Good Day Everyone,

Well, I know a lot of bounty hunters are frustrated and worn out mostly because most of the projects which they'd spent their precious time promoting ended up being scam projects. But hey, its too late to give up at this time, trust me.

So here are the little tips which I personally apply before participating in any bounty campaign, though, of course, it takes time, I feel its worth it.

1. THE TEAM BEHIND THE PROJECT
2. THE SOFT CAP AND HARD CAP (HOW REASONABLE IS IT?)
3. HAVE THEY RAISED ANY FUNDS BEFORE COMING PUBLIC?
4. ARE THEY PLANNING AN ICO, STO, OR IEO? IF IEO, THEN ON WHAT EXCHANGE?
5. WHO IS THE BOUNTY MANAGER? WHAT IS HIS TRUST LEVEL ON BITCOINTALK? WHAT IS THE SUCCESS RATE OF THE CAMPAIGNS HE HAD MANAGED? AND SO ON.

FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OPINIONS BELOW, I MIGHT JUST LEARN A THING OR TWO

We are discussing here about good bounty, a good bounty comes with a good/great team but it's not enough a good use of the project and it should have a use and application in real life, a good bounty also give a fair reward to its hunters and they didn't deceive them.

Lastly they are transparent and to everything. Today, we can rarely see a bounty like this most of them are failed project or didn't give rewards to their participants.

I judge a project in terms of the concept being stretched, a great team and often active in blockchain events. Maybe if everything is perfect, I think we are worthy of supporting promoting the project. But all people have different principles when choosing :P

maybe you should add white paper as one part to identify a solid and trusted bounty. a good project always describes the projects they work on white paper. by understanding the white paper we can predict whether the project they are working on will be successful, trusted and worthy for participating in their bounty.

No the best way to just the project by its whitepaper, because part of whitepapers are written by outsource workers, that doesn't even in the project team.

Whitepaper author can even be hired from Services (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=52.0) section of the forum. 100-1500$ and you have a perfect whitepaper  ;D

This is important but not so important IMO, bounty managers are just doing their job based on the requirement of the project, so the order comes from the team behind the project.

I usually do more research on the project itself, of course who is the team behind as it's more important than anything else since they are the ones who will manage the funds to realize what is written in the white paper, the most important is the implementation side which we should look at if the team is capable enough to deliver what is promise.

This is odd to see the post with block letters. I think it's better to post normal.

Your reason are enough but you know it's still not possible to get a good one since most of the projects are scam.

Identifying good and Trusted Bounty campaigns is a must do before you join in any campaign! In the very beginning bounties has no guarantee to be successful, Since it was only rely on the ICO results. But with exception from bounties that already Live and listed on CMC or at any exchange, since it has a guarantee already. For choosing promising bounties be sure that the transparency of team is present, including the platforms purposes including product or services and clear detailed whitepaper.

I think one important point is to check if the project will continue if it raises low funds or if soft cap not reached as some projects are abandoned if soft cap does not reach which result in non payment to bounty hunters. I have experienced this in the past and it really hurts to not receive anything after months of work so for me soft cap is very important thing to know now.

i have applied all these techniques but it doesn't mean that 90% of all these New projects awares dumping in the market. most believed that it is the fault of bounty hunters.  the techniques is a good concept but i will not guarantee you quality and good bounties.

You should identify the telegram group because if that was a good project that so many people are paying attention to it and there will be a lot of discussions to talk about the development. Scam projects are using the fake or bot. this can become another important point.

Honesty is still the best policy I just come out from some bounties with dishonest developers, they are not giving bounty hunters their shares of the bounty, they locked it without good explanation and worse of all they change their rules about distribution, so it's important that people behind the project are honest.

You have summarized most of them.
6. Look how the project is going to deliver the profit to the token holders. Are they burning on a fixed interval or are providing dividends.
7. Look at the utility of token. At what places and sectors would it be used.

even though there is a white paper making service in this forum you cannot judge all projects doing the same thing.
if you are pure a bounty and follow the campaign but don't read and understand the project from white paper. why follow the campaign but don't know the product you're promoting.

Your opinion about good bounties is very good.
Maybe I can add one points, that is good bounties will has a lot of participants.

Are you saying good bounties always have lots of participants? You are wrong friend ,for example gowithme bounty has the lowest bbounty participants that the team are forced to cut the allocation into half and guess what ? It became successful and still trading till date with good volume on exchanges.

The bounty manager does not affect the success of the ICO, many managers who have
succeeded in running the bounty end up with an ICO failure that they hold or run it.

You missed the point there about reading the whitepaper. Even if it is written by a third party, it does now mean you do not have to rely on it.

The concept is to know what the project is really all about. What are the problems the project is really trying to solve and how are they going to achieve it? All those guides listed in the OP is pretty much useless if the idea behind the project itself is crap.

To choose a bounty first of all you have to sure about the project authenticity behind the bounty. Then calculate the reward for the each individual task by projecting the future stakes what could be. If you are happy with the projected reward that you will get after the bounty then work for that bounty.

Bounty manager however good on how he runs the campaign cannot guaranty payment of bounty hunters, it's still on the dev signal if they want to pay a bounty hunter, even the campaign become popular and behind these projects are scammers, bounty hunters will suffer, so the one thing that you need to look are the reputation of the people running the crowdfunding, without it things will go wrong.

My opinion is that all the listed 5 ways to know good bounty may be wrong because some project will come up with lies that they have already reached soft cap and the actual truth is that they have never raised a dime. Therefore some projects may look real at start but they may end up to be a scam.

Mistakes is what give birth to success they say so its better to look for projects with pro teams that have past experience in the field so that they can easily go through any challenges

I would like to first ask, is the topic related to bounty still alive? The whole year was lull, but now the ICO market seems to come to life and people are starting to return to work again ... Finding a project that will accurately assemble softcap and distribute tokens profitably seems to me very problematic, the market is too unpredictable, let's hope for growth like in 2017...

the most important thing is actually part of the team and they also already have a large number of investors, for ieo currently it seems that only a few launchpad can still be trusted because some of the launchpad I saw failed even some IEO projects have been scam because of the unknown launchpad like dexon and also have to be vigilant with the project that brings the IEO but holds on their own platform

You have noted the tips rightly; but all in all you need to do your own research and pick the right spots
Don’t always believe ieo results from certain exchanges;

Be smart and work smartly

I think it is worth assessing the bounty manager, if he has a red trust. View topics where he spent discussions on the forum. It is also a must to study the white book and decide whether there is a chance for the project that it will pay off and bring dividends. The next step is to take a look at the roadmap and visit the developer pages on social networks to find out more about the project. Do not forget to ask about kyc, as this may also be a surprise in the future.

I am glad that my signature bounty campaign finally hit the soft cap. It is pretty impossible in the bear market, but it only confirms that solid crypto blockchain projects are successful no matter the market situation  8).

Collaborative partners are also important to analyze, the bigger and many partners of the project cooperation, the better to be followed. I usually only see the team, manager, allocation and their partners, that is enough to determine whether or not the project is good. Oh yes, please choose a project that has partners with high popularity.

Easy with the caps lock, dude.  But as far as the above statement, I would say that sometimes bounty managers are at the mercy of the project devs and whether the latter will pay the bounty hunters.  If the funds are in escrow, that's fine, but I'm not sure that's the case with a lot of bounties.  I don't follow them too closely, though, so I could be wrong.

If people keep getting screwed with these things, wouldn't you think it's time to not participate in bounties?  You do all of this work up front and hope everyone on the dev and BM level keep their word, which apparently doesn't happen sometimes.

I've been aware of ICOs and their bounties since the beginning of them (I think).  I've chosen not to get involved, despite the fact that I could probably have earned a lot of money.  The reason for that is I have no faith in these projects, which are either complete shit or outright scams.  There's no way in hell I'm going to advertise for them.  And ultimately I have little sympathy for those who choose to do so.  Most bounty hunters are just spammers, and they're the ones polluting the forum (and social media, too).  Move on, don't support these scams.

There are several things to take into consideration, as a hunter, your main concern should be about the pay and as a result, you need to choose wisely, look at the team behind the project, check their social handles,know the extent of the sale possibly if they met softcap, all things being equal, check the reward for bounty!

Thanks for this guide but some of these points don't always apply to every project as I have seen projects have a very high hardcap and achieved this with ease and some with low caps as long as 5million have failed miserably.
Having a reputable bounty manager is not an endorsement to say everyone this is a good,safe,promising project to invest in,NO IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THIS. it's expected that you do your due diligence as the person risking their money time is you and nobody will be held responsible if project fails.

