Bitcoin Forum

I am just a beginner of this forum, curious how to find a promising bounty campaign because of the many good projects but at the end of the campaign being a scammer,

1. Check Team
2. Check Concept
3. Check Partnership
4. Check Media Press
5. Check Sales IEO

Whether to follow the bounty must know 5 above it so that the bounty we follow does not lead Scamerr,

What is your opinion?

Well, I have projects that have a good grade on the criteria you laid down but unfortunately, it's not a guaranty that they are not going to scam or the project will meet failure, better promote or join a campaign where the coin is already in the market and being managed by a trusted bounty manager.

To find out a good bounty or new projects, in my view of it having a green trust for a bounty managers together with high rank is much more advantage to take part of it, but its not mandatory. Then, if I am going to observe what is trend now was that if the bounty is under by IEO programs, it is surely a high chance that the project will succeed if the exchange is on top in the market, then the transparency of the project team also the Developer are much well good also.

Indeed, in joining a gift campaign we must know and actually examine and correct it, we must also examine the 5 above so that we do not mix the gifts carelessly.

That's good enough, but i suggest you to take a look at the community behind the project, if that was having a very active community and that can be considered as a legit ico that will give a good impact to the bounty participants too.

Your suggestions on how to check a good ICO are good but still it will not guarantee that they are not a scam like i join Ambit mining project in which all of the team are legit but still in the end they were scam. You may check the success of CENTRA TECH ICO too but still a scam project involving Floyd Mayweather as the endorser but your suggestions are better than none.

Media press, I think sometimes this is just bringing hype to the project and good projects that doesn't have budget to avail one can't have it. Partnership this also leads to hype but if that partnership can lead to use case of the tokent they are developing, it's a good factor.

Well those factors you have included were all good factors.

All the points you stated about detecting if a bounty is good or not are a good points but it doesnt mean all the projects will end up been good,they might have fund raising issues too or just end up been a not too good project ,new crypto projects coming out now are mostly been released by mediocre teams and not by professionals

Now it is difficult to find out whether the project will be good or not or not.. maybe as there is written it all can be a guideline too, but in my opinion it is better to choose a bounty led by the name of the bounty, not to cooperate with the bounty manager who is now starting to get a lot and new people are emerging..

note that the because a project didn't reach its cap it means they are scam. But yes, it's important to check all those to see if the project is legit or not but also know that all those can't guarantee success

All this looks good

but my observation from fake projects busting is that scammers always get the whitepapers wrong and that should be a starting point to do a personal whitelisting to avoid investing your/our precious time, otherwise all this listed is a good way to pick out ptojects likely to succeed.

When you join a bounty campaign make sure you have done some research on the project, personally I always check project team and product or service they are offering.

Like the 5 examples above are things we need to know before joining a gift, and don't forget the community as you say. I think it's enough to step and hunt tokens. and one more about the team's experience before managing the previous project.

Yeah, those points might  be a good check, but even if they try their best, they might still fail with their project. This does not mean they scammed you. They just failed to deliver. The most important check is the team and who are involved. If there are well known developers, then high chances it won't be a scam. If they remain anonymous, just stay away from it.

The most important thing in my opinion is Point 1 and 2. Because all that greatly affects the development of the project going forward. Because if the team is experienced in the field it is certainly very good. And also the concept of the project is indeed very important. Plus if the concept of the project is very unique and useful for many people.

yes that's good, if you have researched all or all of the contents of the project I think you have completed to join them. but you need to be vigilant because scamers are always around us and they are also not easy to guess. the important thing is to make sure that their project is legitimate

why would you want to waste your time advertising something that is going to fail whether it is a scam from day one or not? checking all these things will only give you a false sense of confidence and will mislead you into thinking it may not be a bad idea to go in deeper in that token.
the reality is that because of lack of usability in each of these projects that raise millions of dollars, they are all destined to drop hard and die.
as a result spending your time and money on anything else can be a lot more productive for you.

I have been involved in bounty companies for a year now, and noticed that nothing will give you a guarantee that the project is not a fraudster
I met a tokuyu company that allegedly sold the maximum number of tokens, but was not displayed on any good exchange, and the token died

yes I agree with your statement, the most important thing before joining this project is to examine their road map first, as well as the products they offer. If so, there will be many ico investors who are interested and join them.

I agree, that is the basic when checking a campaign if it is good or not but if you can still check any other stuffs on them it will be much better and sure.

not necessarily, but if the management team has high integrity and has experience in managing the project then the chances of scam are very few, but we need to know the project scam and failure is clearly different.

yes they are good, I use that myself to check on the team if they are fake, check on the project to know if it's real and the progress they have made so far. And it works for me to be very honest with you

The method is no longer reliable now, because scammer will be able to manipulate it all
It's very difficult now to find a good campaign

Becoming a Hounter Bounty is like finding a diamond in the middle of a swimming pool. if you want to succeed you have to be more careful in finding and reading important points, the points you mentioned above are very good and that must be done by the prospective bounty hounter. so there's nothing else if you want to be successful, research is key

yes, a very good point to serve as a guideline, I think these 5 points are very important elements to see the quality of a project, and if those 5 points are present in each project, it will be ensured that the project is not a scam project, and not only that we also have to see in detail how the concept they are running, because many projects that have a brilliant concept, but in the end the coin dies due to dump prices.

