Bitcoin Forum

First of all let me ask if What is a Whitepaper? The answer according to Howtotoken.com:

By the power of example, you know what it is. A written document to better understand the technical project behind an ICO. But the whitepaper isn’t restricted to ICOs or crypto-space. A whitepaper is a document long used in business.

According to Wikipedia:

“A white paper is an authoritative report or guide that informs readers concisely about a complex issue and presents the issuing body’s philosophy on the matter. It is meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision.”

Which describes its use the best. It “helps readers understand”, is an informational document meant to deliver you the best information without the PR and marketing filter of the promotional content we get to find on websites, flyers, or advertisement

Lets go back to the question, Do you still have time to read the whitepaper before entering into a bounty campaign of certain ICO? I am very curious why a lot of bounty hunters regrets that they did their best to promote a project thru social media campaign and end up being scam.

Is reading the Whitepaper helps a bounty hunter avoid being scam by scam projects?
Do you really read the Whitepaper or just relying on referral of other bounty hunters?

Read my bounty 60 post during campaign and 1 % this is the reason i joined.

I always read the white paper.I create content.Namely, create a video.How can I create a video if I have no idea what this project is.I think the same situation with writing articles.The rest of the bounty members I think don't do that.A well-written white paper is just an excuse to treat the company well.

Ofcourse you need to read the whitepaper before joining in bounties the first reason is to know the idea of that project if that is different from the already existing project then it will have more worth but many projects were just copy of other so it is not worth and the chance of scam as well.But to be honest most of the bounty hunters don't know about anything they will just join in the bounties and start promoting.

Sometimes I do read the whitepaper but it doesn't exactly clarify many things to someone who's not deep into the topic. And it's also not a guarantee of anything, either successful either unsuccessful project. Projects with bad whitepapers will succeed, projects with perfect whitepapers (and ideas in general) will fail.

To be honest I did not read some of the white paper of ICO projects because it is not the basis for me for a good project. I have joined lots of bounty campaign and some of them have bad white paper but able to succeed on the crpytocurrency market.

Reading the whitepaper is a virtue for bounty hunter as it will be the basis where investor will invest their money in the project. A well thought whitepaper along with the timely execution of the roadmap is sometimes a deal breaker to most investors and it would tell the quality that the developers and the management puts to provide a good service or value that the investor would woulnt to see.

One of the reasons for me participating in any bounty depends on the whitepaper, I try as much to read what the project entails and every information the whitepaper displays, this makes me confident to embark on bounty and this has really helped overtime, it reduces to the barest minimum for me falling for a scam bounty.

Reading the white paper is really a very practical way to distinguish good and bad bounty tasks! I generally read the white paper, but I won't read it too detailed! Because I will combine other factors to decide whether to make this bounty!

You probably all know the answer to the question. Let's have a look at a few characteristics of bounty hunters that I've come to know just from reading this forum.

They generally say nothing specific about the project, just "how great it is" and what a "wonderful team and solid dev" or generic comments like that. They even spell things wrong, they invest 0 amounts into the project. The bounty ends and they are in a new project the very same day. They are able to offer nothing if you ask them questions, just tell you to "refer to the whitepaper".

On the other hand, have you seen whitepapers recently? They look less and less philosophical, more and more generic, less and less technical, more and more marketing. Whitepapers used to be written by tech people, now they are done by marketing people.

Bounty hunters that dont read the white paper are in my opinion ignorant. YOU HAVE TO READ IT

How is that even possible.  I read thoroughly through the whitepaper and view the website examine the team before going for any bounty.  I wouldn't want to do charity work you know.

Trust and fully trust the opinion of other hunters for bounty in no case impossible. Everyone should make his own decision after reading the white paper, as this is the most important project document. Time to read white paper should always be highlighted.

Sometimes i am read and not,sometimes i see if many perticipant join bounty
I am intresting to join too , because i dont have time to read every ico

I will only read the project white paper that I am interested in, because when I am interested I may not only complete its bounty mission, I am likely to buy its coins and so on! Reading the white paper can increase my awareness of the project!