The fund raised before coming onboard to raise fund from retail investors, is not a good means of accessing any project.
I have seen a lot of projects that claimed they raised huge amount of fund, yet they lied and ended up as scam. Although, when you ask so many of them, they will not be able to provide any evidence to substantiate their claims.

I agree.The funds raised by them before launching another project is not a solid proof that they are legit. For me, i usually study the team behind the project, and most especially the manager who is managing the project. I have known quite names of managers who have made the projects very successful knowing they are also very responsible in the outcome of their projects.

Latey, i often participate those bounties that are run by high level rank in this forum, but as what i have experienced from those projects, it was not that popular in the end, and some of it, becomes dead, so for now, the higher the level does not matter for me, what really concerns me is that if the project is planning for IEO or doing an IEO, that means if they have it, i can assure that the project might be listed to that exchanger.

When i find or identify good and solid bounties i always look at their website, wihitepaper, roadmap and their social medias if there is a lot followers for their bounties, i always want to know how far this project will go in order to conclude that this project is good.

Picking a good bounty campaign is really a difficult task for bounty hunters, and it is much difficult for newbies. There are some factors that should be considered before going to join any bounty campaign.
Project team should be strong and reputed. Its collected amount suggests how much the project is trusted by people. Its technology and goals. How much practical the project is.

I agree with most of the OPs list, but I would say the most important consideration is always whether this coin fills a gap in the market. Is there really a need for this project, or is it just jumping on the crypto bandwagon? If there is a need for the solution this coin is offering, then are there other coins out there that fill the same space and would be direct competitors?

Thanks this a wonderful piece.  I participate in bounties most times if the team are actively working to develop their platform qnd not just concerned with the sales of their token. A working product project tends to always come out top notch. I will advice anyone participating in bounty to look out for such features

For me to identify a solid bounty is to look if the project is solving some problems regarding block chain technology like scalability etc. Also the team must be professional and experienced, moreover the bounty manager handling the bounty must be reputable and trusted, lastly the project must be having an IEO on binance because that proves the project is serious and trustworthy.

I agree that a solid team is one indication of a good project and a valuable bounty to work on. A good team will give success to the project and also investors will be happy if the project starts making money

The technology used by new projects can also be an indicator as a good investment. For me, to follow a good bounty, I think we are following a bounty manager who has a reputation and this forum provides information about which bounty manager is good

To find a solid bounty we must know the project from starting the team, concept, meeting, and promoting it in the future, but for the sale of the IEO they will definitely plan so that it must be the IEO against ICO,

and choosing a trusted BM is the main thing like Hhampuz

I think this is the information that most bounty hunters will find out.
But the problem is that it is difficult for us to verify the information provided by the project

If I am going to compare it now, if the bounties is under by IEO, or STO I could say it has a high chance to consider as one of the potential utility token in the market. But of course, making your own way of researching is much more better and good. Then, the whitepaper must be realistic and their team must supposed to be transparent to their community.

The problems with new project are mainly on the teams ,they mostly don't have any past experience with blockchain technology and they only released their projects based on experimental purposes ,I believe that if teams are pro the project will easily reach milestones

I have not found a research method about bounty that is good and legit because I always fail in choosing a bounty campaign even I feel cheated because of it, I think it needs a variety of things for that.

never expect much about the campaign. we are following a campaign just to get extra money, for us to save in a larger investment. I participated in the campaign but I only enjoyed my daily life as a filler of my free time.

I use only one selection criterion, if the project collects a soft cap, then I take part in the bounty company. So I save a lot of time. :)

be careful sometimes we see even the achievement of softcap is also part of team manipulation to attract investors. it can end scam, try to see from the team's response and the community in the group. if there is a good response, you can join the campaign.

There are some projects that say that they will conduct IEO on certain dates, but then they change dates. it makes me doubt in the project

Recently I have done 3 things

Figure out how realistic their project is by following your no 1-5
Figure as well the exchange for ieo, finding out previous success rate

Then judge what I will be gaining from participating in the project
Judge the project, yourself and the bounty manager

Then learn from your judgements in subsequent projects

Bounty is currently very difficult to guess. Sometimes everything we have examined before deciding to participate, it turns out the results are empty and failed. Don't forget to check the members of the telegram, between many members or few. It also has the effect of knowing earlier.

Have you seen a lot of potential bounties didn't reach the maximum participants in the past? They know that when there was a publication about such bounty but it can be used to determine how good that bounty is. Remember some scam icos were getting so many demand for its campaign.

Its not easy task really till project success. Most of projects become scam nowadays. However, at least we need to care about team and a concept. Although I am not fan of bounty or did not bothered to join but a potential team and a potential concept could turn a successful project if team have good intention. Also a potential whitepaper important for a successful project. So all of these could be consider during choose a bounty.

Information is not available for average traders but it is available as an inside info. Successful traders should understand the importance of analyze and that's why they are 'successful'.

i think who is the bounty manager don't affect the project are ended successfully, as i know many project are hired good bounty manager but still ended with scam, for example : Athero project, you can search this shit project on this forum

It is a good check list to choose legit and good bounty to participate and many senior members even not aware of how to choose the bounty campaign but the manager might have a good impact as well if they are very trustworthy because reputed manager will not put their reputation into risk.

There are somethings to look out for from a good bounty,  you can find a good bounty project but with poor reward, most time you need to check the duration of the bounty, also check the allocation, if allocation is huge then reward will be high but sometimes, the crowd on the bounty could also reduce reward.

Well, I totally agree with you with your given qualities of an ideal ICO. But I have to remind you that not all legit campaigns really became successful even the good projects experienced lack of finds because there is no support from the investors. It is not a scam project but not well funded project. Some legit projects continue to launch even they don't reach softcap because they really want to push thru with the project but some are not.

Good and solid project generally have good and solid bounties. A well thought project always has a systematic way of presenting everything, even bounties. The manager of these projects are always better and it would reflect through the user experience from the first day.

Forget, there aren't good bounties. Sometimes you can find bounties making payment in bitcoin, but it is rare. What is more some IEOs launch bounties, but budget is so small

Bounty will always depend on the success of the team ICO and their sales.
Before joining any bounty you should study and investigate the TEAM and their PROJECT.
Also choose a project which is active on attending seminars.

In my opinion, the idea of the project is important, at some point is popular and good profit with blockchains project, in another moment popular exchange and their tokens, sometimes unique ideas give a good profit.

The bounty allocation is usually depends on the team,sometimes they don't keep promises. The more bounty hunters join the campaign the less rewards will be available. For finding the good campaign, bounty hunters need to make a research.

thank you very much for explaining but anyway if the topic is about really a good project that a usefull project which may be real, it is ok you are right. but if it is about earning money, you can not be sure for seeking such details. it is just about atraction. if people thinks they earn some and buy then it works. thats all.

I have participated in some campaigns where bounty manager locked quantity of participants of the signature bounty. Usually it can be the 100 participants. It's a nice example where manager is care about hunter's rewards.

You have really made your point so clear, and you see that number 1, 3 and 5, to me is the most important, if any investor can strictly judge the project based on those 3  most vital points amongst the point you listed, I believe that he will be able to have at least 70 percent record of successful projects.

I think another thing that is missing out of your point which needs to really be taken serious too is for us to really take cognizant of the product, and look into its in-depth to ascertain if the product is a quality one, and if it will really be able to solve problems of millions of people in the area the developers thinks it will be useful for, because without people to accept and use the product, there is no way their coin can gain value for any investor to make profit.

These are quite good points for determining the prospects of the project. I would add "luck though it is not an objective indicator, but without luck in the crypto is very difficult )

I agree with the points you say in this thread, it is true we can ensure that the gift manager who handle this project is a very familiar gift manager such as Wapinter, BtcLtcDigger / Crypto and other BM services.
the progress of the project must have clear objectives and get sufficient funds for project development.

Honestly, this is a complete random process, you can study the company from A to Z and you will think that this company is top-notch and there will be no problems with it, but in the end this same company will start to put forward various new conditions for paying bounty tokens or will not pay nothing, it has already been so many times and will be unfortunately...

