Since there have been many things and issues that are not good about ico and others, according to many members, the potential has declined drastically, can we all choose which one is the potential or not?

You are free to choose those projects and bounties that you want to join. It also depends on your standard on what are the potential bounties that you want to join.
But in reality, many of them are no longer worthy to try. Let's try to agree that there's still potential with bounty but that could be just 1%.

You can choose but hard to know if which project will be successful,Even the project has been successful you will also not know if you are able to trade the token thats why many people moved to IEO project.
In terms of bounty potential to earn is still there but the question is if the payment still worth it ,no one knows.

I can say it's better to not join them and just abandon any altcoin bounties. This is not same like in 2017 or 2018 while you can earn huge profit through ICO, either by investing your money or joined on their bounty. Let say you joined on their bounty for 4 months, and in the end you will be only earn less than $100 since their token only worth much smaller than their ICO price.
There are even bounties which delayed their payment for more than 1 year

Honestly it's not a good year to join on altcoin bounty campaigns since most of them is a huge upset and it's a waste of time if you join on scam ones so better join on btc paying campaigns right now or find another ways to earn money here. But if you still like to join on alts then ask yourself or better think for it so many times if you can risk or not.

It didnt only declined drastically but i would say that its nearly dead as of today.ICO is being nested by those scammers who do just solely targetting out investors money
without giving any working product and the team behind just simply ran or abandoned the project.As a bounty hunter you would really be mainly affected because
you would receive a loads of their worthless shit tokens.Choosing which one do had the potential? Its always been the question of most people.

you can choose what bounty will you want to join but whats the hard thing is you cant pick which bounty will last long  or they are just only active in the beginning.  Real talk since  the start of 2019 until now i havent gotten any rewards from the bounties i have joined.

Yes you can still find the potential to grow when you do a background check on the team members and partners if they do have one.
Its time for bounty hunters to do research first before participating to avoid getting scammed in the future, it might not fool proof but it should reduce your risks.
then maybe you need to level up your standards of participating.

no we cant  . not all people are built with the same knowledge  . some are those who are not really knowledgeable enough or too lazy enough to take time to learn and to have some patience of doing a research if which bounty is excellent or not  . im saying that we all cant agree on one bounty  but i think i need to agree on the second part of your sentence  . its true that the health of bounties were damaged but this not the end  . we wont know if the condition  of the bounty will return in a stable condition in the future  .

After all the scams done in just 10 years, you can probably see how much scams will come for another 10 years more for us. You'd be lucky to see if the project that gave you 50K tokens are listed in the market for at least you can then sell and forget about the project which could be scam one day. But mind you there are few projects that are still up for the technology they want to contribute. Too few though.

So frustrating if I recalled those days I wasn't earning with altcoins bounty, indeed it was really a waste of time and efforts. Even with year 2018, all expectations went so down on different projects I had, but nothing happens; its always a broken promises without any good listings at trading sites.
BTC campaigns nowadays was much reliable compared to altcoins bounties, so never miss the chances for money because it's right here as long as you're diligent and hardworking to earn for it.

There is almost no longer a bounty that should be followed, many scams or fail, I tried to follow some bounties but the results were not satisfying, if you have the capital, you can try to learn to trade crypto.

It is difficult to determine what is potential and not, because everyone has their own perspective as well as how to judge a bounty, some are based on the bounty manager, the total prize or also the type of the project that conduct the bounty.
So if i say it's no potential, you can still see that there are many who continue to join bounty.
My personal opinion is that, it is no longer potential, which is why I chose not join the bounty currently.

Chances of finding the one is very rare so you should try the best bounties among all and lets hope for the best but as others said I won't suggest you to be a bounty hunter because its going to cost you lot of time which can be invested on other productive activities like trading and making profits.

this year many bounties scamming their participants but if you choose the correct bounties you can earn a good amount of money
for me if i want to join any bounty i will just choose the bounty that managed by trusted account in bitcointalk because that manager will never manage the bounty if they don't see any potential in the project

There were scenarios that I've seen people talking about how good a project was because there were too many bounty participants promoting it at the same. And that's an advantage for the project because it can pull them a lot of investors towards them.