Bounty hunters are the type of people who can't even spell 'Bounty or stakes' properly. I can easily quote a few examples where idiots call it 'steaks'. Reading the white paper is far beyond their level. If they had the technical knowledge to read and understand a white-paper, they would be investors and not bounty whores.

I am going to invest in an ICO whitelist. I'm just looking at Bounty for ideas and wristbands.

I think that reading ICO white papers for investors and bounty hunters is must nowadays, if you are serious about cryptocurrency, and if you want to secure that your investment would make some returns.

Yes of course, you need to read it so you can have all of information about their project. It takes time but it is really good so you can assure if the campaign is legit. Do not forget to read the ICO whitepaper. It can really help you to choose the right bounty. The real one who pays the participants. It's better to waste your time reading the whitepaper than wasting your time participating in some shit bounty.

Lots of criteria to choose a good bounty in order to avoid a scam. including by reading whitepaper carefully.
I am sure, there is written various kinds of information related to the project that we will follow. it really helps.
and the rest, I chose a team from a project to study because a team with an unclear background can cause a scam sign on a project.

if you want various information related to bounty selection, you can visit this thread, please:

I think the whitepaper reference is absolutely correct, but I do not understand who is checking out the whitepaper of the ICO project. and should you trust them

I guess 90% of bounty hunters never read white paper about ICO. they are only interested in paying after the ICO ends. ;D

I think that almost bounty hunters don't really care about reading WP of ICO project behind each bounty campaign :)). They just care about how much money these projects collected in presale or dev team or how many tokens spent for bounty campaign :)). It's the main reason why there are so many complaints about scam bounty campaign :))

an obligation to read the first whitepapers if you want to participate in the ICO project, to analyze in depth to convince the existence of the project, the amount of fraud is very risky for a long time in vain, do not be too lazy to read and analyze if you do not want to get waste projects and get no reward whatsoever.

I never read the whitepaper of a project that I follow, because there are obstacles in English ability. To redeem the default payment aka ico scam I am entrusted to an experienced bounty manager who I follow

  ICO whitepaper is need your time to read. It helps to understand the project but it is not the basis if the project become successful or not. Sometime those ICO with nice project proposal written on their whitepaper did not success when it comes to the market and those you think that the project is not good but it become successful when it hit to the market. Because ICO success is base on the acceptance in the market. Well,sometimes i also read the whitepaper to have more understanding the project before i joined bounty.

I thought I was the only one who found it funny, that I keep seeing steak, or even sticks. Now I know people say we shouldn't make fun of languages, but these bounty hunters have been hunting bounties for months, and still cannot even spell the most used word in bounties. English is also not my first language, so I know even I had to improve my English but I tried a lot, so there's no excuse.

Reading whitepaper is not even what I would ask them to try. They can't even spell their own names and project names correctly, and they just blabber about their projects with no concept. Then these same guys flood the forums later complaining about wrong deposits and how they got scammed. Ironic that majority of bounty hunters who call scam are actually scamming tokens from projects themselves.

Yeah i always read whitepaper by reading it helps me recognize legit and scam bounty task and to understand the technology regarding the project. We bounty hunters are promoters we promote the project its very important how the project works. what if someone would asked how the project works and what brings to the technology and we cannot answer it we look like ignorant.

reading whitepaper an ico project is very important to know good or not the ico project that we will follow it's bounty program. because for me a successful ico project will definitely give good results for bounty participants. and an attractive whitepaper is very influential for the success of an ico project because from there its usualy investors can find out the products offered by the developer, and what are the long-term plans of the development team

Are you sure you can identify a fraudulent project from its documentation? I think that's unlikely. Documentation can be ordered from professionals. And you will think that the project is worthwhile.
On the other hand, there were many projects with poor documentation. But the coins cost much higher than the purchase price.. The fact is that around the projects was a big HYIP.

Surely I will read the Whitepaper of the ICO project that I plan to take on their bounty campaign. The whitepaper is an integral part of the project, and I think that if people do not read the Whitepaper, chances are they will be involved in scam projects.

