how to check the bonty program is legit or sexcem. sometimes there are bounty programs that do not include the spreadsheet

If you want to know whether the bounty program is legitimate or not, do not focus on the bounty program itself. It will not give you a definitive answer. Instead, look at the project. Carefully study the project offering the bounty program. If the project is legitimate, their bounty program is definitely the same. A legitimate project cannot afford to simply lose their good reputation out of bounty concerns. You may ask for the spreadsheet. If they do not respond, abandon them immediately. That means they do not take bounty participants seriously and might not pay.

I experience an ICO now, the reviews in Facebook website of that bounty is scam and never get back all their money. Also I experienced, I joined twitter bounty campaign and all the spreadsheets are not updated also there telegram group. Some are scam but I don't think some bounty are scam when all of their campaigns are active

You can do the research of the ICO project before joining the bounty campaign. I mean just take a look for their project roadmap, the whitepaper and you can decided if this project have a future in the end. And for the spreadsheet that one of guarantee for us to be pay according to our task we have made. I hope you will find legit bounty campaign as I will find too :)

roadmap and white papers means nothing. how many scam projects had almost-revolution ideas and whites papers around?)) right now most of the projects are investing in design and copyrighting. most of the white paper dedicated to marketing, funding, promotion and recruit system. ICO is the way developers are putting wanted value on their project. since they are not confident that project can reach that value on its own in free market. its very easy to tell if the project has no intentions for future development and main topic is revenue

Don't focus too much on the bounty thread is legal, you should pay more attention to the ICO project is legal, if the ICO project is not a scam, and it completed the ico raise, so most of the time it will issue bounty of token.

I would suggest you to go through following checklist so that you can understand whether they are legit or not.

- The Manager : Who is managing the bounty program is very important because, a trusted manger will always bring up the most trusted programs.

- The Team : The team behind the project is also important as they are basis for the successful project.

- The Whitepaper : Most important thing and written proof (almost) for the success of project. The bounty allocations can be found under whitepaper and initiating cost can be predicted from this paper and thus it gives us the idea on how well the project will perform in the future.

- The RoadMap : Obviously in line with the whitepaper is roadmap, this is like blueprint giving us the idea about how project is going to work, the dates, launches, etc,

- The Buzz : Whether this project is  on the mind of different people or not can be known from the buzz that is coming from the forum, blogs, video channels etc.

You will be fine with this much information.

Yes, may be that is one of indicators. Look at the project before you join, you have to make sure that the team is real, although it is hard to do. Usually good project use eth platform for their token, many people said that token which use waves platform is not so good. But I don't have the proof for this.

Investigate the core team behind the project. Find out if the team members actually exist.

Do they have a track record or experience that is relevant to the project that is verifiable?

Searching social media sites is a good place to start but perhaps more important is establishing if the individual in question is involved with any other projects or discussions related to the project’s development. If the person presented to the public seems too generic, their profiles have little social activity or if their association with the project is unclear then this should arouse suspicion.

Put enough time on studying who are involved with the project and ask them things that you want to know because you can see if they are really willing to push their project. When a project fails to gather enough cap whether its soft or hard cap they will abandon the project and will also give nothing to the bounty hunters, that's why there are campaigns that are getting free advertisement from those die hard supporters that thinks they are legit one. Make sure they have a reliable manager that is securing the funds with an escrow.

Choosing the right bounty program is much likely on choosing the right ICOs please refer to
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2674787.msg29145799#msg29145799
There are already plenty of suggestions and answers that may helps you on that link.

Check the whitepaper and roadmap of a particular ICO/Token you want to invest in. If it's worthy project then you can see how much market value it is holding and circulating its token. May be this way you can check bounty is legit or scam.

Bounty is free only time you lost if scam.

Scam or not its your choice bruv

You can check if the bounty campaign is legit or not.. if they have spread sheet, check on their project, do they have many investor and campaign member.. if they updated their project post, spread sheet and if they response and give their stake or token on time.. you can feel it if this is scam or not..

for me its hard to check the bounty if legit or scam i think its your choose to join but things you considered before you join make a good study the ico project so that you dont get scam

I follow some steps who I also do before I invest in an ICO, like reading the whitepaper and looking at the team experience. After that I decide if it is worthy to join a bounty campaign or not.

The legits bounty program always make good service for their bounty people with clearly information in thread or social media group, specially spreadsheet service. We can consider if the manager have late for coople day to update spreadsheet. But if the bounty not share spreadsheet, i think that indicated their not need the bounty people and maybe their will not pay for bounty people. Perhaps you must clarified that before join the bounty programs.

I thinK you should always try to study the white papers of most of the bounties that you may desire to promote and also find out about the teams that are behind the projects. Another thing that I do check is the manager that is managing the campaign! If a company or developer cannot pay for services of a professional manager to help manage there campaign then I will not advice you should go on with such project.

There's no way to check bounty program is legit or scam, you can try in many ways but I believe will never find the right answer. Most of us see from the ICO basic program ( white paper, road map, coin price, etc ) and some of them just follow with out worry about the result. The way I mention is only how to predict and can be wrong. Take one program, follow until the end and learn form it. Experience is a good guide.

First of all read carefully whitepaper and roadmap, pay attention to the website how it proffesionaly done. Also look around of team how they real

I agree with your exposure
for OP, you should focus more on the project. you should learn it first before actually joining.

For me to choose a legit bounty or a good bounty we should research the background of their team and how they can move forward to make their ICO project succesful.Be researchful also to the platform they have so that it is your bases to and to connect them if you have something to asked with your clarification reference before you plan to joined them

My advice is to check the whitepaper and road map of the company you want to join in the bounty campaign and check that the team of the company that all the members are professional.

of course you must check if it's developers are legit and the coin itself really means business project wise. I mean many coins are now coming up just to say we are ICO to collect funds and scam many investors. In order for you to counter check it is to know more about the devs behind it, their backgrounds and the existing project they work on if there is. Plus the partnership they have and the whitepaper itself, you can also check the roadmap if they really wants to develop the project they are venturing. i believe those are really goods indicators for us to determine that you are invensting on a good project.

Determine which company generosity will be a scam, and which is not, really at this time is not so easy. Firstly, it is worth paying attention to the company manager and his success in previous companies, also on the project itself and its future prospects, on the number of participants in social networks and so on. Each has its own priorities and methods for evaluating the project.

populal in forum, good bounty manager, good team, experience, road map, idea project. thats what i think to know good bounty

The first think you need to check is the manager because he is the one who will handle the project. Second the team behind the project, are those people have a good reputation and can deliver the promise they post regarding bounty. Third is the project itself, is this project have a wide scope and has a need or demand in the future?

As others sais, first look at the project and not at the bounty... if the project is solid bounty at 90% will not be a scam....

With such level of English you better stay away from any bounty program or ICO. Firstly have some language classes.

Be researchful as always in applying campaign to avoid scamming. The right thng to do is know about the background of the campaign you applied and look for the good information about the campaign in order to be safe .

you should check the whitepaper and roadmaps, if it's like a copy paste whitepaper maybe it might be scam.
also you need to check the team members on their linkedin, and do many more researches

We can get the idea about their bounty by researching about their project because if a project is legit then they will also offer legit bounty programs,but no one can find them until it get turned it into scam or pay us after the ICO ends.But if the bounty is running with the reputed manager then the chance of scam is less so you can join there with no worries.Because they may already researched about that project.

I do not really have much experience in the bounty field, but best you should consider the projects they have done recently. If they finish well with collaborative posts and effort then it is a good bounty. There are many ways to check out legit bounty or scam. It is best to inbox for experienced managers for more details.

