Hi all. I took part in more than 3 hundred bounties in two year. Last half year there are no pay from project to hunters. Maybe bounty will die or it's transformayion in something other ???  ??? ???

You shouldn't post this topic here.
I can understand your feeling, this year is hard for ICO and many of them fail to collect soft cap while many were just scammers. So bounty hunters like us just have to have deep understand about the project, the team before joining a bounty for not waste too much time and get nothing.

I know your fell brother :(

I just want to know what think about it other - because all situation looks not clear - about 5-10 bounty start everyday, about 50% frozen in process and other 50% who ran to finish pay nothing to hunters.
I see that market in deep down, but project team say nothing and go to silence. That's why I just inresting - does bounty have future or not.

I do not think the ICOs and bounties will go extinct. ICOs are the new method that startups can use without banks to capitalize on them. However, there will soon be a new form of ICOs that will increase investor safety.

In addition, the Bounty Campaigns will not disappear from the crypt world as they are used to publicize the project and to aquire other investors.

I can hear what you are saying dude, the bounties these days are coming harder to get paid from. This is because there are too many ICOs and not enough investors, so many projects are failing to meet the softcap. Others are scams but i think most are just failed ICOs

I think there is nothing like the death of bounty, i do agree that bounty campaigns are either extended, paused or reward is intentionally delayed, basically we are hit by 2 factors; one being the struggle of raising funds by the icos due to months of bearish markets, lets see if october brings some change to markets or not. Secondly, there has been a rapid increase in number of bounty hunters, that coupled with extended bounty campaigns and low funds raised by the ico results in dilution of the reward, we can only hope that the market turns bullish soon and everything will be back to normal.

That is the real situation of cryotocurrency marketplace now. You must need to find the project with checking on the team information and project details before you are accepting it as investment or being participant in the bounty campaign.

Hopefully everything will be settle soon. After that we may expect the ico projects get listed with the good price soon.

Sad to know that thing and even myself or you are not the only one who do experience such thing but most hunters do really pass that experience on not being paid up on the work we done.Basing on current projects as of this year we can really able to say that only a few of them did able to succeed.Even they do reach out their cap but still when it comes to the amount being gained isnt really that big compared into last years.
Investors is losing out confidence on putting money due to scams and us hunters will definitely be affected.

In my opiniot, the ICOs and Bounty make a big part of cryptocurrency, and if ICO will die, the bounty die with it, with many perspective of making new coins for market, and after time, the market may die too.

bounties this days really come harder and takes a much longer time in paying off, some doesnt get to pay off at all. but as such, i think that the ICOs gives a higher and stronger hand to the cryptocurrency world and i think that the presence of ICOs are also taking part in the sustainance of the cryptoworld, and if ICOs die, bounties likely die as well. thus far, ICO and bounty dont die...

Yes nowadays there are very few altcoins which is launched without ICO so I think ICO will play a major role in future and bounty will not die. Honestly speaking I believe there will be some sort of arrangements made in the future which will make sure scam bounties are eliminated once it is launched. So there will be no risk for ICO projects.

I don't think ICOs die, it rather looks like people become more and more picky and sceptical about ICOs and that's good, it means market is becoming more mature. The format of ICO and bounties is too innovative to die, I think it will have second life.

with the look of things, in my opinion, ICOs actually tend to have a great impact in the crypto market very well and as such, if ICOs die, that means that bounties would die as well and that would result to low market and could possibly have a red market.

The whole crypto space is suffering right now and it's not gonna be different with new projects that are just preparing to jump in. It is not really related to ICO  in itself, the real problem is that there is no money to be pumped into new projects, mostly because a lot of investors already have their money stuck with other projects that they cannot get out from. Or the reality that there is no fresh new money coming into crypto space. With all that said I still see some good projects finding their way and managed to raise a good amount of money even with the current state of the market. The time of easy money raising has gone and I don't think it will back again even if the market changed to uptrend, a lot of investors already burned badly and I doubt they will put their money in useless projects anymore, and to be honest if only the good, solid, legit and strong projects will survive it will be good for crypto overall.

The fact that you are participating in 300 projects indicates to me that you are just a bounty spammer. You can't possibly be producing useful advertising for 300 projects at once, who are you? Roger Ver? There are definitely not 300 good quality projects in a year, perhaps only around 10 projects operating right now are actually worth the time to advertise, however since you particpated in over 300 you must have worked for literally every bounty, regardless how trash the project was. Blame yourself.

There were times when people really had vision and could come with genuine ICO, but now a days so many ICO comes with bounty tasks, they keep their best to be with market trend and extend their sale to reach soft calp or hardcap, bounty hunters try their best to promote their project as long as the ico comes to an end, and when reward time comes, some ICO ended up with scam, some pay like penny for the hardwork done, and slot people lost faith in bounties, still due to come for project people still have some faith and make their earnings for to that, I don't think it l die

Oh, first of all I should say that I am impressed. It is almost impossible to do 2 bounties per day. I guess you are talking about Telegram bounties. In any case, yes it is true, bounties are now very low and unstable because the market is crushing good and back ICOs.

Nothing is eternal, but as long as there is ICO, there will be Bounty, and I think ICO will not die soon, so it's too early to talk about Bounty's death. And over time, Bounty can change into something else.

i believe ICO's are die but i m not sure about bounties. of course this is all relevant with market cycle.
when the bull comes everything is gonna come back again.

If ICO market die, then bounties and investors will also die. The market downfall already showing their bad colors on everyone, while most of the investors leaving thier job now because of ICO scam projects. The ICO market needs good and real project, if they want to protect this Crypto world!

ICO and bounty will die, i think it is far from possibility right now because though ICO they get money from it with a project so those people who are well versed in crypto will always find ways to create a project then launched an ICO to get that money they want. If there are ICOs, bounties will be still alive because bounties will be promoting them.

I also being  part of some bounties from January until now, but all I can see is even you made all the task in ICO, at the end you can get any reward to them but the coins/tokens they left you with no value, but not all of that ICO ive participated are not paying to hunters, few of them are paid me, but very disappointed because the reward they promised to get is not happen, but it is ok unlike the other not pays me, bounties are not dying, just do some research to took good one that pays you.

then maybe the bounties you joined are scam. there are a lot of scam bounties so if you don't research and casually pick bounty because it offer high reward then you really got fooled by them. also there are many ICOs that failed and they choose not to continue.

WHY?
Ico is just a new era of crowdfunding, so why would it die? It will be evolution may be, but right now I see many investors put their money in ICOs. So definetly NO!

this is what must be aware of payments, there are many bounty projects also fail so all will affect the gift giving. failed projects will not give prizes to participants. so we must be careful in choosing a bounty project because I believe there are still many bounty projects that are established seriously and responsibly.

Scams can kill new economic models. Or not?

They not die, market condition is not good for them and they should make new rules/ guide to fit and fix their program. Many people still invest and join bounty program and some of them already leave and make opportunity with trade/ invest in another financial instrument. Not pay is our risk and you should understand that before join ICO project/ bounty program, remember that.

The bear season is solely responsible for this and despite this, there are just some things me projects that don't pay hunters at the end even after reaching their cap. Tokenpay never paid Envion as well and just so many others.

We all know that scam is everywhere, we don't have a way to stop it. Greedy person that who wants to gain and steal the money of investors are increasing.

it looks like the ICO and the bounty will never die because all this time what makes crypto increasingly crowded is the existence of campaign bounties from the ICO even though there have been many frauds and scam tokens from ICOs.

Yes it's true as long as there are many ICO project that create bounty campaign will not going to die.
Bounty is the way to promote the products and to gather investors.

They won't die. At least ico's won't die but i'm not sure about bounties.

Ico's also will regulated and won't be like now but still they will carry on.

I assume that ICO project like the other project as usual. a real project in the real world. They could be a success and failure. Therefore, So many scam ICOs or bounties cos the fact not all dev know how to promote how to do a good marketing. besides, they have already a willing to scam people (and in the real world it exist). If the team/dev serious they will find the best marketing strategy and goes live.

Will more investors back on this market???

I think it may die, but not now, because there are still many legitimate ICOs working hard to develop, but as the number of fraudsters increases, many investors will leave the market because of fraud, which will lead to ICO lack of funds and slowly death!

I think you're just involved in bad projects. All the companies I've participated in have been successful and have been paying out tokens lately.

hey dude
I checked your profile from 1 to 10 there wasn't much discussion either especially the assignment for the signature campaign, almost mostly useless. This is bad, why are there many ico getting worse. I think you have to improve your quality if you want to be involved deeply in this industry.

I also observe such a picture. And it is very sad to realize that many ICO projects do not bring any profit to bounty hunters. But I hope it is still normal when the market recovers.

I'm sure that bounty campaign will never stop and will only grow and appear in other ways participate in them, as for new projects will need maximum advertisement and in all its manifestations.

it is impossible for ICOs and bounty to die because I know there are still many people who want to invest in ICOs.
what is needed for a bounty hunter I think of doing in-depth research for ICO projects that you want to campaign for don't let your time be wasted.

Keep cool it will not happen. ICO and bounties have will always become part  of the cryptocurrency world. ICO may die in name but new platform or name will emerge and just like ICOs will have rewards to offer because the bounty hunters way of popularizing the project is so powerful that the team and development rely on the community who also are including the bounty hunters.

ICO = bounty. If ICO dies - bounty dies. These are interrelated concepts. But I'm not sure that the time of the end of the ICO has already come. I see no reason for that. The main reason for all the problems - this is a very large number of scammers in the market that steal money from investors and bounty hunters.

Hi it's true. But not all. I try many camaigns (included signature) because I writhenn about it on my site - it's true. But discussions I begin not for campaign - it's trully interesting to me.

I think the only reason for an ICO and bounty to die or vanish is when there is no bounty hunters and investors supporting to it. But I guess ICO and Bounty will not going to die since investors always seek opportunities to invest in. We can just label those ICO and BOUNTY dead if they are classified as scam.

I do not think that ICO projects and bounty campaigns will disappear. Let the quality of them is not the best, but soon everything will be fine and we will start earning again, as before. Worse will not be, and there is an improvement in what direction.

There have always been bounties, even before ICOs! Hardly ICOs will die because someone will do this kind of deal anywhere in the world, but you can understand that there is a greater understanding of this subject and that the creators of ICOs will in fact have to prove the need for funding and justify their projects before to raise huge amounts of dollars, ETH and BTC. That previous hype will only occur again, if there is a new entry of people and other ideas, such as an ICO of space travel, where whoever has a token, will be entitled to a ride in space, can you predict the hype in that?

The time is bad for ICOs Bounties. The market was red, during the last 9 months and investors are simply losing their hope. According to the last stats, the ICOs investments reduced by 50 percent in September. We need a new wave of hype, to see the green market again.

I'm not shure about bounties too. But what alternative for promote project?

Hope that they are not, because without ICOs it will be impossible to develop cryto market in the future.

Even without ICOs development of crypto's can still be on going.

ICOs are made to support those projects that doesn't have enough fund to continue their project. A billion dollar company can develop blockchain or their own crypto even without having an ICO. That's the fact that ICOs will come to an end for the upcoming years and bounty as well.

