Bitcoin Forum

Most members of this forum have participated in one bounty or the other and must have been shocked by the project team either by not paying them, payment reduced to $0 after 16 weeks of hard job or the token/coin does not get listed or the project is a scam entirely.

Can we now agree that the IEO projects will protect the interests of the bounty hunters ?

To participate in projects that conduct IEOs is safer than those that conduct ICO. By the way, tomorrow startsat the project Gexan, they also launched airdrop.

I also support ytaevv idea, because most ICO always promises what they cannot afford to pay and refuse to pay at the end of the program, some will even runaway with the investors funds without implementing their project.
IEO appears to be safer though only time shall tell.

We are assuming that with IEO as opposed to the usual ICO the tokens has no need to look for any exchange since the crowdsale is already there, there is lesser chance that a project can go scam or just fail and never able to reach the exchange (based on our experiences with many ICOs in the past). I am then wishing that STOs will be using the IEO route too so we can have the advantages of both platforms.

Are there bounties now that mainly focuses with IEO? I don't think that even the bounty hunters are protected by these IEOs. For investors, yes they can be secured through IEO but it doesn't guarantee anything for the bounty hunters.

Many ICO bounty ran from their participants but so far with IEO bounty, I haven't seen one existing today. I mean, I haven't seen a bounty that promotes IEO.

I participated in many bounty campaigns of ICO projects in 2018. Of these, there are several projects that have paid me part of the rewards or did not pay anything to me and now several such projects are being conducted by IEO. They promise me to pay the full reward after IEO. Frankly speaking, the teams of these projects are public and actively conduct social networks. I got some trust from them because bounty went great.

It is important to understand that when IEO project goes to exchange and his tokens begin to be traded and i not have tokens yet, then most likely i will sell these tokens at the lowest price.

Therefore, i like STO projects more than ever because they are subject to regulators.

Nothing hinders projects doing IEO to delay distribution for bounty hunters. As it was before, distribution can be realized when the price is ridiculous.
It would be more correct to hope for the progress of the projects so that the assets receive security due to the demand.
I sincerely hope that in the foreseeable future there will be at least a few more projects that will work stably, and the demand for their assets will be provided with fundamental reasons.

In my opinion, it makes no difference whether IEO or ICO. If the project does not pay the bounty participants, an IEO does not change anything about it. So I wouldn't rely on it. An IEO guarantees that the token will really be traded on an exchange afterwards, but if bounty participants weren't paid, it won't do them any good.  ;)

We are still in assuming that IEO would give better than of ICO, but never have any assurance that they will give of what they promise to the Bounty hunters. If a certain IEO project will have a successful end,  may we think that bounty hunter will be profitable as well as investors.  

With the concept of IEO we can say that it protects the bounty hunters because it can give them an assurance that the coin is already listed but somehow it can also be a trap since the team can make their coins delisted and in the end the bounty hunters can be again a victim.

There is no interest in protecting the interest of the bounty hunters and there are so many bounty hunters which will still work for such campaigns. You can protect yourself by not participating in those campaigns.

What projects and exchanges matter is the investors, bounty hunters needs to protect their self by studying the project to really earn from it as time passes by.

I agree with you . If the IEO project is sold out within a short period of time, the bounty participants will earn a huge amount of money but very few projects can do it because if it is a good exchange, they will not need marketing strategy. I think in the near future many large projects will have a clearer development strategy and will definitely need bounty hunters to be able to serve the purpose of the project.

I understand your point of view. Really, there is no protection from the bounty one is involved in because the developers are interested only in their project, the money they have invested in and money to get. Therefore, is better to work with a bounty that will deliver but the issue is that IEO is better than ICO for bounty hunters.

it does have the guarantee to protect hunters but not 100%, as it's still depends on the dev team if they will give the reward or not.. some campaign are paying by dividing it through monthly distribution  ;D

the question is whether most IEOs currently use bounty hunters to get promotions? I don't think so and it's the same as we won't get a job from the IEO. Indeed this is a choice

I think if related to bounty, IEO almost same with ICO. Because it rules and anything else that related to it is decided by developer and bounty manager. But maybe because of hype, we bounty hunter wouldn't worry if project scam or not.

IEO, ICO, STO seems like they don't protect bounty hunters except BM or bounty manager who holds the bounty, so seeing a good bounty manager will keep us from avoiding paying projects. because usually a smart BM will first escrow a token or money to be paid for a bounty hunter

This is good. Here are the terms https://lottery.gexan.io

The whole of the discussion is that bounty hunters need to research before they enter a bounty and some managers too who are trusted can be followed because at the end, the manager will want to follow up and ensure that tokens are distributed to avoid being neg.

Nope. They just find ways not to pay the bounty hunters. To keep you waiting for months will result to not paying you at all, take a look at the projects being promoted for the longest time like the Desico project. Up to today no one yet had been paid yet though they ask for invoices, they didn't tell hunters a date of distribution. The research is thorough but with such team that find ways not to pay you, its impossible.