For me I will do esearch about the project whether it is legit in order to avoid scamming. Check the profile of the bounty campaign to be safe as always. Question your concerns in the campaign if the company not answered all your concerns then reject the offers they offered. Determine the previous they offered to have a great proof that the companies you applied is legitimate. Look at the spreadsheets of the campaign ,and the number of users they have if it is anonymous

I choose the bounty campaigns which pay shortly after it completed. For me it is very important to be sure that the project is payable. The only way to find a good campaign is to participate in it.

Checking bounty campaign needs a lot of efforts and research. We have to include who manage the campaign, vision and mission must be realistic, team members profile must be transparent and concept is simple which everyone can understand what is the project is all about. These are things that I always considered before joining the bounty campaign.

If you look at the project, you would not really know if it a scam or not, not until they get all the money from investors and ran away. But one thing I consider before participating in ICOs, the manager should be trustworthy and and does not have any record of scam projects

You should first identify the project of the bounty, they should have real website/whitepaper/core team/road map. Also one of my basis in bounty campaign is the campaign manager. There are many campaign manager with quality bounties, specially those many trust ratings.

if the bounty campaign looks suspicious and don't have a proper ann thread or whitepapers then it is likely a scam.
you should read the whitepapers then decide it for your self.

It's almost impossible to determine. We need to analyze the ICO, look at the white paper, the team and everything else.

knowing a legit one is to have a good announcement that including all the information of the projects, have a good list and information of the team, roadmap and a good to be true rate per bounty pool. and in addition, social media has more than 3000 followers to be sure that the projects are active on their social media platform and not just on their site or thread.

Having a spreadsheet doesn't really mean that a bounty is a scam or not. There are quite a few red flags though that you can check if you are looking for a certain bounty campaign to join. Check if their announcement thread is somewhat pleasing to the eye and the needed details are there and complete such as social media channels, whitepaper, team, roadmap, website and etc. As long as the thread and the website is not crappy and the project does have a unique idea that you want, I think that bounty campaign is worth a try. I've joined some bountry campaigns earlier and unfortunately the project was paused making all my efforts go to waste so I someone considered that I was scammed. Overall, you won't really know a project is a scam unless you try it.

Of course the project or bounty scam is very unpleasant for investors or bounty hunter. There are some things we should know if you want to see a scam or legit. All we have to know is the concept and vision of the mission.

There are many measures that you can do to check bounty if they are legit or not. First, check on the website and the whitepaper especially do background check on the developers. Second, know the reputation of the project. Third, check if the bounty is always updated.

First of all im looking into topic starter, if topic starter is some newbee or jr. then there is bigger chance of scam, second im looking into how many people are in spreadsheet if there is not alot  then scam is possible too.

On 100% it is impossible to tell, whether legal this project or simply scam. But still, you can analyze the projects and draw some conclusions. Pay special attention to the road map, the official website and the idea of the project. By the way, the most important thing is white paper. In white paper a detailed description of the project. If there is not described a clear idea of the project, then most likely this is scam. That's all, good luck :)

If you want to check if a bounty is legit, it is thesame like looking for a good ICO to invest into, if you can not invest you money into an ICO just don't join the campaign, that is my own, because time is an investment even if I don't have much to invest into the project at that time

its somewhat difficult to identify illegitimate or scammed bounty, to trade on. because some project can be well designed like the real ones, so from the spread sheet angle of authenticating its originality, am afraid not the best precaution. check link and go through.

To know ICO that is scam I think you should first of all look the whitepaper and check the Roadmap. Check the track Record of the team leaders. Also check the telegram group.. Check the popularity whether the coin will have future used.

If you try to look around in this forum, there are so many ideas and points on how to check if a Bounty campaign is legitimate or scam.
The best option for me is checking their Telegram Channel because the number of active members can do a lot of differences and if the Telegram Channel has a very few members then I really think they're not big enough.
Because today, social communities are the strength of the project, its one of the basis of having a good reputation if the social community are active and discussing ideas related and non  related to the project. 

I don't agree with the statement.
There are a lot of ways on how to check if the ICO or project and the bounty campaign is legitimate or scam but the statement above doesn't guarantee the final results.
Their websites, white papers, road maps, the bunch of persons behind the projects are just nothing because today everything can be copy and pasted and publish into the internet. They're non sense. Scammers can make good websites, better than the legitimate projects... Really.
The only thing in my own opinion is bumping on their social communities because Good ICOs and project have a strong social communities and if a telegram channel has only few members like less than 500 and only few of them are active or non of them are active then that's the bad sign of scammers.

Hello!U can Check the legit if u look in spreadshet and conculate all participants stakes +- new participants who can join then u look how much is token distribution on signature baunty then canculate bounty pool on all stakes in spreadsheet then u got ur aprox legit..To check scam or not is very simple,roadmap,whitepaper,street whr they office is on google maps,check advisors faces of companies in google compare with real names,its how i doo need to be very careful with all things and u be good!Good luck!

I suggest that the first move you're gonna do is that you're going to research what project you have joined and analyze carefully if they project will have a future, have legitimate sponsors or advisers or will create an impact or influence here in crypto world. Also, reading reviews from other websites won't do much task so, I carefully suggest to do it also. Have fun bounty hunting!

Read every thing about the bounty campaign and see also the profile of the developer. It that way you can see if what this coin is for and found out if this bounty is promising.

Before joining the bounty campaign, look what you are going to work for and who is responsible for it. If the project seems to have potential when some possibility of making it to work, then the project is most likely legit. If the developers are famous and serious about the project, the chances of the bounty campaign being legit is very much high.

I also think that before joining a bounty you must thoroughly study the project. First of all you need to pay attention to the quality of the official site and the information therein. If the project doesn't look earnestly it would be better to skip it.

Bounty it just a free token and and dont expext too much. Just try your luck bro you're not wasting anything

I have tips to determine the bounty is successful and legit or not by looking at the team, whitepaper, travel plans and experience and expertise of the team behind the project because it all helps the success of ICO and if ICO is successful then bounty also successful and legit .

To say about any ICO legit or scam it is not so easy.

To find out a legit ICO or project we must follow some points after that we will be near to select a promising ICO.
We have to study about the project; we have to check carefully white paper & roadmap.
The role of bounty manager is cant ignorable, if a bounty manager has a good reputation than he will must introduce a legit project.

There are a number of aspects that need to be addressed before you decide to spend your own time doing bounty tasks. As if you were planning to invest their money in ICO.
Team (advertising, their profiles in social. network, experience in the development of the blockchain)
Availability of white paper on the website (official document)
Road map
Page ICO and the number of subscribers / discussions in the social. networks, Github.com Bitcointalk.org other sites
In addition, the telegram Cryptomount channel will regularly publish relevant campaign "bounty", which passed the minimum analysis

If the bounty program does not even include a spreadsheet then be careful, this does not necessarily means it is a scam but if they do not even take the time to keep track of the participation of the bounty hunters then how are they going to pay them, a likely answer is that they wont, not having a spreadsheet is a huge red flag, most of the bounties I saw that did not paid their participants were bounties were a spreadsheet was not used.

When choosing a project, it is necessary to take into account such a moment as the attitude to the work of the campaign management. It is necessary to look at the messages of other users about the management of the campaign, if there are many negative reviews, then the project should be bypassed. Each normal manager for any task creates a form for filling in on a specific template, specifying a link to the participation results, all browsing and painstakingly filling the data into tables with shared access.

You can check the bounty's website,check the people behind the project,read the whitepaper ,a successful ICO has always a good working product so you should check it too,the background and the crediblity of the team behind it,whitepaper and roadmap should be indicated into the website,token allocations should be ideal and considerable,these are just the common things that we should dealt with.

