I have overhead many people in various bounty groups talking about how bounty campaigns are gonna die should we move on from ICO to rampant IEO issuance (maybe the exchanges shall take over the advertisements or so).

Fact is that if IEOs become a thing, many projects will arise and hence the services of bounty hunters shall be required again. Every project needs advertisements to expand and that's why we are there as bounty hunters. This is the same way ICOs grew in number.

All we should hope for is a better crypto ecosystem because at the end, we shall be needed for promotion in one way or the other

Dont worry the promotion are one of a factor need of every project to attract people to patronize their product so ico bounty will never be die just mark to your mind everything gonna be alright.
The big problen is more and more people participant in a bounty campaign a reason to make a reward reduce.

That's right, because until now the ico project has always been the latest even though not so much, but some real companies will always support clear projects, so promotion services for hunters will obviously always be open.

Yes, IEOs aren't threatening, but it's a fact that someone will be a victim in a day. Please be careful when investing, even if Binance IEO. Binance took a beautiful wind behind, but it would not last forever.

I think the IEO is not a threat to the bounty hunter. Various developments that occur today are the dynamics of the technological development process in addition to competition in providing convenience and security in the world of blockchain and crypto. Advertisement is an integral part of the business world and so is bounty campaign.

I hope so, because at this time many people are very disappointed with the state of ICO which does not provide profit and also bounties that do not pay. I hope that in the next few months the IEO or ICO will get better

Thats right, do not worried about IEO. Every new project need advertisement and requires a bounty hunter to promote it. I hope IEO will be better than ICO and reduce scam project.

Don't worry bro !!!, ICO and IEO are the means to find funds in projects built, marketing is a good way to publish ongoing projects, so this project is known to the wider community, but the problem is that many IEOs don't have gift programs, but can't it is denied that Many ICOs are not interested in people's hearts. so marketing is turning to the IEO

IEO gives the more colour for us and that makes investors can trust ico again. Look how the market was getting another up trend for ico again. binance has become the exchange site that created this hype.
it's not a threat for us

A better crypto ecosystem is what we should be talking about and not just what we are going to get immediately in shit coin or very little fraction of btc (as we have seen the price fall.)

Yes, if a better crypto ecosystem is in place, icos will come up with profiting projects that even where you did an advert for them in bounty, you will wish to be paid with the coin and not btc, etheruem or any other established altcoin, then you will hodl and not dump in expectation of increase in price so you can make more gain better than what you would have been paid in bitcoin. That is important and not shit coin bounties.

If all IEO's would succeed that's the time bounty hunters need to worries, as developers and investors will proceed and use such venue instead of
doing any advertisement/promotions, in the other way around it's also the simplest way to start your business and gained investors interest instead
of doing icos where investors trust already been low.

And now we are entering in the age of regulated ICOs.
There are already a number of ICOs being regulated by respective branches of local government in several countries.
Regulated exchanges and regulated ICOs are going to make crypto economics useful for the overall population.

Not all team will want to ask help from the exchange though. ICO will always be here.  Projects will always have to promote themselves in the crowd and this forum is the best audience to promote to.  

But if all team wants to do IEO, they would prefer it to be in a big one like Binance, they'd all be lining to be scheduled too. I don't think a team will prefer their IEO in smaller exchange like livecoin or some other DEX, would they?

I also do not think IEO is a threat the real threat is the scam project, there are too many of them, I don't know if IEO will have a scam project, we'll have to see, there are still a lot of new bounty in the bounty platform and so are here in Bitcointalk, so bounty hunting will stay.

Advertising I think is not necessary , is the responsibility of the exchange to ieo , and therefore the hunters here do not need to be , and much benefit I have seen from hunters

the project always requires a campaign that is impossible to break, promotion is the second support besides investors so there is no need to worry about that, as long as there is still a bounty hunter project still needed

Actually adverting things are does not necessary for the project which is listed on Initial exchange offering. Every project running their promotion phase as bounty, airdrop and etc to attract the investors but here you will get the funds directly.

You are right about IEO not been a threat to bounty hunters. To be sincere I was scared initially, thinking that bounty hunters will be affected by this, but on a second thought I understood the importance of Bounty hunters in creating awareness for projects while campaigning. Many projects will still need the services of Bounty hunters.

The ICOs scam which was rampant was the reason why some project owner switch to IEO in other proof their genuinely to investors but the IEO using doesn't proof the profitable of a project but at least it reduce the risk of been scam. However, we can't decide if the IEO will take over ICO because the number of new project which are base on ICO are huge than IEO.

Absolutely right. There is not such a thought that IEOs will all be successful and there will be no bounty. Today the IEOs in Binance are successful and do not need marketing, and all currencies will not be able to continue with IEO.

Will probably decrease the reward for the bounty and the task, but the bounty is not going anywhere.

Come on, why it comes first to mind when something is not right in the project? Bounty hunters are like third world countries in treatment by others and bounty payments are usually decreased in such cases.

It is because nowadays it is something very special to be a hosted IEO on Binance, but once the number increases significantly other measures for marketing maybe required again.

You are very right. I am not scared of the IEOs. I am even optimistic that with it we shall be having more quality projects to campaign in future. Less scams, etc.

Don't say some other promotion is going to better than bitcointalk,I can bet the bitcointalk will always bring more crypto related investors than on trading platforms because there where people come to trade but the real investors won't trade at all.

Yes that is true I don't have the right data but I guess it's 2 out 10 ICO there are still many projects that go for the usual ICO where they hired bounty hunters to do their marketing, but if the scamming continues we will have a big reverse, which means the number of IEO will be greater than ICO.

They can be a threat if investors will continue to support IEO as a safe investment, it's hard for investors to find a legit and profit from these so many ICO and they want a crowdfunding that will take out the hassle of researching if the project is good or not, and investors wants a ready market right away.

There will certainly be a lot of bonus campaigns in IEO projects because most ICO projects are now looking to get listed on large exchanges so that more goals can be easily achieved. I believe that this will limit a lot of risks to investors because they can choose a lot of good projects so if there is a chance the bounty hunter will also benefit from these projects.

I agree, IEOs are not a threat to bounty campaigns. That was two different things, every projects need the help of the community to advertise their project in different social media platforms and spread awareness as well on what their project can offer.

Calmly today can really show good chances for your future deposit. Of course, there are so many opportunities for the current situation, and I think IEO in the future will be much more beneficial for use than for example ICO

That sounds so ridiculous, where does that idea come from? No matter how they chose to raise their fund, ICO, IEO, or STO? They will still need advertising, in any kind, and promotion in social media by real people is one of the best options. And this forum is the biggest forum for Cryptocurrency. IEO is just the same as ICO, it just facilitated by an exchange.

IEO will be successful until the first disastrous project appears that will bring losses to investors, after this happens IEO’s popularity will be equal to ICO. Exchanges today enjoy the "Skim strategy", due to the new idea of initializing tokens.

In the event of a project failure or deception of investors, this will greatly harm the exchange  of which IEO was conducted. I think big exchanges are hardly to let it be. And they will carefully select projects before being placed on their platform.

Yes, right, maybe a lot of projects are listed on their IEO on the "Binance" big exchange, but I think that there is a selection to go there so ICO will always be there if the IEO is rejected in the big market.

Why should they be a threat to investors? If a well known exchange hosts an offering you can at least expect that exchange to have done some thorough checks on that project. If Binance does an ICO I would feel better than participating in some random ICO.

When a coin does IEO, the coin only gets exposed to the investors on that particular exchange so hunters will still be needed to spread the good news about the project on other forums.

Maybe the IEO The bounty hunter is a threat but this is a good step for the future of crypto. But that does not mean that the bounty hunter is completely dead, there are still airdrops or the like. Even now they have many platforms that give place for bounty hunter, right? Like steemit where we write then get an incentive when we receive a vote or other platforms (it's a lot, I can't say one by one). Well, the community should be happy because a large exchange has begun to integrate IEO instead consider this as a threat.

Bounty campaigns were always at the expense of buyers - they happened because ICO projects didn't really lose anything from having one. With IEO-s the exchange doesn't have any interest in initiating one.
The hope for bounties is the failure of IEO-s, with Binance not letting anyone in their IEO-s it is not impossible

So you mean after the project is already in the market, they can still hire bounty hunters for the continuation of marketing, I think this is even better because of potential investors and bounty hunters will not have to wait for the coin to get listed, they can trade it anytime,, I have seen it many coins like XTENCOIN and CCN where they still do bounty campaign even after they are already in the market.

Very few projects will need marketing because if a project launch on a popular exchange, that exchange will work as their marketing, nothing extra will be required. So, I don't think bounty hunters have a good future. It's better for the forum too. No signature bounty spammers will be here to write thousands of comments.

You are right saying we will have a big reverse which the reverse is already happening except we bounty hunters to do little from our own end to flush out these scammers which I believe that in our own little way we can do to and how can we help, we should not rush in joining a campaign and helping them promote these scam and shitcoins which will in turn backfire for us too by wasting our time.

We need to thoroughly study the project just like an investor would, check the teams out, make our findings about them, reject the ones we are not satisfied with and so on, we could also create a group for bounty hunter to discuss about projects and make recommendations.

Every project coming into the world and wishes to get a good audience needs marketing, which bounty hunters do with different channels and medium. That is to say, so far there are upcoming projects there will continue to be bounties.

Not necessarily a "fact". With or without IEOs, many new projects will still come out.

It is true that every project needs advertisements but let's not forget that there are many forms of advertisement. The more projects go directly to established exchanges for IEOs, the higher the chance that bounty hunters will be less needed.

you are right, because now more and more of ico is done on the Exchange, and it makes bounty hunter jug must not be required. they do very little promotion but the impact is quite remarkable.

You are absolutely right.  Most important point is, I have seen many project offering IEO still do a bounty campaign for awareness purposes.  So I don't think the bounty campaigns are threatened in any way. Also, not every project will choose to go with the IEO

ICO, STO, IEO these are just the same it only matters with the project management on how serious they are, the goal is not trying to make some money, how useful is their project, etc. Other exchanges IEO is not the same as binance the impact is different, given that binance has a high reputation already.
however, the current IEO of binance it looks like a money-making event everyone wants to join for profits some is not even interested in the project.

If a project is very much interested of expanding themselves in various platforms, they will commit to different kinds of advertisements. Bounties can still be part of it but if it isnt so effective, why would they choose it? Hence, most of the projects and marketing agencies are still leaning on bounties as it works effectively for them. But the problem starts when the participants asks, `when distribution?`

Exactly my thoughts, I don't see IEO as a threat I see it as an opportunity. We are in highly competitive space and even after IEO, most of the project will still need the service of promoters in the industry to sell their idea beyond the community of the exchange that did IEO for them.

