Once upon a Time in every bounty life these makes you very bullish on new coins,
1. Well known advisors
2. Burning remaining unsold token after ICO
3. Team Locks their own tokens for years

And now the game have changed a lot, if the following doesn't happen well may God help you

1. List on top exchanges like OKEX, Binance or gate.io
2. Coin already trading and have good volume
3. Promotion has very limited reward for promoters
4. Highly demands for the coin or token

What do you think? Drop your thoughts

The times have indeed changed and it's great to see the community/people learning from the mistakes in the past, and adapting to our current meta right now. Very interesting points because some of them are true, but now, those locked tokens, burn, etc. is no longer enough for people to trust your project.

Coin offerings have improved too, from the usual ICO, to STO, and now IEO's. We're also in an era where the technology itself has been continuously improved, people can even now build their own custom blockchains or digitize any assets (https://www.avalabs.org/?utm_source=lx) with arbitrarily complex rulesets. We can now smell scams and projects that have no clear intentions miles away.

Honestly I've gotten tired of projects with burn token and advisors like John McAfee, it doesn't work anymore, everything seem adjusted and many have learned, most of the projects hyped by advisors in the past are dead already because the lack of interest is present

Those advisor is not really help the project sometimes they are the reason's why the price of that token deacrease in just a moment without even distributing to hunter's thier payment.


Also the new way with only small rewards will not attract bounty hunter's to continue advertising a project. The smaller the rewards the lessen the member who want to participate.

What we need is better use cases that people around the world will definitely benefits from and very responsible team work too, this two thing is what makes a good crypto project today, if I have to add more it will be better partnerships, but my first two points lays the foundation

What should make an investor bullish is a project with an actual real world application and it not being a duplicate of an already existing project. Anything beyond these, the project can only survive for so long before it starts to go under.
Project developers can use any of these methods listed as a means of attracting investors and yet still creating a useless coin.

I would advice everyone to stay away from ICOs, STOs or IEOs, a very huge percentage of them turn out to be scams or poorly organized projects.

I think it is wrong to join a bounty just because they have well known advisors, that does not translate to a good product or project.
Also, i think it is wrong to join a bounty because they have an oncoming burn, hbrs token did a swap and a burn and the token has still remained a shit.

Joining a bounty because it is on top exchanges, trading with good volume is a chance i reckon with, and make sure the high volume translate to a very high buy orders daily, else you will earn peanuts.

Neutrally, i think high demands for a token means it is a good product, hence leads to increase in price and value.

I rather think that new way is more of deception, it is filled with hype and scam. Their are more scam projects now than even before. I consider 2017 as old way but hunters and investors made reasonable money from their time and investment but from 2019 to now, I doubt if money is being made but more of volume drop and price diminishing.

Because everything change also in cryptocurrency.
Do you think that there are also lot of money are being scammed before, while some are earning huge money?
I think today is better than before. Because today, most of the projects now are kinda legit continue to progress.
While if you see some shitcoins, they are gone or starting to fade away.

times are changing, and they are changing fast, more people is now introduced to crypto than two years ago, and with more people, more scammers as well, so to speak, investors and bounty hunters learned eventually something from their mistakes, and this puts hurdle up for new projects to be visible and recognized as good

It is normal that investors are wise now in the previous Bullrun we have learn our lessons. Those ICO's days are gone and will never come back, it has been damaged by scam/fraud projects. Now if I heard about ICO it does not interest me at all unless a well-known company is launching it or has some legit big partners but it is very rare to happen right now.

Most bounty hunters want the assurance of the bounty that they join. If it happens to be listed on any exchange and that's something that passes their standards because it's hard to find projects that lists their tokens on known exchanges.

Time has changed a lot so don't think that things from the past will comeback.

True, projects that rely on advisors such as John McAfee will no longer function at this time, because investors have learned a lot and have a lot of experience too from previous things, so they will not be affected again by the words of the advisor.

Investors have learned from past mistakes, back then you will see investors rushing to buy a coin or token because a well known person hyped the project on the internet or a popular man becomes the project advisor, that doesn't work anymore, things have changed

All of that has changed since the ICO fraud occurred because some hunters considered that the bounty now needed a long time.