I do not think that there is a universal way. We need to study the materials of the project, their white paper and so on. well helps to know the reputation of a bounty manager.

Good Question... But it's not simple. you have to do research on it.
    - 1st check their project. project idea has to be uncommon, but It will able to attract people.
    - and check their website, Team, advisors, whitepaper and Roadmap. this fact must be in good quality
    - Check bounty pool
    - check bounty manager. if he has a good reputation on bitcointalk you can put more trust in the bounty program
    - check their campaigns
    - Check their bounty spreadsheet.. if it well organized with all weeks that's good point
I guess this enough for filter scams. but I don't say this will filter all of the scams. everything has risk percentage. good luck

You will never know this 100%. Of course, you need to follow some markers. People described them above. But do not forget that the rules can change at any time. Almost every bounty has a condition - the team can change the conditions at any time. Do not be surprised at all. Even the best managers and companies can be compromised.

wow, this thread is really helpful for us newbies to read.
I really enjoyed reading this and learned a lot.

Now I may have to read more white papers before investing.

I would personally recommend legit Red Lanterns bounty campaign.

I think you can find out if there is a bounty thread for this project in the telegram group of this ICO project.
If the official admits it, the bounty will usually be paid on time. ;D

there are many factors that can be checked.
eg project ideas and ideas, whether interesting to follow or not.
in the meantime there are clear teams, allocations for a definite project, and always update information about the project

Learn the concept and the purpose of existence of the ICO are not helpful. check the website and experience the team that runs the ICO with thorough, experienced team will produce a huge project that was successful too.

I agree with you here. Many people overlook one of the most important factors while choosing a bounty campaign which is the bounty manager himself/herself. The chances for a bounty campaign to become successful increase drastically if a bounty manager with a high trust rating backs the project. For example, Sylon is one of the most successful bounty managers in this forum who has backed some of the most successful projects to date. Along with this factor, other important factors include the whitepaper, team behind the project, level of activity of the team, github development etc.

investigate their platform, think of yourself as an investor, check their team if the names are real, and also check their partners if they can influence many investors out there.

Do some research about how nice the project is,the offers if is to good to be true we should be careful of that I experienced like these before they offer so good but in the end a scam, also the community if how big it is because the bigger community they have means a lot like that bounty or check telegram by joining the group to see latest updates.

Spreadsheet is the most important factor to see if the program or bounty is legit or scam, because this is where you can see the progress of all the people who are participating in the bounty. If the bounty doesn't have this and cannot show any spreadsheets, for me it is meaningless to continue on this kind of bounty because you will surely gonna be scammed.  Other things gonna be for the dev team and admins.

if I prefer to look in the telegram, or see from the tread that many automatic speak there.

There are some ways is there check before investing any ico it's light or scam first you have to check the ico team and whight paper with roam map any some research about ico rating than you can invest money.

first of all, i check the team of the project and their cv. read the whitepaper and study their road map.
Is there any unique idea or is it a copy of another project. i read the comment on social media.
These are not totally enough to know but you can have an idea at least.

Try to make friends here especially the pioneer members and try to ask them which the ICO are legit or should I say go with them or follow, I mean search their current ICO you can find that at the bottom of their comment or reply. You must be polite always  to approach them so that it will help you a lot ;D.

You cant decide definitely if it is scam or not but if you have strong proves, then you can state your own opinion. The checkpoints that I pay attention before or during joining a bounty
* Whitepaper
* Team members and advisors (I search the media to find out if they have written articles or commented about project, joined conferences etc.)
* Roadmap and what they did till now / did they achive what they had told before
* Website and activitiy ans shares of social profiles
* Existence of spreadsheet / update of spreadsheet
* Answering the questions or delaying them (on bounty thread, telegram)

It's really hard to find out if any bounty campaign is legit or scam. I often depend on manager to find out legit bounty, if any bounty campaign managed by legit manager like Yahoo, needmoney or deadley, I believe it's legit enough to join. But there are so many legit bounty campaigns are not managed by these bounty managers so we need to check their ICO project to know if their bounty are legit or not.

How to check if bounty is legit or scam? , You need to check the reviews of the ico you need to do research check the popularity of the coin. Then study the supply and the projec with that coin do this coin need in crypto community? can be sustain without trading? when do the coin will be list  in the market? Always check the persons behind the coin you need to do background check. NExt is, is the price is right when you do this bounty? you need to make a plan and analyzed the price and the ico price. Also check the bounty manager if its legit or not. Just study all of that and you will get a good bounty program good luck. Stay away to lending  bounty programs.

You have to check all the information of one project, and also read the reviews about them. It is difficult to find or check if the bounty is legit or scam, but if you study and check the information it will be a little help to find out.

Its not easy way to check on bounty which is legit or scam, I will learn the project, the team working behind the project. Do they have a working product and how serious they are in managing.

bounty is promotion for project so  you should pay more attention to the ICO project is legal,if project is great there is no reason bad for bounty.

If there's a will there's a way, you can check their whitepapper and read if they can fulfill their promises and also their personal social media account if the person involve their project and especially the advisor if it trusted.

I assume that the most correct decision will be to first read the list of those who are developing the project, then get acquainted with white paper. Also very important is the attainability of the goal that the developers set themselves. The rest may not be so important, although the amounts of money, and the size of the reward, are also important.

It difficult to verify if a bounty is legit or not , usually i verify bounty manager history and read whitepaper . Spreadsheet sometimes is not updated but if not included i don't understand how they can verify the work....  

Bounties are not scams, but the some of the projects organise fake bounties to scam other users. So you are basically promoting their icos and they take all the money from the investors and run off. You need to look at the team and at the project if they are legitemate and then participate.

It is important to try to obtain all the possible information of that ICO, but not only the one that is offered in its official site, because practically everyone will try to convince you that this project has the potential to be the next "big thing" in this ecosystem. That is why you should also look for information on reliable investigative review sites specialized in ICOs that have the prestige to provide an objective opinion about the potential of each project. That is a very useful tool available on the internet, and fortunately there are many specialized sites on the subject.

bounty can not be predicted scam or not, but we can see from the team and the concept of the project. which is more important is the team structure because wherever if there are teams who had previously joined the scam project is very dangerous and we should be wary of.

You can determine an Bounty is legit through research and find out what things you want in a real project. For me whitepaper, partnership and community is my basis for a strong bounty campaign. Having a good whitepaper and  containing a detailed information about the project specially on the team behind is good way to determines one's project

Among the best thing to do before joining a bounty program of most ICOs/projects is to see the existence of the products/services they are offering.

If the products/services is in existence, then there is a good chance that the bounty is all well and good.

Do check if any existing company is backing up the project too, this is a very strong indicator that the bounty program does have its fund.

But be mindful, there's a lot bounties out there that even though have existing products/services and is backed by an existing company that will still not deliver the promised bounty payout due to mismanagement.

Best of luck.

If you're looking for a legit bounty campaign you have to based it in their project itself, they should have a clear road map towards their goal and vision. A legit bounty campaign should have a professional look and feel website. Lastly, they have an organized threads in forum, wherein they have a clear instructions or information about the project, transparency stakes and have a legit bounty managers. The managers must have a respectable rank or merits in order to be trusted as well as professional to talk with other members.

Join multiple campaigns at once. To limit the time consumed when encountering phishing bounty. However, if you have the knowledge of crypto. read white paper, roadmap and dev team. You can pick out the bounty that looks good

Even if you are going to do this things still a little bit difficult to identify a legit bounty. Many ICOs are coming in, they have their very promising outlook in the crypto community but behind those pictures are attached with a question of how justifiable they are.