As for the team doing IEO, they may also find ways.

You better create a thread about of them not paying their participants, by doing this you may find the truth about them and the rest of the bounty hunters who are also waiting too. ICO is already banned in China, that's why this new IEO might be their best shot since most of the countries have different law about ICO.

Thank you for mentioning the aspirations of the bounty hunters. At the time of ICO, we are not protected. You can't do anything without results and fraud. That is disrespectful behavior for bounty hunters. The IEO offers new hopes for us when coins are listed on exchanges and paid to investors as well as bounty hunters.

If we take into account that the project itself is already operational, then it is very profitable to participate in airdrop. I heard that the token will appear on the exchanges tomorrow https://p2pb2b.io/token-sale/GEX

I think the major reason ico project team refuses to pay the bounty hunters is because they control all the funds raised without any supervision but IEO requires some buy back like 50% of the total sold and the project funds are been monitored by the exchange team.

There might be similar problem like that of the ico for the bounty hunters regarding the IEO but that can not be an immediate issue.

At this time, there are bounties for IEO promotion and they seem to present less risk than the usual ICO ones, nevertheless I think this will be temporary, as at first we have IEO's being screened by the exchange team, and with guaranteed listing, but then some IEOs are already happening with no listing, and with so many exchanges popping everywhere, the IEOs will only work as a temporary patch.
There are not many projects with no ICO and a bounty, but there are some around.... and some already listed...
but it takes work!

Well, when you are talking about IEO, then I don't think you need to talk about bounty anymore, because IEO as the name implies “initial coin offering” are conducted by exchanges that have made name for themselves in the crypto space and I don't think would need a bounty to operate, I believe that the main reason ICO companies conduct bounty is for this bounty hunters to create awareness for them, since it would cost a lot of funds if one wants to pay an advertising agency to run ad for a blockchain project.

If IEOs take place why would there be the need to have bounty hunters?

All users on that exchange will know about the IEO therefore leaving bounty hunters redundant.

Your point is very correct when fund raising is taking into considerations but a good project must have maximum exposures to both investors and end users. Bounty hunters shall bring in users while exchanges provide investors.

Have they started IEO yet? A link to their topic please. I'm interested in the project Gexan

Only if the team is legit and they will pay what they promise.
IEO projects are good because they will be listed right away, and I think the team behind the project will not ruin their reputation as the price may dump.
They will pay of course, but we cannot guarantee they will, but compared to ICO, IEO is better IMO.

Whats the assurance that this IEO will protect the bounty hunters?

Lol this will only happen at the start but in ths long run they will also abused the bounty hunters, and aren't you getting tired of this shits?why not just join bitcoin paying campaigns and not those paying shitcoins or mostly scams

Join the discussion.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5136520

Why?

What has your link got to do with the subject matter of this thread?

Their ICO already ended last year. They got the funds and soon after that they declare their token to be STO and that participants need KYC and all.  There were lots of discussions but I lost track of it. I'm not part of the campaign though but I saw it happened in their thread.

This is what happen when there is no escrows to the funds. IEO well its safer when both parties and all are telling the truth.

To me IEO really protect bounty hunters and that is because they can easily sell the coins because there are listed in exchange.  Many projects has concluded there icos but up till now could not paid the bounty hunters and because of this I full support IEO that everything is done through exchange.

Is bounty hunting possible on IEO? I thought exchanges do all the jobs themselves. Guess you're talking about STO.
I think some ICO bounty platforms protect their hunters reasonably well and they are more meticulous in ico selection

You will not going to see bounties in upcoming IEOs, they will eliminate the bounty allocation in their total supply.
IEO are booked ICOs on exchanges, so they will not going to appreciate bounty programs and bounty hunters.

I agree but it seems people posting here are still thinking those IEOs will need promoting and advertising so bounty hunters will be required.

Just as you said, I also think bounty hunters will be made redundant for IEOs

what protection? right now a lot of IEO do not have a bounty program, look at binance IEO, its any bounty program for celer, etc?

It will not make any difference to bounty hunters, because if the project does not want to pay after the campaign? What guarantee will IEO provide for bounty hunters?

There is no bounties on IEO so nope, there is no work for bounty hunters on IEO. I don't understand with that protect word as you said OP.

What i know is IEO protect investors, so the investors don't need to worry to get scammed because the IEO usually hosted by a big exchange like binance and huobi

See mate, the hype some of these exchanges have are what is making any project they register get sold out on time, especially Binance, but a time will come that project will become too much that they will need the services of hunters too to broadcast it to the rest of the world.

Recently I read where someone complained about bittrex having an IEO project for like over 2 weeks and yet, the percentage of fund raised left to meet up is still very much. Because the hype is already over and IEO is no longer a new thing to the existing users, so they will need new people, that is where hunters will come in, and I am sure since its exchanges that will also be handling the part of hunters, they would have already gotten the allocation for hunters too ready.