But once the project starts to act strange, bounty hunters will have their individual detachment from that bounty because they can see the start of falling down. So, knowing about the bounty if it has the potential can only determine in the beginning as always but results vary.

So how can we proceed by choosing, by voting or reviewing? remember these bounty campaigns has article review bounty, where people will review how good the project is to get their rewards, we all want to know what has the potential and what has not, some of them are caught, faking their whitepaper, faking their team giving us empty promises, but still many are able to get in and that's very unfortunate and that's what makes picking the right one very hard.

In reality as well, many (most) bounty participants themselves are not worthy of joining, and in fact most never were in the first place.

There is a lot of potential with bounty, but I believe that talent matches potential. You get what you're worth, for most of the time. And iin fact, you even know what you're worth and seek out what you're worth.

You cannot get a honest review on that since for sure the review given is always positive since they are a participant of the bounty campaign that's why we need to research so that we can see the full potential of the project. And although it's really hard to find those paying campaigns I still believe that there still paying but we shouldn't rely on it and be ready for possibilities that they will not pay their participants.

Choosing of the bounty program to participate is a personal option and conviction of an individual, there is no central control system that dictate which one to join or not.

ICO/IEO project have also disappointed the bounty hunters, we all only need to be careful in selecting the project to join.

Well, that's the job of the one who runs the bounty on how they will select their participants. But as of now, most of these bounties will just allow anyone as long as it's eligible and can pass through their requirements.
But if they will ever become strict to it, I think that many of them will never be allowed to join but it's their decision and they can choose anyone they want since they are paying with their own token with a speculative and unknown value.

Bounty campaign are still profitable and it will depend on what project you are joining in. You need to avoid those bounty campaign that required KYC (for me) and rewarding only a small amount of token/coin that didn't even reach $5 and your effort will be worthless.

Much better to only join those campaign that has a good review and legitimately paying their members and also trusted campaign manager.

By choosing a trusted campaign manager is a good point, but there’s no also guarantee that the project may become successful. It is really needs of assessment regarding the whole project since these days there are many Ico’s failed. Even we encounter failed project there is still good and potential project, only that we have to search the best to join.

By doing your research and by luck to be at your side you can still choose what project / bounties that have potentials. Many failed even they've tried lots of things, considering the team behind, the usage of the project, and even the interest of investors but chance to failed still present. But if luck permits you to luckily pick and follow the right one then your stay will be very profitable. Don't lose hope but instead continue to tail those potential
project that you are eyeing, who knows when luck hits you and bring huge rewards.

Thats true it will hard to identify the good project if you will only base if who is managing a campaign  since the manager paid also in that service. And they can easily accept job as long they get right amount from it.
ICO is now dead so the chances to find a good one is 1-10 .

After many ico frauds that occurred in 2018, I think it also has a direct impact on the bounties that exist today, even in past few months there is not a single bounty that really benefits the participants, we can see that now we are only rich at stake or only in the spreadsheet, but after the bounty is finished many participants do not get paid at all, even if there are projects that pay can be ascertained if the price of the token has been dumped and has no value at all.

You are free to choose whichever bounties you want, but the one with potential? Purely by luck? Maybe. Even with the most promising project that we tought have potential, the chances for them to be a success one still so little.

You could try by joining a bunch of them at once, one of them might be a good one, fingers crossed.

You know, when you just blindy joined a bounty and you doubted them, but voila. It turns out it's a good one. It's too hard to predict whether which one is good or not.

Just think of all altcoin projects are potentially scam either for you or the investors. They have lost any reputation that Ethereum had given them and we are just having a circle of tokens being gone after one after the other. Bounty "hunters" should focus on more productive work like skill development and stop hunting this forum which is only leading to frustration among every young mind coming here.

