I suggest every new projects team should do this if they want to introduce bounty campaigns for their project, doing this will limit the risk for tokens losing huge value because bounty hunters sell their shares.

1. Find good bounty manager
2. Give up only few decent allocation
3. Go for strong exchanges with no fake volume
4. Accept limited participants in your bounty campaigns
5. Introduce phase distributions

This is the most important thing but unfortunately, it's the most difficult. Listing on big exchanges results in a lot of fee and obviously, no projct wants to spend a lot of money for that. Finance is always a problem with new projects. If a project is financially strong, they don't even need a bounty to promote.

My suggestion for homeless people.

1- find nice house
2- buy house

Thats how your sugestions looks like for someone who is in crypto for few years. I have one more:

My suggestion for starving people.

1- buy food
2- eat food

I don't agree to this mate, there are few projects that are well funded and they still introduce bounty campaign, e.g Harmony, Cartesi and DIA, what I noticed are teams that means business, they are damn serious about what they want to do for the public. Sometimes enough funds equals to seriousness

I can't but agree, some manager aren't really experienced enough to handle some big task and very lazy to Update Bounty  participant spreadsheet. Frequent update of spreadsheet motivate participants as the campaign progress.

This is necessary to avoid dumpingbof price but the team has to be fair to promoters. You don't expect people to participate when you they give poor allocation.

Only few exchanges don't partake in wash trading, if the token/coin is demanding, the volume will come naturally with out bot interference

This is only favourable for participants, you don't end up with a penny after the end of the campaign. I can imagine wasting my time on promoting a project for weeks and pay out just $10  :'( :'( :'(

This is baseless is the allocation is small.

They should rather buy some decent already tradable coins and use them as bounty collateral so that people don't have to speculate if and when the coin gets listed and what the price will be.

Everybody will know the team is serious and the promotion is worth a certain amount of money for them not some wothless tokens that might get distributed in 6 months and exchangeable in 8.

You're want fixed payment right on bounties, right? The answer should be payment with stablecoins (e.g. USDT, DAI).

Your suggestions are wrong.

The easiest way out of dumps is for the team to use USDT or ETH to pay bounty hunters, your suggestions are not bad but are long things, unless the project team don't want to give out their tokens for one reason or another like ludena protocol and few others

Are you sure with your suggestions? Did you know that only small percentage of the total budget is allocated for bounty? Then if the value of tokens dump it blame all to the hunters who sold their rewards. Why? The success of the project is depends on the project itself and the team behind it. IF the project has a lot of support from the team with good marketing strategy that can attract and convince investors to invest on their project, I think the value of their token will recover after a dump unless after the campaign and after they get money from the investors they just let the value of their token fall forever.

I believe that OP already stated that top exchanges are important for project to get successful this days, I don't believe that serious team can release projects with no use case at all, all it takes is professional teams that are hardworking but to raise needed fund top exchanges is very important

Heck no.

Why almost all the list only for the bounty hunter ~LOL, even my self joined bounty but to be honest bounty hunter was also one of the reasons why the price token and 70-80% bounty hunter is an angry people.

If you not listed the token on some exchange, they will spam you with "when exchange".

 ;D ;D You can be more of Op's funny nature. Op made laughter off me.

He has a new account and probably suggesting what he/she thinks could work but all the suggestions are like the same story.

Op, you can only advise bounty manager to either get bounties paying with top coins like etheruem, bnb, litecoin, USDT, etc useful altcoins and not to fool participants with shit tokens.

There are many ways for new project owners will influence the price of their token in other not to lose huge value and bounty hunters are not to be blame for token price lost cause the project owner also have a huge role to play.

1) Find a good bounty manager is one of the tips
2) 99% of all bounty campaigns offer few decent allocated token (within 4-10% of total supply)and some use ETH as payment but after exchange listing the token lost value.
3) Going for strong exchange with no fake volume is not the right thing and going for liquidity exchange is what will help newly listed token.
4) Agreed
5) Phase distribution is also another lame idea if the team involved having a good strategy cause i have seen a lot of projects like Ag8, USDQ bounty that does it but didn't save their project price lost.