Look at the team and the project. Also it's need to pay attention to the popular resources that publish only good ICO project.

I do not think that there is a universal way. We need to study the materials of the project, their white paper and so on. well helps to know the reputation of a bounty manager.

You can know a Bounty is genuine through research and discover what things you need in a genuine venture. For me whitepaper, association and group is my reason for a solid abundance crusade. Having a decent whitepaper and containing a nitty gritty data about the undertaking exceptionally on the group behind is great approach to decides one's task

I agree with your opinion. Your answer deserves merit. I like your idea about:
1. Check bounty manager. If he has a good reputation on bitcointalk, you can put more trust in the bounty program.
2. Check their bounty spreadsheet. If it is well organized with all weeks that's a good point
I think these two serious points determine checking an ICO is a scam or legit

I think its very difficult to decide the bounty is legit or scam. Especially if we just look from the spreadsheet. For me, firstly i look for the whitepaper of the ICO. If i find some sentences which stranges for me i will skip it. Second i will look for the roadmap. Good ICO always has a good roadmap mainly about the future plan. Third, i check the manager that managed the bounty. Usually i participate bounty that managed by people who has legendary rank in bitcointalk. But there's a possibilty to join bounty which managed by lower rank as far as the manager has good thrust, good reputation and good experience. Beside of what i have explained above, there're also many ways to check the bounty. What i've explained is what i usually do before entering the current bounty.

For me to choose a legit bounty or a good bounty we should research the background of their team and how they can move forward to make their ICO project succesful.Be researchful also to the platform they have so that it is your bases to and to connect them if you have something to asked with your clarification reference before you plan to joined them

Oh way to go, thank you so much

If you want to check bounty program is it legit or scam that is very easy. If you follow bounty threat you must know about this bounty or if you see spreadsheet you can also know it is scam or not. This is very important to join telegram channel if you join telegram channel you can get some update news about bounty. It is another important matter is you must follow project road mam and you must follow who is team member on this bounty program. If you follow this system you can must know which is legit or scam.

well first just check the CEO and stuff you know, prove they exist and look for the bounty manager, are they reliable enough?

Good question required a good answer! Smile, to know a legitimate bounty campaign them you have to study the project itself. If the project is legitimate, trust me, the bounty campaign is legitimate no doubt and if the other way round, reverse is the case.

Investing new Ico always risky . but not all ico are scam still so many good ico coming in the market . before you join or invest any new ico try to check the white paper , market demand of the coin, dev team , company roadmap.

100% guarantee that bounty not scam only after ICO. At this forum there have already been cases when ICO looks good in all respects, and then turned out to be a scam.

You should check the team that is developing the project, especially the white paper. However, there are still ICOs that turn out to be a scam even if the white paper looks really good. Do not look on the amount of bounty pool, some projects are really profitable even if the bounty pool is not that big.

One hundred percent you will not be able to verify this, and the verification procedure is the same as before, which in this forum has been described hundreds of times. You have to go to the project website, see what kind of project it is. Read the white book. Look at the management of this project.

You should read carefully their whitepaper. You should study their platform and you should look for the bounty manager if he/she have a good reputation . Before joining in bounty we should know their team also.

the easiest way is to follow a bounty is run by a professional manager. most of them bring great bounty and most likely is not a scam. However, this is also not a guarantee. or, if necessary, then take a look at the team that runs to the more cogent decisions about ICO and not scam.

The easiest way is to find a good bounty manager.
Because a good bounty manager will avoid these problems for you, there will be no problems with your payment.

Honestly me as well don't know how to find a legit bounty. But based on your opinion mentioned above, inorder to find a good bounty is to find a good manager how are we going to know if we're finding the right one? or how to find the right one?

it's easy to see if a bounty is legit or a scam you just need to look at its site if it is complete with the requirements to run a project to say that a bounty is legit.

to look at the bounty if it's a scam or you do not need to join a bounty telegram to get a deal with running a bounty to tell you whether it is legit or not.

As of now a lot of bounty and you do not know what is really bounty who have pay partcipants. But this is one of the best way to know if the bounty can pay or not by doing a research to their project by reviewing the information of the ICO and you will see if the ICO is good but the ICO is not good for sure the participants will not get paid.

You can't tell that it was until it the dev runs with your money or anything that you give to them including your time, commitment and your hard-work. We can't stop scammers from doing their thing but we can prevent it if we are going to be vigilant and observant with this signs.
1. Airdrops that has the same interface or format in their forms or website even in telegram. (I noticed this many times that I am filling up forms with the same look but different project.)
2. They will ask you to like and follow their social media pages but you must make sure that it is only their project social media pages not another. (I always encounter this they will ask you to follow or like but if you will visit the page that they want you to like or follow it was different from their project.)
3. Donations is from the HEART it was not MANDATORY. I mean the devs can put their address where you can send donations since it is reasonable to ask for it because of the increasing price of gas fee but if donation is being MANDATORY or REQUIRED you must think twice because I see this funny.

my experience in choosing ico not a scam, usually I check the team through the link in listed, whitepaper, website and also check the update projeck development via telegram also twitter project

You must first check if the project is legit. Do your research! Read their whitepaper and the team behind it if their credible and have a good reputation in the industry. I can personally recommend DCC. You can check out their bounty here [BOUNTY] 💰💰💰Distributed Credit Chain (DCC)💰💰💰 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4185316.0)
Their concept is very promising.

To learn more about DCC, you can visit their website at http://dcc.finance/ or follow them on Twitter at https://twitter.com/DccOfficial2018

Good luck! :D

perhaps by joining the telegram group and following updates at any time, and checking the launching ico movement, whether the merchant transaction reaches the seal or near the hard drive. if so then it is worth following, otherwise I think it will be a scam.

does not mean checking the telegram that big members will make the ico is legit. because now there is airdrop where we can see the number and ease of telegram participants can be obtained. followers can also easily we get

Read the white paper of the project carefully to see whether the social media that the token distribution has been paying attention to every day is not active.

It seems to me that the bounty of the projects are in the portal as in bountyhive. Of course has gone through an assessment, so that the very minimal occurrence of project scam. However, if other than the portal, may still be many possible scam. Project scam, usually marked with confuses concepts, at least even enthusiasts of the spreadsheet continues on the lock for a long time. After that usually all it will disappear from civilization. Including the website and the treath will also be lost.

I will see the bounty manager, the product of the ICO to promote, the team, concept, and token allocation. I will also check their community on the telegram and other social media. But I cannot guarantee that the bounty I'm following is not a scam 100%.

Bounty it just a free token and and dont expext too much. Just try your luck bro you're not wasting anything

Fist research about the Project. If the project fails bounty is worthless. so make sure Project is not a scam. then look for the Bounty managers. Make sure that they are trusted and have a good reputation.

This is my experience to choose a good bounty. It's not true for all but many of that:
1. Project has a clear website
2. Managers have experience (Chinese or Korean will be better)
3. Has a good roadmap
4. The target / softcap is not too big

Mostly I just look at their whitepaper but let's be honest, whitepapers can be so incredibly long and boring to read which is why it is better to just skim through it. Then after you can ready the roadmap for the coin which is easier anyway and not much of a read. Lastly, look at the people behind the project, that will tell you the kind of project you are putting your money into.

No way. Your only chance is to trust the choice of the Manager who decided to link himself with a particular project. Often, they do not want to kill their reputation and choose

By checking rating or whitepaper because both will be very useful in the future and also we can see if we already know both projects are legit or fraudulent.