At least we know the 5 mentioned it is indeed difficult to predict which one will be better and will not be a scammer, but in my opinion it's a good 5 ways mentioned above.

I think they are good choices and will help you. Personally I have other means to know a good project and a better bounty to join. With the way many projects have deceived users, its sometimes hard to know which project is good or bad

Yes it is on the surface, but even with all these projects can still fail. Haven't you heard of projects with solid team(s) that raised money only to exit due to their projections not panning out as planned etc?. However you're on the right track with that list, I would add website (web presence), domain registration/expiration dates(these little info tells me alot about their desires to be around for the longterm) too.

@op follow your guts and support any project you feel it is worthy enough, many post here are base on sentiment plus past experience they had, bottom line is as much as those guide you mentioned seem like what to look out for in a bounty project, but it still not a guarantee for success, so when supporting a project you should be aware of this, for those who are so bias on alts and think nothing good will come out of them, not too long ago people were also very bias about btc but now it is different.

A good idea, but if you've seen bounty EXtoke, they have uploaded videos on Twitter's social media channels and after that, the development team provided information that the softcap was achieved, this is very confusing.
I always see road maps and white paper, whether they copy it or not.
But it all started with experience and thanks for sharing.

I really can't assure you that,  nothing is guaranteed in the industry yet. The best option is to have regulation in place. I can't find a better way to tackle the scam in the cryptocurrency industry because it's increasingly alarming and  there is no more need for running from regulation

We all check the bounty of the company, based on our experience, but sometimes we still get caught up in scam. These tips are good but nothing is guaranteed of course.

In my opinion, even though the bounty has a good criteria as long as the one who manage is not a trustworthy guy you are very vulnerable to scam. Also even though the bounty has a good qualities but it didnt reach it softcap till the end, you must move right away to another bounty but sometimes I experienced a bounty with a good luck  so I would like to suggest that never give up even though the bounty that you've joined is not worth it there's a lot of another chances.

Sometimes I choose projects that are better than interested in managers, because just confirming with the project team that they are organizing a bounty campaign is enough. Bounty manager is just a manager, when needed we can reflect directly on the team

If the project is a scam, still scam. Five (5) things you mentioned need to be considered to join in the bounty campaign. Of the five (5) things, the team and concepts I think are the main ones.
In this case, I think you are already capable and already very experienced.

In my opinion, what you say is very good for determining whether the project is good or not, because if you have ensured that the 5 things you mentioned are really real, I am sure everything will be fine and safe to control.

1. Team can be made up very professionally, often it is hard to tell the difference.
3. Partnerships are a good indicator as long as you can verify it in both sides.
4. Easily bought
5. Often faked.

yes, the five components I think are not guarantees, but at least that gives the experience of the new bounty hunter who wants to join the project. when they get the component and are sure to join it will be good. because not all bounties already have products running.

A bounty manager who has a green trust with a higher rank does not guarantee that the Bounty does not commit a scam. There are some new bounty manager and from team itself but successfully run the bounty so don't be fooled by that, a project might not scam at least from the points explained by the op.

Also check community and support as well as pray to be lucky too, a lot project may have all these but still fail, majority due to scam intent while a few is because of market conditions and uncertainties

If  come to a New project market then this trends and rules  follow. It is necessary to market these things with the title of Bounty Hunter. If the project is not good, then the investor will be in loss. And Hanter will not get the payment.

Good list and covers the fundamentals.


This is the key advice - there are so many projects that if it doesn't solve a unique problem or address a gap that is useful to address it might still fail. Not because the team intended to scam, just like any business the idea was not something the market could get behind. That said ...If they remain anonymous... is the biggest red flag. Why would any team who genuinely wanted to make a success of their project, to address a real need and see future success - stay anonymous?

Sure, they might be working on the project part-time subject to raising funds, they may be concerned about also being scammed if they are successful and known. They can say this and again be open about it. Overall though, the team should be transparent in their presence, communications, progress, updates and yes - problems and roadblocks. If they are, then some inexperience, a need to polish the concept, a few gaps in the white paper, etc. are all forgivable. Hiding, not so much.

CBF

Those above listed criterias can be faked a times, don't rely too much on those in choosing your bounty campaign, wait until the end of the campaign to know if you have made the right move or not. No bounty is success guaranteed.

+ full agreement. It is better to choose a working product or someone who is already trading on the stock exchange. they are few but they are there. Everything comes with experience.  a beginner will make a lot of mistakes before finding a really worthwhile product.

Listing these shows you are not a beginner in the crypto space, although you might be a beginner on this forum.
If you have been able to do adequate research on the team and you have confirmed that they are real and can be trusted and not only that, but that they are professionals in the field then it is as good as to say that it is not a scam project.
Other aspects are meant for one to determine if the project is viable or not.

that's right, manipulation can be done with the 5 aspects mentioned. the safest or least risk is joining a bounty campaign that already has a product running. like eterbase, and some bounties with btc payments.

