After the failures of ico and the short progress of ico; it brings a sigh of fear into crypto currency.

Investors are smarter; and do not rush into tokens
 while bounty hunters are increased thus providing poor contents which leads to no reward

If we consider previously where projects raise 10m$ for just launching app unlike now where
Most Projects this year struggle to raise even 100$; and it looks like ieo/ico will die soon.

What will be the future of crypto currency?
Does it need regulation as stock and forex ? Or the sequence of struggle continues ?

Now there are news about a possible increase in bitcoin supply; is it healthy for the space ?

For hunters; soon; I doubt we will find worthy projects to promote



As this is my first post in altcoins; I hope I get a lot of suggestions to improve my knowledge likewise

After every failure, there is a success. Technology evolves and continue to grow, same as cryptocurrecy, it will survive even after these struggles, it might take a lot of time to recover, but it will indeed come in the right time.


I think its impossible to increase the supply of bitcoin, it was created with a limited supply, I dont think that they can increase it.

Right now ICO is no longer in demand by investors and prize hunters, and if for IEO I think there are still many who are interested, although some have failed, but most investors and prize hunters still trust IEO to this day, but for future IEO predictions whether it survives or not, I don't really know, what is clear is that until now IEO is still interested, and for the news about increasing bitcoin supply, I've never heard of it, did you read the news from reliable sources?

Where did you get this news? there will be no addition to the supply limit of bitcoin. It will always be at the limit of 21 million. Regardless of how many lost bitcoins in circulation, I've never heard of something like that. If there's a link that you can provide about this, give the link to us.
Bounty hunting is dying.

ICO and IEO are in worst period currently. Most of the ICO and IEO are not able to raise funds due to increased scams. Investors are not investing amount with the fear of losing money. Although scams are lesser in IEO but many IEOs are not doing good after completion and launching their token on an exchange. As projects are not performing well so bounty rewards are directly affected. I hope good times for crypto market will come sooner or later,investor will regain their confidence in crypto projects and there will be good inflow of money.

What do you mean by poor content? bounty managers won't pay bounty hunters that provides poor content works in the bounty campaign, the problem is scammers keep creating shit projects and bounty hunters keep promoting the projects for them to create awareness to investors

Here is the link below:

 https://news.bitcoin.com/proposal-to-increase-bitcoins-21-million-supply-sparks-debate/ (https://news.bitcoin.com/proposal-to-increase-bitcoins-21-million-supply-sparks-debate/)

If the failure or even death of ICO and IEO is the best way for crypto to get rid of all nonsense projects, so be it. It does not matter. What is important is that crypto is composed of quality projects. There are so many projects that attained success without even going through ICO. For a start-up to attract investors, they don't need to go through ICO or IEO. If their project is one of a kind, angel investors may not be hard to find. In fact, they will come to them first.   

The problem is bounty managers do not pay bounty hunters at all; or slash payments
Then allocate the problem to poor contents.

Shit projects don’t survive anymore; both hunters and investors are wisero

If you come to this forum as a bounty hunter, you're late, friend.
my view of crypto currencies will not change from the beginning and continue to believe crypto will continue to grow with the times.

according to statistics, participating in April 3 projects, not paid more than one. ICO and IEO can be said to have died. remained perhaps single projects which pay reward for work. those projects that pay the people there a very large kollichestvo and is not advantageous to participate

From where did you hear the news about BTC increasing its supply? I'd say that is impossible since it's only created to have 21million and the rule of supply and demand will what make it grow strong as we get near that figure.

Bounty hunters are definitely having a hard time now to find legit projects that will guarantee pay them. There are crypto rewards system (http://harmony.one/?utm_source=lx) that will be based on the votes of the community to evaluate each others efforts, in that way, we won't get screwed by whoever is the bounty manager checking our stakes. The future does look bright in crypto and we don't need to worry that much since we're still considered as early adopters, it will be fun to watch major enterprises to start incorporating crypto in the next years to come.

Whatever you said above, I appreciate your efforts and welcome  :D

regarding prize hunters and current ICO / IEO projects.
I would only say that the ICO project is almost dead and now investors have switched to the more profitable IEO project.

Where are you getting fake news that bitcoin will increase in supply? the max supply of bitcoin is 21million and there is no way to increase or reduce this max supply ever again, the halving part is all about decreasing its block mining rewards, nothing more or less

I disagree. Let's put the Binance IEOs aside. How many IEOs really created hype? How many of them have multiplied and multiplied its value?

5%? 10%? I do not think so.

Cryptocurrency has come to stay but might see some unexpected changes as the space develops. I dont know how regulation can come to the space but we need it to protect investors, prosecute scammers, control the use of raised fund and enforce the completion of road-map.
Bitcoin release is not just bulk release, it is daily as mining is done. Halving would reduce miner's reward and bitcoin supply.
Almost all projects still engage marketing and is even more expensive without bounty. Recently IEO projects offer bounties even with big exchnages but the reward are very low compared to previous years. However, one will appreciate a guaranteed reward than the failing ICOs' reward

Thanks, the article is correct about what will be the effect of this to the holders and investors. This is still a rumor and proposal but I don't think that they will take this seriously.
We don't need more of it and I think this will just result in another fork if the guy's request isn't given attention. Going back to your question about the bounty, you're right that looking for good projects is difficult these days.

Scams, filling up the ICO space and investors becoming smarters thesedays are actually parts of the main cause of unsuccessful crowdfunding. However, anyone who can filter out most of the bad ICO projects, can easily find good projects to invest in. I think the "filter out" can be done better on decentralized platforms.


Where did find the news on possible increase in Bitcoin supply? Share if you have it. I guess it is just a debate and no conclusion has been reached yet.

there is nothing bad with the fact that now it is difficult for projects to raise money through ICO / IEO. The altcoin market is now very difficult and that's why everyone faces difficulties. when the situation changes, the amount of money that new projects will collect also changes

I haven't heard of that news. Have you got that from a reliable source? I don't think its a threat for bounty hunters. They're actually smart enough to look for ways to earn. As long as Bitcoin is existing, the circulation would still flow continuously despite the strategy of investors. It's just that they are wiser not to waste their funds with scam projects anymore.

after what happen in 2018 it sad that ico was being affected so much due to most of the scammers used this to scam most of the people in crypto space, then when 2019 the investors became wiser than 2018 because they've found IEO in which it became trend because of the exchange who is known in crypto industry. But I never hear anything that the bitcoin supply will increase, is that true?