Reading the white paper feels like reading an End User Agreement before installing a program.It is sometimes long and complex to understand especially if you are not tech savvy.I prefer to read the FAQs on the project website which sometimes contain a simplified version of the white paper before joining the bounty.

in choosing projects should be learned all including white paper is also important.so we know all about the ico, do not just read the gift alone.now many ico scam so be careful.

I sometimes read a whitepaper but not really reading all the contnents written in it. It was going to mvest then I would extra time to read it because I am putting an investments and I wanna make sure that my invesents won't go to waste. But I guess it is preferred to read whitepaper for us to educate of the projects and how would it affect to our community.

I don't know if I am a qualified bounty hunter. My participation in the bounty is not blind. At least I need a preliminary screening activity.
When I found an interesting bounty event, the first thing I did was to find a variety of information about the project,
and the white paper was a good and useful reference.
If you want to improve your bounty benefits, in a sense, spending some time in the early stage is to save yourself more time.

I always read the white paper and see who the support partner of the project before deciding to join the campaign.

Of cause yes, i read a whitepaper. I choose a bounty campaign like if i choose ICO to buy. Because if project is scam i will spend a lot of time and will get shitcoins at best and get nothing at worst.

actually we certainly have plenty of time to analyze an ICO or bounty program by reading their white paper, but usually we do not care about it, often we just ignore it. as if white paper is useless. but it is an important thing to learn from an ICO project

I just skimmed through the ICO white paper because I did not have much time. But I have to know for sure about the team of project and development in the near future.

I have read some whitepaper when I decided to join some bounty campaign, and I suggest you need do that. It help you understand their idea, and what they want to do. And it help you save your time and effect, avoid scam campaign.

I always read white paper and only after that I make a full article or review on this project. It also gives me an opportunity to understand how the project will be in demand and how the idea is implemented.

When choosing a bounty company, I always look through the white paper. Having studied the white paper, you are unlikely to identify scammers.  But the idea of the project, their team, advisors, a roadmap, will tell you the possible prospects of the project.

Of course ,before you start the project, you need to read it in more detail. Just the study of the white book is one of the important points!  I am not lazy, and always study the technical document before joining the ICO!

I don't think there is any bounty hunter care about reading WP of ICO project behind each bounty campaign :). I also don't wanna spend time to read WP as well. But as I think ANN thread is a summary of WP so I often read ANN thread in this forum only. I think it's enough for bounty hunter to understand about ICO project behind each bounty campaign which they're being in :)

Since I join to choose some bounty project I always read Whitepaper, because I will know about team, and others else who make project, roadmap and more information needed. That make me interesting to read that.

If you are going to spend your time just for nothing, you can not read a white book. You take it and make all the bounty in a row that come out. And if you value your time, I strongly recommend you to study white paper in all bounty companies.

I think just a little number of bounty hunters care about reading Whitepaper of ICO project behind bounty campaign. I also don't wanna read as well but I have my other way to check if it's a good project or not like check traffic of their ICO website, check their social media network account like Facebook/Twitter/Medium/Reddis and their telegram group to see how active dev team are, check amount of ETH and BTC collected from private sale, presale,.....

I usually read whitepapers before I make an investment. Reading the whitepaper can help a bounty hunter avoid being scammed, but it is no a guarantee; projects can fail in advertisment and attracting investors, despite it's a good project.

From what i read in this thread, I'll now take my time to read whitepaper

honestly most of the bounty that I do, I do not read the whitepaper, just do it unless I make the blog content.
but we should take the time to read and understand the project we are going to market. so we better understand about the project and to reduce the risk of participating in the scam project. so not only investors who have to read a whitepaper

I do not always read the white paper bounty projects in which I participate, although it must be done to better know the projects that are promoting. However, well-written technical documents do not guarantee that the project will not be fraudulent or a failure.

reading white paper gives an idea of the technical part of the project, but the guarantee that this does not scam it does not. the study of white paper is one of the criteria for choosing a bounty of the campania. The experience helps most. After 3-4 months by viewing the iso you are already in the 70-80% you will see the scam projects.

