Bitcoin Forum

Lately there have been many who argue about bounty participants, some argue that the more bounty participants the better the new project will be. and there are also those who argue that bounty participants must be limited so they can avoid the number of dumper when a project is completed.

I have questions
1. How influential is this bounty participant for a new project?
2. If the bounty participant is restricted what will affect the success of a new project?

Yes, bounty hunters can greatly influence the new ico project. On the one hand, it’s good that there are a lot of participants and there will be strong marketing, but even that can scare some away. But there should be at least some restriction, because at the end of the bounty there can be very small payments and many will simply not be satisfied. There, the bounty manager must find a middle ground for everyone to win.

Bounty participants are important to project since participants plays important role in dissiminating about the campaign. Like for example in twitter , in facebook, in youtube and of course here in BCT. Investors may attract the post so they may participate.
Many / too much participants is not good since some accounts have only owner, the shared stakes are too small even though the allocation is big simce too many participants will be dividing in it, the manager can't handle it so very well, some are shit participants and not doing anything good.

1. I'm pretty sure that the bounty participant has a great amount of role, especially when spreading the news about the project. What other tools can be used to spread the word about crypto if it's not the social media?
2. It depends on how the bounty manager filters the participant by increasing the rule levels. Here's the example, which one do you prefer, a blogging participant with 1000+ daily views and influence or a participant with only little of viewers, in terms of spreading the news about your project?

It's better to limit bounty hunters, and oblige KYC! Because there are so many bounty hunters who cheat. So that makes the Bounty Manager trouble.
Some only copy work from other participants. Some also use the names of other participants.

Bounty hunters play significantly in promoting the ICOs. They are ones making the project attractive to the investors. But, these bounty hunters, experts saying, are also the ones pulling the project to go down once paid by dumping all the tokens without considering the effect on the token price. It's really hard to control these bounty hunters nowadays because there is a lot of newcomers here that the only purpose of staying here is to earn right away. Sad to say but this is the reality right now.

I have not seen one project that succeeded without bounty participants, the duty of bounty participants is to promote and enhanced awareness of the project, yes you can get an advertising firm to do that, but there's a very little possibility that they are going to accept tokens that the ICO will offer they want upfront payment and they want bitcoin and ethereum.

In my views, I think that bounty participants are important to any new ICO projects since they are the frontliners of the ICO to dessiminate the project using it's avatar. If people will be able to notice about the ICO project, that could urge the people from searching and understanding about the project. Bounty hunters are the ones helping the ICO project to become successful  through sjgnature campaign and social media  campaigns.

Bounty reward is fixed so that doesn't take effect. More participants, less rewards for each participant. If number of participants is limited, this is for ensured that bounty hunters will receive high amount of tokens.

Bounty participant is a core part of a project, they help the project to reach as more people as they can and some of those people will become investors.

If number of participant is limited, there will be less people know about the project.

KYC verification is not suitable for ICO generosity campaigners. She, in fact, has the task of preventing the laundering of dirty money and only investors should pass it. On the other hand, in order to filter out multiple accounts, to violate the right of everyone to confidential information - this is not an option. In addition, anyone who wants can have many different accounts and bypass this KYC check. You can use a laptop, tablet and mobile phone, which will have different IP-addresses, use different phone numbers and email addresses, as well as use the data of your family members and relatives. All this makes it possible for many accounts to be tested KYC without any problems. So why is this circus needed at all? In general, the ICO team needs it in order not to pay parts to the bounty hunters of the tokens they earned and no more. We are deceiving ourselves and those who believe that KYC verification is necessary for bounty hunters, help fraudsters from the ICO team.

I think bounty hunter is take big part for the project, advertising in every single thread make more investor come. If the project got a lot bounty participant they will be know better than the project that have less bounty participant

If someone tell bounty participant must be limited, then he is a greedy person (he want get more stakes). Project don't care about how many participant they more care about the project crowdfunding itself. They only spend about +-2% for bounty participant

Bounty hunters greatly influence ICO projects. The more people will promote the ICO project, the more the project will be more popular and it will attract many more investors.

Bounty participants are beneficial to the projects. They are  the one who influence the projects success by publicity and this can encourage investors also. It is not good to limit participants since most of them can be an investors.

Bounty participants can give a greater impact to a project, it increase its publicity and engagements with investors not only that but they can also help give activity to the project when its already on the market, Two things that are not good about some bounty hunters is not having any knowledge about the project their promoting and dumping the coin after the release, but we can't avoid that cause some bounty hunters only join campaigns for a money to spend and not for an investment.

Surely there is a lot of influence about the participants, and this will be a good progress for the future. A project that can achieve success and achieve goals will require participants to help. This is one influence that is able to make the project successful.

Bounty participants are really important for the new project, it spread awareness to the public and could attract more investors, the more nuber of participants will be good for the project because it can advertise at wider range, but it won't benefit the participants because the earning will be less

dumping is not a problem for a good project. if they have strong idea. team and enough money, investors will buy cheap bounty coins with pleasure.

I just came to realized that most of the bounty tokens pool isn't that much because its only around 1% so they shouldn't be blamed if these bounty participants are dumping those tokens.

It gives exposure to the project having it on their tweets, posts and signature and other means of advertisement.

There are projects that didn't even conduct a bounty so contribution to success of a new project depends really on the development.

The bounty participants were spreading the massage anywhere and this gives a lot of influence to the demand of the platform itself. marketing is a key remember the bounty participants can help the project to get a lot of vote to be listed on the big exchange site too. AFAIK the restriction will be created to make the participants will do something that will give a bad impact to the project.,

The most important thing in the project is an interesting and new idea and not participants of the bounty companies on which everything is dumped when the project failed.

Bounty program is carried out to promote the new cryptocurrency produced by the project. Which in turn attracts investors to the ICO. Therefore, participants are simply necessary for the bounty company.

there is no guarantee between the two you say.

however there will always be endless debates.
but I agree more if the bounty campaign participants are limited especially to signatures.

I see there are some ico that does not hold a bounty program. and they can also get investors. from where they get the investor, yes I think they are doing a very big advertising. because I believe every project has different investor objectives.
the role of the bounty participant equals the advertising in several media. It is possible that a given cost for the program is cheaper than the bounty must be advertise on a medium as possible, that's what makes many of the ico that choose to do bounty campaign.

Bounty participant especially that of signature campaign are strategically important to project exposure to community where it matter most. The project is actually getting free advert with a promise of a token that may not be valuable in the future!

I see we should limit bounty participants, because by doing so, the bounty hunters will receive more rewards and the quality of their work will be better.
But bounties want to have as many participants as possible, they will help ICO easier to be more popular and more successful.

Don't be deceived by a raw numbers of bounty participants in bounty campaigns that have more than 2000 participants . Sometimes we can see bounties whith 5000+ participants , but I can assure you that at least half of them are not an unique participants . Those bot accounts owned by a few persons and you should understand that when you see 40,000 people in a telegram group, or the same number of followers in social networks of the newly created project , they are fake users who do not reflect the objective interest in the project. I doubt that such fake users may be useful. It is much more important to have high-quality support of community than the fake one from the army of bots.

For a new project, the most important thing is growth and development and they need investors too
So to gain maximum awareness bounty hunters are required to spread the word about their project across the world

Imagine 50000 people making 10 post weekly with hashtags  across all social media
That makes it alot of post and a lot of marketing ranges

The popularity of bounty campaign in this forum has a great impact to the marketing of ICOs that is why it has a massive participants even the ICOs owners really appreciate the value of bounty participants towards the success of their protects.

Bounty participants are the live wire of any crypto project, without bounty participants the project might not come to lime light,they do most of the marketing campaigns, however for effective marketing campaign we need a limited number of bounty participants.

I also do not believe that social media bounties, like twitter, facebook or vk, do not affect too much ICO sell. But content, signature and translations bounties are vital for new projects.

We bounty hunters is very influential because we can spread to the word and create awareness about the projects that can lead the investor to see what we have promoted and they invest on it, the limitation of bounty participants it depend on the team of the project because I think they want a fair and good share of bounty reward to the participants.

Bounty hunters are doing a very hard job. Their work is to promote a project on social media, forums, media platforms, crypto resources and so on. I think a bounty programme is extremely important for a new ICO.

It is more advantage when the ICO campaign that is hosting the bounty campaign allocate more funds in order for many bounty hunters to join in the campaign. And the possible of it will surely get you amazed. Because most of the investors find their ico through the bounty campaign.

Bounty hunters are one of the most influential participants in the whole ICO project process,without them many ICO projects might not succeed, however if bounty hunters are restricted the success of the project might be compromised.

I can say the influence of the bounty participants on the success of the bounty is 30%, and the rest is the invetsor and the team itself. simple language is that participants promote bounties to attract investors to participate in investing funds for bounty success, of course with projects that have been neatly arranged by their team.

then if the participants are limited, it doesn't have a big influence on the bounty, because one participant can do promotions on various campaigns and that can still help. indeed, when the bounty was finished, most of them carried out large dumps which could have an impact on the sustainability of the coins in the market. also good enough to limit the number of participants to reduce the big dump and that is more effective in my opinion than Kyc.

Your right bounty participants must be restricted in joining such campaigns and must submit kyc for the clearer of each participants,yes in a multiple accounts as what ive observed and heared only one person uses it,so its unfair they get many rewards in only one campaign,.and i know that it is already made in action of our beloved head.,

Bounty participants play a role in ICO's success. I think bounty participants are ambassadors of coins or projects that are followed, and as long as they give good opinions it will make ICO successful and can reach hardcap.

I think unlimited bountyhunters is more profitable for project because more advertize, but worst for bounyhunters because less money. If we talk about influence from bounty hunters in my opinion they do a lot of avertize for project, and probably we should KYC in every ICO for hunters.

1. quite affect the project because bounty hunter can promote the project so the project will be seen by many new investors.
2. do you mean no bounty on the project or what ? if the project already has a big name behind the project, i think bounty is no more needed

If we talk about marketing, then bounty hunters can only affect the popularity of the project.

Limiting the number of participants is not a good idea. In almost all the campaigns, the number of coins or tokens allocated to bounty participants is fixed and it doesn't depend on number of participants. Higher number of participants leads to more marketing and also less income for participants. So, It's better.

The bounty participants are not so much of influencer in the market for the price driven nor any big role in the company. But, the participants itself are affected in the way of getting their reward. The more participants the low reward they get.

It is very important that the bounty hunters are educated and have a high skill of analyzing and selecting projects, then investors will begin to listen to our advice and good projects will continue to raise funds as before. All remain in the win.

In my opinion it's beneficial for projects when the number of  bounty participants  is big because the projects will have a great spread word and will distribute the rewards among many holder.
But it's not good because the rewards amount will be small.

I agree with you, bounty program has a great impact to the marketing of ICOs.
When the members of this forum see the bounty program, they can be interested in joining the campaign.

It seems for me that dump doesn't depend on amount of bounty participants, it depend on the amount of payments, for example project allocates 100 000$ in tokens, suppose 5000 participants will get tokens on 20$, or 10 participants will get tokens on 10 000$, I think in second case probability of dump is higher, because in first case  20$ isn't big money and many participants will hold their tokens with hopes that it will grow, otherwise people who got big payments will wish to sell their tokens and price will dump. So I think dump doesn't depend on the amount of participants

I am long time here and I see that bounty campaigns, bounty managers and bounty hunters are getting worse day by day.
Yes, there are many bounty campaigns, many managers and many hunters and the quantity replaced quality  :). Thats why I think that ICOs no longer need bounty campaigns to promote their projects.

I think that one day projects will become more choosy on bounty participants. And social media bounties need a lot of regulations because some hunters just spam around the web thus reducing the trust to the project.

personally I think that it depends. as for the bounty participants it is really good for them to be limited in amount because their rewards are higher in this case. but as for the project it is better to spread the word about the project and advertise it by more amount of the participant. but at th same time among the too many participants there are too many bots and I do not think that they help to the project very much, because except the quantity the good project needs the quality from the participants.