You just mentioned only some of the problems and the reasons are unclear why the sequence of struggles continues. The regulation will not bring healthy conditions to the crypto sphere and the new problems will replace the old problems. Finding the worthy projects turned to the game among the useless projects which have no value and future vision on the idea.

It is like 4 seasons in a year. Of the four there must be something fun and you hate.
Is regulating bitcoin a solution to eliminate scammers or bad projects? I think what needs to be improved is a very strict system for them (developers) to launch their coins or tokens. So there is no fake team, abandoned project in the future, and hack drama.

That's more like an edge of risky stuff. I think many people hasnt understand well that this is crypto space and most projects are experiencing some hardship in launching an ICO. Well they better resort to some IEOs instead. I think many projects are tend to it but we can't blame those ICOs some exchange have standard and that is unevitable.

Only Ico that had no real project has failed. every researcher and developers of some real project is continuing their work to get real and working products. until now they are currently researching how they can develop something that has never been implemented in the blockchain technology.
As for the hunters, all we need to do is support researchers and developers as these people are the only capable of contributing to the world of cryptocurrencies. so as a promoter, we need to do the task like we are part of the team and when the project becomes successful, not only we will earn some amount of cash. we can also achieve the real purpose of our campaign.

As soon as BTC dominance would drop, there would be enough bounty projects that would end successfully. Right now, it does not make sense to invest or promote new coins, because even such giants as ETH or LTC are struggling.

This is a big problem that the bounty HUnter is stumbling and worrying. ICOs are no longer popular and even IEO when the market focuses too much on BTC. Perhaps this is the end for bounty hunter?

Its happen because ICO is a shit that give stress to the investor right now I dont see any good ICO in the market because most of investor want to invest in IEO with assurance of listing project in exchange site but I dont think if this IEO will last.

If a project shows potential and does it's best to gain as much money as it can during crowd funding it will succeed even most ICOs are failing. IEO had become an alternative since most investors are over with ICOs being delayedwith getting their coins listed.

I think that IEO is following the trend if if IEO is no longer crowded by investors, someday there will be more sales from IEO, because investors are currently looking for current trends.

The bounty hunt is coming to an end, that's true. Fewer and fewer good projects can be found. But there is another side. Good projects that work and develop, often arrange various contest in which you can also participate and get a good reward. The news about Bitcoin surprised me. I'll read the article. Thanks

this will not coming ithe trend of bounties ended already there are few project paid   right now but only tiny amount and not worth it .

Wise thought, the content which hunters ate created, is not so good quality and on major just flood in forum

do you think that bounty hunter will end? I don't think so. the market is bad for investment and many of the scam projects that make bounty hunters now earn very little.
if you see what a good project is that can survive and sustain their community. like still holding campaigns and other events.
nowadays there are very few but many still believe and stay here to keep earning from bounties.

I agree that the ICO will die soon, but IEO is still popular and is not going to die. However, I think that ICO will soon change very much. The cryptocurrency industry will continue to progress and become better.

If ICO/IEO become a dead market, that will not much affect on the crypto industry. Because we already have countless coins and no one knows all the coin's names and their tech. But bounty hunter will face a very bad time if ICO/IEO project keeps failing! So, the better decision is to earn from bounty campaigns and start trading or buy good coins and hodl them.

Faced with a situation like this, I think focusing on bitcoin is healthier than altcoin. About increasing the bitcoin position, I have also heard, and for me, it will have a good impact on altcoin, so far, whose fate I can say is disappointing.

ICO is dying, it's a fact. The direction the bounty is also gradually becoming obsolete. But I don't think this direction not die forever. Maybe it's like that modified. Time will tell.

Fewer quality and credible projects is what is needed now rather than worthless quantities flooding the crypto world, projects without any values and unregulated ICOs that will disappear after collecting investors funds had filled the cryptospac, while bounty hunters wouldn't get paid for their efforts its high time bounty hunters finds other alternative of earning some bucks.

Even when it seems like there are no good ICO/IEO projects, if you are good with research, you should always find a few worthy projects to promote as a bounty hunter. You mentioned that there are rumors that  BTC supply will increase, but that's a fallacy. The only news trending is about Bitcoin halving by 2020, which simply means reducing miner rewards by half.

Yes, many are waiting for a surprise from the halving bitcoin next year. So far the market is indeed not profitable, many failed, scams, etc. IEO lately enough to arouse investment enthusiasm, but it did not last long, a kind of hit and run. But I am very optimistic that cryptocurrency is still very profitable in its own way, we are just waiting for the right timing and don't give up easily while training mentally.

Increase in Bitcoin supply? i never heard or read such news! where did you get that news? all i know is that the number of bitcoin will be fix at 21 million.
Bounty will not dye as long as there will be a new project. but the problem is not that.
If there will be no successful ICO or IEO in the community then there will be no payment for bounty hunters.
I hope there will something that will turn the table. Life of a bounty hunter now is not easy anymore due to failed projects which the main root is those SCAM ICO before!

It's not good for bounty hunters if soon they cannot find worthy projects to promote and support. If this will happen, there is a big chance that it is the end of the bounty hunters community but I am hoping that it will not come to this kind of situation.

Unlike in the past, the market is in the peak therefore they can easily raise 100$ million but right now we are nearly at the bottom so other project are having problem raising a fund.

It's not that weren't have chance to earn in bounty. Some bounty hunters complained that in a long period they done such promotion they still didn't earned. What about others who earned every time they do campaign? Meaning there still some earn in spite of a very hard situation. For me, its really depend on a hunter how he choose and maximize his time in finding real gem.

Not really I think, even if bitcoin is performing good, or not, if a project do really has a potential then it will prevail and get its investors right. The relationship of bitcoin and altcoin in terms of volumes will not limit the potential of a project. Though, what makes hard for an altcoin to succeed, is the repution of it in a holistic point of view, if and only if there's a less issues of scam project, we should have a good variety of altcoins that are worthy in the market right now.