I agree with your point, bounty hunting in general is not profitable anymore, so even if you are promoting a good project that does not guarantee you'll enjoy your reward when the ICO is over. Even at this time where IEO is more popular, there's only few bounties that are successful.

most bounties are very deceptive. You have listed a good qualities to note on good bounties. But many projects will still deceive the users by claiming that they have reached soft cap etc. I have see a bounty with fake teams, but it's hard to know this projects.

Exactly, some bounties will also decide to lock tokens for up to six months or more, during this period the whole team will disappear into thin air, and hunters will be left with another tons of shit tokens in their respective wallets.
Good luck is an important factor when participating some bounties these days.

i am not sure our luck will give us good result in bounty campaign.deep research and analizing will give us more outlook about campaign.as experienced bounty hunter i am sure we have capabilities to identify which is good our bad campaign.and if bounty token locked for whole periode , it be team decision to protect their investors.

The best bounty campaign offers tokens or coins that are listed on reputable exchanges and you can easily calculate your possible reward. Campaigns that promise millions of dollars in tokens are mostly fake and the real value is totally different.

I think the most important thing to define solid and good bounties is first know the history of the campaign and most espcially the profile of bounty manager. I think the campaign manager is the most important thing that we need to consider in choosing campaign because the heart and power of the campaign and all of policy and decision is coming to him

Guys, what should we do now when it's banned to post giveaways in bitcointalk? Where can I find more or less legit stuff?

not all projects are good if using a well-known and good bounty manager, because the bounty manager sometimes also needs money so they are paid dearly by any project and a lot of what happened is finally scam. we have chosen the project well and the rest is good luck

All Bounty Hunter hopes like that, have stage and result. If a Project Transparant and commits, they become to winner.

Identifying good and solid bounties can sometimes be frustrating and quite difficult but there are some features one can use to identify a solid project. For instance, the team, development and their roadmap

I also always consider those five reasons at least.
Probably, you can add some ways to identify that the bounties are legit or not.
For bounty on IEO, I think we must consider what exchange it is, whether it is trusted or not, better for higher exchange level with promising trading volume.
Then, I will also consider the concept of the project promoted by the bounty, whether it is promising for long term holding or not (I never think of short term holding from bounty), with the real product to be used.
High allocation for signature especially will be very welcomed, and of course, limited participants will be very promising.
Moreover when we get the payment with the top coin such as BTC and ETH. It will be so legit for weekly payment

This is true. No 5 is highly underrated though. I do specific bounties and they come highly recommended based on project and team quality and bounty manager. I know some bounty managers that don't take shits projects and I know some that take all including scam bounties

Your points are very clear and perfect. Therefore we need to check their community activity because many projects have huge telegram members with zero activity, so it's matters.

I agree with the tips you gave, It's just that at the moment it's very difficult to get income from bounty even though all the tips you provide meet the criteria of bounty that I join, because after bounty is finished and the coin from bounty has been distributed to bounty hunter and the next is :
1. the coin is never listed in exchange
2. when the coin is listed in exchange, but the volume of the coin is very small and the price drops very far
3. the team is rarely active and never provides information about the progress of the project, so it is difficult to conclude that the project is scam or still running.

There are many bounties that are only at first glance. But when times goes on, we can expect that they will become successful. Many bounties are deceiving their allocated budget in bounty. As of now, I just join bounties that I know it will become successful because I read whitepapers and other info profoundly. I hope my campaign will become successful soon.

In my opinion, I will select the #5 item of the OP as the most important factor for me when selecting bounties. Once you know that bounty manager is a reputable one, then, all the other factors will automatically follow. Because such manager will only select good projects and make sure that his participants will get paid after the agreed period of bounty programs. You will find bounty managers that don't care about their participants. As long as they are getting paid, they will push thru their campaign even if they know that the project is a scam one.

Learn more about the project partners. Verify exactly which organizations are supported by the project, I think ieo is still a top priority

All points valid, and would like to add that don't hold to these tokens longer, as most of these bounty projects don't survive much.

That is actually a good pointers to remember. Not all bounties are actually worth our time. In fact most them are just worthless in the end. Its hard to choose the right bounty and it takes time because you have to make your own research about it. Reading their whitepaper and roadmap might also help you to decide whether to join or not. Check also if they have already a working product or not.

Most of the basics of identifying a good and solid bounty had already been stated and in my opinion, I would love to add the whitepaper. It is in the whitepaper that you get some fact about the project, how far they have gone, there target as a project, roadmap and lots more.

I dont agree with your points but even after i have participated in several signature campaigns, i have not gotten any payment which can be considered as successful.  I sometimes wonder why I even continue to do so.

because you enjoy and are comfortable in this forum. You are not alone if you feel like that, I also enjoy this forum as a means for me to find information from the crypto. do not use bounty as a tool to make money, because what you receive will not be enough. if someone pays a lot maybe it is a bonus.

Country of origin and team - who are these guys?
Raised funds and time limits. You don't want to spend a year here, right?
Bounty manager or team. Are they professionals? Are they doing their job properly?

even when we have analyzed it well, it also does not give the bounty a good end. sometimes there are parts that actually make us disappointed at the end. such as cutting allocations, and rules changes. it makes the bounty hunter like cheated.

Yup but that could only apply for those IEO offering but there are still some ICO's that doesn't involve IEO and they are creating their products efficiently though many of them just turned out being a scam we can't say that they are all a scam. To identify a good project better to contact their partners and try to verify or confirm the partnership of the said ICO. If they did not confirm for sure it is just another scam project.
Bounties have many aspects but if you finding here in bitcointalk make sure that the campaign manager is very trusted so that you have the assurance that the work that you've done will be paid on time.

Always look out the solid promise of the Bounty thread creator on the Bitcointalk site. Also, you have to follow the website and the project authenticity. Finally, check the payment duration of their commitment in the thread.

Yeah, you really have to read the whitepaper. You have to understand what kind of project you are promoting. Anyway, bounty managers matters for me. I always background check the managers that handle that project.

It is necessary to adhere to all of the above points, but even a very detailed analysis will not give you 100% guarantee against fraud, bounty is casino.

I agree with your list here. Especially the team behind the project, the funds they have been raised (if any) and especially the bounty manager and his reliability is very important. On the other hand it’s better if the payments in Btc or Eth. Lately it’s difficult to find to get paid well enough but at least there are still some decent bounty campaigns.

At the moment, if you go to the bounty only to those bounty managers who have long been tested in this market , and then do not expect a lot of money.

BTW, now, I am into this bounty https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156163

P.S. It is not a paid ad, just sharing my experience.

This use to be the major way of determining the good project in the past because the white paper reveal the depth of the project. But now, many dev have mastered the act of writing whitepaper with great content. In fact many of the scam project I have seen in the past such BNOW have little or no plagiarized content. Therefore, white paper is no more valid as the medium of knowing a good project and this is even different from bounty because you can have a solid project that run bounty campaign that end up in shit. Some project such as Globitex comes to mind.

From my experience, there are no permanent properties you can use to measure or determine a good bounty project. You need to keep on changing your priority from time to time. This is because the success of a bounty is partly rely on so many things such as the success rate of the token sales, team factors, bounty manager factors. To me I followed some bounty manager based on the success of their past campaign. And if I see that the BM is.no more doing well, I will move on to another bounty manager. From my past here, yahoo still remain the best bounty manager I have worked with but he doesn't manage many bounty.

The bounty hunter should spend a lot of time on project research and assess the level should join it. Because that will help you not have to waste time on projects with bounty failure

Currently, it is not recommended to participate in bounty companies with excessive rewards, as well as with an unformed product and an overly saturated list of questionable ideas and services.

You have raise all important points but all these without having a great product means that interest by investors to hold the coin will be low. Secondly, the Tokenomics matter too. If the project gives out too many bonuses to ico buyers, team and ico which increases the circulation supply outrageously, then it's a bad bounty

The main characteristic that the person has to observe and the team behind the project. I always look for photos of the team, working or going to events. Another point to observe and the site, several fraudulent projects get ready bases on the internet and only change the name of the project.

The tips you give should be done before choosing a good bounty. Not only that, more research needs to be done on the benefits of the project and the real team which certainly requires a lot of time before participating. Teams that actively talk on social media and communities are usually more trusted.

additionally from me a good project that has a clear use with blockchain technology if not, in my opinion this project failed like a project that sells something that has nothing to do with blockchain technology I've often seen projects like this and finally they failed

Exactly your telling prankly, so meaning participating in ICO's bounty campaign is a gamble, participants give them effort and time to promote the project without assurance they can receive the rewards. Some of the project get success but the sad is not pay to their participant or waiting for a month upto a year before get the rewards.