Well as a bounty hunter i do follow some very reputable bounty managers who publishes some very nice bounty and the also manage the bounty project making it more reliable and very transparent and the stakes are updated and when the bounty is over the distribution is made effectively

Choosing a well-known bounty manager is a great way, but don't just rely on the bounty manager, you have to read their own white papers and pay attention to their tweets for more accurate project information.

I try to get signed up in bounty campaigns managed by bounty managers of certain renown, it gives me a lot of confidende and you could ask whatever you want about the project to them.

You understand that often even the project itself does not know whether they will have a successful ICO or not. It's like playing thimbles. No luck. No more than.

the portal may still be many possible scam. Project scamer usually marked with confuses concepts, at least even.

Actually there is no perfect way to find the scam ICO,that is why people were saying do your own research and then join there if you knows what risks involved there,But if you follow the bounty from reputed campaign managers then chance of scam is less.

I propose that the primary move you're going to do is that you will inquire about what venture you have joined and examine painstakingly in the event that they anticipate will have a future, have authentic backers or guides or will make an effect or impact here in crypto world. Additionally, perusing audits from different sites won't do much undertaking in this way, I painstakingly propose to do it too. Have a ton of fun abundance chasing!

Make sure you see a mention of it by the official team. And beyond that, make sure the actual project is not a scam by doing the usual due diligence you do for ICO investments

in choosing ico we must be careful so we can get the legit ico. we can see the existing whitepaper, in the whitepaper, there is a lot of information about the project that will be followed. we can see the team handling, the concept, the supply of tokens, etc. that way we can determine whether the project is worthy to be followed or not

While picking a venture, it is important to consider such a minute as the mentality to crafted by the battle administration. It is important to take a gander at the messages of different clients about the administration of the crusade, if there are many negative surveys, at that point the venture ought to be skirted. Every ordinary director for any errand makes a frame for filling in on a particular format, indicating a connection to the interest results, all perusing and carefully filling the information into tables with shared access.

I think it is hard to found out if they are scam or not, even expert and known bounty manager also scammed and get red trust, i just join any bounty campaigns with has a short period of time of their bounty program so i can join as many as i can.

well you can check about the ICO you joined and if you really liked it and then it's your choice dont hasitate to join.

I generally try to associate the bounty campaign to the ICO project they belong to, the most important of all is to check the reliability of the team behind the project, their previous works, etc.

It is hard to tell whether the project is scam or not but I see some aspects why I consider as the project as scam. First of all the spreadsheet once the spreadsheet was not updating then I already consider it as scam because they didn't check the desired stake. Next is their website once the content of the website was not good enough then I consider that as  scam and lastly the manager once the manager of the campaign has a red trust then I didn't join that  kind of campaign.

One thing i always make my self secure is that i look at the spreadsheets if there are lots of higher ranks joining in,And i look at also in their telegrams if there are mostly admins communicated also to the groups,,,that is actually i did, not just for the whitepapers also be connected  by their telegrams snd spreadsheets.

To check whether a bounty is legit and not scam, one of the ways is by checking who the bounty manager is, reading about the project and knowing their aim and roadmap of the project.

Its not easy to determine that this days because some projects now have their profile on website yet they still scam people, its only to invest on the ones with use case or they already have what they are working on.

It's not easy to know if a bounty is scam, because the cycle of bounty campaigns is usually very long, they are usually in the ICO period, you can't do 100% clear whether a project is real, you can only pass the bounty Manager, Twitter account and other details to infer.

To check for a legit or scam bounty,I look at the roadmap of the project,what they intend doing for the people and the videos they come out with. You can see some bounties with correct videos and always updating you on current issues.

A lot of us have come to believe that the best way to check whether or not a bounty is legit or scam is by thoroughly going through the whitepaper of the project, and its team members, but I would like to say that this doesn't really do anything. In my own opinion, there is no specific way that one can actually determine whether or not a bounty is scam. I have participated in a bounty program that I really felt were legit, only for me to later discover it was a scam

I don’t think there is any easy way to know if a project is scam as you say. What I know is that the team involved in the project is always a pointer to what the future of the project is. The questions I asked myself are:
1. Who is the Manager, what is the past record? Record of successful projects or not
2. The team. Who are the people on the team. Research them on social media. So they exist? Or they have little activity which is recent?
3. The project itself what is the usecase.

These questions will help greatly. But ultimately there is no clear cut way to determine a genuine project

You need to check their projects, websites, team, advisors, Whitepaper, Roadmap, bounty campaign, bounty Spreadsheet.
I think Whitepaper is the most important thing because in Whitepaper a detailed description of the project, if there is not described a clear idea about the project then most likely this is scam. So, be careful....Good luck.

There are certain unique features of crypto and Blockchain: it's decentralization, full transparency through a public ledger and open source code that everyone can see. Scammers and pyramids do not have these common characteristics, they are usually centralized and opaque.

we cannot know for certain how a good Bounty is. but in general, a successful Bounty has a clear team and a good and transparent concept in terms of sales. Team activities on social media can also be used as a benchmark for choosing Bounty because good teams are usually active on social media.

I think its impossible to be 100% sure, so just check bounty managers and check who got  green trust and a lot of successful projects.

There are a lot of bounties out there and selecting a few to participate can be tricky task. Many bounties did not pay as sometimes they do not reach soft cap. Mostly projects do payout if soft cap is reached since they do want to have negative reputation due to not paying out. Another important criteria is the bounty manager who manages the bounty have proven track record or not. There are many experienced managers who work in a positive way and they will make sure that bounties are paid out.

we can cite as an example a lot of projects that as a result turned out to be fraudulent projects. But the fact is that they were initially very promising with real investors interest. Therefore, I really agree that no one can give 100% of the guarantee.

To confirm that you need to check many things about the project, firstly go through the white paper and know the worth of the project, also check the community to know how strategic the dev team are, if these are verified you're good to go.

Its was quite easier then to tell when a bounty is legit it was as easy as seeing the spreadsheet not updated no response when you make or lay complains on the telegram group chat and so on. But these days you get to see a project thats a scam when you get messages like 'the team just disappeared' lol

If you follow the threat of bankruptcy, you should be aware of this bounty, or if you see a table, you may also know that it is a Scam or not. Another important thing is you have to keep an eye on the project mask and you have to keep an eye on who is a team member in this bonus program you can know what is legal or Scam.

There is no hundred percent way of knowing if a bounty is legal or even if it is a scam but the basic precautions is to always check the white paper and also check the team organising it and there credibility

Sometimes even a crappy ICO can pump on an exchange listing so go ahead and gring them all (with some research of course, but rn even good projects are not doing well...)

in my opinion to find out about a scam or legit bounty that is to see their products, read the whitepaper, see the team that is on the project and see their community on the telegram and see the advisor from the bounty if all we have got then I join the bounty

actually the genuineness of a project is not determined by it having a spreadsheet or not. i figure out mine through the number of participants and the mission of the project.

I would rather stay away from those bounties that lack information or a telegram group where you can ask your question, I try to aim for those campaigns managed by users on the forun with renown like amazix or yahoo, in order to avoid lame projects.

In bounty campaigns, a lot depends on the manager. If everything happens during and there are no delays - that's good. But the project itself can be fraud. I believe that first of all you need to study the project. And if it is promising, you can safely take part in the bounty campaign.

At the forum there are a lot of guides that people should use, but they only use one in reality, the rest still rely on the will of the case, or on their intuition, which is sometimes right, but in general today there are no right services that could give specific information.

firstly check the ico ratings sites, very often they ask to pass KYC the team of the project, also learn site and team of project

For each person must have a different principle, but for me in assessing a scam baunty or not usually seen from
- The manager of the Baunty manager, if the manager is experienced, they certainly know more about which ICO is a scam or not
- From the ICO management team
- from heart belief, if I was sure I wanted a scam or not, it would be a problem later, bro.

