For Newbie How check Which bounty program is good or which one is Scammed and i have heard that many good ICO still not launching there coins

Try join their telegram groups, read their partnership, check how many highly ranked forum members are joing the bounties.


Check the ANN thread, these are just mere speculations and assumptions. An avoided project can turn out to shock everyone. It is all crypto.

check all their social media, reviews if there  are reviews, website as well.. but some projects seem to be legit but in the end their scam.. i should even you have checked all you cannot say at all if they are legit

There are so many criteria, one of them is who's handling the bounty campaign, there are bounty manager that protect the reputation of their services and we have seen legit bounty campaign are under highly reputable bounty manager, another one, the project passed all legit test, like whitepaper not copy paste from old or already existing projects, the people behind the projects also counts.

You can't simply say this is good project and this is bad, you need to have clear knowledge about crypto currency to know the project launched is good or bad.In beginners section you can find lot of tips so make sure you read them to get an idea about cryptos.

If you see their teams getting pictures on the google lol. Have you guys already saw this foolishness of the project where they get random pictures on the internet claiming it was their team? then searching a "man with suit" or a "women in formal" you'll get the same pictures? haha, but this is an old trick that is easy to check even you are newbie with common sense. These days it is really hard to face check if the project is a scam or not, some might fall under scam project if they weren't successful.

So many projects are busted doing this  :D they do modification but the real pictures can be traced I'm glad that we have fellow members who are good in tracing if a project is using a photoshopped pictures of their team, sometimes they hire people to be part of their team and creating titles for them, this too can be busted easily.

Many things to consider when you choose an ICO good or bad, like from manager who handles their bounty, plagiarism website content and whitepaper on their project, fake developer/teams behind the project and etc. The simple way is you just to avoid ICO/bounty which has an accusation on the Scam accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board.

You can learn from these guides below to check an ICO good or not.

• A simple search could save lot of money from ICO scammers (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5042574.0)
  
• 🌍 Guidelines, how to spot a scam ICO & report effectively. ✔ (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5004397.0)

newbies should start from the beginning to learn what is cryptocurrency and have a better understanding of it then you will proceed to investment criterias and how to filter good projects from bad projects. most project with working products have integrity and are usually committed to their work.

it is very difficult to determine a good bounty and scam but at least with us see the bounty manager who manages the campaign we can avoid the scam campaign even though this is not a guarantee and again we also have to do our own research before joining the team checking on the project

Looks like the ICO hype is over. Now, the crazy money is accumulating behind DeFi. :)

It depends on your own research and analysis but good ico projects, therefore, the bounty campaigns have the following key points:
1) A practical project with a lot of use cases.
2) The project will be well capable to generate revenue and sustain its business model after full development.
3) The team is experienced, competent and proactive.
4) The community is in good numbers, supportive, and passionate about the project.
5) If the project is an IEO then it should be hosting at a reputable exchange platform.

Some red flags which suggest not to invest or promote a project:
1) Copy-paste material found on website or whitepaper.
2) The project is a copycat of another project.
3) Team pictures are fake or social media profiles are new.
4) The team is not clear about serious questions asked in the telegram group directly by members or if the team does not take commitments seriously.
5) Bounty campaign rules or reward is not clear or hired bounty manager does not have a good track record.

I have tried to keep it short and simple, I hope you will learn a thing or two from my comment.

There is no more ICO projects pal, new projects don't use ICO for fundraising anymore, we only have IEO now, there are scam IEO projects too and all you need is to do good research on team and project use case

It is not good ICOs if they have not listed their coins on the trusted exchange with high volume. And this era, ICO has ended and no more good ICO so far. The project must be willing to have the exchange listing for crowdfunding. This is the only way to attract the investors. You will not be able to reach new investors if you still use ICO.

About the bounty program, well, I suggest you use the search feature on this board and look for what to do to choose the best bounty.
As you know, the best bounty is the one that pays you in BTC or fixed coins, not their token. Therefore, try to get them. but of course, ranking up your rank is the most important thing at first.

You should identify the project first whether if it's a good project or not. You can see this from how active the community that supports the project. You can also take the whitepaper as indicator to determine how good the project was.

This is the main thing that can be seen from any projects too and then you can start to determine whether it's a good project or not.

If you are a newbie, it better for you to go to Beginners & Help (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=39.0) before learning about how to find good ICO and participating in a bounty. Why do I suggest it to you? Because I was also the same as you in the past time, I really want to earn money from bounty without lending it first, and then I only focus on the bounty. This was false. I should learn it from the basics here, how to be a good member that can contribute well to this forum so that as one of the impacts, I could get the merits to rank up. However, it is only one of the impacts. the most important thing by learning from the Beginners & Help section is that you can find so much information about what to do as a newbie, how to rank up, rule, regulation in this forum, about the scam, and also important information about this forum and crypto world. So, never lazy to learn first. For, during reading, you can find a lot of information that you need and you can decide what to do next, which project to participate, and which one to avoid.

Second, during the time, when you have been giving more contribute in this forum, you don't only get the knowledge and ways to choose the legit bounty but also get your rank up. SO, you can participate in the legit bounty easily. You know, right now, there are many campaigns that are paid in BTC. You can also be one of the participants although there are many competitors. So, try your best.

ANd about the ICO, I think that ICO has been ended. If you are going to join a bounty, you must choose the projects that have an exchange for listing, IEO may be better to choose. But of course, analyze their projects, whitepaper, and also what exchanges they list.  

There are many ways like checking the ratings, how active it is,  or if the project is unique and not just beating the air. But the easiest way for newbies to check good bounties is to know if the bounty manager is reliable or not. 

Checking the ratings you mean the ico ratings? I think it is not recommended since ico ratings were being paid to give positive feedbacks without knowing if they really are. Besides, there are some few members here that posted an overview list of exchangeable bounty campaign or those bounty programs that can be good enough to participate with. See the link here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232710.msg54025514#msg54025514 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5232710.msg54025514#msg54025514)

It's not an easy work to find out which project is legit and ehich one scam. However, scam projects have some common silly mistakes. Most of the scam projects use fake team. So, check if their team is fake or real. If real, the chance of being legit is high.

Rating website never do research while giving feedback. They just list it in their website. On the other hand, project pays for listing on the rating sites to get traffic.

For you to know what is a good and bad ICO. Look mainly to what they are proposing to the community. If it guarantees profit for most investors, you must be scared of it. You know what? there's no such investment that will guarantee their investors. It's just an attractive word so that people will invest to them that have the feeling of making easy money and getting back their returns quickly. If the project you are interested in is like that, then think twice.

At present it is very rare to find good ICO / IEO, on average they are a scam. If you are looking for a bounty project to follow, all you have to see is whether the token has been traded. Because at this time it is very difficult to find a newly born project, whose tokens have not yet been traded.

In order to evaluate a good or bad project, the investor needs to evaluate the community of the project because if many people are operating there and discussing, the project is being interested by a lot of investors. However, it is not possible to evaluate this whole way, and it is advisable to check the project whitepaper, then question the project to see how they respond.

When the token has already traded on the exchange site and that brings more guarantee to the hunters to get their payment or at least if that will be decreasing the chance for them to be scammed or got zero payment.
In another case a project with strong fundamental can be considered as a good choice too.

Simply, if you want to know the scam project you can check in scam accusation board https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0 there are some users who revealed the scam project that held bounty program in this forum. Also, if you want find a good project you can also search some guides in this forum or you can find in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228629.0

for new people, maybe by looking at people's comments and seeing the participants in it. other than that, try to look at the bounty manager, there are a number of bounty managers currently recommended. other than that, now it's very rare for a good ICO, but you can choose a good IEO instead. in addition, the most basic assessment is to look at where the sale will be made.

