Bitcoin Forum

Becareful fellas, new projects are now showing up just because of the Bitcoin hype growing around the internet, the FOMO is alive and no one wants to miss out, now new projects are joining the train as well, behold 'its all about money making' ,do not entirely put your trust in new projects, even new bounties are showing up too, I pity you if you don't know how to patiently do some research

You mean new ICO or IPO or IEO projects. Because I don't see any new project like in the old days, I mean with No premine/No iCO/No nothing.
I kind of miss the old good days.

everyone wants to take advantage of the bullish trend of bitcoin, new projects / ico are born like mushrooms but given the negative trend of ico of the last two years of ico you have to think twice before investing and possibly first take all possible information such as credibility / experience of the team, validity of the project and whether it has commercial applications on the market...

No matter when a new project pops up, if you want to spend money investing in it, you have to do properly your homework, researching the background, the team, the long term viability of the project ...
If you invest without thinking you are not better than gambling.

Those projects are not limited only to an ICO or IPO or IEO or STO project but it can be some sort of HYIP project and cloud mining project. There are a lot of new projects created lately, I even found a local one related to mining. In 1 week, the project disappeared after taking all of its investors' money.
Point worth to note, everything related to cloud mining is fake. Do not invest your money in it, because mining is not profitable anymore. I am saying it because I see a lot of cloud mining-based project came up these 2 months, be careful.

If that new project is the same as the previous projects, I don't think that it will reach many investors because they already get a bad experience with the old projects, so they don't want to get the same experience. But if the project can be different than the old project, then maybe the new project will have a chance to succeed although, in this situation, it still difficult to succeed because the market still not moving to a higher price. Maybe that new projects need to be patient and still to run the project step by step.

The last project I'm aware of that has no premine no ICO is veil project, a better version of Monero privacy coin, most new projects target nowadays is money so projects with no ICO will only come once in a blue moon

I think investors are enough experienced in choosing projects, and I think they will not easily believe in new projects. So the new project must really have good innovation and have a clear vision and mission in the future.  But I see a new project now just like the previous project which only scam projects.

I think OP is talking about Bitcoin halving? Well the hype won't make Bitcoin grow past 10k till the month of May gets here, it does look like that, I suggest people should keep earning profits from the corrections

Yes new projects are now coming into crypto space and I bet 90% of them are scam, now is the right time to be very vigilant and cautious, investors will want to invest more into projects because of Bitcoin Halving and scammers are ready to take that advantage as well, all eyes open, be on guard

Why not name some of them?
That way we could avoid them easily without the need of too much research?
It would be a lot of help right?

One person cannot do it all, that is why we are a community here.
What if one of your friends here is already being a victim of what you are trying to say?

Im thinking if this is good since market are started to recover already. I do hope new project launch ar enot just money making projects but to be honest most of them are like that and we just need to choose carefully which one to play with.


Dont stay with these crowdfunding sources. If your a hunter pick only those who have funds and have at least potential to be developed. More projects now focusing on trading and exchange listing. Try to look on projects involves use cases.

Where are the projects that requires not a penny and deliver something very astonishing? I mean projects with no premine and no ICO? I trust them more than IEO, ICO and STO projects

Doing a research is a must before making an investment because it will assist you on determining which project is worthwhile. You need to have a strong foundation before making any decision with regards on your investment because one mistake can make an impact on your funds.As an investor, it is your responsibility to ensure that your money will be invested on a worth it and profitable project. You can't make an investment without considering the possible result of your actions so be careful and check every information before risking your money in new projects.

Top altcoins will not bring huge loss even if Bitcoin goes down, they are better than most new altcoins, Bitcoin is still the best choice if you aren't ready for a long term investment holding and also it's the best choice for traders

That's it, many projects are already up and many will continue to show up with funny ideas, and just like you said, the hype surrounding the crypto space is what's attracting them. Therefore one needs to be careful of where he invests, and very importantly, invest a fund you can afford to lose not your entire savings and no matter what is being said about the project or whoever that is promoting it, do your own research to be informed on the right decisions to take.

Most of the projects now are really good out of 100% I could say that only 2% are could possible legit. Because most of the project now are really a bunch of shit and most of them are just scam in the end. They are only good for hype and sweet words to attract the bounty hunters to promote their shitty projects then in the end they won't give all the rewards to their participants.

that's rigth mate, scammers now coming around us again they thinking market starting recovery. as we know now bitcoin and altcoin price showing good movement in few weeks ago and i see many new project occur now with different concept. if we want to invest our money better put it on major coins that already proved in several years ago.new projects need long time to prove their quality.

 :D the current state of the cryptocurrency is not a type we look out for new projects, possibly you mean projects that are coming up aren't good for investment. Yes, many projects which has been launched are found to be either targeted to scam gullible investors. That's why we must be careful about the types of projects we invest into. Sincerely speaking, am not seeing new projects like in 2016-2017. We should be open for research because only this will help us grow our intelligence towards these set of scam projects.

Of cos, what do you expect? This is the golden years for scammers to be able to get their hands on cool thousands of not millions of Dollars, the season is here again and we will start seeing attractive offers from new projects, the wise ones know what to do.

Maybe we have to change our mentality a bit and don't live easily with the hype.
New project needs to be develop in order to appreciate its value, if it rises even if the development is not mature yet, that's when we are careful because after the pump is a big dump and I have witnessed that many times in different projects.

yes the hype is on bitcoin but this is good, eventually altcoins will follow as bitcoin rises more.

You may right and you may wrong too. We can't make a negative assessment to new project. I think the developer has been prepered to lounch their project and they choose now as a right time. There were a lot of altcoin who still alive until now when they lounched at HYIP three years ago. You or some people here who intent to invest in new project maybe you must provide a free time to analyst it, don't just choose a project just because there are some people who suggested it, it is the bad thing to do.