A good bounty requires several points: I will always consider these:
1. Bounty manager
2. What project
3. Website
4. Token sale progress
5. Softcap or not
6. High token allocation and percentage
7. Better to join limited participants
8. Payment on BTC or ETH is possible
9. No more than 3 months long bounty program lasting

it's easy to figure out if the solid bounty you are collecting just check carefully if it is complete with requirments to run a project and it is better to contact the admin directly to ask if you have not understood.

For me, a good bounty tells all about theie project and their team. They are all transparent on what is happening to their project. Also, their project should be a good project which csn have a good income to all of the members. They also should have press which are known and have been featured.

This section has similar to this topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163587.msg51769499#msg51769499, meaning its been tackled here several times. So the things I could say that join in bounty if its is under by IEO program then then its live at least with this you'll see if it the progress is good or not.

For me, i think that to identify a good and  a solid bounty campaign is that the campaign should be active in all aspect, like active on their social media campaigns such as on facebook, twitter, instagram and also in telegram. In that way, crypto enthusiast would be having good vibes that the project they join with is really an active project and always updating.

We cannot determine which project is good or not, but of course we must be very clever in analyzing and reading the project, but if we can learn the product carefully and learn the whitepaper and how the team works, of course we know that the project have good future.

The most important factor here is to do absolutely beautiful and thorough research. In today's market conditions, before participating in such campaigns, we must conduct research as if they will definitely be the investors of that project and according to the results of these researches, we should participate in those campaigns. On the other hand, I think that some of the sample questions you have mentioned are ideal for gathering general information about the project. Therefore, we should find answers to all these questions and participate in these campaigns if we find projects that provide these answers. Incorrect campaign choices can be harmful to us and to someone else who may be affected by our shares.

It is very difficult to determine a decent bounty company, a lot of scams but first it will be enough to fully examine the project and its team.

While I agree that those that want to participate in bounties should go through the trouble of performing the same due diligence as investors, since they are investing their time instead of money, the problem is that all of that effort is wasted most of the time, just look at the market, people are expecting an altcoin season that does not come and I am not sure that it will appear, and if established altcoins have been losing ground against bitcoin what kind of hope could have a new project that is facing a completely different environment than the one we saw in 2017? Not very high I suppose, so most bounty hunters are wasting their time and should look for something else to do.

I no longer believe in any promises of random crypto projects. All of these evaluation criteria, such as white paper or a "professional" team, do not guarantee bounty payment .  For me, there is only one indicator of good bounty campaign - payments in Bitcoin or Ethereum through a trusted escrow . Everything else is a crappy campaings .

Day after day, scammers become smarter, everything can be faked. I think, it will be even easier if you directly check the list of their teams, because now there are so many people who use fake photos and made as team photos by scammers. I think we can all do it with some instructions from Google, it's just that we are so lazy.

Last bounties I have noticed a sign of a good project - quick counting of the stakes. For example, auditchain bounty manager is counting stakes very fast. I believe its a good sign of solid bounty campaign.

Another tip into finding a good bounty is knowing the participants. If you see that there's a member that is quite good on this area joining the bounty, you might as well follow the path. Sure we can trust ourselves by identifying which bounty is the right one, but we can also get another set of eyes to look upon it. Another member that is more professional on this matter has a low possibility to join in a scam. That is why we can at least be more sure on what we're about to join.

Although, the downside of this method is that we can't fully trust other people because they could make mistakes just like we do. Even though it is indisputable that a professional member would have already known those 5 tips that OP has mentioned, but they might forget one thing or two and end up being in the wrong direction. After all, we're all only human.

Identifying good and solid bounties takes time and effort to find. It is the key to bounty hunting and without this, you will keep promoting scam and unplanned projects which yields nothing and its a total waste of precious time and resources. Researching deep into the project, the core team behind the project, how they manage their social media sites, the investor behind the project are important areas to check to identify a good and solid bounty.

it is actually based on some of the criteria you stated but not all, a good team might have the worst project and the project might end up being a not so good project. But if you are talking about trust and rewards it is most times based on the team behind the bounty management. I'm sure we all know here who pays best and worst among the bounty managers.

You must have at least 1 or 2 experience of participation of successful bounty campaign, so you will know it.
The first thing you will need to make sure is, the project is not a scam project.
Your time and efforts won't gone in vain if you participating a real and not fraud IEO/ICO project bounty campaign.

I think a good project is how well it is running, i mean it depends on the capability of the project, on how it is being run, is the staffs, organizers, and managers are approacheable and simply is the project is updated and active. All of that are important so that the project would become more realistic to be successful.

the bounty that your looking for is already available on the bounties section of this forum even before , so why not rush to join them ? you must hurry at all time because those kind of bounties can be easily filled out since many bounty hunters are also looking for those kind of bounties as they are sure ball  than compare to the bounties that pays unlisted coins  .  however this does not mean that those bounties are solid or are already good   . its still useless if they pay hundreds and thousands of tokens that are listed but thier value is only penny  .

All the points that you stated is right. I want to ad more poin, I hope it can help. Other important things are about the project it self and whether there is legendary member that join the signature campaign of the bounty or not. If the project will make an important contribution to the cryptocurrency world then the project will most likely be a success. Legendary members are people who have experience so follow their decision is a good thing. The deeper analysis are about market condition, statistical data about the websites and technical data about cryptocurrency they use, websites and products. Usually famous bounty manager has done the analysis so that he can guarantee the bounty participants to get their reward.

are you now joining a bounty campaign like you say? I've even seen if the project you are promoting now has a scam. did you find out?
try reading this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5132555.0

it depends on the project that pays you. after all if the payment is small I think you can count it before joining, and if you decide to join it means you agree with a small payment. if you want a bounty payment, definitely try some bounties with BTC payments.

Solid bounties always have good teams and not anonymous teams ,good bounties have better roadmap details and good whitepaper, its your duty as a bounty hunter to do research on the projects before promoting

Bounties cannot be predicted, but you can assure either it is good or it`s just a waste of time to participate, by visiting into their website or any social medias that they have, and see if they have an update to the project that they have. And one thing, see also if they are already listed in some exchanges. Because there are some bounties that the project that they are advertising is already at the exchanges.

all we do as bounty hunters is speculation, there is no certainty for this. we just wait for our luck. even on projects that we value are very perfect, sometimes we only get very little reward. I have a view if all bounties are the same, both have the possibility of a scam.

All said very correctly, if the project team hides their identities, you should not even get acquainted with this project, all team members must be open and communicate.

in my opinion, i think i agree with these tread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163587.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5163587.0) dont forget to check partnership and media press. Hope all of you got blessing

I just want to add a little bit of knowledge regarding this. Guys, if you see that the hardcap is small, the chance of getting bounty is little. So if the hardcap is only like 10m dollars, it's easy to reach but as a bounty  hunter you can get small amount out of that. Imagine if 60% of their coin was for ICO and that's worth 10m dollars. Imagine the 1% for bounty? 

I think it always come along with your experience otherwise you cannot judge anything very quickly so that if you spend lots of time then only you can understand the current scenario and make the changes in your decision.

On the issue of selection of bounty campaign to participate in, I think the best way to choose is by looking into the experience and expertise of the bounty manager. A lot of them will not manage a bounty campaign that will disrepute them.
I guess this is better when one doesn't know how to go about all the other options as listed.

These days bounty successes can be unpredictable. Although there are some project that has good innovative technology, sometimes, I join bounties because of the problem they intend to solve and not just the fund allocation. I am careful about how a bounty was announced and the integrity of the BM is important as much as the background of the project team.

Considering how to find and locate a good and solid bounty, it all depends on the individual involved and what he or she considers or think about research. Most significantly, research is ideal in avoiding promoting scam project. Researching deep into the project, the project manager or founder, the team behind the project, their investors behind it, their roadmap, does their whitepaper makes sense and how their support services are, are the ways to identify good and solid bounties.

You have compiled every bounty hunters must know before joining a campaign I consider this one complete criterion, but honestly, it's hard to find a bounty campaign that has all these, it's much better to join a campaign from a coin that is already in the market and just doing another round of promotion.

Then them company will be excecuting by bountier and community to shared them scam to other people who have connected to ICO, those will have FUD every exchange and so be get a loss by investor who invested alot of money. GOD will be punishing them

Some bounty projects do not want to pay bounty hunters because the price of their token has fallen significantly and they are afraid that the price will fall even more. They only feed the bounty hunters promises.