You need to have a good eye and a good experience to find out scam projects but till that time, rely on fellow users who would definitely point out if they see something strange. Look at the announcement threads, any of them if self moderated, they are outright scam, and for others, view the comments and discussion about the project. There would be many people asking and answering, that would give you some insights.

You are right. now maybe ICO is no longer popular. IEO which is becoming popular nowadays also doesn't absorb many successful projects. some doing IEO on exchanges with small volumes declared a success. but after their coins are traded the value disappears and as if there is no further development. see the exchange where IEO is indeed very important.

For ICO project I think there is no longer anyone who can be trusted, investors and Bounty hunters have lost their trust in ICO project, so it's better now for beginners to just join to IEO project, But you also have to see a good IEO project, which is listed on a large Exchange.

True! ICO project is no longer a choice for me anymore. I have turned my back with them since I got scammed more than 3 times even with some "trustworthy" ICO projects. IEO is better, however, it still contains the risk of being scammed. Stay calm and be wise guys!

Thanks alot for giving me a such valuable information and I will do my best and follow the rule and regulations of the form and learn from beginners section

I back good thinking in IEO and I never choice ICO for a project at this time. If you wanna participate a bounty then you can joined IEO bounty. Otherwise you should long analysis a project when you get a project bounty.

but not all scam projects will be there, there are only scam projects from the beginning not the scam when the campaign ends, maybe the OP is asking for a campaign that guarantees to pay the hunter and really develop the project

It's not easy to determine what a good or bad ICO will be.
It requires deep analysis until you find signals if it is a scam or not.

First, go to their whitepaper. It should not look like a copy of another ICO.
You could contact some veterans in this field to pinpoint legitimacy. Especially those who have been reading a lot of whitepapers, someone with experience.
Take some time to look at the team too. Better if you could find a way to video call them.
There had been a history of ICO created by students who used photos and information of their professors as the team behind the ICO.

Dig more.

TBH you would have to research the project on your own before joining them because there are loads of scam projects these days. Also, joining campaigns of reputable BM could help you.

before yes but this year , many ico are now bad and its easy to tell   . no one wants to join a bad ico so people differentiate it already for others that are going to join .

video calling the team would be hard if your just an ordinary person .  legit checking the whitepaper is hard too but we dont also want to pay for someone to investigate it  . not to mention that takes time too

this is interesting but this ico were also tagged as scam  ? or maybe this is one of thier projects for educational purpose only   .  they use others people pic because they are still young and ivestors will less likely believed on them  .

in the first place, i dont think investing in ICO is still worth these days. there may be few good projects, but i dont see any project worth investing as most of them have indefinite timeline of their goals. so if you are an investor, you have no idea when will your funds will get back or if ever it will ever get back!
so nope, dont waste your time for projects that have vague goals with unknown timelines...

many bounty campaign already traded in market, no matter it have low volume and low price or not. bounty campaign from ICO project now very rare, most of them now launch IEO in exchanges, so investors trust increase because of this and scam possibility decrease alot.

There are many criteria to check if the bounty is good or not. One of that is the product they offer if it can solve real problem. Then the team, its important to have a transparent team and indicated their past works, having a previous successful project they handle is much better. A manager who will manage the bounty is an indication as well to know if the project is good because reputed manager wont manage a shady project.

Depend with roadmap and how tak care their promise during ICO running, will they listed coin at exchange on time or miss from their planning before ICO start selling, I found many ICO developer miss out their promise by delay listing on exchange and always make bad rule when trying for listing on market exchange.

Any new ICO will require proper research cause there are very few ICO in this space lately. Most of the private campaign for ICOs are scam, the era is more of a private sale and exchange listing especially for highly rated projects, no assurance of the time for traders to purchase, this even make it difficult to rely on the price of the coin at market entry. We have seen more terrible dump this year with some new project and cant rule out the team's and investors dump.

Starting with your title, the rate at which bad ICOs were encountered was much when compared to good ICOs hence the reason all ICOs were seen as being fraudulent until proven otherwise. Secondly, about checking good bounty programs, it is more like checking the project itself because if the project is good then the bounty will be good as well. And to do this, you need to visit the project to understand more about the team and their experiences, you need to know if their use case is applicable or not, know their partners if any, activeness of their social media channels and most importantly the community is also good to look into. Also, there is every tendency that a good project might still end up not paying their bounty participants hence the reason why a good bounty manager is needed.

I think ICO procedure is now become a myth nevertheless there are couple of project owners who still think that starting an ico is going to be successful idea well, good luck to them but the reality is crypto community prefers IEOs because this very suitable way to invest anyways it can be complicated for newbies to find a genuine project while there are lot of bad projects, they should only involve in the ieo/ico when they're fully satisfied with their research and the most important, believing on other persons advice doesn't give any guarantee of benefits so they have to be very careful before taking any step in this way.

It's not about how good an ICO was, many ICOs raised huge sum which made them look good but they were scam and took investors funds with them. Many ICOs that were bad in terms of funds raised yet continued with their project development and are doing well now. Good or bad ICOs should be judged from project development if a project records good ICO without project development it's bad.

Newbie need to observe the factors: the project development team and the bounty campaign manager are trustworthy, the feedback of reputable members about ICO and most importantly it has a product. Most bad ICOs promise a lot but never launch anything.

I admitted to searching for good ICO, and bad ICO will be difficult as we know that every ICO doesn't want to show their weak to the public. They will do anything to convince the investor and the participants that their project is legit, and they will give promise that they will provide what the investors and the participants want. We might know that they are good or bad ICO after the project run for some months, and we can feel that they will turn to scam or not by getting involved in their project.

I think investing in any project will be risky if you do not study carefully. Now investor confidence in ICO projects is gone, and it will only make you more frustrated to choose this type of investment. In my opinion, it is advisable to look for IEO projects because these are the projects that will bring short-term profits to investors and before participating should only choose high-liquidity exchanges.

short term profits ? so you only invest on ieo because of that and you reject ico for that reason too ?  

why not invest on more volatile cryptos  because those are better in terms of short term profits but ieo can take a while and ieo are not sure too compare to a crypto coin that is already a pioneer on this field   .

most of all not all are short taker but people choose ico too because they love the long term effect that ico bring    .  

There are only few investors nowadays who risks their money to invest in new projects due to failed and scammed ICO projects in the year of 2018. It is the reason why IEO projects became much better than ICO projects because they are well-developed and you can trust their team members.

I also would not choose to invest in ICO because this type of investment is too old, and if you participate in these bounty campaigns, it will certainly only cost you more time. I think it is best to join projects that are being IEO at good liquidity exchanges because these will usually be projects that bring a lot of money to bounty hunters.

To see the ICO that we can rely on and we can follow up to be able to get satisfactory results, the first we must see the whitepaper that corresponds to the project we are following and the more convincing they work with real companies usually such projects are very suitable for us to follow, hopefully my advice can help.

It's too difficult for you to choose an ICO at the moment, most projects are scams and just want to steal money from investors. If you participate in bounty, it is better to choose famous managers in this market such as Bubbalex, Bounty Detective ...

This is always the risk with ICO you can make a lot of money or you can loose your money, it's sometimes also a matter of luck when a good looking project along with pretty good team might not give good returns because of God knows what reasons. So maybe you can try your luck with the underperforming coins that are already listed on the exchanges and all you need is a little time to do a proper research and when they hit their major milestones and that's when you can sell your coins.

Even if you have experience on finding ICOs there isn't really solid way on checking if that is THE ICO. So i'd suggest you to do your research check about their project what's it all about, Check their partnership, Their team. There's so many things to check when finding the right ICO. so just be patient.