It's not only about the short progress, but the reputation of ICO was ruined by scammers which makes an investors become hesitant about joining ICO projects.

That's the problem about bounty hunters. They are just doing it for the sake of rewards even if their work is trash. Sadly, at the end if the project was scam, their efforts and work will be wasted.


If we gonna compare the situation before about ICO projects, it was a blast moment. Altcoins season is great and they are giving some light to the crypto market. Not until some people just used ICO projects to just fund raised money and then eventually leave.


Cryptocurrency has a bright future aheads. Many merchants are adopting it already. Businesses are doing well integrating blockchin technology in their system. Their is still adjustments to the new technology but when people and different fields of industry will gonna realize the significant use of it, we will positively move forward.


I never heard about this kind of news. If that happens, there will be no problem. But the increase of supply means the less demand it will give. So, possible of decrease in btc's price will gonna happen.

Regarding the supply of bitcoin, it is indeed fixed to 21 million supply, I've never heard of increasing its supply. There is no updates like that, I think he just created it himself.

Bounty hunting is not dying, it just facing some circumstances for now, as long as we continue to become part of crypto community it wont ever end. It will have a progress and it will have some changes that might happen to it.

With these searching is a best tool to find a good project these days. Still there is a chance for the bounty hunters to earn. The point is with so many scam Ico project it makes investors losing trust in crypto. Hopefully there is a solution for this in the future to oust project scam.

Investors don't want to invest in ICO projects anymore and its same for me as a bounty hunter, i will never promote ICO bounty projects, since IEO is the newest solution to fund raising i am better off with IEO bounty projects, bounty hunting is not going anywhere because our service will always be needed.

One year back, we had on average around 300 to 400 new ICOs getting listed every month. Now this figure has dropped to two or three dozen per month (including the IEOs). So the market mood is obviously down. And the worst part is that there has been no relative decrease in the number of bounty hunters. So we have more number of hunters per bounty campaign.

The increase in Bounty hunters is not the reason of poor contents, it is the bounty hunter creating so many alts(taking more than he could chew) to earn more from the campaign thus with many task but same amount of time and person means less efficiency and quality of work.

Investors are getting wiser that is the short explanation of it.


For quality projects the future will be great but for shitcoins, it will be doom.



This is just rumor  pay no attention to it.

There are different ways to make money.
Maybe you should get a real job and then just buy bitcoin or ETH.
Those two are the promising ones and doesnt really need newly created coins to keep on going.

One problem with this new projects. They always want their own coin.
Why not make an ICO using bitcoin instead?
I just dont get it. But they want their coins to be bought using bitcoin. There is just no sense.

Its better to stay focus on bitcoin because its just safer but at the same time we shouldn't give up on altcoins and we should stop treating altcoins like they are all dead already, its hard to find bounties that pays bounty hunters in bitcoin nowadays and don't forget that altcoins have better rewards if they become successful after bounty ends

I agree 100%, investors are getting smarter now.


Possible, because most of the ICO today are struggling and soon they are also going to die.



Well there's a lot of regulations already, Fincen, FATF and even US SEC are already busy. Bounty hunters will also get a good rewards if we seen another bull run in 2020.

I completely agree with you, but unfortunately it's all because the cryptocurrency market has fallen too much and manipulators are still controlling the entire cryptocurrency market and ordinary people are suffering because of this, so everything can easily change if the whole cryptocurrency will be regulated and then there will not be such strong falls that in just minutes just kill the entire cryptocurrency market.

with works on developer to gives with spares on expensive as arrange on modifying use with resource on possession the return helps with future chance on work on extensive as hunters and investors of crypto business to gains as managing tasks with different option on field with compliance.

    So I think the projects that will be launched from the ICO phase will die, because the world does not trust these projects anymore. There have been many ICO projects that have been scam or whose value remains insignificant. However, the crypto market has a future and I think only large projects will survive, and those that will launch "coin", not "tokens".

Yes it is true investor are becoming smarter now and it is a good sign they are more aware of the risk,
This might lessen the scam project since most of them wouldn't get an investor.
And for us bounty hunters we should also be aware of the projects that we are promoting we are also investing our time and effort to promote the project to attract investors so we should also choose carefully,
There would always be a legit project out there we just need to carefully choose it and don't be lazy to do some research before promoting or investing on a project.

If developers are desperate for investors they should all consider going on big exchanges for their IEO fund raising project, once exchanges like binance or huobi advertise your IEO project on their exchange investors will buy very well and as for bounty hunters i think the ball is in our court, lets be very picky on bounty projects cos not all are good

The domain of the crypto is extremely mobile, and things change with an impressive speed: what was true yesterday will not necessarily be true tomorrow, indeed it will most likely be the opposite.
It is an unexplored territory, and only those who constantly follow the sector can hope to make good profits.
Surely, no one can rest on their laurels.

I do not think that the period of successful ICO has already passed. They are still able to revive their activities when the necessary conditions arise for this. This is the rise of the cryptocurrency market and the regulation of this type of activity by states.
However, significant changes are needed in the activities of specific projects. Now users work with tokens configured to wait for the time of the highest growth of its price and sell more expensive. That is, in conditions when tokens are traded on the market only for a short time, there is no interest in people in holding them. The situation can radically change the presence of passive income. It will also bring the cryptocurrency market closer to the stock market. If token holders periodically receive income from holding tokens, the situation should completely change.

Talking of cryptocurrency, it is not like people are not using cryptocurrency any longer, but it is the new projects that are not getting the chance of getting money from investors again, and if we look at it, what have we really done with the already existing projects? We have over 3000 projects in the market with the claim of having different solutions to the problems that we are encountering today but still yet, we keep having new ones joining and making the existing ones we ought to focus on really useless.

If I really have my way, I would reduce the number of projects that we have in the market to about 500 because right now, I don't think that we can really boast of more than 500 projects that are active in the market, and this is why I think we really need regulation badly which will be the only solution for now.

I do not know what will replace IEO or ICO in the future, but there will always be investors to support powerful minds. Because every strong brain does not have enough money to carry out his project, and this time sales like IEO help.

To me, the naturalness of crypto attracts us and if it loses that feature, what difference does it make from forex? After regulation, the only difference will be that it is a digital money.