Finally someone understands what I have in my mind towards this 2020, many are saying scammers are vanishing one by one because investors are now smart well the fact is scammers are now smarter, do not understimate scammers, they will come with new tactics to fool people, be ready

You're right! There is no confidence in new projects right now. The fault is the policy that the admins of such projects carry out, they simply collect money and say goodbye to the community. Deception has generated this distrust and now every participant must understand this. I am also considering new projects for participation, but now I am very attentive to the selection and I skip almost 90% of all new projects because they look very bad and do not inspire confidence.

Not all the new projects today are bad but it's that just many of them does have one intention and that is to scam people. It happened in the past and everyone here learned the difficult way and it's been an expensive lesson for us.

Let's all warn others and if you such projects that are obviously not truthful to what they are saying and very likely to be a scam, warn the others who are looking interested to that project.

The first time I know bitcoin, there are some people who closest to me said just invest with what you can afford to lose, because profit that will you get in bitcoin unpredictable.

But now, when I have know bitcoin event its character I just suggesting to you to invest on it. Please leave altcoin first if you are newbie or you can pick ETH as another option, to sugggest another altcoin beside it I really doubt ou will be safe.

These things always happen when market shows some bullish movement and the investor/hunters who have enough experience with these shits know how to handle so only people who are jumping into this market for the first time have to get clear with these projects.

It is true that new projects are showing up and the interesting issue is that they are dying right from the onsets.

On no grounds, should we get involved with projects that 200$ can set them up who requests for 10000 $ during Crowdfunding.

Do your research
Avoid fomo
Confirm team facts

Keep your funsa

Why not appearing? I'm waiting patiently for Coda, Spacemesh, Chia and Solana to launch their products. They just using strategy 'wait and see', building their code, partnerships, funding and absorbing the best features of existing projects alongside evaluating competition in the future.

True what you are saying today many ICO projects are growing back and we are still hesitant to follow the project as it still feels disappointed with the project that doesn't pay us to the fullest, and the project is currently our reason for Stop hunting for a prize Compaye, nevertheless I have tried to follow this new project and we expect it to later be able to pay us fully.

This is part of the reason why some of them want another bull run so that scam project business too can boom. I really think a lot of investors have learned from the past and even if the bull runs come, ICO will not be that juicy as it was before because of many people have now considered investing in the project as a complete waste of time and money but rather want to trade strong coin. 99.9% of all new project token are always listed far below the ico price with no hope of coming back to the ico price.

More and more people are learning about this kind of scheme and instead of patronizing they are keeping away and forget about investing to new coins but to support those existing and still progressing project to protect their investment and to have lower chances of losing their money.
Be specific with your knowledge and invest your money only if you are fully aware with the potentials of any assets that you'll going to buy.

We can study many things about new projects, but we cannot predict the viability of projects in this market. In 2019 I found a lot of good projects and invested by many companies, but by the end of the project died quickly. Obviously, we cannot avoid new projects becoming scams

Indeed lately many new projects have sprung up when the prices of Bitcoin and altcoin started to grow well in the market. there are also new projects that have arisen utilizing the current good situation to raise money that they eventually run away. therefore we really must be careful in making decisions.

2017 was the best year in terms of new projects, I wish those days can return once more, this days developers have turn blockchain technology into money making machine, they always want to eat out of the innocent pocket with new repetitive projects we've seen many times before, if you aren't good at research it's no more a safe haven for you

There are indeed several new projects popping up now. But for now the new project will have a little difficulty in getting funds from investors because many investors have experienced fraud from fake projects. In my opinion, investors are now more careful in funding new projects to avoid fraud.

This is not something new while the majority of new projects are waiting for the FOMO to do fundraisers from the investors. The hype can bring them more possibility to get more money from the investor's pocket.
As far as i know not only the new projects are waiting for this momentum but the existing project is also waiting for this time to happen.
We have IEO platform that can decrease the possibility to be scammed by a new project. Just hope people will be careful with any project.

a very positive prediction of the price of Bitcoin which makes many ICO/IEO projects continue to emerge.  I agree with you, those potential investors must more careful and do research beforehand on the ICO / IEO projects that are just emerging at this moment.

Relax, investors are wiser now, they can take care of things now because they are experienced if the project being presented are worth investing or not, we have seen so many projects falling because the devs are weak, the platform and the roadmap is not attainable and they are not unique only old projects that they added new features.

You are absolutely right, this year is the year many new projects emerge, although optimistic about the new project, a research is the main key that must be done. Learn from past events when joining a project without doing a research.
When the project stops halfway, who wants to be blamed for the time and thought that has been expended

Agree, assessing every possible thing behind the project you'll be investing with is the biggest responsibility everybody should be doing so. It is to at least lessen the probability of dealing with a trash project already. Anyway, investing is already a gamble, right? However you could gamble in a different way though, applying some techniques, ideas and tips so that you'll be able to make your own well-decided path. And one more thing, this ain't the only time bunch of projects have occured, way back then dozens of promising projects pops out, and unfortunately majorty of 'em failed. So, people seem to be a lot wiser now (hope so).

As a hunter, now we must be able to properly research the project so that what we work has results. However it is, to find projects that really pay is very difficult, especially IEO / ICO is difficult to get funds from investors, because investors are now smart in investing in crypto. Maybe it's because they have suffered losses in investing.

we must be careful about choosing projects, it is common today. because the prices of bitcoin and altcoin are starting to recover, I am also afraid that some new investors will rush to increase their assets so that investing in things can end up being a scam. however, until now I think there are still many scam projects. because of this, do not reduce your vigilance to invest, especially in new projects.

Many people understand that the beginning of 2020 is very good for cryptocurrencies and therefore they open their cryptocurrency companies, but of course, people who have long been in the cryptocurrency sphere know that need first fully study the project and then make investments, but newcomers in the cryptocurrency sphere will certainly have a hard time from the very beginning, but we all went through this.

Is there any statistical analysis that shows the numerous new projects that started this year, because other than i find it difficult to believe that there have been so many projects this year, compared or far more than in the past(i've not been seeing them). But whether or not that is case, finding more about the project is the first point of note, the really indispensable part.