It's not so difficult at this moment dude and what you need to do to see the opportunity through use some reliable rating site like icodrop which has been giving a really nice profit anytime.
It can be reached easily when everyone can join in the trusted IEO.

good projects seen from their team, and the bounty manager is certainly very influential, as I follow now, KingCasino, Bounty manager is good and the Kingcasino team is also good, the community is also strong, for future prices it can't guarantee, what we have to do is work.

Joining ICO projects in 2020 is suicide, there is 90% chance that the ICO won't succeed because investors are not interested in ICO projects again since many scammers used ICO to scam many, if you want to join bounty projects make sure they are using IEO to raise funds

the manager is also important. but not completely the power of a project is feasible. many big managers also hold rotten projects. you certainly know. some projects have good teams and manage their campaigns. indeed riskier. but in the past, we saw several projects like that.

I prefer the professional bounty manager and a little analysis of the ICO both in terms of its activity and seeking information from Google and suggestions from members in the forum.

Do not waste time with the bounty of new projects at the present time, it is difficult for them to successfully raise funds and pay for the bounty hunter. Try to participate in the bounty of the projects listed at the exchange, you will have a higher chance to receive tokens and can sell them.

The roadmap of a project can not be use to know if the ICO is good or bad because 97% of all ICO are scam which is the reason why IEO was launched as an alternative. Although, IEO or others initial offerings cant be use to justify a good project and what can be use to justify a good project is the level of the team dedication and confirming the genuine level of the project itself.

Could you please share me any site or any link where i found some good bounties that is listed in exchange or tell me how can i find?

I realized after a long period that it doesn't really matter about the project at all. You can have two same projects, literally the same projects, and just give it to a good team and a bad team. Good one will prepare something amazing for the website, an original and a perfect whitepaper, they will do a great social media marketing and presence and keep contact with the public and community, hire people from all major languages in crypto world, get a roadmap going and they will definitely use all the funds they get from the investment towards making that roadmap a reality. You know what the bad one will do?

Basically all the same things except at the end they won't use it to make the funds into roadmap but only use it to make themselves richer and make a lot more profits.

There are some fraud/scam projects that look genuine, and you need to dig more information about them. Way back 2017-2018 scammers are attending blockchain conferences taking pictures with well-known individuals to promote their project. To minimized being scammed, review whitepaper, social media updates, the team is visible and not just stolen pictures. I only trust new projects that have a reputable partner or launches an IEO on top exchanges.

Although, it is difficult to get good ico now. Don't just search for scams icos. A lot of times even good icos go away with investors mone . So you have to do a lot of research to find out the good ico. Whether an ico will actually be successful depends on the idea, then comes the team member. Without a good team the project will not be successful in any way. From my own experience I have seen a well-known team play an important role in the success of ico.

It's better for you to visit the service discussion of altcoin and you will find someone who has been creating a thread about which is the bounty that has already listed on the exchange site and which is not.
It will help you a lot.

For 2020 I have not found a good ICO, most of which I found scams. Usually in choosing a good ICO, I pay attention
the developers team whether using real photos or not. Then I joined the ICO social media, if active means good.
And the last thing I noticed is that the bounty manager who handles the projects must have a good track record.

Over the past year, successful ICOS can be listed on the fingers of one hand. Accordingly, there are also very few bounties that paid bounty hunters the tokens they earned. But even those tokens that bounty hunters received are usually impossible to sell, because they are not traded anywhere.

At least you can even mention one thing that you are thinking if that can be a good reference to check it. Some people have been suggesting him icodrop as the best source to get the latest ico but it's not for bounty and bctalk is the only best source to get it.

I personally have gone through a lot of bad and good things in the bounty program. Sometimes projects are successful in ICO but don't pay, there are also projects that really don't get funding. So many things I've felt, and until now I prefer projects that are already on the market. And support the project, so we can certainly see the project in terms of price and actual development.

Check who's managing the campaign, there are good manager like Julerz and Bubbalex that guaranteed distribution and potential of the project, these two points are important and the manager handling the campaign makes things easy for bounty hunters.

So far Julerz and Bubbalex have very rarely held bounty campaign projects, only detective bounties are often seen at this time, so I personally try to join the bounty detective campaign, while waiting for the campaign project held by Julerz and Bubbalex.

I think there are so many factors and with the help of that, you can choose a wise project. A good reputed bounty manger is key to finding a good ico because their reputation reflected their good work and hunters will directly join the project due to some of the very good bounty managers. That's why it's every Hunters responsibility to check the bounty manger first and after that select the project.

If you want to limit your participation in scam projects, then I think you should select the bounty listed at the exchange. Now I see Bounty Detective running bounty like that, you can follow and join if you are interested

There is no good ICO at this time even many failures that occur if the project continues to do ICO as a fundraiser because it is very prone to become a scamer for a project.
If you want to choose a bounty program that is better at least see a professional manager or one who has long managed the bounty so they will know which project is the best, even though that is also not a good way.

The ICO is dead, and not any successful project with it. IEO currently works well and it helps a lot of people get a return on their investment. And if you join bounty, it is best to select the bounty listed. Your chances are higher and less likely to encounter scams

We have to look at the current trends because IEO is one of the best sales today. Many projects use it, even though sometimes they do it on a low exchange, there are still many interests compared to ICO.
If there is an ICO project with a large discount offer then avoid it like that.

To see whether the campaign is a scam or not, I will look at the reputation of the bounty manager managing the bounty campaign. The Bounty manager will do the initial verification about the project and I think besides that it is a practical way. In addition, we can see from the developer team behind the project but I think it is difficult to see their background

First of all, ICO's are dead. Heck even IEO's nowadays tend to be not so exciting anymore.
So if you see a bounty for a project that's doing an "ICO" rather than IEO, don't go anywhere near it. Chances are it will fail and you'll only end up not getting paid or paid but with no value token/coins.
If you really want to check the legitimacy of the project that's doing the bounty campaign, go to their website and check a few things:
1. Do they have legitimate team members?
2. Do they have an achievable roadmap?
3. Are any parts of the website authentic and not plagiarized? (whitepaper, one pager, etc.)
4. Has a proper use case for the token/coin and not just for "experiment" LMAO  :D
Another thing you can do is just join only on a bounty campaign which is run and managed by a reputable bounty campaign manager.
Although, it is still best to DYOR (do your own research).

Here is the best NOT financial advice you can get here OP  ;)
Maybe you can find couple not-scam ICOs but they're probably not good neither.
Do a research, find a bounty program and live worriless

Personally I suggest you not to go for bounty hunting based on ICOs. Because when there are 99% of ICOs are not doing good or being operated by scamy people, what is the need for you to risk your time and efforts with them. Instead of these, you may spend your time on learning cryptocurrency trading so that you could make more money than what possibly you will make from bounty hunting; what I am suggesting may look like more time taking process but it will definitely pay you rather than simply getting scammed by bounties of ICOs.

Yes, filtering out bounty campaigns based on campaign manager must be a good idea because you are simply moving your responsibility to managers as people are always believing in to highly reputed managers who are known for doing their own due diligence before accepting for managing any campaigns/bounty programs for ICOs.

Simple pro tip is to join the bounties which are managed by the reputed campaign manager which can reduce the scam risk by considerable amount because they might have done enough research on a project before taking over them for managing it.

If you check bitcointalk you will see that in separate topics, in accusation topics, in bounty topics and probably in the language specific topics there will be talks about if a project is good or not. Because, if there is something nice going on people do not worry about writing bad things, they do end up writing goods things about those coins.