Perhaps I will surprise you, but bounty hunters make a minor contribution to the advertising of the project and attracting investors. You may ask, what are bounty hunters? Bounty hunters attract traffic to the site and to the social networks of the project and I think a cheaper workforce is hard to imagine. Therefore, the IEO will have little impact on the bounty hunter.

I understand any project requires advertisement but most of the projects that has been carried out on some of these exchanges using BTT as reference didn’t do any advert before they reached their target, the IEO systems itself is a form of advertisement because most investors believe that any project listed on the exchange has automatically been verified and marked as safe in which there will always be a pop out of new projects through the IEO platform and majority of the exchanges will be the ones to generate the news themselves which will require little or no use of campaigns.

I totally agree. Any project needs advertising and its success to some extent depends on it. Therefore, it is easier for creators to pay with tokens to bounty participants than to pay with other cash.

Maybe so, but lately can't shake the feeling that the need for bounty hunters has decreased significantly. Yes, the number of bounty campaigns is not reduced, but 90% of them are scam. IEO saves investors from independent search for successful projects and takes responsibility for their quality, moreover, it guarantees the listing of coins on the exchange. Then why do we need bounty hunters, if the project so to get money, advertising and listing.

Bounty never gonna die? I don't think so. Bounties already bleeding a lot and i won't surprise if it dies in a year or so.

IEO is a something it seems working for crowdfunding but not many IEO doing bounty campaigns.

I also believe that projects need advertising, too much advertising does not happen. So bounty hunters will remain need, perhaps over time will change demands and quests for bounty hunters, but without work they accurately not will remain. But who will be right, will judge only time.

IEO makes me feel good, seems a bit safe with your investment  since the token is offered in top exchanges like binance, this week if you heard celer IEO, got raised a high amount of funds. And also for bounty hunters, less risk than a project with ICO. Less detailed and assurance that we will be paid in right

A couple of successful projects on Binance Launchpad cannot guarantee that in the future it will become an ideal formula for fundraising. Just while the market is falling, exchanges are looking for any way to make money and bounty hunters are not threatened, we will still be needed.

Is there any bounties for IEO we see ICO's are dying before i thought it's just problem of the market but now i see the era of ICO ends and more and more exchanges make ICE if there is bounties from IEO then pls put them here ,hope we will join IEOs too and countuie make some profit from this but other problem is ,this will make exchanges more power.

Bounty hunters for more than a year are not in the best shape, few of the projects pay the funds , I think better than ieo better ico, and I try to have time to invest

I think you may be wrong in this one. IEO might be the new ICO. Look at those IEO that was conducted in binance, Celer Network(CELR) and Bitorrent(BTT). Those IEO were very successful with the help of the marketing of binance. How can future project holders never look up into IEO when there are so many IEO conducted that lasted just below 20 minutes ALL SOLD OUT? This might be the end of bounty. I'm not a supporter of IEO of course, I'm a bounty hunter and I think traditional initial offering is the best since that is proven and tested.

Here's the thing, the new bounty hunters are now the exchange. Since with the use of their fame and with the use of their own marketing they can now help a new project rise into the scene by paying them a big amount. For example, bounty that is worth $600k of tokens, the binance takes it all. A very sad scenario for us bounty hunters.

yes you're right, this is only temporary until many projects do IEOs too. if there are already many projects that start the IEO, the IEO is no longer a special thing. therefore there will be many who need bounty hunters to help promote their projects.

some bounty projects do not pay bounty hunters.
but some of them still keep their promises to pay bounty participants after they have campaigned.
although the ICO has many problems this year, it does not mean that the IEO is a threat like the OP said.

IEOs aren't threat to ICOs because IEOs is another name for ICOs. ICOs came on board with diverse projects which many ends up being scam, also, IEOs are not guarantee base on the fact that they all belong in the same class of crowdfunding. IEOs will provide more bounty hunting to Hunters when its finally come on board.

What in my mind would be, when ICO moving to IEO, then there would be a way that bounty will still exist and it will also implement new scheme to perform the bounty campaign, even though the coins would be directly distributed through the market, it will still need promotion for that coins to be known.

You made a good point, there is no reason for anyone to be afraid of IEOs, there will always be a way it will benefit everyone if it happens to take over . People should just be focused on what they are doing as of now and not talk about that since it has not happened yet. I’ve never been bothered about it, cause I know that there will always be a way for everyone to benefit.

I don’t think that will ever stop bounty hunters. You do know that this forum is not the only place for advertising right? Companies will still need people to do advert for them on other platforms like Twitter, so this forum is not the only place advert is being done. If you ask me, I will say that bounty hunters are going nowhere. They will still be needed.

I never thought IEO was a threat, this is good for the crypto market. the more people who believe in the IEO, the more new investors will buy. so the marketcap will slowly rise, you could say the IEO is one reason for the next increase.
For bounty campaigns, I don't really care because it's all just a side job. so it's there or not, it doesn't matter to me.

Usually that must be considered fraudulent behavior if they don't pay and should be prosecuted. It's sad if the promoters of the project are abused in that way.

The thing is there are more new projects coming out than cryptocurrency exchanges. They cannot accommodate all at the same time. Projects who wish to conduct an IEO may have to wait in line and may still consider a short bounty before their token sale starts.

IEO seems to be a good way of promoting a project, but through some way there is need for investors as well as users to promote the projects. IEO is done on large scale exchanges, and it isn't same as bounty anymore. One could be a participant on IEO as an investor and there is no more bounty hunters on IEO.

Very soon the hypes projects derive from exchange platforms from their ieo will vanish and everyone would come back to the drawing board which is marketing

Bounty hunting services will be needed after all

I agree with your opinion. I told some friends nursing such fears that even during the 2017 crypto boom, there was bounties. People didn't notice much because attention was drawn to ICOs and trading rather than bounty and airdrop. Bounty services offer promotional and marketing services and thus can't be eliminated because marketing is essential to the growth of any market or business

Yes, I do agree with you. IEO is not a threat for the bounty hunters, rather it is needed in the crypto industry to make people believe and trust again in cryptocurrency and IEO is a good way for the profit nowadays! Especially people are eagerly waiting for the next IEO in the Binance launchpad! Bounty is the major part of the crypto so I hope bounty always will be well treated!

IEOs will also need advertising and bounty campaigns. The only thing will change with IEOs  is, that we will not
be in danger of  advertising   scam campaigns as they won`t go through the filter of the exchanges.

With Initial Exchange Offering  i feel bountyhas some advantages and that is the fact that scam project will be reduce, which will enhance the overall development  of CRYPTO, I f most IEO  are on Binance and other strong/hype exchange, there will be a reduction in project that will do bounty, because the exchange already serve as a marketing platform, base on the trust level they have earn over the years.

With a better crypto ecosystem, more legit projects will rise and be introduced in the community.
So less fraudulent projects that will try to cheat these bounty hunters by taking advantage of them.
However, bounty hunters should do their part also in a sensible way and not be a headache of the community.
So at the end, everybody gains in the situation. For the moment, I'm seeing that IEO is far better than ICO.
I just hope that those projects tying up with famous exchanges will not exploit the system and find another avenue to screw investors.

- Of course, the IEO is not a threat to bounty hunters because very few projects can link and advertise through exchanges, quality and lots of conditions required for this issue, we can look at the IEO on binance, the number is very small, so bounty hunters don't need to worry about their work. I can even say that the IEO will be a good opportunity for bounty hunters when it will make investors' thoughts become better on projects, projects will become more exciting, hunters will have more work to do, even they will have an IEO hunt, these are quality projects for hunters to earn more profits

Ieo is just the the same kind of ICO or STO, but it had different purpose of each of them. But they have the same definition to gather fund.

Either IEO or ICO they will always need the service of bounty promotion because it's a alternative and cheap means to promote a start up, there is no much difference between the two the only difference is the platform used in offering the coin or tokens to investors.

The direction is very interesting, especially for investors who have already stopped believing that investing is still possible. I think that this is a great chance to show that cryptocurrency can do a lot, including it.

Both ICO & IEO have a same purpose which is collecting money. I think to fullfil that target need a lot of helps. For example advertisement, the company will need bounty hunters to do this job. As long as ICO/IEO still exist bounty campaign will always there.

You are right in the sense that if Initial Exchange Offerings (IEO's) do catch on they may lead to a re-surge in crowdsales for innovative startups and this will be healthy for the entire market not just this type of crowd funding solution, and because due diligence will be conducted by reputable exchanges and higher standards will be required the end result may be increased consumer confidence once again in a lagging market

Yes I agree. Rewards are reduced due to many participants. And add to that the fall in price.

IEO is helping investors reduce a lot of risks because they do not have to wait for a long time to liquidate. This is a good thing and we need to follow this trend in order to earn good profits. I believe that the current ICO projects will soon die because most of them are scam and the time listed on the exchanges is very long, making it easy for investors to feel discouraged, so the IEO made for higher investment needs and will certainly help the market revive in the near future

Innocent in thinking this way because the ways to advertise projects have always existed before even ICOs. Teams that are looking for exchanges to support them in their fundraisers are behind only quick projection and larger cash flow. It's normal to think that these projects are not thinking of people, but rather of institutions. So, with ICOs or IEOs, there is life in cryptocurrencies. This feeling of fear is present because they are putting aside the fun part of the cryptos that is the PoW.

But this is safer because there's a 3rd party involved and we can trust that 3rd party.
Also, with IEO, it's guaranteed that coins will be listed after the event, so that gives a little assurance that the coins will have a value.

IEO isn't no way a threat rather it's helping enhancing the cryptocurrency to being more popular. Investors will now invest with more confidence. On the other hand, less bounty will be there but a guaranteed payment will also be there for the hunters.

well not all ico will go there in IEO
many requirement there that all ico can pass, so the ICO and bounty still needed here
advertisement is very important to attract more investor

When there comes so many exchanges to the crypto space, it will make business competition more intense among exchanges but it also create bad impact such as low volume for each exchange because traders are spreaded-out. If they can't bring more people into their exchange it will just time to wait until the exchange die.

If IEO becomes widespread, bounty hunters will not be required. The reason is that the stock market will use the power of advertising. Especially the big exchanges will not give bounty. Because they already have widespread use. Why would they mess with bounty?

now there are too many coins that cannot guarantee the benefits that can be obtained because the condition of falling bitcoin prices makes many investors or third parties do not want to enter the world of cryptocurrency anymore so it is difficult to benefit from the coin.

Yes, I agree with you that the emergence of IEO doesn't signal the abrupt end of bounty campaign because come what may, there will still be a lot of projects in the crypto world and most of them will surely need advertisement for their popularity in the crypto world.