For now, I still don’t see the relationship between IEO and bounty hunters except you make your own opinion know to us. ICO use bounty hunters directly to bring about the knowledge of their project and product to services the investors, but exchanges has already taken this job away from hunters as they do the campaign themselves because of the trust people already have in them.

So their names already does the campaign which projects developers pays them money that ought to have been paid to hunters, so why are we celebrating people that are taking our money for themselves alone.

There is, you can check in the  Bounties (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0)

some of the bounties, I search are

I have not check the project above yet, these are just example and I am not recommending to participate on it.

I think IEO projects are more safe. But it will still depend on them whether they are going to pay the participants or the investors. That is the only thing that matters to me. IEO or ICO, they shouldn't run away and they must have the integrity. And I think there must be a platform that will identify or verify their legitimacy as a project.

The marketing might be done by the exchange instead which reduces the need for bounty hunters. 2019 could spell the death bad for good bounty campaigns so best to grab them while we can before it is too late

IEO Projects running bounty campaigns has high chance of paying up their bounty hunters as they are usually listed right after the IEO. But it doesn't mean 100% guarantee to all these IEO projects. Those IEOs run by small exchanges are still not safe from scammers.

Ummm.. sorry we don't talk so much with the guy that doesn't even wanna see the bounty section before create any comments. Are you so blindly or what? Some IEOs have created their campaign and more IEO comes. Consider the fact the competition of launch pad in any exchange platform will create a very strict competition. Just visit bounty section and you must start to count how much IEO that already created bounty campaign to pay more attention from investors.

You don't know what should you do then.

It is really hard to find legit bounty campaigns today and this would be a huge help for bounty hunters.
Yeah, it's up to them if they will risk their time for this. But it could have chances that this project is legit since it has already listed in the market.

Does IEO made a task rewards like bounty?
IEO is a new way on how the project make fundraising using a third person services. This will be more secure, because the one who handle the fundraising is the exchange itself and the project teams hands off from that.

To be a part of the IEO it is a must to have funds to participate. I haven't come across any of the token that has got into availability for investment has organized a bounty. If there are such bounties surely it'll be better than ICO as we get the access to trading in a short compared to the one through an ICO.

Yes, right, now bounty hunters prioritize IEO projects over ICO, maybe because the IEO is more clear about the project and not scam. But I assume, when all goes to the IEO it will make massive dumping.

As in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139787.0, he did not trust the IEO because when he bought it it was not as expected. In my opinion, the IEO in the future will only lead to greater dumping and more investor losses.

I see that some IEO teams do not run bounty campaigns and I, as a bounty hunter, do not like this very much.
As for the degree of protection of our rights, I do not see much difference in this between the projects ICO and IEO. From the point of view of protecting the rights of investors and other participants of these projects, while they are not yet optimal, since there is no regulatory body. The exchanges that conduct IEO projects through themselves have slightly different tasks and interests.

It doesn't matter to the bounty hunters if price will dump as long as they can sell, rather than spending an effort to ICO where they are not sure when they get their reward they can dump it. Bounty hunters works for reward, they don't invest and hold like investors.

I think when all projects come in IEO then there is no more bounty allocation, we see with some coin that goes to biance, okex, bittrex do the coin hold a bounty program

It is much more safer but I don't really think that it would protect the bounty hunters.
And to be honest the bounty rewards nowadays doesn't really pays good you would only get a low value of Fiat when you convert your bounty reward so for me bounty isn't profitable anymore.

That is already what the IEO platform is for already, the Launchpad is to verify the legitimacy of the project and their identity, and I can say that big exchanges like Binance has really been doing their due diligence in this regards.

That is why IEO projects will always be safer for investors, especially IEO projects that are gotten through these reputable exchanges, so from our own part, in order to make it safer, we must ensure we only deal with IEO launched by very good exchanges and after which we also do our own research on any project they have done their research on too and presented to the public.

yes, project that held IEO protected bounty hunter because there would be no word scam there andbounty hunter would not work in vain while supporting the project

From recent events IEO has not been to beneficial to bounty hunters.  Most atimes bounty managers allocate tokens based on the presale price. At the end durring the IEO price is being slashed to x10 of the presale price,  thus lowering the bounty reward

but not many IEO projects are carrying out bounty campaigns. there are also projects that have successfully made IEO sales at binance, but now it is still in preparation and has not yet materialized.

On what basis have you said this?that IEO will protect the bounty hunters?you should tell us some story on what way this will become trustworthy?remember that bounty hunters are always become the bread and butter of the scammers team because being a hunter we are the one who’s making the project publicized and being popular from the investors and soon becomes a victims.

This is an argument I've upheld in various areas of the cryptosphere and the truth is that with exchanges in charge of disbursement of tokens / coins, investors and bounty hunters are assured of the rewards for their hard work and investors are reassured the exchanges have done due diligence on the projects before deciding to work with them. This is why I hold projects like ECOMI in high regard.