These are some good points. Their team needs to be looked into for seeing the person involved, their manager and how good of a reputation he has in the market with previous projects, aims and objectives and how realistic they are and the caps. The white papers become really important in this regard and need to be assessed to shreds. Realistic goals are also important as projects that promise unrealistic goals often end up being scams.

yes you are right, we find a lot of fraud with bounty.
I prefer signature campaigns with bitcoin or eth payments even though the rules are more difficult but at least it provides real payments.

I think your suggestion is very good, but this suggestion has been known to many people and I think people have implemented this. for me no one can know the level of potential in a bounty project, but at least we choose something better by referring to some of these things.

Thank you for the above things, but all are for reference only. Even all of the above can be fake.
And I added a few ways to choose bounty to minimize the rate of scam bounty.
Check traffic to their site. See if it's really HOT.
Check out their telegram channel, if it's really a good project their telegram channel will have a lot of people talking.

not all of them, you should see what already happened with some IEOs that run on the small exchange site like exmarket. There was a lot of problems with its bounty and it's not yet even solved.
There was no a lot of promising IEO created a lot of advertisement.

Yess Exchange is the other reason why some project got destroyed. They don't even think longer but choose faster to list on a bad exchange.
That's how they destroy the price of their tokens.

Excuse me, do you not thinking on what their project plan to do with their token?? Is it worth to be developed?? Will it be very useful for now??

What is trending now in bounties? the answer was IEO, right?
Therefore, go ride with flow of trend now, but if the IEO is under by Kucoin,
Binance or Bittrex is an advantage, but not mandatory. Then, it must be live so that
the community will get more comfortable to support it well. And the team must be active and
transparent as well.

It should be added on OP, even though you think the project will be worth to developed but the dev are scammer, you will lose your money and the project will not even begin.

I can only add a few such as, active telegram groups, no bots. and also always updated about sales tokens. besides, see also the project partner.

Thank you for the tips that you have given to this thread. because this is a tip that all bounty hunters really need .. moreover it's been very difficult lately to find a good and solid campaign bounty ... lots of victims from the project team who don't pay the results of hard work bounty hunters ... hopefully with the tips that you give can make bounty hunters find a good and solid bounty ..

The team is the most important part in choosing not only bounty projects but where to invest too,teams are the ones who decide where to list their coin or tokens on exchanges,the teams should have a higher pro history too

guys, all these tips are general for every ICO project. What about bounties? There should be some extra tips for bounty hunters. From my point of view, you have analyze how much is dedicated to your campaign from the shared pool. I have left the twitter campaigns because there are a lot of hunters and the pool is too small. How do the translating campaigns are paid? Anybody had a deal with that?

Since the coins are not yet listed, there is no way to predict whether participating in a particular bounty is going to be profitable for the participants or not. One option we have is to limit the participation to those bounties which are being managed by reputable managers such as yahoo62278. On the other hand, if a bounty is being managed by some noob or a junior member, then it is a big red flag.

One important thing I think can be put in to evaluate is the difficulty the tasks they give. Quality projects often require bounty tasks that are harder than usual, requiring more effort from the hunters.

How can we be sure that the team members are legit? some project use fake people!
But if proven real and they are credited people then its awesome!

There are some also who fake it! But now i choose to join bounties with reached soft cap!

Also can be fake! how do we know if it is real?

wanna go with an IEO with good exhcange.

A plus factor but not really a good count now!

In my opinion there are three main things that determine a quality level of any project. The first one is the product development level and their core idea. The second one, are the team members and the devs. The last but not least, is their marketing plan (ICO, IEO, Bounty, Trading competitions, social media).

As stated reputed managers involvement also defines the worth of the project. As stated some projects run bounties through their own accounts which were low ranked. For the same we cannot red flag them, in this case we need to go through and find its trust and the team behind. If it is active and has got better plans surely it can be understood going through the Whitepaper.

A big and profitable bounty can first be discovered through a good project. Whoever can research a good project, has already solved the first stage of identifying it. You should then try to see how much the team will respond positively to bounty hunters at the end of the project. The bounty manager you want to work with is also important.

Thats the only factor am relying on now, have had different disappointments even with my research on project and their bounties. Some managers have this track record of getting a reliable project that can at least get the coin listed on exchanges. These managers don't necessarily run a campaign because they need to, they wait for good ones no matter how long it takes and they are higher ranked members here.

Look from the root of it. The project itself, the solution they will give to an existing problem using cryptocurrency applying new technology probably blockchain and having a future plan and future solutions to non existing and probably future problem or future threat.

Also look to the total allocation of the bounty and look if the allocation to every bounties are reasonable enough to join.

Maybe I can add one points, that is good bounties will has a very good website I think it is important.
But there was scams that the websites it was very very good an sophisticated.

Identification of good and solid bounties don't come easy, its really stressful and demands time. To determine such bounties, you have got to research deep into the team and their social media profiles, the investors behind the project, the project in general with its mission and at the same time ignoring ICO websites rating and focusing on your own research is important in identifying good and solid bounties. 

By identifying a good bounty campaign to joined is a function of a good team, base on what is written on the whitepaper, because they are the one control the project fund, Therefore, every body need to participate on his/her own given task for a success of the project.

We all do these things listed by the original poster. It is just so difficult to read the minds of the devs. They can decide to change their minds about rewarding hunters in the blink of an eye and there is nothing anyone can do about it

The tips youve mentioned helps a lot especially me to understand good project, but based on my experienced for 2yrs doing bounties, i experienced a lot of supposed to be good project with big amount of raised money, and a good team and a good project goal, but ended up nothing, one thing i realized this time, is the number of tokens for circulation of the total amount of tokens, the higher the number the lesser the value and the project is going to be dead, what i am trying to emphasize is that, the lower the number the better the value and the better the management. Hope it helps.

Absolutly i agree with you. Now days there is lot of scam project try to fool people. And bounty hunters don't get paid there payment because of scam and dishonest projects. Those points are really use able to find a good project. Also i also want to add about the project ideas, meaningful with paper, a good website and active social media.

I always research bounty manager first. Because a good bounty manager has already done the necessary research before starting that campaign. Then I searching the team members of that project and reading the whitepaper. Reading Whitepaper may take some time, but after reading, you learn what you need to know about that project. And that's why I think whitepaper is an important criterion to read before joining bounty campaigns.

My definition in a good and solid bounty are they will pay btc or eth to bounty Hunters,Limit the participants in bounty to secure the benefits of the first comers who apply in the project and lastly its gives the investors good benefits also in back. I like the way the bounty runs like that because they are concern and giving rewards to the promotes which is the bounty Hunters, and not just like other bounty that pays shitcoins and not listing in good exchange and end up with worthless and disappointment.

Now there are many such campaigns, but it is very difficult to take part in them. As a rule, if you do not have time to register on the first day, then all the places are occupied

For me it is really hard to find a solid bounties right now but i think the best way to identify a good bounty is to check if the project is good and if there telegram community is strong, and off course if the bounty has a trusted manager for sure the bounty is good.

Good project, telegram with strong community  don't guarantee anything if the bounty will be succesfull. I ever heard if there was the dev sellinf their telegroup chat, what can yoi expect from that?
Also, trusted manager doesn't manage altcoin bounty campaign nowadays

everything you say on the topic is completely correct, but even though all of that has been fulfilled, there are still gaps for the project scam, because that is human nature that is always greedy if there is a chance

I've trusted bountyhive for quite a long time. it's good when having a platform that chose everything for you, don't even have to report weekly
and most important: most of the bounties on that are legit

Thank you for sharing my experience, I find it quite true to my experience. Someone posting an intention to invest or participate in the bounty of the project may refer to this article

 ;D For me, completely different projects today are attractive. And remember there is no way to determine a quality project that will bring investment. Even with a long experience, we are constantly mistaken.

GOOD and SOLID projects never stay on the top.
Mostly this projects dont do bounties, remember all projects which found you trough advertise, work for some one, not for you

They are now easier to determine, because not so much as in 2018. I think that it is necessary to analyze the activity of the team and the activity of social networks.

on the past like for example on the year 2017 there are many good and solid projects that have a bounty on this forum , they also have an airdrop as well . they are easy to spot and you cant go wrong on them  . infact you can just even pick a bounty randomly and expect that it was legit  but unfortunately all things have gone thru an end because these days its all good and solid projects are now only being advertise on a real advertising platform and not thru bounties     .

