Hi everyone,

I am curious how you are choosing in which bounty campaigns you are participating in?
To my understanding there are 5-10 new bounty campaigns launched everyday, so that bounty hunters have a lot options to pick from.
In another thread I already saw that the duration of the campaign is important.
But what are the other factors?
How do you choose?

Hi HiveNet.
Before joining in any bounty program, you should take time so review their project or ask someone have many experience on reviewing to ask about that. Our target is earning profit so we need to choose the best bounty program to join in. There are many way to earn now, but I prefer join in signature bounty. But if you want to earn from many bounty program, you can join in content and sharing bounty. And remember, choose the bounty which have much reputation to join in.

Quality of the project is more important, before join the campaign you must read and review the project. So you will avoid scam projects and get a paymet for your work.

I'm just joining signature campaign that pays bitcoin. But I think the perspective of a bounty hunter with regards to this matter.
Having a known and reputable bounty manager really counts a lot. If you have a very hard working manager and known to the community, they would choose the best project to manage and dispose the potential scam projects.

First of all, do your own research about that project before you start that bounty. Because there is so many scam project. Then you have to check out their project, team, future updates etc. The next thing is the allocation and participants. Because the rewards will depend on the allocation and participants.

I have not participated in any bounty for quite a long time but if I am to sign up again I would look for campaigns that does not have the "bounty manager or ICO team can change the rule anytime" or those who have escrows, or maybe campaigns by most reputable managers.

When it comes to bounty i'm only interested in projects that have a real life working product or project from companies that have been around for years,choosing this type of bounty projects you will have low to none disappointment

5-10 bounty daily? maybe not that i noticed. even when the market was booming we rarely have such a high range daily. The limited bounty is the reason for indecisiveness in choice of campaign. You can participate in as many social campaign bounty as you can but signature campaign is limited to every one, one campaign at a time. The signature campaign demands more research for choice

Besides looking at the duration of the bounty, I also saw the team and the amount of coin allocation they gave to the bounty and the purpose of their listing to go to, and usually it was written on the road map, so we must read the road map first before participating in a bounty.

It is getting harder and harder to find the right campaign. In order to avoid fraud projects I am trying to take part in bounties that already reached their softcap/ are launching an IEO on a big exchange and have a working product.

I will answer your question honestly. I will always look at the salary offer and if the salary is realistic becauae all we know that there are lot of scam now that pretending that they are good campaign and at the end this will fall into scam moment.  And I think all of us will look it because the real purpose of bounty hunting is to earn profit and not to waste time.

I only choose bounties that are being implemented for IEO or about to implement the IEO in the future. Because those projects will certainly be successful and listed in exchange

There are many threads of similar questions like this that I found here. I do not know, whether I should always repeat my answer or not, but here I will give some references to you. Here are similar threads and their reference tips:

4. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2914187.0

And here are the famous bounty managers that you can choose and consider :

The other factors may be the team, the development progress, the possibility to create a partnership with exchange site and the last should be the community and this is a very important part. The majority of successful bounties were having big communities behind the project and this creates a good fundamental.

Budget bounty, that's what I'm interested in participating in any bounty here. I never participate in bounty with too low budget and many people participate. That will take me a long time and get very little money

take your time to do reviews on bounties because many bounties are been released daily and many of them are just meaningless so find yourself a meaningful bounty that has something good and new to offer crypto world

I'm checking the bounty manager first. Then I do a research on the team members of the project. Then I try to read the whitepaper of the project. Finally, I am reading the comments about the project. If I'm positive about this project at the end of my research, then I'm participating in that bounty campaign. These researches may take some time, but also these researches helping me to learn more info about the crypto world and helping me to find good campaigns.

Well, One of the very good things you have wanted to know is that I share what I do always when I join a bounty project or signature project. Of course, the roadmap of that project is working on the project, and the project's product, the project's partnership, the project's plan also matter in good project. The most important, Who is the Team Member, I select a project based on how everything is working.

Every day many bounties are launched on this forum, but I always choose the best so the work is not in vain, the criteria for choosing bounty in my opinion,

Check the team
See the sales, I prefer IEO
Look at the products they offer
Real team meetings and cooperation
Continue the concept that they designed going forward

Find out a project which has something new to offer. Check team's linkedin profile and check their authenticity.

PS- There's hundreds of threads regarding this. Use search and get the thread. Creating repetitive thread isn't good for the forum.