Old bounty
1. Fast sales even in a few days
2. Not long bounty only takes a few weeks
3. A good developer and also serious in handling it
4. Teap entry and the price according to what is expected and therefore many hunters are happy.

Bounty now
1. Sales do not reach targets (even fail)
2. Bounty takes a long time and is also waiting for distribution for months
3. The team always stall for time (that's what always upsets the community)
4. At the end of the scam and the hunters do not accept anything even after months of promoting it.

You are right, now the hype of a new project that is able to anesthetize investors with a strategy to establish cooperation with large exchanges such as Binance, okex, bittrex or others. because now the fundraising system is done through IEO with a fairly short duration. Advisors are not an attraction for newly built projects.

Once upon a time people use to earn a lot from Bounty projects but now a lot of them use to be scammers, a Bounty projects success depends on the exchange listing. People have lost faith in Bounty projects these days and crypto exchanges are dying but they won't fade away.

Obviously, the two basic points are the most important among those that are important for each project, because they are the foundation for strengthening the project in the long run, because with these two things can also add new partners to the project itself.

because many people see the opportunity to earn making an ICO thats why more of them ended up to be scam, becasue the founder of that ICO doesnt have any idea how to make business they all think its easy to make a project by having a money that why they asked for money for ICO. They dont realise there are also many things need to considered if they dont want to end thier project.

I recently saw a Hitmex bounty campaign. there also everything was very positive on these points, but now the campaign has turned out to be a scam. The project has already been even on coinmarketcap. Now everything is very incomprehensible. it is not known which project will be really good. but I prefer to participate in projects where payment occurs every week.

There are hardly any projects which come up to be a potential project with good vision for the future.
Besides that, if they don't have the necessary fundamentals as mentioned in OP they are bound to lose their opportunity of being successful in the market.
I guess the bounty days are going to end soon.

The excess token left from IEO needs to be addressed in coming months, why produce such high token when you wont need it, sometime less than 50% token are sold in IEO. Such fraction cant be good for token economics. Though IEO had replaced ICO, It makes it more difficult to monitor coin transferred to exchanges and we know how fraudulent our exchanges had been. Team are now used to dumping locked coin in the market when they need fund. They do that without any consideration for investors and such keep affecting new project from convincing investors.

What is clear is that the current project cannot be confirmed as good from the start, but we should be able to see at the end that always ends with a scam.

Altcoin bounty is now rarely paid weekly unless the BTC signature signature campaign is paid weekly.

Now all is different,  at the moment it is very difficult to find a good bounty. Most of bounty tokens after listed on the exchange the price will fall and the job as a bounty hunter looks like nothing.

Like you already pointed out, things have changed and bounty hunters are more wiser now, back I'm 2017/18 the first 3 options where the point to look out for when selecting a  bounty but since those days have gone, too many bounties too ended as scams or exit scams,
Even the project owners have to step up their game, otherwise you and your project will be left hanging, hunters will not show much interest.

It means you are not very good at doing research, any bounty expert would easily know that HITmex exchange is fake and even the bounty manager in charge of the bounty project is a big scammer and he was busted already with over 17 btt accounts, learn to DYOR

Yes, you got the point. The situation changed a lot and now people are well experienced than ever before. People now don't rely on so-called expert or advisor, they looking after the big exchange, good volume and use cases! That's why no ICO project would be successful gin and a project without zero use cases won't attract the bounty hunters and investors. Mate, your title and text seem different, maybe you should change the title of the thread!

Absolutely! Hitmex bounty was shit from the beginning and I have seen some expert kept talking against that scam exchange! Even there are some threads where OP proved how Hitmex is a scam project. The good thing is Kakatua the scammer bounty manager is finished for good and bad thing is a Hero member of this forum can't research well!

The era of HYIP has stopped, no influencer these days. Your project must prove it can bring a real-time solution and not building castle in air or growth progression we want to see how your project can better or improve the system we are all contributing to its growth.

Things has really changed and it has made it difficult for people to be scammed except for greedy ones. It has become a thing of struggle for many project to survive. Only real good project are surviving now even if they dont list on top exchange

Perhaps this is a way to reduce the number of fraud projects at the moment, and I think this method is quite successful since the IEO first took place when the exchange with the project worked, but the results were not in the long run so good because the exchange wasn't very good either.
Maybe there will be a new path next year or in the future. We simply follow the prevailing trends.