In my opinion, IEO projects will not conduct bounty campaigns due to the lack of need for this. As a rule, the crypto exchange itself carries out the project promotion and provides certain guarantees of listing. Therefore, there is no need for bounty hunter services.

Yes, it is protecting bounty hunters against the job. Think about it.. Bounty campaign is a way how to get investors, marketing strategy.
Listing on big exchange means a good marketing strategy how to get enough investors, why they should then manage a bounty campaign?

of course the existence of the IEO will help the bounty hunter because IEO is a project that has been filtered by large market so chances are, bounty hunters will avoid scam project

I believe that nothing and no one cares about bounty hunters, not all projects that value a job well done since many hunters don't even know what they are promoting. Most of the time, many projects have claimed that the campaign didn't help at all and thus didn't pay. IEO, STO, doesn't guarantee anything for bounty hunters...

Bounty hunters can’t benefit on IEO if the project has no bounty campaigns and I think most of those IEO will not make any bounty campaign because they know that the exchange itself will make a marketing for them. There’s no new successful IEO for now but maybe it will be more when binance got back on track.

I guess hunters are the last ones to think. The project thinks this way is better to find a solution to its problem. Of course, the bounty hunter will also get their reward, but this is not exactly the arrangement for hunters.

Most of the IEOs doesn't offer a bounty campaign, there are only some projects that offered bounty campaign from what I've observed so far.
IEO still new, and it's the current trend over ICO, STO... Maybe we should give some more time before we comment anything positive or negative about the bounty campaign.

But what I can say is, IEOs will be much better than ICOs, STOs in order to protect the bounty hunters.
Also, there is something more which need to be considered is that we will be seeing tons of IEO launchpads which may not be trustable and scam projects will take place there... Bounty hunters need to consider that fact.

It protects them but how much worth do they get from tokens in the end?
As far as i know, bounty hunters have always been allocated tokens much later after the token has started trading and what i observed from IEOs is they dump so hard after getting listed so in the end bounty hunters get less value for their tokens after the distribution.

In my Opinion, IEO/ICOs are no longer worthy of a bounty hunter's time and resources.

Do we even have any IEO project that has really produced any campaign for hunters, there is none that I know for now, because the hype some of these big exchanges has been really making the few IEO projects launched gets sold out within few days and I think until projects become too much on exchanges, before they can start considering to involve bounty hunters.

By that time, people would have gotten over the hypes and then won’t respond that easily to exchanges again based on hype, so they might need the help of hunters which I believe the interest of the hunters will be well protected then.

Yes, really you are right because if they choose to list the coin higher volume exchange then they won't bother about the bounties. The exchange itself gives some reputation to those IEO listing coins because there are many people kept trading in those exchange will help them to grab the cheap coins at the time of IEO.

as far as I know the IEO has been priced and doesn't follow the flow of trade so no one can buy IEO tokens with prices falling, other than that, there are already many IEO projects now make bounty, you can search in tread bounty

IEO guarantees the exchange listing . But as a community we should think that do we really need some more projects in crypto space or support existing platforms in crypto space . We seen lots of white paper with lots of hope . Well Photoshoped team . Doi we really need to support this.

Not really protect bounty hunters but it gives assurance to bounty hunters that the token will get listed right after the IEO. Much better than ICO because some of them dont want to pay high listing fee and choose a free listing exchange with no volume.

I fully agree that no one protects Bounty Hunters and lately not paying remuneration has become the daily practice of most Bounty companies.  and regardless of whether the project is fraudulent or not, there are always some manipulations with the Bounty companies in order not to pay a reward for the Bounty participants.  But in the case of IEO, it is quite likely that the functions of the distributor of advertising of new projects, to a greater extent, can be assumed by the exchange. 

Nope there is no assurance that IEO project will deliver their promised payment to the bounty participants.  No one can guarantee it except the project owner that is if they are true to their words. 

IEO came with the solution IMO, as far as I know bounty hunters need certain profit and most of them want the coin that he promoted can quickly listed on the exchange so they will feel comfortable when the coin has been listing on the exchange at least to measure that the project will give them profit. Different with ICO, they need a long time to measure that the project will give them profit because the coin not necessarily will list on the exchange.

IEO does not protect bounty hunters. It doesn't mean that the bounty hunters are going to be paid or not. I think the risks are the same for bounty hunters. The only advantage is that the coin is going to be traded on an exchange.

 I guess in a way it does, assuming all the aforementioned problems were not actually due to the laxities of the team itself and brought forward to IEO events. The only way I think it helps the bounty hunter is the listing - if they do get to raise the amount they are looking for.

no, the IEO has nothing to do with the bounty hunter. even though the IEO was successful, bounty hunters did not necessarily get the same results. some even decided to dismiss the bounty program unilaterally and some were unclear [not paid or delay]. so the IEO doesn't protect bounty hunters. Bounty hunters must always be careful.

Yeah agree, the only advantage is that coins can be traded directly.