As a bounty hunter, there are always bounties to make better money, but you need to investigate more. Or look for bounties paying with BTC.

if you are looking for gifts to enter this forum I think you are late boy. for the ico issue, I think it is still very good, and the crypto currency is still at the forefront and will continue to grow to be more used for the future

I don't think this space have seen all that needs to see concerning new project, there will always be new project in the space but this time a more standard one i presume, because now the crypto space is gradually moving away from the ico's period to the ieo's inline with investors getting more wiser and more picky on the kind of project they put their money on, nowadays, project with good initiatives and a use case are getting the most attention, hype, pump and dump are going out of fashion,
maybe a more advance bounty will be present by then :)

i wish all the inactive and non progressive project in the market should be wiped out, the market is flooded with too many redundant project that do not come close to doing well and surprisingly coinmarketcap still kept such project in their website, they should be removed by now because if they are inactive it means even the project owners have abandon the project long ago, no sane investor will be willing to invest in such project, so what is the point of having them around, already the market is flooded, yet we have new ones coming everyday to flood the market the more, people are hoping to see a more reliable project to invest on, it is no longer business as usual.

The Blockchain technology is still in its infancy stage if you look at its development. Crypto, being one of the faucets of blockchain is still also in its early development. SO I think there is still bright future for it. All this fears will eventually lessen once the technology becomes mature and there are mainstream adoption of crypto. as for the hunters, they might be experiencing a fallout but eventually will florish later on.

I do not this is the end for bounty hunters, i suppose it will just be difficult to find work to do.
WHy do i say so ?? Self funded establish projects will need marketing and promotion one way or the other. selecting the right one is something that needs to be worked upon.

The recent rise of the IEOs decreased the interest towards the ICOs and as a result, the bounty campaigns get low attraction by the bounty hunters. Teams don't want to waste time and afford for the promotional campaign which has no effect over the project. Popular bounty campaigns delay the bounty distribution and the late bounty distribution pushes the bounty hunters to the rush.

Thats one reason why one needs to stay updated with every present information, be persistent with quality research acitivities and maintain utmost business attitude with crypto tokens. Never be in love in any tokens, always sell on profit.

Where did you get this from? What is/are the source(s). I doubt if it is going to happen. However, ICO has been replaced with IEO. Been if there is still ICO, it will encounter the same problem its predecessor faced. So there is no point in launching an ICO or dwelling on it as hunters and investors.

yes, that happened right now.
a mostly bounty with token payment have low, even no reward.

no i guess, basically people still have infinity creation, creating for make something new, or perfect something that already exists.


yes, in the end , if crypto finally accepted by government,all government. there must be have a regulation.
well, its just from my imagination btw,


for god sake, i am really curious where u get that info.

The major reason for harassing is profit.  ICOs and IEOs have become less profitable, with many resulting in losses for investors. This is a major factor in detemining the profitability of a bounty campaign.  If a project is not successful in terms of raising funds,  where will they get funds to pay hunters?

I think the issue of ICO / IEO funds is not really an important issue, depending on the development of the project itself there are even projects that do not exceed $ 10 million and now have reached 100 million $ market capitalization.
It is true that due to the large number of ICO scams, investors still prefer to put their money in BTC, as a result BTC dominates more than 65%, but I think ALT season will come when they are really ready, or after BTC has experienced a pump then stable for a while.

Many ways how to increase your bitcoin and earn much money with crypto although ICO and IEO have ended with lower price, you can invest or just take way with staking your bitcoin on exchange market like buy and hold BTT, xrp or xlm. You can earn much money every month with your bitcoin holding in exchange wallet, maybe you can invest with altcoin and looking for which one potential altcoin to buy and have big chance to get profit.

I hardly doubt that IEOs will die, because they look very attractive at the moment. The problem is that people were tired of scammers and projects that never got listed on a good exchange. Thats why the majority switched to IEOs, which guarantees an exchange listing directly after the sales.

I instead support that IEO would rather die than more victims be deceived. there must be a regeneration of methods that have been done a lot at this time and the scammers are easy to cheat with IEO or ICO. supervision and transparency will also provide information to investors so they can be more observant in choosing their investments

Its hard time going for new projects to launch ICO as they are not being successful and i think its good for the crypto market as we have seen projects raising fund with the help of investors which has no objective or good service to be offered and still they raise funds.The bounty hunters also need to look for projects which are promising and healthy for the market and don't be in hurry to sell their tokens received.Investors need to support legit ICO and increase their prize or profits on it.

the time to launch ico will not get better until new investors come to the market. Now the only effective fundraising that I see is the search for private investors

Only hunters who thinks like you will keep missing out, everyone keeps complaining about bounties and yet good project are passing you by, tell me do you think that every day is a hunter's day? do you think that good projects will keep coming every day for hunters to promote? every bounties popping up here and there are no doubt useless projects so just be on the look out for solid projects, they come once a while

I think soon bounties will die, because now most projects that holding bounty it's scam. Already I see less bounty campaigns and with time will be lower.

I agree with you, most of the project promises this date for distribution so for sure they expect it, they will not ask for something which they don't expect, they are also humans, so we need to understand each other, for sure if the project delays the distribution they will understand it. The success of a project does not depend on hunters, but they have contribution for their success.

I completely agree with you that under the current conditions it is very difficult to find a good investor.  But it seems to me that I need to recognize the fact that investors left the cryptocurrency market and ico market because of a lot of fraud.  Therefore, it seems to me first of all it is necessary to improve the quality of new projects, as well as to acquire some effective method of control for all new projects in order to avoid fraud and so that investors are not afraid to invest their funds.

Indeed, at present there are many who are detrimental to many participants and also investors because the price has fallen not only by a few percent but the decline that has reached tens of percent, which has caused losses to many people. I am sure to find a good bounty nowadays is so difficult

Crypto Market is in a bad shape, do not expect too much when you are promoting bounty projects and at the same time this doesn't mean you should ignore your right as a bounty hunter, do your research before promoting any project, this bad market won't last for long and you may be able to make good money from the bounties you've already promoted

I believe that the Bounty Hunter should not do everything on his own in order for the project to become promising in the future.  No one should do the work of developers and the whole team, which should work on the prospects and relevance of their product.  The work of hunters is only in advertising, which they perform in full.  I believe that the work of the Bounty Hunters should be paid regardless of market conditions or the degree of development of the project itself.  He did the work and received a reward for his work.  But apparently the Bounty Hunters, this practical is the most vulnerable group of people who work in the cryptocurrency market.