I participate in bounty of those projects in which I would invest myself. It is better to spend 2-3 days to study the project than a month on the bounty of the project, which will be Scam.

Might be helpful to some extent.But unfortunately, a number of bounties has all these criteria but still failed or turned to be Scam. Possessing those criteria is not a guarantee that the campaign won't fail you.

Usually start up project has small followers but when they start a bounty and require participants to follow their twitter handle, that's when they will have more followers, but more people participating them does not mean they will already become successful, but there's a chance of bigger success as these bounty hunters not just join the bounty without making a research on their own.

Good scammers are able to fake all of those things you mentioned, the fact is you never know if something will turn out to be fraudulent.  Some of the biggest companies in the world and wealthiest people are guilty of fraud and they are watched much more closely, crypto won't be much worse since this is a scammers playground.

It is great to hear that someone new is very determined to end up on a promising project that he has to do some checking of the background. However, always remember that this is just the surface. The follow up questions would be, what specifically are you gonna look at the team? Which particular information or detail you want to consider significant in their concept? Or how do you gauge a valuable partnership?

That's right, we have to check every little detail thing possible, but now all the bounty project is always looked so legit but in the end it's just nothing but a garbage, so you should study more about bounty companies in which you will participate.

of course it is very good to check, all that the OP mentioned is indeed a number of factors that are very important to analyze, because from some of these aspects a project can be seen in its future.

All of these are ok without the Media Press, they don't have to do that, all they need is a unique concept and a dedicated team to make the project and platform work and the community will take care of the promotion, every project are known by the products or services they created nothing more than that

I think what you're talking about above is pretty good for bounty check. However, I first investigate the bounty manager before joining a bounty campaign. I especially prefer campaigns organized by managers which have positive trust. And I recommend you to read the comments on the ann page of the project. Particularly, the answers given by the team members to the questions are an important criterion for me.

You are thinking like you are not a newbie. But you are right those elements are the most important to know and to research before joining in the bounty. But always check or monitor the bounty manager if he is always gives an update about the project. Because one of the sign of a bounty scam is when your manager did not give an update anything about the project.

Remember the project that holds a bounty is those who are mostly looking for investors. promotion is very important, don't underestimate it. many projects were successful because they carried out massive promotions to find investors. concepts, and teams are also important, and all important aspects. developer and bounty hunters pay attention to all these aspects.

That's very true, before we join in the bounty campaign we really have to do research on the Bounty project, so that our work is not in vain.  And the 5 things you mentioned are all true, and if we are sure of the future of the project then we decide to join or not.

yes, you should check all things about the project if you want to join the bounty campaign my friend
especially their team, because a project will scam or not is depends from their team member buddy
also read the whitepaper carefully

Perhaps now the time when in bounty need go only then when you see the availability of product have project. Since everything else is just words and nothing is fixed.

I most agree with number 5, because that's IEO with so small chance of being falsified. If it's an ICO, I would not bother to check it, because it was so easily faked. In the end, the result of IEO was the final decision whether the project would run or fail halfway.

Please add to the list the bounty manager and the way the project treats its hunters. The bounty manager is very important since good managers will try their best not to support scams and will try their best to get you paid.
It helps you feel more rest assured. This new way of doing things with the IEO should be good for hunters since your chances of being paid are vastly improved and then you know it will have value since it will be prelisted on that same exchange.

All good but i will give additional..

check their white paper and you can learn more.
You can also have their roadmaps for future reference.
Check also the lined up conventions and seminars as most legits ICO team do this to gather more investors.

You should have elaborated more on this for better understanding. Most especially the area that talk about IEO sales.
Most of the times, bounty would have started before the IEO, so is it that one needs to check.
Well inasmuch as the IEO is held on a big and reputable exchange, then it is a good one.

Its very difficult to identify good project these days because most of them come as a saint in the initial stage and then turn to devil at the latter stage of the project. This makes it very difficult to identify good project. There has been instances where some project pass all the listed criteria but still later turn out to be a scam.

Although nothing can be guaranteed in this space but your checks are surely a good start. You can as well include token information and economics to your check. You can equally tell a good bounty from there

I have seen some of these criteria existing in some of the coins I've invested and promote but unfortunately, this is not 100% guaranteed but at least if all these criteria are all there you will have a better picture if the team and the project are for real, I would like to add interaction this is very important, they should be capable of doing AMA or ask me anything and webinar or events.

Things could change even during the campaign so it would be wise for someone to keep on checking on the project to make sure there isn't any scamming going on.

Do you think that we all have the opportunity to check the quality? If this could be rechecked qualitatively, then there would be no such massive fraud in ICO projects. Unfortunately, sometimes a few information about the project and its team comes only from this team or its nominees.
I still think that only the relevant government agencies can effectively deal with fraud.

you are right, even though we have checked and are sure of the project that we are following. keep checking and following updates on their social media groups that will enable us to assess the progress of what will happen to the project in the future. because we can get an indication of a scam project when the campaign starts or after the campaign is finished.

Ofcourse it's always good to mark those red flags you mentioned, but it doesn't 100% secure and beware you from the scam.