Even there's no hype on the price of bitcoin we can still see a new project and every day we can find it in the bounty section. We can't avoid seeing some people who are FOMO especially on the great improvement of bitcoin and better situation of the market. It's always required to do some research before we risk our money and it's our responsibility to do it because we are the ones who will invest and we should not rely on someone. Until today based on what I see it still hard to trust a new project that's why doing deeper research about it will totally help us especially if we intend to know if the project is worth it to invest.

IMO, for the safeness of our money, we should stick with the project that we really know and invest in the project that has a good image in the cryptocurrency field. Be wise about choosing a new project and be aware of the scammer who always wants to take our money.

Nothing new here from what I have seen and experienced in 2017. When bitcoin enters into its bull run, we will be seeing lots of new people are coming in to crypto space just for making money in the name of ICOs or in all of the possible means. The pathetic situation here must be, the scammers are making themselves well-hidden by having how the real devs are looking-like which makes the innocent investors to filter them out very hard.

In my opinion, we do not need any new coin without any innovative feature or without solving a problem which was not addressed yet by bitcoin or any other leading reputed coin. When we start ignoring all the copycat, then probably we can have very healthy environment in this altcoin space. Only when we are looking for easy money out of non-perfect projects, the scammers are getting easier to steal our money.

Yes, I agree with your opinion. The number of new projects that exist makes competition more difficult in crypto. Many have failed that I have noticed when I joined a new project. I am more interested in joining projects that are already on the market and already have products that people use.

Thanks for the reminder, but I think people are getting smarter now. Investors and bounty hunters are really looking at every projects that pop up in the wild making sure that they are not scammy as we don't want to be in the 2017 wherein there's a lot of projects that exit scam with millions of dollars.

But still, this is a good warning from the OP, again, used your common sense before investing your hard earn money on new projects.

This is how the market is being played, we have seen thousands of projects in the past, that looks good in paper but in the end, either the project failed or it exit scam. I'm not into bounties but it seems that they are again increasing exponentially. So for everyone, just check everything, do your own research (DYOR) so as not to be the next victim here.

The OP is right, when Bitcoin hype is growing and so as criminals around taking advantage of gullible person who just wanted to join the bandwagon, specially those newbies. You can also go to Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board to see if the project has been flagged by our investigators.

Yes new project are coming in the space because of this recent rally in the market, this past few days, market has been very impressive, both alts and btc witness a rise in price, also don't forget btc halving is close and it is expected that it could result in price increase,
so i guess some of this new project already thought about this possibilities and decide to enter the market at this time.

Patiently doing some research doesn't automatically mean you'll be safe from the scams as this days the scamming project at getting good at disguising themselves as legitimate project. They even spend lots of cash promoting themselves either via paid advert or signature (bounty) campaigns.

Total avoidance will be the best option right out. Most of the altcoin (if not all) at just distractions and will end badly since bitcoin bull run is around the corner. Many altcoins will lose value in satoshi meaning if you would had just hold unto your bitcoin, you'll have gained more than investing in the worthless altcoins pumping up.

Indeed one everyone needs to be careful, when the market was struggling most projects were on the low but now the market is showing signs of recovery they are all popping up with one unrealistic ideas or the other, although there are few which have genuine ideas. Most people which held various altcoins that are now in profit should endeavour to make adequate and proper research about any project whatsoever irrespective of any news or hype surrounding the project; we are responsible for our own investments thus appropriate care needs to be taken and if in doubt it won't hurt to stick to top altcoins.

Investors are now wiser at least majority of them are much aware of the crypto trend. So it's now very difficult to get who to scam. Only real projects are surviving at this time .

This always happens. If the market starts to move up, the scammers are activated along with it, offering new promising profitable projects that are not destined to be realized.
However, now it is impossible to say that the market is in an uptrend, rather, it fell into place. Therefore, we will see a truly full-scale offensive by scammers in a few months.

New nonsense projects have been coming all the time since first altcoins started and they have been decreasing a lot on the last bear run, i can't see any increase in them. Even many of the sites that follow new shitcoins have been shutting down. Nr of shitcoin projects will increase a lot in the future, i just can't see it yet in my feeds.

With the scammed projects we have been experiencing on the previous years, we should be very careful now in choosing potential projects to invest. The market is now recovering and this will be the perfect time for scammers to show up again. So never stop on searching for details and keep making research if we want to invest in projects that will not waste our time in the long run.

I have seen several new projects getting listed at Binance right now, some get free listing and some are direct listing. I trust Binance verification on these projects I guess they will not allow scam project to ruin their name. Looks like these projects already ride the train and waiting to go forward.
Also, these new projects popping out it is not new since I registered here last 2017 these new coins/token there is no stopping them they keep popping out every week or month. Just DYOR about these new projects.

New projects is just a normal thing. Whether with the btc hype or not. It's up to us how can we react to this kind of projects. We should always DYOR to spot if the new project is legit or not. Since we are aware that new projects can be fail or success, it is our duty to go through about their platforms, teams, etc before joining any of them. From that, we can totally spot some fraud and legit new projects before trusting and joining.

I am still of the opinion that the current state of the market is not conductive for new projects. Investors are vary about them, due to the proliferance of scam projects. Even now there is no change to this situation and many of the new projects are turning out to be scams. Until the situation gets better, I am staying away from these new projects and the ICO market.

This is only normal especially if the market is starting to become lively again, without new projects the bounty hunters will have no space to earn free money from their effort and time.

Let's all welcome the incoming bull while being extra careful especially in investing as the scammers are always waiting for the right chance also to make their move. But as what I have notice last bull run, the percentage of successful projects are not that bad as it ranges up to 35% compare to bear season that it only ranges up to 10% success rate.