The reputation of alts is on its darkest right now but it doesn't mean that we should be discouraged by what is happening in the industry. It's quite the opposite, crypto need our support more than ever. Nevertheless, we also need to be more cautious.

ICO already dead since 2018 when most of the ICO going scams and i don't think it will be come back. IEO is successfully created hype instead of ICO and now i think majority of the investors will focus on IEO. In the circumstances bounty hunt is also gradually dying because there are no worthy projects available in the market so how you will be get reward from the projects. If in the next year market will grow than provably bounty will strongly come back otherwise i think no way.             

only those people who are currently on the cryptocurrency market can somehow affect the positive reputation of altcoins. together we can figure out scams or find good projects and talk about them

I don't think market has scarcity of investors. But the continuous saga of unsuccessful projects have restricted the flow of investment in ICO market.
So unless few projects actually launch their products/services, do some real world functionality and actually sustain for long-term, interest of investors isn't going to revert.

How can we improve the quality of new projects? - only if we ourselves begin to create these projects, but we even do not know what difficulties we will have to face when creating projects. all this is very scary and I think that all new projects will begin to die very soon

I don't think so that he/she is late when it comes to bounties because as of now there are still some legitimate projects and bounties that you can join but it is rare because many of the projects right now are scam or not paying to their bounty hunters.

Yes, cryptocurrency will grow and spread all over the world and many people will acknowledge this new digital currency and many will try it because of the curiosity on how it works.

It belongs to the signature campaigns, I also do not think it works well. Signature campaigns are useful for introducing existing projects. In addition, I do not think the whole bounty is worthless. Every project needs marketing, even if not here, in other places. For marketing it is more accurate to choose where the crypto community is most gathered, and bitcointalk is optimal to these indicators. Projects can not find any better place to announce itself.

Crypto bounties is not dying any time soon, our service will always be needed and this year so far i am impressed that few legit projects have good volumes on exchanges, the latest one is nestree project which has over 300k trading volume on exchange, not bad for a new project and all hunters have been paid

But if we look at all the projects that were born this year, there are still many bad ones, only a few are good, for example like the project you said, try to look at the percentage of projects this year, surely there are still many that are worse than the good ones.

No you are wrong
Stating the obvious truth and reality does not mean that I let good projects pass me by
I have earned from gold, hbrs in this die hard period; what does that tell you ?

I only express myself and learn with my thread; I never criticize

Solid projects are always around; all you need to do is find out
Cheers 🍻

The idea of regulation isn't a bad one even though what is majorly canvassed in the crypto industry is anonymity. Regulation will help strengthen the industry as it will encourage conservative investors to stick out their necks and put their monies down in investment. Also, it will help reduce scams as scammers can get easily tracked.

This will be the last straw that will eventually bury the industry once it happens.

I still hold out some hope that there are some decent projects in which to engage in. For sure, it is not like the year 2016 and 2017 where we earned massive amounts for less work. Now there are many bounty hunters and not enough decent projects that collect enough in the IEOs or ICOS so this is the main problem we face now. More supply of bounty hunters, to the demand needed. I think if they limit the amount of bounty hunters for each campaign, that would be much easier for starters and if the tokens were escrowed in advance to the bounty managers or payment made part in tokens and part in Eth, that would also be much better in my opinion. Though, while there is still demand for our work, I will for sure participate.

Hunter looking for which one have big chance to get profit with IEO or ICO, with success way for investing they will look which one have best chance for profit in crypto investing, after finished of ICO project now they have looking for with IEO project for investing with give much profit. Running time with bitcoin and altcoin investment always have new platform to earn profit and how smart you take moment with investment.

hunters, of course, are looking for such projects and they even find them, but the projects are very disrespectful to bounty hunters and now they very often cheat. People get a penny for months of work

My views and opinion based on what I've seen in crypto and hunters now are not to good for hunters because its not the riggt time to work on prot because as many of those and almost all of projects are not good which is can't help to the faster growt of the crypto now.

where do you get news about bitcoin supply will increase. Nothing in the history of bitcoin supply has increased, bitcoin supply has only reached 21,000,000 BTC. Maybe you misunderstood the news you read or indeed the news about bitcoin can actually increase

exactly right now I think the growth of the new crypto is very strange, the number of ico or ieo is generating millions of dollars but their projects are not working and some are slowly dying their projects, maybe next year there is good news for us all?

A lot of projects are not working, developers i believe are short of ideas for new platform.
Ieos are on the lows, and at risk of burning out.

What next for altcoins ? they are getting delisted daily.
What next for crypto currency

  In fact, I think the bounty hunters and many token investors are still very good. Because there are many IEOs that have high prices at the moment. There will always be potential projects if you are patient and learn about those projects well before you work on or invest in them. So it cannot be said that the ICO / IEO is completely dead

I do not agree on the part that bounty hunters are increased because as you said that new project these days is struggling on raising funds and most of the time they cannot reach the softcap that causes the bounty hunters to suffer for not getting paid and force them to quit or stop doing bounties because it is not worth it anymore.

Indeed, investors are smarter and won't invest on most new projects anymore.
And no, bounty hunters are not increasing i think. Hunters nowadays are fewer than in the past when there were many ICOs sold out.
Hunters should wait for a good time when there are many good projects created and bring many investors.

This is becomes the challenge for bounty hunters to be for concerned about choosing a good bounty.
Bounty hunters now need more effort of joining bounties and i think it's worth the result also

Failure of ICO nowadays are due to the rampant scams out there that investors lost interest on putting their funds on it because it's just a waste of money and time. However i believe the glorious days of bounty campaign will come, we need strict regulation with ICOS to achieve this.

The story was same for last year as well. This is largely not because the market is down but rather because projects coming up of late lacks creativity and innovation. These projects which fails are often due to repetition of ideas and products without any unique add up of already existing projects.