Their participation does actually have some kind of affect. Participating in their bounty program means they are helping the project in various ways. They are making things easier for the developers by helping them promote the project. But I think restricting or allowing more users will have both its downside or upside. Restricting users will cause the project to be less noticed by the people. On other hand, allowing many users means giving out more tokens for free which might cause the price to fall when dumped.

If there are more people promoting their project then the project will get more exposure for the same amount of token they are allocated for any number of persons doing bounty so they won't limit the participants but nowadays the project feared that hunters were dumping so they were holidng the rewards for few weeks the only they are paying the participants.

I think the more bounty hunters participate in the project, the better. Things are not even in the budget. The project receives huge advertising. The reward for hunters remains the same, but the amount of advertising that they produce cannot be measured. Even if the product is not high-quality, this is vseravno advertising.

Right said.
Bounty hunters increasing day by day and also increasing on different ico project. But ethereum under $500, and now $199. Before 6 month, there was so less participants but now huge.

1. How influential is this bounty participant for a new project? - influential in the extent that it's like a snowball effect on other enthusiasts as well
2. If the bounty participant is restricted what will affect the success of a new project?- They need to double up their other marketing campaigns aside from this and if to restrict make it as quality as possible to maximize the power of the hunters

most of the ico projects these are are running on bounty participates their role has a huge impact on cryptocurrencies and upcoming ico market

The main purpose of bounty companies is to advertise any project. so I think that bounty has a huge impact. because advertising is the engine of progress

Bounty is a very good way to promote a new project. Number of participant is also matter of project. I think limited participant is the good for promote a project. Take quality participant and make success the project. 

I think the participant's bounty is quite influential on a project because a lot of participant bounties are even more powerful than investors about an ICo, and the more participants there are, the more likely the holder
although not too much, but I think it will be quite influential too

Bounty campaign is a very good advertisement for the newly project that has ICO.  Managers just need to filter the participant who joined.

I guess the limit of participants in bounty campaign that stake base does not work. Thats the main goal of a bounty campaign more participants = more advertisement. 

In my opinion, it is clear that without the participants of the ICO generosity campaign, no one ICO project will be able to raise the necessary funds, because potential investors will not be aware of such a project. Therefore, the participants of the ICO generosity campaign play a very large role. Further, it depends only on the prospects of the ICO project whether the ICO team will raise funds or not.

I think that the number of bounty participants does not affect the success of the project. This only determines the amount of rewards that can be obtained (the more people the less reward for each)

The influence of bounty hunters and participants can not be over emphasised as it has greatly been a contributing factor to the success of projects it has been contracted for. The sourcing of funds has been a great deal for project team and that has been the need for the raising of funds through the hunters and the industry of hunting and also kept its own part of the bargain.

bounty hunters really do big job - it is advertisement for projects also very often bounty hunters investing in projects

Well, how I did the bounty I remembered a pattern that usually if there are many participants in the bounty it is possible to tell more likely to have been successful , and when not a lot of people often turned out to be a Scam!

there arr a lot of good bounty ca,paigns butbyou can not be sure that you have chosen the right one so you shoyld better be careful

bou tu campaigms have their right to exist but you need to remember that they aee just one of the possible varienr for you

Personally I think that the amount of participants should be limited till that amount where they may really do their best for the developing of the project, and to make the participants being happy with good rewards. And the work of the participants should be of good quality.

Participants in the bounty campaigns can be considered investors of a new project, only they invest not their money but their time. All of them want to make good money just like other investors.
Unfortunately, many of the bounty hunters are ready to sell their tokens at any price, so often after paying them rewards, the token rate drops in price.

In my opinion, bounty participants make a significant contribution to the development of the project and its community. But I think a lot depends on the bounty of the Manager and its terms. Of course, bounty campaigns with participant limits look much more attractive, than campaigns with a number of participants. The success of the project is influenced by the team, the idea, its implementation and application.

Bounty hunting and in essence bounty hunters play a key role to the publicity and establishment of any serious project. This is why 90% of projects reserve special funds for engaging the services of hunters. Hunters help a lot in propagating the news about these projects and at a cheaper fee than traditional advertising methods. The success of any project depends a great deal on marketing and advertising which hunters are known for. Even established projects do find it necessary sometimes to run a post ico bounty just to boost awareness. Concerning dumping,  Bounty hunters get paid for services done and it is their right to dump at whatever price they deem fit and recoup some profits for job done which is normal.

I think that bounty participants are very important for project marketing. They help project grow and almost for free. You dont have to pay them in real money, you will pay them in tokens and you can create as many tokens as you want.

key participants there were not too make the project could be said to be successful. Indeed it will expand its marketing but which will still determine whether worth to invest is the investor itself. When this restricted certainly also not be a problem because it will certainly have an impact both for the bounty hunter because of the results they will get a large can.

Bounty participants are the most important characters that can not be fililtered out cause they hold the marketing section in ICOs so it will be very difficult to do without them but sometimes they get dissatisfied cause of payments

The success of the project does not depend on the number of participants in the bounty program. a greater number of participants only affect the fact that payments are getting smaller and bigger for nothing ;)

Bounty hunters are the back bone of all project , just like making a press release about a project and creating awareness to many people about the project which go a long way for the success of the project .

But on the aspect of dumping I totally disagree with that cause most of the hunters are the holder we have and more so if s token sold 70mln token and just 1mln was giving to bounty hunters tell me how that will affect the dip, investors are the major dumper , who bought at bonus rate and have many ico to buy will surely dump to move on to another token cause all ico buyer are in cause of bonus to have profit and once it hit exchange they dump and move on.

I have a project that lock hunters token for 90days after listing on exchange and during these time the token dump 95% and hunter are yet to receive their token then who dump and am sure if they distribute to hunter before now , everyone will claim they are the cause if the price dip but here they are without token and it dump like something else.

Only projects can answer that. We really don't know the numbers because I haven't seen any ICO acknowledging that bounty participants really bring investors on their project.


Hard to say but for sure exposure will be limited, imagine hundred of bounty hunters promoting your project as compare to 50? Of course more is better. As for dumping, its been a practice ever since, I don't know how's its a problem now. The issue is that we're in the bear market that's why we're seeing it. But last year, no one was complaining about this practice.

I think that the more advertizing, the it will be better for the project. The small number of participants limits the project in advertizing. It is also necessary to consider that not all advertizing of the accepted participants will be effective.

The bounty participants are the most important success factors for ICOs
This method is also the most suitable for the owners of the project
- Because they will pay only in the case of the success of the sale
- as the owners of the project are those who determine the value of the bonuses.
- as the payment by the project Token .
All of these factors make the option of bounty participants better than advertising companies

The restriction of participation is subject to the campaign manager and his vision.

In promoting the ICO, there are some elements. One of them is through the bounty program. I will try to answer the questions based on my personal opinion.
1. Yes, it will give influence to the new ICO. At least, in promoting the ICO. Bounty aims for promoting the new projects through some campaigns. Commonly the most influence is through the signature program (posting in the forum Bitcointalk). But there are also other ways to promote the ICO : Social media, youtube, blog or web, mand others.
2. If the bounty participant is restricted, I think that it will be very nice for the participants itself. SO, they will compete to be the early participant to promote the ICO.

Bounty hunters are highly important in the promotion and advertisement of a new project, especially at the introductory phase into the crypto sphere. However, the decision to limit the number of participants or not is dependent on the bounty manager and the targets of the project. There are some projects/ICOs that limit bounty participants to Full Member and higher, in that case it is limited to certain ranks. That shouldn't affect the overall performance of the bounty and targets set.

It is good to have lots of people on the bounty as this is sure to have a positive impact on th ICO  as its tends to create more awareness for the project, thereby  increasing the numbers  of  investors, to avoid high numbers of dumpers you can  develop a format that  tends to give bonus to holders per time, you can also lock the token of bounty hunters in order to play save.

I just assume if the ICO project only requires investors to invest in their project, at least to achieve the value needed to achieve the specified target. So I don't think many or not the bounty participants are so problematic, because if indeed they really want to build the project well, then the number of bounty participants should be better, because of that high enthusiasm that makes him optimistic to keep moving upward.

bounty participants are making community, I see that good project use them like this.
also they are really influenced, when you see that projcet has many articles or reposts it gives additional trust

The place of bounty participants is such that can't be underrated and over emphasized. The extra boost they bring to the marketing of a project should in no way be taken for granted.

On the issue of them dumping, this assessment hasn't been objective enough especially lately. We all know that virtually all projects are struggling in prices due to the ongoing market tsunami. I have even seen bounty participants holding on than the investors in some cases.

Bounty participants is big influence in one project because participants is the one can promote about their project to get a investors. And there's a many participants in this forum so if one or two person will restricted it will not affect to the project.

The success of the project is not affected by the bounty participants. The number of participants only affects the bounty reward. After all, the more participants, the less each of them will be able to get. Limiting the number of bounty hunters will also be useful for the project, i believe. After all, in this case it will be easier to manage and detect violations.

Bounty participants have a big role to promote ICOs projects to the real potential investors. I think they are very crucial for a new project. If there are restriction for bounty participants, It will reduce the possibility for the successful token sales.  

Bounty participants or I'd say bounty campaigns are playing a huge role to promote ICO projects. The role of Bounty campaigns is to promote a project through various platforms such as social media, forums and sites where potent investors can be found. If ever participants would be restricted, it will surely be a huge loss especially on the part of advertising the project itself.

I agree with you mate, bounty hunters are just like fuel of a vehicle it can't run or can't go to a destination. Bounty hunters are the influence of all investors that the project is successful.

I think the effect is very large from the Bounty participants for the success of the ICO project, because with Bounty participants automatically a project will be appointed to the public, so that it will attract Investors to participate in their ICO. So don't underestimate Bounty participants.

Despite the number of bounty participants not being restricted for the bounties, it seems some are already restricting themselves, because of the present situation of the market. For those who are still i to bounty, they will have more rewards to themselves.
Bounty is a promotional means for every project that employs its service, not necessarily new or old projects.

Bounty participants played a important role in the new project and without bounty its very hard to spread the project everywhere. But the question of how much it's good for project. First of all almost 1 or 2 percent of total coin is reserve for bounty participants. And I don't think so it could more effect on token dump. People thinking that bounty participants dump their token but I am agree with it. First 2 percent of the total supply of the coin is not much effective for price drop. And also these 2 percent is not distributed at one single wallet. These 2 percent bounty coin distributed among thousands of wallet and not everyone selling their coin at the same time. Few bounty hunterss could do it but not everyone. And those thousand of wallet also get their token for their hard work. It's not free.. Their are other so many resources for dump the coin. It's depend on the project. If the project is strong and listed on good volumes exchange then it could be grow too.

Bounty participant is just a part of the promotion of a project, And making promotion in a forum or social media, can give a good result of investors.
Without a bounty participant, the the project will have a hard time to find an investors.

In theory, this should be understood, yes. However, it is important to know that there are many places where the number of participants in the bounty is very competitive. Usually the total amount will not be changed by the number of people.

1. I think the participant's bounty is only a media campaign for the Iico project, when talking about the future of a project, the innovations offered, whitepapers and roadmaps are the basic things that matter. investors will not simply believe in participant bounties, they will still carry out a fundamental analysis of the project, so even if there are thousands of participant bounties, if the project is not attractive, investors will not come.

2. I agree more with restrictions on participant bounties, this looks more equitable for each participant. Acceptable participant bounty should have high credibility and willingness to work, not just a bounty hunter who tends to spam. with restrictions on participant bounties, income commission sharing will also be large, not necessarily shared by many people.

bounty participants nowadays arent taking for granted and always get disrespected in the world of crypto, thats very much sad considering how they all work just to promote a certain project.