Unfortunately there is no more or less guaranteed way of checking the bounty. Theoretically, you can rely on the reputation of the campaign manager, but now this criterion does not work either.

Actually nothing. If you want to calm yourself and give confidence to the project, then you can collect all the information about it, learn the reputation of the project manager and try to draw some conclusions from this. However, this is just to reassure yourself.

First of all, the Bounty Manager does play a vital role. Now if the manager is new, then better check the project and the team members and also the viability of the project or business. Assurance of it being successfully reaching the hard cap as set by the dev.
But even after being careful people get scammed, but its not always a scam, like if the project couldn't even reach soft cap, then it's useless to continue the bounty.

You are going to want to look at the project directly then, look at the team members and creators of the coin, make sure that the faces that are put on the project are the actual people behind the coins. Look at the website and the look at the whitepaper, most of the scam coins have so many grammatical errors in their whitepaper which makes them very easy to spot.

In cheking a bounty if it's not legit or scam I prepare to you stick to a good bounty manager that are care about his bounties, bounty hunter, investors and etc. because in that way you can assure that the campaign you participated is a legit one that will give you a great amount of earnings after the end of the campaign.

both of these things is still a confusing thing. legit scam and sometimes different thin and difficult to predict. much of the analysis that must be considered in order to make this be the thing that produces. see the team, whitepaper and wallet is a step that must be considered to determine the outcome of the bounty that will be worked on.

For Myself as a begginer still learn about the bounty program,by looking at participants who take part ini the bounty program. Many participants rank higher or not. But,what am idoing right or... Maybe i wrongly applied things like that ... :D

How to check the Scam project or not? You need to carefully study the project that provided the team and the road map, the composition of the team by name.Also watch the filling of information of social networks bounty of the company, check the spreadsheet, if there is no weekly filling of reports, then in all likelihood it is a Scam project.There are many factors which can otsledit,read the fora here, there are a lot of experienced people who give very good advice and I as a beginner use it.

The best thing to do is to study the project. Do further research on the background of Campaign manager/s as well because it will help a lot do identify if the bounty is legit or scam. Check if the objectives of the campaign are realistic.

The exact algorithm is still not there, you can check the company's bounty on honesty yourself by studying the project fully, its documentation, platform products, partnerships and much more. Also, you can get acquainted with the various services that are rendering projects

Checking bounty campaign needs a lot of efforts and research. We can get the idea about their bounty by researching about their project because if a project is legit then they will also offer legit bounty programsThere is no option to indentify the best ICO but research and gathers knowledge. If you don’t want get scam you have to research. It’s not easy to get scam by an ICO, before making decision to invest in ICO make sure that it has a good developer team and the project is good and realistic. For good ICO check this list Product how effective could it get in real time developer team how experience and their influence, carefully read whitepaper understand the business roll out process and 100% grammatically correct. Make sure that their team member expert on crypto currency. Checking the team member background. Browsing to find information about the opinions of people about ICO you want to follow. if many people give a positive impression then the ICO is good another this check out that their goal and vision. The goal should be achievable and not only be put in imagination. Make sure they have a reliable manager that is securing the funds with an escrow.

read whitepaper and team.
analysis their projects. are it a good projects or just a imagine projects.

Sometimes, whitepapers are properly written but still the ICO is a scam. Scammers nowadays are really up to date. One smart person can make a good whitepaper. So, better to look at the managers and team of developers. Look for them online, they may not be for real or just used by the scammers. Its really difficult to check for the validity of the team. Looking forward for regulations in ICO's to bring back the trust.

It is very difficult to determine which projects are legit and not scam, because there are many good ICOs but the Bounty Hunter just get few benefit from ICO.
I recommend you to see the allocations provided for the bounty program, and you should see the bounty manager whether the manager has good or bad records. Finally try to understand the vision and mission of the project whether it makes you interested in participating in the project

There is almost no way you could guess which ICO is scam or not the only probable way would be to participate in a bounty by a trusted manager.

I think the only way to find out which bounty is doing now is to look at the team behind it. The consultants now create a large label on the project. If you look at the project's roadmap, you will find the right project.

Many criteria. The most important of which is to carefully study the project. Next, study the manager of the campaign bounty, how many he had successful projects. Appreciate tasks for bounty hunters and requirements for participants, the more stringent the better. If you have any doubts, then do not participate.

in my opinion, You can see the bounty allocation, see the project product, see the project partner. Also make sure Tokensale has good progress. or you can join a bounty campaign that has reached softcap.

And this question happens again. Do you not check on this board? Do you not use search engine facilities in this forum? There are enough threads explaining this question. Do I have to explain again about this? You better read it. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2989427.40
You can read in the comments column. There are quite a lot of explanations there and I have found the same thread several times on this board

so you know how to scam your bounty. read the white paper carefully and join their telegram to find out if it is true. Be smart to join because there are a lot of scam bounty campaigns.

Spreadsheet can in noway defend you from scam, it is a simple table, they could count your stakes and even tokens but finally won't send you or will send but token will never list on any exchange.

You can always look at the spreadsheet to help determine if the bounty is legit or not. Also one of the things that you should look at is the bounty manager, look at the rank on the account and also the trust. It will help you know if it is a legit bounty. There are managers that are known for partnering up with scam bounties a lot.

We can reach it, If legit or not. But for I will still join either legit or not. Because once we have a lot of bounty. One of all bounty will be succeed. Every bounty you've joined the chances to get legit will increased. So for me join on more bounty to get chance to get legit bounties.

I think it is almost impossible, you can just watch the reviews about the project and analyze it, but it doesn’t help

well, as good as any scam project covers it, surely they will make a fatal mistake to know. maybe you didn't know at first, but, you have to keep waiting for that to happen. well, it is indeed very difficult to distinguish scam, and original projects.

There is a lot of important thing to know if the vounty is legit or not.. first thing first the bounty manager who always update about the rules of the project. The whitepaper you can check all the details about the project also the spreadsheet can defend you from scam.legit or not you can participatr in any bounty but be carefull to choose what you can join for you to gain more income.

actually checking a project cannot be seen in the spreadsheet.
sometimes there is a project, we just registered our work, it has been assessed and appears in a spreadsheet.
but, a few days or weeks later, the spreadsheet cannot be accessed and the project is lost somewhere.
I agree with this string of suggestions from our friends.

Actually, I first of all look at the number of subscribers in social networks and if there are less than 2000 then I look at other projects

Even after all possible checks you have a very great chance to run into either scams or bounty that will not be successful. Suck it up:)

I think the crypto currency space is so advanced and unique that
It is quite impossible to figure out spam projects

Why ??

Because project teams now employ people to write whitepaper with fantastic ideas, prepare a fake team with good profiles
Fantastic offers all through

I think it’s just luck

We must read those platform they produce to make sure it Is a legit one, or shall we have to know the number of participants who involve in such projects.

yes we can't do the analysis really to see the project is a scam or not. because there are also projects that actually pay bounty participants and make listing tokens in exchange, but after that the coin is lost. it will make everyone including bounty hunters and investors feel the loss.

That's the risk of being and investor, losing your money on this kind of scam. Yes, there are scenarios wherein token are listed on exchanges but after some time the developers and team will abandoned the project.

To be safe in joining bounties, You have to check first (this  my own opinion) who is the one handling the campaign . Is the campaign manager a trusted and well known campaign manager here. (Sylon, Amazix, Colorlessk /BountyHive, BlockEye, Wapinter, Deadley, Btcltcdigger, newslike and Atriz) these are the bounty managers who have good trusting and They make sure that there bounty hunters are paid.