I always read the whitepaper. Sometimes on it I can understand that the project is fraudulent ...

When I choose ICO projects to join a signature campaign, I usually carefully read their website, which also outlines the philosophy of the ICO problem and the issues that it addresses, as well as other issues that interest me. I also skim through other ICO documents. I focus on the topic, which sets out the conditions for joining the ICO project. This, as a rule, is enough to make a decision.

Yes I do read projects' white paper that I do promote and I always do this in other to have the knowledge of what I am doing and why I should promote that project. Many of the bounties avalible are not good for promotion as there are scam projects and I don't want to work for free for any projects so I select the projects I promote by studying the white paper.

If someone is serious in Cryto World & about its investments, hardwork he should properly read & understand the Whitepaper. To analyze the depth of the project it is important. But mostly Bounty Hunters dosen’t care about Whitepaper they are just interested what the project is offering to them for their campaigning.

I just read the whitepaper because I need it to do social media campaign. Whitepaper is just a project idea introduction. And it don't help you avoid being scam. If you want to avoid scammer, you can see their news, their marketing, their social or their interaction with the community. Scammers can also write a perfect whitepaper.

If you carefully approach the choice of bounty companies, then reading Whitepaper is a necessary action. You can not only get tokens, but also earn on their growth rate

You're absolutely right. I also can't stand reading these generic comments saying "great project good team buy tokens soon moon" about every project. I just can't get why managers still accept them. And the truth is you don't even need to read the WP from the beginning till the end to write something special, the main page of the website is enough in most cases.

When analyzing bounty projects, I spend some time looking at whitepaper, I can not say that I thoroughly study it, but I look through it superficially for sure. It helps a lot when the project has a lightpaper

For me, can still read the whitepaper or important news about the bounty. Because I want to know how the ICO is for the future. I never directly follow the bounty if I have not read important news about the ICO.

You don't necessarily need to read the whitepaper to understand whether a project is likely to be a failure or success. That should only be the case when there isn't enough information on their website. If the website lacks a team page, road map and also typically an MVP, then you can just skip right ahead unless it has some big backing behind it.

To be honest I rarely read it except when I try to create content to follow a bounty program that requires me to read it to better understand the project so I can pass important points through my content

- Unfortunately, reading the whitepaper did not give us a guarantee to be able to avoid the scam projects!
- Sometimes I read the whitepaper and sometimes not. Reading all the content of the whitepaper makes me saturated.

For now, I never read the whitepaper anymore. For joining in a campaign, I just wait for the trusted bounty manager to publish a new campaign.

---

Agree! Because in my opinion, who should understand the contents of whitepapers are the investors before they make an investment in the related projects.

---

Yep, that's the best way for a content creator to get inspired. Because reading always can give us an inspiration

I always read it. But often I don't read everything. I always read what a token is needed for and how it will be used in future. Also I read about team and see roadmap.

I don't have time to read the whitepaper and also I don't think I need it for the bounty, I only check the team etc. and hype level.

Reading white paper is a must, why? because you would able to picture out or do know the entire purpose and plans of a certain project either it would be good or not for long term prospects or having just an another unrealistic goals just like on what we have seen on most project nowadays. Therefore, if you do summarize it all then you can already presume on what would actions would you made.
Hearing others recommendations arent bad as long you had known or have research into the project had been proposed.

Yes, I always read ICO Whitepaper, because I participate only in bounty campaigns of projects in which I invest. For me, participation in signature campaigns is a form of support for an ICO interesting for me, and now I have high hopes for ICO Eloncity, because I am confident in the prospects and great potential of this project.

Yes of course i think it's very important if we have a little knowledge of what kind of project that we support. We can have a good idea weather to support it or not but sometimes you know i have a lazy moves of not reading some whitepaper and i only rely on my instinct if i join or not.