Yes, I agree in fact there is already bounty campaign, for coins that are already in the market, this is just to keep up awareness of the coin, it's easy to promote this coins because they are already in the market and they already had huge support, profitable for bounty hunters.

IEO is just another form of investing in crypto. It does not matter if it is exchange directly, the point is it is still a cryptocurrency and would work the same way. The bonus is that it is backed onto the exchange.

yes you are right, I think it will be a next boom in this cryptosystem because there will be a lots of expectation will come to this projects and making the field of cryptocurrency to be a new trend will also be very helpful from the development of IEO

But still be careful, since many people getting scam by many ICO before. I think they will not make a fast decision right now. They will learn from their mistake before, and they will invest in IEO if the programs can give benefits to them. The investor still needs to learn about that program. The IEO could be a new trend after the ICO because we are still sad because of the ICO itself and if the IEO can replace the ICO, then it will change the investor opinion.

Definitely, bounty hunter services will be needed even if IEO became the norm. Exchanges can't do all the marketing stuff. They still need 'foot soldier' to promote their project, thus bounty hunters will still be here and needed. And I also think that ICO will not die either even if there is IEO is the horizon.

Another possible outcome is that the number of IEO projects will be limited and the exchange itself will provide project promotion services.

There will be much more bounties than now without any doubt. There are only several exchanges that can provide such a hype level without a bounty needed and all other exchanges will need to launch a bounty.

yes you are right, but for now like a Project that starts the IEO does not require a bounty campaign. I saw in just a few hours all the tokens were sold out. but it won't last long, if many projects use this method. The IEO will look the same as a normal token sale. so the bounty campaign is definitely needed.

The IEO is only for projects that have enough financial resources, they pay for the top exchanges to deploy the IEO. The other ICOs, if they want to market, are no more effective than Bounty, but they will have to choose the bounty that really brings results.

We were witnessing that ICOs scammed many people and many investors lost their trust in them. That is not
good for crypto and that is why ICO needs regulations. IEOs are managed by exchanges and they are supervising
the projects. It can be a solution for investors being more secured and protected from scammers.

I don't think bounties can ever die even if the ICO market dies because of IEO, one way or the other people will always need the services of bounties because it's not just about being able to raise large amount of money from conducting IEO but be able to raise a large community because what makes a good project is not money but large community, so am definitely sure that whether ICO or not, the services of bounties will still always be needed, and beside not every project owners will have so much money to run IEO so I believe ICO will still exist.

Not sure about that but so many people know about IEO can be manipulated by the exchange site easily. Thousand people can't even buy some pennies from some IEO in binance exchange and they are feeling doubt about binance was doing a shady thing in its IEO.

Totally agreed. A famous businessman ELON MUSK says that they spent not even a cent over the advertisement of Tesla and the billion dollars that other competitor spent over advertisement were spent on the product and we found our costumer without even advertising. So I think that if your project is great, you do not really need advertisements and exchange will let people know. We are done with ICOs. Bounty hunters will be in hot water.

I definitely trust it was not a threat again because a lots of people had confidence about IEO investment and it will definitely give result positively I hope people will accept it very soon.

I'm still longing for a time where bounty hunters are paid in bitcoin and we can have lots of coins to promote that are already in the market, but unfortunately, we only see few coins like this, I've counted and there are only two of these like CCN, Azartpay, hopefully we will have ten or more.

I think the ICOs market is already changing and soon there will be no ICOs. Instead, it will come to STO and IEO. As we see the bounty is not so necessary to promote the project. This function is already engaged in the exchange.

Time as usual will put everything in its place. I think everything here seems very, very strange despite the fact that IEO actually looks really super strange. This is, after all, a hybrid model, because, on the whole, there are few of the funds that they began to receive from traders for exchanges.

They are going to be a threat if these ICO's will not shape up and continue to scam people, millions of dollars have been lost already, investors will soon have enough and they will only look for IEO because it's much safer and profitable compared to months long ICO.

The idea of IEO won’t even completely disfavor bounty hunters, although they might end up not getting free tokens again but at least, they can be rest assured too that whatever project they are investing their money into is safe, certain percentage of hunters who participate in bounty hunting do so not because they cannot afford to bring out money to invest.

But, because of they will rather work to get it free rather than investing in a project they are also not sure of its success once the ICO ended since the market is full of uncertainties.More so, like you said, not many ICO can afford to list their project on IEO for now due to exchange rules and regulations.

Sure they have the same crowd funding definition and we can as well say that it’s structure its typically ICO structure,  but this time around going through exchanges that has verified them and can guarantee that yes, it is a good project.

IEO projects builds the confidence of investors more than the ICO since it is being operated directly by the exchanges and investors can have people to hold responsible in the event that something goes wrong with the investment, because this is the assurance exchanges gives through the IEO that investors are in safe hand. Most IEO projects don’t also go through campaigns like ICO does.

I have to admit there are more people going to invest on a project if an exchange like binance will conduct is crowdfunding. Investors are just incline to trusting such set up because they know the token could end up being listed to this exchange as well. There are however criteria for exchange to partner up with a team to do an IEO and not all team are willing to pay the exchange.

I think those who will be affected by the failure of the ICO or IEO are those exchanges, so the exchange place that holds the IEO should really select a good project so that it will not have a negative impact on anyone participating in the IEO.

IEO projects do go through campaigns like ICO does as I have seen few of these IEOs still promoting their projects through bounty campaigns. I believe campaign will still be a valuable tool in this new ecosystem.

I'm not really worried , I try to participate in io , and I think everyone needs to think about it , because it is possible to make very good money

I am hearing IEO for the first time. What is that? How is it different than ICO or STO these days?

I see your point as a very interesting one but we should note that the bull run is no respecter of this language. In a hyping market, Binance and other "big" exchanges would delay things trying to schedule everything and so people will switch to fast track methods and that's where the IEO super spring will start. Your statement will always be valid until a hype market comes lol.

ICO's had been established and I think there are lesser companies now who will start from scratch again.

It is also the easiest method and user friendly way to make a crowd funding.
There is still STO which is being advertised and yet it seems it cannot go to the way ICO did. Some just wants to stay with the older style and just do their projects as good as they could to invite more investors.
Something new will not help, it will just divide us once again.

We created a chat on the subject of IEO, there we discuss everything that is interesting and can help make a successful IEO. Here is a link if anyone is interested: https://t.me/ieoone

People seem to be concerned about IEOs and how they pose to be a threat but I always rebuke it as uninformed assertion. Bounty is a form of marketing and as such very crucial to the development and growth of the industry. Cryptocurency needs bounty hunters more.

I guess an exchange will work extra to find a legit project and has a potential, if an exchange hasty to accept any project without know the ins and out the project I believe the exchange will find as a result. I guess they should have someone or team who has an ability to find more a deep information about the project either its teams, road maps or another important things related to project.

I also think that IEO is just a temporary trend in the market, nothing more. Is there any statistics available about all IEO spent during this time, what percentage of money from all ICOs during this time did they collect? I think something about 1%. These are not the numbers that are worth seriously talking about.

If investors would love it, I think it will stay and continue to increase participation from investors.
I'm not sure but I kinda think that this is a new trend of ICO, through exchange as they are more reputable and investors can trust them.

No end means to promoting projects and as a bounty hunter our services will always be needed ,just because many projects are turning to IEO doesn't mean that they won't need to promote there projects that's where we will always come in so worryless my dear fellow bounty hunters we will always be needed

Why would anyone think IEO as a threat?

It is not something against crypto. Or some way to scam people. It is actually a way to not get scammed because no exchange would list a scam, it would destroy them. Just an ico where you can buy on exchanges.

I agree with you. They will hire advertisers when they will manage a lot of campaigns. They can't do it because they are lacking manpower so they need the help of these bounty hunters to advertise a certain project. When this happen, I think there will be changes into how bounty hunters will advertise the project like change of rules something like that.

On the other hand, there are some exchanges which are popular already in different social media and there are some popular exchanges like Binance are launching IEO's already. What do they only need is just posting ads on Facebook, twitter and different social media platforms and since there are many traders on their exchange, many will be aware of the incoming IEO so they don't need too many people to advertise the project since they are popular and many will be aware once they posted it on different platforms.

IEO are not threats to bounty hunters and not too long there are some IEO projects that launched there bounties on btt forum to I'm sure bounty hunters won't be left out ,they will always need us to promote there projects

of course IEO not a trhreat, it was a new solutions for avoiding fake and scam ICO out there, im feeling safer participating in IEO because their project already partnering with exchanger.

It is imperative to always be on the alert, because there is always the possibility that even 100% guaranteed services and situations can be really terrible, so I think that the situation as a whole may not seem very guaranteed in the future.

Yeah, it's one step easier than doing an STO. STO means they have to be regulated, and then depending on which country it's launched from, it could be very difficult to ensure all the investors are from eligible countries, difficult to get them KYC, and then difficult to manage the distribution to individuals.

This Exchange Offering is something of a hassle free experience. Platform handles all that and the project collects funds. I wonder what fee the platform charges to these guys!

I think offering tokens everywhere will not be able to guarantee investors and the risk of scam will always be there, even from KYC they still dare not to be responsible for the price of tokens they offer so you should remain vigilant about offering tokens like that even though they came from a large exchange place.

If IEO will be the solution to the growing numbers of ICO scammers, I would support this rather than ICO. Ieo can still launch a bounty if they just want too and I am not worried with this. We want a solution for ICO scam projects and this might help to reduce them or eliminate much better

Not every exchange has a deemed popularity. So people are still hearing from social news which the hunters doing. Some shilling by hunters are still effective of marketing if the project is really need an audience for their product. So I'm not convince that bounty will disappear even with the release of many IEO now.

Owing to the fact that IEO is an excellent idea, but we still need to be mindful on the fact that the projects has been received into the community. With a supporting responility to help in increase the ubx.

Again, IEOs are very new. There’s no telling how many exchanges will want to take part or what that participation will even look like.
It’s my opinion that IEOs aren’t going to see the kind of rapid bubble type of hype that the ICOs of 2016 and 2017 brought us.
This is what regulation does, whether it be self imposed or governmental, regulation takes away the volatility and calms the waters a bit.
Some might call it boring, but like it or not, this is what happens.

The Initial Exchange Offering is still a quite new phenomenon but there is no doubt that this will continue to grow with time. An IEO is completely different from ICO as the exchange is a tangible execution model, rather than an idea in a technical document. Hence, the chances of it performing in the long term are greater. With time, the IEO may change the face of crypto banking for the better for it might help to make crypto-currencies and exchanges more appealing to the wider market.

Either ICO or IEO the service of bounty hunters is still needed because there is no way  ICO or IEO will archive their goal without promoting their project.