But the budget didn't give you a lot of guarantees if the project will succeed.
I just take the ICO or IEO progress to determine the success of the project itself. Sometimes a bounty with low budget can become a lot of money because it has a very good development and then the big bounty worth nothing compared with it. it's not a good indicator.

yes indeed the duration of the campaign is very important for prize hunters, the longer the duration of the campaign implemented then the fewer gift hunters join. because prize hunters only choose campaigns that have a fast completion duration. other than that another consideration is having a clear direction in the project and the team developing the project.

Like some experienced hunters have advised, choose your bounties as if you were an investor. No one wants to work and end up with peanuts or nothing at all. Before joining, read about the project. Calculate the rewards and estimate how much it is worth. Ask questions in the specified telegram groups to have a comprehensive idea of what you want to work on

I saw the concept of the project and also the team that managed it, and for its duration it was also important. if the bounty is too long I am reluctant to follow it. maybe the allocation of the number of tokens shared must also be seen. many aspects that I have seen. but the risks also exist. we cannot predict with certainty the success of a bounty that we follow.

After joining a lot of bounties and being scammed, I think the safest way is choosing the campaign which pay by cash, and have Escrow. It is the only way to ensure that you will receive real cash after the campaign.

There are a couple of factors, but the two big ones for me from the start are no KYC and if they pay out either tokens or ETH/BTC on a set schedule. There are a number of campaigns that decide to pack it in early and vanish or decide at the end they didn't get the expected funding, and then they don't pay out to the bounty people. So ideally try to find campaigns where you know you'll at least get something no matter what.

It's better that from the start you already knew the value of bounty rewards, if you have the ideas you will be willingly followed and support the campaign, there's a lots of bounties where scamming are happening but when you already have a good idea about the possible compensations or if there's an allocated funds it's better than to wait to those promises which mostly not happening.

Choosing a prize campaign must do a lot of research, including researching team members, whether real or fake.  Reading Whitepapper and reviewing it, the allocation of gifts is also very important to me.  we have to check all their websites, old or new, then what is the response of the community to the Bounty project that we will follow, if positive we continue if our negative stops, look for others.

If we are students and have a final exam, before the event of course we need to prepare ourselves in terms of review, and for us to do that we need to spend time, effort to feed ourselves in knowledge and idea so that we have reason for us to answer those question. Same goes in choosing good bounty, know the background of the projects, whitepaper, team, owner and the concepts if it is realistic or not, check the BM reputation, if it is IEO good, how long it will run? if will run more than 4 months don't join, no definite exact date when will it end something like that.

duration is important but besides duration there is something more important that is the future of the project being followed. and of course the issue of the value of a token or coin project is it feasible? , if I'm currently only looking for tokens that already have a market because I'm lazy to follow a project that is still looking for funds because most of the fate is not very clear after they raise funds.

Thank you all very much for your valuable answers.
They helped me a lot to better understand what is important for a good bounty campaign.  :)

I personally choose bounty campaign by looking :

1. the duration of bounty campaign (I usually choose bounty campaign that has a short duration)
2. I prefer to choose bounty campaign that has reached softcap
3. I prefer to participate in bounty campaign with a small number of bounty hunters
4. I see the allocation provided from bounty campaign (at least 1% of total sales and 20% for signature campaign allocation)
5. the manager of bounty campaign always updates stake every week

Obviously these are the best ways for us to find a good campaign. I am like you, I often search for bounty by your requirements but it is difficult for us to find such a good campaign this year.

in choosing a project that we choose, we should check everything like the team in the project, is that clear, then the benefits, how the project works, and others need to be checked as well. because a project must be clear.

Firs of all you should read project A to Z. Then you can get idea about it and how you can join that bounty campaign. Most important thing is, you can identify that campaigns are scam or not.

I’m conducting a study in which I pay attention to the development team, the duration of the campaign, the amount of remuneration, and the product that the project offers.

Honestly, I don't really care about bounty managers. It is because usually some of famous bounty managers, only manage a campaign with low budget - means even it's good, you will earn low rewards. I prefer to look deep into the project to find whether it's worth to join or not, it's more comfortable for me and I don't need to blame others if a project fails.

I research the project team on the internet because there are too many fake team members. I also do research on the reality of the project

The place of careful selection of which bounty campaign to participate in is so paramount so that one will not engage in vain activities at the end of the day. There are so many factors to consider before choosing bounty campaigns. The consideration of the factors vary for different people interms of their choice. As far as am concerned, before I go ahead to choose any campaign at all,  I always consider the road map of the project, the product development plan, the value of the coin and as well as the integrity of the team members handling the project.

I choose, first of all, not the bounty campaign, but the project that conducts it. I also make sure that the campaign does not last too long, because a long campaign is a great chance that you will not be paid. Also during this time you can skip a lot of good bounty campaigns.