Sit back and relax, watch the glory days of crypto currency and blockchain technology return, crypto currency is going through difficult time follow the coronavirus outbreak and I have a strong feeling that everything will fall back on track pretty soon

Yeah i feel the changing of bounty. Back in 2017 choosing bounties its not hard like this day. But, i like the point of limited participant. Cheater who have many accounts may cannot participate and the prize distributed well. I hope cryptocurrency hype return again.

It wasn't the way as before. The hype of altcoins were already faded. Potential projects were hard to survived and the success rates of new projects are low unlike before. Let's face the fact that everything will be changed the way it used to be. If before, altcoins were flying high and more investors are fond of holding more altcoins, it was lessen now.
 
 On the other hand, we can also see some improvements about the blockchain technology, about the new raised projects and other developement growth within cryptocurrency.

Tokens or coins listed at large exchangers guarantee large transactions and this can affect prices. Large exchangers carry out rigorous verification of projects to be listed and this indicates investor confidence in the project, thereby pushing up prices faster

It's sad but we really can't do anything about it. Since the 2017 boom, a lot of scammers and fraudsters took over the ICO because there's a lot of investors in the ocean during those times, not to mention that it's pretty hard for the authority to track them because of the nature of the cryptocurrency. With that, I had enough of ICOs and Bounty hunting that pays at the end of the campaign because you never know if it is a scam or not. Though I do consider some that is handled by a trusted manager.

Cryptocurrency is developing very fast and it is very good. To keep abreast of even the main events, the participants in this forum need to constantly monitor new information and constantly learn. This is very noticeable, even if you do not follow the world of cryptocurrency for several weeks. This world is very interesting and fascinating. In addition, it gives us the opportunity to make a little money. From other traditional markets, this market is characterized by great price volatility. It can only be a little boring here if the bear market drags on for too long and there are no significant events.

Things aren't going fast as before, now you have to wait for years before you get paid from bounties, funds aren't raised faster like in the past or 2017, there is dozens of one delay after the other, it seems not many are interested in new projects again

Yes, cryptocurrency is developing at a very fast pace. Only it seems stable coins have recently appeared and have already quickly occupied their niche in cryptocurrency, and without them it is not very convenient to use cryptocurrency. The appearance and disappearance of certain coins and tokens already seems commonplace. For bounty hunters, this is an opportunity to earn and also lose some of them, which will remain the usual numbers in our wallets. Well, this is life, and it is constantly changing.

That is caused by the project developer who is not responsible for the project, so that their bounty tokens that are already listed in the stock exchange lose value, because the demand is reduced and there is no repurchase from the project team.

I really feel like you said their mission is already different from the previous year, which makes us stuck to the number of participants who follow a project in the limit and there we feel confident that the project is great for We follow and the team that works in the project is definitely active, but in the end all the same is nothing we can get from the project.

Whether or not the project depends on the developer and the project team itself, if the developer and team are less concerned about the project they have built, then whatever the project will die by itself, so in this case it is more about the concern of the developer and the team towards the project

Lol, it is so sweet that you think that "old crypto ways" is the time when ICO's started. The real "old crypto ways" was publishing the wallet, that's it. One day there was no coin, then at certain hour they publish the wallet and BAM there was coin. No ico, no funding, no pre-mined ones, nothing, just out of nowhere that coin was created and you could even mine it with your laptop for the first few hours to get as much as you can.

There was no "owners" of that coin, there was no team, no advisers, nothing. Just some developers managing to build something good and published it for everyone to be equal, unlike those "old times" you talked about where the owners has ton of the coins they created. Those were the start times when bad things happened, now it just got worse.

The most annoying part about new projects today is delays, it can take more than 8months for a project to fully launch nowadays even if they've raised fund months back, it's so sick and tired some, only very few projects like temtum and tachyon never wasted any time

A lot has changed around this space what everyone looks forward to is: has this token been listed on any exchange yet? Does the team have a reputable track record in the space? What type of community does the project have?

I agree all those projects with known advisors or celebrities advisors don't live up to the expectations and become a failure. I think what really investors looking in a project something that does not brag anything and silently doing doing their job in developing the project.