However if they end up doing anything bad, if they are a scam, if they fail to pay, there will be a ton of posts and topics about how they are bad. Reddit is similar in that way as well, you can see that coin and how they are doing in subreddits that do not belong to them. So at the end of the day, reading about people who are involved and how they have been so far is the key here, if you talk to people who have been involved you will be capable of understanding what the project is made out of as well.

indeed like that is a risk, bounty hunter must be prepared to face it, my advice is to follow a bounty program that does have a large community, such as Bubalex, BountyDetective, etc. you will be safe

It is hard to predict that the project is good or something is going wrong with this project. Maybe you can make any research about this project, like about team or social media of this project, if it is new, mostly it is a scam.  But l think that newbies first start to learn about cryptocurrency as they can. Knowledge is important part of this world, without it, they can not anything.

if indeed you hear something like that then that's the reality, because a project that is rumored to be good is not necessarily good as it says.
research and observation only help to speculate the project, and cannot be said to be 100% accurate.

The answer is actually very simple, DOING RESEARCH. For example, if you have the trouble to do some research, you can access the contents of such previously created topics and you can get information about this subject by reading the comments there. Anyway, to answer your question, I recommend you to research the following factors;
 
- Project product
- Project team
- Project objectives
- Project usage areas
- Investor mass of the project
 
If you research these factors I mentioned, you can have an idea about that project and decide how high quality it is. To get information about all these factors, you can search the internet or review the road map of the project called "whitepaper".

Just because the bounty community is big doesn't mean you wouldn't get scammed, more people would be scammed than usually because its been handled by this trusted manager, because there's lot of people joining in these campaign, the bounty managing groups really needs to make sure to not accept scam projects.

For sure there would be managers in each bounties, so you should check first on the history of the bounty manager themselves. Check if the manager has a history of managing plenty of campaigns in the past and that would be your indicator that the bounty manager is not just legitimate but also choose quality project. There was once bounty I joined in the past back in 2017 that was managed by Yahoo and because he is reputated one, I believe that he chooses good bounty and I wasn't wrong in that mindset. :)
Trust system is there for a reason, and not just your like capability to join campaigns or not. ;)

Good ICO are those that have their own solid chain and a well-versed developer on that field but after being around a bit I watch a lot of good ICO failed not because of its developer but its CEO making the wrong decision or being greedy knowing that the project will succeed.

Yes, that's right, many people speculate on the project after doing some research and observation, even though we can't make it as a basic benchmark, especially for reference, because the accuracy is clearly still floating or not clear at all, and things like this tend to make someone get stuck into a project that is not good.

Spotting good ICO is based on their project implementation, roadmap, team members or simply looking on the context of their website. Most good projects should have good partnerships that will come in handy when marketing starts. Due to large scale of ICO Scams for past years, IEO now is the trend for crypto projects and it's better that way, more safe and trustworthy to investors. Lastly, doing research will always be the best tools to spot a good and bad projects.

This is a good idea, but I believe it will still be risky because managers currently only care about money from projects. So if they pay the bounty manager a good amount of money then I believe they will blindly manage it.

when IEO began to appear many people hoped that there would be improvements at least until the ICO began to clean up for improvement. but the fact that no significant changes have occurred with the change from ICO to IEO. everything goes back to behind the scenes of every new project, because it wants to change with anything in order to improve but there is no guarantee of behavior to be given social sanctions, of course it's useless. proven IEO in the beginning was very good but here it is not better than ICO. not to mention the price which is very small and not tempting and tends to profit by themselves.

There are tons of stuff you can check to see if a project is bad or not but at the end of the day the scammers are so ahead of the curve that they know what a good project looks like and they trick you to think they are good by looking at the actually good ones and they try to mimic them and look the same and you fall for it since they look like a legit place but they end up stealing from everyone. Scammers do not just make a website and say "hey we are scammers, give us your money".

They are smart and they know that if they are careful and they can act like they are legit and try to copy what the legit places do, they could still get your money. Which is why it is so hard to decide if a project is a good one or a bad one, because a bad one can do exactly what good one does or just promises to do it.

I doubt that there are still good ico nowadays,

just like what you have said, there are many good ico that still not launch their coins, it is true because most of them have probably left the project behind and keep the money they have collected instead of planning of launching their coin.

Yeah, the newbie doesn't have the experience of research projects or the critics market for the first time just plunged into a bounty promotion, well, we have to know sometimes newbies always carry out promotion of any project without doing research first.

The best way is to check the money manager, there are some bonus managers on the forum who are very reputable and they usually only manage good projects. Hhampuz and yahoo62278 are two reliable bonus managers, I usually do their bonus campaigns and get pretty good rewards.

Testing a bonus program and a project requires a lot of experience. You also need to check the development team, media sites, white papers, and project chat groups.
However, in the current situation, it is difficult to find a project Good ICO, most ICOs at the moment are just an exaggeration and you can easily get back a pile of trash.

But they will have tougher requirements than other managers. Most of the campaigns they manage will pay with Bitcoin or ETH, which is why they became popular in this forum.

Hhampuz and yahoo62278 both bounty manager are also my favorite admin. Most of the time they run Bitcoin or Ethereum payment bounty. Probably you could die, if you are waiting for their campaign. Now newbies can follow bounty detective and bubbalex admin campaign. This is very short term process to learn bounty selection

The reputation of the manager can't be a good factor to determine how trusted the project. Sometimes the good bounty managers can also get a crap project or even scam project. It's better for the newbies to keep focusing into the reputation of project.

Good bonus programs often have a high demand when choosing participants, because they need quality rather than quantity. As long as people work seriously I will definitely be accepted into the campaign.

You are right, even we can see a lot of big managers like Artezy and wapinter also holding too many project scams. A manager is an ordinary person who makes money like a bounty hunter. who pays them will be done. no matter they will scam or not.

it is difficult to find a good or scammed ICO project, because most ICO projects look real and convincing. if you are an investor it is better not to invest in an ICO project, this is more risky losing your money. my advice if you want to invest in a better project do in IEO that is already listed on the top exchange.

I think the main criterion of bounty and ICO or IEO rating is project`s partnerships and indicator of social media activity. Projects which are really interested in development and suggesting problem`s solutions are always active and communicate with community, have a lot of updates and often try to find more and more partners

I think the leader of the project is the thing that matters the most. There is always a whole team that handles the project, yet there is one leader of them all, the creator, the owner, there is really one person that rules everyone else. Which is why I think that person is the most important one, there is really nothing that matters other than this person.

If you get a project with one person who rules amazingly and is a great person, that means the project will be a good one, if the project leader is a bad one the project will be bad. The team could be awesome or could be bad, if the leader is amazing he will fix whats wrong, and if he is bad he will make what is already good. This is why go after the leader and find out if he is a good person or not and if he is a good leader it will be great.

ICO's are already a thing in the past.  IEO and even possibly DYCO are what's more beneficial and safer to investors.

But there are still bounty managers who like to protect their good reputation so they won't take scam projects that might only ruin them. Yes they are just ordinary people like bounty hunters but they can be a good source of courage for bounty hunters to keep going and continue making profits.

Absolutely! ICO projects have too many problems and one of them is the risk of being scammed! Personally, I think there's a rare chance to find a "good" ICO nowadays. I cut my thought about investing in ICO since 2018. At that time, ICO projects got a lot of bad reviews from the community. I think IEO projects should be better for investors!

A good project does not make an ICO. If they need funding they must find this before starting their blockchain or get a dev fee from every block to earn trust.
Earning trust in the crypto space is not like before. It is very difficult now.

Please avoid any project that plans to use ICO in 2020, that's a big red flag that the project won't do well, investors have turn their backs on ICO projects totally, using this strategy in 2020 is suicide for the new project

Yes and there's only few of bounty managers who really think of their reputation. A bounty manager that will investigate the project and decline it once they locate any suspicions even if they know that they can earn. Most of them thinks that as long as they earn, they will handle every project even if it is not legit.