This industry is dynamic so, do not expect that it will always be good times nor the prices will continuously increment with time. There will lows like this where the reputation of cryptos will be challenged. Yet, it doesn't mean that we will just have to wait for it pump up again. Promoting projects that has great potential and worth of our time is a good way to clear the doubts in investing in the market. Finding that particular project will be difficult but not impossible.

There will not be an increasing number of bitcoin supplies, unreasonable increases in supply, we don't even know the makers of bitcoin. Cryptocurrency in the future, may become an alternative to global transactions and high-value assets, just what the news will be like in the future, and what digital currency developers will plan. When the bounty trend has begun to decline, not much can be done and the level of ICO investment is also small, anyways to generate digital currency there are still many ways to become bounty hunters.

It is good to hear that there are still good bounty campaigns and I also know that bounties are not dying because I've also earn with bounties before and I think there are still many good bounties out there, the downside of bounty for me is that, they pay you after the project which is you didn't know if their project will going to be successful, because once that their project will not going to be success then there is no pay. That's is what I've known about bounties.

Some things that I agree with are that investors are smart enough to choose projects, where they choose projects that provide a bounty allocation that is not so large so that it can prevent dumps that can be caused by bounty hunters. Well, this is one of the investors' minds.

on the other hand, as a bounty hunter, we might find it difficult to choose projects that truly benefit us from the results of our work. however, no one will be interested in a small allocation.

however, I feel that projects that have a professional team will think about this issue. they will prevent dumps even from investors. after all, investors and bounty hunters have the same view in assessing a quality project.

Times like this comes in crypto most times. Once the general crypto market is down it will be difficult for most investors to invest in altcoin which will also have ripple effect on the amount that ICO/IEO are able to raise.  Crypto is always evolving and i guess if ICO and IEO dies eventually new method of raising funds for new projects will evolve also. So also will other notable bounty that will pay hunters evolve also

This hard time in crypto is expected by me and for those who don't expect this well it is not possible for crypto market to keep surging without falling down, so when ever the market is in bad shape it will surely affect rewards from bounties and ROI from projects as well, crypto is just in a bad season is all

I am curious with how would the supply of bitcoin will increase since as far as I know, there's a limited supply, and if it would be possible, I do think that it would make its market value smaller since demand meets the value of the crypto; the higher the supply the lower the demand. Projects are failing due to the market situation. There's no assurance yet on what would happen in the future so the best thing to do now is to just wait.

Maybe he meant Bitcoin Halving to take place in the year 2020,


Yes many are unpaid and if they are paid almost none of the value of the token they receive. As a result, many bounty hunters have now stopped participating and others are still active in bounties.

As my mentor always telling me before when I was just starting in crypto, patience is very important here
crypto is not for the weak-hearted.

Neither ICOs nor IEOs will die. What happen is that crypto investors choose to invest in IEO than ICO and most IEO project raised more than $100K you mentioned.


Regulations will does good and bad to the crypto market cause it will limit the number of new project creates but it will also give the government the power to manipulate the market.


The news about the increase in Bitcoin supply is false.


Bounty hunters will find worthy project to promote if they know the features worthy projects usually has.

I believe that cryptocurrencies will continue to grow despite recent difficulties, certainly in the future governments will sit together and make regulations for cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin will not be able to increase the supply, if Bitcoin raises the source it will disrupt the cryptocurrency market.

The question is, what will make them to be ready or what will prepare them for the altcoin because the way I see those altcoins, it seems like they are not ready for the bull run as none of them is even responding to bitcoin. Majority of us expect that when bitcoin start pumping and enter bull run, it will affect the rise of all altcoins, but this pump we have from April till now, why has it really not affected the altcoins positively?

The only coins that we have seen respond to bitcoin bull run are the top altcoins, and those are not the only altcoins that we have in the market, how can only 100 coins be responding to the rise of bitcoin out of about 3000+ coins that we have, this is what is really making me get scared of the future of these cryptocurrencies(altcoins).

There are many projects are coming these days and since 2018 the number of ICOs are grown and even the bounty work also increased but the hunters are still in disappointing. This because of many fake and non-demanded project. Also, the cryptocurrency that the bounty hunters are getting still layes in their wallet and not listed in any exchanges. So, this field is now no more demanded for the hunters.

Right, now many prize hunters are disappointed, because the time they spend participating in projects this year is not appropriate, so it makes the bounty participants feel disappointed over the projects they have participated in so far.

Boycotted right now ico is no longer so active anymore. we are all aware that investing in ICO is a loss so we no longer have an interest in putting money in this investment. I personally have long left the ICO since 2018. There is quite an intense project scam that is still operating by using ICO. and now ico is no longer running due to difficulty in getting funds

ICOs are no longer active but investing in ICO is not a loss you know how to spot out a genuine ICO project and the reason why ICOs seems to be lost is that investors don't trust in the system anymore due to huge scam activities done by fake ICO projects. Mind you, scam project operates in diverse ways.

Bounty is not dying. People just run to any project and expect to benefit? If only it were so easy. When you bounty hunt you invest your time instead of your crypto and you should take just as much care to invest as anything else. Investors need to properly analyze things like they would any other investment before crypto. I really don't understand why investors were so careless before. It makes me wonder where all of that money came from?

It doesn't mean that ICO projects are failing as of now we should be afraid of that. It is happening because the market did not go well as of now. Not like what happened last 2017, almost all project became successful because the market is alive, what I mean is that the price of any cryptocurrency is on the high peak. So there are lots of investors taking risks investing in cryptocurrency. I recommend to everyone not to lose hope because downfall of market is normal and there is a big possibility that it will rise up again we just need to wait for that to happen again. We should continue our different ways of earning here and keep on supporting cryptocurrency.

Can you give an example of the kind of preparation you want to see within the altcoins that will make you feel they are ready for bull run?
During the 2017 bull run there was no preparation of any sort as far as I know, the alts just pick up and follow the up trend, but so far we have not witness any serious bull run maybe that is the reason the alts have not really respond along btc, but I still hope that will happen at the right time.

indeed it is very difficult to find projects that can survive in its development at this time. Most of the projects currently only seek profits for developers and cannot survive to develop the targets they make. and bounty participants sometimes do not get paid accordingly

Yes I think it is very difficult to find a good project to be promoted because of the many projects that lead to a scam and die.
Maybe this year investors are still convinced to IEO because it is safer. Most ICOS are now not in demand because investors are more at risk and their projects are not in good care and end up dying.
I hope that in the future crypto no more fraud or hackers are damaging the ecosystem.