Apparently you're just a member of fast and low-level projects. for 300 projects you have not received the desired-a good income. Your level of involvement in projects is limited to reposts, likes and then begging for a reward. That's pretty sad. Either you are satisfied with it, or you should show your experience and become a more useful participant in the projects. As for your question, I very much hope that the ICO process will be improved in the near future, as well as the bounty campaigns, there is definitely a need to restore order to exclude both scam and fake projects,and to attract more competent bounty hunters.

chances are yes, we can't avoid it one day.
but no if you have your knowledge will not end in this industry, there are many choices in every speculation that you can do of course to be able to bring profit.

I would describe it as being on a break, 2018 has been particularly unkind to the ICO that dared to try and launch during the Bear market, with most failing to hit anywhere close their Hardcap and then tokens launching on the exchanges at a fraction of the sale price. We need to sit back and wait for a change in market conditions after which the ICO will most likely return to profitable status.

I also fully agree with you, ICO and Bounty programs will never end, now the market decline is because people are more focused on ETH and BTC, but there are many ICO projects They are potential and growth in their own style, not in the price trend of BTC or ETH.

To say that the bounty and the ICO are dead - it means absolutely not to study what is happening in the market. This is not true. The projects continue to appear with each other day, only now there is some calm. All serious projects are waiting until the next rise in the market.

I think you are right because there are many scam bounties which is just time wasted projects but I think there also some projects which is reliable so do hardwork maybe we will get the reward so just continue your hardwork.

You win some, you lose some. But i don't think that bounty and ICO will die the soonest possible time. There are a lot of projects out there that will spawn and i do hope that they are legit, they need bounty campaign to make their project known/popular to the community.

For me, bounty campaigns could possibly die if devs of ICOs do not find this forum efficient for advertising anymore which is really near to come since our forum is getting more infested by the spammers/shitposters as time goes by. On the other hand, I don't even think that ICOs will die so easily unless crypto will fade too. Even though hundreds of ICOs already existed up to date, it will not stop as long as they can find a platform for their coin. And besides, it is a great way of earning through "pump - & - dump" cycle so why would the devs even get tired of doing this thing?

Those ideas just come to your mind maybe because of the downtrend in the market — you're worrying. Well, I can't assure you that those things will never die, but for sure, the crypto market will become lively again.

I think that there are bounties and ico that have long been employed so long they will distribute a coin to the bounty and there are ico and bounty too fast to work and also distribute a coin to the bounty but other bounty it's too late and there's no update yet I think other people think that this scam but that's really a scam and no longer pay so be careful when it comes to those who are especially involved with investors so it's not worth your investment.

Due to failing projects, scam ICOs and the prevalent bearish market condition, bounties have not really been profitable. Time and efforts invested in promoting most projects have turned out in futility. This had made bounties look like they're threatened or they will die, this is not the case. Bounties will become profitable again once the market bounces back.

I think there is a lot of debate but now there are a lot of ico who are still coming in with a variety of innovations. although there are many risks, especially for scams. I think ico will always be there as long as there are many investors who are interested in this business.

no is not dead is just because the whole market going slow now so yeah

  Si jeje

Yeah definitely, maybe he played it too ambitious thinking that he could have get a huge profit out of it. ICO and bounty campaigns are not dead, just so happen that you are really a greedy because of an easy task and money attaining. Choose an ICO with the most trusted developers and founder, make use of the sites rating known ICO's, not just because they told you a bubbly statements.

i do not think icos and bounties will die out so fast, but finding a good ico or bountie is getting harder and harder. and even if you find a good bountie, the payments are very small.

Well it doesn't mean that happened to you will happen to us too. From the way i see it ICO and Bounty will still continue as long as there is a project, it will never ends. Maybe they will just add some rules and regulation about ICO and that will help investor to invest confidently.

Bounty will die if scam projects will continue it is fault of scam projects because they use bounty hunter to gather funds and run away at the end

Definitely, in my opinion, ICO and bounty will continue to live and give opportunities to the investors and bounty hunters to earn profit. Personally, I did also experience several bounty campaigns where I haven't been rewarded from my participation but I consistently continue as I believe there will be time that I could achieve the goal of being rewarded someday and just several months back, it was my first ever bounty that I had received the pay out. Just continue to be more positive and definitely you will be rewarded soon.

i think that ICO-s and bounties just won't die, they're too important, i think they will regulate this maxium

If it continues with icos and bounties, we will certainly see the end next year. The scam icos destroy the market and drive out all investors.

As long as there are ideas from the people who want to create a project in cryptocurrency i think it will keep going.
The ease of creation (mostly erc-20) token, there will always be new project every day.

ICOs and Bountys will never gonna end cause the demand are always have. Cryptocurrency are growing so do the project that need ICOs and his army of bounty hunter. They need to spread the hype so all peoples will know they exist.

I would very much like to have common rules developed and used for ICO. In order to collect investment went not to the accounts of developers, but to a special fund from where the money would be transferred to the developers as the road map steps were completed.

If CryptoCurrency Trends will continue. I'm pretty sure that ICO/ITO still survive and the bounty will not die. Maybe it will transform into a new form or system because the word bounty is long existing and used to illustrate as a form of Reward to a particular work or job. it will remain and it will not die. until there is a reward system.

Will not die, I think new forms of dissemination of information about new projects will appear, as they will be more and the demand is increasing. Bounty campaign will never end, it may become more difficult, but just stay.

I've been a bounty hunter for almost 2 and a half years and I also feel it that this is not a good year for us hunters. Then, I only joined not more than 10 social media campaigns but the profit is good. That was before the BTC price was around $800k. But now I hardly get compensated because the project either just turn to scam or has dumped the price after the sale.

I believe that the ICO won't end unless blockchain has already been integrated into all businesses or industries. So is bounty since they need us in their marketing.  :)

If everything also continues, then the bounty can disappear as cheap advertising since it will no longer be needed and something completely different will come to its place. Well, it doesn't matter and we will change. ;D

Just as you feel guys, lately I also do not receive the token from the bounty I follow. But I do not think bounty is dead, only a lot of deceitful projects and bounty hunter should be smarter than choosing a non-deceptive project.

I think the point here is not the ICO and the market. ICO's are bound to the market after all and when the market is not doing well you can not expect the bounties to be any good neither. The prices of barely new coins without even hitting any decent market was too high back in the day.

I have seen coins that are not on any exchange and not even out of the ICO stage yet increase in price and become top 25 coins. You can not value a coin top 25 without it even come out of the ICO stage yet but it happened during bull times. Now people are expecting same type of payments but its impossible in this market.

I am definitely sure, when growing market will return, ICO (accordingly and  bounty) will work again too and will give profits. Because now, no one next "blockchain 5.0 or ether killer" couldn't collect any funds.

Yes, the situation now with the earnings in the campaigns of generosity ICO is very difficult. It will change for the better when the market begins to recover and, moreover, the states will begin to regulate the process of holding an ICO. The ICO regulation process will in any case, as states are obliged to protect their citizens from fraudsters, as they cause serious material damage to investors.

In fact, last half year was a bearish season (still bearish). How can you expect something good at such times? Regarding ICO, there will be more regulation on ICOs for preventing the scam ICOs which steals people's money. Also, some platform may come which will ensure the best for both parties, investors and ICO owner.

3 hundred bounties is perfect track record and I understand your frustration, last half a year was really hard time for hunters, but I hope next bull tun will bring us more ICOs and huge bounty rewards as a result

Too it seems to me that something wrong to happen with Bounty and ICO. I do not think that they ischesnut so quickly, rather all turn into something other.

I don't think they will die.

ICO's are a new way of crowdfunding.

Bounty Programs are a new way for marketing.

They may evolve but they won't die.

Wow! You must've put in a lot of time & effort into bounties. But if you started doing bounties for the past two or three years, maybe there are some few good ICOs / Bounties / Projects in which you made some good money and average amount of cash. I hope you did, because these past few weeks, months and days, and probably a few weeks, months or even years (hopefully not) more bounties is not as profitable as it was before and we can't rely on it anymore to give suitable amounts of rewards.

Bounty will not die so far ico doesn't die bounty campaign service will be needed to advertise for awareness, come to think of it, for you to do 3 hundred bounties and not getting paid you have been doing wrong bounties for the entire two years

New way for marketing?

No mate.. we did a lot of 4-5 years ago  :) I remember when Bitcointalk.org admin banned bounty campaigns (because of the campaigns everyone make spam comments) from "altcoin discussion" and made new topics for this.. at this time we was online and made new site for coin developers to promote their bounty campaigns and we had daily 5-6k unique visitors for 2-3 weeks..

and still this is the best way to promote your project. Easy and cheap but you can reach lot of people.. good for everyone.

That teams who are did bounty campaigns usually don't have money for promoting but they have power and works like real team and sometimes in this ALTCOIN world this means more than some hundred - thousand dollars because if investors see the potential (work, trusted team,etc..) they will invest..

The market of 2017 gave a birth to many scammers in ICO and among bounty hunters. ICO cannot raise the same sums as it was before. But there are too many hunters for a bounty pool.

In my opinion, no. It's just wave of popularity to use bounty and ICO. Many scams make demand of ICO less, but over time, everything will recover.

Now everything goes to it. All wait for the cryptocurrency growth and if it is not everything to fall off and there will be only a few cryptocurrencies.

If ICO's become regulated mot likey they still will be live, but if not then due to a large amount of scam no one will want to invest in them in the future, so they will most likely die.

Bounty hunting is like an investor. You have to pick wisely to avoid scam. Check all the important details about the project, the credibility of the team, white paper, github and there marketing strategies if they have the capability to indure the worst case scenario like what is happening today.

in my opinion this is natural, all have a time. Bounty is getting worse in the eyes of investors because of the many scam projects. if this continues to be left without an institution that can choose a project that is truly quality, then I'm sure the bounty will soon become extinct. :'( :'(

Now that market is dip it look like ICO will die but we still waiting for the growth of cryptocurrency, bounty campaign will keep improving if the price rise

I think the ICO is alive, but the bounty is dying. Developers are already looking for new ways to attract investors, and soon the bounty will cease to carry out at all.

My opinion that social media influence will be growth and the bounty method of advertising will not die but change in some way. Now we can see a lot of bounty platforms arise not only for cryptoprojects. Regarding ICO my thoughts are similar.

I don't think they will die as long as there is a need to make or generate a cryptocurrency for a certain purpose. Bounty in the other hand will help reach ICO's success through numerous promotions and advertising.

I do not believe that Bounty and ICOS will die but they are having a hard time when the crypto market can not recover. Other variants of ICOS  would like to be born of and to avoid dependence on Bitcoin and ETH.

It seems that the end is near for bounty hunters, nowadays ico projects are a way of scamming people and investors, and some others dont pay their bounty participants, and some just stop, i dont understand why, due to the massive number of ico nowadays, i feel like investors are aware of the recent problems encountered by ICO projects.

I think the ICO market may die in the future, but it will happen at least two years later, as more and more investors are being deceived, and the ICO market will die out due to lack of investors!

This year be the year that was bad for the bounty results compared to last year. many bounties I see continued to extend their trips and many who experience late payment due to various things. even the most severe is often a big problem being scam finally made investors simply receive bad results.

I think ICO and bounty will never die because it develops together with blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. In the future it can be transformayion for fitting the change of the market.

Do you mean that you have not received any compensation for participating in 300 projects? How did you succeed in avoiding all formal projects? This is simply unbelievable.

If I get UI you correctly,  you mentioned that you took part in three hundred (300) bounties in the last two years and you have not gotten payments,  if this is the case for you,  it's hightime you leave bounty campaign alone!