This is really worrisome I must confess as most of them will end up shitcoins and the unsuspecting public will wrongly invest in them. We saw this in 2017/2018 that eventually caused the crash of the market in late 2018 and made a mess of the whole thing in 2019. I wish the crypto industry could be censored to at least provide succour and security for the newbies and the not-too-tech savvy investors.

it's just that we don't know exactly when time will improve again. I think if they really want to make a project that is really high quality, whenever they appear, I think there will be very much support for them. it's just that, until now, there aren't many new projects like that. So far, the best market for IEO is probit, and it's a pretty good market to calculate a project.

That is clearly the case, new projects are vulnerable to scam and failure, but I always see some new projects from the other side as they continue to be present with something new. And some new projects look successful and help cryptocurrency users.

Actually it isn't something new they have been around for so long if I am not mistaken this have started in 2017 or 2016.
But you are right it is pitiful for those who couldn't do their own research and end's up losing their investment because it was a scam project.

Only few projects will be worth it so keep your eyes open and do better research, presently there are some projects that are plain scam and people aren't aware of them, some are even promoting them

not just on those years you mention but new and scam projects already existed before the internet begun but thier hype only got stronger and bigger ever since cryptocurrency became live especially when cryptocurrency are on a hype trend  .   the feeling is bad if you will be loosing your hard money on these scam projects just because you'v been tricked .  im sure that we all are experienced that bad moment but now im done with them     , now i only invest on the legit ones  and not on those new tokens  .

They are coming out from their hiding place to take their own share of what crypto offers from the gullible users, we all should be careful of these projects coming up now as close to 90% and even more don't have the best interest of users, they are only after their own satisfaction.
Furthermore, even if we would like to invest, starting from good research is the best way to begin followed by investing wisely not your entire balance as most of these upcoming projects are not to be trusted; and just like earlier stated, not putting all trust on new projects is also good.

there is nothing strange in the fact that new projects and investors want to make money. you just need to be careful and choose the projects you invest in very carefully. you also need to understand very well when you need to exit the project

Well its always have a new project coming but we need to be careful if we want to participate. Must better to checked it first even if the CM is trusted because there are time the bounty they hold are be going scam sometimes. And we earn nothing if we continue to participate a a scam bounty campaign.

Yes, and for those who are still promoting hoax projects, it could be because they did not make a little research on the projects that they participated in, because I also see that there are still some projects that are worth promoting, and there are some that are not worth promoting.

Unfortunately last year, most of the new projects have either turned into scams or failed. And only a few projects have been successful. For this reason, we must be very careful before investing in a new project, and we must do extensive research on this project.

New projects are also needed in crypto especially the current trend is good in the crypto world.
but careful in choosing is something you should pay attention to.
do not hate the new project too much because it could be a new project to get a decent place in the crypto market.

It needs to be careful when choosing a new project because indeed when the price of Bitcoin starts to move up, scams start to appear. It's hard to choose a good new project but if we do research, I think we will avoid fraud

Well i think the crypto space already had it's correction and we are seeing less of scam projects this 2019. I can confidently say new projects are emerging with lots of prospect like :

1. Alchemy recently partnered with binance to provide payment solutions to binance products.
Link here : https://twitter.com/AlchemyGPS/status/1229764852379353088?s=19

2. Stib also is a quality project that conducted IEO and got listed on probit last week, the project emerges to provide a decentralized financial management tool with it's app that you can use to perform exchange of assets on the go,  securely save assets, invest as well as carry loan all in a decentralized ecosystem.

3. Sheng global : a emerging project with the aim of making the life of everyone more prosperous with it's Usecases focussed on health, lifestyle and wellness. Sheng officially partnered with pundx for rapid deployment of crypto payments in Thailand yesterday against their IEO tokensales sale started today on Probit exchange.

Hey! What I would say - the most rational strategy is investing into solutions that have real applicable solution. For example, they adopt blockchain for some issues, existing on one or another market

Afternoon. I absolutely share your view here. Much basically depends on the solution. Talking about me, number 1 component is practical value and real benefits I get

Works similarly for me. And as for now, are you following (or just having in mind) many such platforms? Cause I would say that I am aware of only 1 or 2 most advanced and attractive blockchain based solutions

Hmm, aso around 2 to follow. And what are your favorites? Can you outline? Better with more info on how solution really helps, not interested in some abstract projects

It is good that there is a lot of new projects who are getting started right now, this is a good news as well as a bad news. The good news is there are so many new projects that the people will be able to participate but the bad news is if that it is a hard time to know if the project is a legit or not. Frankly it is very hard for us to trust new projects because i'm the past years and past months there are a lot of new projects out that have been scam and not legit so let us be careful again for those new projects.

Talking about me, I attend lots of music festivals, which is why I was excited when I discovered GET Protocol. It seems like a really cool solution with a lot of adoption and promising future. I wanted to share some info about them and ask for your opinion. GET Protocol offers a blockchain-based smart ticketing solution that can be used by anybody who wants to sell tickets in an honest and transparent way. The GET token is used and burned whenever a ticket is sold using the protocol. So far, it looks like already 300.000 tickets have been sold. Most recently the team announced that they are moving into the Korean market. On top of that, GET Protocol will be the first BApp in the ticketing vertical to partner with Klaytn, the blockchain subsidiary of Kakao (look that name up if you don't know it..). And I definitely recommend you to have a closer look at guys website, cause there is much more to add

This from your words this all sounds unique and attractive. Will definitely have a closer look at the website and read more. And will share my thoughts afterwards, thanks for the recommendation

There are projects that were suddenly revived which there are now discussions in their telegram channel which were very silent in the past years.  If they are not coming back to scam once more, they may be able to pull it up right now by somehow listing the tokens they created the last time they are around.

With this I think the market is not safe for new projects to rise. I joined Sheng project since they partnered with reputable projects too.

This has been the norm, we saw this happened in 2017 with many scam projects ranging from lending coins and biweekly profit platforms. Funny people never learn their lessons, they will always still fall for this, lack of emotional intelligence.