This should not be the case. Take part in this forum and be an active member in different discussions. You may be able to join a signature campaign soon enough when you have earned enough merits. ;)

for now, most people might judge that it is very difficult to find projects that have more potential. but, some projects make worth payments, that's the reality. it's just very difficult to find. at this time it is so difficult to find potential projects just by relying on research and others. in my opinion, there are still some projects that are worth it, I rate it that way because there are some projects that pay enough this year, it's just that it really needs to be considered because the risk is very large. many can not stand it, so many people who support projects that pay using bitcoin.

When looking for a good project, awareness is very important, an awareness that the ICO and bounty campaign is all messed up, an awareness that we should not believe in what we see on the graphic and the promise on what is in their roadmap, and awareness that even if the project is good and legit, it will have a hard time looking for investors, because of the situation.

By conducting a research you can find a project that has potential, look for the factors to consider before participating. Sometimes trusted manager is one indication that the project is likely real and not scam but this doesnt guarantee the future of the project if it will succeed or fail.

In the end its up to us how we're going to deal with numerous projects existing, majority of these are scam but if you know what to do to avoid such project then you'll not end up wasting your time advertising them.

Yes, it is our duty to find the best bounty campaign because without choosing the right bounty it is impossible for us to make money. Even we are seeing many ICO/IEO has disappointed even though they reached their specified hard cap. That's why should always be very selective when it comes to bounty hunting.

I wonder how we could find best today if all of them is potential scams? and unfortunately we cannot see who's paying right now. But I still not closing doors for bounty opportunities and I think there are other things will come up and that will make us earn. And we should be vigilance since we might gonna see a potential but turns out to be a bad things to join that's why maybe for now we should stop or if not better accept the fact that we possibly cannot be payed since it's a gamble for joining them.

I think many of projects right know can't still says if its good or not since it cause a huge potential of scams at the last i thought and looking forward to move on and still finding a way to back for being a bounty hunter and to earn some little bit of money.

Manager try their best to keep the good campaigns from the bad ones but it is also not their fault is they get deceived and tend to have a bad track record. Since the person who is joining that bounty is doing so voluntarily, it is their decision and not a compulsion for the project owners to pay them, since bounties will be paid only if the project raises upto some cap.

Some people tend to be extremely self-entitled but this only hurts them in the long run.

Kinda right but I still look on which of them still pays since I think there is still a potential for bounties even though a lot of scams came in and for sure there are legit companies will come to enter the scene but it's so hard to spot them that's why we should assume that we cannot be payed always and maybe we assume for ourselves these days we have chances that we will not get payed and if they pay we are lucky.

why dont you join in cryptotalk bounty i think its the most active bounty in the forum today. Because the payment is made evereyday, and the reward per post is good.

Cryptotalk currently accept only Sr. Member and above. Most popular or legit campaigns now that are managed by known bounty managers accepts Sr. and above or need a requirement to have merit to participate in their campaign to be able to join on those weekly payment thru BTC. Other bounties needs to wait after the ICO reach softcap to gain and wait till it became listed. All OP can do is to join in other bounty type like content creation thru article or video to gain bigger amount in bounties.

It is still a difficult choice. I have been participating in many Bounty campaigns and have good and bad experiences. from some projects I have never received any reward due to a most two factors: scam project and unsuccessful projects because admins lack of technical expertise or whatever. you can avoid these problems by checking out project very well, and making sure it is not scam through several factors such as check out the team, concept of the project, ask questions to the team members and etc. Also make sure project is using a platform for the bounty campaigns which provides automatized services and there is not chance of loosing a track and your activities are securely recorded.

In addition to these criteria. Most signature campaign available on services section requires a good post quality history I highly doubt that a newbie or low quality poster will be able to join there.
There is still some good bounty campaigns available on the altcoin, Last time I visit them, I saw Xcard and Hive bounty program which is both a good campaign. The only thing that will be disadvantage
to join them is there are so many participant already join there so the individual bounty might be small but still a profit.

The payment is updated every 4 hours in yobit. Although the reward of cryptotalk is good, if your post is only one liner and spam, you will ended got banned by yahoo as manager. So it's better make sure your history post is good enough to avoid getting banned

You can always do that if you have knowledge on how to track a good and a bad project, and you can always share to the community about your findings like what other members here are doing, if you find out that the project is a fake one and a potential scam, you can post it in the scam section, and if you found a good project you can also share it in the altcoin discussion, sharing is caring and we need members who can do this.