No no no))) I'm wrote maybe incorrect. I took part in more than 300 bounties. And had a paid from it, but not from all. And more and more project didn't pay in 2018 than in 2017.

ICO will never die, rather it will be reformed with new regulations and format. I have seen some platform is being built for a better ICO and having protected from scam and fake ICO. Also, there has already a new reform has been come, STO aka Security Token Offering which may really change the ICO field at all.

Can you give me links about STO?

In my opinion, hygiene is today. The only problem for the company’s ico market is the presence of a large number of fraudsters. If there are certain levers of control or management, then at the legal level it will be possible to fight against fraudulent actions in the market of ico companies. But with respect to promising projects, it is very difficult to say something, because each developer has the right to develop his idea.

I have heard and analyzed myself about the ICO or project bounty and I don't think it died but many failed but with so many new projects that are better with the system and prospects. in this year there were indeed a lot of dead projects, we don't think too much about crypto too negatively but must support and continue to survive.

In the beginning the bounties were too good, and even though there was small pay at least they paid their bounty hunters.

Now new bounties promise millions and hundreds or thousands of bounty hunters join and still there is no pay or the payment is near to zero which leads to not join in the next campaign, so yeah it's coming to an end.

No, ICOs are still alive but just extended and having a hard time reaching the target. This might be the effect of the down crypto-market. So, it is just ICOs that are affected only. It's the whole industry. Don't worry. Let's see what will happen to ICOs after the bull run.

ICOs are facing difficult times due to the market situation and some of them postpone the TGE and the
distribution. We have to be selective as many of ICOs fail nowadays from start.

Existing ICO projects delay or delay payment to bounty participants is evident because the market situation is very volatile. But the ICO and the bounty will never die because the bounty campaigns is a very useful form of promotion when ICO projects want to attract more investors to their projects.

The ICO's and bounties will not die yet. Don't get it wrong, they will not produce any money one day so make a lot.

New growing phase is here in Q4 2018, ICOs are live and bounty program too.
You can join and support the best bounty program at the moment from Organicco: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3777991.0

It could happen that bounties and ICOs could die, if no one is going to stop this industry's scammers. Even the good ICOs struggle to reach the soft cap due to everyone worrying about getting scammed.

No. I'm not a Roger Ver. But I'm not a spammer too. About 2 years ago I took part in Iconomy ICO. Than I took part (like investor) in TenX and Chronobank. After that I took part in Ambrosys bounty campaign on invite of man, who read my old twiiter (it was account since 2007 year and have 60k readers). After that I create portal of bounty for all and try participate in bounty campaigns that I placed on my site. That's my way)))

I think bounties have become an important part of the crypto culture, so I do not think they will disappear. However, due to the gradual increase of regulations in the market, as well as the greater existence of bounty hunters and the increasing uncertainty of the investors, I see highly probable that the income to participate in these campaigns tend to diminish considerably with the passage of time. Therefore, I believe that the time has come when we must begin to look for new alternatives to generate income in the cryptospace, since fortunately, after these years of growth in this sector, there are more and more options for obtaining extra income, although maybe a little more effort to obtain the same income as before is required now.

It seems to me that this is a problem for everyone, but I think in the near future fraudsters will be eliminated with taxes, which the government wants to deliver for ICO will give us a big plus, or do we need every project to give data on its team, phone numbers, and so on !

One topicstarter wrote some topics above, that he earns 1000 dollars every month by traslation campaigns. Bounty doesn't die for him. Rewards depends on bounty hunter, if he avoid scam.

Bounty and ICO are not dead, just that it was in a bad phase for this year. many of the ICO fails and many bounty scams into challenges and because of the influence the value of the crypto fell also became quite affects the value of the ICO and also less yield bounty for this time.

Well, it means that you are fatally unlucky, last year there was a rise in crypto currency and bounty, it was almost impossible to get something for your work and not to sell, literally money was made out of thin air) 300 bounty in two years?) very few, although I could be wrong. It’s too early to say that ico and Bounty are dying, I think they, like the market, are undergoing a hard correction and 2019 will be more productive.

No, the ICO projects will not die and the ICO bounty campaigns also. Now it’s just a very difficult time at ICO due to the fall and long stagnation of the cryptocurrency market. However, there are problems with the ICO, they also exist with regard to the ICO teams and headhunters. Indeed, in many cases, the ICO teams do not even notify the bounty hunters about their decisions, or simply for a very long time do not provide them with any important information even on the numerous requests of bounty hunters. It is necessary to regulate the activities of the ICO and establish clear rules with mutual rights and responsibilities of the ICO team and headhunters.

It is no off course. ICOs are still coming and more will still come, even bounties will still continue to surface. The only challenge investors are facing is the too much scam in ICOs these days.

I dont think ICO and bounty will die because this is the best strategy to promote a project. But if that time will come to end then maybe we find another better than bounty. Its time to move forward on finding decent job if bounty and ICO will end.

I don't believe so, main reason for failure of ico is this market condition. When market stable investors will tend to buy token from ico and as that there will be great time for bounty hunters also.

It seems to me that projects will begin to carry out ICO without attracting bountyhunters, everything goes exactly to that. Other ways to attract investors are already being found, and further this process will only accelerate.

This is not the first time I ask myself the same question. I think bounties bring profit for bounty members only on the growing market and such a situation as now won't kill ICO and bounty but will only stop their development. I think when the market becomes green there will be a lot of profitable bounties

I don't think bounty's dying. On the contrary, it seems to me that the development of this sphere is now beginning because of such large drops in rates. So I think it's probably just that you've had some bad luck with the projects you've been involved with lately.

Not at all but people will start to eleminate serious projects and they will start to invest serious projects. There was so many scam projects last year i hope 2019 will be a year of working projects

3 hundred bounties??? Impressive!!

i don't think that ico neither bounty will die. It's just that period that is pretty tought for crypto and there are too many projects for less total money.

I believe it's a pretty tough time for the ICO market in general. Quite the contrary to 2017. Projects are struggling to raise funding while even the most ridiculous projects received funding back in 2017.

The market is generally down at the moment so there's no reason to be surprised ICOs are performing poorly. Though it may be for only short term, ICO market will soon recover if the bull run happens. Also, there's this problem with ethereum moving to POS, so I think once this problem gets resolved, all will be good.

Now the percentage has increased by quite a lot. During the first quarter of 2018, around 25% to 30% of the bounties (my calculation) didn't paid the bounty hunters. That proportion has increased to around 70%-80% now.

Although it does not seem to be the case now, it seems that ICO is losing value. Future coins will not be selected for public sale, but the number of ICOs will drop significantly. It will eventually disappear, but this is not terrible news unless you are a bounty hunter.

I don't think so. If the year ago even the bad ICO could gather a lot of money, then now we have a different situation - only the best ones survive. For instance, Spotcoin raised $14 Mil only for a pre-sale and one week of ICO. While good projects will be created - ICO will not die.

New ICOs are realizing that investors are getting more intelligent. Shit ICOs are having a hard time launching their tokens. The market is naturally cleansing and healing itself and this is good.

I think the same, last six month we got no payment for bounty hunter, I am not hope bounty campaign will die because this only my earning

For me, ICO and bounty is still a mystery. I don't think there's any point in burying them. You just chose the wrong projects and your participation has come a kind of black stripe. So just try to choose a little more carefully than before

I understand your point of view but bounty is not about the number..... Involving yourself in plenty bounties doesn't matter the main thing is getting legit bounty..... If you participate in 20 bounties and at least 10 work at fine it better than 100 that doesn't pay...... I believe bounty is not die even some ICO still raise enough fund.

I am believe ICOs will keep run in the future and bounty too. Its true that right now many ICOs fail achieve their target because market condition but i do believe they will back when market start recovery

Yes, I believe that the ICOs and bounties would still be existing in the months or years to come as long as there are people who would be willing to implement an ICO. Although, there may be some differences in terms of who they would accept ot what kind of bounties they would be doing because for how many years that there are bounties, they can now see what bounties are effective and what are not.

I do not want to believe in it, but every day I’m more and more convinced that this kind of income comes to an end. But I hope that he will be replaced by some kind of better system.

for bounty dead, I guess not. It's just that this indeed was in a pretty bad phase where the results of the bounty are always falling. of course, this will affect the existing values and also makes the results not being according to expectations. with the result, that small would be reasonable when much speculation increasingly falls bounty and possibly even continue to decline.

That is so rock, joining that many bounty and none of them paying, that would be so sad.
I've joined bounties too, and i've got payment form most of them, I think you need to do more research before joining into bounty campaign.

ICOs will always be a way to raise funds for new tech startups and bounties their advertising tool. As long as crypto space lives, those two are far from being over or gone.

The ICO will continue to live as long as crypto is still alive because the ICO is a bridge for new companies to realize their dreams and also fields for investors to invest in ICOs.
without ICO crypto will be without fans because it is impossible to just hope for coins because there are many coins that die on the market.

I think Bounty and ICO will never die. bounty is the best and cheapest way you have to advertise any ICO. Although there is a scam but another bounty is still good and profitable. Before you choose a bounty campaign do not get to check their project.

Wow, it's very worrying. Now I am also starting to be pessimistic about the ICO project. I think the ICO project is now just as simple as not serious in developing its project, as well as a whitepaper that is unclear and very difficult to understand. Hopefully the scam project will stop and a good project will be born in the future. And the passion of investors to the ICO project goes up again.

Many ICO and bounties are got scam, that the reason why many bounty hunter did not get their payment because they are joining scam bounty and unsuccessful project.

The solution of this problem is  we need to know how to determine if the project are suspected to be scam in the future to avoid those projects and look for good project that has a good future to earn more.

To me, Bounties is not dead, but earnings from bounty campaigns keeps going down on a daily basis due to some factors such as; increase in number of projects out there and increase in number of scams in this project which actually made many people to loose interest in investing in ICO's.

Yeah I did a signature bounty, publication and youtube bounty for a project but their ICO failed so they just cancelled the project. Kind of a waste of time.

Most ICO projects are currently failing in their marketing so that bounty hunters don't get paid for them, recently I was also very disappointed with the ICO project I participated in in their bounty campaign, they managed to collect Softcap during the iCO period, but when they registered exchanges of their prices are far from the ICO price, this is very detrimental to investors and participants' bounties.

yeah, you are right.
we can't guess how the future of ico and bounty. whether they (ico and bounty) will stay alive or will die. but if we still have the opportunity to follow it, we should just follow it. only now do we have to be more choosy in investing in the ICO project or become a campaign participation.

because there are several projects that look good, but the project is not part of a bright future.

I doubt it a lot, since the ICOs are simply a form of startups and after so many years we see how sillicon valley still goes, although the investments have dropped, you can still find good projects in which to benefit and if the ICOs do not die, less the bounties, because they go hand in hand.

this is part of cryptocurrency and if one of them dies the cryptocurrency will not run again, therefore we may never be smart to know the scamer but the project actually still guarantees profit and we know for that

I think to speculate of course dead bounty is not correct. Although for some time it looks bad enough but there's still a bounty of the many that exist still could produce. even from the ICO are supported by the bounty could also be reborn new crypto has this innovation and are sought after by many people. with those reasons naturally makes the bounty will continue to exist.

Chances for vanishing is always there as we all know that bounty hunters today struggle to earn even a little but most ICO doesn't pay or have a long time delay to give the reward and the adverese effect is most hunters will demotivated and decide to stop bounty so in order to be everybody happy every ICO must give a fair attention to investors and hunters.