I have been having this confidence that ICOs will not cease to exist. We all have our individual choices.
Some would prefer ICO, for some, it might be STO  and people are now having interest in IEO. So we only choose that which will be favourable to us.

I think listing your ICO on popular exchange to make IEO, will cost more money.
So, bounty campaigns will be still available for ICO who doesn't want to list on exchange.
If you look at IEO's now, there is a disadvantage : many of buyers not available to participate because it always ended in a short time.

promotion always be needed. if ico die and ieo will be popular way, nevertheless there will be tons of projects and each will be needed PR.

yes im agree with you, IEO was the revolution of traditional ICO whos already full of scammers, IEO promising safe of investor fund because fund raising held on third party exchanger, so there is a guarantee of investor fund cant be stolen.

I dont think ICOs will disappear after many big exchanger launch IEOs. Its true IEO disrupting ICOs but its not a competition to raise investor funds. Its about the project worth to invest. If the project having good product and good developers team, i think ICOs still working and run

I think, IEO or ICO only different with platform. But developer will always need people to promote  their project so i think it wouldn't really affect on bounty campaign. But don't know actually because who decide to held bounty campaign or not is that developer.

There are several projects that are not ICOs and neither are they IEOs, yet pay in btc or other already established coins.
Even if ICO is no more, those who can source for good projects will still earn well.

They need advertising or promotion so bounty campaign will remain.
The new platform which is the IEO is popular now since coins after listed will not dump unlike in ICO where it could dump hard and the amount of collection during the ICO is lesser compared to IEO. The potential is still here, investors are willing to invest, but they shifted to a more secure which is the IEO.

There is no way that bounties are going to be removed because of IEOs. Do not be silly guys, only Binance and Huobi have shown some great success, but almost all other exchanges have the same financing troubles as by holding a regular ICO.

IEO's are not a threat at all , it's just an attempt to get out of a difficult situation which is now on the market . The main threat is a huge number of scammers in the ICO industry, if this problem is not solved, then IEO will constantly gain popularity and with time can deprive the bounty hunters of work, because the exchanges themselves will perform it.

This is one thing I really hate about the IEO projects, it is not really giving us the opportunity to participate because of its short time of sales which is even being manipulated, I don’t know why exchanges will still allow whales to be dominant in a platform that was created to guarantee safety of investors, they are just creating unnecessary monopoly that will eventually backfire for them in the long run.

What I expect these IEO platforms to do if they are not really selfish is to place a maximum limit on the amount of token a single investor can have access to and not minimum amount. The solution they provided has still not solved the challenge in ICO.

Only good exchanges should be chosen to participate in IEO projects because large exchanges are carefully selected for each project. I think the IEO will soon become a new trend this year and this trend makes the market more bustling. I believe this is the best way to get rid of scammers out of this market and surely we will have a good return if invested in good projects.

The threat or not is clear at this time the IEO will become a new investment trend and give many people an interest in investing in the IEO, it is very visible nowadays where there is great interest

For sure it will be yes. That is why actually bounty hunter don't need to afraid if there are no bounty campaign anymore. Don't forget before ICO be trends, there are already signature campaign that not come from an ICO.

i know that right. IEO is just on the FOMO only. just like ico lending and another fomo
it time for IEO to shine with many multiple gain. but when all exchange make their IEO it become more chance to fail. IEO become populer just because their gaining on price after release on market

But IEO is still more effective compared to ICO. Also, exchanges are taking advantage to IEO's like the only way to buy for the IEO is using the exchange very own utility token just like what happened to Binance's BNB and Huobi's HT. But still, there will be dumps going to happen once it starts trading. I wonder how much it cost the project to launch an IEO. Running a bounty campaign will still give a huge boost to the project since it helps promotion spread faster rather than getting promoted from the exchange only.

mass adoption is not yet happened and we still have a lot of chance for both ICOS and IEO. We must wait until the tokenization will be adopted by the whole of companies in the world and that will be an interesting thing to see how it will be so popular

The only threat for now is the KYC which I guess most of us may back away from exchanges doing these IEO. If a project will do an IEO on an exchange where an investor who hasn't registered to this exchange, they will have to submit documents.

The IEO is a bubble, and it is about to explode. Don't be quick to get rich from the IEO, look at Bittrex as an example. See them selling IEO and the outcome of that coin.

I agree with you. this is only the beginning, surely one day it will end up like ICO or STO or else method, which is very proud of before.
Personally, I don't hate the IEO. but keep in mind this is only a temporary hype.

And about bounties, of course the promotion will not gone. Because they need to promote their projects and build a community, bounty hunters can become loyal community members and can also become one of the investors in their projects.

I absolutely agree that IEOs aren't a threat instead it's the KYC involved which may drive some investors away. However, I believe a IEOs are better than some ICOs.

I still haven't seen the overall potential of the IEO, which may be considered foreign to me and ICO itself is already very good, actually this year it looks bad. I also hope that the IEO will be better than the ICO in the future.

IEO's will certainly put a dent into the bounty campaigns available. All of the good ones will go straight onto the exchanges and won't need us to promote them. BTT didn't need a bounty campaign, time to get a day job ..

I think that bounty depends on where the token will be sold. Some IEO conducted bounty. Therefore, I think that the IEO will not affect the bounty. Besides, I don’t think that the IEO will exist for a long time.

Initially I was worried about the development of the IEO which could be said to be quite a lot, which could have an impact on the reduction in bounty campaigns. However, I think returning to the respective IEO projects. They also still need promotion for their projects. And bounty campaign is one of the best solutions for promoting ICO or IEO projects.

Well I don't think bountier will not have a bright future because of IEO, projects will still need an advertisement for it's project, gaining some audience and investor through bounty program will still worked.

Advertising is always necessary, maybe IEOs changed situation little, but not all of the projects can be sold at binance. Also, most ICOs are waiting for good condition. Everything will come back when status is good.

Part of the marketing strategy is to keep promoting your product and bounty hunters are there to help. IEO's is not a threat because still, they need to promote their product using bounty campaigns so they can well disseminate their project.

IEO for me is better than ICOs because all of this project must be in the secure platform or exchange and also is will avoid to many scammer unlike ICOs.

Okay but doesn't ICO sound catchier than IEO?

I would agree wit that, the new trend has made this market revive.
It's good now that we have this platform and we can minimize the risk in investing in ICO.
This is still called ICO IMO since it's crowdsale offering but through a secure way which is from exchanges.
We should also be wise in choosing exchanges, choose only those who have good reputation.

I think, the projects that will make the IEO will need advertising and promotion just like the projects that make ICO. Therefore, I think that the projects that make IEO will always need bounty hunters to have a big community. I see that many old projects that  listed on exchanges are also organizing a bounty campaign. So bounty works never ends.

Hopefully we will assume so because good bounties are diminishing rapidly. IEOs has posed to be a better fund raising alternative to project developers who need IEOs to raise funds than bounty hunters to pool investors to their ICOs

indeed advertising and promotion can be a good strategy from the IEO project to make the offer sell well, but the most important thing for the success of the IEO is not only from the marketing strategy, but usually investors will see from the projects and platforms that they want to develop, very useful for many people or not.

All exchanges are not enough to stamp projects, so in any case, the ICO will be popular and in particular the bounty services will also be needed!

There are strict rules that an exchange is implementing before hosting an IEO.  They need to submit their team profile and the exchange make it sure that there are real people behind the project.  Remember the exchange need to protect their reputation, so they will be the first one to conduct research on the project.  If there is no red flag then the IEO will commence.  With this option, I agree that IEO is way better than ICO in terms of verifying people behind the project.

---

I agree with OP, there are too many crowdfunding projects that exchanges cannot accommodate and so bounty will still be needed. 

Not all exchange does that, I know some exchanges that hosts IEO and doesnt care about the identity of the team. They just want to get paid. But several known exchanges are very careful like binance, bittrex, huobi and kucoin.

IEOs should repeat sucess of ICOs. Probably impact won't be so huge, but I will try to catch as much IEOs as possible in order to increase my portfolio.
I consider IEO as a less risky way to invest money compared to ICO

Less risky but high potential for the investors.

This idea was considered successful already, the number of ICOs now have decrease as they know it will not be patronize by investors.
As an investor, it's just right to find a platform where they can minimize the risk and IEO was the answer for that.

investors must know which exchanges are trusted and which are not. after all, as more IEOs grow, their success will also diminish, not as well as at the beginning of the IEO's popularity because its success reached hardcap in a few moments.

It is true bounty hunters would always be needed in the crypto industry to promote new project's .
But the rewards are killing the hunters with just a small amount of profit who would want to continue on promoting some scam project or a low value crypto.
We will always be needed but as much as they need as we also need money and a good amount of reward to continue on working.

In my opinion IEOs are a threat for bounty hunters. If no investor invest on ICOs any more and prefer invest on IEO, i'm sure the project owner will change to IEO too and there will be no more bounties. IEO on big exchanges like binance, no need much advertisement too.

IEO currently shows itself very well and as I see many companies that wanted to make ICO even decided to switch to IEO, because at the moment this is the best way to get money from investors, and when the demand for IEO will fall then we will see what will happen with the sphere of IEO.

I think that IEOs are not threat at all in the crypto space. They have been able enough to overcome the shortcomings posed by ICOs. ICOs though good for fundraising in the initial stages of a token selling company had disadvantages and risk. Still, they had been banned by some countries around the world due to which crypto startups in those countries could not really get the funds they needed so IEO is a good option for them.

No surprises in this 8). Devs will switch over to the hottest platform whereas they actually do not need to do so. Yes, just focusing on their actual concepts itself more than enough to attract decent amount of investors but they are all chasing into the new platform so that they will hit definite targets up to their hardcap.

rather than we call threat, IEO is a new solutions for replacing traditional ICO whos already filled up by fake and scam project out there.

IOE is an opportunity to make money for all of us, it can last for a long time, it can last for a long time, but the fact is that now this possibility of earning cannot be ignored.

Everything in here are still subject for a chance and we can't guarantee that IEO will last for a long time depending of its performance. IEO's sill new in the market and still under the observations, but we into positive that it will results profitable to the investors and to minimize scam projects appears in the market which we could find out in the coming days.

IEO is not a replacement for scam projects, but it’s exactly the same scam projects. no one guarantees you that a project which collects money on the exchange will not be a scam. It's just a new way to collect money. And I think that this method is not fair. because people are obliged to buy stock exchange tokens on which the fundraising takes place

You seems not to understand that just because IEO was actually handle by an exchange site doesn't mean it hinder crypto scammer from scamming people because the last time I check most of the exchange don't do much of background about the team involving but even if they did some background while the team decide to use someone information?
The best thing is that crypto should also do their own research.