Obviously the bounty participants have an influence on the success of a project, because indirectly the participants promote the projects they are participating in, the more participants they are certainly the better for the project

bounty hunter give their best effort to make ico project successfull and raise money suitable with their target.more participants make more people know current project.

Bounty hunting is a publicity/Marketing drive; far cheaper than what google and other e-marketing firms can collect.

In that regard, most people will go for bounty hunters because of the affordability.

The good thing is that; even the fuss generated by the worst participants who may end up not been shortlisted,  will add to the publicity of a project.

My take:
Bounty hunting is a better channeled marketing exercise for bounty hunting; take it or leave it.
Except if your product is very sound, and you're sure of the utility value; bounty will give you that community value projects are looking for.

Finally;
Bounty is important, productive but still dispensable for good projects.
The impact will always be felt, more than most other marketing gimmicks and despite the cost.
No doubt; the activity is, and remains influential.

That's the role of bounty hunters, they needed to attract people/investors attentions in order to make sure that the project will be supported, from that they can get a guarantee that the effort that they made will be paid off, we knew more participants means a lots of ways to advertise the project, it will
be for the benefits of both ends.

I think they are very influential on the success and sale of tokens for a project,
of course influential if the number of participants is limited indeed the number of promotions will also be limited,

No matter how many participants you have, the distribution of the bounty activities is limited, it will not increase the rewards of the distribution due to the number of participants! The number of participants is limited to increase the income of each participant!

Bounties are important for raising awareness or 'hype' on social media platforms and referrals are essential for attracting investors whereas airdrops are designed to generate a larger user base and distribution for a token, and the most successful ICO's have typically incorporated all three of these aspects into their marketing strategy

naturally, the participants who participate in the company play a big role, with the help of us people learn about the project, we do advertising.

The more participants involved in the project, the more people will learn about it, of course it is good for the project and its team.

Bounty participants aren't that influential, but you know, it is important to create hustle around project and every investor should see multiple articles, youtube videous about ICO.

Population of bounty doesn't determine if a project will dump or not the fault lies usually in the hand of project team, they must be up to their tasks, if a project is well structure it will reflect in the market, lastly the project idea must be unique.

I think bounty hunters doing a very important job for icos. They are spending their valuable time for doing advertisement in some social media channels like face twitter youtube medium bitcointalk etc.
That can help to ico for creating their core community. They are starting to create community with that way and bounty participants increasing awareness of project.

Bounty participants are primarily required for building up a community. However professional a team may be, they'll always be able to do better if they have a supporting (and opposing) community behind them. It's also a measure to increase adoption and use.

The Bounties are created for sole purpose a cheaper marketing tools.Since most of the participants are geographically scattered worldwide. Its the best and the cheapest way to advertise ICO's like social media,Twitter,Facebook,linkedin etc.through bounty campaigns ICO projects are easily reaching worldwide target market via social media. Bounty Hunters are also important to create hype and to make the specific community grows and alive. Bounty participants are not influencers but just a ordinary Marketers. If Bounty participants are prohibited will its cost a lot to the platform that running and ICO due to a fact that posting your ICO in numerous websites are costly thing to do.

In my opinion, the most effective advertising is done by the participants who shoot video reviews of the project in YouTube. But for this you need to know English perfectly, in order to correctly present all the necessary information. Social networks are also a good advertisement but usually there are a lot of participants in such campaigns and at the end very small awards.

In my opinion, it is not the number of participants who influence whether or not a project is good but whether or not softcap and hardcap are achieved on the project so that many people will join when the project softcap can be achieved. Participants are very helpful to develop the project by promoting it in various media in order to attract investors so that the softcap can be achieved and the project runs smoothly.

Having alot of bounty participants means there's alot of people advertising your coin, which developer want, they can maximize the potential of an ico which is great, that means there's more bounty reward for bounty hunters, its a win-win situation for both side, bounty hunters are happy developers are happy everybody is happy.

I think that the influence of the bounty participants plays a role for the wide advertising of the project and attracting a small number of investors - the main role in attracting large investors lies with the project team.

gift participants are project supporters through social media, bounty hunters aim to succeed in the projects they support so that pre-investors know and are interested in investing, but if the Bounty participants are limited to returning from the team's hard work, they must work hard to promote the projects they run .

According to my observations, the number of participants does not affect the results, and good marketing and the right advertising is very much affected.

Bounty participants make a significant influence on the project, especially most investors always make this forum the main reference, and this certainly can make the project a success.

the influence of participants is very influential because if more and more participants promote a project, the project will be widely known to people and make people participate in the ICO

Bounty programs have contributed greatly to the success of many projects. On the other hand, due to many unconscious participants, the prices have been destroyed. This can be avoided by a small arrangement.

Both of them are valid points of discussion for many managers. Bounty hunters have evolved now and they try to join projects which may reach at least soft cap, it was not like this in the past. Also restricting the total members in a bounty campaign wont change the success rate too much for any projects these days.

For the project, of course, it is a priority to have many participants. However, this is not the key to success. For investors, it is important that the project itself is worthy. Project team members should be interested in success.
However, there is a significant difference for bounty hunters. The more participants in the project, the less they will receive awards.

  Bounty participants has an individual roll or obligation after apply a certain campaign to do their best to promote that project.Some participants are serious but some are not, making a serious job and given a good return too.There are some project are scam they cannot identify fully, in the sence of very good offered in first place.

For a company of generosity, a large number of participants is better, since it is a kind of advertisement for a new project with ICO. The participant is not very profitable to work, small payments if a lot of people.

Bounty hunters are more likely spreading influence about a particular project for the project to earn enough popularity which would be benefitial into it. Bounty hunters are doing the work with regards on gathering more investors towards the project that they are advertising. As such, their work determines the success of the project itself since investors are their main target.

If in general, yes, participants of the bounty companies contribute to the token rate, but not so much, since the largest influence is exerted by large investors who can manipulate the token rate as they wish.

I personally say it all by absolutely different rules. Well then, when there is a project and there is a small number of participants in it. And then all participants will receive a good reward. And I can firmly confirm that the number of participants does not affect the new project. And new projects are completely different.

Bounty hunters can have a positive impact on the project as well as a negative one. The main thing is to competently organize their work, to see that there is no spam and shit posts.

IMO, whatever the cause of it, and the rate of the ICO dump project can not condemn the bounty members. As usual, ICO projects distribute Token for bounty members account for only about 5% of the total supply token, so if the dump rate is just for a short period of time.

My only point in this case is that, the more bounty participants is the better, why? because it can scatter into the social media and other channels about the certain project is doing, the more exposure the better, it can help succeed the project, talking about dumping, yes it can contribute to dump those coin but, but more participants, the less sharing of coins, so its just the same.

Bounty hunters can make everything worsen like many are just dumpers which can drag down a good project and if a good bounty doesn't have a limited participants then there will be too many and the end rewards won't be satisfying which will affect not only the participants but the bounty manager too

On the contrary, I believe that social networks in bounty do not have such a reaction as many expect. They are of course necessary, but many of those who read about the project will be the participants of the bounty. But the articles and video I think is undervalued and Vice versa bring the projects more useful.

Bounty participants have a big influence to the project because they are those people.who are promoting the project through social media and in the bitcointalk website. social media nowadays is the number one tool in promoting the project so that is how important bounty hunters in the project. I think.if there are lots of participants it means more people are participating to promote the project and about the dumpers they said. the stakes of the project usually dont affect the number of participants because it has already been decided how much it will be given to participants no matter how many participants will join into the project.

Many projects during the Bounty campaign have already limited the number of participants and collected what was planned, so the number of hunters is not so much influencing the final result.

Bounty participants do have a great help to ICO's on which they are spreading the ICO's signature and logo here in the forum for signature campaign. Social medias has a wide cover of people and so the Social networking sites are great instrument of ICO like facebook, twitter and linkedin. The number of participants is not a huge factor for an ICO's success it depends on the person's influentiality.

First of all I would like to say that bounty hunters also have a great influence on wether a project will be succesfull or not. It's a great way for a project initiator to get more attention to your project.

And yes, they can have a lot of influence on the value of the token. But only if a large part of the total amount of tokens are bounty tokens and they brought on the market all at once by the initiator of the project.

I like the LEND team distributed their tokens. They also had the problem that it was about a lot of tokens at once. So they decided to spread the distribution over a period of four weeks. The result was that it probably didn't harm the value of the tokens.

In my opinion every project should think about the way they are distributing their tokens.

In my opinion, Bounty participants have some influence on the project:
- The project will be widely promoted to the community.
- A participant will consult the community before joining the project, negative members will cause confusion and insecurity for them.
- If the rewards manager does not have fair, accurate rules then questions about reallocation will affect the speed of development of the project...

That it, many people think that when the tokens are listed on the exchange are often dump is due to the bounty hunter token they receive. But I never agreed with that, because the project team is always careful to allocate tokens to bounty participants, making them unable to dump price tokens.

In my opinion, it is very important for a new project to start a new bounty campaign. Despite the complains that the hunters always dump the coin, bounty is the most efficient way to promote your project on the social media.

I do not think that limiting is good. I think this is done so that the hunters would receive a slightly higher reward. For companies it is important to have a lot of hunters. More hunters more advertising.

As for the price of the token, bounty hunters affect it slightly and briefly due to the fact that the bounty pool is usually a small fraction of the total number of tokens - 1-2 percent.

Bounty members with YouTube channels, blogs, and sites with a very large daily audience have a huge impact. As a rule, they attract a very large number of investors. On social networks account for not such a large number of participants.

There are various considerations about the influence of advertising.
Yeah they really can bump the hype around the project both via social media (due to hashtags and repeats) it can have value to introduce new people to the projects
but on the other hand too much obvious annoying advertising can be harmful (e.g. TokenGo campaign) and can make an opposite effect.
And by the way a lot of projects gather softcap without introducing bounty campaigns and it's the real fact.

I think bounty participant also need verificating them self and the manajer bounty can choose whose follow the projects and what impact if they join the project so, it can eliminate dumper for example

You cannot eliminate those bounty hunter (some dumpers) as easily like that. Think about this, you don't want a shit coins as a payment on your effort for such a several months, you need a real money so all you need is to sell your altcoins in the fastest way as possible. So most of the bounty hunter sell it on the lowest if necessary, cause a well experienced bounty hunter know and understand the situation of those project if that is profitable or not.

Bbounty participants can influence project marketing and publicity groups. They get paid for their work. But if a project does not limit the number of participants. The payment they receive will be very low. This will greatly reduce the participation level of bountyhunters.

Many bounty participants is better for any project(besides it is worse for every participant in particular). Why?
First of all, more people - more advertising. Project is always in sight. No matter what social media it is - it works anyway.
And secondly the more people participate the less chance all of them decide to sell in the same moment. So for project it is good - because bounty pool is not enlarging because of quantity of hunters.
And this is also the reason why it is bad for hunters - lower reward per person

1)Indeed bounty hunters influence the project very well because they help new projects to pass their contents on social media world widely and translate their important documents like whitepaper, lightpaper, ANN and their websites in different different languages. This helps them to tell masses who they are and attracts investors too and if the concept of the project is good bounty hunter also invests.
2) If you look at present scenario the number of bounty hunter has been increased drastically and this results in low income for hunters as well as there is chances more peoples will sell the token on exchanges. Fixing number of participants in the campaign will help both project and hunters mutually.

Some of bounty participants are not influential, however, they were able to spread the information that the certain project is present. And there are some that are very influential bounty hunters and they are paid more because one of the reason here is that they have a larger audience, readers, viewers and more.

For the project this might be good, cause the information distribution or the advertisement of the project will be better.
But this will give a bad effect on the bounty participant, the more the participant then there will be less reward will be received by any of the bounty participant.