I have been reading on Coindesk that STO time is coming
Security regulated token offering
Very much similar to IPO maybe IPO will disappear with time
But ICO time will not end i only hope that really quality ICO will overcome all that scam ICO

I don't think so, or at least not now. Cause there are projects or bounties that paying and the coins are trade able in the market.
What we need to do is find them among all those scam project that keep on increasing their volume.

I also participated in a few bounty in the past. The bounty pool looks great but the truth is that when the ICO is listed at the exchange, its price is seven times lower than the ICO. It was horrible when I joined 8 weeks and only received 40$

IPO has lost its popularity in the crypto world after ICO came out. People are into ICO few years ago but trend is setting and changing and right now ICOs are full of scams so there should be a cleansing again.

And I think similar thing would come to STO's but as long as its going to be regulated it can minimize scams.

I believe IPO, ICO, ITO STO are all the same, having only different name.  These terms are pertaining to crowdfunding.  I believe the essence of crowdfunding will never die, they will just evolve into some new names but the objective is still there.

As of the ICO and bounty, scammers saw that having and ICO and launching a bounty enable them to have a free marketing.  They propose IDEA, create a token and launch a bounty program, with the created token as payment, they are able market their project free.  If the marketing goes well, they have fund and pay people with token and let the market pay these bounty hunters.  With these regulations everywhere, these half-baked project that launch ICO got a hard time collecting fund, so at the end, bounty hunters are not paid. As a result we think that ICO is dying but no, it will not die.

This is not a good thing to say because bounties is still not dead right now. There are still a lot who pays bounty hunters and let them get what they deserve.

You mean from all those 300 bounties isn't paying anything? all the  bounties that you join are scam?
That is really sad, I myself also joining a bounty, and i've got paid from the bounties that i'm join in.

I don't think so, you are right, there are so many bounties that are ultimately not paid to bounty hunters and they just leave, things like this are very unfortunate for us who have supported the time we have, and finally it will be in vain, I think the bounty will continue for the next few years.

No no))) Payed and sometimes very good, but last halfyear process more slowly.

ICOs might eventually die off because investors lose interest, it is presently just a boom but projects who already conducted ICOs successfully before that period would still be alive and well and many of them would need publicity for one reason or another and that would keep bounties alive, I have participated in over 200 bounties this year and many of them are projects that already successfully finished their tokensale, that should tell you something.

ICO is near to its end and STO will replace ICO, ICO don't pay properly to the bounty hunters they are just taking advantage to the bounty hunters, too many scams and project with no working product, the End of ICO is near.

No, as long as cryptocurrency lives the ICO and bounty does not die. The ICO campaign needs promotional to their project in order to attract more investors on their project.

Yes there are many scam bounty and ICO now but ICO and bounty will never die because there are many people keep supporting ICOs to earn money so the good things that we nee to do to earn money investing our time by joining many bounty is be wise in choosing a project that we are adverting and avoid suspicious project to avoid wasting time project.

ICO and bounty is here to stay as long as there is crypto currency. Many new coins will be launched and they need bounties to spread about their coins and ICO to gather investors.

I think they do not die, they just decline over time, now many people have abandoned this market, do not expect too high, may be difficult for us, because the coins will fail. Sharpen further in the future

There are too many projects now, and it is rather difficult to find a project that can pay well. This is more like a game of roulette, because you still have to hope for luck.

I do not think that bounties and ICOs will ever die. There are facing difficulties due to the market situation. But as soon as the market recover, ICOs will be very successful. We need another bull run to attract the new investors.

maybe the ico project and the bounty hunter will be replaced by something new,
because nowadays most ico contain scam elements. and for too many bounty hunters who are really ignorant and don't do their jobs properly

There are many projects that do not achieve softcap or become scam. Besides the delay of the project when distributing the tokens to bounty hunters is also a big problem. ICO and bounty do not die

until now there are still many ico popping up every week, some of which I see have good white paper. but there is no guarantee of success. especially for bounty hunters who are increasing every day and there are many posts that are repeated to be very boring

When the market will remain the same for a longer period of time, it will die. Because people do not want to invest in ICO anymore and do not want to take part in bounties, because the projects are not collecting their funding goals.

I think ICO is likely to die in the future (because there are too many fraudsters), but the bounty activities will not, and the bounty activities are more likely to survive in another new way!

it seems that ICO will never die, from time to time there will definitely be a new ICO that is created for sure there will be a lot of ICO created and trying to become one of the solutions to problems in the world and usually the ICO development of cryptocurrency will be better.

The figure is not good and it's very discouraging you should post those ico that did not pay you, and also those bounty managers that hold your stakes so trusted members here will give them negative feedback they can be considered as scammers for not paying their workers.

Of course not it will still continue! ICO's and bounty will not gonna die as long as there are many people who are still believing that has their own project that are more useful than other people who make their own they will launched it to promote it and share to other people.

I can't even imagine a 300 bounties with no payment. I think you need to change the way you select bounties as it not worth your effort.
For me, this ICO is now the new method in finding funds for their projects and this will continue even if many projects had failed due to the works of those scammers. I just hope that investors will get enough knowledge to select those legit projects.

I agree with you . If earlier investors, without hesitation and reflection, invested in projects, hoping to make huge profits, now they have become more meaningful in doing this, doing research, and learning about the project. It really pleases.

I think it will happen if the government strongly impost ICO regulations and stop ICOs because their are too much ICO now that did not survive and only good for the beginning.

It will not die but there will be more scams to come. Bounty campaign helps the project a lot to become successfull because promoting ICO is also hard that's why the team intend to have bounty to help them

Nope i can't seen icos and bounty die, i saw the investors interested to invest in icos bounty project, but i think need to learn how to control and regulate icos project to avoid making fake or scam project.

As i remember last half year of 2017 is when the crypto market booming and so the ICOs too so i think it will depend of which ICOs that you have joined that unfortunately for you that you choose ugly ICO on that time. This year is i considered the worst for all ICOs due to bearish market in which the hunters are really affected too but it doesn't mean that ICOs and the bounty will die but some ICO is just waiting for the bullish market to start that is why they have just postponed their projects.

I doubt that ICO will die, by the way, today one of the ERC20 developers offered a new way of the ICO.
According to the bounty, back in the days, it was way more profitable and interesting. Currently, too much hustle, too many KYC and too many things need to do to collect those tokens.

the possibility that this could happen now is that there are very many ICOs who commit fraud against investors, so investors have reduced interest in investing in an ICO project.
if this continues, the ICO will be abandoned and will die soon

I also read this news. and it’s good that there are new, better ways to raise funds. Personally, I also think that the ICO system should change.

As long as the Blockchain is not fully utilized, new projects will continue to be developed and as most of these projects cannot afford all the funds needed to bring their idea and solution to realization, ICOs and bounties will continue to exist. What might happen in the future pertaining to the unpaid or unrewarded bounty hunters will be the implementation of regulations to that will check and correct the occurrence unpaid bounty programs.

ICO that will not die are those ICO based on cryptocirrency ideals like openess, fairness, decentralisation, p2p and community! Going foward, there will have to be solid product and service before project can receive support they need for growth!

Actually, We did not want a high pump like 20K USD of Bitcoin price in this year, we expected 10K USD, but it went. And after then the crypto market is falling down significantly! So, ICO investors are reduced for the long-term bear market. Every ICOs are facing huge problems to acquire a minimum amount! And after successful of ICO, they stopped listing on exchanges to avoid a big dump, so they haven't paid to the bounty members too!

Yeah many ICO just waiting for next bull run and not paying bounty hunters or just extend their ICO dates. Of-course the good bounty decreasing even the interest of ICOs are also getting down day by day. Maybe end of this hear bring some good news. If still market not go up and stay like now then sure it will gonna be end.

So far there's no profit from the bounty of the companies, as the ICO are unable to collect sufficient funds. All this is due to the large number of scams and because of the fall of the market throughout 2018. If these issues are resolved, the bounty company will be relevant again.

if in my opinion not bro. although some of them are scams. even die. but there are still lots of bounties and ico that have pretty good price chart movements ..

For ICO, I have a bad feeling. ICO has been cold from last year's popularity to the first half of this year. Now ICO has completely lost the favor of investors. This step clearly shows that ICO's brilliant days have passed, bounty The same is true, when the ICO is no longer brilliant, the bounty is also unprofitable.

I am sure that these are temporary difficulties in bounty and ICO. ICO is currently created for very ambitious projects. Our present time is preparing to ensure that every inhabitant of the planet, having a perspective idea, has the opportunity to realize himself in this complex society.

No, they won't die, because of the falling market. When the market will turn green everything will recover. Low market volume = low prices = lack of investors. Green market = bull run = higher prices = a lot of investors = ICOs that are reaching hard caps.

Definitely not, temporary difficulties do not mean the end of the ICO. Yes, now a large number of fraudulent bounty companies have been divorced, it's hard to say what this is all about, but I hope everything will return to its place

How could bounty die? I just started looking for another company. I think that these are temporary difficulties, among a large number of companies, it is difficult to determine which company scam and which one is not.

I think it's more correlate with not regulations and so many scams.

I think Ico's never die. Because everythime new projects will need the funds. But I think there will be a worldwide checking system for future ICOs for the security. I think the bounties will continue for at least 3-4 years. However, I think the bounty participants' earnings will continue to be low due to the high number of participants and the high calculation of their token prices.

I wouldn't tell that bounty dies. It think just other turns into something. Now there are projects which I collect the necessary sums for development and carry successfully out bounty. Just they became less than was earlier.

The bounty cannot die, bounty only disappears when the market no longer exists altcoins and ICO only. Recent ICO projects are not paying due to the low cryptocurrency rates and slowing down. The only way to wait until the recovery of the exchange rate.

Let's just put it this way, the market itself is behaving negatively and not the projects nor the bounties. There are no profit at times like this from investment and bounty projects because the outcome are negatively influenced with the downtrend. But once recovery starts, profit will be again earned and therefore, patience is a must for the investors and participants.

I think ICO will exist, just investors have now become more experienced  and now they choose campaigns more carefully, among a huge selection of projects, quality will play a major role.

this is indeed a bad year for cryptocurrency, because a lot of bounty or ICO fails but this is not the end of cryptocurrency, then in my opinion cryptocurrency will never die and how can you expect cryptocurrency to be legal and accepted by the government ? if you don't believe in cryptocurrency and say ICO will die.

For now I don't think ICO and bounty will die maybe after few decades or what year or what specific date when it happen. I hope the ICO who die or not run is the scam ICO so that no more people lose their money because of that.

I think that the bounty did not die and did not transform into anything else, this phenomenon is due to the fact that the market is at the bottom and because of the large number of fraudulent ICO investors simply stop investing.

We are looking on a day that we are going to be regulated where investors will get their funds back once an ICO was paused or failed and every bounty hunters will get their right amount of rewards and every ICO are legit and real and will reach even their soft cap.

We have two ICO that was fined by SEC on 250k USD.

It is a very difficult question, but I do not think that they are dying, because due to the market conditions, everyone is holding his funds and is waiting for the better market conditions. As soon as the market recovers, we will see a better picture.

Until there is a global change in this direction, we will not see growth. In November, fees fell to a record low of $ 65 million. When contracts with a refund guarantee appear, then there will be a demand.