Of course a product will succeed depending on the issues they provide, so every project will always require participants to start promoting a product they are working on and now the IEO has successfully delivered several projects to quickly build the project by generating funds so fast but bounty I'm sure to continue to exist.

Definitely agree that we don't blame everything when it is in the difficult situation because everything has some bad times in it so the problem is we need to face it front with our efforts to learn what is happening and it then only the country is any simple to find otherwise it will continue to scam everything in it was not true.

It now appears so because IEO is looking like a chip of the ICO block. Exchanges now control the sales and distribution. They are Legit and less likely to loose participants funds unlike developers in ICO. However, turn out evens of tokens after sale is not different

It's all always come back to the token's worth afterall.Whether it is listed in a really popular exchanges that could probably boost up your sales. All these token if don't have that good progression or just meh they will definitely being dumped by the investors.

Whenever there is a new technique used to promote a project there will be two forms of discussion one will be stating it as advantageous, and the other terms it a threat. From my view it is good for projects to reach the investors with ease and here the initial funding is very high compared to other forms of promoting an project and finding investors. Rather than finding an exchange and listing it, the exchange itself helping with distribution and further listing for trading is really good.

I did not see and feel that the IEO was not a threat. Because indeed everyone needs a promotion. Because not all projects can do the IEO successfully. Of course they need a bounty program to promote their projects to be known to investors. Never be afraid of the presence of the IEO.

With the high demand for IEOs on Binance, creating it's own marketing crowd even just the initial announcement, IEO on other exchanges (a smaller one like LAToken) need bounty hunting services to promote their project. I think bounty hunters didn't have to worry, they are the key for growing an organic community with the expense of only atleast 0.5% of the projects total share/token/coin. Not bad eh.

Agree, every project needs advertising to share info about the project and collect community. One thing is different in IEO fundraising is that exchange usually guaranty listing of the project token. And I think soon hype will calm down and projects had to advertise their crowd sales.

I think that the ICO must improve if it does not want to lose confidence in Investors, the best way is to make regulations to reject ICO who commit fraud and punish them. So that the ICO will be clean of fraudsters.

Rejecting when committed fraud, that is not good, the right way to treat is prevention, therefore strict regulation is necessary.
With lack of regulation in the crypto space, people choose to transfer in the new platform which is the IEO, and I believe it help to boost the market again.

I had that same fear, but i was put at rest with the fact that even projects that are already listed still requires the assistance of bointy hunters to promote their tokens. So i got confidence in the fact that we are needed in the crypto space

Actually IEO is a good thing, because there are many peoples who buy cryptocurrency to investing in IEO.
And of course this will make cryptocurrency price increasing due the increasing demands to participating in IEO.

But they buy altcoins, of course, depending on the needs of each IEO. Suppose the IEO is in binance, of course they will buy a BNB and like other exchanges too. But what you say is good for this IEO. And ICO is also still a lot of people investing there. So we can only always support what's happening now.

Though crowd sales takes time but the main thing is that the tokens are being almost evenly distributed to the investors and its not likely that we may face pump and dump situation.But the total IEO scheme that is being taken up by many crypto start ups are really not doing very good.And the outcome is that hardly people get to buy in the IEO.And moreover what exchanges do is that they make it compulsory that IEO participation can be done only using their own coins for example BNB LOL. :P :P

I think that the teams willn't give up the services of the hunters and ICO will continue, but thanks to the IEO, the scam projects will gradually leave the market. But it also seems to me that in IEO the exchanges will advertise their coins too in parallel and oblige investors to purchase them at a reduced price.

This is not something to be worried about as I have seen few projects that are IEO projects yet still have bounties eg ,bluenote ,air wallet ,token mom ,high bank etc ,its not the end for bounty hunters but only the beginning ,the more all other projects are turning to IEO the better for bounty hunters

I think that depends on exchange, do they want to make that token fomo. As Okex IEO is an example, it was x16 after the IEO ended, an unbelievable price

Not all  projects can carry out IOEs, some of those that will sometimes be able to turn to us for help, marketing a company launched through bounty is paying off.

Cryptocurrency users do not always understand the difference between Eco companies and IOE.  Basically there is information that investors can be much calmer for their money, but the difficulties for the team is a completely different matter.  If such a problem exists, the company's ico market will expand.

I don't see IEO as a threat to bounty hunters because some projects in IEO still employ the services of hunters.

Ooooh, this is pertaining to bounty participants. IEO or Intial Exchange Offering is sadly a centralized solution to the rampant scam ICOs that plague the crypto scene last 2017. So now every fundraising effort is now vetted by your favorite exchange. To bounty hunters, it's still the same ICO, it is just handled by exchanges now.

Wait, come to think of it, most of the projects that goes to the IEO doesn't have bounty program except for a few. This to me looks like a way of avoiding bounty hunters. Nevertheless, advertisement will still be an ongoing thing so they'll need bounty participants. The real issue will be how to see those projects.

Not a threat? Maybe
But destroyed icos reputation completely? Yes

So what’s the difference ?
I have seen supposed icos concert to ieos since the recognition and hypes from binance

It will end up being a threat

Surely they need a Bounty mass promotion is the best way to promote their projects, and the IEO is one good sale so there will be no fraud.

IEO shouldn't be seen as a threat to bounty hunters but rather as an advantage because the services of Bounty hunters will surely be needed no matter the form of crowdsale that gets used by most projects. IEO should be seen as a blessing by bounty hunters because it will reduce the rate of scam projects and projects that just use bounty hunters without paying them. Because these projects will be reviewed by the exchange that conducts the crowdsale and exchanges won't want to promote fake projects so that their integrity is not jeopardize.

IEOs are not a threat to bounty hunters. IEOs are not a threat to ICO Pools. IEOs need marketing campaigns, and both are going to be essential to help those projects build enough hype.

True, I hope that more IEO projects will use the services of Bounty hunters to voice their projects to the public, so that it will be a good blessing for Bounty hunters, because in my opinion the IEO is the safest place now than the ICO.

IEOs have a very positive effect on the market. I think that in the future there will be many more profitable bounties and IEO will contribute to this. I am very positive. I think that a good time for bounty may come.

IEOs are more trusted from the investors as exchanges are supervising the project. They should not
be a threat for bounty hunters as they bringing back the trust for investing in crypto.

Sure, it doesnt metter - ICO or IEO. Doesn't metter how is good project if no one knows about it. Now we see a new wave of reborn advertizing in crypto world. And that is exciting.

Looking at the features of IEO, its just an upgrade of ICO. The crypto ecosystem can't do away with bounty hunters. Promotion of crypto projects can only be done by bounty hunters faster and cheaper compared to project managers paying for their project to be advertise by media institutions. IEO was introduced to help investors come back and invest into the crypto ecosystem.

What kind of advertising is that? I only know the kind of advertising for ICO since we have a lot of bounty threads here and most of them
just only used the same format advertising, I am pretty much interested in knowing what do you about the new wave of advertising?

I am really hoping we can still make money with that by joining the bounty program.

I disagree. IEO's on large exchanges or across multiple exchanges completely erase any need for bounty hunters. Large exchanges will have the emails of millions of investors and it becomes very easy for the them to spread the word about a new offering without having to rely on bounty hunters. Just look at what Binance is doing with Launchpad.

I can unequivocally state that today cryptocurrency is something that will develop in any case, but IEO is not what we really were waiting for or waiting for. Now everything looks very bad because all this is solid centralization.

Yes, IEO also believes that PR is a step for exchanges, they attract more users, we have not yet seen the continuation of these new projects, it is quite possible that this is a short-term HYIP promoting new projects for quick and easy profits. most people came to cryptography in order to get quick profits, I think that is why they are becoming increasingly popular.

I do not think that IEOs were a threat for bounty hunters. Projects that do not need any bounty programme, are holding ICOs without them and there is no difference to an IEO on Binance and Huobi. But when we are speaking about any other exchanges, an IEO does not mean that it is going to reach the hard cap.

there are still such unique persons who first use the services of hunters, and when everything is completed successfully, then they write to the hunters, we could all do it without you, so be glad that we will give at least something.

No need to say that, IEOs are new sun on the token sales. After the failed scam ICOs big exchanges like Binance,Bittrex started their own way of token sale. Biggest threat are  scam token sales and we needd to be careful with the scam projects.

I think you are right about IEO and bounty work. It also depends on which exchange project is planning IEO. In case it's binance, then to some extent we can say that additional marketing is not required due to it's huge user base.
Many times when project launches, it's not decided at that moment about IEO event. So as soon as any project comes into market, it's bounty hunters only who make aware other users about it.
IEO can have some impact to bounty works but I feel there are many different marketing strategies required to promote the project and bounty is one of the part of it.

Right. in my opinion the IEO is not a threat. even now there are no signs if there is a threat from the IEO. even the IEO can be a good opportunity for the future in making a profit.

IEO's are not threat in my opinion and most of them are useful for crypto space, they are taking attention in addition making volality, therefore we need something who can leverage this system.

remember, not all IEOs make a profit. all depends on your project analysis. where what determines profits or not, the development of the project is not the success of the IEO. the market is actually formed when the project starts to be developed, not when the IEO is done.

For thos ico project have been listed in IEO have a good future for their tokens selling to gain extra money for their token sales. The point is its good to list also their tokens every ieo they have been listed and a good volume to manage.

I have seen projects going for IEOs run a bounty campaign so this explains it all, the IEO is no threat to bounties so there is nothing to be scared of. Bounty has no connection to where or how a project wants to raise its funds.

That's good to know, I'm not already updated with that, but can you give some IEO that has its bounty campaign announcement in the forum ?


Bounty is just advertising, ICO and IEO are different platform, we can advertise which one we support.
AFAIK, IEO like Binance does not have bounty campaign, it would be nice if they will have since most of their IEO are sold out.

There are, or shall we say, sometimes work this way some companies that do not resort to the services of bounty hunters at all, that is, they rely on their own marketers, or know that the collection will end with one preliminary application

as you see. IEO is the new trend of projects. But I find most of the prices of the projects have dropped very sharply. IEO or ICO I hope it will grow further. But they also need the bounty hunters to promote them

Whether ICO or IEO, there would still be some sort of marketing or promotion of the project. I believe bounty programs are important marketing tool for promoting projects. Maybe in the near future, the trend of promoting projects with bounty projects would change.

No interest to join ICOs anymore, IEOs are attracting more investors for token sale compared to soft cap reached ICOs. The quantity of useless projects are increasing every day and we have no choice to use both.

As i see there is projects that still struggle to raise enough funds or even quite little with IEO . Im not talking about binance launchpad . There is alot more exchanges that do IEO , but unfortunately , they don't have enough customers / volume .