I think bounty campaigns are necessary. But it is necessary in the same time to have solutions for "not dumping" after bounty hanters get their tokens. If we are talking about bounty as a part of marketin strategy - it very effective..

for one thing, the more people actually involved the faster information about it is spreading. and information happens to be one of the main valuse in this century, so i guess the role of participants is huge

They are influencing people even those who are not really aware about the project, giving some ideas about the project and letting investors to check the potentials of the coins that they are promoting, bounty is just like an ads by doing it you are helping the company to be known by more people that will also a potentials to gain supports and investment, the more influencer the more people that will gain interest and investment to the project.

1. Yes, bounty hunters have a considerable influence on the project on social media as long as they do it properly and orderly
2. Not really, because most of the beginner bounty hunters break the rules and cause official accounts to deal with certain parties such as Twitter and Facebook, due to the large number of bounty hunter spam posts

And now the bounty hunters only care about when listings and then sell as cheap as possible to get money, so it can be said to be a bounty hunter like two sides of the opposite coin

Yes, I agree with you. Bounty is the best option to promote a new project. It's really cheap and safety while they can promote their project in many different campaigns. They can pay by their tokens, so if the IOC failed, they  don't need to pay for participants.

In fact, the participants of the bounty affect the bounty itself more than you think. After all, all the negativity that they Express to the public, necessarily affects prices. And if the project is praised and defended, then the success will be even greater

Bounties can greatly increase the projects Exposure and a the cheapest way for advertising since you will not pay any $$ but you will just pay using your own token a percentage of it, its a win win for both side

For utility tokens, all that's needed is much participants in the bounty campaign exercise. The more the participants the better the project as all they seek for is large community.

Yes, you are right they will start promoting in a different way to the bounties. They will allocate some budget for bounties and this will help to reach their fundraising target. Yes, if ICO fails they won't pay anything to the bounty hunters.

Maybe everything has their own way of being good and bad, but I do think there should be a lot of participants in an ICO cause that’s really going to go a long way in helping that ICO succeed. Not all of us are investors, some of us are just here to work in promoting on various social media platforms like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and the forum. Then there are also the investors, so everyone should be allowed to play their own role, but to a certain limit though.

Bounty participants in the first place are of great benefit to the project - it is its advertising. Without them, most likely, many projects would not be able to raise the necessary amount for the project. But also bounty participants can influence the price of tokens after listing on the exchange. If the trading volume is still small, and they will start selling the project tokens sharply, the price will definitely go down. But slightly, since the bounty usually allocate no more than 3 percent of the total emission of tokens

The bounty participant does not affect the project in any way , but a huge number of participants can attract the attention of investors , namely, investors are needed by each ICO company.

If bounty participants have not been a major influence in the success of ICOs, I am sure by now, no team with new projects will even be bothering themselves with any bounty campaign at all. One thing with something is that there will always be an advantage as well as disadvantage, but in a way, when the advantage is far more than the disadvantages, I am sure, no one will not just prefer to discard the disadvantages and focus more on the advantage, which in this case, having a cheaper way to advertise is one thing that will always work for the team.

With respect to dumping, it should be noted that it is not only bounty participants that are the culprits here, whale investors tend to get huge bonuses as well and they try to dump it all for the weak hands who want to be selling at loss, and those weak hands in this case are even some of the bounty hunters who are always busy selling far below the ICO price.

One thing with a project being exposed to more bounty participants is that, the more the bounty participants, the more the project will be projected out there and the more likely the project will get at being successful. At the end of it all, the same allocation that would go for more bounty hunters is the same allocation that will go for less bounty hunter.

Secondly, the idea of bounty hunters dumping their tokens is not something that will limit the growth of the project in the long run, and it is not like even with fewer participants holding more of the token, that won't still be possible. The teams of projects know this, and they really would prefer a successful ICO than trying to limit their promotional campaign.

Bounty participants have huge effect in a project because it is the reason why other people is also believe in a project. Also bounty participants have huge influence to know a one project especially when the participant have higher ranked. And Bounty participants are the possible reasons in a successful project.

If they limit the participants to each bounty, their project will not be widely promoted, and of course it will greatly affect their ICO sales. So they never limit the participants and expect as many participants as possible

restrictions on the number of participants on the success of the project does not affect much. But there is a certain benefit for bounty hunters. Because many of the participants share each gets less. In addition, if there will participate a lot of Heroes or Legends that others will get crumbs from the cake.

I believe that the influence of the bounty on the future fate of projects is very large. Bounty is considered a good advertisement and promotion of all projects.

Bounty campaigns are quite essential for new ICO projects. Because 99% of those who invest in an ICO are members of this forum. So more signatures and social media exposure mean more investment from the users. That said, the campaign manager should ensure that only quality users are allowed to participate.

very influential, bounty participants are people who spread positive news about projects with their creative ideas.
the more participants the faster the news about the project spreads. the negative side is that if there are more bounty participants, the less payment will be received by the participants in the campaign bounty.
and if the project limits the number of participants, it depends on the people they are involved.
although a little, but if the participant is a creative peoples's then it will also support the success of a project.

i think icos have to find a middle way for the right number of bounty hunters on the one hand more they are then more the project will be advertised and then more people will be aware, on the other side the same bounty hunters will lower the price of tokens once finished the ico

In my opinion, I think that bounty hunters are very important in making any ICO projects to be successful. Because they are the one that promotes the project in many social platforms and also Bitcointalk for potential investors. ICO gain more from this cheap method of marketing their project to the world.

I will say my opinion on the part of the developers of the new project. It would not matter to me how many people participate, since the total number of tokens for distribution is limited, even though there will be a million of them and everyone will receive one token. More important is the quality of how hunters advertise a project, what articles they write, which videos they shoot and how they attract investors to a new project.

The bounty participants can be a huge influence and I think they are also an influence to other participants or to other users

Now more and more Bounty projects introduce various restrictions to improve the quality of the work of the participants of the company. Quantitative audience coverage has somewhat lost priority in favor of work efficiency. I think it will benefit both the projects and participants of the bounty companies.

Bounty hunters are the first persons who knows what a particular project is about. They can answers questions related to projects.

The influence of bounty hunters cannot underestimated because its the bounty hunters that create awareness for an ICO project on social media. Most ICO projects are unknown in the beginning but with the help of bounty participants, they became know and also came out successful.

The greater the number of participants, the more advertising this project. A large number of participants will not affect the price of the token, as the number of tokens allocated to the bounty company remains the same.

in my opinion, more and more bounty participants will be better for the success of the project because more and more are promoting the project. for the problem of dumper it actually happens not because of the bounty participants in my opinion because we all know how much coin allocation for bounty participants is 1-5% so in my opinion if you consider that the participants bounty the cause of dumper is wrong.

If the project can allocate a large amount for bounty hunters, then it has big goals and free funds. Many like it. For example bounty hunters)

The more participants, the more hype gathered around the project. A large number of participants implies that the project is promising and therefore in its bounty company involved so many people.

    Ofcourse bounty participants has a great effect on every project to be known and attract more investors.  If the bounty participants is restricted it will also affect the demand on every project that's why bounty participants are very important as a part of project advertisement and promotion.

Very much the influence of participants bounties for the success or success of a new project. If participants in bounties are limited, the positive is that the benefits gained by participating participants will be greater. The negative is the success of the project. Because in general, the function of participants in bounties is to help promote the ICO.

Putting limitation to the number of participants does not in any way guarantee the success of the project. I personally believe that if participants are many, then there will be more room for the information about the project to be disseminated across board.
The that bounty participants are many does not mean the token will dump. The reason is that on average, the percentage allocated to bounty is not more than 3%, so there is no way that can cause a dump.

Bounty participant really do a lot for new projects, never underestimate them. From selling out to buying of the project all depends on them. Also most of the hunters turn out to be investors so they sometimes invest heavily in it knowing that its really a good project. Restricting them could really cost the project as the project might experience a decrease in hype affecting their general sales at large.

I think that the participants of the Bounty have a positive impact on the project and attract new investors to the project. and the number of participants should be regulated.

The influence of bounty participants in the fields of promoting or advertising makes more demand in the success of the new project to be honest do not put limits participating in bounty project because they are big responsibility in making project succeed.

Bounty hunters create hype around the project and simulated activity.
Often, some investors look at this and can base their decision on this factor.

This can be said in two ways:
1. The more bounty hunters a project have available, the better the reach to the outside world to attract more investors.
2. the more the tokens are distributed to a large number of hunters, the more likely the price will dump when listed on an exchange.

Every project will choose point #1 because they want more investors and they won't think more about whether the tokens are dumped after listing or not.

Basically, as you can see, there is much more percentage alloted in the signature campaign followed by media content and videos and etc. That is because bounty hunters are the heart of advertisements. ICO will succeed with the help of the increasingly number of bounty hunters all over the world.

Bounty participants made advertisements and promotion of projects in a much cheaper way compared to having a space of ads on billboards or televisions. Depending on the chosen participants on how they encourage or reach the attentions of investors. Based on my observation managers and team of projects prefer high quality profiles of participants like legendary or anyone that has good reputation and merits. If ever bounty participants are restricted I don't think if the project will making it's way up to the target number of investors because as we all know that cryptocurrency is restricted in social media and other platforms that has huge number of audience. It is not about dumpers actually, it is about delivering the project legitimately and professionally. Dumpers are only small percentage on this early stage so if the project is good and has potential dumpers will think twice depending on every situation.

Regardless of how many bounty participants, the vast majority of projects are outright failing, or falling short of even their softcap targets and having to extend their ICO's indefinitely at the moment,

so looks like they must find a more qualified and selective way to do marketing via bounties...

Bounty hunters didn't do much help nowadays since investors were smart enough to check the ICO potential, though hunters can still be a help to at least know that such project exist. It just need some never before seen tactic to outstand.

Answers:
1. Bounty participants help spread the name of the project through the signature campaign whilst wearing the banner. It helps investors find viable investments to buy in to.
2. It will affect the bounty campaign because it limits the movement of information from one investor to another. They can't buy in if they don't see your banner.

Bounty participants does a God job at advertising such projects and this exposes the said project to their prospective investors. Bounty participants are paid advertisers although cheaper when compared to what's obtainable in the advertising industry today.

Bounty hunters have a huge influence on a new project, because the bounty is the most efficient way of promoting an ICO on the first stages. Without any bounty, an ICO won't reach its funding goals on such a market.

Bounty hunters nowadays do not help to the project like it was in 2017, but  although today the bounty works n for the developing of the projects' idea and their popularization. For example signature and telegram chat campaigns help to the show the information to the potential investors or people who would be interested in coins. But the problem is that mowadays the situation on the crypto market in whole do not attract lots of investors. So the high interest to invest into something became less than in previous years. But soon the situation will change.

Yes, in my opinion, the bounty channel will make it easier for ICO projects to reach out to related audiences, and sometimes running ads on google would be unlikely to be successful with Bounty campaigns. So Bounty will never end.

I think the bounty hunter or participants could only be influential if their rank is higher than the member position.
The Full member, Sr. Member, Hero member and Legendary has a strong influence in the list with the investors in my opinion.
though I'm not saying below of this rank has no influence I am just point out that its an advantage if you're account was in high
rank level. I'm not try trying to offend anyone.

yes I think Bounty hunters play a big part ion the success of ICO. one major contribution is being visible. if many people are mentioning you or talking about you, possible investors gets curious. What they will do next is read the whitepaper and research the project. I think this is just the same how advertisement work. exposure!

Bounty also has an impact on ico because it is able to introduce their ico to the community and their possibility if they are interested in investing in it. as we know now, the bounty still survives because it is indeed beneficial for ICO and also benefits the participants

In my  opinion, the influence of bounty participants is quite powerful because I believe to succeed you need to become visible and most bounty participants do just that.