Many bounty projects will keep failing because of the present market condition, its best to promote projects that have working products to be able to make something out of them at least, bounty hunting of nowadays is meant only for the strong

I agree with you. It is really hard to find a good project to promote. Becayse most of the project right now is really hard to join because on it's kind of rules that any time it can be change. And if we talk about campaign salary they also have a power to change it. So it is not worth it if we find that kind of project. We need to have some research if we are start to hunt campaign.

the bounty hunters don't just go straight into the project, because they certainly see the project through the web, and they will analyze the roadmap, whitepaper, team and mission, if they think that this is a paying project then they will join and vice versa. because now many projects are deceiving bounty hunters.

Only we will determine the future quality new altcoin project; investors, communities, traders in control, must think ahead, which assets are viable, which projects are junk. Cryptocurrency makes people achieve their rich dreams or the opposite.

Everything has to work in harmony and in a synergistic way in which to bring forth a good result. Projects need to be well organised, run and managed, while us Bounty Hunters, should be diligent in our tasks and also do our best to genuinely bring out the project in the bes tlight possible. We can't expect to earn our rewards for a shoddy job badly done, along with the plethora of bounty cheaters also that have cropped up, but also we don't want to be cheated either from unscrupulous fake Teams whoi just want to run off with ICO/IEO funds from unsuspecting investors. We all need to work together to make CRYPTO great again. We can't see moons and lambos if we pick the fruit off the tree way too soonb ecause we ar eimpatient, and that goes for every area invovled in crypto.

ICO is not in demand and has moved to IEO, but IEO is also getting a response that is not so good at this time. Many IEOs are deliberately created just to deceive investors and take profits quickly. With so many fake projects, new regulations are needed to make scam projects no longer heard. It might be impossible, but at least it can reduce the scam project. My income as a bounty hunter has also declined because no one has paid until now. Just waiting for Bitcoin and Ethereum to reach the highest price again, might help this situation.

both ICO and IEO are the same in my opinion, but the crowdfunding model is different. I say ICO is not really dead right now, it's just that investors still doubt the ICO project. ICO projects that have new innovations in the public can still have a chance to succeed, investors still see it if the concept given is different from previous projects. basically the role of the investor is the main heart of the project as a determinant of its success.

unfortunately if a Bounty Hunter chooses a project randomly or doesn't do the analysis first. this is why investors (beginners) start to get caught up in scam projects, because of bounty hunters who promote projects without analyzing.

Investors have just pulled out their money due to increasing scams in crypto market but I think it doesn't mean money will not come back into the market again, it needs a right push only. Currently ICOs and IEOs are not able to raise enough funds to launch their products properly and many of these ICOs are turning scams but as someone said technology keeps on evolving, I think there will be some new development in the crypto space which will bring back the investor's faith and market will continue to grow.

Yes, everyone in crypto space whether investors or hunters need to think in the positive direction for crypto to be great in future. For hunters, some just promote any project provided they see big allocations which most times isn't feasible. We ought to do proper due diligence before delving into any bounty.  Investors need to do thorough research before investing in any coin, and also invest what you can afford to lose. We need to spot quality projects and support them, not otherwise. It's sad that some greedy bounty hunters are killing the hustle with multiple accounts hence reducing the reward for quality projects.

So when they cannot raise enough money why should they force themselves to continue the project? they should be able to refund funds to investors and are ready that the project failed. instead they continue with funds that they cannot really force and in the end will actually become a scam. very unfortunate will damage the trust of many people when all projects have a concept like this

Bounty hunter is smarter of crypto because they can earn thousand ethereum with free way without investment, I felt with many worth bounty campaign have higher price after listing on exchange market, without investing bounty hunter can earn much money with bitcoin and altcoin profit, just few years bounty campaign is worth and now have back to crisis with lower payment and price.

That's what I am looking forward too, IEO is actually good as this is more legit compare to ICO, as the exchange itself serves as the escrow, but what's the disadvantage of it is that scammers can also do IEO, they are willing to invest their own fund too just for them to accumulate more fund, this is what we should regulate and we should have law for this. Maybe when we have a law and all of the IEO/ICO has been approved by the government maybe that is the time for investors to invest again as they have assurance. 

IEO and ICO won't die, developers that stop using ICO do not mean they are dead, IEO on the other hand are performing better this year that is why developers prefer IEO than ICO, and ICO has become scammers favourite, as for IEO you can't get scam if you stick with binance

Am a hunter and have made some good considerable investment since I joined the movement if cryptocurrency. Base on what you have just asked, ICOs and IEOs are good to invest but this depend  on the type of project that went through any of these means or promotion. I like IEOs because its reformed form of ICOs. Many of these coins or tokens are been listed without any delay after IEO.

There still possible chance of scam if they use to make an IEO in unpopular exchange . Which is already happening now there many small exchange that offer IEO listing for cheaper price.

Failure is mother's success. Experiencing many ups and downs, cryptocurrencies have a position like today. It is suspected that there are currently too many scammers and insecure viruses. But I believe, cryptocurrencies will have a new breakthrough in the future

Yes, most at times it gives the opposite because many investor's lack the self will power to research into any project they choose to invest into. Many are too lazy to do duel diligence concerning a project before they invest. Being lazy can give by trader, investor or Holder a junk of cryptocurrency without prior notice, ensure to research into a project before you invest.

Well it's their loss. And sometimes, even doing intensive research doesn't work, especially if the person is not prepared to hold until the project he supported moves forward. A lot of projects that are also legitimate sometimes takes time to even get value. So you'd really need to have patience to wait it out and to have the means to keep your tokens steady in your bag. Most of the time these tokens get sold right off the bat. Some of the more established coins took years before they we able to lift off.

I think the cryptocurrency space is actually readdressing itself, recently there is improvement in the quality of projects appearing in the crypto shpere. This is a welcome development. The blockchain technology has come to stay,many investors have learnt their lesson so they are very careful. Hunters will have more work to do in the near future.
 