Projects are highly profitable if they are unique or following the recent successful project so sticking with the old ways make the investors less interested so they are moving to new one but most of the projects are not listing their tokens on reputed exchanges so all other points becomes void so people have more chance to find good project but chances of making profits are not the same level as before.

Things hardly remain the same, as time goes on it starts to change and it’s up to us to adapt to those changes. And you know for sure why coins and tokens listed on popular exchanges has higher chances of succeeding is because those exchanges are highly trusted and when coins are listed on big exchanges they are likely to gain investors than when you list them on poor exchanges that are not even popular.

I don’t think you will be interested in trading a coin that is listed on an exchange that is known for promoting failed coins.

Most projects that front such advisors now especially McAfee are very fake and probably scam. They just use the faces of those figures to sell their projects and token. That's why it's advisable for a proper research before investing in any project whatsoever.

Both lists are actually the same thing for old and even new projects/tokens/coins who are trying to prove themselves in cryptoworld. Well, if a project needs a quick hype of course, they will use their collected funds to get listed in bigger exchanges just like what you have listed but if the team is wise enough they should allocate it to greater things such as developments on their project in that way, they can launch it sooner and for sure, holders will be the one who will benefit the most

Neutrally on true life terms. If you keep doing things the way its been done in a long time, you keep getting low values or rewards.

There's a need to do things in a new way, and to do that we need to learn new ways, new strategies, new tactics and methods to conquer our failures.

Even when it comes to research making, do it differently

It's normal to see every investment sector undergo corrections and i can confidently tell you the cryptocurrency market was well due. The early birds involved in crypto haunting are those that will be the most beneficial of it as the market will only keep getting more difficult. I think not only hunting of bounties and airdrop got a bit complicated but the whole market as even traders, investors as well as start up projects are complaining bitterly about not making enough gain. All i can wish for is for the market to experience a massive bullish run just like it did in 2017. That way, everyone even the commonest  bounty and airdrop hunters will benefit massively.

If the team behind is aiming for better outcome surely they will continue to use the money that they've collected mostly for the innovations of their project and not alone to hype their token.
Things are different nowadays as there are lots of competitions and chances of surviving for newer projects without clear path within this business is too slim unlike before that every new project are being eyed by investors.

The space has really changed or let me say matured. I could remember when Ethereum announce their partnership with Microsoft and the price when from less than $1 to over $10 within 3 months. Now if announcement like this will only resulted in pump and dump. There are so many stupid thing that happened in the space and people take it has a norm, like advisers tokens and those given to influencers, where are they now when the price of their tokens have lost more than 90% of its value

I really do prefer old crypto life than now. Back then Crypto had good potential and promoters gets to have good rewards for promoting, there was no greed in both team and promoters. CMC alone moons projects and we had less fake projects but now many issues on the space andost tokens has turned to pump and dump.

Similar projects have long been in the past.

Old man McAfee himself has compromised himself and cryptocurrencies with his loud statements.
We all thought that he was a real crypto anarchist, but in reality he turned out to be an ordinary politician who only lies.

These four points are very appropriate to be used as the basis of analysis to determine potential con and tokens. We know that this trend is constantly changing and we must be able to follow its development. We know that to be listed on a global and potential exchange is not easy, the exchange has certain conditions and criteria and is selective in doing cooperation. This makes it easier for us to find potential. But that is not a guarantee, a deeper analysis must be done, dwyor.

The project developer is who that needs to be blamed. They have received a lot of money and they didn't even wanna use some of these money to create massive advertisement to pay awareness from the adopters that are not yet known about that. As far as i know if that's really unacceptable.

Old ways will likely to occur again once we will be in bull season as that time happened last bull season but right now we are almost at the bottom meaning we are still in bear season therefore the project owners need to change their tactics in order to attract investors. ICO's were being replace by IEO's in bear season but if the bull season will happen again then I am sure that the project owners will likely to use again the ICO's and the length of fund raising will not be that long compare to this bear season.

As what I have notice, most of the successful IEO's in bear season were launch in Binance launchpad and with regards to bounty rewards I notice also that there are very few who offer a good amount as most of the rewards are playing below 100k$. I guess the project owners are afraid with dumps from bounty hunters especially that the market is not that good.