Well, I'm quite happy that there are some old projects that came back and made bounties. I think it's more reliable, however, I also choose another project for now, and I'm quite interested in the reckoon, the signature that I'm using right now. I prefer to see its development first, besides that, this project is quite optimistic about doing IEO in 2 different markets.

yes, but if you can take advantage of the moment it is not wrong to do, after all, almost everyone is looking for profits in the midst of market conditions that were rising some time ago.and now the time is down, more than 3 days the market is red.
so yes now is the opposite of selling that is buying or making some corrections, it could go down even further.

Basically, greediness must be the major causes towards issues of these nature, many think the jungle is still feel with free stash of coins that they can just get to their self. The days are already here again, maybe they have learned from the past and will not fall into these obvious scams. Some of my friend investors on cryptocurrency platform, lost to many of these platforms and almost scam them with $1000. I have learned from the past and will be more careful this time.

This is not new actually, its normal to see new projects coming and attract more users and investors. Indeed with the price of btc to take advantage to earn a profit. Even new projects showing up, of course, we must assess first if it is good to join or invest.

Me too, I will not fall for such kind of tricky acts again. I once lost money and time joining HYIPs and investing to an overhyped token before (but for me a sh*tcoin now). Every time I reminisce my beginner days I can't help but to laugh how naive I am that time — how hopeful I am to get greater rewards with no or at least very small investment ;D.

But you know what, I believe that some people are good at this. They intentionally bait themselves despite of knowing it was a scam, they can outsmart the scammers. Why I say so? Because I saw that some of them really got profits, they invest early then they exit early as well ;D.

Until now I was still hesitant to invest in new projects because in 2018 I lost a lot of money and had too much faith in promising new projects at that time, and now some of them died or even scam. I'm still waiting for the right time to start investing again in a new project because for now though most will launch IEO but I don't want to greedy.

crypto hype. looming for those who are trapped in an investment that ends up scam is a pretty sad thing. I'm sure old users have understood and they can learn from their past experiences about scam projects ranging from ICO, cloud minning and pyramid systems. in some social media I also found new projects that I thought were suspicious.

New projects are always been there so there is nothing new on it in fact back in 2017 those new project back then are really worth it to invest and to join their bounty.
But because of the scammers infiltrating the market the ICO slowly comes to it's end slowly every time a new project would be created there would be less participants or investors in their project because of the fear of being scammed again.
This is also the reason why there are less alt-coin bounties nowadays back then every week or month there would be a new ones.
And back then almost all of the new projects are being listed on a good exchange the only problem back then was the price when it got listed most of the time it would go up drastically then after a few weeks or months it would have it's price correction.
But now most of the new listed alt-coins are getting dump when they are being listed in exchange.

Definitely yes,this is why many projects now are popping because of the Market making hype  and yes there are some who is taking advantage to make quick money by encouraging investors and making them believe in their lies.

but also there are some projects that take this advantage to release their old plans because in this kind of market the appeal is higher and the possibilities of gaining investors are indeed but it doesn't necessary means they are also scammers,better make a research and evaluate harder each projects to find the legit and separate the scams though these days of ours?it is really confusing to learn the good and the bad because they are both almost the same in presenting their proposals.

If its a new project hold by Binance IEO I will be happy to fomo since most of the projects there are giving out ROI when trading is launch. No offense but Im just practical when it comes to profits. Its up to everyone to invest on altcoins but if thats an ICO based project or IEO on exchange such as latoken goodluck with your asset. The only trusted one are Binance, Kucoin, Okex, gate and houbi aside from these new projects that will be introduced arent worth it.

Always careful with project you choose, find the truth information and always have plan before decide to join. Market movement came from bitcoin and this is good sign and time to wake up, market in green zone can be used to built brand and crypto business. We are not pessimist with crypto but I'm sure choose project that have track record is saver than new one.

At this time we have to be extra careful in choosing projects in which we will participate or invest. Because most new projects are now very far from the word promising and even tend to lead to failure and can even end up fraud. I myself am also not very good at analyzing a project, but I always try to research it first even though it requires a considerable amount of time.

because mostly new project they don't have working product in real world and mostly ICO And IEO failed in 2018 ,2019 people didn't trust new project. ultimately lead to failure of new crypto project.and i belive bearish market also the second cause of failure of new projects.

I have been seeing some projects quite alright, it’s not all of them that are scammers, there are legit ones and you just have to take your time and find a good project for yourself, although they are not easy to find. Even before now there have been a lot of projects in the market that are very bad, so you just have to use that same technique you have been using to determine what’s right for you and know the right projects and the ones that are fake.

As for me, right now I am not really looking into new projects because I have been quite busy with my job and there is no time to be researching all that. So my focus has just been on already established coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

New projects, including those in ICO or IEO format, will always appear. In any case, as long as there is demand for them. I would not say that there are many such projects at this forum now. It is still a very difficult time for bounty hunters. Many bounty campaigns ICO does not contain a signature campaign, and if there are any, then not many new tokens are allocated to the subscription campaign in percentage terms, as it was before. And the cost of these tokens is very low, in addition, there are a lot of difficulties in their exchange. However, all the same, ICO projects are still alive and there are projects that should be promising in the future.

New projects are bound to emerge with the innovations they have and their individual goals, but what is difficult in building projects is in product marketing and sales that can trust investors. The most difficult, even though their sales, ICO and IEO must still be able to attract investors in the sale.
For bounty hunters, they also really need to be promoted because they also work hard to continue to enlarge the projects they participate in bounties, but sometimes in bounties they get inappropriate rewards and even invaluable tokens.

There  are two projects that I'm looking out now, no they are not crowdfunding, they are mining projects which to me looks very promising anyway I'm looking at, one of them is Idena and another one is The RING, these two projects are worth looking and they are building momentum, and the community are growing both of them.

Of course. Given the digital environment we live in today, it is obvious that new projects can and will appear. After all, there are people who are ready to finance such projects, which means everyone has a chance to realize their most crazy idea. And that's great. In our case, it is very important not to make a mistake with the project, and not to fall into the clutches of scammers.