I often read whitepapers because you can not trust the project anyway. I also have projects that I hasten into. I expect such projects to finish quickly but be sure to read it is a behavior that will turn you in the good direction

Sometimes yes sometimes no but usually I see from the webiste,the developer team,the bounty manager and also the number of participants that follow if many members of high rank could be it a good project quality.However it is better indeed,we study the overall project from whitepaper but sometimes there is also a project with the bad whitepaper but eventually successful,the world of crypto is sometimes full of entertainment.

help avoid the scam doesn't seem to naturally and not entirely true. but at least it could reduce the risk of loss which exists. the whitepaper is important to at least be assured of being able to choose the project and certainly many who use this for consideration. but many also ignore the whitepaper and just following other people only.

Me too, I rarely read a white paper and as a bounty hunter I prefer the rules and the amount of tokens that will be given aside from checking the website, team members and how active a project.

Bounty Campaings are an investment of your time. So you should treat it like investing your money into an ICO, which means that reading te whitepaper is one of the most important things that you can do. From reading the Whitepaper you can figure it out if a project is likely to succeed or not.

Not at all. If I was putting money into the project then I would understand why I have to read the whitepaper to know what is going on with the project but if I am signing up for a bounty what I do is to check through the creators page to make sure that they are really working on it. Also I look at the road map for the project, that gives a good idea for what they are working on regarding the future of the coin.

Yes, I do because it gives me a view of what the ICO is. They are some Whitepaper that after I finish reading them I lose interest in the bounty, so reading a Whitepaper is very important to me.

Reading whitepaper is important to save time from scam ICOs or low profile ICOs. What I said low profile is that their altcoin has no chance to pump instead it will collapse until $0. Whitepaper is boring to read but once you are used on reading it, it would help you get rid of trash ICOs to stole money without notice like they are not doing a working product and you as an investor has no idea that the ICO is already dead while you are sitting in front of your device waiting for pump. To prevent this situation then try your best to read and understand the whitepaper.

whitepapper i think it will still be one useful benchmark in ico. maybe by reading whitepapper will generate a lot of knowledge about ico that we will get so i think reading whitepapper for the bounty hounter will be one of the benefits and it is very important.

well, this is interesting for beginners who are involved in the crypto industry.
like this, I think you can do a lot of things in this industry and not just for bounty, try to read every ico project from white paper and learn other dare so that you gain insight. it is time for you to invest or trade. this is a concept where you try to survive and get involved deep in this industry.

I personally always read the whitepaper before following the campaign although I do not read in detail but I am looking for some important things to know in the project. because before I joined a bounty campaign I had to know the purpose of the project in order to assess whether it would be in the future or otherwise

Reading the Whitepaper is for your own benefit and of highest priority to me because I learn something new from it of one industry or the other and their functionalities, challenges and successes  In the first place if you read how can you really run your campaign for them? Whether social media, blog or translation it is necessary to read it for a better representation. I read all Whitepapers I am involved in. Some are large up to 70pages but recently about just 25pages.

I do not read the whole of the white paper, only a general overview of the project, then I check out their ratings ,websites and their smart contract address, They give me a general idea of what project is all about and help me spot any red flags which may spur me to dig deeper.

Well whitepaper is a detailed document illustrating what the development team wants to come up with. Well as a bounty hunter i make sure that i read every bit of the whitepaper to come out with a great content so that my work is not rejected as a copy and paste. Reading the whitepaper also lets you know whether you should sell tokens as soon as possible or hold till project is launched.

Unfortunately, I only once read a whitepaper. It takes a very long time and if I'm not satisfied with the fact that I'll read that it's spent time. Basically I choose ICO because of the team, advisers, road map and ideas. That's enough for me.

Ofcourse this is the first thing i saw before i'm joining a bounty, especially signature campaign.
Because you won't get hurt when you already work for months but the reward is so small or even scam

I hardly read Whitepapers unless I am to write an article about the project. I usually make my judgement base on the performance of the bounty manager, that is I have a critical look at his previous campaigns and how many have been successful. I do a lot of social media bounties so just imagine the number of Whitepapers I will have to read.