To say that ICO should limit the participants of bounty companies in order to get more profit at the end,but more participants play a big role in the promotion of the company and therefore the Golden mean is important,only then we can talk about the success of the project.

this will always be a debate that doesn't end, but there are many campaign participants who don't do their jobs properly.
try to note especially for the signature campaign. I agree more if the signature participants are limited.

Bounty participants are unknowingly influential. We are sharing the word of the projects and got investors. But we did not compensate by our works. I hope there are also ICO that knows the hardwork of their participants. They succeed because of bounty hunters however, they are deceiving the tokens once it hit on exchange. I hope every participant must be paid according to the work amd not because it is a gift of the company.

bounty participants have an influence in marketing, yes because there are many bounty campaign participants also make investments, yes like me.
but now there are many errors that occur in bounty hunters and this is intentional

Bounty hunters have always been very important for any project, especially at the initial stage of its development.
After all, it is thanks to them that there is a stir around any company. And on account of the limitations in each project, I agree that this should be done.
Otherwise, advertising may simply turn into spam.

In as much as bounty hunting is an activity to promote the new ICO, it is also a job for the bounty hunter so the amount of tokens to be received at the end of the campaign is necessary and that is why most hunters prefer bounties with high bounty pool. Limiting the number like what bountyhive does is always the best.

I think when a project makes a good bounty, this is usually a good tone, and it also draws attention to the project. But as practice shows me, the best projects do not conduct bounty companies as they have strong external investors.

For an ICO project to succeed and to reach out to many of the big investors in the world, we need to have bounty hunters like us to help promote the project's image to more people. If the number of participants in a bounty is limited. I think this is a selfish thing and it does not attract many investors to your project.

The impact of the project is on the bounty hunter, if most of the bounty participants are friends and followers, or their content is constructive. It will help the project to know and invest a lot

Bounty campaigns are almost free way how to promote some project, you are giwing away some tokens for spreading a word about your project.
If your project is succesful, bounty hunters are in profit.
If you fail deliver project, then nothing happened, you dont have to pay real money for "hard work".

Most people here in this forum are investors, traders and crypto enthusiasts. That is why, I think doing bounties has a really big impact on ICO's success. Social media also has a big role on their success, that is why if bounty participants are restricted, the project will get lesser attention.

the more participants then ICO marketing through bounty is becoming increasingly widespread. but for the moment this happens is many multi accounts and also spam which appears because of too many participants. at least a restriction of participants can be a solution to make the bounty can be fair and quality. even the strict regulation of the bounty has also become a good thing to do for the sake of the progress of the bounty and the forum as well.

Of course bounty hunters have a good influence on the project is doing , and besides I don't think the bounty from participants because of this merge!

Bounty hunting and in effect Bounty hunters is a key sector in the crypto industry. It is for this reason that almost every project dedicates a portion of their resources towards bounties. The help job offered by bounty hunters cannot be overemphasised. Bounty hunters bring much needed advertising and marketing to the would be investors or potential investors. Traditional advertising means will costs the project hundreds of thousands of dollars but with bounty hunting, they spend little or nothing since payments are mostly made in form of project tokens. Bounty hunters are responsible for this and pull in tons of investments to the project which otherwise will be extremely difficult to come by. So yes, bounty hunters and their jobs have enormous effect to the success of any project.

Agree with you, you can see that the bounty hunter is more connected to the crypto community than when advertising with Twitter or Facebook. It goes directly to the investors and those who are interested in ICO projects

It seems to me that the campaign bounty should not limit the number of participants because it is not profitable for them and the PR campaign of the project will be much worse

I think social media is good its twitter and facebook just have an important role. the more bounty made sure marketing is increasingly widespread and not only in this forum only. though indeed there are at least a restriction of participants so as to make the bounty hunter also could receive a larger payment because if too many participants will be influential on the outcome of the bounty it brings.

Of course bounty participants have an influence on the success of a project even though it is not entirely, because they indirectly promote the ongoing project and certainly with the promotion will be able to attract investors to join

But in this case, the participants may become too much and then they will receive a very small payment. So I think it’s necessary to limit the number of participants.

Some projects do not run a bounty but they do airdrop to increase the number of communities from the project, if they want the project to run well, they can run a bounty with a pretty good budget. For many participants who participated there was no one disappointed.

Bounty Hunter still plays a very important role, I think it is related to the success of the sale ico. but there are indeed some who do not carry out bounty campaigns, but the work of the team must be very hard by doing huge advertising to get investors. and it could have been a large amount of funds spent, even greater than making a bounty campaign.

I think it would be better if we are able to makes every bounty participant to avoid selling their coins directly the first time the coins listed in the market, that way should be able to control the price for not dropping when it listed in the market for the first time.

Member of the bounty company. could affect the project. For example, the majority of Bautista, sell tokens of the project immediately upon receipt. This affects the price of the token.

A bounty campaign can be what determines whether a coin is going to do well or not, it depends on how well that the bounty campaign is executed to make sure that they get across to the kind of investors that they are looking for to invest in their project. I do think that if there is some kind of limit on a project then it can lead to better results from the bounty participants

Bounty hunters have a huge influence on new projects, because hunters are their main promoting power that allow the project to collect more funds and maybe to reach their funding goals. Without bounty hunters it would be difficult to achieve a soft cap on this market.

Bounty hunters play an important role in the advertising and promoting  a new campaign.  It is not good if there are too much of hunters in a campaign  as the quality is more important then the quantity in this case. It is true that many hunters dump their coins immediately as it is listed on exchanges but it does not effect the price long term as bounty rewards are usually 1-2% of the total supply.

Yes, it was indeed true. too many participants that join will give the amount of the fee is small. at the very least need to be restricted to this case in order to be paid remains in the amount proportional to the jobs that exist. not to mention when it is extended and the number of participants continues to grow naturally makes the results more and more refined.

Perhaps you will be surprised, but bounty hunters bring little benefit to the promotion of the project. Their contribution to the project promotion and attraction of new investors is minimal. What is needed then the participants of the bounty? They increase traffic on social networks, promote the project hashtag in the search query, but nothing more.

Some times one have to check the negative effects of something to be able to judge the actual advantage, check the times when bounty hunters negatively advertised some products... You see the product going down... I believe the bounty hunters have influences that is so great it cannot be measured

Influence is pretty huge, but hunters can be as helpful and as well as a disaster for a project. If an ICO restricts to pay their earnings, the bounty hunters will destroy the image of the whole project and the team.

Well, it is up to the team as to how they would treat the bounty participants because if they would just do what they promise then the bounty participants would do their job in promoting the project and then if they would decide to not pay them then it would just reflect that they may just be a scam team and their intention is really to just get money from people and then run away thereafter. Bounty participants are influential because they are the key so that the information about the ICO can reach as many people as they can.

The fewer people the more salary, the fewer people the less the project is promoted! But some kind of limitation should be.

I think bounty hunters really have a great role of promoting their project and to get more investors that will make the campaign get their success in the estimated time. And I think it would be great if all the bounty manager get what is their exact rewards on the campaign they participated because some of the ICO's don't give what really the allocated rewards to the participants sometimes.

1. The only investors that bountyhunters can find are those, who visit bitcointalk i guess. And some small part from twitter and facebook.
2. The more participant - the more info spreads.

Bounty campaign - the easiest way to promote project without heavy expenditures. The main problem is that there are many bounty hunters, so rewards aren't so good, as it used to be. So, bounty managers should complicate the rules and also fix the number of participants

Bounty hunters have huge influence as they give the huge promotion to any new ICO through their social media networks but limiting participation have no effect on dumping as bounty share always fixed to nearly 1 or 2% of total sale and if will be distributed to participants as per their stakes so no effect of limiting participation.

I think there has to be some standards set for bounty hunters. Not all should be allowed to come and join. I think the jr rank should be made compulsory for everyone to join any bounties.

that's right, it should not be a bounty hunter who is a scapegoat in the event of a dumping of an ICO project, because it is seen from the allocation that only a few percent will not have a major impact on the price of the coin.

1. How influential is this bounty participant for a new project?-I think this is a rhetorical question.Because without the participants of the bounty any project will be a failure.
About second question,i don't agree with you here.Yes, with a smaller number of participants in the bounty, they will be paid more. But what’s the point of reducing participants in the bounty for the project itself.It is better to pay $ 10 hundred people than to pay $ 100 only to 10 people.The fact is that for more effective advertising you need a large number of people and in the end for any startup it does not matter how much the participant will eventually get a bounty. The main thing that the startup has collected the amount that is needed for further development.

I have questions

Bounty participants can do the advertisement that any mainstream media can't do.
With the power of social media, youtube and some other forum people will be reach through posting and promotions.
Bounty participant will increase the number of member in ICO telegram.
Hunters will give more number of Like and Follow to the social media account of the ICO team.

Participants are being restricted because of...
In twitter they have fake followers or low audit.
In signature campaigns the account of the participants have red trust or newbie in rank.
If an ICO has their KYC a participant can't participate because he or she is within the restricted country (citizen)

As a whole, they are influential especially if they are big names and with a lot of followers in their social media, writers can affect the future of any ICO because their blogs are index by the search engines, if they restrict participants I don't think it can affect, as long as they only pick bounty hunters with good reputation and quality posters.

The influencial of bounty participant is a very huge impact to all of us, because bounty participants advertised the project through signature campaign they will carry it in the whole project period. If the bounty participant will be restricted I think the affect of it in the success of a new project was a few invetor will notice about the project, because most of investors are relying to the opinions of bounty participants.

most top-ranked or intelligent hunters fall into limited bounty and can do more good and do their job better, most likely it’s so
A large number of participants does not mean that the project will be more successful.
quantity is not equal to quality

I've checked all the bounty campaign that I am in, and allocation is from 1 to 5 % only of the supply, the biggest supply comes from the developers and investors, investors are the one likely to dump more because they are the one who has a huge supply.

I believe that the participants in the bounty have a positive effect on the dissemination of information about the ICO project. But with an unregulated large number of participants, their reward in the companies of bounty social networks is very small. Also, despite the fact that the reward is 1-3% of the total pool of coins, the influence of the bounty participants on the value of the coin of projects after entering the stock exchange cannot be critical.

for me bounty participants were very influential on the project because with the bounty they were able to market and run the project to be successful.
Bounty participant restrictions will not affect the project if managed by a team that is great in their field.

The things you say like wanting to reform the system and thereby to bring newcomers to the crypto better understand it. It's too hard for them, it's better to be someone who helps and slowly find out better than to let yourself go, as this is the wrong market that will cost you money ::)

It seems to me that influence of bounty participants is extremely low.
Most of them make simple actions like reposts and likes and for me it is unacceptable seeing this , there is lack of effect

I think the bounty hunters have helped a lot for a project. Without these people, the ICO project would not have a huge community and would not be able to get tens of millions of dollars.
Managers often disregard bounty hunters when the token sale ends. We should feel sorry for the bounty hunters instead of blaming them.

Actually, what you stated above is the advantage and disadvantage of too much bounty participants in a project. The advantage of too much participants is the information about the project will spread quickly because of too much number of bounty hunters that will going to promote it while the other one is the disadvantage. For me, bounty program is the most essential way to promote projects and if the bounty participants will be restricted , I think it not a good idea, it is better to regulate them than restrictions.

I think for the bounty participants, they didn't like them growing, but for the project and management team, it is really essential to hire many bounty participant for the project to grow further.

To be honest, bounty does not help too much for their project. There are too many fake accounts and not many real users. The effect of the bounty has dropped a lot compared to before. And their projects will be difficult to reach to real users, now the bounty also seems to have ended

right, I really agree with you, this can harm people who really work well, many people cheat and take advantage of other people's work.
I think limiting the number of participants can be the solution, besides limiting the number of participants, the prize will be greater if the project is successful.