Times have changed, yesterday most people thought crypto was one way to get rich quick and they were attracted and easily cheated by scams. And now no one wants to get into the same hole a second time.
I think it has become a human nature to want to learn from their mistakes.

These are 2017 criterias during ICO most ICOs during those time are really like this plus they have potential to raise fund which is very surprising. Not so many projects now rely on these fact but,  definitely uses exchange for their IEO. Even without any team or advisors they can roll their projects already. You can really see the huge difference from before and now. I like before because only few scammer lurking but now, every aspect of crypto has scammer. Too bad.

Well, the difference from the old days compared to what we currently have right now can really be observant specially when it comes to how bounties are being run and managed as well as how the promotion for the future price value of the token created by a project is being done. The good old days are somehow which the processing on how the bounties are being managed is really organized starting from a good line up of the team, the manager, the white paper and of course the idea of the project itself is the most important. Compared to the current situation, bounties are fastly being run, the team behind a project is hardly identifiable which gives people a bad impression that all bounties are like that. Well, change is really inevitable in this industry and its been a while since the old ways of running a bounty has been done. Nowadays, it is hard to say what will be the future value of a coin if it will be valuable or not if you will not took into consideration those other elements you have said which are coin is listed in a top exchange, coin already being traded and high demands for that coin to state that it can go to bullish.

Change is constant and that’s it, things are not going to remain the same. If you find a coin with the first qualities you have mentioned now, I don’t think you will take interest in them. There are lots of projects that are not being successful these days and being listed on a big exchange gives investors hope that the project is going to be successful since there is the possibility that it is going to be traded by lots of people. Any project these days that are not listed on a top exchange will likely fail since there will not be much people trading it or making use of it.

I think people's beliefs have changed. most now want to immediately see the tokens already traded in large markets. although it is difficult to do, but it is a challenge for every developer to continue to strive to achieve this. yeah, people change, so does their system.

You're right. If people can follow the change, they will survive, and even they will have the new opportunity to make money, but if not, they will not get that opportunity as they cannot see the right path to get there. It is normal to see the change because if everything is not changing, how can we get the better than the old-time? By refreshing the system, maybe it will make people cannot stand with the new change, but it is better for them to make it better.

because many people witnessing  and also experience to be rich because they invested in crypto currency. Thats why they are more people attracted and also invested because some of thier frienda really experience to have a great profit from investing.This is also the reasons why so many scammers also go into crypto because they see the potential of crypto to use to scam. And then we see many fake and scam ICO created after the hype.

certain. registering our coins in the top markets such as binance is the best step to maintain price stability because good markets have good liquidity too. indeed the price of crypto depends on the number of transactions carried out but by registering in a good and popular market will help our coins stay seen by investors.

All of the points you bring are important but are secondary to the most important questions, what kind of problem does this coin solve? Is the use case big enough to guarantee creating a new coin at all? Are there any competitors in that field already? Is the coin innovative? Do we need a decentralized solution or a centralized solution is more effective or cheaper? The answers to those questions are what truly determines the success of a project, so even if an altcoin has all the characteristics that you specify above it will be for nothing if the answers to the questions I asked were negative and at best that coin will last for a few months or a year before disappearing.

Well things have change and bounty hunters and investors have no choice but to get used to the new ways, I guess it's because of lack of funds that's why many disappointments are fully in crypto space nowadays

personally the only lesser known altcoins who I think will make it through this pandemic, are the ones with bigger plans than just being on exchanges.
Like TEM for example, they have an LOI with Anguilla to provide them with a national digital currency and deals with more countries in the works.
This pandemic will cause most IEOs and ICOs to fail but TEM never did that, privately funded and eyes on the future

current projects are very different from previous years, especially in 2017. At that time there were many ICO projects that were very successful in the market but instead that in 2018-2019 and 2020 there were many projects appearing but not in line with our expectations. I personally prefer projects based on platforms and real concepts, I mean like project tokens that are already listed on the exchange.

This is very important, because most projects that list on shit exchange these days tend not to last long. Even if they had the good volume at the initial stage if fades off easily.

Mentioned this a little in (1). Normally, the reward for bounty hunters tend to be delayed, but in a situation where the volume is very low or when there is no volume at all, first, the team will be reluctant to send reward and even if they finally send it, without good volume, most bounty hunters will not be able to sell at a good price.