Friends advised me most of the bounty companies in which I taken a part. Therefore I did not pay attention to the whitepaper of these projects. I read whitepaper on average about 5 minutes it's not so much but I do not always do it.

Yes, I study thoroughly almost any project I participate in, including whitepaper. It seems to me that this is the only way to become acquainted the project. It's boring and takes a lot of time, but it gives me  huge amount of information about the project and I choose the best project with such kind of analysis.

Agree that reading the information, the whitepaper from the ico project will give us an overview of the project, help us to realize what this project will bring, value in practice or just a junk project, from there, we will make better decisions in choosing to participate and not participate, avoid wasting time. However, I think not too many people have time as you because bounty hunters are not the main job of many people, they do not need to put too much time into it when they only participate in social campaigns, unless I join the signature campaign, I will read the whitepaper, if not, I think I only consider reviews from other people.

Before joining a bounty campaign I usually read the whitepaper or, if I have little time, or it is very long, I look for detailed information about the project. The whitepaper makes us understand the potential of the blockchain platform but does not protect against possible scams. We must also check the Team, the roadmap and many other details, to try to avoid scams

Yes that is right as the whitepaper says a lot about any project and you can easily detect scam projects as most of them are even too lazy to draft their own whitepaper or they just copy and paste other peoples own. The whitepaper as well helps us see their roadmap and know what exactly it is that they tend o achieve and their approach to achieving that. Whitepaper is a good material for understanding any project at all.

I think only a few are reading the white papers of the ICO before joining the bounty. Because they can not know which project is good through white paper. They will choose to participate in as many bounty as possible. I think so

Whitepaper is the main reason why i should join this ICO. I think , good projects include good whitepapers . But nothing helps avoid scams.

Read whitepaper not helping from scam but to understand how to develop the project depend their knowledge and calculation. I not always read whitepaper because I'm not rich person with high education, I just need to know the project concept. If realistic and I see active developer team I'll decides to join, if not I'll leave it.

I disagree with you on this, few bounty hunters would be what you qualified them with. I do hunt for bounty and I can’t do without reading through white paper before participating in any project for the fact that I can’t just waste my precious time. Moreover, I do write articles, no way I would do that in the absence of white paper knowledge

Yes, I do create the time to read the white paper, I cannot waste my time on what I know nothing about for sure

I know the fact that reading the whitepaper may somewhat help us to prevent being scammed by those ICOs. But then, there are times that I admit being lazy reading those, because honestly, most of them were just copied  from  the others.  Technically, when someone is smart enough, just by reading whitepaper, you can easily spot which is just fraud from sincere one.

For bounty hunters I may be wrong but whitepaper has no importance if you don't plan to hodl. Hype is the most important thing realistically.

The whitepaper is a technical analysis of the project itself which not everyone can understand clearly. Experience in the cryptocurrency market helps in this case. I usually check the whitepaper initially before deciding whether or not to join a particular bounty campaign. No one can accurately say that a particular bounty is legit or scam based on the whitepaper itself, but it does help to analyse and check what the project is about. I usually clarify my doubts with the team through telegram.

I don't think that all the bounty hunters have enough expertise that they can evaluate an ICO through a whitepaper. Whitepaper is extremely technical and everyone can't understand that. Moreover, a good Whitepaper doesn't guarantee an excellent project. Scammers can also create a decent Whitepaper and if the company is legit, they might not be able to keep par with their whitepaper.

A written piece of technical document doesn't guarantee a shit!

Is reading the Whitepaper helps a bounty hunter avoid being scam by scam projects?
YES. It is not a guarantee but it will lessen the chances of getting scammed.

Do you really read the Whitepaper or just relying on referral of other bounty hunters?
It is better to atleast spend time to scan the whitepaper before deciding whether to promote it or not. After all, friends and followers on social media who are new to crypto will see them might want to invest just because they saw you promoting it.