I have always been following the ico project since I first entered the world of crypto, but since the beginning of 2019 until now we have encountered a lot of fake projects and only a few are really real and can make money.  The gift will always be there regarding the potential or not of the gift that makes us always careful to join in an ico project.  Keep hunting for the gift of friends, good luck always with us.

Many more scamming projects are simply approaching and its getting more tougher to choose the real potentially developers that have good plans regarding to what they are offering from the market. It's your own way of analyzing and understanding every projects that you think that have the qualification base from the your observation and research. Do your best to keep your searching positively.

Just seeing bounty campaign right now and there is one bounty campaign that I got interested namely BOUNTY Gold Stable coin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5164058.0) at least if you join to this campaign you will get money consistently per months. Because there is some exchange who can use to trade, buy and sell and change it to money fiat.

But with another bounty campaign I still doubt it, you may get token as you wanted when the distribution comes but you may not necessarily get the profit as you wanted. So, don't be weird when you see bounty campaign and the bounty manager just pick several member to promote it because it will be a lot of member that want to join.

This is the hardest part on where you do make some verification when it comes if the project is legit or not.
We know that scammers are becoming smarter as the days goes by where they can even create projects which can
really fool out people  even how hard you do make some research.They do know how to make a project seems to be
realistic thats why there are still scams do exist continually.

Even if you have the right knowledge to track a good bounty project some of them still not that good after the token got listed. I think this is the riskier part of being a bounty hunter and if you are the investor it still not guaranteed that you will be successful too. I guess picking a good bounty project depends on everyone's luck.

If the ICO project is valid and worthy to make our investment such project's ICO are good to pur our investment. Then we people need to check the worth of bounty by analysing the team details and white paper.
These things alone will make you understand whether they are worthy to work on such projects.

You can't be sure even though you have checked all of the team and their project nowadays. You might be find an interesting project with good team member and promising project, but aftee you joined on their bounty for several months, you only get paid less than yoi expected because the token already got dumped when it first listed on exchange. Better to avoid any kind of ICO/IEO bounties

I don't see some bounties for now worth to join. I mean, if you are really lucky, you can get good bounty project. Like project that i joined which is MESG project, it already listed in Digifinex when distribution come. From what i see, actually it is good project. But unfortunately, their team delay distribution for who get big reward, and from what i experience is when my token come, price really down and i only can sell it in cheap price.

Wrong, you won't get MONEY consistently, you'll get tokens. And these tokens will just go down in value more and more each time you "earn" more. And even if you think the price is bad, try selling tokens like that on those tiny exchanges where the orders will get eaten up so fast you'll crash the market every time you sell.

The problem lies in the outcome of the project. They may be a top class team behind projects which had been successful previously and they are now advising a new project. But what this project will lead to is more of a gamble at these market conditions. The bear market is a test for any startup in raising money and being able to pay its employees let along pay bounty hunters - they are regarded nothing more than a bunch of sweepers cleaning up their dirt.

You end up with a pile of tokens for doing some articles, translations but end of the day its going to be worthless by the time you sell. So whats the point in doing these bounties?

And the fact that managers could get scam, I mean obviously if the company run away then he won't be paid as well unless he was being paid in advance. Otherwise, it's better if this happen in the middle of the campaign so everyone's time would be save.

Exactly. Like some already knew that icos isn't boom anymore but they still participate on those. Better yet wake up and use our time to more profitable things, ICOs are long gone and that's the reality.

Typical thing that do happen on most bounty hunters but you cant really remove into their minds on getting big money out of their bounty pay.They do think still the possibilities
just like what happened on glory days of bounty hunting where earning thousands of dollars for your work but we all know that those things arent possible as of today.
There still some good projects but majority of them are really going to be a garbage.Only a few or can be counted with your fingers for projects to succeed and spotting them
out is the hardest thing to do.

bounty will be always potential because of barter type of relationship: bounty hunter do a job for a project and get some reward in tokens, so in theory, if you can choose bounty carefully - you can get good money for an easy/funny work for you

We are choosing the bounty very carefully, but couldn't manage to find the potential company and every company seems to be very perfect in the beginning. But once after crowdsales, their attitude seems to be unexplained because they will not respond and they will reduce the reward after they raise enough amount.