When te reward for bounty hunters is limited, it limits the supply even after the hunters might have been paid. So, there is no fear of the price dump.

A high demand results in a higher price. If the demand for the coin or the product that uses the coin increases, there is bound to be increased price with time.

I think when there are too many cryptos out there, people nitpicking and demand more and more. Although I can't say those demand good enough to curb the scam one but it shows people definitely smarter than they used to be.

For me the gift program is still the first choice. because through this gift program we can have the opportunity to get good coins later. although basically the gift given by the owner is not in accordance with what we do

Fraudsters moving to cryptography primarily because it is a new and unknown medium.
The less a person understands the environment in which he is located, the easier it is to deceive him. Any new sphere of life, as a rule, is full of scammers and scammers, of course, provided that there is no regulation.

cryptos were not unkown now because the longer it exist the more its easier for it to be used because many guides released in a simplified manner also many wallets and other crypto services are now becoming more user friendly  .

 its also strange that a person will try something that he isnt famiiar with even if he knew the dangers that sorounds it  but even familiar cryptoers still got scammed too sometimes   . accidents like this still just happens  .

Early investors are wiser now and the days where crypto advisors or influencers have a huge impact on projects are over. The way investors choose project is bound to change since projects are being more competitive and how crypto market is advancing changes how projects will deliver their product for investors. I hope that as time goes by people will no longer be victimized by scam projects.

And how many of those "old tokens" that you are talking about actually manged to stay alive on the market? How many of those tokens that went through "burning process" to increase price and demand, actually managed to still hold their price? Lets be real over here, almost none. All those "old crypto ways" you are talking about are just some regular stunts being pulled out by the developers so people starts to think that the price will increase, which in turn makes those people invest on those coins.
The old crypto way faded away once people started to realize this.

Scamming will only be stopped if people particularly newbies study first the project deeply before investing. Competitions are already very close today since out of 10 projects, i guess only 3-4 are legit and the rest are already scammed projects. Time has really changed the crypto market. If before we can still trust those crypto ways, now it's different already.

The crypto market is filled with thousands of cryptocurrencies, coupled with the prolonged bear run a lot of investors have turned away from investing in new project and this has halted the growth of new coins.

Funny enough, it is the projects that made it look that way, when they care only about their pockets what then is expected of everyone. Before now, most new projects were trusted but nowadays they are acting otherwise and now it's getting worse and hence what majority of people are after is, is the IEO on top exchange? Is it listed on top exchanges?. The reason is simple, that is, it shows a certian level of commitment from the team. Also, your last point about highly demands for the coin or token, actually only few coins can boast of this and a good percentage (maybe 95%) comes from old coins and 5% comes from new coins.

I wonder if they really burned most of the tokens left after their ICO or they locked their tokens to what they have upon agreed during ICO phase of then project. Yeah It does not work that way anymore, even if project has reputable or celebrity endorsers does not necessarily mean that it would be a huge success.

Now some projects are listed on the market first. I don't know what that means, but it looks like they still need a big doctorate. That is why they organize promotions in this forum.
I see several new projects that have been released and are still running bounty and airdrop programs.

Too many failed ICOs have caused bounty hunters to change, that's obvious. I see that is a positive signal when the bounty hunter becomes wiser, that will also reduce fraud projects.

Their way nowadays became popular because of its effectiveness to the investors and less percentage of scam. that's why most people wanted to join some bounties that have been offered this way. the only downside is still there, we still don't know if that bounty will be successful until they give us our payment. because mostly after we receive their payment the price is already been cut down to -50%.

Yes, and this kind of thing has also happened in 2018, where many bounty hunters don't work in bounties anymore because there are many scam projects, so they prefer to leave the bounty and go the other way, and I think this is also very wise.

It is natural for investors to turn away from investing in new projects, because they are also often deceived by new projects so they make steps to withdraw themselves in new projects and choose projects that are completely clear.

Your third point does not always hold. A typical example of it is Cartesi.
Cartesi allocated 0.1% of the total supply for the bounty pool. Everyone expected that the price will be more than what it is today. Although it pumped, it plummeted by more than half of the ATH. Nobody knows what the price will be tomorrow.
I believe that the strategy they used was to limit the circulating supply and to prevent the sales by bounty hunters from causing so much dump. The hunters are yet to be paid, but the price... Hmmm.
All things being equal, if there is big news, things might get better.