I agree with your opinion, although the crypto market has moved to the new form of IEOS. Marketing and advertising are always necessary. Therefore, bounty hunters always have their jobs for projects. Our work is very practical and meaningful.

IEOs are definitely a threat and anyone who thinks otherwise is just kidding themselves. Also, it is a threat to this forum as many people that post here are doing it for signature rewards so IEO's might cause the post count here to fall even further

Not all projects must carry out the IEO. If there is an ICO, why do you have to move to the IEO. Indeed IEO is so popular now with multiple benefits. But it must also be a popular Exchange. ICO will continue to run as it should, just enjoy it now.

I have never see IEO as a threat before rather than an opportunity to make good profit which I can use to grow my portfolio. There's no reason for one to be afraid if IEO will eradicate bounty because some of them will still hold bounty and even if all of them decide not to do, there will always be a new way to make money in this space.

I've seen similar topic about this as well.. but honestly I still find it difficult how this is suppose to pose a threat to bounty hunters..

Even investors nowadays don't just buy into any coin they see on an exchange research is done.. before they do think of purchasing any random coin

That is right. IEO on some exchanges and not on all exchanges have been successfully reached their hard cap within minutes so yeah this is the reason why IEO on Huobi and Binance are overcrowded. IN addition, it has never been a threat to bounty hinters. There are people who claim it to be a very bad FRM but it is actually better than what many of them think. The risks of loosing have been reduced to great extent in IEO.

The main problem is that ico is currently experiencing a decline in quality and of course investors get a lot of big losses with the existence of ico. and at this time the iOo trend actually gives a big advantage. so it is only natural that investors dare to invest in the IEO

Hunters will remain revelant as long as crypto is existing. What hunters do is more very huge and more than just heliping projects get investors. IEOs won’t do this. After doing IEO and listing , they will still need the service of hunters for huge publicity. This case it’s better .

I as a person never for once think twice about IEO ,since 2018 ive been praying for a new way to invest because I knew ICO are just ain't enough, most of my posts on this forum has been mostly about needing new solution for investors and here we are ,IEO is the answer,safer better and profitable

to carry out an IEO project, a project must have large capital to guarantee the continuity of the project in an exchanger, therefore not all DEVs can do that for the project they are planning. because of that we don't assume that the IEO is a challenge for bounty hunters.

IEO isn't a threat to bounty hunters but a blessing in disguise, with IEOs the fake projects are being weeded out systematically because the good exchanges do every necessary research with due diligence before cooperating with IEO to run on their platform in order not to ruin their reputation and why do I say its a blessing in disguise is because we will start having few good projects that make work done by bounty hunters pays off other than icos known for exit scam and different fake projects rather IEOs are threat to fake projects

If IEO will also use the services of Bounty Hunters companies, then I really see nothing wrong with that.  I have repeatedly spoken on the bitcointalk forum that the main thing and the problem today is fraud on the ico market of the company, when fraudsters steal investors' funds and thus withdraw funds from the cryptocurrency market.  This is the first threat for the whole cryptocurrency and it must be fought at all costs.

Initial Exchange Offerings are surely a threat to bounty hunting because through IEOs projects get a broad attention than i think bounty participants can bring on board for a project. Do you think any project would offer any bounty campaign after conducting an IEO which has been successfully completed with probably all tokens sold? No, and that is why IEOs may end bounty campaigns or just reduce its intensity.

They've needs large amount of capital to maintain the volumes, it can't be a threat as mentioned since not every devs can maintain that and there's no options for them but to try opening an ico sales and give hunters some chances to participate and received the rewards, the cycle will continue as it is.

IEOs shouldn't be a threat, i think IEOs are much better than ICOs and people who invest in IEOs should always choose trusted exchanges and i think will make a profit if project is successfull.

Releasing an IEO for token sale is a good decission for those people willing lot of tokens from token sale its very attractable and soon their token will list on which IEO exchange sales.

So tell me in what sense did IEO didn't need publicity like ICO,.  For me I believe like ICO, IEO also need to push their product before people can buy into it so they will be needing bounty hunters too. Though it may reduce the numbers of bounties that are available but it won't kill bounties

So what's the difference of buying some random coin in an exchange vs buying tokens from the website of the ICO?
This is just the same way of investing but the only difference is that IEO token already has an exchange.
I don't really see any threat to this since China was banning ICO then IEO is the choice to the people who want to invest in a project.

Don't worry they will need bounty hunter to promote their campaign sometimes the project became successful because of the help of bounty hunters they are doing their best to promote the project but sometimes even if the project was successful bounty would not be paid according on their work.

Yeah, you are right, I have already seen some project under IEO that are running a bounty campaign.
ICO may die but we bounty hunters will never loss an opportunity to earn as eventually IEO project will also increase in numbers.

IEO is like ICOs but managed by exchangers. I dont think IEOs are a threat because IEO or ICOs is the way to raise money and i think both are good investment as long we doing research first. Perhaps, after IEOs, there will be new way to raise funds on new project

Ínitial exchange offering is never a threat to bounty. Bounties have a different role to play in any project which is to create awareness to projects both startups and existing

Yeah this is very true. IEOs aren't a threat indeed. As time is going on, new IEO projects are rising up and as indicated, bounty hunters shall forever be needed for the promotion. I have already participated in IEO bounties and they have been good so far. Advertising is an old time job and a necessity in every growing ecosystem so i think we're on a good side.

In addition, not all projects have a sufficient amount of available funds that they can spend on registering with the IEO platform of some sort of large exchange.

right, because scam projects will think twice if they want to use the IEO because they need a lot of capital to register differently with ICO which is very easy to use by fraudsters.
so I also feel the IEO is quite safe for investment.

as example, some IEO projects still have bounty campaigns here at BTT and anyone can join them and later sell reward tokens at the exchange.

How can we think that IEOs not bad? Or it is can not scam with us. People now in very much tension about their money for different IEO and ICO.
Now IEO is very popular than ICO. Before ICO was good, but now IEO on ranking.

Advertising is always needed. It does not matter ICO this or IEO. Now I already participate in the bounty which makes IEO. So there is no threat to bounty from IEO.

There's no threat at all to bounty from IEOs and as you've stated, a healthier ecosystem will do us all more good as IEOs guarantee (to an extent) better projects with value going forward. A perfect example to illustrate this point would be ECOMI (http://bit.ly/2K0GUby)

IEOs became a big trend these days. Everyone talking IEOs better than the ICOs. We can sure it near in the future. But I will wait sometime to watch things how going on. Just following the Zoptax project. hope things will be good.

yeah we don't have to take a worry of it, that is right now ICO is not be the first chooses again for investor because so many ICO is just a scam project.
if ICO die that mean bounty hunter is don't needed again ? no, bounty hunter is still needed.
because when all project launch IEO it still need a promotion from we as bounty hunter.

not at all IEO campaign provide a Bounty campaign, i see many new project when they launching IEO keep running bounty campaign, and i don't think Bounty Campaign are died nearly

no i don't think some project don't needed bounty hunter for increase their sales.
they are just need people for build the community and keep running the ecosystem from the project keep a live, because without community some proect is nothing

In order to be successful, any project requires advertising, so we will not stay at all without an ICO. Many companies already pay attention to IEO, this gives us more guarantees for the safety of projects and, accordingly, more investor confidence. It does not interfere.

Exchanges they don't need too many advertisements. For ex. Last IEO was Harmony at Binance and When Binance announced the Harmony IEO, all bounties stopped.

Wherever you spend money, scams and fraud won’t be far behind. Whether it be any business or investment, scams are always there. This is also one the reasons why ICO became slow in the past year.  Scammers used this opportunity to scam people without delivering the desired technology.

For most of people IEO can be really profitable and if you have small capital, then you can earn on IEO and it multiply your investment.
All of my friends participate in IEO

IEO is just another field wherein promotions and supports will be very much welcome. The thing is it is just starting right now, but sooner or later it may boom. However, ICO will not die with the emergence IEO because ICO already proven its worth in setting up new projects. A lot of successful cryptocurrencies started with ICO, so it'll be hard to dislodge ICO.

IEO is present to provide changes that are good in crypto currencies. IEO is not a threat but a challenge to get better. The rise of the IEO was like a helping god after the crisis of confidence in the ICO. Bounty campaign hunters are still needed for the IEO. As with ICO, the IEO needs partners to promote their projects. The difference is only if the IEO offers their kin early before the prizes from the bounty campaign are shared. Therefore, working on the IEO is more challenging.

We are talking here about it's threat to bounty hunters i think. OP is right as every project needed exposure to community that advertisers should not be neglected and IEO team should consider their help to succeed and spread the word of their project.

I'm more concerned about the impact of IEO to the entire crypto space, and not just promoters of the project. IEO is a welcome development since listing is sure, team is verified too. 

Staying calm will not change the fact that ieo is taking the chance to sideline ICO and that will go a long way to affect so many things like bounty, scam project and advance in the blockchain technology.

There is need for regulation in this crypto ecosystems but with ieo in place I think the regulation is mere small and can be done in the region or country in which the project is launching from which has to be the govern law to abide with in case of any irregular act.

Bounty campaign is one of many ways to marketing the project and i think every new project need marketing. A lot IEOs project held bounty campaign and i think its good to success because i am believe bounty hunters help the project reach the target

Bounty hunters should be glad with IEO because reward token more faster listed in market rather than waiting developers team waiting negotiation with exchangers. Sometimes reward from ICOs not listed in market more than 6 months and with IEOs not more than 1 month after IEO ended, token get listed in market.

not all IEOs give permission for bounty campaigns. such as binance which provides a project ban on bounty activities during the IEO. but if the IEO is done in another exchange I don't think there is a problem with that.

I think crypto community should be glad with IEO because with many scam ICOs in 2018, IEO could gain more trust from new investor. Many project thru ICO right now hard to achieve the target, not because the project are not good but its because many people trauma with ICOs condition in 2018

What we should fear about is the fake projects and scammers instead of fearing ICO, IEO or STO. ICO, IEO, and STO are just a means of collecting funds from investors and a means of advertising a project. Now ICO has been replaced by IEO and STO. So there is nothing to worry about. But just be on alert that scammers might bite you.

I have never been worried about that because there are still many projects that require bounty hunter support even some projects that are running IEO now also need bounty hunter support like xcrypt

Even if there's a new technology, ICO will remain active because he just meet a competitor which is the IEO and not a destruction to ICO. Eventually when investors already knows the difference with these two then for sure they will make decision, only goo will remain but many coins are still trusting the ICO process. IEO's is a good opportunity, I don't feel the threat but if you have the money to invest go for good projects it doesn't matter if its IEO or ICO.

For the bounty hunters side, there is nothing to worry as they can still work, well hopefully IEO in Binance also will its bounty so the bounty hunting will be once again more exciting and profitable.