Sadly that became the pattern and even we don't want to anticipate, it happens. Those companies are just good in the start like they really owe us something then after a while things turned out differently.

Well I guess you're lucky to still find those bounty and monetize it but pretty sure only 1 out of 10 bounties could give you that but don't put your hopes too high until you sold your token with a decent value.

the choice is up to you as a participant.
but not all of the bounties promise certainty of getting paid.

Many project did tried their best but market condition is not helping at all, it would have been better if altcoin season is around, good projects like filesfm failed to raised softcap, i was shocked though

Sad fact!

This is the reality on bounty hunting where you do find that most projects you are trying to search are almost look legit all of them but if
you do make research thoroughly you can really see the flaws and shady acts.This wouldnt take too much time but people do still neglect this very basic thing.
Bounty hunting isnt completely dead yet but i would say that it isnt worth already for the time and hardwork.

It all started last year when the market's condition wasn't so great and many ICOs stopped their sale for the 2nd half of the year because it's no longer in favor to them. I still don't think that even the altcoin season comes, these projects will be ignored by most investors as they'll go directly buy the coins and tokens on exchange and have it on their own instead of joining the sale. Countless projects stopped because the investors sentiment was very low.

ico is over, sone bounty are still potential but onoy few of them , better to look a good project before joining cause most bounty these days are scam.

sometimes some good projects also fail. it's hard because the trust of investors has declined, they prefer investing in IEO, maybe bounty IEO is a little better, try it.
but doing bounties right now like you are gambling. the results are not certain, even working 1 month you may not be able to earn. a good potential is to join a bounty that pays with bitcoin.

Bounties that pays with bitcoin don't just happen, you might not see any for months, IEO projects are still trying their best but developers needs to wise up and build projects that will no how not interest investors

ICO's who provides chances for the hunters are no longer profitable as before, unlike 2017 where many of those introduce coins got the investors support that they've needed it's  easy for them to released rewards to their participants, but now that period has long been forgotten most of the
projects are no longer giving rewards some distribute but almost no value from the market.

I see at this time on the special bounty thread, I refreshed the browser. It doesn't look like there is a new signifying the death of ICO and Bounty, we know that all this time the project is waiting for the market to really bounce back, so many projects die too so many bounty hunters stop, when I see that some projects still look the same and don't have good potential going forward

There will be new ways for crowd funding that may pop along the way. Like how IEO appears but still many do shady things on it. The only way for us to invest in right project now is when they are registered in their country and have a better project plans so bounty will be beneficial again.

Even with proper registration and legal papers have on their team, it wouldn't define the success of the project. Because anytime despite of having all of those legal matters, they can't predict the favor of the people. If each of their investors start to dump their token, they will be affected by it no matter what legal papers they'll show to the people. Everyone is becoming wiser this time, they don't want to get in the middle of these projects and have nothing tomorrow.

I have no longer dare to take part in the ICO bounty, because my experience did not get paid properly from the ICO project this year, maybe for IEO bounty I still follow it and do the work, but I also do not know whether IEO project Which I follow this can pay worthily anyway. I just hope and pray that the project I follow can produce worthily, although is not a big result. Because we must know that this year there will be no project that pays as big as in 2017-2018.

Following the ICOs is unnecessary if you aim to join the bounty campaigns. The main problem is the delaying bounty payments which are promised to distribute before the token sale. They don't give the exact deadline and add extra weeks for getting the maximum gains from the bounty participants. This year was the worst due to the scam bounty campaigns and the delaying bounty rewards by the bounty managers.

It's harder nowadays to make money by bounty hunting. The good ICO projects are limited, and the payment to bounty participants is taking a longer time. In addition, even if you receive your payment, you have to wait for several additional months until the token gets listed in exchanges.