If the project is carrying out an IEO, I think it is unlikely that the project will be scam, especially if the project is carrying out an IEO on a large exchanger such as binance, kucoin or other. Making research first is important not only for investors but also for bounty hunters because if the project is a scam, bounty hunters get nothing

It would now go into the bounty program you must be crazy if you want. So as now everywhere deception. Even if the project has good reviews and high praise it is likely it is bought. I can advise you to use the information from paid sites. There people do not need to lie and they provide a constructive analysis of the project.

Even if a project has the 5 mentioned criteria, it still doesn't guarantee the success of the project but nonetheless the points you mentioned are very necessary before one can join any campaign

I agree with your opinion that we have to do these checks but after all these checks, some times market conditions not favorable and the project collapse due to that. Many projects failed due to unfavorable market conditions only as they will not succeed to achieve their targets.

Yes. Check the team, concepts and partnership projects that you want to follow. I also checked this before joining the prize campaign. And in my opinion, that's one way to avoid scammers.

all projects in the campaign have that. all written in their whitepaper, but it does not guarantee that the project can succeed and pay the bounty hunter. but the analysis step must be done, and the rest is our luck.

Bounty manager have the right to change the law of participation or to do in any case, so I will not call them fraud. But it is true that when you join, you should focus continuously to be able to follow the rules they have given

usually if there are rules changes when the campaign is running, there will definitely be a notification and participants can adjust accordingly. except when the bounty has finished it will make many participants disappointed. but that is as usual.

All of this applies but not a guaranty that the project will become a success for a long haul if you find the project that has all of this be sure to check and follow the development of their platform there are a lot of projects that are good in the beginning but end up losing steam.

It is totally a waste of time to promote bounties that turn out to be scam at the end of the day. So these checks are very important and if you are convinced about them, then you go ahead and participate in the bounty.

It is important to check all these aspects before investing for promoting any new cricket project. But checking all this will be enough to find  scam or legit project is no, since the project can steal your money at any stages but with all the kegit details the chances of happening is less.

of course, a project that has a clear direction and a good team in it is a good project. make it a habit to analyze projects before deciding to participate in them, read and understand on their whitepaper. there are many things that you must consider before participating.

the idea is good, but unfortunately it can't be realized. the best thing to do is to join a campaign of
well-known bounty managers. they check for different points and you can normally rely on that. ;)

Yes this are good enough for choosing good bounty projects but mind you always check on the project teams more because some might be fake teams pretending to be real ,they use stolen identity to fool investors

Overall excellent recommendations. The main essence of all these points is to study absolutely all available information about the project. If you have already become a member of the bounty campaign, then don't forget to continue to follow the project. If you notice signs of fraud in time, you will not lose your time to support it.

Wow, it's amazing that a person can understand these things. This is a recipe for checking the paste for ICO. For IEO, I think you only need to do step 3 and check which Exchange they listed the IEO.

Good luck to you!!

I have to agree with you
but the opinion that the OP says can be the basis and benchmark in every study and analysis of an ico.
so I think the OP must further deepen knowledge.
and as you say. that there is no guarantee in any bounty campaign even with trusted managers

i am totally agree with your suggestion. we need be more carefull and more selective to choose which bounty that we want to join. Many bounty went to scam and didn't pay us as bounty campaigner. we as bounty need to be clever don't ever give chance to them to scam us

we all have been reminded that the only way to identify autotentic projects is by following all those rules you specified but that does not guranteed that the project will last. it can end up been a scam project. some might be good but yet failed to have successful softcap which could lead to project closure or pause Mode.

A project participating in an IEO, is not a good ground that the bounty will succeed. This might bring different outcomes. For instance, if the IEO succeeds, it is not a guarantee that your reward will be paid and sometimes it might be delayed until the price has dumped. So of what use is such bounty, if o can't sell at reasonable price.
A bounty that cannot give me at least $100 at the initial stage, except I decide to hold, is not a good bounty.

I agree with those. but no matter how well we do our own research, it is not possible to avoid fraud. we can only reduce the risk.

sometimes in the future terms  we are from DOGEM developer to works on extensive as managing plan on buonty campaign tasks of completion. for use with reference of service of online communication application to release with offers within the field of business in domestic locale of indonesia.
please do not pro claim the business as the name and works on design is our belonging of possession and authorization.
we never sold the project to/for foreign investors and received of funds notification to our banking system.

I think it's necessary because if you don't check it, maybe you will be like me, last I tried to follow the bounty blink (blockmason) on the platform (bhive) and I think the project will reach ieo prices at the beginning but when traded the price is not as expected and falls in the price of $ 0.001x it means more than 5x decreases in rate ieo, so I recommend doing research

We can use those Criteria but when it comes to reality, that is not a guaranty that those projects who passed these criteria can be considered legit and will have successful crowdfunding and become a successful coin in a long term, there were a lot of cases where the project failed to deliver and just vanished

We live in an amazing time, now even projects that, when studied, seem to be unpromising ultimately can bring much more profit than a promising project.

yes, none of this is certain. we have tried to find the best but luck is the final door to determine the results we will get. the most important thing is to keep improving our skills so that we can choose the best from what is available for us to follow.