There are still some good ICOs, but it is true that there are some scams as well. So an IEO can offer an advantage in that they do most of the checking for us, so we can be much more confident that an IEO is not a scam. Beyond that though, once the scams are weeded out, I think that ICOs are probably better. One big problem with IEOs is that the coins for everyone are already on the exchange... which will likely lead to worse dumping as soon as the coin is tradeable.

Sorry for the late reply, TIL there is bounties too for IEO but most of them are not hosted by big exchange. I'm curious is the IEO will success or not.

So, if you are bounty hunters it's better to join bounty that have IEO and hosted by big exchange, for more safe.

IEOs are great and secure.

Protect? "Yes" at least coin that you are following already on the exchanges so you can sell it afterwards. But, does the reward worth it? That's debatable, since it's the same as other coins that it depends on demands also exchanges are big factor of how "good" the price would be once IEO is finish.

I can see IEO's being safer for investors than ICO's but if an IEO is going to get listed on top exchanges like Binance that is enough publicity for them and I don't see those startups putting up bounty offers.
The exchanges will do the promotion work for these IEO's and if the exchange is small maybe they will give bounties for promotion but I don't know how this is going to work out for bounty hunters in the future as more people and regulation come to this space.

IEO really brings safety and a lot of benefits to investors, for bounty hunters, IEO will bring them safety or not, this is something that hunters never know because the IEO of projects is always kept secret, it is not public when it can lead to a large number of hunters starting to cheat. And for that reason, participating in bounty campaigns is also very dependent on luck, almost impossible to know whether the project will have an IEO or not until the final stages but at least, the emergence of the IEO will make us know that we will not waste time and effort, the reward will certainly come

not after the IEO is completed, because the actual price is determined after being registered in an exchange and can be traded freely. because it is possible, the assets owned have a value greater than the IEO price or the price may be cheaper than the IEO price set by the developer.

The fact is that many IEOs also provide bounties so as long as there are new projects, of course we can get earnings, devs. of course understand that bounty hunters help the success of a project so that they always give a portion of at least 1% for bounty hunters.

IEO will only guarantee the bounty hunters that a project's coin/token will have an exchange so we can trade this coin once we receive this bounty rewards.
But it does not guarantee whether or not the bounty manager will pay us or will they become greedy.

I know, but once on IEO the price is "fixed" until IEO is finish.

That will happen once IEO is finish like I said earlier.

Well yes, actually no. Sometime newly developed tokens that didn't use bounty campaign is also having a great success until today. You would think bounty hunters could achieve the marketing, yet in reality no.

does it mean that the IEO actually does not guarantee the absence of fraud? and what you describe is very likely to happen, so everything remains back to the seriousness and honesty of the project maker. ICO or IEO will still not be able to escape the problem, just a matter of time.

Bounty reward from where? Are IEOs beginning to also use hunters that I am not aware of? Please don’t confuse ICO and IEO, most projects that go on IEO don’t bother using ICO to raise fund again because they already meet up with their hardcap the moment they enter an exchange, which gives no room for them to further explore an option of hunters.

How would you benefit from a coin that you don’t have access to hold because some of us that are willing to purchase it don’t even get the chance to successfully do so due to the queue that is always ready to buy it anytime IEO projects gets launched, most especially on Binance.

protect from what ? Ieo does not protect anything but they will only protect their own business from scammers and hackers . They also protect their business from the authorities in which they will get certification and approvement from the local government so that this will make thier business more legal .  

Speaking of protect , bounty hunters dont get any protection from someone else but bounty hunters should only protect them selves from those fraud and scam projects  

How can bounty hunters protect themselves from fraud if they don't their bounty campaign is a fraud or not. Only thing we can do is to enter a campaign where the campaign manager has a good trust score and research the ICO/IEO team background to see if they are legit and hope they honor their word.

There is no protection for bounty hunters, it is like the wild wild west and they treat bounty hunters like free slave workers. Especially now as most new tokens are worthless so giving away more to dilute the market is something they will refuse to do

I really don't think is a protection, to have protection coin should be sent before to an Escrow and after that Escrow to release coins to bounty hunters after they do their job.

When bitcoin price was increased rapidly than many ico came to enter the market and started bounty campaign to promote their ico. I think, everyone is agree with me that those bounty campaign period/time was golden time for bounty hunters.And when the Bear market started, more ico became unsuccessful or started scaming in the market. Also the bounty campaign weren't so effective for ico. As an alternative IEO came into the market to choose the best ico and started IEO to help the ico/project to collect sufficient fund.
After all, I hope everyone will also agree with me that IEO doesn't protect Bounty Hunters.

in my opinion, maybe a little guarantee and protect bountyhunter. because if a project uses IEO services, more investors will guarantee the sustainability of the project. so dev can pay for bountyhunter. importantly, project coins will definitely be listing in the near future. Unlike ICO, listing planning is still unclear.