So many unnecessary step or measurement need to be taken while you can just solve it using stablecoin. Using stablecoin to pay participants is by far the most effective way to avoid dumping but if the alt is already strong enough these kind of solution you mentioned not gonna be needed since big volume means less chance of dumping if the bounty allocation only takes up some small percentage.

It's easy to give a suggestion but I don't think it would be easy too to apply this user made me laugh it's exactly what am I thinking after reading the OP's post.

Listing the new coin project in strong exchange is need huge money
and that doesn't mean the new project will be a great project after list in strong exchange.
One important tips from me, Tokensale is the main way to see the result of project.

You are right, new projects have flaws in various aspects especially in the finance section where they have to find a loophole to get listed on the top exchanges if they don't have capable finances.  Indeed, there is one of the conditions to be registered to a large exchange by establishing a partnership to conduct an IEO on the exchange.

Yes I totally agree with you. Many bounty managers are indifferent to work. Many are inexperienced. Such an irresponsible bounty manager kills the project. So a good manager is needed to make the project a success. Moreover, it is important to have a good exchanger, right price, real candidate. So, your idea is absolutely correct.

The idea is not bad in general. However, how will projects that have no means of subsistence implement this plan? The task of the project is to raise funds. The project does not have the task of making bounty hunters rich. You are talking about introducing a member limit, this will reduce marketing reach but theoretically increase the earnings of hunters. Is it profitable for the project? Obviously not. The project needs to be realized, and only in this case hunters can count on a decent profit.

Yes, I agree with the OP, as the various Bounty campaigns will help promote the project, Also, the project team needs to contract with projects that have the same project competence and they partner with them, the project team should try to contact with the good exchange platforms to list their project coin and negotiate with them for the listing price.

Do not forget about escrow. If you are going to do a bounty and you are willing to give the tokens to the bounty manager, that will boost your popularity and the amount of people that apply to your bounty as well.

Also limiting is something not many place do because they want as much people as possible, hence they just say "we are giving away 100k tokens, distributed according to work put in to as many people as possible" and with that they know that they will not pay more than that 100k token (which is free to them honestly) and they are getting as many bounty hunters as possible. Which is why I believe it is important to deal with these two facts, do the escrow with the bounty manager and also do a limited number of applicants and you are going to have a wildly successful campaign.

The most important thing about a crypto project is listing on a big exchange but unfortunately it's not so cheap like many small exchanges, and unfortunately majority of investors prefer investing on IEO from top Exchanges, my advice to devs is never release a project if you aren't up for the best moves.

Yes, these are essential and important for those who really need it. We all want it for the best, but nothing is easy or free. Please send this recommendation to some professional BMs, I believe denied as homeless people illegally enter. We've been here for a long time, also had a lot of discussion but I feel you need to understand this. We are here to help make that project reach more people and spread blockchain and crypto to everyone. But this is not where you think the project will serve you, so think more comfortably.

No. Even with all your suggestion, they will still try to look for another way to blame.
They just pinned their errors to bounty hunters even though it is just a small portion of the whole pie.
Obviously, that is the start of a scam attempt.

If they are really a good project they can make up even if all the hunters will sell their tokens.
They can even just buy it back for a cheaper price than the ICO price.

addition from me sell in high buy on low. thats how we will earn profit in market for all traders.


not all project could realized it , only few project that have huge fund and good quality able to make it realized. and ofcourse it will not happen in short time, maybe several months after tokensale finished.

Agreed, many good projects team lack how to go about bounty campaign thing, they just hire anyone available and the campaign will be plague with different type of problems, mind you not all new projects have rich CEO of strong partnerships that will invest on the project, some really can't afford top exchange listing

It would be nice, of course, but unfortunately, about 90% of cryptocurrency companies that conduct bounties lists their cryptocurrencies on scam exchanges, where the price of any cryptocurrency drops to zero, and many bounty managers already make a limit on participants in bounty companies and this is the right move, well, of course I would like all bounty companies to be Escrowed from the very beginning.

We both know that its far easier paying bounty hunters in native token than using stable coins or ethereum as payment for bounty hunters, not all team will agree to this strategy, some projects ICO or IEO are still far away when bounty got introduced meaning they have no fund to use to buy other valuable coins for bounty hunters

I think if any project is really doing something for the crypto space then they would have a proper marketing plan. Only low quality or any project that aims for exit scam will promote their project for free. Some high-ranking members suggest joining only those project that is managed by reputable BM or higher-ranking members. Bounty allocation will not be a problem if that project is good. Hunters can not dump a million dollars market easily.