I think the best way is to look for bounties on such forums like Bitcointalk

BTW, I have found the bounty where I am in now here

Check it out.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5156163

The points you raised are quite interesting and of great importance but it can never guarantee how successful a project will be. We have seen projects with renowned team and all you mentioned above but still failed and went away with investors money.

Those points are really good, what I do most times in any bounty project I join is first finding out the team behind the project,really essential,then I check out the use case and the activeness of their social handle,with these I can consider doing the bounty, not forgetting, the allocation for bounty.

I would focus more on whitepaper and Roadmap. Looks can be deceptive.

If you can't identify a good project from whitepaper, then you need to spend more time learning what Cryptocurrency is all about.

Your criteria for good project is the least thing I would consider when choosing a good project.

Every characteristic you've listed here are good ways to know if a bounty would be worth spending time and energy on, they cannot guarantee if they project will succeed, though. But these are good steps to start with.

I am choosing ICOs and bounty campaigns based on hype. If there is a hype, then it is highly possible that there will be also hype after exchange lisitng and someone will buy my earned or bought tokens.  :)

Scammers nowadays are really good on masking their projects as legit but at the end the are not. There are ways to recognize scam project and one of them is determining the use-case of such. If it has a use-case then there is a high probability that it is not a scam but still not a guarantee though.

For me, knowing that these five things become things that we must know before we join in a bounty project, and this is enough to decide on this good bounty or even a scam. besides those five things, there are also those who say we can find out about a scam project or not by looking at the project TIM photo, if the photo is edited in terms of face it can be sure the project is a scam.

However, even the perfect skills will not help you determine the project that will become the new Google or Amazon in the crypto world

we don't know what the future will be like. what we know is trying to find the best for us to follow. also open you like that? looking for who pays you, doesn't promote a project scam right?

Perfect points to really work with in spotting out reliable projects in campaigns, it is very easy to work with the whole five except the first one, some team proves to stubborn when you are trying to run a check on them to ensure that they are real, it is either they are feeling too big to respond to your questions, or they are not real at all. Several times, I have tried to contact some project team directly to really affirm their relationship with any project that list them in their whitepaper, but they often do not respond to mails.

The ones you manage to get their mobile contact would not also attend to you properly, because what some scam projects does is to use the picture of a quality person as team and then use the personality to deceive people into believing that the project does have solid team, and expect you are able to confirm their relationship directly with the project before you can ascertain if the project is real or not.

Maybe you could do additional tasks to further verify the integrity of the project - this includes but not limited to the following:

6. Check the project's Github activity and its development activity (if the team gives regular updates about the project)
7. Request for an AMA session with the team so that the community can ask relevant technical questions and see if they have technical ideas about   the project?
8. Have the project's code / smart contracts peer reviewed by qualified professionals

If any of this tasks didn't convince so, I guess the project has high possibility of being a scam. Imho.

Even if all check marks are achieved their is still no guaranty that the project will be succeed in the long run, specially if you would want to support the project even after the ICO.

You should also consider the following:
- If the project has real use in the real world and not just promises.
- Project should be moving according to the road map and is developing, after the ICO is finished if you intend to support it in the long run.

Exactly mate and even scammers now are great on this thing,they can hide their motives and intentions in truthful way that even old timers in crypto can be lured to invest but in the end scam is what they got

There are some project that had reached hard capitalization but runs with the investors money and bounty hunters as well..

So the thing is there must be luck as well when we invest in this cruel community sometimes

Yeah it's standard. I usually do that before choose and join bounty  for me what's important is team, partnership, total token issued, price per token, and if they doing ieo, on which exchange they gonna do that

It is advisable to make an intensive research on any project before you start participating in it. The reason is because there are many bounty projects flying around now without any future prospect and product value.They tend to attract many investors through various means but with the aim to scam people. It is good for you to do your findings property based on what you have highlighted so that you won't run into losses at the end. In your findings, try to also find out about the future plans of such projects through their roadmap. It does not matter how long it will take you to get your facts, do not hesitate to do so in order not to waste your time and resources on unproductive projects.

5 of these can be a benchmark for seeing a good bounty, but in my opinion the biggest guarantee is an experienced team and the purpose of launching the token in exchange. if they have an experienced team then the possibility of scam is very minimal, because of course they will maintain their reputation in building cryptocurrency.

This time the most important thing I think is that you have to check which VCs (Venture Capital) have invested in it, a project that will be very difficult to operate and raised fund in this market condition, without the prefund from these VCs.

Now it is very difficult to find a worthy project, even if you follow 5 tips. Scammers are now deftly fake real projects.

Check the team not only for real accounts, but also for projects in which they participated earlier. Often, seemingly legitimate projects are conducted by highly dubious individuals.

What about actual substance? Like a functional website that is more then just a landing page that looks fancy. What service do they provide? IF they have nothing to show for their claims then don't follow their project.
If they do nothing about their plans for a long time without any good reason then stop supporting them, they also like to extend the bounty which is abusive I think.

Check the rank of participant (in thread &Spreadsheet )- If there has a good number, Senior & legendary rank holder, it supposed to be a legit campign

don't forget to analyze the product. projects that already have a working product I feel are more promising, especially already in further development. its use in real life also increases public confidence in building a market network.