Sometimes yes sometimes no sometimes i go with the flow on the comment i will learned in the comment sometimes what i dont get in the white paper i ask it

IMO, reading the whitepaper does not always help the Hunter avoid being scammed by scam projects. Scam projects are probably the once with a well constructed and decent whitepapers out there. But, YES! I read whitepapers of ICOs before I invest my time in them, I don't rely on my referees intuitions because we all have different ways understanding things especially how technical the whitepaper is. I read, make my own researches and follow my instincts on whether to invest my time in that bounty.

Besides you've got an idea of what kind of project are you going to join, you can also get other information in the whitepaper and the rules in that ICO. It's also gives an idea who's back up that project are they really capable or they have the credibility to continue and finish certain projects. That's what important is whitepaper.

I really do not have time to read the whitepaper as it takes a lot of time. With bounty campaigns I just look at the people who are handling the campaign to know if they have been associated with scam bounties before. Then I guess I take some time to look at their website and also look online to see their rating and what people are saying about the project in general

I think all those campaigns are concieved to raise a community however those in few cases achieve the desired outcome.

Whitepaper is most important things for any project. I always read whitepaper, team members links, their roadmap etc. It is powerful way to find out. Recently, i reading scidex whitepaper is such a great project.

Honestly whitepaper is very important in all projects so reading the white paper is a step forward.
But nowadays most bounty hunters don't read the white paper any more
They just participate in the project without reading the white paper.

Reading the whitepaper is a must before entering serious bounty campaign which requires a lot of work. It is actually one of the last steps I do when selecting a project. Firstly I filter the projects with the help of pages like icobench and some friends. Then when I am left with only few projects I dive into them deeply and read the whitepaper. Maybe not whole but more than 50% for sure. You can skip over some parts usually.

as a bounty hunter, not just the whitepaper I read, but I studied carefully and looked at the details of their project concept so that the work I did was worth it

If to be honest, I don't always read the ICO Whitepaper, but sometimes I look for the information, that I need and read all the details. if I see that the project is very strong, sometimes I don't learn Whitepaper.

Now, some investors barely read the shit out of the whitepaper of theses ICOs, what they do is invest in some hype or overhyped ICOs. Even tho some whitepapers are trash, I bet you can still find something useful in them.

Now i see on project ratings in the special websites. Also i see on teem and advisors and hardly ever read whitepaper :)

Sometimes when a project seems questionable to me, I read the white book of the project. But most of the time, h rely on your gut and it does not fail me.

Reading the WP is a must if investing in ICO to get clue what the project is about. For Bounty selection it is enough to read the One Pager to save some time.

I more often than not read whitepapers before I make a venture. Perusing the whitepaper can help an abundance seeker abstain from being defrauded, however it is no an assurance; undertakings can flop in advertisment and drawing in financial specialists, regardless of it's a decent venture.

Bounty campaign is apart of my job so i dont have times to read whitepaper. Also iam too busy in trading activity, to know the fundamental of the project usually i spend only 5 minutes by watching the video explanation of the project.

If you want to be real in bounty hunting you must chose good ICO. You can only do that through white paper of the project. I agree that  going through the white paper can be gruesome and tedious but there is no shorter way.

I believe for being better bounty hunter we need so knowledge about the project for that reading whitepaper is good habit. If you are participating with article campaign or any other media camping reading white paper helps you. really reading whitepaper is help you to select best projects. 

I've rarely read the whitepaper. to participate in the bounty campaign, I just waiting and rely upon for an update from bounty managers which I fully trust to he/her.

Whitepapers are usually long and super boring, and really might be tiring to read. I think and I believe that a lot of people do not actually read these things, not even investors. Maybe a few lines, but they are done once they get an insight on what it is about. Besides, whitepapers may just be as deceiving as it may these days, cos most of the scams projects have even more convincing whitepapers.

Yup, long and super boring are the right description for that whitepaper. Honestly i am just relying more on the campaign managers to know whether it is a scam or not and they should know first because they are already veterans here in crypto. Whitepapers maybe deceiving to some as scammers will try to copy paste everything from a good project and make it their own.