I would prefer if the bounty is now not followed by many people, because with the least participating in the bounty,
the allocation will also be greater for those who join,  ;D

Now everything has changed. Because scammers have taken huge amount of money through ico. There is no such thing as a well known advisor, everyone is busy for making money. They have been able to make money before becoming advisors, and they have helped scammers to easily scam investors. Now everything is not the same as before, investors no longer want to invest like before. As a result, new icos come up with different strategies to raise funds. They create hype in the first place, as if investors are interested in investing and they raise good amount of fund. I think this is the reason.

Things have changed and as it stands it's getting to survival of the fitest. That's the way it needs to be for the right correction to be made. We only need good project.

Like seriously, this is how time flies. In today's crypto space, what matters stems from the team's choice of exchange listing most especially. Everyone wants to invest in a project with good choices of exchange listings. Same as hunters would also dive into such projects. Time is fast flying.

This actually saddens my heart but we have no option than to keep pushing but for the fact crypto we saw few years back isn't as before again doesn't mean people are not benefitting from bounty or Cryptocurrency. Best is to always study best to earn as people are earning daily bases.

this depends on how the development of cryptocurrency when many people are still making cryptocurrency to commit fraud and scam to many people and make the name cryptocurrency to be bad then it is certain that cryptocurrency will not have long life.

This is logical, because many projects and their coins are useless. Therefore, it is quite common that old coins disappear. They just become uninteresting to people, their time is running out.

We will rarely find a good project anymore, I just thinking most of good project have created and the project have been listed on some exchange. They still have a good value and can be used by most people in this world. As you compare know when we consider that the project is good but at the end the price's project is low and even the project doesn't have value anymore.

But most of them are listed on shitexchange. This is just a marketing strategy, I think, to provide added value that tokens or coins from the project already exist in the market. That makes investors and bounty hunters interested, but in fact, there is a lot of manipulation there. So, even if the token or coin has been registered in the market, it is not a guarantee that it is legit.

Manipulation can be occur everywhere. We should aware for it.  Strategy also need in crypto because so many project that wrap in great promotion. The vanish of old coin is normal condition too. It just the matter of time.

but sometimes projects that have already entered the market may not necessarily send bounty's coins to be sent according to schedule because I have participated in 2 projects that have entered the market and both are still delaying sending bounty's coins on the grounds that the market is bad

Yes, a new marketing strategy to gather many investors and bounty hunters to promote the project, but even if the coins were listed in an exchange, there are times that the end result of the campaign will just the same as before because they often dump the value of the coin only to benefit themselves and leave bounty hunters and investors receive nothing but a shitcoin.

This just means that promotion is becoming easier for new projects cause no need to high expensive advisors just to shill their project and no need to launch a bounty campaign here. Cause they can just pay the exchange and make the promotion there without any hassle on their part. Since IEO introduced, only few rely on bounty and you can bet that most of them are not legit and just trying to cash some tokens. Anyway, for me bounty hunting is not good anymore and effective. The payment is too low compared to last 2017. If I were you. I will learn useful skill that can be used to earn some money. Dont expect anymore on altcoin campaigns.

All of old cryto is not fades away, Most of the old crypto are trustable. But there are some project which is fake. And obviously my current bounty are good. But you should be research the project when you start the trading.

It's not all but the majority of old crypto have gone dude. You can see how numeraire has become a good coin in the past and it has already turned into the crap coin right now.

I guess this is not the only one but there was a lot of old coins that already death like namecoin too.

indeed listing on large exchanges such as binance makes tokens will be in demand, but actually the project is indeed good and not a bad project, so the criteria for large exchanges also projects must be good.
and now many projects are doing promotions such as bounties and airdrops after they are listed on the market first

A lot has changed so fast actually well the old cryptocurrency initial coin offering wasn't healthy for the cryptosystem anymore because of too many scams, if talking about the bounty program also then hunters actually abused this program so we expected the new system to eradicate the bad done from the old system but then the bounty program was not left out.