Right now it is really hard to identify a solid bounties because there are only few bounty campaign this year that are getting successful compare before but we can still identify a good bounty by reading there whitepaper and checking if there conmunity is strong.

I think you should include how the project is beneficial to its investors and users. Im pertaining to how "unique" and "effective" the project is compared to the thousands of projects introduced to the public. If you think that the project has potential, and has laid out a detailed map of the planning and execution then i guess you could proceed to doing your own research by looking at ICOratings and such. It is also important that you know the team behind the project, if they are verified or not.

It is hard to identify solid bounties, to increase tye chances of participating in one, you should do your own research and identify if it is worthy of your time or not.

In my experience, you can find a good bounty company only for yourself, and only if you are lucky - all popular companies attract many hunters, which means it will be necessary to divide the prey! However, the majority of unknown companies either do not pay or pay very little and their tokens are difficult to sell. Conclusion - either you risk for the big score or you earn steadily but a little!

I would agreed to other members regarding to their opinion that a Bounty Manager who has a green trust who manage the campaign its an advantage, I believed on this opinion. So far, all of your statement are good and right. Just be resourceful first about the project.

If you just careful and ask the right questions before jumping in you can still find ptofitable bounties. The scammers take advatage to new things so it took a while for them to start scamming ICO. People need to be vigilent about the projects they choose to follow and always ask themselves why they follow the project in the first place. What sets them aprat from the other ICO.

You just said people use to just pick whatever at random and that is the problem. Only pick what you have true interest in.

It will be one of positive point for me if the team has done Road Show and meet up. At least they're showing face and themself to the public.
Also interview and AMA (Ask Me Anything) is the other positive points. I mostly not joining bounty with 4+ months, it's way too long and will be heartbreaking if the project was scam.

wow a perfect summary, over the past 1 year 80% of the projects that I participated in the bounty campaign are scam. The criterion of my good project is that I will first look at their website, a good minimum project they must have a good web, and then their telegram community.

When trying to choose a good bounty, one should act as though he is really investing in the project and then carry out research in accordance to the normal criteria for ICO/IEO incestments.
I personally check the progress of the token sale and for projects for which the token sale hasn't started, i make more thorough research.

Let me ask you Questions..

How do you desbribe your good bounty? Is it good because it is profitable? Or maybe because of its use. Those are the only things that comes into my mind.

Well, of course the main thing doing bounty is get the most out of it and get a lot of profit but see if you are a good bounty hunter the main factor that you will consider eould be the project. This is my take on this topic.

for a minimum funding must be softcap, and the project has a team that is optimistic and this project must also have high hype even though the funds obtained do not reach hardcap and the rest is bounty allocation must be logical because if they offer high rewards, but minimal funding don't ever follow the bounty , for bounty manager it also has an effect because if I choose it wrongly I'm sure there are some bounty manager who cheat by taking part of the reward participants by manipulating payments.

I do not take a lot of companies now
I look at how much social networks are promoted
and then I go to the site and see what the project offers
  will he be in demand

There are bunch of new projects here in bitcointalk and i think some of them are quite pretty good we just have to make a further research about each project we enter. This IEO type of project really a good form of investment and innovative. But we should see the team and staffs if they have no records on scam or fraud projects or else you would end up scammed.

partnership is one of the important point, because everyone need to two feet to stand

if the guideline that I use is to see first what project they are working on. maybe one example is the project of launching a new coin so we need to see where the direction and function of this new coin is. because if the purpose of the coin launch is unclear, it will definitely only be a dead coin without the price of the coin.

identifying good bounties right now is hard at the moment due to the reason that projects are getting turned to scam all of the sudden and not paying the bounties . You just have to stick all the way to the end and wait for your hardworks to payed off that's the only answer. We join the bounties on our own risk so theres no regret to it.

I agree, during 2018 until now, there seems to be no decent reward like in 2017. But many projects are still ongoing. we must know the solid team, and the exchange they will plan. if we are wrong in choosing, then we will get rewards that are not worth the time we work, the worst we are participating in a fraud project

I believe that the developer team plays an important role in a project. At present, token marketing through the IEO method is a consideration for bounty hunters to join because with the IEO, listings can be quickly carried out and transacted.

If the project has what it takes for higher token demand in the future then you've found yourself a good project,every good project must have a working product so that there will be high demand for its token

Asking questions about their token metrics how they arrived at their token price hardcap and softcap decisions. Any project that's worth investing should be able to engage the community members actively on their social media channels.

The best and easiest way to find good bounties is to follow good managers, and their campaigns. Good managers have enough knowledge and skills to screen and eliminate bad projects before accept to manage the rest (good ones). So, good managers are the ones you can follow them to see good projects and good bounties.

Here has different Bounty companies, some one with a good team and like a normal BM... but in the end or team delays payment or BM doesn't want to count of final spreadsheet.

Well there's reputable bounty managers here that you can find and participate because the chance of a successful project is high therefore the chances of bounty hunters get paid are also high. Whether the project is solid or not if they can't reached their target funding it will be useless.

Yeah there are many aspects that you have to check one by one, are they legit, potential and good on the market or not? You have to research from the smallest things like The team they have, ANN Thread, market interest of the project, innovations they brought, active dev and marketing and many others, you have to do a lot of that to avoid the risk of getting a scam project.

The main problem of bounty hunters these days are not that they are not getting paid, their problem actually is the bounty reward is lesser than what they are expecting. Some bounty offers a total reward of 1 million usd in tokens, but the moment it's listed in exchange, the value could decrease to as low as 100K usd in tokens, that's sad.

the point is enough to see which project is good or not. because so far it has been very difficult to see which projects are high quality and far from scams, so that the bounters are not in vain in participating in a project, I suggest looking at their roadmap on the website or in the whitepaper so that we can know how the project concept is running the project.

Mostly yes, expectations is higher than the actual amounts of rewards to received, a lot of those bounty campaigns who able to get listed from the exchange decreased it's value from the ICO period, making it more lesser for the bounty participants to have the shares that they've expected to
received, it's disappointing but it's better than you don't get anything, good project though can bounce after those dumped if the team is really working
with the progress of their coin.

If that trend will continue, I'm afraid there will be no more bounty hunters working for a project.
They also have to revise their payment method, if they will pay BTC or ETH, I guess they will get some good support from bounty hunters.

For me, the team is in the first place. First of all, you need to know the reputation of the project team. People with extensive experience in the field of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, with a prestigious education, experienced businessmen can be among the founders of the company. Usually it is written on the official website of the project.

In addition, there are specialized sites and forums where the company’s rating is calculated. Be careful with the timing of the Bounty programs, so as not to participate in those that are already closed or are about to close.

It is very difficult to find out a good project presently. Every month soo many projects launch their ICO on the marketplace. They present their project as the best project for investment. For find out good quality bounties, we need to study website and whitepaper. Learn about project prospect and know the possibility of their development. Ensure that whose are in the team and their experience. Then join the project and work for success.

whatever it is, of course we need to identify from the team, and the concepts they make. A good bounty will certainly have a good project base. because it is necessary to do in-depth research, and do not rely on large allocations.

That thing made us blinded, to be honest, it's the first thing I look at in a bounty, of course who wound't want a high reward?
However, things have really changed, the high reward now is not anymore attractive because most of them when launch in a exchange does not appreciate it's value, they still dump and even though we receive a reward that is high in value but when it's in exchange, it will only cost a penny.

it's easy to figure out the solid and legit bounty just as long as you just make sure it's complete with the project's leverage requirements and to be sure that you also need to talk to the admin for sure.

Maybe most of those bounty hunters will no longer be interested to received bounty tokens, but we can't assume that there's no one will work even in this types of situations, there's still participants who will gonna take their chances and continue working with bounty teams, still hoping that time will come for them and let them to have some good rewards.

It is hard to find solid bounties among the list of bounties that gets added. The worthiness of the projects depend much upon the services and products behind the same. Moreover bounty managers make a big trust among the entire forum members. Beyond this there were some campaigns that were run by trusted campaign managers and due to the failure of the project as bounties weren't distributed several campaign managers have got red tags.

I want to add some extra point of how to identify a good solid project for a bounty campaign. A good project always organizing some AMA's or offline meetings. It means that the project takes too serious and don't try to hide anything from our eyes. Also, every time please check the website's traffic and the registration date.