The only way for tokens to not lose value could be by paying the bounty hunters in stablecoins and not the project tokens. Secondly, there should not be big discounts or bonuses during tokensale and team should have some buy back and burn strategy.

If all mistakes are addressed to bounty participants, then that person is very stupid, because basically every project that creates a campaign in the forum is always looking for participants for the promotion section even though the number is sometimes limited, then what is the bounty participant for if in the end they always to blame and if the project which does not have a bounty participant, the token price will not go down? try everyone to think about this for a moment so as not to immediately accuse him with completely inaccurate evidence.

You have hit the nail on the head...
- Finding a good bm is key because we have several of them the forum that are well known with good reputation and also very committed, a good bm can make the campaign experience smooth,
- Exchange listing is subjective in this case because it depends on the capability of the team to pursue a strong and top exchange or go for something less in the main time,
- 100% in support of accepting limited participants, just like my current campaign and the previous one, they are all limited campaign which is very reasonable for both the participants and the growth of the project (price wise)
- I use to frown at this particular option until my participation in the Dia campaign and i realize it was not such a bad option, because in no time the 3 phase is coming to an end, so yeah it is a good way of controlling price.

I don't like phase distribution, so many bounty hunters suffered from this phase distribution, I have a phase distribution from a project that I forget and it took them a whole year before they distributed the whole token, and the token eventually loses its value, the bounty hunters is guaranteed to lose on this phase distribution, please don't treat your co hunters slave if you treat yourself one.

A great advice is when project managers Escrow with the project team they manage, limiting participants so that the allocation to bounty hunters is worth the effort as long as they promote the project, they should list the tokens on the top platforms to attract market investment too.

I agree with all of them and the most important thing to me is the 4th one, when they share it as stakes, would be difficult to find out if it worth it or not since we don't know how many would participate till last seconds.

Limited participants and low bounty allocation is more better than unlimited participants and high bounty allocation, this will prevent the token or coin value to collapse, bounties isn't about how many tokens you can earn, it's about the quality of the project, quality gives higher value

This is what matters the most nowadays,

Since bounty hunters are being blamed by investors and the project itself for the sudden decrease in price of the token, they should at least reduce or try to limit their bounty participants. It is not only for their good but also for bounty hunters who are expecting a decent reward for promoting the project.

These are good! I mean I have seen a project that looks good and promising but their supply is too big, yes they raised a good amount of money , but what makes them into deficit and fail? their exchange, they thought listing in that exchange will help them to raised more, they launch their IEO in their then later they found that exchange is having a fake volume and transaction. Let me give you hint, it is in top 20 exchanges in cmc.

I find it disturbing for someone to think he/she has a better opinion of how things should be done. There are many successful bounty campaigns in the past and they have deployed different methods of how to go about their project. There is one thing I have observed in this space, everything is relative so make your choice

I disagree that it looks as "obvious" as you guys are making out to be, it is not as "obvious" as you might imagine when things are this hard to achieve and majority of projects fail to do this. Look at bitcointalk bounty part and you will see that half of these things listed here are not done by many projects, there are really only just a few places that does all of this correctly without missing a single one.

It means, it does look "obvious" to you but when you get involved with a project and see how hard it is, you realize that if you want to do all of these correctly, you will end up losing most of your money and your investment and you will fail to get rest of the project going if you just focus on the bounty. So they end up not doing all of them correctly and just pick few that will make them look legit.

It is quite obvious now that even if the team and the project is good if they are having an IEO at a low grade exchange where eventually their token is going to trade, then keep in mind that the project is only going to raise small funds and secondly the price is going to dump like crazy, this has been seen many many times so new projects should avoid bad exchanges at every cost.

For the rest except no3 is easy to do, because that decision in their hands, but for no3 is not easy to choose strong exchanges. Every new project wants their coin listing in great exchanges but needs many requirements and if they come with low funds, he cants do it. That's why select low exchanges is only the a solution

Finding a good bounty manager seems to be easy right now because managers are few nowadays. Almost who have been left in this forum are those who gave good results for the past projects such as wapinter. However, I can't say that every managers today has legit project because after all, the blame is in the project. If they are serious at the development of their project or not. Managers only hold the campaign but they are responsible for the success of the project and trust of their bounty hunters.