I think for someone to know if a bounty program is legit or scam, you don't need to focus on the bounty. Your focus should rather be on the entire project and do more background checks about the team and the name they have built in the industry .

The manager is not so important. Look now there are many campaigns from the BM you listed are dying or can't complete the softcap. This is not really effective to distinguish between good or bad. If we do many campaigns, we will have experience in the selection

Its very risky to invest to ICO but in the same time good opportunity to get more profit. For me to know if the bounty is legit , I make time to read and research the bounty manager if the bounty manager is provent and trusted then I root for that bounty manager and atleast join to every campaign he/she will assign.

Well there are some thread that tackls about this scammers and legitimate bounty’s.look at this

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2896030.0 Thres how to learn before investing in ICO

And this is how to find scam projects

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3415026.0

And heres how you find scam website thats mostly basis of legitimate projects

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4456502.0

There are a lot of different methods of how to find a legit bounty. You should check the community numbers on all the social media, read the whitepaper and check the rating websites. Moreover, you can check the team members of an ICO.

overall we have to check the team and also the ico concept that holds a bounty campaign because it will determine whether we will get a payment or not, so we have to be more careful

Verification is indeed a very important and responsible process, because today’s scam projects are much more and these projects are no different from normal projects, unless of course you devote time to the new law of regulation

The truth is its really hard to determined a scam ico. Because lot of ico today got good platform and whitepaper but in the end its a scam. My advice to you check carefully the team if its real. Ico activities also will be help to decide.

Well there's been many of our fellow crypto enthusiast and fellow bounty hunters had experienced on joining bounties which are scam because many of them are persuaded easily by the promises of bigger stakes not knowing that one or two in the ICOs development team in involved in previous scam from other ICOs, so next time investigate first about the bounty that you will be joining to avoid being scammed again.

You can check the rumors about this campaign. Sometimes people are talking about some campaigns and find out that it is a scam.

First upon you have to check the team behind the project. And after that, you can check their whitepaper to get know it is reliable or not. This kind of basic things will help you to find a legit project.

Check the Internet pictures of the team, which they post on the website. Read the white paper, it is also often copied. Just check social networks, age, activity, through which there were subscribers.

It is not difficult to check the legit of the ICO bounty project: just check the info about it at different ICO rating sites and check the linkedin profiles of the team.

For me, its very difficult to Identify if bounty is legit or a scam. I always read on the white paper what is happening to that bounty. I also research their project manager, If I knew who is the project manager I can trust that bounty because their is a big factor of legit bounty if you know the project manager who handle the bounty, you can trust it because its a big discredit if they handle a scam campaign.

you have to do intensive research , not just by looking at the website and looks ok then you decided its not a scam, remember even tho you are not investing money, time is as valuable as $$

I agree, you should read and analyze the project that you want to join. Do a research about the company and the owner of the said project in that case you can detect if legit or not.

as for me I try to find information about the developers team. if they don't hide and have real profiles so this project is not fake.

That is the hardest thing to determined about how to check a certain bounty whether itis a legit or a scam bounty , maybe one of the thing to considered a bounty project is the team that managed this project ,the platformof works if it is really need in the business world, the allocation of the bounty project if it is sufficient and the forum manager who promote it in the bitcoin forum.

Man, I have a strategy in this field. I check several things like how looks like ICO in general, how big is bounty pool, collection progress and things like that.
Another point is transparency. It is very important for me seeing transparent team

In my practice of working in bounty programs there were many different programs and honestly I’ll tell you it’s hard to understand which bounty will be normal and which one will not. There were such situations when ico was collecting good money, but in the end they did not pay anything, and they had everything inherent in an excellent program. Of course, if there are no tables or no activity on social networks, all these are the first signs of scam. It is necessary to choose several criteria and select the bounty program for them, then the probability of getting on the scam project will be much less.

It is difficult to test a fraudulent bonus program. We can only minimize this through experience and self-examination. You should first check the managers of the bonus program, then check out the ICO project, their development team, their social networking accounts. etc.

For me, I check the bounty managy first then, the ICO team members of the project. But that not ends there, you must also observed the activities of the project like checking there appearance in conferences or activities like doing live streaming or even by promoting their project through an interview. If none of this happen during the first mont then consider it as a scam or weak project. Also check their telegram if there are legit investors not just a paid chatters. Also check their smart contract.

and the most important thing is we have to consider the allocation for bounty too. We must consider the bounty period with the promised rewards so that we get the maximum reward according to the work we have done.

Well the only way to check legit bounty is by making a background research on the project, to find more about their teams and founders and check if they are real, if there is no clear definition about their teams and founder then i will leave

I think it's quite difficult to determine which one is the scam or not if we don't have enough experience and knowledge. There are many factors that make the project a scam, one of which we can detect from the start is the realization of the project and the development team, if the team and project look good, another factor that makes it a scam is they run away and do not continue the project. Complex right? So in my opinion just live it, if stuck scam just thinks it's an experience.

One of the most difficult things to find in crypto is assuring yourself you have hit the real project because the guys are too smart than knowing it fake. But my advice for you is to do any bounty your mind goes with you will surely earn your rewards one day.

You need to make a little research for the project that you will follow. This is so hard because to determine the project is real or not we need to extra careful. 80% of bounty campaigna is fraud and other 20% its hard to find. Maybe you need to follow project that manage by trusted BM.

It's not difficult to check, simply look at the team's profile, is it appeared on any review site, how big is the community,...

In my opinion, see the BM Bounty, you can see the following thread from Ranillo79 : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3085997.0 Or you can choose from the Bounty portal, thread from iwanirawan : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3918625.msg38366678#msg38366678 and don't forget to learn the bounty whitepaper. Good luck to you.

Checking whether a bounty event is true requires a lot of observation. A spreadsheet is just one of them. I also checked the availability of the project product and I will verify the authenticity of the project team.

we can see from the composition of the team and also from how the ico concept is implemented, besides how the developments on social media and also the roadmap are running. maybe it can be one of the determinants of bounty that can be legit or not

I think analyzing and doing some research on the bounty campaign project is the best thing to select a good project.
Since there is no one who are able to do that precisely even though for someone who already been a long time in crypto world.

Check everything about that project (TEAM, Allocation and cooperation is real or not) or you can choose ICOS from the legit bounty manager or you can find the good bounty from coinschedule, i hope this is information will help you to choose the good one.

No Now I have learned to design ico in such a way that they look like ideal projects. Scammers also learn to monitor information for more of yours. Therefore, participation in the bounty is like a game of Russian roulette. You can calculate the probability of victory, but you still have to rely on luck.

I think this is usually related to the ICO project. A good ICO project plus a well-known bounty manager can ensure that your time is not wasted, but it takes a lot of time to look for it. In the cryptocurrency downturn, this is usually difficult.

That's how doing background research is very important to learn. There are tons of guide you can find in this forum all you need is to explore and educate yourself sometimes depending on your own will help you a lot and that's being said i'll give some quick tips in choosing good ICO's. First see if campaign manager has good reputation second go to icobench in order to find out the ratings of that ICO.

Yeah that could give you a hint, also you could look at the usefulness of the project and the team behind it since it really tells a lot. Also check the roadmap of the project and the future plan in terms of mission and vision.

It cannot be better said. I absolutely share the same understanding and your information did add to my knowledge about selecting an ICO to support. I have even lost count of such ICOs that after laboring for months in their bounty program only to end up with little or nothing as rewards.