The advent of IEO is a blessing to the crypto space instead, at least a lot of those ICO scammers will no longer have a field day as they should be looking elsewhere to scam, bounty will continue to exist either for new or existing projects, the worry however should be how much they are willing or able to pay. So far we are not complaining but conformable with the development

maybe the bounty can be done before the IEO is done. because as far as I know when a binance makes a sale the IEO project may not carry out bounty activities. or maybe the project will pause for campaign activities and continue it again.

Regardless of how project sales are going to be executed, bounty hunters will always be needed and be relevant. Most of the ICO I bought were as a result of recommendation from airdroppers and hunters, I got some from CMC too, I will likely not miss recommendations from friends. Exchanges need marketing to attract traffic too.

If you are ICO lover dont be panic and dont be bothered by ieo because ieo cant replace icos because ieo gives disa9s also to investors,so some investors still stick at ico and i have the project ico that csn give you huge benefits and this is the Dencoin tokens.

I think we're pretty safe as the exchange will be on the hook if they mess up.

Gives the project a small airgap as such.

what kind of inconvenience does IEO bring? In my opinion, ieo is a new format that makes investments more reliable. Of course, ICO will remain but not for long time

there will be other ways to make money other than promoting ICO. as long as BTT continues to exist, BTT will become a reference in the development of cryptocurrencies in the world. just as ICO morphed into IEO. as well as bounties there will be other ways besides promoting the ICO. keep calm and post.

I would not agree with you and think that IEOs are one of the most successful projects at the market at this moment. A lot of them have already made x10 and it is not even a bullish trend now, so they are a threat for ICOs and STOs already.

Advertisements are always required. Bounty hunting may halt as for now, but they will increase as IEO will come.
Advertisement is a very crucial part of any business, whether it be IEO or ICO or the popular Binance IEO. Bounty campaigns will always be there, so don’t worry. But more and more people are getting into the bounty hunting, meaning the reward will be harder to get. Otherwise, everything will probably be ok, as far as I think.

IEOs aren't a threat. What makes you think that? I believe IEOs are rather introduced to replace ICOs to help curb the scam activities and to make things and investment easier.

I think better that the IEO be given an excess position than the ICO. The IEO has a guarantee of eliminating the SCAM project and the IEO has a guaranteed guarantee for those who participate. I agree more if the IEO will master the crypto project.

IEO are eliminating the opportunity of the ICO projects, as we can see, ICO market are not that popular like before and they have big problem in raising funds as most investors now are trusting IEO and the exchange.

They will not hesitate to submit their KYC information because they trust the exchange they are using and that makes the IEO project and the exchange very successful now.

We might be seeing some limited number of IEO but believe that it will grow overtime, it will beat the funds raise by ICO at its peak.

IEO are more secured funding than Icos IEO need to follow some rules then only they are being accepted by exchangers  so we can select the best Ieo and invest

Exactly, now investors have gotten this opportunity as an alternative to ICOs because these offerings are secure and trusty as compare to ICOs. Due to the involvement of scammers in ICOs the whole reputation destroyed. Who says IEOs are threat? There is no point in to keep this opinion because all of us are observing and noticing the progress and performance of IEOs which is going very well on secure exchanges.

IEOs are new options for investors to get the token of platform without worrying about scammers. Scammers don't like this token sale model for an obvious reasons, performance of scammers goes down ever month. ICOs are outdated, IEOs are increasing the popularity of investment projects.

IEOs have been around for a while, no known negativity have been attached to IEO projects. It is a scam free space, every one can give it a chance as it is better than ICOs.

As the IEO trend is going well and all IEO success in exchanges including Binance so IEO will be grow more in coming days so this is not a threat ,you can invest in IEO.

you are right. I have seen several bounty campaigns from IEO projects and they even look better than bounties from ICO projects.

Yes, IEO should be profitable scheme, so I suggest that some of you guys would easily try to invest and in most cases you guys earn money in crypto industry

Of course, the IEO is not a threat, but as a more effective step than ICO for the success of the project. Media promotion will always be needed as a link to information from the project to the community. So, bounty hunters don't have to worry and still have many opportunities to make a profit.

IEO's are a threat to their own campaign. If they take too much time trying to gather money then there could be another competitor with the same idea able to launch their product first before the IEO/ICO is finished.

from the beginning I never thought that the IEO would be a threat to bounty hunters, even I am grateful, with the existence of the IEO we will be more protected from scamer (there are only a few scamer in this program). and in fact there are currently many bounty projects with the IEO program, and this is very good.

With IEOs launching bounty, bounty hunters will be protected from the usual troubles they experience like unpaid bounties, slashed allocation, and more seriously scam.

Initial exchange offering isn't a threat, rather it is good because first the problem of listing wouldn't be a problem if the project is sold out and also bounty hunters are sure of the project they are promoting being list. So it is advantageous.

The problem is that a lot of trading platforms are faking data about IEOs. Many IEOs are sold on small platforms but sell out after only a few minutes. The exchanges are faking data to trick investors, which is adversely affecting genuine IEOs

Of course IEO is not a threat
The main threat is investors who invested in the IEO but have no knowledge or information on what they are doing

It is never good thing when a project investors are fill with people who have no idea what they are doing or invested
That would results a lot of FUD when price doesn't go up
Thus, making the project salty imo

Though there is still a possibility that IEOs will end up something as a scam or a bad project, I think most of them are performing better than ICOs and are more worth looking than ICOs. But it's not that I am trying to convince people that get in to IEOs because there are still good ICOs out there.

you are right but some exchanges IEO like binance are. I can remember a project whom had its IEO on binance and was running a bounty before that. They had to stop the bounty halfway because had to tell them to do so. So if all projects had to be on binance or we have many exchange like binance,  then it will become a threat

Anything do have the possibility and when it comes to investment there's no assurance that you wont really experience such loss.
The difference here between IEO is that it is already traded up on exchange once it launched.You cant differentiate if the project do really
have the potential or just die after such launch.

That's right, holding an IEO does not mean the project do not need extra advertising. Of course, Exchange is doing the marketing, but some projects are holding Bounty campaigns as well.

even before the launchpad was exchanged for the IEO, many projects have started advertising on several ICO sites and even as you say, there are still many projects that require bounty hunter services. before the sale of the IEO I thought it was important to make everyone know their project.

Almost everyone just thinks that the IEO is a new replacement for the development of projects, and the end of the ICO era but the fact is that as you say, good ICO is constantly appearing, people should not miss and think too negatively about ICO. Instead of maintaining those thoughts, we should have a more general vision, think that the IEO is a new playground for investors, and ICO is an old playground, as long as there are potential projects, investors will focus on that place, more playgrounds, more opportunities

Many coins always connected between ICO and IEO, its the best way how to make price keep higher with many investor will trust about their project and have exchange market for listing at the end of IEO and ICOs.

The results after being listed will the defining factors whether the project is good and can compete with the market or it will just die naturally same with those projects that came from ico's in which didn't take long before being forgotten around this industry, performances will still be the advantage of any projects that wanted to stay and succeed more.

most IEO coins are successful because of restrictions on the number of investors and coins that can be bought. it makes investors who do not get their coins will buy on the market when they are traded. so there will be a high purchasing power that can make prices continue to rise even though many sell the coins. we can see it only on a good IEO project. mostly done in binance.

As for me, ICO and IEO are the same thing. The only advantage of IEO is that after its implementation, the projects immediately go on the stock exchange and one does not have to wait for it for half a year. There is another bad thing. IEO started to hold all the exchanges in a row and not only good ones, but also small ones, from which there is no sense.

Don't be scared. Just calm down. IEOs are not threats and our place as bounty hunters cannot be overturned. So, there is a totally nothing to worry about.

When there's a changes in the market, we should accept it and still find an opportunity to earn from it.
IEO attracts more investors in the market and we've clearly seen that now, what's happening is an improvement, something to be happy of.
Crowdfunding was not successful during the bear period but when it was introduced by Binance, people start to get interested again because they see some good results and they believe they will not be scam.

Every new thing which comes to the market requires advertisement to make it a brand and IEO's also required it and it is not a threat to bounty hunters but rewards are reducing due to huge participation by new people in this field.

IEO are just the ICO that moved to exchanges. IEO on popular exchanges may not need to advertise but with the increase in number, they'd require some advertising in order to get investors interest. So, the bounty campaign are not going to stop unless the fund raising through crypto stops.

Yup that's right almost all of the big brands are advertising their projects and it is pretty normal. Bounty campaigns will definitely not get affected if IEO really success, there will be always some people that would trust ICO because sometimes there is a big difference between the two when it comes in the overall profit.
The only thing that they are not the same is security and assurance. But all in all I think we don't really have to worry about this right now.

I can unequivocally express that today crypto currency is something that will create regardless, however IEO isn't what we truly were hanging tight for or sitting tight for. Presently everything looks exceptionally terrible in light of the fact that this is strong centralization and I love what Moonbase ieo is also doing too

ICO and IEO is a means to pool a funds to fund their project. In order, to achieve their goal funding they need advertisement, I don't think bounties will die eventually.

Both the IEO and ICO all need a promotion. Elrond is one of the IEO held by Binance who making a bounty campaign to promote their project after they are already on Exchange.
Bounty campaign is not always before the project release, but you can also promote your project even when it's already running.

And who said IEOs are threats? There is no project which doesn't need promotions. Even Harmony that did IEO on Binance did bounty campaigns. I've done a couple of bounties for projects doing IEO so I see no reason why someone should see IEOs as threat to bounties. Promotions are needed to boost awareness of a project.

Lukki is a nice platform for IEO http://lukki.io

Do not take it as a paid ad, they do offer a nice low-cost solution for projects

Mainly, they held IEO for Venus Energy and Lancer.Network where hardcap was achieved

   Exactly, both ICO and IEO are means to fund projects, team choose better approach in order to get more money for their project. I`m sure that some projects are better
for IEO, but not everyone have access to exchanges due their regulations and KYC requirements. On other side ICO`s can work more anonymously but it has flaws too.
   I think both IEO and ICO can be good and bad, success of the project depends from many other factors too. This is just one of the two possible solutions how to fund the
project in crypto-world.

IEO is not a threat at all, even this is the best solution to eliminate scamer. in this way benefiting many parties including the bounty hunter, the bounty hunters will be more protected from futile work and without paying anything due to scamer.