I consider the team, ehind the project and its utility. I also look at how other projects in the niche is doing to know what exactly the new project is bringing that's lacking in the already existing projects.

First of all, I will see if that bounty campaigns gain much participants instead of just having 10 - 20 only active members because maybe it's indicated that it would be those scam campaigns. Or just sign up to those campaigns that managed by top managers, because those managers are making sure that they manage legit projects.

Basically, there are three things I lool out for which are firstly, team make up and partnerships has to be standard. Secondly, Tokenomics (distribution and allocation) is very important. I don't want many tokens in circulation and Thirdly, product quality and relevance to blockchain

Choosing a particular type of bounty to participate in is the best decision to decide on and more important than just promoting projects that may one day end up as scam projects which is a waste of time and resources. First I do a thorough research on the project, the team and advisors behind the project and how their customer support i relevant to them.

Team integrity and expertise, project uniqueness, exchange partnership, project white paper and website,then I consider the budget allocation for the bounty  in comparison to total amount amount raise so far

This is a fairly effective way, especially if there are compatible accounts that are experienced in terms of choosing a promising bounty. Besides that, I usually calculate the allocation with the length of the bounty period. I also analyze projects, products from projects that are ready in the market and use cases are usually more interesting.

I usually choose bounty campaign that has many news about it.
Just go into their social media channel like Telegram or twitter, and see whether the admin is active or not.
The important thing is you must know the project itself is scam or not.

Another thing to consider is also how the bounty is being presented like having clear set of rules. There are some bounty threads that even some of the experienced managers don't proof read at all. There are contradicting rules which leaves hunters clueless as to which one to follow. This is not usually discussed in bounty threads but I think it is also a good indication of how the campaign is being managed.

I always looking for their product what they make on their project first before starting to promote. Also. I always looking for their bounty duration, I don't want to participate bounty with the duration of more than 3 months...

As you know there are various bounties coming every day and also running bounties but you should choose that bounty that has worth and quantity of reward should be more, timing is also important. 

Of course you have to evaluate the project from all sides that you consider important for future success. But in choosing a bounty campaign is not the last place is just luck. I think so.

I am looking for short-term bounty campaigns ,one-two month ,mo more .I am sure if the project is good and interesting for investors it shouldn't last too long to collect soft or hard cap.

Who is managing the campaign can be another important factor while you choosing the bounty to be participated because reputed manager pick the best of projects available and you might have to avoid the bounties run by newbies since they don't hae any risk even if they scam us.

I used to take a lot of companies and worked a lot in social networks, then came the experience of deception and fraud. Now I get acquainted with administrators, I pay attention to their adequacy and of course the product of the company, team, white paper , road map. But the ratings on all well-known sites bought , I do not believe them.

for the duration I think it depends because this point can determine the income of tokens for example the duration of more than 6 weeks if we do the task and many other participants who do not do the automatic tokens obtained will be very much and also if lucky a bounty that offers a long duration can generate thousands of dollars, but it is not easy at the moment to find a bounty with a long duration of quality, and for a bounty with a short duration now many are filled by ieo projects and most are quite interesting only the rewards offered can be said to be small. and at this time I chose a bounty of short duration even though the reward was small but this was clearer.

several other factors before choosing a project is to first look at their concept and also the background of the project team. every day there are always projects but only a few of them might be good, I didn't mention them all because that won't guarantee you, including me. but what is certain is that you have to research the entire contents of the project that you want to follow.

the first one I will look at is the concept of the project, if the concept is interesting and potentially even innovative then I am interested and do the next stage of research on the project
the second one which in my opinion is no less important, namely seeing how many members of the telegram are from the official project because with the increasing number of members it can be interpreted that there are many people who are interested in the project including investors
and the third is to see who is working on the project, although there may be many new names but that doesn't matter because we can check their data on google
the last one is seeing how many prizes I might get, even though I don't know the exact amount but at least I can estimate whether it's worth it or not

To tell you the truth, it is not easy to know which bounty will turn out to be good or scam, yeah, don't get me wrong about the DYOR stuff and all other things some members posted above because i feel sometimes they are not a enough criteria to determine if the bounty will be good or not, so i usually conclude it to luck, because sometimes after doing all your little investigations project still end up becoming a scam and your effort go to waste.
So i guess you need both DYOR + Luck 8)

I personally prior to joining the project prioritize the concept and also the experience of the team in developing a previous project, if the team has a good reputation in managing the project ico most likely the project will also produce good results. for the duration I'm not too focused with that, how long the duration of the project goes as long as their team is great and their concept or road map is good I will certainly follow.