There were times that even when the team is verified to be real and had previous connection to crypto companies, there are still times that they can turned scam. There is just no assurance to all these ICO which is why the SEC is regulating all these. There's higher chance of the ICO to be legit though when the team members are professionals and has great project concept.

Personally I do not dedicate much time in trying to research about bounties to participate in and how authentic they are. Personally all I do is to find out already projects that are on campaign by watching what a lot of older members are promoting, I copy them and check out their campaign page and select among the ones I am qualified to participate in amidst several other factors such as how long, percentage allocation, community and so forth

It is necessary to study the team. Watch their offi-fi pages in social networks to write off with them to check whether they are or not. You also need to look at the contacts posted on the site, the planned amount of fees and so on.

To avoid wasting your time and not contacting a fraudulent ICO project, you should carefully study it. Ask for help to rating sites. Examine the project team, as well as the product that the project offers at its base, whether this product has real application in life or not, how realistic and quality white paper the project is.

I guess in order to figure out if the bounty is scam, you should see if their community is active and there is a working product proposed by the project, another thing is a real team behind it and competitive advertisements.

I pay attention to which bounty manager is running and managing the campaign and is there any news about it on sites if there is which sites have it. I check for which icorating sites give what points. If you are a bit lucky to bounty should be a scam at all.

For me there is no legit way to determine if a bounty is a scam. Almost all of the bounty hunters experience being scammed and even the most tenured people on this forum were scammed as well. I hate to say this but ICO's has already mastered their art and they will keep on doing it since no one is being punished. That is why I prefer quantity over quality, the more bounties I joined, the more chances of finding a legit ICO.

Yes you can check or do a research on it,but some campaigns are not good enough  usually in the first place they use to be more active in telegrams but when the campaign is up or done,its so dissappointed sometimes because theyre hiding anymore,..its only a luck when we get a truly and a legit campaigns.

analysis of the bounty from all aspects. see ICO that run bounty from the concept of a whitepaper and also an existing team will determine the outcome. In addition, saw the manager who runs will also be able to give fairly good results because this will determine the journey from bounty is happening.

It is same with how to check ico is legit or scam.

If the ico seems genuine, bounty is too. But sometimes legit icos scamming bounty hunters and that can't be anticipated before.

Not just the spreadsheet i have participated in a project with no spreadsheet update and it came out successful we should check the telegram group and the website and also the road map sometimes may help to

all nobody knows the end result. sometimes some ico projects and bounties look very convincing, from teams, concepts, to ico's sales revenue that is smooth. but sometimes they run away and bring investor money. so we will not get anything bounty. it is very difficult to see who actually paid but for me now choosing the project that will actually be completed and the results also being seen, it makes me more interested in joining the campaign.

We can find a good bounty if we doing to read some of them website or the whitepaper also.
But if you know the campaign manager of the project maybe the campaign they handle was not a scam, And they are some campaign manager are trusted and until not i'm always participate on the campaign they have.

It is hard to find it out , You need to check its bounty manager , its website and its team , You need to check the ICO fund and to see if it has reached to its soft cap or not , Totally I just try to choose the ones from bounty manager reputation .

Basically, no one knows if the bounty is a scam or not. And it's hard to recognize that. All you have to do is so not focus on the bounty thread or the allocation of the bounty, more focus on research of what is the best thing about that project and look for all important details of the project like team, road map , white paper.etc.

You should start with the project, because if the project is a scam, no bounty hunter will get their payment. First of all, check the whitepaper. Then research the team members and look at the project development. If everything seems legit, feel free to invest.

Yes sometimes gift programs are not included in the spreadsheet so it's a little inconclusive or scam. scam or not, I don't really understand because it's very difficult to distinguish, I try to convince by looking at the product and the development team via telegram. I am still trying to learn to understand all about crypto in order to become more proficient in following all procedures.

This days I think it is a bit difficult to get to know legit or scam Bounty. This days most of the Top Bounty Managers have gone on silent mode without telling us what has happened or what could have happened to them. What I see this days are Bounty Managers being paid to promote Projects that they do not know the Authenticity of the team. So this days I select The Bounty Program I Participates in because it is really difficult to know if scam or legit. Some might come out as real but end up not reaching Hard cap or Softcap. Which is a Big challenge also.

I prefer ICO or projects that have real products, and in my experience, projects that have real products are mostly not fraud.
be careful when choosing a project. otherwise your time and effort will be in vain, and you will only get disappointment.

I chose to sit and wait for the project to reach the softcap, after that I entered. it's too risky to follow the campaign from the beginning for a few months and at the end of the campaign you don't get anything just a garbage token. this is the choice to contribute to the campaign so that your time is valued.

There are such projects. And I participated in them. Paid a lot and honestly. Of course the spread closed is bad. Well, at the end of the program, many give it up for consideration.

I think the only place where you can check that is on Twitter or right here in the forum, I think there is a subforum called scam accusations, there are several reasons for the accusation and among the community, we see if it is a real scam or not, rest, most comes with experience.

Just do your background checks and extensive research, check the road map of the program and then the reality of the the whitepaper. Communication is also keen to detect real and scam projects.

the simplest way is to choose a project that you think you already have an investor in privatesale and softcap, and also don't be easily tempted by a project that offers unreasonable rewards for example 10% of the total supply is allocated for bounty and also chosen by trusted bounty managers

and this year is the number of fraud projects starting to emerge and too difficult to distinguish from other projects that are indeed real and require capital from investors. but the number of investors this year has decreased, seen from many projects that have difficulty getting investors

There are a lot of ways to find that which ICO is scam and which ICO is real the best thing for it is to find the team members of the project if the project team members are real and they have verified their KYC then you can rely on the project to work with them.

I do not trust myself in choosing a project to promote in 2 months or long that's why I rely my trust with other people and the bounty manager that I really know that has a best luck in choosing the project to promote. And I think it is the best way to prevent from getting scam by the other people who only want is our investments that offer to them.

if there is something that can determine the Bounty is good or bad then there will be nothing wrong in choosing Bounty. Even though there are certain ways certain people will not tell you so you have to learn by yourself in choosing Bounty. and my most important suggestion is to always try and try that's the way that will take you to good Buonty

I have three key things to look out for which is I check major review sites like icodrops or Icobench, I trace the team on LinkedIn as well to match their academic records and I read whitepaper to spot plagiarism. I have a post on it already. You can check it out. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5076769.0

Unfortunately until now there is no definite place to know that ICO is legit or scam, we can only analyze and of course the courage to take risks, and rest assured that with experience we can know which ICO is legit or scam.

The best option is to check the ICO, the team, the documents, the only way you can see a small picture!

I believe that now the number of failed projects in the bounty market has significantly increased. But it seems to me that now you can find promising projects for work. To select a suitable bounty project, you need to carefully study the information about the manager, the concept of the project and the proposed technologies.

If we want to know the campaign is good or not, better looking on bounty manager. If the manager trusted, i think we can assume the campaign and the project is legit. Beside that, we can looking rank on some reviwer website

There is no way or formula to check a bounty. Most of the time, it is the ICO itself that was a scam and not the bounty. I rarely hear a bounty that was a scam and the ICO was legit. Bounty managers are just being hired by ICO's and it is not their fault if the ICO ended up being a scam. They are on the same situation as a bounty participant, worked hard but didn't get anything in return.

Carefully study the projects and you will be sure that you will not be deceived.
Many people choose a bounty campaign on the basis of the percentage of money collected. I think it is better to choose the prospects and reliability of the project.
2% of 10 million is much better than 5% of 1 million.

To find out if a project’s remuneration is legal, and to protect yourself from fraud these days, you need to study it, analyze the remuneration manager, you can certainly take a risk, and by acquiring skills you can already understand what of them are real