I think it is very difficult for us to distinguish which projects are not scams or which are scams. Because scammers often occur after ICO is complete. At a minimum, you can choose projects managed by trusted managers, because managers can communicate directly with the project team.

You are right, some new spam projects are detected when they finish ICO. it was too late with the project that already got investors' money even though it was not large. some only announced that they would return investors' funds but in reality, they disappeared without any return.

A newbies or legendary no matter who we are, it is impossible to find the project is real or not before they complete their tokens sales.There are some ways to check the legitimacy of bounty like

1. Analyzing the reputation of project team members,
2. Checking for plagiarism in their whitepaper,
3. How much active in social media
4. Who they are hiring to promote their project,
5. Even how much discounts they avail for presale

can give some idea about their intention of creating this project.

That's right, we can only know if they have scam or not after they finish ICO or IEO. I have seen a lot of well-evaluated projects this year, but after fulfilling their goals, they left the project and made investors lose a lot.

for a newbie, it is indeed very difficult to track a project into a scam or not. however, I suggest waiting and seeing how people respond to it. besides checking all of their social media, including from telegrams. You can see how interactions and developments are carried out from telegrams. try to find more information about the project.

I often check the quality of the community at Telegram because if the people there are actively talking, the project is definitely getting a lot of interest. In addition, if the project has organized some AMA in many other large groups, they have prepared very well for listing, and surely they want everyone to know more. However, not every project is good enough, so please consider several times before participating.

I have seen a lot of groups just like you said, they were very active before the bounty ended or before the group implemented IEO. But after the bounty ended, the group became more silent and gradually everything came to an end. Never evaluate a project through telegram

I think those who are members of the group are bounty campaign participants who enter and participate in the telegram group and in my opinion they are only used as people who are used to make the group lively so that it can show that the group has a life and can convince investors.

That's right, after the ICO was completed, the group started to shut up and shut down. Like some of the campaigns I participated in, I always asked questions about distribution and was answered with great enthusiasm. But after the bounty ended, no one answered it, I was even banned from the group

Lol so true, if any ICO promises investors that they must make profit after investing, its already a red flag since its not professional. I stumbled on one ICO recently called kingcasino, which claimed they sold out pre sale and promise investors huge returns, after successfully fooling investors, they pinned a note on their telegram mocking investors for foolishly believing what they promised. If the team is not credible, even with awesome MVP or product, the project will end up being a scam.

Mate first of all stay away from ICO projects, this is IEO era, no good project uses ICO to raise fund because the chance of success is so thin to none and secondly investors don't ICO projects anymore, they've lost too much money to scam ICO Projects

There is now sure way or straight forward answer to this question, unfortunately. However, there is a few things you can do to find out more about the project and the real intentions of the startup.

What you need to do is look for ICOs that put a good amount of their own funding into the project. This shows they have trust in their own product.

Check their documentation - whitepaper, MVP technical documentation (good sign if there is any), updates and reports on the progress of the product, business and marketing strategy

Look at the staff, CEO, legal advisors...

And, very important - talk to them. Join the community group, check posts and comments, as well as their overall forum activity... Good projects will never miss a chance to help people to learn more about the technology itself, as well as answer all kinds of 'awkward' questions.

IEO will also fail if you select them at small exchanges. I agree with you that the ICO is dead, and it will not be profitable for investors. Besides, if you want to participate in IEO, you need to choose the major exchanges in this market to ensure the price does not collapse.

that advice was very helpful. and I think the first choice is the best exchange. if the project is good it will choose the best exchange. not a matter of price to be registered there. when the project has great support and planning, of course, they will think about everything seriously.

It would be a smart choice, find the best bounty managers at this forum and participate in it. I believe you will quickly get the best campaigns, but I'm pretty sure that the budget of those bounty will be very low.

A long of things from the ico can be taken as indicators to identify whether that was a trusted or scam project. This must be done before the ico has already raised the money caused by this will decrease the possibility for investors to lose their money. It must be done before the ico before it's too late

You are right, We must read the OP post in all the bounty campaign. But many newbies are hard to find the right projects, So I am always suggest to check the beginners and help section. Because nowadays many peoples are interested to concentrate the Bounty campaign. So desire projects are hard to fix so we must ask the question in this forum automatically many peoples are guide the Bounty participation.

If the bounty manager organized an advertising campaign for the ICO, then he must have such unsuccessful projects that led to scam. Many managers have a negative tag for promoting such scam projects. Therefore, the manager's authority will not be able to protect you.

how can you call it a Good ICO that still not releasing their Coins?lol is that supposed a Joke?

Anyway you are a Hunter i guess?

If you are looking for a Good project then better be with the legit managers(though it is not 100% certain yet at least we know how the project goes)

and make your own research,the team behind the project must be Legit and Legal,because there are so many here that tried to use fake accounts.

Do Your Own Research. I think that word is the most important to choose which is good and which is bad, don't just rely on FOMO because it can be manipulated by anonymous people.
do a search on the community, whitepaper, roadmap, and the like until deep to meet in the light whether the project is unique and promising in the future or just ordinary. maybe it's just for every research a new project and DYOR.

We have to look at the background of the project and see the concept itself whether it will be interesting and also the community is very important do not just look at the big member because it's normal bot see the community that I am discussing I believe this will be a better project, whitepaper is also very important important and double check that they don't copy from another whitepaper.

Yes, actually this problem is no longer new to us in the crypto world. Those scams are always looking for excuses. Maybe at first promised to return the investment. And they provide a time limit. From the way they are already seen wanting to commit scam.

Yes this seems to be more or less what's happening now but there are some genuine projects which are offering bounty campaigns but you have to spend your time on it and do a proper search before you stumble across one of them .

I must say that there are many difficulties to know if any project will be a success or not. For example:

If the person verifies that the team members are real and then the person verifies that the whitepaper has not been plagiarized, there is still a risk that the team members are inexperienced in real life about the type of business they are proposing to do and because of that after they (the project team) collect money from investors they will start making trips and lie that they are looking for partnership. This can also be considered a scam indirectly

Don't rush into participating to new bounties on the forum, don't be so actions to grab huge token allocations to projects. Many cryptocurrency projects had gotten some ways to attract many bounty hunters to participate in their bounty scams. They always allocates huge amount of tokens to their participants. Read through their white papers and reviews before making your entry.

My advice is look for high ranked members like hero or legendary and join what bounty they are joined.
Then u will start understanding which ico's usefull and which ones scam.

Actually, this is not very influential because sometimes members with hero or legend rank are also not always good at choosing bounties. I myself often get stuck in choosing bounties and because of that now I only look for bounties that are definitely released on the exchange and for rewards I dare to take risks if at the time of distribution of tokens experiencing dumps.

Now if you will find a good campaign, then you are just a very lucky person. Recently, either scammers or you can earn very little money. only signature campaigns are interesting to me now

That should be the best way to follow experienced members. You must have seen a lot of scam icos these days and why some participants are still able getting legit payment while so many newbies have said thei have been getting scammed by the scam bounties. That makes sense to me.

choosing the project carefully is the key to this. it's just that, the possibility to choose a scam or bad project still exists, even when you have done extensive research. good or bad projects that you can only determine when you do your research. so do your research before you work for it.

Agree! Even some projects seem very good at first turn out to be a scam one after raising funds. Personally, I don't choose to invest in ICO under any circumstances because there are too many scam projects compared to legitimate ones. IEO can be a good alternative to invest in. For me, there is no good ICO and bad ICO anymore, I just avoid to involve in them!