It seems to me too early to talk about the fact that ICO and generosity are dying.  Yes, the situation is very sad now, and I think some projects are just trying to understand what course they should take!

I think bounty is not much benefit to the creators of ico, and I think it should go into something more useful, and ico certainly will not die

That's a whole lot of bounty you have tried in the past, I believe by now you should have made some good money from the bounty, and i think bounty followers the trending of the market, if the market is good, then bounty will thrive as well.

In my opinion, the ICO and the bounty campaign are not dead yet. It's just that the crypto currency condition is bad so many ICOs are late in making payments. They are not exact time on the road map because the market conditions are very volatile. But I am sure that the ICO and the bounty campaign will continue to exist as long as there are crypto currencies. You should continue to think positively because maybe you will still be paid but the time is uncertain. I also experienced the same thing as you, I haven't got paid from the bounty campaign that I was waiting for, even more than half a year. I am still patient and positive because if it is my fortune so it will not stay away from me.

In my own opinion, Bounty is not die maybe bitcoin is down too because of the current market price. It really affects some bounties and ICO in the community once the Bitcoin is down. There are also some bounties scam today thats why some bitcoin hunters hards to identfy it. Maybe in the future it improbes some feautres.

It is not die, the amount of ICO is only decreasing due the bad performance of many bad ICO's.
If there are less ICO project, then the number of available bounty campaigns will decreasing too.
When there are no many campaigns, you must choose the project wisely if you don't want to waste your efforts and time.

dont just join on any ico bounty that you see in the market, you need to sort them out like you are going to invest to them, because you do, you will invest your time to promote their ico. If you sort bounties, then you can be able to find those worth your time.

I hope ICO will not die because the government are forming rules and regulation about the ICO's. For bounties, we don't have any clarity because bounties are not compulsory because there are many projects out there without bounties reached their hard cap.

Ico and Bounty have not yet died, ico indeed this year there are a lot of traffic jams maybe because of the influence of unfavorable market conditions, hopefully in the future there will be improvements for ico so that it will run better than this year, and more investors will join in ico

The most affected area that cause all these panic is market which has drop like 80% since that ath in December , and many are in lost while some think we still have more dip to go before they start buying and accumulating for the next bull .

i don’t think that ICO and Bounty are die, in a bear market interest from new investors is falling, therefore, not all ICO can pay bounty to bounty hunters and, accordingly hunters also lose interest in participating in bounty compaign for free.

In my opinion the ICO and Bounty Project will not die, because Cryptocurrency is always open to the public, so the ICO is currently mostly failing because the current market mutation is very bad resulting in a lack of interest in Investors to buy the ICO Project. And so many projects that don't pay for Bounty participants.

I've do some bounties, that is indeed some of them are scam, but there are also a good project who paid the bounty participant with the reward that they deserved. So i think there are still a good project that held bounty campaign that are trusted.

I am surprised to know that you got nothing during a half year from various bounties. Can I know how many bounties you join in the last half year? Is it only signature campaign or many others? I think it is about how good you choose a bounty to join. Have you been more careful and selective to analyze bounties? Since there are many scam or fake bounties, we must be smarter to select them.  

We still see new ICO coming today, so i can say what they are not die.
I think real innovate ico project can change the game in this situation also

Bounty and also the ICO does not die. However, for some time later it results from the bounty and the ICO also become quite alarming. bad results caused the banya results from this field being reduced and even many who doubt this because it also scam that keeps many popping up.

from the conditions that I saw from ico and bounty campaigns in circulation, I felt that the ico enthusiasts had started to weaken and the bounty campaign was not dead, but there were so many scams and many who gave very little allocation.

Don't treat all project is the same. Some are intended to scam the community. Some are just in crypto to mislead the investors. Some are intended to give much better profit. Some are in the process to make its project great by its perfect exhibition in cryptosphere. ICO and bounties will not die, in fact it helps a lot specially the bounty hunters. I appreciated the real ICO and bounties. Thanks to them.

Not yet when many investor will keep invest their money at ICO investment project, so far all of ICO have success their ICO selling and could reached hard cap and it good for ICO investment at the future.

ICO and bounty hunting would not die but rather the downfall of the crypto market has made most projects decide not to list their tokens and so bounty hunters are not being rewarded. But i believe that as soon as the crpyto market rises ico projects are going to list their tokens for bounty hunters to get their rewards from selling their tokens.

Yes, I agree with you that cryptocurrencies will not appear too good in the coming year, so I think these may disappear in the next two years. Maybe we are all late, and they are very rich here.

I think ICO and bounty are dying. At least in the form in which they exist now and in current conditions. Investors, especially large ones, want safe conditions. High market volatility also plays a negative role. Perhaps ICO and bounty waiting for the transformation in the presence of certain conditions.

I am believe bounty still needed to spread the word about project. Cryptomarket still at early stage and bounty hunters needed to give knowledge about the project to others people thru social media or forum. I am believe ICOs or bounty still exist in next several years

Bounty is very popular among many people and is able to provide a large income. But in 2018 there were more fraudulent Bounty projects which led to the opinion that Bounty would die. I personally, with this opinion, I do not agree. I am sure that in 2019 there will be a very good development.

I think the selection of the project you are following is not right so that you do not receive the payment. There are still many successful bounties and still paying, please check more carefully if you want to follow it

for now we can say yes, mostly ico and their bounty program was a fake one, but im still hoping in the next year there is a regulator for ico and can reduce the fake one ico.

All depends on crypto market coins if in 2019 the price of coins can rise again. I think more projects will experience success. And I also don't think that Bounty will die because the crypto future is very good.

Maybe they will die maybe not or should i say they are transforming into something new and more techy than we can ever imagine but for the now i suggest for an upgrade in the system of ico and bounties the rate of scam projects is alarming

When the market is down and bleeding all the activities such as ICO is affected and the bounty hunters are also affected if those ICO will not able to collect enough funds for their project. Anyway this is just a little adjustment on us as soon the market returns to bullish we can be back to normal again.

You are right. Bounty will still exist. The declining rewards throughout 2018 are the effects of bitcoin prices and a poor market, bear market. For me bounty is still quite profitable, it's just that we have to be more grateful and patient, who knows 2019 the price will rise. Be patient.

I dont think it will happen,  because there are lots of people in the cryptocurrency group that keeps to support
these platforms since it provides a huge income from them which keeps sustain their finances.

I agree that the last six months, or even almost the entire last year is very bad for bounty hunters, as payments are small and too many fraudulent projects. I think that bounty companies in the next two years will not disappear, and soon there will be changes.

unfortunately in a falling market it is almost impossible to earn and I think that this is very bad as it is impossible to earn stable all this

maybe yes in few year again, because there are too much project and cryptocurrency created, more than 50% of the project are died before launch their product in public and developer from the project are leave after get the money from crowdfund

I don't think so. ICO and generosity will still exist for a long time, but perhaps they will undergo some changes and there will be fewer fraudulent projects on the market.

of course boutny and ico can die in sometimes, when investor are tired and never want invest again in ico, because many ico project price are down than price offered in ico time and make investor loss their money for investing in this project

They don't die as you say just that they continuously fade out of the system since the most at times lose it relevance to the people and the society at large.

Firstly, ICO and bounty are not two similar things. I mean to say that ICO is when one wants to start a project and he has now found this way to find the project. Bounties have existed long before ICO and have to do with many things other then ICO. I am ok with ICO not being so many because last year was insane. Bounties will still exist, if there are not so many it will not be a problem because the most ICOs did not pay.

I think that ICO will not die until new projects appear.
The only thing I would like for ICO to be uniform rules or laws that could protect ordinary investors from scammers.

All depends on how you check the project before start doing something. Secondly, many ICO's have KYC, other forms to fill in and giving short time notice to do that. It is not like a year before, if you filled in the Google form you are all done. Now you need truly fight for those tokens, which may cost absolutely nothing within a long period of time.

I think there should be a development on this bitcointalk. I hope that all fraud projects are get banned. In order to clean the thread from scam ico's that does not pay or does not pay according to the allocation prize in their project because although some projects are pating but in a very low cost.

In two years you'd participated in just a few bounties? You doesn't search about available bounty?
No pay because you didn't choose a fair campaign?

I'd participated on some bounty campaigns, and they'd paid well (ICONOMI, Wings, Starbase) and now I'm participating on CoinBundle (https://app.coinbundle.com/signup?ref=GbilASc06z9MvDBxOoBlc4iDCT3uw2odDfb157vwFMN3GHFGvr9JHCU0tfIjGDd7%2B%2BZh6JWGaICw%2FTDG68Y5Sku2Ch8h4QNka6BLCSOm4hs%3D) platform bounty.
CoinBundle is offering BNDL tokens instead of stakes, and 100 BNDL tokens for each of $10 bought on coin portfolios.
Hope you like this bounty campaign (and the investment platform), then tell me what do you think

ico and bounty will never die because I see there are still many investors who believe in ico and there are still many bounty hunters who keep coming every day
it's just that now there are so many ico and bounty scams, for that we have to be more careful before investing or joining bounty by doing a lot of research

Bounty and ICO will not die. This year it is more difficult to make a good profit because of the market decline but after recovery all bounty hunters will get a good profit from earned tokens.   

Change is one thing that is constant and this is technology and it evolves there might be a possibility that it may change but still we are not sure but if it does then w should be prepared to adjust with it

It's not dying. I think it's connected to the bad situation on crypto market, that's it.
People are on pause now and waiting for better days to come. I don't think there are many investments now and that's why it affects market so bad.

So far, everything has fallen along with the cryptocurrency market. In addition, a high level of fraud in ICO projects has a large negative impact, as well as, I believe, the introduction of KYC checks by many ICO teams. This led to the fact that the activity of investors has fallen very much, and many bounty hunters have also given up on this activity, since this has become no longer justify the time spent.
However, as soon as the situation on the cryptocurrency market changes for the better, I think that interest in ICO projects will also resume. We need to expect better times.

ICO still postpones their ico dates.
Market at bad condition, but no other different schemes we have to promote new projects and crowdfund

The crypto market becomes bad, a lot of ICOS campaign are difficult. But when the market recovers, the campaign will return. therefore, ICOS campaigns are becoming temporarily difficult.

The ico and the bounty still leaves on. I am afraid most of the bounty that you have join are the scam ones. Some bounties are still legit and their project are legit. But you must use time to find those.

This year I think the ico can be considered dead, few of the projects collected large funds for the implementation , I think next year when the bullish trend begins, we can see the influx of money to the ico

The last payout I personally recived was around september , it was a decent one also.
For the rest, it is just rational that the bounty payouts are either very small or non exsitent. The bounty market will never be so huge as it was  year ago.

Off course yes, if an ICO come out without a good potential, such ICO will be dead, and if such ICO have a bounty campaign, that Bounty is already dead too.

Now very little comes with bounty payments , my last payment came in in October , I wasn't getting paid , and that all payments that were received this year, were little (

I don't think that they will disappear completely. If governments begin to regulate, the most promising projects will live. And there won't be as much scam as it is now.

Well, only there will be several projects for the season and I think that KYC will be for all projects, so there are a lot of advantages, the main thing is that the number of people is limited.

No it will not die , ICO projects are always part of cryptocurrency and bounty are still launching many new projects , these two will go together ,after the new bounty is launched and promoted ,it will be followed by the ICO crownd sell of the bounty tokens for that said projects, it will still part of cryptocurrency and I think it will survive and will not vanish in the cryptocurrency.