I agree that the duration of the campaign is very important if the project is good and investors can see that it has potential then a short duration is enough to get funded.

the composition of the team is very important too, they should be real people and real experts in their field, not photoshopped or fake account coming from LinkedIn, Linkedin is very notorious so many fake people with fake credentials.

The project should have a unique concept not a copy of the existing or past projects, and it should have a potential in the market, so many projects cannot keep up because they failed to generate support, because the market that they want to target is not sustainable.

well this is right for me, because I plan to take part in the bounty campaign later and I have observed that the bitwings project they offer is very good, their team is also strong, plus there are many participants who join too. how about you guys, is my plan right?

I am very picky now.
2018 was a lesson learned from many hunters and even to investors.
I am looking now to those who are in IEO and having their softcap reached.
This will provide assurance for good payment for the future end work!

The price doesn't mean a lot and i tell you about the old bounty like pundi and it's not putting a lot of prizes but the participants are getting a lot of the money caused by it was doing very good job on its development progress and i can say that the result of your effort will depend on how the developer will be doing its progress or the result of its progress.

I always check the website and if it looks like every other ICO website and provides nothing but a platform to collect funds then already Flags are up. If they just have the bounty thread and Ann and that website and some social media it isn't good enough since every project does that. Their website needs to look different and function differently from others to stand out or otherwise it just a project that has been copied. Most projects already share the same template for their Ann threads and Bounty thread, if they also share the same website design then it looks just like a copy-paste project.

Sometimes it's best to go for projects that takes a short term and pays decently, that way you can finish it up quickly and then focus on other projects as well… than long term projects that will waste your time and at the end will make no single sense. And before you decide on which project to join you should try to read everything about it and also ask some questions if there is something you don't get about it.

Tip: go for bounties with less participants, so there wouldn't be much competition, that way you earn bigger .

For me, this is also a private matter. If the Bounty manager is a well-known and trusted person, he will never spoil his reputation scamming people. This is the main criteria for making this choice. The type of Bounty activity means a lot also. Sometimes, it is more profitable to deal with one difficult well-paid task than with several cheap but easy ones.

Regarding the duration of the campaign, each participant has a different answer. But it is important. In my opinion, the more important factor of the duration of the campaign is the team. The duration has something to do with the roadmap.

I understand the suggestions of checking through the whitepaper and sorts
But the easiest way to find a profitable bounty is by looking at 2 places

1. Look at the bounty thread and discover the bounty allocation versus the total supply
2. Secondly; go to the project telegram group; every answers are there.

3. Neglect whitepaper, neglect partnership; true details lie in the chat group of the project

I choose bounty campaigns that are already on exchange. Secondly, I choose those with a working product hence the project will always be alive. I also check those with a higher bounty allocation and a shorter time frame, mostly less than two months.

I am writing down 20 campaigns that were posted on Bitcointalk during the week just from bounty description. Than I am visiting their websites and after looking at them I am sorting 10 campaigns out. The next step is the whitepaper and after looking at them, you usually have 2 campaigns left, which are great.

In past it was not so difficult because many quality campaigns were there but things have changed now. So we have to be extremely selective. I only prefer participating in Airdrop/Bounty Campaign (https://cryptolinks.com/airdrops) that have good listing on top sites. I will not really just prefer them opening a thread and that’s all. The reason is that a lot of campaign are 2-3 months, and I just don’t want to lose that time for something I am not sure about it’s just too risky.

This topic is too old, there have been many articles related to: "how to find good bonuses". And there were many good ideas.
I suggest you close this topic and search for forum posts again. Don't post an old news like this.

before picking up the bounty i see their official telegram grop first see the discussion of the members there if there is a lot of discussion about the project, the possibility of the project will be successful, then i see what products they offer, see as bitwings they make a real project making smartphone using this blockchain, one of the projects that I think will be successful.

As there are 5 to 10 new campaigns coming up every day, same way we have 5 to 10 projects that are also exiting the industry every day, either as a result of collapse, lack of meeting their cap or scam. So it become necessary to really take note of what we must use to know that its project will be successful before promoting them is to basically look at their paper plan, and see what they are promoting.

From our own point of view, we must first be convinced that the project will be accepted and used, if you are not convinced, then  don’t invest because if a coin will not be useful in future, it will only be a pump and dump coin, secondly you have to study about the team, check their history and see if they are not lazy team that will abandon the project along the line.

Review the project if it is a quality one then if the team are active both in developments and communication. I also consider the bounty manager because if it's a reputable and trusted one, the more likely that the project will succeed and bounties will be paid.