There are many scam projects in this market, and you need to take a lot of measures to be able to analyze it. Honestly, it will be too difficult for newbie in this market, so if you participate in bounty then please select the bounty listed in the exchange.

There's also have thread discussing about the legitimate of the project or try to research of the project if they have bad reputation. They provide a good reviews about the project and create a list that compose of legitimate projects. At this point, you can also make your verification before joining. Check every aspects of the project like project team, telegram, and whitepaper. You can also rely in some trusted bounty managers who have great reputation in managing bounty campaigns.

There are many good ICOs and bad ICOs in this bounty program. There are many good ICOs who have no value for their coins at present. Therefore, in the case of investment, it is necessary to check and select the ICO well.

Sometimes it's somewhat difficult to if a bounty projects will scam or not, I've participated in a bounty where they have a solid team, good white paper website and everything seems cool with them, but after listing they claimed that they were hack by one of their team member and they dumped on investors and exit scam. But on a good day, looking at the team and what their project has to offer, mostly says good about a project if they don't lie on getting hack

You can't tell an ICO is good or bad without you are having a good knowledge about crypto. Before declaring an ICO program you have to check it's many of factors that making a program successful or damaged. I think there will need lots of experience level about crypto and ICO as well. Such as how they work and to check their strategy works.

No need to check ICOs, I believe that 100% of ICOs are scams and they just want to take investor money. If you want to invest in a new project, you should choose IEO or buy altcoins listed at exchanges.

Do research. Check the team if they have experience in their respective fields, read the whitepaper how they will develop the project, see the partners the more partners the better, etc.

Not sure because there are still many good projects for you to join and maybe after IEO, that project becomes a lot better and helps you earn a lot of money. I think it depends on the situation of the market because in general the projects listed at the exchanges are often very difficult to make a lot of money because there will certainly be a lot of participants. Of course, before taking part in any bounty campaign, you need to consider carefully because you will probably spend a lot of time to work.

it's hard now to find ICOs bad and good they are very neatly arranged in terms of whitepaper and partners and as if everything is so real, I prefer to invest in IEO which is done in a large market than investing in ICO

That's right, it's too difficult for us to distinguish ICO scams in this market, most of them are scams and have a perfect cover. It is best to join IEO to profit from new projects

There must be some exceptions to that. I meant when you find a project that has a chance to be a fake project and it's not easy to determine the bad side of a project based on the technical analysis. The partnership doesn't matter a lot in this case as so many scam projects were also creating fake partnership too.

right, when time a lot of ICO projects, they dare to scratch big partners on their website without the partner's agreement, so investors are interested in investing, when the ICO finished and got big funds, they just leave

ICO indeed makes us confused, sometimes unexpected ICOs will make investors happy, and ICOs that look good are quite the opposite, it is better to follow IEO in famous exchanges to get away from scammers

I also don't know much about how to choose the right gift to follow, but I personally see the gift manager who manages the bounty and for now, I'm more interested in joining the IEO project than the ICO.

The way to find a good Bounty campaign is to analyze the project itself, it's website, Whitepaper and team. A good project usually hosts a good Bounty campaign.

I actually agree with most of your points, but as regards partnership, I am of the opinion that it is not just about the number of partnerships or partners that the project tea has, but how solid the partnership is, most especially partnering with big and successful names I the crypto space. A project might have so many partnerships, but none or the majority of them might not be popular. Also, we need to always check and confirm if truly they have those partnerships and one of the ways it can be much better is to see both parties publish it on their social media or website.

I believe there are still good ICO now but the question is,  is that enough for them to succeed?
It seems like the market does not anymore favor the ICO, even IEO struggles because crowdsale int he market is not that attractive to the people now.

To be honest, I am not anymore seeing that ICO will once again relieve its wonderful market, even if the market will turn into bullish, it would still not gonna give a good effect to ICO as people knows how to choose now, they would go for the IEO or probably just invest on existing coins in the market.

A little research is a must to know what ico is legit and what is not. Ask other people especially persons who are good in reviewing ico projects. They can help too.

Well, when you create a new token project that actually can be used for something and that something is loved that means you can definitely still be successful and get rich. I still hate the whole concept of ICO because I think pre-mining all of the coins and simply just owning all of them by one company doesn't make it decentralized, it is just decentralized on paper but that team could basically control it however they want.

But let's assume that I would invest, if there is one thing that I love very much and that token is used there, I would constantly buy it to use there and after I use it and there is certain amount collected, it will be burned as well. All of this would make the token go up like crazy and make a ton of profit for the investors and still possible.

I believe he is referring to both, his presentation might not be that well organized for one to understand the direction is coming from and where he is going.  Also, before we can move unto saying that a bounty is good or that it would be profitable, we have to start our research for the project itself and ost of the times, some of these projects might not be sure of what their next line of action is as regards how to raise fund for their projects.

The results of each bounty whether good or bad depends on the project, if the project is good then the bounty will likely be good and vice versa. Also, there are good projects which still tries to play hunters through coming up with several excuses as to why they will reduce allocation and so on. However, to know a good bounty and as such a good project, you have to study the project through checking if the use case is good or not. Also, you have to check if the team are really capable of developing the use case. Other things to look into are partners, exchange and the community.

But we need to know that even though the bounty is already listed on the exchange, it does not mean you get a guarantee that you will get a good reward. We need to look at the volume and reputation of the exchange, because a lot of new projects that work with shitexchange are only to attract investors and bounty hunters. Poor exchange cannot form market power, it is just like bait.
So, bounties that are already on the market are good, but we have to analyze them again related to trading activities and volume :)

That is why we must be selective in choosing exchanges that are proven to be experienced and successful in holding IEO. Of course this is not difficult if investors focus on IEO held by exchanges with good reputation such as Binance, Bithumb, etc.
Don't waste your funds on joining IEO on shitexchange, I think investors are also getting smarter and more selective in this matter.

Don't waste your time on ICO for now there is no successful ICO because many of them are running IEO this where you can take part and it was not a waste of time and you will have huge profit for it just join on the top exchange not just exchange make research which exchange are running the best IEO so you can join on it.

There are few icos that can still raise the funds from the investors but mostly have been migrating into the IEO. I can deny IEO is very popular compared with ICO right now. There must be an exception for a good ico but they didn't wanna centralized exchange site dictate them like solana.

it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad because most ICOs right now many to end up being fraudulent. I recommend for the beginners it's better to never invest in ICO and switch to IEO because that's it's more profitable. indeed not all IEO can be said to be successful but at least that's it is better than ICO for now.

most of the ico is not successful because investors now prefer IEO over ICO, but if the project is trusted, the team in the project is popular and their products are real, there is no harm in doing ico, all they need to do is just research the project,

Just as you say, not all IEOs are successful in this market, there are lots of IEO failures and many investors lose money, but it's still a lot better than ICOs. I believe that all ICOs will make investors lose at the current stage, if it is not experienced in choosing IEO, it is better to invest in altcoins listed in the market.

How to review the ICO:
+ check Dev team
+ search the ICO news (twitter, facebook)
+ jion telegram group to check how many people look after that.
+ how many coins to supply
+ propose of coin

If you are planning to join an ICO project then it is better if you do your own research. There is no guarantee from anyone if a project is successful or not. It's not easy to find Scamed projects at the start of the page, but you can avoid them if you see a suspicious project.

its core is full of rigor when investing anywhere especially in the form of an ICO, ICO already have a bad reputation with investors a lot of scams they do
if not check from all sides of course will experience a loss

For you to know if a project have a good ico or bad ico check their ANN, telegram, their investors, their team member all thus requires a good and thorough research about the project. Sometimes projects with good ico might be a bad project in terms of listing, paying the Bounty hunters, some might stopped half way.
This means that good ico is not a guarantee that a project will be successful.