I would like to go back to a time when almost every project was successful and brought in a lot of money. Now this is a rarity. You have to spend a lot of time on research. But this, too, may not be a 100% guarantee.

There are actually less startups with offerings like IEOs/ICOs/STOs now than there was a year ago and some of these are higher quality if you do some thorough research as your suggest so it's just a matter of picking out the best ones if you're wanting to invest

This is habit not FOMO and we only need to analyze in which project should replace trust?. No one will deny crypto is in profitable mode and we must take part by support new project, that's our challenge as bounty hunter. As long the project have clearly program and solid developer team, join is worth. Make time to analyze first and never join project that never up date information and built good communication with member.

Research first and join several project is our safety, must become priority don't ignore it. Until now there is no specific guide to choose " legit " project but I'm sure we already have experience as the best teacher. This time, trend is in up mode, new project coming with out permission with ( sometimes ) unrealistic target. Be careful, always use your brain ( logic ) not dream ( imagination ) to calculate target and reduce risk. Do your best and never take project that we should send money to get bounty reward or give our private keys as loyalty sign.

Im not against new projects sprouting nowadays because it can either legit or scam but we cant determine it if we didnt conduct a research. Indeed many projects are existing especially due to btc hype but still it depends on the investors on how they will deal with this. If you did your part as an investor or as a bounty hunter to become cautious when investing or participating in a project then you cant become a victim of those scammers.

Currently, there are many projects that offer several advantages that are not shared by other projects. But if what is offered is not logical, then leave the project. It's hard to find good projects now, new projects only end up scamming or have no value in the market.

People need to be careful, especially the newbies they can be an easy target for new scammers/ new ICOS. My suggestion does not join any new airdrop or ICO unless you have proof that it is a good one and you can trust!

for now if you want to join I think it's better to join the old project. or maybe you can invest in the top coins, so it's safe from fraud. many people are stuck on fraud projects, especially beginners. except for those who are already proficient in analyzing

Not all the new projects are good, but some of them are absolute good. I perfer looking into new coins that have use-case and future growth potential. Some of the low-caps are only on exchanges they don't have any use-case and i consider these types of coins as scam projects.

Those kind of scenarios you have mentioned had been out there since the start of what so called ICO Token sale, they did left at all, even at times when BTC are in slumping state they are still trying to fetch money from any possible investors in their shitty projects. Only those who are new in the business will only fall in that kind of scheme but for old investors and who have in the business for a long time they don't care at all.

ICO scams have been rife since early 2018 when the price of Bitcoin touched $ 20k. It is necessary to be vigilant in choosing ICO so that we are not deceived, but in market conditions that have not yet recovered, I think it's better to invest in coins that are already on the market and traded in large exchangers.

Scammers and fake projects will always appear no matter what the market situation is. The good thing is we're more aware of their strategy already. However, there are still potential projects which are arising and they also deserve a place in the crypto world. We only have to be skeptical about choosing the right and legit project.

Thanks for the warning.

But I think nowadays, investors learned their lesson when they have scammed before, they will not do it again. Losing money now is quite a great impact on their finances. I guess what they are doing right now is doing their own research very well, that is why not all popping projects are well funded.

You are absolutely right, many new bounties are coming and they seem totally shit. I don't know why post get deleted when I pointed out a shit bounty project. However, this is not the right time to jump on new coins or new IEO on random exchanges. Better stick on old reputed coins and buy only high-rank exchange IEO like Binance, Bittrex, Kucopin and so on.

People should be careful because a lot of scammers are only waiting to exploit the sudden market rise. They see it as opportunity to shill their shitcoins. Be careful what project you invest in. If in doubt follow your heart.

It's always funny to watch all these new type of scam schemes. This market is constantly developing and I always like to investigate each scam case to know what to expect next.

I might not think about it but still, I don't trust this projects anymore even ICO's, in my opinion, doesn't give a great profit overtime when you put your investment in their token I think for a user who already knows everything about this they will not likely for fall in this kind of methods, mosts likely newbies and new traders or investors will be their victims.

We already learned our lessons and it is not going to happen again!

There is nothing wrong when new crypto currency start up.
We want more development of the space, and more utilization of the blockchain on our lifestyle.

What we have to watch out for are unworthy projects, and ensure that we avoid and eliminate all suspicious project from our portfolios,
DYOR always and avoid FUD, OR FOMO

Whether as investors or bounty hunters, we have to really analyze the projects that we will be participating in. Our money and our hard work must get proper appreciation, so don't risk it with indiscriminate joining. There are many things that are unthinkable, if you are afraid of risk then you cannot develop, so take the middle way, don't all in, for example, divide the funds into several potential projects, and it will be safer if you join IEO in a trusted global exchange.

I see bounty campaigns are still very rare unlike before, now bounty hunters are smart in choosing projects that they will promote projects. Look at the bounty board, I think there are still legit bounties that pay.

New crypto and bounty projects are going to have a hard time to convince new clients and new supporters, after the boom in 2017 of so many cryptocurrency startups, now the investors and even the bounty supporters are pickier.

Only those with outstanding features will survive and keep thriving.

The scam projects that will always appear just like bubbles. This reminds me with what already happened on 2017 while the bullish trend has come and so many scam projects were rushing to go to the market to raise money. It's better to follow your analyzation because that thing will prevent us to fall into the scam project.

There are too many projects out there and this is the reason why the new ones are struggling to gain any attention. The number of investors is limited and has remained stable for the past couple of years. Many of the existing projects are struggling to attract investment, because for each domain we have hundreds of projects and therefore the investment is getting fragmented.

Good afternoon. Such a strategy for sure makes sense, but you know, what I would also say - it is not easy to find multiple solutions that meet requirements. What I mean is evaluating the factors. From my point of view, platform must be advanced, innovative, reliable and, of course, bring real and practical value

This is absolutely so and I fully agree with you that it is not easy to find several tokens that widen the horizons and set new standards on the industry. Talking about you, are there many solutions you can recommend in general?