IEO is just one step closer for the success of bounty hunter to be paid but for me it is just like an ICO it is also depends on the team if they will going to pay you back for the effort that participants made.

no, i think IEO prefered to protect investor not bounty hunter, as i know my friend participated in bounty campaign and this campaign launch IEO and the exchanger make rules for not running bounty campaign for the project, that's why IEO not proteting the bounty hunter but Investor

They cannot try all the rubbish they do in ICO in IEO because they were well vetted before getting registered, which I believe there is no way exchanges like Binance and Bittrex can register project that is not going to play by the rule.

We still have to be careful in participating in IEO if we don’t want this to happen because it is not all IEO that you see that are genuine from the onset, most of these IEO that we will later find in these unknown exchanges will definitely give us same issue as the way they were giving us in ICO, so my advice is that we participate in projects from reputable and reliable exchanges.

it is only for some rules of exchange, not all exchanges provide the same rules. many projects also carried out the IEO and continued to run their bounty campaigns. but it does not guarantee that the bounty will be paid, because I think the IEO or ICO will still remain the same.

of course you're right and i don't talk all exchanger have the same for IEO campaign, i just talk about few exchange and adopting this rules for their launchpad, just that.

and we can compare ICO and IEO because the both are different things even though they make crowdfound just using other method

We can't guarantee of it and we can't disclose any chances that it will turn into scam unless there is a team not could filtered every IEO project before it runs in the market. We know how those scammers work and they will find way in order to continue their scamming job even in IEO( most probably).
IEO projects are still under the observation and maybe later this year we can find what it the contribution into the crypto world.

This concern has been answered at this time. that indeed some Projecks are also still running a bounty to be able to get the appeal and also the progress of the introduction of their project to the community. this will also be an important thing when indeed introducing their names and concepts to many people. besides being successful in funding

Well since we see what ICO do in some bounty hunter, maybe this time that IEO is have good start on every project I think it will be good to us too and safe. But still paying to bounty hunters is responsibility of who made the project.

for me this is to make the protection of investors and trust as well as investors and for IEO users easier to follow because they don't need to manage onchain transactions with different wallets on different blockchain networks. Instead, users only need accounts on the place of exchange The IEO is organized and can participate in each IEO, which is taking place on the exchange

Yes, you are right everything is based on the team whether it is an IEO or ICO, we are not asking more than that if they wish to pay they will pay according to the promise made by them. When compared to ICO, IEO is much better because most of the exchanges will do some research before listing the coin.

It largely depends on the exchanges that made the listing of the new asset on the IEO. In addition, payments to bounty hunters can be made when the volume of trades of a new asset decreases (all interested investors have acquired it). In this case, the sale of rewards will cause a dump.
Thus, there are no guarantees to immediately sell the at a good price.

I think the IEO can't be sure will protect the bounty when the payment occurs because bounty payments are made by the team they, maybe cheat and cut bounty allocations,IEO is only useful for investor because the IEO is a project that has been filtered by a well-known exchanger

Bounty is a good and effective marketing strategy, bounty hunters only get paid when the project is successful or reaches a minimum target, I'm sure devs. consider providing bounty hunter allocations even though only 1% of the total coin sold.

Are you really sure that we have project that run these two same time, as in IEO and ICO, because for them to involve hunters, they must have been running ICO too which is to get investment directly from investors unlike the way exchanges gets the fund for the IEO projects before remitting to them I think.

Most IEO bounties that I have seen or which I will say we call IEO bounties are just some few projects that chose to later change their funding method to IEO and I learnt from this forum that they usually close bounty campaign once they make registration on IEO platforms. I don’t think IEO projects really needs hunter or do you think they do?

Promotion strategies using bounty campaigns are either effective or not clear that marketing is done by cutting costs lower than advertising directly on several crypto sites. if there is a project that makes both of them then it is a project that is fairly good in promotion.

for the IEO sometimes there are exchanges that prohibit bounty hunter activities during the sales process, but there are some projects that continue to carry out bounty campaigns at the beginning of their private sales.

You are wrong if you talk about binance IEO but for other smaller exchanges IEO, you may be a bit correct. Binance has none of those bad intentions you listed here and yes they are capable of protecting hunters in the sense that they will never register a project that doesn’t have integrity because those ICO that doesn’t not pay hunters after campaign lacks integrity, but since an exchange would have certified whatever project they are promoting, if such company had conducted bounty campaign before like harmony, then it is obvious that they will pay their hunters.

Look IEO is a new way of better earning money because on this kind of job we can see a big hope that we didn't have on ICO, the best part of IEO is even you will get an cheap coins or tokens you can still sell it or hold it for later. unlike ICO tokens most of them are garbage what i mean by garbage is the token have no price at all.

I don't see the IEO really as popular as you say. I only see a number of IEO projects in large exchanges that have had great success in selling, and some have also succeeded in the market because they have high trading interests such as BTT.

but for IEOs in other exchanges I have not heard of great success as done by binance exchanges. even though I think the IEO has been running a lot on other exchanges.

if in my opinion the IEO does not necessarily protect, because the IEO is only for sales and this depends on the campaign manager, whether to pay or not and the bounty hunter can only run according to the rules of the bounty program they follow.