Choose and review the project is the most important things before joining the Bounty Campaigns for any project, I prefer to join the project's bounty whose tokens have been listed in the exchange, I prefer project's bounty which using the IEO system, Also there are sites giving you ratings for the upcoming bounty, You should check those sites and make your own review about the project team and their experience in the success of the project and the products offered by the project and the success rate of the project with its link to the blockchain technology.

I used to analyze the team members + advisors. To understanding this area you should also develop sheet to evaluate their ICO advisors beside its team, analyzing its ability to pay for promoting the project ...There are also some sub-criteria such as: Evaluate the field in which the project operates, evaluate the difference between soft and hardcap ...

Nowadays I only participate in campaign that pays btc weekly, its more reliable to earn surely and because of my past experiences in failed bounty project I refrain myself from joining.

If you're going to participate in bounties make sure to research about the project. The team, site, whitepaper, roadmap, and take time reading some reviews. Choose a reputed manager who manage the campaign because its likely a good one since reputed manager wont risk their account to manage a scam project.

I prefer to follow a good bounty manager rather than having to bother analyzing a new project. Most new projects have a good whitepaper but many are scam, this happens in 2018. A good bounty manager will certainly do research and also survey about projects that will be handled because his reputation does not want to be damaged

I often choose bounty campaigns to participate based on their bounty pool, development team, and the campaign's project goals. Those are the things I often care about to decide  to participate in that campaign or not. I think there will be many other ways, but for me it's the basics to know if that campaign has potential

There is such a site as https://icodrops.com/, on it you can find a good project with a bounty campaign. I usually look for bounty campaigns on this site. Of course, this does not give any guarantees, but I trust this site most of all.

Today I choose only those projects that have financial support of institutions. And also a prerequisite is the prospects of the project in the future.

Just look at what the project brings on board and how that fit into the society. The realistic value of the project and the development process. Never get overwhelmed with the bounty pool.

I follow the bounty manager and the development and communication of the team rather than the bounty campaigns because they may look genuine especially their white paper but may be scam. That's how I choose bounty campaign to participate in.

 product is very important to make sure we want to join or not besides see them in the road map, because some of the projects I see don't have detailed road maps and see the teams in the project

The team of the project is usually top of my priority. How they handle the project is of utmost importance to me. If the project has a trusted, reputable, industrious and professional team, then there is nothing to fear.
Anybody can come up with with a good whitepaper, yet the project might not succeed.

There are some ways to find out which bounty campaigns we should choice for participation. Before participation, should need to read announcement, it helps a lot to know about bounty campaigns quality, team members info, their Roadmap & many more about that project. Besides check review & bounty manager,, also important for bounty campaigns for participating in

i choose to be a wiser guy when it comes to participating bounties by investigating and look for better information about the project like IEO or ICO sales is going pretty well and checking the team and its community if its alive and kicking . Checking every piece of information about the project is worth it so that participating on that bounty will be not in vain when the bounty is finish

Hi, usually i will join the campaign that have active admins, we can see in their channel or group.
i think bounty campaigns nowadays are not too profitable if we compare with campaigns in last 2 years.
There are some factors to think before join the campaign : whether the project legit or not, allocation reward, duration, requirements, and rules.

The strategy to choose which type of bounty program to join is similar to that of choosing which project or ICO to invest in. Performing extensive research on the project and the reputation of the bounty manager are key factors to consider.

this question is difficult to answer. there are different approaches for the selection.
i like to stick with well-known bounty managers and only look at the project in the second step.
oh such great marketing films and unknown bounty managers can promise the blue from the sky but in reality the evil awakens. :-X

Just like u choose coins to invest in. Is the team good, is the idea sound, is the tech good, etc 

There are several bounties launched daily, and every person has their opinion as regards the criteria for choosing a bounty program to join. Am more concerned about the duration of a project. I'm of the opinion that there's no perfect indication of a successful project. So I make my decision based on the reward and the timing of the bounty to avoid working too long for a project without gaining much.

Am of the opinion that choosing a project to participate in the bounty campaign should be considered carefully. I believe that the same due diligence that is required for making a financial commitment on a project should be undertaken before joining the bounty program to avoid issues of making looses as a result of failed project.

I don't spend too much time choosing Bounty. I just look at the bounty manager and investor of the project. If it meets my requirements, I will participate, but sometimes the bounty that I missed is very successful.

I think before joining you should see the WP of the project. Learn about the work team, project feasibility, and reliability of BM. Also check the project website. Those are the most basic reviews I can recommend to you.

Have a good day bro!!

before I choose a signature campaign, first look at the concepts they offer and also the background of the team. I'm sure everyone has different views, but I'm personally more confident with projects that have a transparent team and the products they offer are quality. aigopay is a promising project in my opinion personally