It is really true that more bounty participants, more chances that the project will likely to succeed. They need bounty hunters but bounty hunters doesn't want other bounty hunters that is the worse part in the bounty hunting industry.

Bounty hunters have a great influence on success of the ICO campaigns, because this type of advertising catch the eye of potential investors, especially signatures on this forum.

Bounty hunters could affect on the ICO and to helping it grows and becomes more popular , So as the bigger number of participants the project gets known more but also the bigger number of participants means less stake for every one , it must be a trade off between those two .

Bounty Hunters are important in my opinion. The more people who spread information about the company is better.

I agree with your opinion, bounty hunter has a positive effect on the development of the project introducing ICO to public, so they know about the project. I think the allocation of coins / tokens is given to bounty hunters, the percentage is very small from the total coins / project tokens, so I don't think it has too much influence on the price of coins

To hold a bounty could be a great marketing decision to promote your project and to get a lot of contributors, but you should be very careful with the bounty budget, because if it is going to be too high, it will cause the price decrease after the first listing.

Of course, the bounty participants have a very positive impact, Bounty participants can support and promote the ICO project. But, I think the number of them should be controlled so they will get appropriate compensation from their work.

The most important thing when carrying out a bounty for developers is not to make a reward more than 3 percent of the total number of tokens, since otherwise it affects the price of the token very ruinously when entering the exchange. And the number of participants for the project is the more the better, but it is desirable that there were no scammers.

I think in 2017, hunters influenced much more than now, at the moment, for the most part a lot of spam than advertising , I think that you need to do only quality advertising to projects received more funds in the ico

I believe that everything depends on the project / bounty of the campaign, the manager and the established rules. Because bounty campaigns can set strict rules, and the managers of these campaigns can strictly control spam and check fraudsters.

depends on the project, if they have famous people which can be used for advertising! however I can't talk about the influence of bounty hunter, but surely they have a little influence for the project to keep the community is active

The main effect that bounty hunters create is the increase in noise or popularity around a project; this allows attracting the attention of investors who can see the project among many others.

I am one of the many bounty participants ... so I want to respond to the above question that the influence of bounty participants is very small because the allocation for bounty is only in the number 1 to 5% of the 100% supply of tokens ... and if the bounty participant is considered a dumper the price then I think it's wrong ... and in my opinion also for bounty participants don't need to be limited because no matter how many who follow the bounty it won't affect the price of the token

The hunters are a very important and very appropriate reason for the success of any project
And no success without them unless large amounts of advertising were paid
But it is best to have a limited number and precise duties so that the salary is good.
 

The influence of bounty participants on projects is a positive one. Without the bounty hunters most projects won't reach soft cap not to talk of hard cap .

It's a little different. The more participants in a particular bounty company, this means that the project is good, and the limit on the number of participants want themselves bounty hunters, because if the participants too much, then eventually they will all get little money.

Bounty goes hand in hand with ICOs projects, it is necessary to invite bounty hunter to expose the project so that people around the world can see the new project. Not only the bounty hunter cause dump to some project, there's many to that occurrence which can be... bad project management or listing on wrong exchange or bad timing of listing. Therefore, not all dumping is caused by bounty hunter.

The success of a new project depends primarily on its developers. As far as they are famous people and whether they have experience in implementing similar projects.
Bounty campaign participants have only indirect significance and you should never judge the project itself.

I think that the participants in the bounty campaigns greatly help the projects and they really do a great job.

Bounty participant are stakeholders therefore there action, always have an impact on the project,  when bounty hunters are restricted,  it's increase the value of such product.

Bounty hunters play a role in promotion. As a supporter of disseminating information related to a project. Moreover, bounty utilizes various media, such as facebook, twitter, youtube, telegram, blogs, and various websites. I think it's quite effective to increase the selling value of the project.

The larger the community the better the project. But a large number of participants will lead to small payments for the work. I believe that we need a limited number of bounty hunters and it is better to take only those who deserve it. After all, quality always prevails over quantity.

Yes bounty hunters Contributed the most when it comes to success of an ico, I'm pretty sure they introduce in more investors than rating site did. And about the dumping part i belive is just for the investors to blame someone

Bounty participants has impact to the success of the project in it`s promotion.
Sometimes the less is more.
Quality is also important and not only the quantity of the participants. But the whole bounty campaign
should work in synergy with all it`s campaigns.

Usually, a selective and professional bounty manager team will be careful in screening participants. They will only accept truly high-quality content. That gives a pretty good effect. Information dissemination is needed to support the project.

Bounty hunters helping the project by spreading the word in social media or thru blog/video. By spreading the word in social media or forum, hunters introducing the project and to people and i am believe it will affecting on the success of that ICO. But beside the promotion, the project should be interested too

       In the announcement of this forum we can see different ICO projects and it will push on page 1 if there are  many members or guests will going to open the particular thread so it becomes popular for the investor if it is in page 1 , so it is very important  the number of bounty participants who will be going to discuss the white paper of the projects in order to push up to page 1 .

I personally think that Bounty participants are very important because they help the project to be more widely known. The role of Bounty participants is to carry out promotions through Youtube, Social Media, Publishing Articles and Signature Campaigns. All of that aims to get investors so that this project can continue to succeed.

the bounty hunter will have a big effect on the project as this will determine the outcome of a sensible investment. the more extensive marketing certainly produce a better project and this is the important role that belongs to the bounty hunter. regarding the restriction of participants may indeed have to but when the bounty being extended and otherwise restricted of course participants will continue to grow and make the results become increasingly small.

Bounty participants is very important and crucial part in marketing of the projects. Imagine a project without bounties/airdrops, who will help them to increase more awareness in the project. How can the community know that project without the help of this bounty participants? I don't think the project can succeed without of this.

I agree with you mate. Bounty hunters have a big impact and have a big role for the new projects. They will help to make the name of the project be known in social sites and in the bitcointalk forum where potential investors are there. It can also build a community that can caught the interest of big companies to have a good partnership.

Of course, the effect is so great that many people argue that for each Bounty program, the participants are limited. But this will be more interesting with many participants, thus increasing competition. There are also many Bounty projects that limit participants and there are participants with member accounts and above who can join.

the influence of the bounty campaign participants is very much from the existence of bounty campaign which will make an ICO be successful because bounty campaign is a marketing strategy they must work to promote ICO so that many participate in ICO so that the influence will make ICO conditions become successful.

I think rewards should not limit participants. In fact, even if only 10 hunters are allowed for each bounty, the hunter cannot complete all the bounty activities. (I am talking about every bounty)

This means lowering the reward amount. I don't think it's gonna work if they go this way. More participants mean so much advertising. It would be great to limit participants without reducing the amount of the reward for bounty hunters.

Bounty hunters carries the same weight (even more)  as centralized advertising bodies. Bounty hunters are also investors, they have personal or direct contact with investors so they are very influential to the uprising and downcasting of any project

Bounty paticipants makes a huge impact into promotion of the project, it is one of the best ways to make the project popular. At the same time, it is better to have a limited amount of the participants in order to avoid the price dump.

It is really hard  and sad to think that some of the bounty projects now are not that good enough for the bounty participants. Although participants did their best for the campaign  but when it comes of  the reward, theres no value yet, we need to wait for the good exchanges to come up.

For the bounty participants themselves, it’s important that the fewer they are, the more tokens they will receive as rewards.

The more project participants, the more extensive the project's publicity and attention, but this does not explain the authenticity of the bounty activity.

No, bounty hunters hardly contribute anything to an ICO, and that's why they get paid almost nothing. Frankly I don't know why they exist as most of them write empty posts devoid of anything intelligent, have fake Facebook friends and simply copy/paste information from the ICO website and call it a "blog." Then if a token should actually acquire value they immediately dump their stash onto the market.

Probably the most frustrating part is none of them are here to actually learn anything. They learned just enough to operate a wallet so they can get "free money." They don't contribute anything positive to the forum and make it appear is if its 90% advertisements.

if the bounty hunter has no effect then it is not possible if the new project needs it. Bounty hunters play an important role because they promote projects in many places, especially social media.
we can see the number of bounty hunters participating in social media campaigns such as facebook and twiter so that easy projects are known to many people because social media is already very large.

It's better than having to pay advertisements to Youtube and Facebook.
If you know the costs incurred for advertising on Facebook and Youtube is very expensive.



Usually if the limit is because the project already has funds for other ads.
Then also for a small allocation and so that the Bounty Manager is not overwhelmed to handle thousands of participants. LOL

The best strategy to introduce an ICO project is to create a Bounty campaign program, because by holding a Bounty campaign, it is very clear that a project will get a lot of the Crypto community. So that it can make the name of the project increasingly known to the public.

You're so confident of what you've written that it's hard for me to put you out. Most Bounty hunters are scammers who cheat and create lots of accounts. Yeah, the work is hard, and many projects are scammers too! It's sth like an exclusive circle!

Disagree with you. Bounty hunters make a huge contribution to the development of projects. Very good for the project, when a large number of people begin to mention the name of the project in social networks. This increases the conversion in search resources. There is nothing wrong when a hunter sells his tokens is the payment for the work. Many people think that bounty hunters are always to blame for the fact that the price falls. But it's not. A very small percentage is allocated for these awards. Often the reason for the price drop is cheap tokens in the seed phase. Now I recommend all bounty hunters to develop their platforms and increase the level of influence on the audience.

Headhunters as a rule strongly influence the project and seriously help to attract investors!

Bounty hunters are the most important persons they do the marketing for investors to see reasons why they need to invest in that project without bounty hunters then there is no bounty they are the bed rock of any project thanks

I like projects with limited participants. If the participant of generosity is limited, then according to the result, at the end of the campaign, the participants will receive not crumbs, but earn decent money.

I will tell the following about  bounty participants: this is the main engine of the project’s advertising, and it cannot develop properly without bounty hunters.

Allocating bounty rewards can create impact to the new project, bounty hunters brings information to such venue that they've joined the campaign, we do know that social media campaign really brings new investors as even those who are not really familiar with crypto can be penetrated by bounty hunters by sharing post and bring interesting ideas to people who are looking for something to invest with, they can give interest and if the project are convincing enough they will bring additional investors.

Participants in bounty campaigns or bounty hunters play a key role in promoting ICO projects. Firstly, ICO projects practically do not spend their own financial resources on promotion in social networks. Mass references to the project in social networks increase the ranking of the project in Google search results. As a result, there is a natural influx of investors through organic traffic, and the project site becomes trustworthy. If, however, to stop using the services of bounty-hunters, then project developers will have to buy various types of advertising, which will cost immeasurably more expensive.

Bounty hunters are almost a free labor force that can make a good project marketing without infusion of additional project funds. What could be better?

Limiting the number of participants is beneficial primarily for bounty hunters.
Bounty on social networks - of course, for the project, better dissemination of information about it, respectively, more representatives

When it comes to the price of a token going down at the time of first listing, it is not the work of bounty hunters. Most time it is always done by those that bought the token during private sale and presale. The token allocation of bounty participants is not enough to destroy the price of a project.

I think the prize participants are important for every new ICO project because they are the frontline of ICO to disseminate projects using that avatar.
they help the project to reach as many people as possible and some of them will become investors.

I believe that the participants of the bounty greatly influence the project and a lot of creeping things bring him

You are right. By providing bounty allocations I think the development team can benefit from the existence of a community formed from social networks, this has a big impact. This means that more and more who provide information related to the project will often appear and become popular. Moreover, social media, blogs, etc. are quite popular, if there is a large scale, the range of information dissemination will be very effective.

the overwhelming majority of the participants in the bounty campaigns bring absolutely no benefit to the project, so I think that this is not quite correct; such a huge number of useless participants

what do you mean about the more bounty participants the better the new project was? it's all about marketing, the more the bounty participant maybe because of  a few reasons, maybe because the rewards is lucrative enough so many people tempted to join it. Maybe some people find it the rule for the bounty easier etc.