Nope, I wouldn't say so. I am only having 2 or 3 most attractive ones I am following. And latest discovery I would definitely recommend everyone to have a look at - ThreeFold Network. Have you already heard of such a solution? Cause you know, in here guys are setting entirely new standards on the industry

ThreeFold? No, it seems that I haven't heard of such a platform before, can you please provide more details on what the solution stays for?

Yes, sure. ThreeFold network is the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world, being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone. Their mission is to expand the current Internet to all areas of the world and to allow everyone to use this Internet at a fraction of its current price. In my opinion, the prospects are rather bright. And of course, I recommend you to check out their website to get a deeper understanding on the solutions itself

That sounds pretty attractive and advanced, agree with you here! Will check out more on the guys shortly and get back with own thoughts. Thank you very much for your recommendation

If you are interested in the industry itself, I also recommend you to have a look at white paper, cause there are many unique features ThreeFold is coming with. Without flattering I can say that I haven't found any competitors with similar features

This is impressing. Let me have a look on my own and get back. Thanks once again

Once there is a good sign of growth or rather huge pump in the market new projects will start coming out so as to participate in what lies in the blockchain world. However on this new projects, only a very little number are out for change, out to contribute and out to offer something good while a huge number are out to manipulate and feed their pockets with investors money. Therefore one needs to be extremely careful with these new projects, take time to study them, ask questions, check out the team so as to be sure you are doing the right thing.

I find no campaigns that pays BTC accepting though so I'm joining the campaigns that pays tokens, there are several projects that are Listedin in exchanges which were for IEO like this blockburn which I did join. I'm unsure about what I'm doing but to kill time, its still the one that I can keep some of the tokens if the team turn out to be legit.

Its going to be end up a waste of time if they are though risky but going into the forum everyday due to this keep me updated to what is happening in the community. If something shows up, I might as well join to some also. New projects today with new concept on them is rare like gambling and games in new platforms like EOS and TRX are also becoming common.

Only Bitcoin can push altcoins price either fresh coin or old coin. This effect isn't applied instant or all coin at a time. Bitcoin halving isn't any scam announcement. New projects doesn't want to show anytime in coinmarketcap when their project plan is average. Extreme level good projects are also showing in good CMC.

Any market growth is accompanied by a new stream of fraudulent projects and schemes. This is a side effect. You can adapt to this. You just need to pump your care and accuracy. And then the scammers will not get to you.

Am expecting new coin and dying of some old coins, over 6000 coin market looks massive and we need to sanitize the space especcially for scam project. The process of getting into the market looks challenging to new projects; how to raise fund is challenging. The space demands a product for most of the upcoming projects. This gives investors confidence on the team and product, with lower hardcap compare to the ICO days. Everyone is looking for the right time to raise fund

Bounty campaigns with BTC rewards are very rare, usually projects with very high potential to use this method, participants are limited and the rules are quite difficult. Don't give up, there are still many other strategies that we can use to minimize the risk of being trapped in a scam project, for example by choosing projects that are product ready, already listed on the market, IEO on potential exchanges, etc.

Keep trying as much as possible, choose a project that suits your ability. Prioritizing quality over quantity.

I think if you a investor or bounty hunter doing a research is very important these days. ICO/IEO scam train will appear soon you should carefull about your decision. But dont worry there is a few projects that will pay you.

When Bitcoin made a parabolic move last 2017, lots of new projects are created here and many bounty campaigns are emerged.

Now it is happening again since many are expecting for Bitcoin to rise again. Time for the scammers to their normal job which is to scam those newbie investors. For me, if you did research and ask the experts you will not fall into these kind of scams.

Best thing to do right now is instead of investing into these new ICO's, it would be better if you will just invest into other coins out there that are already established. Anyway, if you really want to invest on a new project then Good Luck and face the risks :).

Your words are right. With that, everyone is gaining confidence in investing. For a long time no one is getting success from the bounty. There is no investment and no confidence. Hopefully this will bring benefits for the market.

Building a trust in investment is not easy, even though now there are many new projects appearing, but we cannot directly trust them and invest in them, because investing is a high-risk job, so we must do research first in order to trust them.

As a bounty hunter, i am careful of choosing projects to connect with. I only choose some projects that are handled by the trusted managers here in this forum. Everyday has a new project and seems to be realistic and promising, however we cannot determine if its really a promising in the long run. So we should only join a good project that is hadled by a trusted manager.

That's the easiest way to find and join a project to promote, usually bounty managers becomes responsible because they are good in choosing a bounty to promote, with that kind of thinking, we are helping the investors and this community to be spam free in the future.

Yes, that's right, we really shouldn't trust each project right away, because investing in new projects is also very risky, so I would rather agree to do research first before making trust in projects that appear today.

yes ... new projects are now emerging because of the certainty of the cryptocurrency market, unlike 2 years before a lot of press from all sectors
and now the crypto market is improving, many good projects are emerging, but they are facing it now. that is: crisis of confidence :'(

Rise and fall is a normal thing on the cryptocurrency world. so what is the big difference between those projects? nothing...they still bring old style, and still, i can't find a new style which made me interest so much. Lately, i follow some project, but still it fail me so much. They never have seen to deliver those promises to their first investors, especially for late investors which only follow because of FOMO mode.
And now, what made me curious is BTC going wild, and many projects come up but nothing new ( in my opinion ), like my friend suspect, is behind those project maybe stand a group of old scammer which wake up again after so many months keeps low and now their chance to strike their chances again. Maybe he's right but at least i want to see it for myself which joins their campaign and follow closely their action.
How to prove it between right or scam in my mind is just to jump in, and use our own method to filter those projects based on our own experience.

but nowadays, it's very rare for a bounty manager who is very trusted to issue their bounties. however, they are still waiting for the bounty which is really worth, I know it is because they read their telegram in the group they created.
At present, there are not so many big potential projects, but we all still hope that the projects we support today are the best bounty projects available today.