I think that all points you have is enought to know the bounty solid.
We can know the bounty good with progress and update everyday.
But you can't ever miss the scam project.

As I can see most of the bounty hunters nowadays, even they knew it is risky and no assurance if the project will pay them or not. I think for them or to majority is come what may, and to identify if it is a good bounty is when the team are consistent to all the statement they announce to their community.

precisely. that's what most people feel. of course we all want a large allocation, it's just that we need to be careful, sometimes, a large allocation also backfires when the token / coin has entered the market. it can make dumps easily, and in this case, the team is always the main target to blame. Therefore, identifying the management team will be an important point for future project development.

Am of the opinion that the softcap and Hardcap being reached should be very transparent for all to see because some projects just say that softcap has been reached just to get the attention of many being that hunters get discouraged once a project dosen't  reach its softcap.  How transparent a project is to its community goes a long way to determine if the project will succeed.

Identfying good and solid bounties is key to your success in bounty hunting. Promoting any scam project for months and ending up receiving nothing can really be crazy. Why not spend the necessary time to do a thorough research into the project, the team behind it, what the project wish to add to the existing market, the advisors behind the project and how their channels support functions. These are key in determing good and solid bounties.

If you join a bounty or have interest to join a bounty, you should pay your attention on its past operations. I meant if the bounty has run for weeks or months, you should check whether it delayed its payments for participants or not.
For example:
If a bounty originally announces that it will run from Jan. to Apr. (of 2019, for example), but then when April passed, there is no payments, and they announce to expand bounty for another 3 months. It is a good signal of bad bounty, and participants will highly not get payments at the end of that bounty.

Check if the project has a future by checking if the project will continue, this means how well can they hit soft cap, then you can also check team activity are they serious in achieving their goal? This will give you an idea of  if the project will be a sucess or not. And if the project wont end in success then automatically the bounty won't end well

Apart from this, the other things I check is how active the team are during community discussions. I also check how unique the project is, if it is a copy cat project or the project is coming with it's own unique case. To add to this, I do check the bounty pool because some bounty pool are too huge that lures hunters to it and the end of the day the pay lesser than that. So I go for pool below 250k$ which is cool to pay from the team.

these are very good points that you address here. i especially like point 5. you can rely on well known managers and there should be no problems.
and point 6 would be perhaps still the info on bountys which pay out regularly. there the risk is minimized.

Maybe you can advise some good bounty managers that work only with solid projects and distributes stakes and payout in time? I can only tell one agency - Adsist Media. They looks ok, but I don't like some of the projects that they are supporting currently.

yes some of the reviews that you have said are things you need to do before joining a project, besides I think we also need to research them further, I mean both the team experience in managing the previous project and also their road map. Because legitimate projects usually get good results.

You already mentioned some criteria. But those are not enough. There has more ways to follow but some difficulties are always there and any of them can prove a project in the way of doing scam.

By the way, White paper, roadmap, Team management are also important in this respect. To prove a legitimize project, those criteria should be followed.

Some bounties have footnote "rules are subject to change according to bounty manager" is one sign to know that reward only good for the first few weeks.

I just rely on the proven bounty managers I have had a deal with,so I am sure that all my stakes will be counted correctly and I will definitely get my reward for my job.

Agree, if we follow the manager who has trusted his quality then of course they will also look
for a quality project to be managed by him. So just follow managers who are already experienced in succeeding a project.

Not an assurance thing everytime even if you do just follow these managers but somehow they are much more better than to go with unknown or new managers
yet you cant see its past histories on bounty handling and success.Unlike to those reputable managers which you know that they do somehow study or analyze if the projects they would tend to handle is a worthy one.

Identifying good projects are the tedious work of it all than just participating in the bounty program or campaign. To identify a good project, you have to research deep into the project, the advisors behind it, the team behind it, their core mandate or mission, and how their support channels work in support of the project.

Ideally, your points about spotting good bounties are valid, but it's not the case always. The very first bounty hosted by Anyone Project looked like a joke to me and I overlooked it, not knowing that it will pay people even up to 1BTC.  Yes, we normally look out for good team, good bounty manager, solid project, bounty allocation, bounty duration and so on but that's not enough. Sometimes luck works. I put all my effort in a bounty way back called ecoinomic haven looked at their solid team and project, but I didn't make a penny from at the end. Also I prefer bounties paying in trading coins like BTC, ETH, USDT, TRX over non trading.   

You have already listed the most important aspects to consider in other to identify good and solid bounties. I would like to buttress more on no 5, there are BM that have that very keen eye for good projects, there is one in particular, have joined 5 of her campaigns and they have all paid massively very well

This are  very good points to look out for. Reading the whitepaper of the project can also be convincing enough that the project is okay.

The most important thing is not your participation in the bounty campaign but the authenticity of the campaign is what matters. Identification of good bounties is by researching deep into the project itself, the team and advisors behind it, the investor and partners supporting it and how their support team responds to the needs of their customers.

Well, it is good we are now seeing some good bounty campaigns, which is better than what it used to be some couple of months back.
Good bounties most times should be traced son to bounty managers with reputation. Therefore, if a manager already has his image tainted , then it is no go area for me.

Identifying good and solid bounties does not come easy and it is the core aspect of it all in terms of bounty hunting. First, you have to do a thorough research concerning the project in picture, check its rating on ico rating websites, check the team profiles and the core investors behind the project and surely you will be able to distinguish and choose good and solid bounties.

If you choose bounty campaign you must be sure about the future roadmap, the considered details are the most important things before joining the bounty campaign as a bounty hunter. More than that, the first question should be like; what is the aim of the project? But the problem is some bounty campaigns don't want to pay, what was promised in the terms of the bounty campaign by the bounty manager. Overall you think it will your respective achievement but disappointment is waiting for all bounty hunters who prefer to ignore the stated arguments.

You can also see if their site is a one pager landing site. You get suites to make those within minutes. Very easy to do and change and repeat over and over again and yet people still fall for it.
If the site works like every other site and they have nothing more then that site and some social media be careful, it might not be a scam but chances are it is. I like to call them
dump projects" they copy paste. Make the coin about something new then add new writing and add some bs story for why it exists followed off by pictures of people apparently in the team.

may guys idetify bouties with bounty manager or bounty team. is there limits for amount of participants. and ofcours  what about project which you going to promote.

Everything that the topic starter wrote here is true. But, unfortunately, the project you’ve chosen may not always succeed. A successful project is like a winning lottery ticket. As an example, I recently joined the project in the last 4 weeks to punish the cheater, which in airdrop was used my nickname BTT. The manager deleted the scammer, and I, as it turned out, got into an excellent project which I hadn’t noticed before.

some tips that are very useful for bounty hunters who want to identify a good bounty project ... and as long as I join the bounty project, very often I do the things you mentioned above ... especially what I see is the bounty manager who has greentrust in the forum bitcointalk ..

there is something ive came to understand about good bounty projects,if the bounty project you want to promote have a successful  teams with real life business its a big sign that the project will become successful because wont be a problem for the teams even if ICO fund is not raised successful.

You've said it all, all the above listed points are what needed to identify a good project. But the main thing to look out for is the team behind the project.

It is very difficult to determine a good bounty , now there are good projects that go to the ieo , and all other projects in the ico now do not collect anything , if you choose generosity, then choose only that the project has an ieo.

My most important method of identifying a good project is the Team behind it and their experience, then the bounty manager that is handling the project, this two has been quite helpful to me in choosing a good project

Projects that sell tokens through IEO are more in demand by bounty hunters today. Besides looking legit, the project is faster listing in the exchanger and bounty hunter can sell tokens more easily. Projects that carry out IEO are usually faster in duration because the sales process is also fast

very good and useful information for bounty hunters ... because many bounty hunters don't pay attention and analyze a number of factors so that bounty hunters can get paid and a successful project .. I've been active as a bounty hunter since mid 2017 until now I always pay attention to several factors so that until now I have always been able to get paid from successful projects ... before I have taken the BCNEX project and the project reached Hardcap ... and now I am waiting for distribution time ..

Good bounties is not hard to know or identify, good bounties can be known through all the above listed points, but in addition, knowing good bounties also requires been patience by studying the project Whitepaper and be sure they have a good Usecase and what it takes to fully establish it.

