a small amount of coins but the coins are worth a good deal than getting paid a lot of coins which you cannot use for anything.

You are absolutely right. Hunters need to make a good investigation, before participating in any project. They should read the whitepaper, look at the community in Telegram, search for reviews or interesting articles and only if you are sure, you can participate.

I used to join plenty of bounties especially during the bull market (oct 2017 to feb 2018) but when the delayed of bounty payment started during the bear season. I lessen my participation on many bounties and choose only the bounties being handled by trusted campaign managers of the forum.

I do not agree with you. It is pretty hard to find a great bounty, that will guarantee you high earnings. I would prefer to participate in 10 of them. Five of them will go scam, another three will be listed on a shitty exchange and only one or two will give you benefits.

In the world today
We have different people with quite a long list of ideas

What you believe cannot be what I believe
The way you rate a project is not the same way I rate a project

The terms with which you rate a project is different from my terms
Do you understand??

Quantity is more important here I am sure. It is better to have one particular doing and do it well than to have a lot of them and do not do them right. I like to be in the one case and control it than to be everywhere and can’t understand what should I do in common.

at least there are still some of the bounty project anyone can to produce. Indeed since the early entry in crypto, analysis and deepening must start emphasizing. This is important because many unexpected things in crypto and this can be bad if not savvy to overcome it. Don't be too put forward the results before you can fully understand will be crypto.

I think that you especially will not help, because at the moment there is no normal bounty of the company. There are less good projects in whose bounty companies you can take part. Quantity has never been the main task, but the quality is now a problem.