Bounties will never die. It's like thinking the internet will die. No business in the contemporary world can even survive without advertisements and that's what bounty campaign does for various projects and the ICOs. So, there's nothing to be afraid of, bounty campaign can never die

maybe now IEO is making an interest because it has a relationship with IEO now maybe you should trust more with some exchanges like binance that support IEO and it can be used as one of the trusted things and there is no fraud in IEO

the market is changing, improving, so I also do not consider IEO a threat, advertising will always be needed, I think with the growth of the market everything will return to the level of 2017

Even ICO is gone and replace now by IEO of many exchanges.
Bounty campaign will not die as it is still need by the team to advertise their project.
There are many people in this world and not all of them are in just one exchange.

Nobody should be scared of IEO taking the place of bounty.  For now bounty ia one of the cheapest way of a peoject creating awareness
And publicity and to this effect dev of project wont just discard the importance of bounty for any peoject. As long and many IEO keps being launched then bounty will also remain for a very long time

A good crypto ecosystem is the thing that we ought to discuss and not exactly what we will get promptly in shit coin or next to no division of btc (as we have seen the value fall.)

Truly, if a superior crypto ecosystem is set up, icos will concoct benefitting projects that even where you did an advert for them in abundance, you will wish to be paid with the coin and not btc, etheruem or some other set up altcoin, at that point you will hodl and not dump in desire for increment in cost so you can improve more addition than what you would have been paid in bitcoin. That is significant and not shit coin bounties

ieo is now very lose interest, at the moment almost all ieo are unprofitable, it is better now to look for bitcoin and after bitcoin again will be bullish you can go to the ieo.

Of course, if the project is able to implement IEO in good exchange, they don't need to create a bounty program. And look at the shitexchange projects that are scam projects and scam bounty

IEO is basically ICO but with extra steps, there's nothing to worry about. If people are worrying that IEO will replace ICO or the bounty aswell maybe they just don't know that IEO also needs advertisement and what use of IEO if no one knows about it.
On the other hand IEO will not totally make ICO go extinct because ICO is still a good way to crowdfund independently from exchange.

Just like in ICOs where bounty played a vital role in spreading the word around, same is the case of IEOs; in fact almost all projects going for IEO are running one bounty or the other, with some doing VIP bounties too. I think the only concern should be in identifying genuine ones and not the ones that will end up playing with their bounty participants. Many team knows that, bounty is easy to host (although some team are fraudulent) and also has wider reach than paying a single crypto expert to promote their IEO or as the case maybe.

If there is a change in whatever form in the crypto space, even if it seems bounty hunters will be affected, there are other means of earning. As a matter of fact, IEO can still be done in line with bounty and things have been working fine. Also, IEO is just a way of ensuring that investors trust the fundraising system, which is working fine.

But if the bounty is earlier and IEO at the end, then I think it's better that people will feel happy because it has been promoted, IEO on Bitmex or other big exchanges will be even more successful.

Well, the idea of IEOs is superb due to the organization of the token sales on the exchange platform. Although not all IEOs are trust worthy, the idea of IEO in general has come to revolutionize the way token sales are performed. In IEOs, investors are assured of their tokens after making payment as the exchange serves as intermediaries to ensure both parties are satisfied during the transaction, unlike the old ICOs where funds could be directly to the project and may not receive the funds in some instances.

I think you are mistaken by the fact that some IEO are indeed need help of some hunter support. Not all IEOs are capable of producing such stance or popularity on the crypto community. For example, exchange like Binance can really pump up some of their IEO projects but some mid range exchange cannot such as exmarket, probit, latoken and other exchange offering launchpad for new projects.

I think that if the IEO is held at an exchange place that has a high reputation, the IEO can be said to be safe, such as the Binance exchange place that often holds IEO and there is very safe to be able to participate as an IEO participant.

no problem with IEO right now, but i am not sure in future. Have many IEO is not good for quality and price.

Yes, the services of bounty hunters are still needed and useful, but how much? Of course, all the noise that we are raising attracts some number of investors, but how much it is.
In general, the situation is difficult for the bounty, especially in the framework of altcoins. Projects are getting worse and worse, the market itself allows only good projects
to function normally. However, not all good projects carry out bounties, and if they do, then finding them among all the garbage that enters the market every day is not such an easy task, but doable.

Many of the recent IEOs got listed at a discount to their original valuation. This may be a sign that the hype surrounding the IEOs is beginning to fade. Earlier, the investors were showing a lot of interest in the listings and the exchanges were careful with the projects. But now the interest from the investors have waned and some of the exchanges are no longer screening the projects to keep out the scam IEOs.

If the situation doesn't improve, then what happened with the ICOs will repeat with the IEOs as well. And if that occurs, then it won't do any good for the bounty hunters. The death of IEOs won't have a positive impact on the ICOs. For the bounty hunters, this is not going to be beneficial in any way. Both the IEOs and ICOs need bounty campaigns, and a slowdown means less number of campaigns for the hunters to participate.

don't worry, bounty hunters don't need to wait or just hope for the ICO project. because there is an IEO project that until now also continues to hold a bounty campaign. they still need the important role of bounty hunter, which is paid by developers very cheaply than paying for ads on several exchanges or the media.

IEO is not a threat to the bounty hunters. Every new project need advertisement and requires a bounty hunter to promote it. I believe IEO will be better than ICO and reduce scam project. It can become the standard model for fundraising in the crypto space and, possibly, even create the next fundraising boom.

in fact, for IEO projects on small exchanges the team will need marketing. but for good projects like ONE, they don't need bounty hunters and so they offer very low pool levels.
Anyway, IEO still has a negative impact on bounty hunters like us. Since the start of the IEO, my salary has been significantly reduced.

Yes, that's right, there are no threats IEO, ICO, both companies will remain in the market, and advertising is needed by all the more so in such a forum.

I participated in many ICO bounty campaigns that conducted ICOs first and then IEOs on the exchange. Participating in such subscription campaigns is even better, because after the date of the IEO, the signature campaign usually ends, and does not continue for several months, as is often the case in ICO projects. Therefore, I do not see any threat to bounty hunters from IEO projects.

Until now I have not felt that IEO is a Threat. In fact, each project still conducts a Bounty Campaign even though they do not do an ICO. Because every project requires extensive promotion for the sale of their tokens, be it IEO or ICO.

ieo is a means for developers to sell their tokens and every token sale is made, of course there will be a need for promotional tools, so that, the project can be known by various cryptocurrency communities in the world, and one of the roles of the bounty hunter is to promote the ieo project properly and as broad as possible, so that later their project sales can reach maximum income when the ieo Project runs on the trading market, so that between Ieo and the Bounty Hunter has an interest in being mutually beneficial between the two.
so, it is not possible ieo can be a threat to bounty participants.

Majority of the IEOs on the big exchanges don't need additional marketing from bounty hunters in order to sell out unlike their ICO counterparts. The massive customers on these exchanges are more than enough, so I don't see IEO giving rise to bounty hunting instead it will affect it drastically.

IEO is an evolution of ICOs. Nobody wants to invest funds in projects that are going to be listed within a year from the token sale. IEOs are solving this problem and leaving investors happy to sell in profit directly after sales.

In fact, there will be a lot of IEO scam projects in this market and before investing you need to study very carefully because the current market can greatly impact IEO projects. I think the safest option right now is to join the IEO projects proposed by big exchanges because these are the ones that can help you to make a higher profit if you're lucky.

Of course the risk is still possible because IEO in the past 1 month is not much outstanding and you can lose money if you invest in a bad IEO project.

Companies spend massive amounts of money on advertising and it will not go away. Thinking it will go away is foolish and you should probably stay away from those people.
How can anyone be interested in a project they don't know about? Bounty hunter is just a promotor or social media marketer. Unless you a shit bounty hunter and just see numbers in your head and what you have to do to attain those numbers and totaly forget the project and what it is all about.

IEO or ICO is not a threat. Scammers and greedy people are.

although there is already a bounty hunter or promotion in other forums on social media. I think a good project will still do and should do marketing in crypto relevant media or with their project which is the best market of the project. it is the best way to maximize marketing if the team wants to get better results than just relying on advertising done around the IEO exchange community.

I'm ready for everything, the main thing is that in the ICO there are fewer scammers. No one has said that there will always be bounty. The structure changes with time.

Therefore don't choose IEO in a bad or less popular exchange, because it will be risky, and fraud is also a lot against IEO, not just ICO, the proposal in the big exchange is also good like KAVA Lauchpad IEO in Binance, I'm sure there will be many people participating because will produce 5x.

Since Binance has a great name in the crypto industry and trusted by almost all users and devs, and their team are also doing their job as they are investigating the project that would love to be listed in their exchange in due diligence. So, IEO in their exchange is really worth it, no wonder they do have a lot of investors, and always sold out in just few minutes.

but it is necessary to choose a good IEO to invest because although security can be said to be good but projects that have different potential so you have to look for the best potential. for project safety I think it has been solved in the investment method in IEO so concerns about fraud projects have been resolved provided that the IEO is on an exchange that already has trust

Bounty hunting became a vital part of the crypto industry and it would not be easily replaced by anything new in the market. IEO will need bounty hunters one way or another so it is unnecessary to panic because of this. It also doesn't mean that ICO will not go back in the trend in the maket. It is not guaranteed that ICO will be gone for good. The only thing that I believe to be sure of is that bounty hunters are essential players in this industry.

IEOs are indeed not a threat to bounty hunters. The bounty system have attached itself firmly in the market and new trends like IEO are expected to adapt to it. Bounty system had help many of us and will continue to do so in the future years. Many IEOs will soon appear and since bounties are financially worthy than other investments, many future IEOs will use the method.

yes you are right we don't need to worry about IEO. IEO is not a threat. precisely with IEO proving cryptocurrency is growing. and for an ICO project that clearly will always need advertisements and bounty hunters to be able to promote new projects. hopefully in the future ICO and IEO will grow.

Yes, its so firmly attach to the market that most ICOs dont even pay their participants and they pay too low that you would get frustrated for advertising it for many months.

Yes that's true IEO is not threat if we are careful to choose trusted IEO, If we look at the forum we all see so many new IEO project coming. But as we bounty hunters we need to search more and need to careful because their are to many IEO project are now are not success or to be going scam. Im always encounter on that kind of project that trying to scam to the people are willing to invest. And as i said not all IEO is scam some of them are worth to invest and participate for bounty.

It is not, but it limit us to participate new projects because of IEO. which is good marketing for them. maybe bounty campaigns aren't enough to spread project useful because more investors and curios users are usually made their own research so for sure developers think about this. but luckily there are still many projects run a bounty campaigns and still depending on it.

Not only the scammers, IEO will help in reducing scams but there is no guarantee that when you invest in a project it will be successful and give you the profit you desire, that's the bigger risk.

I trust along these lines, in light of the fact that right now numerous individuals are exceptionally frustrated with the province of ICO which doesn't give benefit and furthermore bounties that don't pay. I trust that in the following couple of months the IEO or ICO will show signs of improvement