BCNEX doesn't reach hardcap but they collect around 88% of total hardcap.
But at OP, I disagree on option 5, because every bounty manager is not guarantee that project will be successful, many experienced bounty managers fail, maybe option 6 can be added "see products offered"

the tips that you give are very enough for us to be able to follow up so that we don't feel worse after seeing the results of the token distribution that we received at a very low price ... then I will add a few things as tips for bounty hunters .. the first thing we should see price of 1 token = ?? look for a standard price like $ 0.01 - $ 0.01 ... and the second note the number of allocations for the campaign bounty that corresponds to a minimum of $ 350 K - $ 1M ... and the last thing we should consider is the Roadmap that has detailed and long term explanations .. so this is I can add to continue the points you mentioned above.

Identification of good and solid bounties is the other of bounty hunting. If you cannot identify good and solid bounties, then you have a longway to go. Identifying good and solid bounties is by doing a thorough research into the project you come across, the advisors and team behind it and as well as the concept of what the project wish to bring to the market.

The most important thing is Team. We must search carefully for their core team profession. And if there is one member of the Team who is considered to have been a part of the Bounty who has failed, it is better not to follow. As for Bounty Manager, I don't think it has anything to do with Bounty's success. As good as any Bounty Manager is, all decisions are in the Team. The team may decide to cut the bounty allocation at the end of the bounty.

all those who achieve the success of the project feel behind the scenes are a solid team and community and work together in developing projects, and do not forget
Bounty community managers should be considered because experienced managers will never take on projects that do not want to put their shares first to keep the community getting results in doing the tasks written in the bounty thread.

Studying the project is the first factor to identify good and solid bounties. If the project is promising (have an experienced team, detailed whitepaper, working MVP, attractive concept..) then its bounty should be promising too. Otherwise, stay away from investing your money or timing on these projects.

To identify a good bounty program, the participant needs to dedicate some time to study extensively about the project behind the bounty program. Also, read about the reputation of the bounty manager. This helps to know the level of capabilities of the chosen bounty program.

 I can tell this has nothing to show for a good project as a point to use , many claimed to be this and that when project try to promote their ICO but end up in shit after lot of funds were raised , I have lot of them and are just out there with no one to question them and in this regard I believe in direct trade on best coins or tokens I see on best exchange and don't have to wait or do any other thing to put my hope in nothing for sake dream any more.

For me there's some good bounties. The key is the project, whenever a project only focusing on their marketing it's a pump and dump token or coin. If there's a good communication between the owner and the investor and they are focus on their project that is a good project and will give a good bounty too. Also don't except high salary in single night better to wait the product done and after it you will earn from it

As a general rule, entering for the last few weeks is always better, because you have the most information about funds raised by the ICO and you can easily predict the number of participants and total number of stakes.

Wao. Thanks so much for this Eye-opener. I have really learnt enough from it. Lately, most bounties are just scams.  A lot that I have done. It is well!

bounty manager that have good reputation manage campaign will give  us more confidence to join on it.they will not accept all campaign , and analize it first by their experience and knowledge.bounty manager has not power about bounty allocation , it depend on team decision.

The foundation of every good projects starts from the teams,if the teams have good experience they will be capable of defeating any challenges along the way and secondly the teams with experience must not waste their experience on crappy idea,they must introduce something entirely new so that investors can get better interest in their project more like real working product

Great teams who are professionals and have enough before building any projects because  ive come to understand that most new project's team are focusing on the money they will earn from the Project ICO or IEO.

Make sure the bounty project is worth your time and energy,the bounty must have working product or else look else where

I think the team behind a project their antecedents and whether they have a history doing what they wanna do is important. All these can always be gathered from the whitepaper of the project

It's very easy to know good and solid projects.. The first thing is to make research about the team and also make some findings about the whole project.then we check the allocation and the market worth...

it is very difficult to find the best bounty project ... but I myself often look for bounties through website rate ... because there we can see ICOs that have reached Softcap to Hardcap ... because most ICOs that have reached Softcap will be successful ... and automatically, participants bounty will receive the results of the success of ICOs that have been carried out by altcoin developers ... and the bounty hunter will definitely receive payment according to the allocation that has been determined ...

Lol. What was considered best bounty in the past has ended up being shit in the last. So what I think you should check for is the integrity of the BM involved, his track record and all, chdxk for the team behind the project you want to campaign for and whether or not the token is trading. All of these helps.

Lol. There are a lot of them out there, so also are there many scam projects too. well, for me instinct works for me most of the time. There are no fast rules, but there are certain things you could at least consider before diving into any project

Bounty manager can be one of the keys in choosing a good bounty. Managers with good reputation will definitely choose and select the campaign that will be run, they will not be haphazard to accept all projects.

what about their mvp?
at least with a working prototype of their product could make us easier to decide if their project worth to join or nah, because we can see or test their product first. it still damn better than just seeing their ideas on the whitepaper.

the most important thing, in my opinion, is the team and the whitepaper. I've seen a lot in this forum about whitepaper counterfeiting. From the whitepaper, you can see all the explanations about the bounty/project, whether impressed fraud or not.

Can you give me some bounty list that you joined now I want to participate in bounty

It's near impossible these days to get in to such bounties. Honestly, it does not exist. All project teams are greedy or scan having the motivation to scam people.

Gone are the days when you can rely on whitepapers to determine the good outcome of projects,now we have many copycats in this space that steals from other projects whitepaper to complete theirs,its better to focus on the teams and the idea they want to introduce to crypto world and how experienced are the teams

Indeed, what the OP said is important in selecting projects that we want to promote. But the allocation seems not too important. Do you want a large allocation but not a good project? Better a little allocation but a good project and give value to the token that we get.

I think the reliability of the information provided by the project is only relative, it can not be completely asserted about the project, so when we join the bounty of a project that's not listed yet and the reward is their token, we have nothing to confirm about that bounty, everything is just a perspective and a relative analysis from us. Unless the project is listed or the project offers rewards as coins that have value like bitcoin or ethereum, if not, I firmly believe that there is no way to confirm the good level of a bounty

Whitepapper is not enough. The information provided on the whitepaper is what the team want the outside world to see. Most important is the partnership, how far are they Close to fundraising goals because technically the success also depends on amount raised to develop the product. You can check expert opinions and reviews too but there are paid reviews these days

Check the bounty campaigns board of the forum and you will see plenty of the good bounty threads. Later check the stated steps and find the bounty campaign that suits your needs related to your forum rank. Learning as a bounty hunter requires to analyze the teams, projects before accepting the decision of joining any bounty.  Reward distribution shouldn't be a year after the end of bounty and be careful about the shady bounty campaigns.

Having a decent whitepaper will show the project a strict, legit project, it is like a business plan. Information provided by the ICO reviewers and experts is not coming from the proper analysis, as you explained those reviews are paid in hand with the allocated token in order to get the good scores. Success is not entirely arranged with the fundraising goals, by the way.

How to identify good and solid bounties is very important aspect of bounty hunting and without identification of good and solid bounties, you will always end up promoting scam and useless projects that will never see an exchange platform. Investigate and research the project, the team behind it, their advisors and their experience and what they wish to offer the crypto world.

Personally I just take a look on what most high ranking hunters are promoting, research on them and eventually join the one that comes top on my choices. I do not have to go through the rigors of ICO and IEO sites. I also detest bounties that ask for KYC and those that do not specify when bounty will end especially those that will continue until ICO is sold out even if it takes a year. I do not need to join bounties that last for more than two months, maximum is three.

If you ask me how to identify a good and solid bounty, I will tell you identifying a solid project or bounty to promote is the core work of bounty hunting and nothing else. Try as much as possible to understand the project, its mission in the crypto space, the core team backing the project, the founder or ceo and how their support system works.

participating in good and solid bounties is very important to the success of a bounty hunter but identification of such good and solid projects has a great impact in this success story. So to identify such solid and good bounties, one has to read more on the project and make necessary deductions, investigate the team through their linkedIn profiles or websites, their board of advisors and how they provide customer support in general.

The whole crypto industry is a matter of luck. If you are unlucky, you will never get money from crypto and even if you get the money, you will hold until everything drops to the last dollars before you realize to start withdrawing your funds. I do not have any solid way of choosing my projects but I have got some few bucks from them unlike people who join bounties that have git big names.

When it comes to bounty there is no assurance whether you check the team or the bounty manager or team who will handle it. Unlike before whatever it is and doing things on list will give you a good bounty since market is booming but I think it would be a good thing to take the risk because thats how it works in this business. Investing time and effort.