This year is not good enough for the bounty. The 50% more bounties that I participated in throughout 2018 have not shown good development, even some have not yet been listing the market, rewards have not been distributed, even if there are listings in the market the price is destroyed. But I persist, this is indeed a saturated market effect, if the market rises again then prices will definitely improve.

I would say, ico and bounty are practically on-hold. When the market will become healthy again, new money will come again to the market and the people will start investing again because it is a great possibility to get reach very fast.

Of course, someday we will all die, as everyone dies in this world. Technologies become obsolete, old business processes are replaced by new ones.
This is good, life does not stand still, the power in development.

That amount is very high and if it is true, it means you have gone far in crypto. Then if that is the case, you should be able to identify scam from non-scam.
ICO will not die, but what i envisage is that, very soon, there will be more of STO than ICO, because so investors might want what is regulated.
Despite this, bounty will still exist.

Yes, this is a kind of cycle. After a good movement in 2017, there was a decline in 2018. This is a process, we must understand it. If you are strong with insignificant rewards, stick with the belief that there will be good developments if the market rises.

there is a good reason for this. Almost all projects postpone their sale for several months. In this regard, those people who are involved in projects Bounty. Don't get your coins, but I'm sure many good projects will pay, you just need a wait.

so, now the bounty related to ICO, or anything related to ICO, is no longer worth it as an investment model, I just know, that the majority of the project team cannot provide what is expected by investors, so the price of coins never improves when product release
I better invest in coins with Proof Of Stake orientation, to be able to get steady income

It won't gonna die because as long as there are people who has the opportunity to discuss and creat their own currency more ICO's and bounty campaigns will still be able to launched their currency. And I think all of us have the same purpose to be more helpful in our economy and community to develop things.

this is an effort from the ico team to protect the token exchange rate that will be distributed to the hunters when the market is currently falling. surely the ico team also thinks the same, namely waiting for the bull run to start distribution and launching to the exchanger. surely everything will be fine.

The number of bounty you've just joined is way too much, and I think you earn too much from it. But I do really believe it is very difficult to earn now in bounties as the market is also suffering, I hope the problem will be fixed soon or maybe improve the bounty.

the market condition is currently not good and it affects the development of the ICO and the bounty, many bounties are not going well and even the ICO is not successful, but if the market has recovered then the ICO and bounty will definitely be good again

Bounty is here to stay ,for a long time I guess but ICO issue is very alarming ,the question that bothers my mind is why bother launching ICO when you already know that we are in bad market time? Why can't they just wait it out and start as soon the market price recovers?

do you know if there is no payment from the project to the bounty hunter? That is because the target collected by the project team is not achieved and the price of the coin does not match the price on the market because the current market conditions are declining. actually there are still many other causes.

oh of course not, bounty will never die on Bitcointalk because without bounty, Bitcointalk it won't mean anything. :)

Bounty will definitely die over a period of time.infact you can see that the amount of ico's offering bounty has reduced over the last year. as far as ico are concerned let's hope they exist for the sake of decentralization

most of the time ICO does not reach their softcap, but what happens to those ICO that reach the softcap or the hardcap but in the end they dont pay the partipants or even they pay but the payment is not reasonable because they will give a lower percentage to the participants.

this is the best medium for bounty campaign so it will not die as long as there is an innovation and ideas it will exist.

You are saying the right think and i am completely agree with you on this. The ICO's age finished i believe.. I mean the people scaring to invest in ICO's nowadays. In 2018 %70 ICO's turned scam some how and this would shows the problems. And also the bounty hunting business came to over too. In 2016 when i started to bounty hunting there are too few people were working. For ex. in one twitter bounty campaign you could see at most 100 workers, now in any bounty you can see +5000 account. So everyone learned bounty hunting and the profits arrives to 0..

In bear seasons, I joined 20-30 projects and will wait to come tokens or ethereum but I got just two tokens. Bounties and ICOs are not die but More people know these bounties and Cryptocurrency's prices are too low nowadays. These two things affect ICOs and Bounties. Cryptocurrency affect ICOs and ICOs affect bounties.

I don't feel that the ICO and the bounty are dead. in fact, there are still many ICOs at the moment, and many are still successful. however, there are many reasons that prevent it, from the unstable market, to the internal problems that exist within the team. well, this year there are still a number of successful ICOs.

Bounties and ico still going on, but raising funds very hard and income from bounty very little.
They waiting market returning, but its never back to the 2017 point when everybody invest without thinking about risks

I think that ICO and bounty will not be die. ICO may be inplemented in the other form, safer and more certain for investors and Bounty will also continue to be one kind of marketing that projects use

I think ICO's won't die and If ICO's still available so do bounty campaign. Bounty campaign exist if ICO's still remains available. I am sure ICO's and bounty won't die.

Will not die, but the quality and quantity will decline, the future bounty hunter will be unemployed, only a few users will stick to it, this is the normal direction of development, do not have to panic. Future transactions are more suitable for investors.

For bounty campaign, it seems that it will still be there for years, except that I am sure that the allocation will decrease or increase, while for ICO it depends on the development of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.

300 ?
That's just crazy ! What a waste of time since I guess you got paid peanuts for this.
Most ICOs were scams or shitty projects and 2018 has been a good year to get rid of them.
I stopped doing bounties because of this. Let's hope 2019 is more selective with projects.

Bounty's cannot die as they are the source of Advertisement which promotes the new projects and gets investors. Ya but the concept of ICO may change, just like before in starting their was no ICO only their was coin sales and bounty promotion. and then ICO concept came and same way another way of investment option will popup and ICO concept may change.

Well I have come to understand the need of promotions together with awareness in the Cryptocurrency Space. So it will be difficult to completely write Bounty out, take a good look at it that even in 2018 bear market many were still able to promote different Cryptocurrency project in the space. So I believe there's more than this as Bounty is a continuous process...

I don't think ICO and bounty will die but the reward from the bounty will get smaller over time and also the quality of ICO will decrease, it will scared many investors to invest in the ICO.
but I hope that doesn't happen and I hope that by 2019 ICO will be better than now.

I don't now if that is just a type, but 300 bounties is a hell of a job, you might make money but it's very risky for your help.
Man, there are a lot of opportunities here in crypto but we cannot be greedy, let's take some time to have some fun so we will not be frustrated if something bad will happen to the market.

Rewards from the bounty in 2018 are very small compared to the previous year. Many Ico projects failed to develop prices after listing. The effect of the bear market is very bad. I chose to stay and keep joining a number of bounties even though they were not as intensive as last year.

Bounties does die like ICO`s because too many scammers have divorced, which is why it happens, but there are still honest companies that collect hardcaps and even softcaps and pay tokens to bounty hunters, but these companies getting smaller.

Yes the bounties are hard to find now a days because the prices of cryotos were too low so no one will pay is from their pocket,we may see the bounties profitable again when we can see the bull run started.

yes, we can see now that more and more projects are really good and pay for every bounty hunter. but I think ico or the bounty campaign will remain, and not die, because they are both a form of world crypto development.

ICO and bounty are not dead yet, only just the profit gained has reduced a lot when compared to the previous year. Even most only get a loss. But I think this is a natural thing, considering the price of bitcoin has also dropped almost 80% from the new ATH. Even so, it does not mean there is no chance anymore to get money from bounty campaigns. Because we don't know what will happen in the next year, so it's better to continue working to get more tokens.

Never, Never & Never. I think this topic has does not matter.

It seems that most of the unscrupulous companies, against the background of the collapse of the crypto market, decided to free themselves from the obligations to the bounty hunters!

there is no easy money, we work day and night even every day as a bounty hunter who is not clear with the payment, this is the risk in every job. this is life with no money coming quickly apart from committing fraud, I hope you remain passionate for a bounty hunter  ;)

Indeed, the situation with bounty campaigns looks disappointing, and I am not sure that we will again receive a decent reward for participating in them. Perhaps the rules of the bounty campaigns will indeed change, I am worried that they should not be stopped at all and that they are allocated funds.

Wow that's a huge number, you mean among three hundred you participated in no one pays you, that is too much I would have quit if I have that number, and if many people can prove that you cannot receive a bounty from ICO anymore then it's over for bounty hunters.

My opinion ICO and bounty grow into something new! I think after the legalization of cryptocurrency, but it is not far off, we will see the results of the transformation of the organization of the cryptocurrency market and marketing!

Its impossible you have no payment from 200 more bounties, maybe you put a wrong adress to join a bounty campaign or you have phissed but I hope not, the bounty its still exists but sometimes they pay so cheap to hunters

I can tell it happens to a lot of bounty hunters. But you should just keep participating in the bounty campaigns, it's a difficult period. But it is always nice when time passes and you get tokens that acquire their value. It's been a tough year for everyone in the cryptocurrency market.

Nowadays it's a normal thing in Cryptocurrency space to see projects already trading doing Post ico bounty.
So I think even if Ico die today , bounty campaign will not die .
Bounty will exist as far as Cryptocurrency exists.
Market generally is instable and this could be attributed to why hunters seem not to be making reasonable Money from bounties.

Today there are a lot of ICO and a lot of work for bounty hunters, the only thing that died is the payment for the work of bounty hunters. Summer and autumn I worked completely free.

I don’t think so that ICO & Bounties are going to die, at the moment market is very bearish so investors are scared & don’t want to take risk to invest in ICO’S.

But it’s not permanent after the stability of bitcoin price & market, investor will come back & again we will see ICO & Bounties will re bounce.

I think ICO and Baunty will never die between Bitcoin still exist, it's just that Bounty and ICO today still look stiff and seem to be waiting for the right time for distribution or going to the market, that causes many people to hesitate. but in my opinion all of that is a common thing.

Bounty is the engine of any project, so developers are interested in bounty hunters. As for the lack of payments, now there is a tendency of continuous growth. Projects either cheat or do not rely on their strengths and are blown away, leaving the bounty hunters with nothing.

Yes, there is such a tendency on this market. Do you realise that market is dropping and bounties aren't too good to be well payed?

I am into 3 that haven't paid yet because we are still waiting for the token to get listed to exchanges this is one of the condition, and some of the bounties I'm in is either paused or failed, not really good this year you are right you can participate in as many bounties as you like and you are lucky if half of it pays you or succeed

yes, we can see that happening. even most people here really feel it all. unclear ico and bounty that doesn't pay. but I'm sure they still believe this will soon pass. where when the market grows again, ico and bounty will also rise again.

I think we need a spark in the form of market growth in order to start launching the promising ICO again!

Bounties are a really great way to increase brand awareness and increase the preliminary amount of token holders. Bounties will never die, they're just not as active right now because of the markt situation.

I don't think the bounty and ico are dead, it's just that the pulse is weak because the market conditions in the last few months are also bad. a few months later if the market has recovered I think the bounty and ico will return to normal

You're right now there are a lot of developers who are unprofessional and don't pay on time, and there are also some teams that even reduce our salary. I have been to get tired of promoting ICO because the team like them is not suitable to be a dev of a project.

I think bounty hunting is changing and there will be improvement in a way bounty is been conducted and organized. Bounty is a tool that help a lots of cryptocurrency  start up survive and making it work is in everybody's interest!

I think bounty is still as it is the managers are the ones putting bounty hunters in some kind of stress by not giving them as promising but as long as crypto still lives we all have nothing left to be worried about of bounty or ico dieing

Are they alive right now?