If they can't list their token in some good and strong exchanges because of their funds is low, that means the projects is bad.
 I'm sure the good projects will reach the target for the funds from their sale. Then they must have funds allocation for listing in some strong exchanges.

1. Find good bounty manager
Such managers cost money, which the project often does not have. But this kind of spending pays off with interest.

3. Go for strong exchanges with no fake volume
This also costs a lot of money. All major exchanges are not cheap, which complicates the entry threshold for new projects.

4. Accept limited participants in your bounty champigns
This reduces the chances of the project to raise funds, because in this case the noise around the project will be much less.

5. Introduce phase distributions
What can help from a dump, provided that by the time of the first phase, the token has already been released on the exchange.

Project teams don't have an idea about how the bounty campaign should work here so they need a guide from a good bounty manager. They have their own set of bounty and adjustments will be made by the manager.

And listing up to strong exchanges is not as easy as you think. If a listing is that easy, we should see shitcoins too on big exchanges most of the time.

But I agree that participants should be limited. For allocations, as long as it will just take 5% to 10% of total supply, should be fine.

5%-10% is too much and will make the price dumped. Try to imagine if the total supply is 1Million if 10% = 100K, that amount will make the project become fail. The amount that makes sense 1%-4%max. We want to enjoy the profits and so many bounty hunters will sell immediately the token if already listed and 10% will kill the project and make us don't enjoy it

I extremely agree with you. For a good projects that wants their project to be known by several crypto enthusiast, they must build a good and respective team stuffs, also find a good and trusted Bounty Manager so that the project would be easily known. Also if the project's token is listed to an exchange, it should be known exchange that has good reputations and also for the betterment of the project, bounty participants should be choose accordingly with only limited participants so that the bounty allocation would be good enough for the participants.

Heard of it many times but you can't dictate what they must do. If the project has their own style of managing, choose them or choose not to participate with their bounty.

IMHO, they know all of those factors but it's not favorable to them because all of those are favorable to the bounty hunters. If they do care a lot with their bounties and participants, we will rarely see bounty projects that are failing and no bounty hunter will complain.

Do you even know what you saying? You just said that token sale is the main way to see results, no matter how promising a project use case is if there is no good find raised through whatever available fundraising events available the development will come to an halt and that's the end for the project

Teams with zero knowledge about crypto will surely take some wrong steps, look at coinmarketcap still rating p2pb2b exchange as a top exchange, If team use coinmarketcap to select exchanges thy will surely choose p2pb2b exchange and it's listing is cheap too, on this part I still blame coinmarketcap

If the project is quack, there's nothing that will be out of it even with less participant. If project is strong enough, bounty payments shouldn't be a problem. How they spent it will not have negative effect on market price and hodlers.

Take for example, If binance airdrop or organize a bounty worth of $1m bnb, do you really think it will affect the price if they reward unlimited participants? No!!! Because binance is a solid projects. This is what new projects should learn and focus on instead of their crooks way of raising capital to finance a project without proper use case. Product before money, investors will rush to buy it including Bounty allocation.

I do not believe that you need to be listeed anywhere decent anymore, you could just use uniswap and that is all most of the new projects need. While we are in this period, starting a regular old ICO and trying to get listed is just backwards thinking and you shouldn't do that.

A new project should consider being an ethereum blockchain backed one heavily but if not at least tron because if you are involved with erc20 wallets that means you will be capable of getting traded on uniswap as well which would give you instant boost. With liquidity providing and yield farming and staking, you are going to get a lot of attention and trading, add bounty and airdrop on top of that which could be automated nowadays, you are going to get famous as well. So things are a lot easier for new projects these days.

It is very good if there is a new project and create a bounty campaign by hiring a good service bounty manager because they dare to pay dearly, but as usual that doesn't guarantee everything will return to the project team
whether or not to attract a lot of investors, listings in the market with good volume and finally clear in the information on the distribution of tokens for bounty hunters, what bounty hunters need is clarity on when to distribute tokens and listings on the market