A good project is a project that is already listed on the exchange or coins can be traded on the exchange. but that doesn't mean this is a guarantee, it's just that I say it is much better than a new project which is sometimes difficult to develop in the market and doesn't even have further price developments.

we are unable to find good or bad bounty and ICO before the product of the project is completed and the coin of the project  listed on exchange, but I have suggestions for you to choose a bounty program to participate, that is :
1. The management of the bounty must be active and responsive;
2. Many bounty hunters are participating in the bounty;
3. The bounty that you participate must have a real project (the developer of the project must have a report on the progress of the project and run according to the roadmap).

Don't get me wrong, but the number of bounty hunters joining a specific program is not a measure that the bounty is good. Also, if there are a lot of bounty hunters sharing for fix allotment, then you will only get small share after the completion of the bounty program. But I do agree, that they should have real project or should I say, actual application in the market, active and operational with real users onboard.

What you are saying is very true, because it will be very useless if someone follows a new project that has no development and their tokens or coins do not have any value at all in the market, and even if someone follows a project like that then obviously he will get a loss of time which is very valuable in my opinion.

all also want to invest their funds in tokens that are already on the market because it is clear that the risk to be taken may be very small, although it is not guaranteed. but many also want to get big rewards from projects that issue new tokens and maybe with his analysis that the new tokens will be profitable when they are on the market and that's not a few who do things like that. when in its heyday many ICOs got huge returns but after many scams people were more careful to invest in new tokens. Times have changed because scams are plentiful for new projects, inducing a past that is not as fraudulent as it is today. It takes hard work and cooperation from all parties to be able to return to the heyday of a new project.

It's tought to find out the good one unless you learn about crypto industry first. Sometimes Unique roadmap, photos of team members, well written white paper can goes wrong, this is because scammer are Intelligent enough in this field also. My suggestion is, don't be too hurry to investment when you are newbie in this industry.try to gain some knowledge, then feel free to invest your fund anywhere you want.

as a newbie I don't suggest you join in any ICO because even some good ICOs turn out bad after listing like sushiswap , Only very geek and professional guys could tell that, You can follow some of them on twitter , I am following @mandyb on twitter and he is not bad.

Can't disagree on this one. I also like to check crypto birb from time to time, to see if there is anything interesting.
But overall - yeah, you don't want to invest in something as complicated as fresh new ICO, because its too risky, almost gambling like.

Indeed. Its better to invest in a coin that is already listed in a good exchange rather than a new coins that is not proven anything yet.
Nevertheless investing has always risk thus manage your expectation and make sure to know what you're getting into.

Yes, but basically everyone who is a professional also comes from a newbie, so following in the footsteps of those who are already professional is good, but learning to understand yourself is also needed, because those who are professionals have also been wrong or deceived, both in seeing and in understand it.

There are many ways to see a good ICO, one of which is by looking at the bounty manager who has a high reputation who manages the project and we can also see how many seniors in this forum participated in it.

Considering an ICO project and bounty program has many factors to evaluate. My first observation is the bounty pool of the project and its website.
On the website, you can learn about the technology used, what the project will serve in the future, who the team of the project is and what capabilities they have, most importantly, their large community. how. I often visit their social media sites and see what they say about the project.
My above standards are often based on feelings and experiences. To a novice, they may seem difficult to reach.

Success from bounty campaign have worth value for an ICO project joining, if you participated with good ICO you have guarantee for success joining bounty campaign but you should checking who is bounty campaign manager, how trust the bounty campaign manager for joining his campaign. I got many ICO success by listing with many exchange and have good price after listing but with scammer bounty campaign manager distributing delay for long term until participants forget with their campaign manager, right now just few bounty campaign have success with higher price and last week I got good bounty injective campaign.

now there is no problem to correctly write white paper
over the years, so many specialists have accumulated on the crypto market that for money they will make you any document
 website, social media accounts and whatever
that is why it is so easy for scammers to deceive ordinary users

There are so many criteria of a good ICO. A good ICO will have a good reputation, their project is listed and their coins can be exchanged on the market. You can join their telegram too, check is the management well-organized or not.

Good filtering there I also use the same method. I even try checking the smart contract and its creator and see and identify if the owner is legit or just some airdrop guy. Most fake projects immediately sells their tokens or coins offering airdrops for ETHs. Some tries to fool by saying they are already listed but on decentralized exchanges which does not need any requirements and verification. I do participate in airdrops and mostly got disappointed since most are just there for decorations.

Social media and telegram groups are not enough to check how the team is and if they are legit because nowadays?
scammers are paying people to shill for them in all social media platforms,they even use Bot or any tools that may look them legit.
So if this is one of your tool to check the projects legitimacy?then better think twice.
those ratings usually comes from paid accounts that needed
to say good things just to lure investors.

There are many ways to choose a bounty that has a chance of success, one of which is by looking at the bounty manager who maintains his reputation, so that many projects he manages are successful but now you can follow projects whose coins have been recorded in a market

Many good ICO? I have not seen any let alone many, nowadays people no longer care about ICO, it is now IEO here and there, and funny enough IEO is gradually trading the path of ICO. Just like in the case of ICO, they way you research about them, is closely related to that of IEO just that, in IEO, the exchange the token sale will take place on really matters.
So advicing based on IEO, I would say first research about the team, the level of their competence, what they have achieved over the years and if their experience is in relation to what they are building. This is very important, because a team with financial expertise can't work perfectly in a sport project. Also, you have check their community and how active it is, and this goes beyond telegram to twitter and so on. A team that can't adequately update their community at the early stage of the project might find it hard doing so after token sale.
Lastly, their partners and the exchange the token sale will take place on is also important.
Thus, after checking the project and it looks good, then there is every tendency the bounty will look good as well.

A good Ico is one that can successfully list on the Exchange thus indicating that the project can thrive because it is valuable. simply like that. because ICO aims to present new coins means that the newer the coins, the more perfect they should be.so choose an Ico bounty with a good project seen from the coins, management and team.

That's normal, we just have to be vigilant on what we are doing as there are scammers in the crypto space, actually there's many of them that's why the risk is really high when investing here, and we are talking about ICO which was already obsolete.

I say this because this is my experience, the first to distinguish a good ICO or not is from the community, social media, and of course their team,
but now ICO is no longer as popular as it used to be, what is now popular is the Defi ICO and IEO,
if you are to follow the ICO, then you must be seach in Defi project.

Yup, that's reasonable enough i guess. It's high time when the terms comes in front of us, to be right or not to be on the right track to make investment on any project. ICO things become old now and people are becoming increasingly reluctant to be productive for this situation as most things in IEO proceed by exchanges.

with more on work as evaluating release from developer, pupils to gains with confidence as referring decision to put of funds and expecting with distinct of limit and collects of returns of profit as the involvement ith the startup project.

You can see who handles the bounty management, whether the track record is good and the minimum scam bounty handled, because usually the problem is when the bounty is over
Usually there is a debate or throwing between the bounty manager and the owner of the ICO project when the tokens are distributed, for the beginning it is difficult to know whether they are good or not, right in the middle we can see from the news and social media whether the ICO project team is active or not, and We can investigate whether the team is real photos and names or fake, and their partnership is also a good judge or not

I have been in some notable and reputable bounty managers but almost (not all) are scams. I worked in some bounty like Mb8 managed by Yahoo and Dogdata by Wapinter but it ends up trash. I somehow understand that these results are not because of the bounty manager but the project team.

yes, the reputation of the bounty manager who's handling the campaign won't matter anymore as they really have no control over how the project will end up. They are just hired to manage the campaign. I think if you're looking for a good ICO, you search up who are the people behind the project if they are legit and if the project really offers a functional product.

most of the managers probably have nothing to do with the project. but some include campaign managers into the promotion team. as you said, the people who helped the project grow are the big guys for now. Now it seems that without the help and cooperation of big-name people or platforms it will be difficult for a new project to find a good market.