These are good but I don't understand what people often miss the importance of Tokenomics which involved the team allocation as well. It is as important as the various factors or points listed above to verify project potential

I think the context should not be if a bounty is worthy or not, it should be whether the project worth investing into or. If it is worth investing into, then doing the bounty will no be a waste of time.
Just like investors invest their resources in the projects, bounty hunters invest their time.

Nice. This is good for checking bounties. If the bounty project is a scam, even though we have checked the team, the concept and others remain a scam. But in my opinion, we have tried our best to complain from reality.

When you want to either investing or promoting some project, you need to ensure that the project is real.
I think you need to take attention on point no.4, the Media Press.
Usually, the legit project won't afraid to reveal who they are, and post their photos and activities in media.

finding something like that is very difficult. even now when I join a campaign I don't pay attention to it all. I just speculated and complained about my luck. if lucky, I believe fortune will not be misplaced.

Your opinion is correct however some can determine whether the bounty campaign is a scam or not. As what you have said, check team first, and that's a good sighthing that every newbie should know, we must check the team and staffs if they already known for fraud projects and scams, simply you can report them right away and leave their project.

I think it's hard to find a good quality bounty project. Because projects spend their advertising costs to pay for reputable exchanges to get IEO on those reputable platforms. And my experience of choosing a good project is to evaluate the project team and the reputation of the bounty campaign manager.

As a beginner, you are already good. Team, Concept, Partnership, Media Press, IEO these things are the keys to minimize the risk of being a victim of scam bounty. Media Press is important an active team is good, it serves as evidence that they are serious and not a fraud because they are not afraid to show on public and it gives them marketing exposure too.

You have said right. At present, the good project has become much less. Work of Bounty Hunter. It seems to be done without any hard work. Therefore, it should be well looked after. If you do not have the possibility of receiving the payment.

especially partnerships with platforms or exchange companies, it will create added value for projects that we can follow. no less important, also pay attention to their products, if not already there, at least they have published prototypes of products.

I don't understand what you want to know. Please formulate your question more clearly.

I cannot say its wrong, but even if you check their team, the concepts, partnership, media press, and IEO it can be done all by fake presentations. Because some are just revising it something like that. Even for the IEO the exchange must have a great volume in the market as well, due to it is an advantage actually. It's not because they have an exchange it is good of course not, what if the platform has a very low volume in the market, just like that.

Make sure their website is more then a one pager as well.


They are saying that not every project can be google or apple. Many are smaller. There too many people who promote scams and do too little research about them.

And also very importantly.... Check the visibility of the team. Do they attend Blockchain related Conferences? Do they take part in Hackatons? Are they focused on development rather their token price? These are some of the things I check as well.

Even they pass all of that 5 requirements you mentioned we can't still sure that we are on the right bounty. Most of the times even the bounty is legit and already list on exchanges we will be getting a low amount compared from what we expect and that's a fact!

Aside from the factors you mentioned on filtering a good bounty campaign, I always check the credibility of the bounty manager running the bounty campaign. I always join bounty campaigns of manager whom I have knowledge and idea about. There is bounty manager who has a concern with their bounty participants and does the extra mile by seeing to it that rewards are distributed to their participants..

1. Check Team - This is a good thing to do, first of all!
2. Check Concept - study the project and the product and their plans for the future!
3. Check Partnership - Bright to see this, if they have
4. Check Media Press - this is not possible many times, you rather check for their conventions to attend.
5. Check Sales IEO - the better the exchange the better the IEO.

quite important but without that it can actually just choose bounty, sometimes there are other factors that cause a scam such as the factor of the project team who refuses to pay reward bounties, and allocation cutters (often happens). but if without doing a check, of course I agree the opportunity to find a scam bounty is very there

you cannot judge a bounty or project to those list.. it depends in their team performance.. i have joined such bounties and even they raised a lot in their ico's but it turned out only to be a scam

From the clues you've given, although it's nice to do all those checks but one thing you should know is if they want to scam you they will do it very simple. They can have all these things very clear and resourcefull but still will be a fake probject and end up taking your money away and in turn you will have a useless coin in your wallet.

Part of what should happen between the team and investors or even bounty hunters is regular communication. You may not really know much about a project, until you ask questions of the knowledge you have of it. The team of some projects want it, so as to give out what is best. Let them know your concern and what you want, peradventure it will be part of their objectives.

I strongly agree if we have to review a number of factors before we take part in a bounty project ... right now there are many projects that are only promising but in reality they don't exist ... so we really need to study all aspects that have been planned and carried out by project developers ... and don't forget to see who is the bounty manager who manages the project ... because professional managers will choose quality projects ..

That's true this is very important, in fact, I have found one project that gets their team composition on Fiverr and Linked without them knowing each other, they are all from different countries and can't bound together because they do not know each other, this is something that investors need to look into it.

Maybe I will add:
1. Check the telegram community, active and real or not
2. Allocation of bounty tokens, total supply, and also the development of sales seen from transactions in his wallet
3. Bounty Manager
And of course, we continue to monitor the development of the bounty in this forum to know whether there is scam information or not.