It seems near all bounties worth nothing and most of the icos getting no money at all.

I think it is dying. something else will replace and we should wait for a new capital mobilization program. I believe that there will be a better program than ICO, which will have the best protection for those who work with the project.

I am also worried about this topic. Coins are either not listed on the stock exchange, or are not paid at all. But I think that these are temporary difficulties due to the difficult situation on the cryptocurrency market.

everyone has their own perception about how many bounties and ICO will continue or not.
but for me bounty and ICO will always be there because not all projects end with scams there are also good projects that will continue to run along with the development of crypto, all we need is to do deeper research before entering into the bounty we follow.

In my opinion, this is temporary and ICO not dying, but it's true that today indeed sometimes better not to invest in ICOs.

Back three years ago ICO are paying Bitcoin to attract more people to promote their ICO, this is indeed very sad you are working hard and there's no guaranty that you will get paid at all, better report these bounty managers who are doing this.

- Indeed, because the market has shown signs of collapse in recent months, many investors have been afraid and do not want to participate in ico when projects are almost impossible to succeed but we should remember that everything is derived from the price of bitcoin weakening. After the price of bitcoin recovers and rises again, ico will also return to its golden age, it will never die unless this market disappears, bounty is similar when it survives based on ico but the regulations on bounty will become more difficult when too many people cheat

now the condition is almost all. many bounty hunters really have no guarantee they will be paid. the bounty manager won't interfere with payment issues. because the bounty reward business is usually direct with the team. this makes no guarantee of payment.

In my opinion, in the current phase of the shift to electronic monies, it is not about how much your stacks are worth in near-worthless fiats, it's all about the amount and sizes of your stacks relative to the lifetime max supply built into the math of the particular cryptocurrencies you own.  The bulk of the value derived from fiat currently is strictly based on human confidence -- right now too many people refuse to believe our controllers have used and abused the money system to the point the whole of society is in trouble.  It's a 'scared to death' type of thing on both sides that know what's going on.

Cryptos do not have the inherent problems that centralized fiat currencies do in relationship to the amounts available for use.  When the shift begins to occur, one of the first things folks will catch onto is the relative scarcity of these electronic commodities compared to dollar bills for example.  Prices will respond accordingly.

Be prepared. Obtain and hold for a while.  Get your tickets to the lottery for the ages.

Nothing died, just got very scammy. However, i know some people that were able to get very nice campaigns and good profits, even on the falling market. We just dont know how to search:)

Well i think ICO and bounty is not dead yet. Maybe it because the current market condition and high number of scam projects. It just temporary and i hope it can be recover as soon as possible. There is few people get a big reward from bounties this year. Maybe we just dont have a luck.

no, bounty and ico don't die. bounty and ico were just sluggish because of the many scams and failed projects, plus the market conditions in the past few months were very unsupportive.with the recovery of the market in my opinion bounty and ico will also recover. let's wait until that happens next year

maybe yes, I see a lot of ico and bounties that fail. many even have problems such as Scams or not even paying bounty hunters. for those who have just joined the bounty campaign, they might think the bounty is no longer profitable.

No they won't, because it is happening only because of such market conditions. As soon as the market recovers, bounties will start a new trend and you would be able to get great rewards from bounties and ICO projects.

That's right, there are always periods of growth and decline, it is clear that now there is a prolonged period of decline, but it will not be eternal and when growth begins, earnings will return to the previous level

This depend on the project you find yourself doing. If you continue to participate in scam projects or  projects that are not well planned, then you might find yourself not getting anything after you might have worked.
This sometimes can be frustrating, but in order to avoid that, you must then research every project you intend to promote, so that you do not work in vain and at the end not get paid

ICO and the bounty are a reflection of the market as a whole
If the market reverts to the upside, they will reactivate each other
bounty will be rewarding and well-paid.

If you take part in 300 bounties from last 2 years and only few will send tokens then that doesn't mean bounties are die. It show that you choose mostly scam bounties which failed to reach there goal. But also this is not your fault, in last 2 years, scammers are increased in huge range. And that effect ICO's. If ICO's fail, then directly bounties also fail.

I think that ICO such as we know them will surely die in the future.
ICOs will be created with regulation to protect investors from scammers. This can be called not death but evolution.

Is it possible to participate on more than 300 bounties within two years knowing that most of the project lasts for a month? But going back to the main topic, there are rumors that ico projects will die next year and it will also include bounty campaigns. Still, there's no need to panic yet because that is not a fact, still. be patient for now and continue holding.

I think it is rather a transformation into something else. So far, ICO continues to appear and they need to conduct a bounty company in order to attract new investors or to promote their project. But the bounty rules need to be tightened so that they bring more benefit.

t is beneficial for regulators and Bitcoin whales to make ICO lose popularity. Regulators will find it easier to regulate cryptocurrencies and whales will get more investment in Bitcoin if there is less ICO.

I also incorporated in many of the bounties this year but the results were disappointing. no results to be proud of even many of which cannot yet be sold because there is no word when it will go on the market. will take time and a long process of this and die I think not.

I think ICO and bounty have already died. Don't you see it? Market capitalisation is smaller and collections are too low!

Recently, bounty remain unclaimed in the community of the crypto industry. Because for a long time we have to wait for the bounty hunter payments. Sometimes the projects are a scam. And then you should forget about any reward. In the future, the bounty program will evolve or disappear. Because there are a lot of blockchain projects that are ready to provide these services.

I don't think that the ICO's will disappear completely. There will be reliable teams with interesting projects.

Progress affects the blockchain. The more perfect the blockchain is and its capabilities, the more simplified the mechanism of the bounty program will be. Bounty program may disappear because in the future it will not be needed.

The ICO market is declining because it has been overvalued. Accordingly, the bounty is directly dependent on the ICO and they also suffer decline. If the market does not recover, the era of bounty will end.

In 2 years you can participate in 300 Bounty projects, and that's a very large number in my opinion. I haven't been to the Bounty project for only 3 to 5 projects that I can follow. And some of these projects can provide valuable tokens. And it all depends on the potential of the Bounty project that you are following.

you are not alone. many people experience things like you, one of them is me. of the hundreds of projects that I participated in, there were only a few who gave my rights as a bounty hunter. maybe the mistake was with me, because I couldn't choose a good project. this is indeed very difficult, because many projects are predicted to be good, but it turns out to be a scam.

I don't think that bounties will die, they are some paying, but low reward were given because of the bad market, just pick an ICO that has a good project then join their bounty if you found one.

in my opinion ico will continue to exist, but it seems that it will not involve many bounty participants like ico before, I think bounty only gives a less significant effect to investors

I think you should be more selective of the bounty campaigns that you join. Research or check carefully details and feasibility of the project to have at least a big probability that you will be paid. Check also the team running and managing the project as they will also give you an idea if the project is legitimate or not. good luck

for ico each year it changes more and more, for bounties it almost dies because there are so many bounties that pay long participants and lock the participants tokens for a fairly long period of time

I know people who have made 500 videos and more than 1000 articles, They've paid $5-7 to people and lost anyway because projects don't pay or pay very little. Bounty is useless now!

They are not going to die, not yet at least, they are still very much needed from now on as long as there are new projects coming out they are going to need some way to actually raise money for their projects and then to actually market the coins in the long run. So even though they are going to die out one day, that day is not here yet

If you actually participated in 300 bounties in the last 2 years, you must already be a cryptomillionaire, and you shouldn't complain about the few projects that didn't pay you. I believe bounties will survive forever, but ICOs may die.

Oh really? How did you participate in 300 bounty campaigns? Do you have so much time or you are using some softwares?
And bounties will surely not die, maybe there will be the reduction of numbers.

Of course now a lot of generosity little popular , and I think in the future generosity will be very much to filter and we get rid of spam

No, it won't. The slump of 2018 would only filter the list.of ICOs leaving the shit projects in the mud. There will be ICOs in 2019 but expect lesser scammers. Bounty campaigns will stilm be there as well.

ICO and Bounty projects don't die. I think of the number of gifts that you follow and don't give gifts to you because of the impact of lower market prices. In 2018 we learned that the crypto-coin market was slowly collapsing so many ICO projects failed and the value was very low.

I think yes, but only for a while. If we pay attention when the crypto market is crazy in 2017 there are many ICO projects popping up and so are bounties, but when the crypto market slumps we can see fewer ICO projects being released in 2018, perhaps because of the weakness of investors looking at the market situation cryptocurrency is down. I'm sure the ICO project will be back when we see good growth in the cryptocurrency market someday.

Slowly collapsing is like saying it's not gonna survive.
I have a better term for that, I use correction because it's a positive way of describing what happens now.
This way, it still shows a positive attitude of the people who trust in crypto, don't worry about ICO, it will again become popular.

I don't think they will die but even if the current ICO model dies, there will be a new concept in the industry that will also need the service of bounty hunters for its promotion. We should be at rest, am very certain that there will always be something that will fetch us coins in this industry outside trading and investment

ICO activity does not die. It is going through difficult times now - a long fall in the cryptocurrency market and a period of protracted stagnation. As a result, a fall in investor activity, an extension of the ICO, or even their assignment of activities. A large number of fraudsters among ICO projects plays a big negative role in this. This problem, in my opinion, can be effectively solved only by government regulation. The third problem in ICO concerns the difficulty for ICO teams to participate in ICO bounty campaigns. Joining the bounty has become much more difficult, it is increasingly necessary to register on various sites, to perform other unnecessary actions for bounty hunters, and the reward for participation is less and less in our wallets. New ace tokens are more often listed immediately on the stock exchanges, the sites of the ICO teams, this is all accompanied by additional difficulties. For me, this is inconvenient and not very pleasant. I personally prefer the ICO team to immediately send the tokens I have earned to my wallet.

Ico projects will not disappear, just their number will decrease and only strong and interesting projects will remain which people will follow

I don't think bounty and ICO will die, it's just that the ICO and the bounty are not as good and as good as in the past 2016, because of the poor market, so the ICO and the bounty are also bad.

You took part in more than 3 hundred bounties in two year? it is incredible bro. Bounty and icos do not die for now, new regulations will begin to apply and they will become more legal.

No way. The ICO and the bounty will not die even if btc crash. Just look on the announcement board and the bounties board, there are so many new projects and new bounties.

Our bounty campaigns are in bad shape. Projects say they will list on some exchanges in November but they didn't do it. They blocked our chat and we couldn't do anything else. Amazix team also deceived us, we do not know which team to believe

If the fraud rate of the ICO project continues to increase, the ICO market may face death because no investor is willing to pay for the scam.

Only if there remains something to which it will be possible to use this regulation. If the ICO market dies - the bounty will die with it, otherwise it can not be. I hope that all the same the market will recover and we will see a new wave of bounty.

ICO's have turned into a huge risk for investors, not only the risk of the bear market, but also the risk of scam and failed projects due to incompetence...
Hunters receive no assurances, they work first and get paid later, they are the first to be scammed on changing conditions (at the end), even if the ICO succeeds...
Project managers are also right because most hunters do a poor quality work and the lists are infested with multi accounts and bots...
there are 2 ways: everyone gets serious, investors get smarter and the ICO market will continue, or it is the end my friend....

I think that the bounty and ICO projects always live together. If the ICO market is still in trouble next year, then the bounty activity may also face difficulties.

   So far ico's is not good in 2018 but not at all but it is because many of them are scammers projects they are run away after selling their token or half of their campaign
    Hoping this coming 2019 will be erase the scammers that will be slowly kill the system.