Well, this perception might be wrong, because bounty participants are not the only and main cause of dump. Have we even talked about private investors, promoters, even the team of the project. Not all bounty hunters dump.

An influence of bounty participants can't be overestimated.
On the other hand I think most of them are fake accounts,so better sort out quality participants and work only with them.

basically, bounty hunters are supposed to be more of goodnews bearers to people that preach the idea and the goodwill of the project to reality, because people need to be properly informed and also be properly educated on the information and also most times the ideas are not spread to most regions of  densely populated investors and there is need to capture those set of investors as there is also goodies for them to benefit from

Although the bounty campaign help to push project publicity to investors through the social media but than there are so many project that never us the bounty hunter for their product publicity and they succeed but still facing the dump issues because even investors are dumping more the bounty hunters.

It is bounty hunters who promote the project and almost free of charge, so I think that you should not underestimate their role in the promotion of projects.

I really believe that today bounty hunters are of great importance for the successful development of each project. They provide successful advertising, attract the attention of participants and investors. Without their participation, the project can fail, does not receive the necessary resources for development.

The roles of bounty hunters cannot be ignored in the promotion of ICOs project. Bounty hunters are the one that use their time and skills to promote the project to potential investors at a very cheap price that projects can't get anywhere. In fact, bounty hunters deserve a high degree of respects in the industry.

Yes, the truth is that the influence of bounty hunters in a project can't ignore and if there are many participants, I think it is a plus to the project because it will make the marketing to go more viral and reach far places. But be that said, there should be a limit to how many hunters can participate in a bounty in order to make the reward more satisfactory to hunters.

Bounty participants can greatly affect the project, but the projects in which the number of participants is limited will be valued more!

I think the rewards assigned to bounty hunters through bounty activities are very cheap and not enough to seriously affect the price of the token when the hunter is sold.

I think the bounty participants only have a positive impact on the development of the project. First of all, due to the fact that they make active advertising of the project in various media in the form of posts, articles and video reviews. This gives a potential investor to understand the essence of the project. A reward that is paid to the participants of the bounty is very small, usually 1-5 percent of the total issue. It is impossible to influence the token rate with this amount of coins. In addition, not everyone will immediately sell

The bounty participants have little to do with the project itself. When the ICO project loses too many investors, the bounty hunter is almost impossible to survive. Now the cryptocurrency market downturn has caused many bounty hunters to disappear.

Bounty hunters are playing a major role in the projects promotion company. If a bounty was successful, there is almost 100 percent guarantee that the project will reach its fundraising goals. Thats why projects should be very careful with bounty hunters.

Agree. Bounty hunters have a huge impact on the advertising of the ICO project, as well as they can make a bad opinion about the project that reduce the bounty payment.

There are a few things that have been misunderstood about dumping of coins by the bounty hunters. Not all bounty hunters dump coins. And the coins that have been given to the bounty hunter is very small compared to the coins that are really available for the users. So I think it should be understood that no matter how many bounty hunters are present, they are still limited by the amount to be given and thus dumping should not be blamed more on the hunters themselves because they can never dump what they don't have except when they are investors as well but this is another side of the story.

You need to know, bounty it's like marketing strategy of a project to introduce the project to public so that they can decide to invest in the project. Indeed the participation of members who join the bounty being debated. As a bounty hunter of course they will want restrictions on participants in order to reward that they can also not getting smaller, the fact is when so many bounty partisipant it will reduce the reward. For influence, bounty very great effect because bounty hunter described as marketing team and will pay with tokens of these projects. To the restriction of region does not seem will get bad effect because it is precisely thinking wisely by team ico in order to avoid the bad possibility.

I don't think it will affect as long as the bounty hunter can deliver a lot of leads to the ICO, but in my opinion, it is better to have as many bounty hunters joining a campaign because the developers want more leads, traffic, and visibility, this will convert to success

actually boutny is only used to form a community, developers don't ask for more than that
Bounty participants were only told to create content and then fulfill related keywords on the Google search engine
so far, bounty participants are only paid no more than 5% of the total supply tokens, while the team and developers get a larger allocation
some quality content from bounty hunter, is likely to be appointed as a media advertisement by developers
because I know, that bounties are only needed to form a community

Bounty participants can influence on engagement of ICO in a positive way, also bounty hunters can be investors at the same time.
I invested several times being a bounty participant

Yeah but they also do things like hack and buy legendary accounts to shill for questionable Ethereum token projects such as the one in your signature space. Then when they do, they write uninteresting, mindless jibberish that's been typed on this forum a thousand times before... How is that supposed to appeal to anybody? Its not. They're just like those guys who hold signs of arrows outside of businesses and flip them around, which requires about the same amount of intellect.

All right. Headhunters can positively influence new ICO, and therefore very important for the project!

Bounty hunters play a key role in project marketing. Where else can you find cheap and high-quality translation of technical documentation, website and announcement branches. Maybe social networks are not as effective, but everything else really benefits the project.

Nope I dont think so, participant bounties certainly have a big influence on the development of the project, without them, who will promote their project in forums, social media and so on? of course if they only rely on their team to promote, the spread will be very lacking #imo

Bounty campaigns are really helpful to promote ICO. This is not good to say that because of bounty people selling price dumps. If project is good then bounty token does not make more effect in dumping because most of time bounty have 1% of total tokens.

Bounty campaigns are helpful when you need mouth publicity rather than PR stunts.

- Indeed, participants in bounty are really human resources for the advertising of the project, with a reasonable reward, they can help the project spread at a dizzying pace, they can even contribute a lot of interesting ideas to build the project, if the project without their appearance, that would be a major omission. However, some of them are factors that make the value of the project decrease when they use the bounty as a tool, search for fraudulent methods to accumulate more rewards, then dumping and ruining the whole project

Bounty hunters help promote projects and by far the most effective way of advertisement for blockchain startups. Unfortunately, some of these projects don't value the work of bounty hunter. In reference to dumping, investor do dump not bounty hunters alone.

dont always blamed bounty hunter as the main factor that make price dumped in market.dont forget with seed contributor that get highest discount in ico , they could sell their bonus to get profit immediately.

Bounty hunters have a big influence in promoting an ICO project, most investors choose projects that have many people promote it and having many bounty hunter also raise the credibility of an ICO project.
limiting bounty participants won't solve the problem of dumped prices when ICO tokens enter market, limiting participants have a good and bad impacts, if limiting for choosing the quality of participant who promote it than that's good, but if they limit the participants based on who registered first then it just the same, since quality is better than quantity.

I also wonder why dumps on tokens released on the market are always linked to bounty participants, because of the results they get and then sell. while the budget of 1-2% of the total token is a very small amount

I think that a large number of participants in the bounty makes sense only when the market is in a very active phase. Then the number of people involved in it makes more sense than now when the market is in decline.

Well everything comes with it merit and demerit, so there is the need for you to way it before taking bold decision. Although most  of the you raised might be true but ask yourself can the project go on without any bounty participants, and what can the participants bring to the project.

Bounty campaign participants, greatly contribute to the success of a project.
spread ICO information through social media, and attract investors to come.

Thats why their team must be clever in allocating the right funds for bounty, the allocation of tokens should not be too large for participants because the risk is that many of them will dump and destroy their project market, use the right allocation for reward

Bounty hunters influence is big in cryptocurrency.  Do you know more than fifty percent of bounty hunters also invest in the campaign they are involve with?  In reality,  bounty hunters are also an investors,  so project should not mess with them!

I think the more bounty participant isn't going to be able to decide if the project is good or not, what bounty participant do is helping the promotion of a project so it will be known by investors. And what decide the success of a project would be the quality of the project itself and the usage of that project in the future.
So the amount of participant can't be used to judge a project will be success or not, even with small participant a project can be success.

The good and bad of the project are in the team that creates and runs it, both of which must be balanced. Projects that are designed in such a way that if they are not balanced with good performance, they will experience difficulties in running and reaching the targets of their goals. The project will be even better if he gets many sources from many investors. In my opinion, the number of participants who are restricted is also good, so the team can allocate the final results more clearly, both in terms of quantity and quality of tokens.

Indeed this bounty hunter has a very big influence, but it does not always blame the bounty hunter when the price of the ICO coin falls. I see that there are only a few token allocations for hunter prizes in each ICO project. But if ICO participants are restricted, I personally agree because it can increase competition.

the new project will require participants to bounty could make it be great. the more participants will be able to make the project into a huge, but of course, the allocation will become less and less because it shared with the participants. If the project is limited will probably look good but at least it should also be a reasonable limit because if it is too good at all will have no impact on the running of the project.

I agree to most of statements that bounty is very important as this is one way of getting more exposure to this forum which is most investors and known crypto people are in and in social medias which may get investors. And I dont think bounty hunters will create dump since most bounty allocation is like 1-3% of supply which is very small amount.

Where did you get that information if more than 50% of them are also investor? Afaik most of bounty hunters don't want invest their money because they don't want to risk their money on market like this

Bounty hunters are very important to a certain project because it is a good source of marketing and this will likely attract investors and make the project successful. On the other hand the more bounty participants the lesser the bounty payment would be.

Bounty participants ensured wide coverage, promotion and marketing of ICOs thus there influence cannot be overemphasized this had been producing result that is why considerable percentage of tokens is allocated to bounties with the help of this forum, social media, blogging and YouTube .

Indeed, the number of bounty participants participating in the campaign can affect the price of an ICO, and the number of participants after getting the results of the bounty they throw it in the exchange, and as a result the price of the ICO goes down, if I'm personally better than the results of our bounty trade and maximize profits.

Bounty participants play a big role in ICO's marketing. If there's no bounty program, the ICO won't get published well. Limiting the bounty participant's number will have no effect on avoiding the dumper as bounty reward is fixed but i agree to limit the participants in order to get decent reward for each participant.

Many new ICO has been released and it has become commonplace for a bounty hunter to join. And this bounty hunter can certainly influence the success of the ICO. With them campaigning through social media or signature campaigns. With that promotion will help get investors.

Of course the bounty participants have an important influence on the success of a project, because the task of a participant is to promote an ongoing project and of course this also affects investors who will join in a particular project

The influence of Bounty participants is very large in the success of an ICO project, because with Bounty hunters an ICO project will be publicly delivered on a large scale, so that it can potentially attract Investors into a project. Because with the Bounty campaign the project information was conveyed well.

50% is not correct! Probably small percentage of investors are hunters as well. To tell you honestly if I really like the project I'll surely invest some to it. But I agree that devs should not mess with hunters as they may create FUD's or make something bad if not paid.

The more participants will be better for the ICO team as more influencer will share and do post about the project and its ICO.
More number of people to advertise the longer the range it will reach.



Bounty participants should not join any ICO with out reviewing the project and its ICO.
You should study well and by doing that, You will know if you will be on restricted zone.

in my opinion the influence of bounty hunter is very large in the development of a new project, because the investors are continuously carried out by bounty hunters through facebook, twitter, youtube and others.
too many bounty participants will make the allocation of prizes decrease, often there are also participants who commit fraud such as registering bounties of more than one account. so restrictions on bounty participation in order to reduce cheating committed and prizes are divided equally.

I think with ICO projects, bounty hunters have no small role to help to introduce and advertise projects closer to investors. Forthcoming, there may have stricter regulations for bounty hunters

Bounty participants are just like promoters. If you’re starting a business and you want it to be successful you will have to do promotion for that business. So bounty participants are very important cause they are ones who help to promote the ICO and make it known and also attract investors who will then invest in the project.

Hunters are not particularly needed for large companies and they mostly cost one advertising but for the usual team of bounty is an indispensable cheap tool.