To produce a good Bounty project, I think through that mechanism. Indeed when we have run some of those mechanisms still find a scam project. But by going through some stages to get a Bounty project, I was able to produce a good project. And the most important thing for me is never giving up.

they only serve to reduce the risk slightly. but these controls can never provide a definite solution. it is always good to check anyway. attempting a job without checking it can only waste time.

Yes we should check all these common points before start campaigning of any bounty but we can not say this would be consider as a guarantee of the project. Apart from these points I also check whitepaper to check the project vision or product still its quite hard to identify a good bounty.

The first thing to check is the prospect of the project and the bounty manager, Secondly the whitepaper of the project, very important. Hence is good to know this basic concept of the project as a beginner.   

u need to also consider taking the time to check their bounty program structure, you need to determine how much is their budget for a specific program you wish to join. Plus, make sure you know if it needs kyc or not. You dont wanna waste your time to something that you can't cliam later.

I think these points will help finding good bounties but not all. There are chances that we may not find correct information about team and partners. The cocept will really help to know the project better. If any existing technology is transforming to blockchain technology, some assurance will be there.
However, IEO sales will not help to identify good project because, the actual price will be determined only after complete development which may take more than a year.

It seems to be a good checklist to find good bounties but I suggest just to focus on the team, concepts, sales. That would be a basis to evaluate that this certain project will be recognized in the market as well as to the investors. It is important to know that the future of a certain project will be between us(community) and to its developers. Any absence of these two things, it will surely be going nowhere.

even now many successful project bounties are from projects that provide small allocations for bounty hunters. they have good developers. therefore they have thought about how bounty allocation is well.

That points are really good mate, what I do most times in any bounty project before I join is, first finding out the team behind the project, really essential, And then I check out the use case and the activeness of their social handle,with these I will consider doing the bounty, and not forgetting the allocation in it.

prospects are indeed very important compared to allocations, but both of them really need to be very concerned before joining the bounty campaign. so when you want to analyze a project, you have to understand the sequence when analyzing, I personally always start by looking at the part of the team, the prospects for the project are then followed by further analysis. in terms of analysis you must be careful

yes it can reduce the risk of getting a scam project 5 things that must be checked above are very good to check before supporting a project so you must be careful when checking the 5 things above

the problem is that everyone only talks about these 5 things that need to be checked, but in fact only a few people really doing that. people are very lazy

I think the points mentioned by the op are only benchmarks because some of the points mentioned have not guaranteed the success of the project in the future. even today many projects have trusted teams, but if the project does not have the interest of many investors, the project can fail in the middle of the road and cannot pay participants participating in it.

And still if you check everything you can invest into scam.
Even Binance listing doesn´t mean anything. Investors are loosing money due to market conditions and there is nothing that can overbeat this market sentiment.  :'(

If you only focus on the team, concepts and sales, I think even scammers can manipulate it. In my opinion the points given by the OP are correct, and I myself am based on those 5 points. If it's only based on the 3 points you mentioned, I don't think it's safe enough, especially partnerships, scammers won't have good partnerships with big companies.

I have been in crypto for over a year now and I can say that there is no guaranteed means of finding a good bounty. All the factors that you stated above are good to consider but they can also be manipulated by scammers. But it is better to do your due diligence and hope the rest turns out well.

The outlined points are still very much good but for me what I first look out for is the white paper, I try to find out the use case, then I check the team behind the project, and then their social media handles, if I am convinced, I enroll but before enrolling, I check the bounty reward allocation  and the duration of the bounty .

It's important to know the basics of finding a good ICO and IEO project. And you also have to choose a Bounty manager who has a good track record. The project should have a good concept and a real product. Do not be tempted by projects with large allocation because not necessarily this project is real.

My opinion above 5 is very true and very helpful for beginners finding the project. Scams are very scary because they want to make money without having to work hard. However, there are currently IEO projects already in the store. So it will be easier to check the sale of coins.

All the criteria you have listed is really good but you still cannot know intention of a project dev until the campaign ended. From my experience, irrespective whether the project is great or maybe the team is fantastic. Most dev do not like bounty hunters. They maybe cajoling you during the campaign but as soon as the time reach for them to pay the tokens, that is when you will know the real attitude of many of them. Participating is campaign successfully this days is mere a luck to me.

Team is very important, because a project will gone, scam or not is depends on their team member my friend

that's the fact. many things that are unthinkable. when all criteria are met, suddenly the bounty hunter allocation is cut or not even distributed after all this time. so, be prepared to accept risks that we don't expect, and let luck give us hope.

everything is important in the aggregate, and even more important is intuition. For it is possible to check both the team and the whitepaper and even the attitude of the team, but if it was intended to deceive, it would not be revealed. So the risk remains.

Bounty managers are being paid to do the work of advertising (campaign/bounties).
There are some good managers before adn green trusted but still was a victim of scammed ICO.
And that is the erason why some BM have red trsut now.

What you listed above is a good including studying the Whitpaper extensively and Social media activities. Sometimes one will check all these stuffs and yet the project will turn out bad, it's just a thing of chance.