As of now, I don't know if IEO will help totally the bounty hunters. It might help us to eliminate those ICO who are actually scams people. I do not want to inflict any harm against ICO but I want to be real. IEO helps us to have better opportunities when it comes in investing as well as bounty hunting.

You can see projects that will enter to make IEO sales in several exchanges through their official site. You can see whether the project is carrying out a bounty campaign. due to several projects the IEO also carried out a bounty campaign, such as the harmony project and also the exchange of several airdrop and giveaway events for IEO supporters that will be held in exchange.

I've actually never heard yet of an IEO that also had bounties, or can someone show me? I thought all IEO tokens were stricly only for sale on the exchange itself (though I understand the fees to the exchange are paid actually in the tokens itself).

Bounty hunters can't cause dumps anymore with an IEO, the dumpers are all the buyers themselves haha.

Well sort of but not fully protected imo

Despite a coin is listed, doesn't mean that the Bounty campaign manager won't be dodgy and give shitty excuse and don't paid the participants
But of course if they are serious about their project with the listing of IEO
It reduce the chance of bounty fraud there

Remember IEO helps the majority of icos to reach its hardcap and the dev can smile without doing any bad action to not pay the bounty hunters maybe some icos in the past have been doing it but this time looks a bit different.
I participated in some IEO bounty and after all, i got all of the payments that i deserve to received it.

I hope some projects that carry out the IEO also hold a bounty campaign. because like in a binary exchange, it is reportedly not allowed to hold bounty campaign activities during the sale of the IEO. like harmony one, which finally had to stop their bounty campaign because of the IEO running. but not all exchanges like that. I hope the IEO provides light for bounty hunters to receive proper payments.

I even thought that the IEO killed the hunter bounties, because with the IEO, investors at least had a guarantee about the exchange that would be registered by the project. whereas what we know for ICO does not have a positive value on this. So with IEO the bounty hunters no need anymore, maybe there will be future bounty but im sure it won't worthy.

maybe the IEO can be expected by many bounty participants because the IEO can be one of the expectations when participants cannot get a salary, the IEO is still expected to pay. if this is possible, I think many participants will support the IEO

can't yet make sure the IEO will protect the bounty hunter from payment, The IEO is only useful for investors, not for bounty hunters, because in terms of IEO sales is more qualified than ICO

still doesn't guarantee anything right?

whether they do an ICO, IEO or STO bounty hunters are just going to be left at their mercy. there were platforms suppose to make all these safer for hunters but even them are scammed. bounty managers were blamed but nothing else can be done unless we ask for BTC and will be escrowed by known individuals in the forum/.

even developer want create bounty campaign few exchange make a rules prohibited developer to make bounty campaign program.
that's why IEO campaign is not for protecting bounty hunter it is even more difficult for bounty hunters.

yes if you are investor participate in IEO is really helpfull investor for escrowing their fund and safety their fund from fraud project.
but for bounty hunter i don't think so, they are not attention bounty hunter

Not all IEO are successful and not all gave a ROI. Bounty hunters should not be in the question of safety cause very few IEO from high volume exchange have bounty campaign. More so, the quantity of token allotted for bounties these days are very small and insignificant to cause unrest in the project. This is not altcoin season so it could be difficult to say anything about some altcoins failure for now.

Now this time is only for IEO listed bounty and everyone joined in IEO project because they are not agree to waste valuable time with shit project. I think IEO at least making interest for bounty hunters. But many IEO project didn’t success because those are partnered with poor quality exchange.           

Yes, I believe IEO projects can help the bounty hunters to stick their interest on bounties. Though most of the big IEO projects had a tiny bounty budget like 2-7K USD worth! Maybe hey don't want to spend a big money before bounties as they get enough promotion from the host exchange! So, it is another thing to discuss! We have only a few good bounties nowadays and their budget also not good enough!

They can give assurance that they will get some value with those works that they've accomplished, bounty Hunters always find a way to accumulate and to ensure that they will not waste their time each time they will participate in any projects, little rewards is much better than a wasted time.

Yes! Good IEO projects are not interested in bounties. I did not see Celer, BTT bounties. Though huobi prime's first IEO top network had 1-week bounty with a tiny budget! After getting confirmed launched on binance launchpad, Harmony stopped their bounty! So, it is a thinkable issue for the bounty hunters!

Hopefully it is true what you say that the IEO can indeed be one of the guarantees and safeguards for bounty hunters, because at this time I was following a campaign that did the IEO on the Idax Exchange.

I think the hype of Binance is what has really been making their IEO successful more and aside that, there is no way other exchanges can do it better than them, we know binance to have always gone for the best and any project they register must also be at the best. I guess they take their time to also investigate these projects duly before presenting it to investors which other exchanges does not do.