Just because IEO is more legit and less risky than ICOs does not mean that it is beneficial too. There are people who trust it but then majority is not supporting this idea. All such projects are vulnerable to be used in the hands of cyber criminals so we cannot go easy with any of them. Instead of getting involved into these projects, it is best to invest in good altcoins. Governments can’t stop scams either.

Well, for Crypto currency as a whole, I think there is need for more strict regulations to ward against scammy projects. And for hunters, I think we don't just need to dabble into projects. As a hunter, its always good to review and analyze critically projects before you dive in.

We need some kind of regulations that would prevent such a dramatic amount of scam projects. Unfortunately, all those scammers are creating a bad image for crypto in general which makes it extremely difficult to attract new investors.

I have few restrictions about regulation, if theres negative news from china sec or usa sec or bakkt; there is a bloodbath in the market.
What then happens if there's full time regulation? will it lead to unnecessary fear and panics?

In late 2017, early 2018, hunters were rewarded really well but guess what almost none of those project is alive now.

The lack of ICOs these days is actually pretty healthy imo, most of them are just money grabbing schemes anyway.

Sadly we couldn't do anything about it but to know when a thing is a scam to avoid. We cannot solve this kind of illegal doing here, on this kind of industry where anonymity is involve. ICO these days are quite hard to detect if legit or not because there are lot of ICO in the past that has a decent everything but still able to scam and run with the money.

In the third quarter of last year when the bear market was so terrible that many projects were just folding up and the ones that were hoping to organise a tokensale didn't do it because they knew that it would be a wasted effort, hunters had this fear too but it turned out to be a false alarm because IEOs came and replaced the ICO tokensale model, while this had no direct effect on bounties, it breathed life into the Cryptocurrency space and the market in general and more bounties were organised, what I am basically trying to say is that if you start panicking now, you might be panicking over nothing because another major event or investment opportunity might arise and it would give bounty hunters another unique opportunity to earn.

there have been a lot of changes since beginning and when one thing disappears, another appears. This is how our world is. Losing hope, feeling sad and letting go all the courage to struggle for a better life will indeed bring nothing. This is going to just cause more loss in terms of health and time. IEOs have given hope to bounty hunters and they just need to do a bit of research before participating in.

in the past, many project success and now im following their development. their token price still good with good volume too. bitcoin price rising and many ico take the advantage to that situation, and their coin can be sell with good price because it helped by bitcoin. we domt know who is fake or real because they are profitable. now, starting feel and many reason appear.
this is crypto

the possibility that could kill the ico or ieo project. I think it is indeed time for regulations to be applied officially in the crypto market and also the ico or ieo project by the state. establishing failure guarantees, terms and conditions when launching a project and a new product, and also some important points such as good and proper management of the project team so that the industry can last forever.

Regulation make many ICO and IEO project have control under government, its bad ideas to make ICO and IEO success with higher price after listing on exchange market, Many bounty hunter looking with good ICO investing worth with bounty campaign without waste their time with shit bounty campaign without get reward, many bounty looking with good investment ICOs.

Things may be looking pretty bad at the moment and being able to join good good projects might be a little bit difficult but I know there will still be good projects that will worth the energy. The future of cryptocurrency is bright as it still stands today despite the various predictions that it wont last this long

Crypto will recover, its only a matter of time but as for bounties it doesn't make sense to stop hunting because as hard as it is for projects to raise funds successfully some bounty projects still became successful.

Yeah there are still few good bounties that worth to do. But the ratio is 1:100, compared to 2017 i think every project that we joined ended up with good profits because investors are so many. Right now crypto investors is also few and only invest on really good projects, so we have to be really selected person for choosing project that we want to promote.

Failure is mother's success. It takes a failure for people to grow up and I believe that cryptocurrency is the same. Currently ICO and IEO are in a bad period. Most ICOs and IEOs are unable to raise funds due to increased fraud, investors do not dare to invest in ICOs. It seemed that the ICO and IEO were dead, but it is slowly recovering.

Finding project to promote won't always be the problem. Everyday new ideas, innovative ideas are born in this space, what is left to us is to filter these innovations from laggards and promote the innovation being brought to us. Because the area is saturated, we find it difficult to see solid projects on time but they will always exist.

Bounty hunters have too much work to accomplish! However, in order to receive the money from the project, I don't think it will be easy. Many scam projects and even listed on the exchange but do not pay bounty hunters. The bounty hunter needs money to pay for everything, poor thing.

The earnings in bounty hunting is no longer as big as it was before and the chance of getting the money you deserve for your work is very small because ICOs nowadays are being dominated by IEOs. Also, investors are now careful due to scams circulating here.

Bounty campaign is not worth again after many ICOs not success and never reach of hard cap target, ICOs have been left by investor and invest with IEO now. Almost bounty campaign have looking other way to get earning with bitcoin and altcoin, now available for many bounties campaign give bitcoin payment every week.

Regulation? Who are the ones that you are expecting regulation from? Is it not from the same governments that have hatred for cryptocurrency and would prefer to have their own cryptocurrency rather than supporting all these external cryptocurrency, so if you are waiting for regulation, my brother, you may not really get any regulation for now.

Government don’t like cryptocurrency, and it is because they have no choice that is making them to create their own cryptocurrency now, so if they will see anything that will keep crypto, they will accept it which is why with all the scam cries, you have not seen them make an attempt to arrest any except just very few country that cares about their citizens, but seems countries like US prefers that the image of cryptocurrency gets tarnished even if it has to affect their citizens than to protect them.

Cryptocurrency has a unique niche, provides opportunities and profits in its own way, nothing needs to be changed so that it is like forex and another stock trading.  we are the ones who have to adapt, even though it is controversial, cryptocurrency provides many opportunities for learning money, which is why there are some countries that limit activities with cryptocurrency to prevent abuse for illegal acts.

Any new process is comes to cryptocurrency like ICO, STO and IEO. Should have trust worthy like some IEO was success for only exchange support which means this project is worth to invest. New process like top exchange or top coin is partner with new project.

This is more reason why project developers should see to it that their projects survive at all cost, if not ICO/IEO might continue the struggle if they always find it hard to reach their soft cap