You made a very good point but will also include team experience  but even as such you can see project that is very perfect in the criteria you listed above but they still tend not to make it. What I normally do is to join projects that are already listed and trading ar a very good price and as such I know what am going into

You are very right. Everyone should check these 5 terms to select a good bounty campaign! Stong partnership and big press release like Forbes, Nasdaq, Yahoo Finance, CCN, Cointelegraph press would be great! Personally, I only check the partnership and the press release.

By checking that it is enough, maybe you can also check the project manager's bounty first. And of all that might only produce 50% of the value so the rest is dependent on our luck whether the project is good or turns the direction into a scam

Checking all that you listed is very essential in knowing the kind of Bounty one will participate in. The main thing is the genuine of the project. You might see a bounty that the team is anonymous and decide to stay away, meanwhile that bounty will the best. It happens. Checking the genuiness of the project and what it sets out to achieve is the first step in knowing the success of the bounty.

very true ... we need to examine these 5 factors ... because it greatly affects the success rate of a project that is launched so that campaign participants are not disappointed at the end of the campaign bounty session ... then we really need to know a lot of things before we follow a project bounty campaign ...

Checking with the five steps mentioned above is very good for avoiding fake projects so as to avoid fraud but I prefer to follow the bounty that has been registered in the exchange market that makes enthusiasm and earnest when working

I participated in several bounty campaigns which was already at the coinmarket and were traded on the exchanges but received payment from only from two. the rest was just dead after bounty

I check WP, team, twitter follower count and WHOIS. It's enough almost for all projects but some of this scammed after ICO or won't pay Bounty rewards.

If run now bounty only have checked the bounty of managers , as a lot of divorce in the bounty and it is better not to wait for a big payout in this type of earnings!

There  still those who succeed in getting paid, checking can reduce projects that are worse than not checking at all and not all projects that pass the examination tests are profitable there must be bad ones

Of all the points you say are true. But for the beginning, I focused more on points 1-3. Because with that alone I think it can determine whether or not to participate in the bounty. That was my choice when I wanted to find a good bounty project.

The points mentioned are really good, but the chances of being scammed are very high right now because the projects right now are being started by many noobs who just try to scam other people. Manager’s background is very important for me because it is his reputation that is on the line.
I was once involved in a project; then after some time, it had to shut down saying that the central system had some so-called technical difficulties and wasn’t heard from them ever again. People lost their investments and were badly scammed.  Nowadays, this scamming has been increasing a lot.

I understand how'd you fell but mostly bounties have succeeded just because of its good looking concept and investors look into this cause it will be their basis. But I don't think they'll be scamming, only they'll never achieve their targets causing them to turn into an exit scam.

I've experienced like this, it hards to believe but however, we can say that success isn't in the hands alone but of course, its from the community.

Even with good team, white paper, Tokenmerics and all sort, any projects don't just have the adequacy to run a bounty yet would, only to get the exposure and then pay up hunters with shitbags.

For more comments with you, you can check out more communities on telegram, check website traffic. Anyway, thank you for your 5 things. That's 5 pretty basic things to check out a good bounty.

Sometimes, even how good the project is it end up on nothing. Though rewards are distributed, there is chance that it wont listed on the exchange. Be updated all the time about the project to ensure that you are not wasting your effort to support when it is already stops and fail.

That is right bounty for these days will prompts your dissapointed task and your works are pointless. In ready to check the best bounty in can be fortunate whether the venture are suspected trick will lead you to a decent task. As long you have endeavors and persistence in joining distinctive bounty isn't an issue it will give you soon a decent rewards on it

I always check their social media, there I can find their activities every week.
if they are not actively giving updates, or giving announcements I think their project has stopped.

You can also check the originality of the project site.
A big plus is the presence of a repository on GitHub (but, of course, not empty, but with developments on the product).

Maybe it can be added to the bounty manager too, it's clear what you are doing is the best step you can possibly take before you fall into a bounty scam. seeing from my experience, we have been selectively doing it according to procedure, but ultimately it all depends on fate also determines that we are not deceived by fake bounties.

With how they gave updates from their social medias channels also gives supporters updates in terms to the progress of their project, if they do have active communities then it's also another factors to follow the team, though it's not that much since there's also fake people or team who can manipulates the this particular information better to check and research properly.

Scammers occur because of the intention of the offender to do so. Sometimes there is a project that the team is not verified can also work well. I have been in this forum for a long time, and have participated in many project campaigns here. But only 30% of the projects were truly successful. The success I mean is that they run the project as planned. Not only listing tokens or coins in exchange.

The best indicator is the presence of a good and experienced team. Initially, it is necessary to check it for their experience, perfect projects and other achievements. It is the team that is most important for each project.

Even perfect - looking projects can be scams, and vice versa were projects that throughout the bounty company looked like a typical scam, but as a result good paid and went to exchange.

That's a good criteria to choose a good bounty but it doesn't guarantee that it will be a successful one especially if it's still doing an ICO instead of IEO. I will give some advice based on my experienced, choose a reputable bounty manager which you can see their trust scores on their profile, it's not an assurance but the chance if getting paid on bounties is high.

That is a good criterion and I consider it in finding one, I've joined one and it looks promising but let's not forget about the market movement, it really affects the project, some can't even start the selling in the market/exchange since they can't climb up from the loses of the investment value.