With the participation in the bounty company I read white paper, though not completely, and selectively. And already I estimate usefulness of this product and whether it is worth participating in this bounty..

to be honest, I don't read whitepaper because the content is too technical but I always read onepager if it's available on the project.

I usually check through a whitepaper of a bounty campaign before starting to participate. But it is hard to know if the campaign is scam or not by reading through its whitepaper.

I usually read brief concept of campaign i do, i have a lot of work to do, i don't have time to go through whitepaper before i start participating in bounty.

Well as a bounty hunter I read the ones I can read and leave the then why writing the blog as I read then I write that is my own pattern of reading ICO whitepaper I don't read all at a time it bit by bit.

I read white paper if the project is interested or to understand how serious it is. It is clear that when I'm looking for a project to participate I do not reread everything. And already when the project has liked, one-two, partially I read.
Also when I'm already in the project to write posts in social networks - I use information from white paper.

I always read the white paper of a campaign I wanna join. It is important for us to read it. To avoid getting scam and to know if your doing something rather than nothing. I also check the road map and the team of the project. But the white paper is the most important whatever its meaning in Wikipedia. The content of it is the most important.

For it is important for all Bounty participants to go through the Whitepaper of interested projects they are embarking on. It us the guidelines and also shows the direction the project is going to. Aside whitepaper I also find interest in reading the light paper is there is any available to have more knowledge about the project.

WP is a useless piece of 'paper' until a project releases its workable prototype. If there is no minimum value product then there is no belief to the ICO. IF there is no belief then you should not waste your time to read its wp.

Yes, I read those whitepapers to give me a good idea if their project deserves a support from investors and community and to check if their platform is something the industry needs some of the information on the white paper is not on the website so it's very important to read the whitepaper.

Not all the time mate, Im just basing my criteria in selecting a bounty campaign to participate by seeing who is the bounty manager of that certain campaign. I will only read the whitepaper if Im willing to invest in it rather than that, Im not reading, Im lazy to do that.

I don't lead a lot of bounties,so I have enough time to read WP and I always do it. It os just hobby for me,because it is amazing to find similarities in fake WPs

A great whitepaper doesn't guarantee the project won't be scam or a failure. Whitepaper is an initial representation of the project and its vision and what the developer are trying to accomplish. I've followed and read whitepapers from several good projects and theirs vision to disrupt a certain industry and some of them failed to deliver. None of bounty hunters would notice if the project is scam or legit. Because the scammers are also becoming smart and also evolved and came up with different tactics. If one red flag for a certain project was spoted then it's time to drop the bounty program and spread it to every bounty hunters and to avoid of being scam.

okay i dont comment the ones that read whitepapers. it is better to read it. but i dont think it is so much meaningful to read full of the whitepapers. i just check them if they are prepared professionally or not. i dont want to waste my time reading each sentence.. there are other factors that i should check more carefully.

WHITE PAPER IS LIKE RULE BOOK FOR ANY PROJECT WITHOUT READING IT CAREFULLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DO THE PROJECT WITH ERROR. SO I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT RATHER THEN SUFFER FROM STAKES ISSUE ITS BETTER TO SPEND SOME TIME ON READING WHITEPAPER.

When I participated in 30 or 40 companies, I was not worried about such small things. Although of course this is very desirable, you need to analyze projects well.

now it has been very rare. I usually just rely on from is reached or whether softcap. because if we want to read the whitepaper also does not have enough free time.

I think at the very least read the whitepaper is required. though not fully able to make this encyclopedia of scam at least this will minimize the risk to get caught up in the scam. but sometimes a great many who ignored this and sure enough many are caught up in the scam. Despite the small things like whitepaper but at least made a good reference even in this whitepaper will be seen a clear goal of the ICO are indeed worthy of being followed or just a scam anyway.

For me enough to explore the website and look to the team photos :) If the project looks like not a scam then i'm read the whitepaper.

I believe that this is the main criterion when choosing a project. I do not want to waste time. Or lose their means. I will answer - yes.