At the moment, I do not believe that the participants strongly influence the success of the ipo, now there is a lot of spam and little effective advertising from them

i think the influence of the bounty hunters on ICO is very great since this is a huge advertisement for the project and, moreover, many hunters also take part in investing the project.

The influence of participants on the bounty is certainly important because this concerns ongoing projects, promotions carried out by bounty participants will certainly boost the popularity of the project itself and this also affects investors who will join

I think this thread has single-handed proven that bounty hunters aren't very key to the success of a project. Most of you regurgitate the same words over and over again; there's very little originality in the things any of you have to say and I don't know why people would ever click on the signature beneath your text. ICOs continue to offer bounties as a cheap way of advertisement but without quality control they're just as likely to have a negative effect on the outcome of their project as a positive.

I don't think there are more and more bounty hunters. I think this profession is declining. The massive failure of ICO projects has led to the disappearance of bounty hunters. Now cryptocurrency market hunters have already faced a crisis of survival, and they may have gone bankrupt.

I think the number of bounty participants means the attractiveness of bounty activities, which also means that the project is more reliable. But this does not mean that it is absolutely true and legal.

My opinion is that the bounty participants do not bring tangible Influence to the project. neither here nor twitter twitter

First of all prices drops faster then boutny participants recieve their tokens.
Second limiting is good, but what to do with participants who join and do their job bad ?

Limiting is tantamount to saying that the ICO will surely a success and to limit the dump, they will release a small portion of the coins or tokens.
It does not work that way, most ICO prefers a lot of participants so they have better exposure, bounty are compose of different task to spread in the crypto world. The only reason why people complain now is because no one is buying and bounty hunters are dumping, this also affect the bounty hunters as they will receive a lesser value than their expectation.

Let's go back when the market is fully recovered, we will see that bounty has a little effect or no effect at all.

I am sure that bounty hunters are really of great importance for the work and development of the project. Especially at the initial stage of development. After all, they are able to draw attention to the selected company, help develop the community and attract the necessary investments for the successful development of the platform.

lol how can you say that ? look at you , you are also a bounty hunter because you are carrying a sig and you are working towards the success of your  chosen bounty .  do you think you are not helpful ?  if yes , then youd better quit applying bounties because you dont expect to get paid anyway .

you know mate you arent the only one that promotes the project becuase there are 100's of users that work on a specific bounty and all of them actually drives a traffic and exposure to the project itself .

Bounty hunters are indeed important because they are part of the promoter of a project, if there is no bounty hunter then there is a high probability that there will be no project. However, keep in mind that not all bounty hunters can make a project successful, it depends on the project itself. If the team offers a project with promising potential or functions that can make cryptocurrency continue to grow, then to promote the projecg does not require many bounty hunters, the team / developer can limit each participant for only the legendary rank and member hero and You can see on several projects.

Participants of the bounty companies have a huge impact on the project itself through media resources, it is useful in cases when projects do not pay bounty rewards and many participants of bounty companies create a lot of videos and topics for discussion with uelia to bring projects to clear water.

Marketing do really have huge impact on Projects success.We know on how bounty program works which do scattered out the projects awareness.
There are still some marketing ways but I do see this is much more effective than on simple internet ads or banners and also project owners shouldn't
mess up with bounty hunters because once you haven't paid up on bounty tokens you will surely ruin your projects reputation.

Internet ads and banners are also good addition aside from bounty campaigns because anyone online can see your ads , while on bounty campaigns usually they are only targeting social media and forum sites   . other bounties might not pay with their tokens but they dont really care about thier reputation because they intented to do it in the name of scamming  .

@elitemobb , what do you mean when you say uelia ?  Anyway this isnt the first time i heard unkown words  .

You know what, if the bounty hunters are not useful for sure they won't hire any of them and there will be no bounty campaigns too.
But why there is bounty campaign, it is because the owner of the ICO campaign project knew it will give them a big help and will lead them to success in the end. In short, bounty hunters are really good influences and they are all valuable too.

They are getting their rewards for their work and they were simply doing it for making money so blaming them for selling your token is not a right thing,if still project owner wants they can pay them on other crypto currencies too.

Just a part of a business where promotions and advertisement have an allocated funds which came up from the actual sales, the bounty participants can do attract new investors and gained their interest to invest with new created projects, awareness is what the developers needs to let the community knows about the existence of the project that's why they hire bounty hunters to promote and advertise their business.

Investors often get their extra information from bitcointalk because it gets opinions from other people that aren't connected to the project. Signatures attract these people, especially from full members and above as they are more colourful. Bounties are useful, but not as the only form of marketing

Some serious investors are still here in the forum who constantly checks what is going on in the crypto space and with the bounty hunters making the discussion healthy, they get exposed or aware with the new project and will check it.

For me, it's better to have less participants with good quality than hundreds of them spamming each other that will annoy potential investors.

This is the best marketing for crypto projects so bounty participants are important when someone want to promote their project here but the sad fact is that bounty hunters are not getting enough rewards for promotion of project at most of the time.

Having a Quality type of members is much preferred but most projects would focus out to have more exposure thats why they dont matter if they do have lots or limitless
count or participants as long it do widespread on the entire forum.Spamming is inevitable and always been a problem ever since.

All ways to market a bounty will obviously be done so that investors are interested in investing their money in the project being implemented, the allocation has also been thought to finance all bounties that will be carried out without having to burden them later, there must also be some who limit or even free up. all depends on the team and the bounty manager sees the need or not. certainly the Influence of Bounty Participants are needed for a project.

Indeed, today bounty has become an effective and affordable way to successfully promote a project. After all, it is enough to spend a few percent of the budget to get effective advertising. I am confident of the huge role of bounty hunters for the stable work and development of most projects.

For now a lot of type of bounty campaign really help a project to get spreaded. Because there are a lot of platform that we can use to do it like content campaign in medium or maybe social media like twitter that contains a lot of information about crypto in there.

Last year we have seen many projects are dead without any payments to the bounty hunters and this makes many bounty participants already left the Bitcointalk because they don't want to waste their precious on bounties. It is because of the waste companies launching their bounties and raising the money to cheat the investors.

We bounty hunters are very influential because we can spread to the word and creat awarness about the projects, that can lead the investor to see what we have promoted and they invest on it 

Even the most investor cryptocurrency are member bitcointalk itself, this is which make signature campaign and other promoting way which is in bitcointalk still running. If the impact or the result of bounty campaign and signature campaign is little then the both ways will gone since a long time ago but that is not happened. Someone's benchmark before he choose a coin for his investment he will look first what the project is in this forum and also if the coin running bounty campaign then they will see first the bounty manager.

bounty hunters can determine the success of a new online-based project. Without a promo or gift meal the project will get very few participants, social media today is a bridge between the world which can interact with each other so the project will be famous through a community of bounty hunters who market products  crypto company company

We have already experienced many from the different companies about the bounty payments, simply after the conclusion of the ICO they won't bother about the people who promoted their ICO, that's why many people asked for tokens to be in the escrow. Even it is waste keeping those coins in Escrow if the company don't wish to develop the product how can bounty people will make money on it.

Bounty hunters are very important here for every project campaign that will appear here in crypto world especially on bitcointalk.
Without them for sure the success of the project has a very low chances to be happen, this is the reality things that We need to accept were bounty hunters has a big part for each project.

Most important in a new project in crypto is the bounty hunters. Without the influence of the bounty hunters the project will not properly promoted olin this forum and all social media. About second question, very infavor because the lesser the participants the more profits will gain of a bounty hunter as the allocation is mostly not so big in bounty campaign.

For projects that have really good potential, only the signature campaign has a huge marketing influence. Every crypto investor I think comes from this forum. It would be better if the campaign manager didn't limit the participants to this campaign both in terms of number and rank.

if a project really do have a good potential then it can stand out even on a small budget advertising or on a simple advertising that is done thru the net and not on this forum or via signature campaign but sig campaigns on the forum are a verry big help especially to those projects that arent really promising .

thats a big no for me . if they wont limit the participants the forum will be bloated of spam from a single campaign and other projects wont be given a chance to shine  .  it can also cause abuse if all ranks are allowed  .

There is a need for careful selection and elimination of undeserving participants because not every entrant is good for your project.
Even high rankers can turn out to be unfaithful individuals who may just try to game your campaign and earn undeserved rewards. A good bounty campaign is as good as its participants and more importantly, its manager.

You are right, without their promotion, it is impossible for them to get succeed in the market. Companies are launching the bounties based on the previous companies have successfully raised money, so the companies should be on their promises and should deliver after the campaign concludes.

Bounty participants has a big influence to spread awareness for the project. If many people participate to promote the particular project then there's a chance to gain the attention of investors especially if the project has potential.

Sometimes its not about the number of participants, as long as the project itself has something to offer that can attract investors to trust then it will succeed.

1. I think it affects between 50-70% of projects because all bounty hunters promote in a variety of ways, maybe investors will glance at their project.
2. it will not fully affect the new project, depending on the project and the team that will run the project and how attractive the project will be.

bounty participants will increase the popularuty of a project by advertising it to diffetent social media sites, with thier advetisement  the project can attract investora to invest on the project.

BM should have the ability to judge posts that are worthy to be given a stake regardless of the participants have been received without regard to their ranking status. It could be said that spammers still don't have the chance to join even if they have a high ranking.

What abuse?

Adab solutions just earned the ire of its bounty participants by cutting over 80% of everyone's rewards, now they are going to get it when these bounty hunters starting to post, tweet and write articles that Adab is a scam site and this exchange should not be trusted.

Cutting 80% bounty amount from their promise before is another scam for bounty hunter. Their reason should be between because their ICO didn't reached hardcap or it's only at softcap

Here is the guy https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1016855

That's a bad decision for them although they think that's a good idea to prevent dumping, but a promise is a promise, they just broke the rules of the game because they mess with the bounty hunters and now they will pay for that action and I don't see a good future of this project.

I don't think it will be work, bounty hunters can't do anything since they can use any excuse to not give them like their promise. Afaik that bounty also asking them to provide KYC, which is unnecessary for me (after they have cut 80% from your reward, would you give your ID to them? Hell no)

Agreed, But giving limits to the count of participants is good. Moreover, most of the time bounty participants always suffered in terms
of distribution payment, they became like beggar in the end begging for their rewards token in the end if ever it has been delayed.

To my mind the work and the share of advertisers should be well-organized, controlled to avoid spam-like overhyped actions. Too much advertising brings much low-quality content arousing harmful consequences for a project.

It will not be the only company to be like this I can tell you,,, and they were not the first. But you can almost tell which company is going to go bust just through the bounty hunters joining them. The way I see it, Adab bounty hunters were all non stop shilling and with no quality to their posts, AND were shilling other projects at the same time. What do you expect the outcome to be like this?

This is the thing i dont like where you do come to a point on where you do beg for your payments which should really be given yet you deserve it for your work.
Most team do make delays or nothing at all when it comes to payment time.It turns to be a waiting game for an unsure payout and come to think that bounty hunters or advertisers is one of the most important on projects exposure.

They didn't beg anything actually, if the dev promised to pay them based on their promise, will the bounty hunter ask when the payment will be start? The problem is, the dev keep delaying their promise and as the result, many bounty hunter keep asking about their payment.

Thats the problem  . they promise to pay on that time but why they delay it ?  This was also the reason why bounty hunters keeps asking if what is the status of their payment . however you are right that ico owners didnt beg for bounty hunters to work with but they only post thier bounty that they will be needing promoters for thier project  .

Bounty hunters can give more influence on the project so they should treat bounty hunters as a professional and not just a dummy that they will leave without payments after the contract is done

Bounty hunters do have the right to claim on what they work for.So its just right to ask about their payment but it turns out that these hunters become beggars in the end.
Keep asking and asking on when until they do surrender and accept that the project gone scam.Typical scenario that do happen on bounty world.