I think this advise to OP is wrong because thousands of newborn investors have made some good investment during the ICOs days, personally, during those days of ICOs I was new to cryptocurrency industry and I did made some investment which actually generated me some good profits on a long-term. But 3% of my projects chosen to make investment with gave me what I wanted from inception and would equally advise others to invest in good projects for a good return in the future.

Even as much as it could be difficult to know all the qualities that are ascribed to a good project, one could make use of some of the rudimentary features of a project which is worth our time when participating in bounties. One of such is the whitepaper review, going through the white paper gives one the perspective of the project as it relates to the cryptocurrency industry and the possibility of such use case.. A whitepaper that was copied from another project is a red flag.

Honestly speaking it's not just on the bounty managers if the project fails to succeed or fails to pay up the bounty hunters.

They are just a medium of marketing and they try to do their job finally the project members actions  decide if the project is going to be successful or not.

First, you need to check the website look for the whitepaper, roadmap, and team members of the project. Join their social media channels also to get their latest updates and join their community on telegram and make discussions with the admins. Ask everything you need to know and do your own research to confirm whether if it is a legit project or a doubtful one. Consider also the bounty manager who's handling the bounty program, bounty manager with higher ranks known to have a high reputation too.

Majority of bounty campaigns are from new projects, tell me, how will you check reviews on something that's not even launched and working yet? You can only find good reviews about old projects that's been around for over a year minimum

You need to search every details of the project or the bounty details to know if it's legit or not. Maybe it will takes time of doing a research in the project but it is really effective way to find a good one to the fake . But trust me there is a lot of bad ICO compared to the real ICO who is legit and successful because it will gives you a lot of profit but its hard to find it for this now.

Unfortunately, only a few investors who really understand all cryptocurrency projects will understand the project is a scam or not because they are new traders or investors who still don't have much experience so it will be difficult to determine their steps when they want to invest in a new project.

Good ico have a minimum viable product as the backing whereas the bad ico doesn't have anything backing. Just tokenised and sold with different forms of sale. During the year 2017-2018 almost every ico project that reached the market made a big return.

If you evaluate those ICO, they're nothing compared to the present ones. During those days people weren't familiar as well as the market is supportive. Now the advancement have gone high and it isn't easy to tokenise a project without any form of backing.

How can you called a Good ICO if still holding their coins?

Yeah they are waiting for right timing but the problem is Investors and also Hunters are being trapped when they are expecting at least profit in a certain time.

Anyway if i were you?just focus in investing for active coins in market than these newly created that might become scam in the end.

Nice suggestion, gone are those days where you invest in an ICO and wait until the project is listed in exchange as it would pump, people have learned from their past mistakes so they are more educated now, but those altcoins which survive during the long bear market gives us an opportunity to invest now.

So let us think of that, we don't want hype only but the value of the coin to succeed in the long run, and those are old coins which are already proven and tested through time.

There where still bad ICOs during the mentioned years becasue it was that period myself got scammed from series of projects claimed to be prospective projects. Although there where still good but most that got me scammed are more than the good ones back then, in a sincere manner the good ones payed out well that almost covered the lost.

with uses of customs as pupils manage work on following distinct with casuals, different returns on reference as pupils to define of one on option as deciding to put of appeals on project offers as expecting with limit of results on following strategics as the systematical template on helping as examining action.

Just check out for their information regards them such as the whitepaper, the developer team if they were legit, and more.

Personally, sometimes I don't have time for checking them so I only depending who handling the campaign. I usually participate in those reputable ones because they will not handle a campaign that could possibly ruin their image right?

If only checking it cannot guarantee that the project is not a scam because I have experience and many cases I have encountered, the developers at the beginning gave very good responses even the team and the whitepaper were purely original and there was no indication of a scam, but when the platform was launched a few months later the project was a scam, the project that I am telling you is a platform for exchange so that when a scam occurs all the assets we have in the exchange are lost, they cannot be taken anymore.

ICO good while this is not too much already too many scam everywhere fraud and took away the money of investors very few surviving and trying to market their project to be able to survive in the stock the only project that has CEO honest that still survive until today this.

Like most of people here said, do some research, Spend time to get the information.

But the main ingredient for success is timing.
I've watched companies with huge budgets and good ideas struggle during 2018, 2019 and 2020. After year or so, their coin/token and project runs out of steam and fails.

Not because they were bad, but because it's not the right time.
Part of the reason is that there is not much public interest in it.

You cant simply say a project is good or bad just by looking at it, it takes lots of research and patience, you have to put into consideration that the website is legit with original content and not just copy and paste from an old existing project, also read reviews about the project and check if the bounty is trustworthy with a really good project and another point is some project just dont succeed if they dont get enough capital 

Now it is very difficult to understand which ICO will be successful and which will not, but in general you need to study the project itself, its goals, capabilities and technologies and of course you need to study project team and their developers, just as if the project has well-known partners, then rather in all, this project will have a successful ICO, because very often well-known partners also make investments in cryptocurrency projects with which they have a partnership.

In fact, you trust an outside person to make a decision about the quality of the project, and if they made a mistake in their analysis, then who will you blame for the loss of your resources and time? If there is no time to analyze the project, the best solution is not to participate in ICO. After all, you can always buy on exchange.

There is no proper research on ICOs. Only a few ICO were successful. If we look at the history of ICOs in 2017, only 10% of them still survive. However, if the ICO project is actually carried out according to what is stated in the white paper, then the ICO project is more powerful than the IEO.

Team should be known, not anonymous people. Circulating supply shouldn't be so high considering the price. Team should't hold a huge amount of coins/tokens. They should be locked for a long time. github should be active.

There are projects that teams are anonymous but they also experience success, most projects that have anonymous teams are also those who are promoting anonymity, one example is https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/deeponion/.

It was so hype in the past and offers great reward for bounty hunters.

ICO it will only be good depending in your thoughts and sight or belief. But nowadays, it's very hard to determine if the ICO is bad or not.
Because, as we all know there are lot of scammers that has been arise now here in this field of business. So, if you find a good ico lucky for you but if not, it will be too bad for you.

talking about this year and the past 2 is indeed,Yet back in 2017 when ICO are Booming we cannot deny that many of us here made a great profit from it.
I remember the days when i love investing in ICO that i believe will bring me good return and luckily for all those who have i Joined make me proud of earning.
But when the 2018 year comes?thats the start when ICO starts fooling people and another lucky for me because that same year when i stopped investing instead i Bought the top currencies in which some of them still remains in my wallet after the great dump in the mid of 2018.

Just do a research, research and research. This is the only way to determine which bounty program are good and which one is bad. You need to look even the smallest details on that project on that way it will gives you  more informations and understanding about the project. After your research the next is your own evaluation and judgment about the project. and last is your own decision whether you leave it or take it.

I saw a lot of bad ICO which means the bounty project also is failed or the worst of that is people scam also and that is the investors plus the participants who waste their time in promoting that project. Once people see the project is ICO most of them are not believe which is good but hunters and investors still try to the ICO project and bounty even it is dangerous.

In every token sale that's coming in, ICO, IEO, DEFI, or any kind of project token sale there will always be good and bad ones. So as investors we need to do our part, DO OUR OWN RESEARCH on every project we are investing in. Don't just rely on how hype is the promotion of the project. Check the website, whitepaper, roadmap, tokenomics, team members, and so on. Join also their community and make a discussion there.