Well yes and now. It's true that the old habits are no longer here and yet scammers are still around coming with new ways of deceiving the investors. On the other part we have good projects that won't even get close to soft cap in order to start what they worked for and after this we have the projects that have gathered enough money to start their project but they lack a good team , a proper vision, a working MVP and some of angel investors want the quick $ after the project is launched...so yea this game will never end, we just have to be cautious where and when to invests.

I don't know. The demand for instant profit is what forces at least 1-3 above, and probably 4, too. And the possibility of instant profit has no bearing really on the overall quality and potential of a project. The reason I pulled 4 in there too is that a lot of demand is driven by seekers of instant profit.

It is possible to have a fantastic idea with a fantastic use case that is truly game-changing, and yet not have any of 1-3 above, which in turn lessens 4 as well. I read that it costs $500k to get listed on Binance. Really if a young project has a lot of potential, they should put that money into development rather than placate the demands of traders.

It's hard to say, but I think the market now is changing, and some old coin or old project has replaced with the new project which can give profit for people. Yes, we need to research the project, whether it is an old or new project because that is the only thing that we need to do to find the right project to invest or to trade. But the old coin still tries to survive in the bear market, and I think they already make some preparation for the next bull run, and I hope that some of the altcoins can increase higher.

Many people learn from experience and that is why the old crypto is no longer functioning properly, well-known advisors are not an excuse will many people will be interested in investing. due to the fact that projects that are known as advisors are only garbage projects
Different eras, will be different ways to attract investors

That's how it's meant to be, nothing really stays forever, as time goes on things change. If you keep judging a project with the first features you have mentioned, although the first point is good, that project will still be more likely to fail. Even the projects that are listed on big exchanges still fail sometimes not to talk of those that are not listed on a good exchange.

The worst part of it is when the exchange is known for listing for scam projects. Exchange has its own way of promoting a project by displaying it to its wide audience. And when the investors notice there is a growth in the project they will start investing in it and that will help it grow even more.

There is a big difference between now and two year ago. Bounty hunters used to get regular payment from almost every bounty but now we don't receive payment almost every bounty. So if bounty hunters see a project listed in exchange either payment is low, they try to join the project as they think that they will receive payment that can be sold.  Now we are tired of scam projects.

who does not want to get a definite payment, even if a small amount will be obtained? but when they are listed on the exchange there will be potential for prices to rise or fall. all are risks depending on how good we are.

I dont agree with you, you cant say if that the risks will depend on us caused by the team was doing their job properly and the project could attract a lot of interest. The main problem was on the team itself and the implementation of their ideas.

I think it's time to change the mindset of everyone, especially those who create a project they have to really do well without continuing to think of quick profits and then leave. This year many projects are good and they are starting to realize, but there are still many scam project.

I think the aspect of good exchanges is important nowadays, because most projects hardly survives without it and at least gives the idea that the project will worth something when distribution is done. Of course listing on good exchanges will result to good volume which is also very important while making decisions. The old ways faded away or are fading away because most projects only uses it to attract investors and nothing more therefore resulting in low value sooner than later.

These days people have become really smart than before caused by mostly people just see the project based on the product. The fact if majority of old coins have created nothing and that makes so many people that aware about the importance of product to move into the new project that gives a better prospect.

I think the crypto game has changed a lot for good,the recent changes is a welcome development,the highlighted items have really encouraged bounty hunters and investors to fully participate in bounty and ICO projects that have these listed points on ground. One of the most listed items is the listing of coins or tokens on top exchanges

as I said before that fraud projects will always exist in this industry and cannot be completely eliminated. we are in a crypto room full of risks and also unpredictable. as project promoters, we can only do research and avoid suspicious projects.

All the scam came up and people confuse about all the projects that exist.  The risk can be happen in every task of life even in crypto world. Research and deep analyzing is the most important step before joining the projects.

Times have indeed changed. Unfortunately, even with those qualities you have listed, it still doesn't mean the coin or token will do well or reward the investors. It's all a game of chance and pure luck at the moment. Nothing is as good as it used to be anymore. Unless something drastic happens or changes, most of the upcoming projects will have no interest from investors anymore. No one is will to invest substantial money on a chance situation.

Time pass by and many changes happened advisors nowadays was nothing even if it was popular they didn't believe again on the same tactics that they are using on it they are searching for new hype where they can ride on it  and where they can take some profit, well promotion now they pay small amount because they already know that their IEO would be successful.