I am fully convinced that this market will continue to exist and develop in the coming years. Yes, due to the general fall in the crypto market, its development has slowed down lately. But even now, promising projects regularly appear in which investors are interested.

Just like cryptos , many people do consider that bounty and ico have died because they are not profitable anymore and most of them nowadays are just fraud but their death can only be temporary because as soon as crypto recovers from a market crash , im pretty sure that the ico and bounties can also follow  . lets hope that 2019 ( this year ) will be a good year for their comeback   .

You just have to believe in the saying that " comeback is real " 

I think that it is very premature to say that bounty can die completely, but still there is a very strong decline in activity among people, much fewer people participate in projects now than before, but, it seems to me that soon everything can be restored to the level which it was in early 2017.

I hope for everything there is no guarantee in this world, we need to keep working as long as the bounty is there. Maybe in future, the situation might be very tight for bounties once the government starts legalising the ICO's. The only choice we have is to pray bounties should stay even though there is regulation.

Many people may think they won't die.But I have different opinions.Maybe they will disappear in the future.Because nobody knows what will happen in the future.

Too many and unnecessary ICO projects are being produced, up to 90% of them have to die. Successful projects will survive

With the new regulation, the bounty procedure will surely increase its demand but there is no possibility of allocating higher percentages to the bounty. Still, bounties will survive in the market even though we see some regulation for it.

We already know that mostly ICO are scam by using the bounty hunters to promote their project after they reached the cap it's the time for them to ditch. ICO and bounty programs will never die until they suck your money, it's a decentralised on the internet, you know what I mean.

Successful and legit projects survive.

There are crap projects that even survived too. SEC is getting an eye to ICOs but I cant find that article anymore.

Wow 300!
I don't know how you could manage all that , but I think that is a huge number means almost 1 bounty in every 3 days , May be that is the reason of making you thinking like that , I think still there are some good bounties , just need to look more carefully.

I think a new structure needs to be in place to protect bounty hunter and also project because one can't go through all that hustle and don't get paid

for me if it will die that means ICO we look for other means to build its community also if STO becomes the future then i guess there wont be need for bounty because company structures will have to change

It's a lot of bounties, 300 for two years. If we'll compute it is 150 per year and per month you have 12 bounties. It's sad to see that many of those didn't pay you OP and you're not the very one that experienced it. ICOs are slowly dying but there are still more ICOs that are very interesting to invest with and can't be stop from executing and growing. With the bounties, they will be here as long as there will be projects out there that wanted to be exposed in the forum.

Blockchain technology is increasingly in demand, and some real products are growing to support the use of blockchain technology in various aspects of life.
ico will not die and will stay alive, the current situation is not a sign that ico will die, only requires time and market response.

Yes use of blockchain is interesting but it is a stand alone technology that can keep on running even without cryptocurrencies, ICOs or bounties. I understand your sentiment that ICO won't die as of the moment but its going there and chance of being dead soon is high. Don't think of it that it will stay forever, people are also learning from the bad experiences in the market. You will never know on what will be the next trend for  this year but blockchain can survive even without ICOs.

Despite all the problems of the ICO market, this trend continues to grow steadily today. After all, even now it can be argued that new useful projects and technologies regularly appear, investors continue to work, become more intelligent and demanding to select projects.

Soon we can see many big exchanges are launching their own blockchain which we can see some legit project into the market in this year. So it ICO's will continue to be done under some guidelines and regulation which help them to launch the bounties. I hope as long as ICO's continues there is demand for the bounties.

Bounty will still exist but the payment is not always. The bounties will get less in numbers and that  make us bounty hunters losing much more percentage of getting the rewards in the end because in my opinion, the best projects has already launched their ICos in 2017.

12 bounties per month is too much and i cant really imagine how the person can hadle it . as far as i know you can only join 1 main bounty but some dont require an avatar so you can still join an avatar campaign  .  others left would be translation , social media , and others  but still  12 bounties are already overkill not to mention the potential risk that you can get because not all ico's do pay .

ICO and Bounty campaigns are still alive, but this industry is actually suffering, because the number of investors decreased since the market is red and the prices are going down. Also, the hunters aren't as much as 2017 for example, since there is actually a lot of scam ICOs.

I realize that blockchain doesn't need ICO. at least bitcoin is increasingly popular with real blockchain-based products. ICO helps introduce real products to society in various countries. I also do not believe that the bounty is an important part of the ICO.
but not forever, I will prepare it.

it does not need an ICO because it's the technology we are using now, some project have different blockchain
and these projects are going to conduct an ICO if they cannot finance their ideas.
That's the difference between blockchain and project or we call it coins or tokens.

I personally don’t think ICOs and bounties will die. In fact, they are here to stay because they not only benefit project owners, but also offer exciting benefits to their participants. :)

Teams who do bounty campaign usually don't have money for real marketing campaigns (promoting)..

it's true that at the end of this year there were so many ico who didn't reach the softcap and many bounties that were extended there were also scams, but in my opinion ico and bounty remained as long as bitcoin and altcoin were still in the market.

yes they dont have money but they have thier own coins  . that will be the medium that they will use to start thier bounty campaigns but if they want real promotions such as buying forum ads then they should atleast have some cryptos because the admin of the forum will only accept btc payments .


at the end of this year ? how can you predicted that many ico will fail ? the market is already recovering and i think that the ico can also recover  .


no matter how many scam and fake ico's will pop but as long as there are still cryptocurrency bounty and ico will also remain  .

Bounty cannot just die like that since there will always be an ico for new project I believe that the fact that lots of bounties are not paying is due to the bear season that is being around, so bounties and ico cannot die

If ICO's could not manage to reach their soft cap then definitely they won't pay the coin to the bounty people. Some companies after raising the money they will cheat both the bounty and investors and that's why we have to choose them wisely before participating in any bounty campaign.

ICO programs and bounty programs are still there while altcoin and bitcoin are still there, they are still running, but not as busy as 2017 now ico often leads to fraud that makes investors lose money

Bounty is not dead, but some people have seen a sign that the bounty is not a promising job.
When ICO is not an option and now the IEO is ICO's main rival. and the IEO does not require a bounty.
We are wondering whether ICO will last, I hope the ICO will last longer.

Adaptation is kept increasing which the demand for blockchain is kept increasing and we are seeing many good products are being developed which helps the community to get more exposure to the blockchain. Recently we are seeing very good improvements in terms of blockchain developments and these will keep increasing in the coming days which we are going to get more exposure to the blockchain.

I continue to believe in the real benefits and the huge potential of the modern ICO market in the future. Personally, I am convinced that in the coming years bounty and ICO will not die for sure, they will bring real benefits for the market of crypto and digital society. Investors just need to be smarter and more careful when choosing ICO.

We can judge if they will die if the market is again bullish, if they will recover then people are wrong that ICO is dead.

There are major improve in the market, maybe IEO is popular now but a certain coin have the same chance when they are listed in exchange.
What the ICO needs to pay the bounty hunters in bitcoin or ETH so the tokens will not be dump, doing that also will let investors that the team have risk their money and serious in developing the project.

Don't worry, regulation will soon make this market better, be patient and keep participating on legit ICO.

Ive earned more than 5000$ on the  bounties ive participated last 2017 -2018,  but since the start of 4th quarter of 2018 until now i havent made any $ maybe its due to bear market, but i have a strong feeling that bounty hunters will be happy this year.

I do not think that ICO and bounty will die in the near future. Today it is a really useful and promising market that continues to grow steadily. Therefore, I also regularly invest part of my money in promising ICOs, some of which are able to grow and generate income, despite the problems of the market.

You still about airdrop ask ;D. Now, on the contrary, it is surprising if the payment came from the bounty. Than what did not come ::)

Yes, last year we have seen many projects failed to raise money and at last, they have scammed the bounty people too. So sometimes we have to face the upwards situation and downward situation in the market, so nobody don't have any clue in the market whether ICO's and bounties will be alive or not.

those types of bounties that you mention will die for sure... you should choose less bounties and take the time to check out the projects and improve the quality of your work.
one thing is certain, most good projects have already seen that the majority of bounty hunters has little to no effect in promotion, mainly because they do a bunch of projects at the same time and the quality of their work is very poor... so I expect that things will become more difficult ...

If the ico will die , the bounties will also die because both of them are connected to each other but so far the ico is still alive and kicking so as the bounties however only few of them are going to become succesful  because most of the ico's arent really promising in which they cant attract alot of potential investors resulting for them to become failed . if the trend continues like this , sooner or later the ico and bounties will die 

there must be guarantees for investors, I doubt if this situation continues.
some ico failed and ended scam. investor confidence is lost and this causes ico's growth to lose to the IEO.
I'm not sure Bounty and ico will continue to exist.

Nothing has changed, this year ico lost confidence and got a tough competitor. The IEO has taken over investor confidence. they are more interested in IEO than ico.

That's very impossible for me. Because since i join here i earn money for my 1st bounty that gives me a huge amount of profit. But since now im looking forward to finds a good bounty camapaigns to join. Later on my past bounty bounties i join a earn lot of tokens also but not tradable and not list on exchanges.

Because of lot of scam incidents ICO trend gone. I can remember earlier 2017-2018 how many ICO launched, where most of turn out scam so investors and bounty hunters lost their money and time. Right now IDO thing works out really well, cause their are some security measures exist. Following trusted IDO platform you can turn your investment 2x, 3x easily!

Bounty is not die yet but it is still worthful. There are still some good bounties that are paying the Hunters.  Every day some members are joining the forum who will only do bounty.  But we have to find a good bounty first. The following list contains some good quality bounty links https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228203.0

Worthful? no its not because basing off on how many shady projects as of this moment then i would say that most likely you would really be likely ending up on getting scammed or not being paid or simply
you had just wasted your precious time and resources on joining these campaigns.

This isnt something comparable into those golden days of ICO which is in between in year of 2017 and 2018 where everything is really been hyped up.

Dont ask on when it would die because as long those coin makers sill existing they would really be continuing to make one.

Cant disagree with this and if you do tend to visit out this board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 which is the bounty section then you would really find out that every now and then there is really
a new project that do pop out like mushroom which do offer big allocations on marketing or in part of their token allocation which it might really be a good trigger for those bounty hunters out there believing that they could make big profit or money in the end of the campaign without even realizing that those tokens to be earned are zero in value.Its not an assurance that those coins would really be getting some price soon until they do realize
that they've been holding some shitcoins on to their bags.

That's a milestone for you congrats, its just unfortunate that some projects didn't pay bounty hunters and as I know it this was because there was a price crash during this time which made many projects to stop or abandon their projects has the required finances were not raised and time was not on their side to calm people down to wait for price to recover to continue with their plans.

I think bounties we have today are better than what was there then, though reward might have reduced, they are still better.

we all are living in the hope of better days, maybe bounty projects will be shining. Why are so many scam projects? Present circumstance not as friendly, so we should more careful before taking part any campaign. If you can't see good projects or campaign like ending without paying there no need to panic. Just gota be patient.

Just be patient and look for another opportunity, when they don't pay, they don't pay, that's it.

With the number of scammers now in the space, you are lucky if you get paid but once you are paid, you'll certainly enjoy the reward as your hard work is paid off. Bounty hunting nowadays is not as profitable as in the past, but you can still make money if you continue to work and learn from your mistakes.