Moreover, whatever formula that binance is using to get a via project lies with them alone, so when I think of IEO, I usually look at Binance but the hitch is, I don’t really think that IEO has any program for hunters yet since binance already do the publicity themselves.

Even if in the end they do not pay the participants, there is still a higher chance that the work was not done in vain. Because there were ICO, tokens of which never got on any exchanges. Because of this, there are a lot of coins in the wallet that are not traded anywhere.

therefore, I think many bounty hunters are now choosing to join a bounty campaign on projects that have been registered to do the IEO in a big exchange. especially for projects that work with large exchanges, I am sure that the campaigns carried out will also be crowded.

IEO indeed can provide benefits for us because it can indeed get at least a listing guarantee and also if the chosen exchange is reliable, it will certainly make many people assess the level of sales of the IEO will be successful later.

Well its only new on me this IEO, But i will shall participate on it if this have some good payment to the bounty hunters to try spread about the IEO project. And we cannot tell yet if the IEO can protect to those bounty hunters that have so many project participated and in the end it will come nothing.

IEO is like an ICO offered on trading exchanges whereby the token have the opportunity to get listed on that exchange after the IEO.
This helps to solve the problems of a token not getting traded after the ICO, it is not a project itself.

This is not sure that it will protect the bounty hunters. The IEO also seeking the KYC of bounty hunters at the lime of token claim and you claim this on the platform on which exchange the IEO was offered.

I'm not sure it will protect bounty hunters but at least give us the assurance that their token can really be traded on exchanges or has a value.

whats the connection of an ieo into a bounty hunter ? When bounty huter are known to hunt for an ico campaign while so far i dont see any ieo campaigns.   You can rather say that an ieo can protect ico investors from possible scams because an ieo are known to be more legit than an ico

in fact the IEO sales carried out by the project in exchange also did not guarantee success. because in reality there are some projects that do not reach the target for development and they also return money from investors. I think that gives us knowledge if not all IEOs will succeed. all remain the same as ICO.

no i think if some project making an IEO they don't need make bounty campaign for attract investors because investor from the exchanger where they launched is enough, IMO.

but some cryptocurrency project is needed a community for make their ecosystem still alive that's why they are needed bounty hunter to be a part of their ecosystem

Very simple and straight answer you have given here mate, I don’t know why people still believe there is any correlation between hunters and IEO which has been spelt out by these exchanges already by making us know that they have the facility to manage the awareness of these projects and create traffic for it within a short period of time.

Look at harmony project that has been using hunters for a while now,   the moment they joined IEO was when they met their hardcap within a very short time and their value even increased by 800%. Therefore, I still do not know where hunters can come in in IEO for them to get campaigns.

That ensures everyone can buy and sell safely and we don't have to worry much about participating in the IEO campaign but in fact very few IEO projects have bounty because that's not necessary in their project so don't expect too much in this moment. Personally, I still want to find the best projects but until now then all the projects that I am working on have not had good results in the past time.

I don't think that the protection is always guaranteed in every campaign we join. But I haven't experienced anything bad with IEOs that is why I prefer them than ICOs. Though I'm not going to deny the efforts of some ICO managers because I also joined really good ICOs where I was able to profit really well.

Not all IEOs have a bounty program, and bounty hunter payments depend on the success or failure of the project, now the IEO has become a primadonna especially the binance IEO ,harmony.one bounty is one of the successful IEO bounties, and  this day bounty hunter harmony hasn't got clarity next payment and KYC steps

I do not see any positive connection between IEOs and bounty hunters. As a matter of fact, IEOs in top exchanges in Binance, Huobi etc can be a quality alternative to Bounty hunting which is not so pleasant for bounty hunters

I don't see any way that IEO protect bounty hunters.  Most IEO price are lower than the private sale price. Most atimes token allocation is being calculated with the presale price.  So when IEO is being announced price drops drastically so does the allocation drops

Yes, the IEO was born to change the face of the crypto market. Because 2018 has a lot of fraudulent and unsuccessful projects. therefore, bounty hunters are always unpaid and treated very badly.
But when projects are listed on exchange, I think they will soon pay tokens for bounty hunters and anyway they still have money.

The question I will then like to throw to you is this, how would bounty hunters get the token they will exchange, because to the best of my knowledge now, IEO does not make use of hunters, talk less of paying them. He only crowd funding means that makes use of hunters now is still ICO.

Most of the new projects that go on IEO make use of exchanges directly for their promotion, and all the allocation that ICO usually have for hunters goes straight to exchanges purse. SO how have they protected hunters when they have only taken job away from hunter?

IEO offers more protection against fraud for investors rather than bounty hunters. As a matter of fact, IEOs have no business with bounty hunters that is why over 90 percent of IEO projects don't have a pre bounty program

yes that's why in one in another perspective this is very helpful and beneficial to investors and I also like it
but on the other hand this is detrimental to the bounty hunter, because most ieo don't hold bounty campaigns