This is a little bit harsh I guess. I know that there is a lot of bounties that don't pay that good or turns out to be a scam in the end of their ICO since 2018 but that doesn't mean that we should conclude that there is no more money in bounty hunting. The only choice that we could do to earn money is too keep on trying, giving up is not an option because you already started your journey as a bounty hunter.

The best thing to do always is to do the background check, that is the first and foremost, before joining any bounty, it is a must that you have to do, or else you will really going to lose the will of being a bounty hunter.

Much basically depends on every particular solution. Talking about me, my choice is ThreeFold Network. In few words, Threefold network is the biggest decentralized grid of self-managing Internet capacity in the world that is being built collectively by an inclusive ecosystem and owned by everyone. The mission is to expand the current Internet to all areas of the world and to allow everyone to use this Internet at a fraction of its current price

I think market has improved now and things have got better now and although there were a lot of good things and a lot of money was made in big crypto season that we can say we saw in 2016 and 2017 but now after a long downtrend things have started to improve but yes i totally agree with you that we should not invest our precious btc or eth in new projects unless we have performed complete due diligence and are satisfied and confident about the project and that too from all angles.

I also think so, entering 2020 many new projects have emerged. Possibly because of the price of bitcoin and altcoins suddenly rise from
the beginning of 2020.We can see every week in the section bounties there are always new projects.Indeed in part doubtful and the possibility
of scams is quite large. But I'm sure there are one or two projects that can be relied on, even if paid very small. But as an additional income
I think it's pretty good to do.But for investment in new projects not yet done, because the risk is quite large. And also avoid projects related to
cloud mining, because it is almost certain scams. Because for now cryptocurrency mining is no longer profitable.

This is now time to venture and divert with another ways of investments aside from mining. I can recommend on trading at different crypto coins which is profitable as holdings. Long can be efficient and helpful instead of shorter plans, because if you try to analyze most of the shorter terms won't gather good results particular on new projects that hasn't stablish successful results.

This will likely known if the token or coin have already surpass some stage where they are already on a market. Cause most scam projects are just stopping on the part after they have collected funds. I suggest if you will invest on newfound projects then that one should be listed on an IEO for a crowdfunding source to be much sure that at least they can have liquidity later on. Some campaigns are also coming out and listed on IEO but the exchanges they got into arent that much popular like Binance so the tendency for that project to go down is likely to happen too.

Another one is scammers have evade the bounty section on this forum already, if you are smart enough you will notice some scam, time wasting bounties in bounty section like a ripple fork, new exchange project with fake volume etc, watch out

The problem is it's not easy to determine them. We have a lot of trusted and bad projects mixed into the one things. Ripple fork is actually a scam coin even before it was created. I just feel curious about how this is possible for some people to join in a campaign. That doesn't make sense for me.

Many bounty hunters here are blind because of the lack of experience, I don't blame them because I did something like that in the past thinking that all new bounty programs were real. Now I don't support any bounty program except the ones with good referral programs like the current one I am supporting now.

Yeah paying with bitcoin is very rare but the deal is the only ones that pays with bitcoin are the ones that would make money as well for the investors. If a place just gives free money to everyone in coin form that means they are not really trusting what they are doing and they are basically just giving away their own money for free and that will result with low value of that coin since there is a lot of coin floating around that was earned and not bought.

In comparison the coins that gives out bitcoin do keep as much of their own coin as possible and do not sell it or give it away so that keeps the money higher and they are capable of hiring the best type of marketers since they pay in bitcoin as well.

There are not many projects at all. Very few projects showed up and very few of them has enough potential to succeed in the future. Yes many of them are scam projects I can not deny that but there is some decent project too. Most of the bounty hunter just blindly promoting those scam project. I wonder if they don't know anything about those projects at all.

Right. I think now the bounty hunters have learned from the bitter experiences experienced in the past, even now there are many new projects that have not sprung up and they are promoting the project but analyzing the team, the white paper, and the concepts developed by the project. thus minimizing the disadvantages of promoting the project.

Different strategies make sense here, I would say. From my point of view, not just waiting matters, but more exploring. For example, talking about me, I am not just focusing on one or another new solution, but trying to choosing the industry and start exploring. So basically, with such an approach I can get deeper into the market. And these days there is a strong product on almost any market

This sounds pretty rational. But talking about you, are there many unique, interesting and advanced solutions you are following now? Any attractive ones you can recommend? Of course, interested in most worthwhile ones

The most advanced one I am aware of is Carnomaly, have you heard of it? In few words, Carnomaly will become the first company ever to offer a worldwide rebate for an automotive purchase. Both new and used vehicles will apply, as long as they are purchased from a verified legal dealer anywhere in the world. Upon completion of our consumer platform, Carnomaly will begin buying back tokens to replenish the rebates for years to come. But of course, I recommend you to have a closer look at their website to have a better understanding

From your words sounds very attractive and interesting, thank you for the recommendation. Will have a closer look and get back with my thoughts

From the start we are always meant to be very careful on which products we are going to choose. Lots of projects are popping up this time around but that doesn’t mean they are all bad just because now seems like the wrong time or whatever . If you want to invest in a project you should go ahead and invest, just that you have to make sure that you’re investing in the right project, so look into it properly.

Yes man, there these re even some good projects that just rushed in now because they believe that now is the right time for them to release their project and get it working. So, it is not all of them are that are scammers. That’s why you should explore as much as possible and go for whatever project you this is good.

I agree. If you want to try getting into the new existing projects out there, better take precautionary measures just like first doing a background check by doing research about that certain new project you wish to engage with. If you are going for investment, better do the researching to avoid being scammed. But if you were just like joining into bounties, then I think trying it out will not be bad because you can do take your observations while you were joining the campaign because mostly of the bounty campaigns I am seeing here in the forum mostly are being payable on a weekly basis. If you want to try out the capacity of those new existing projects, then do try doing even a single week of work. Always remember to take it slowly and be patient on anything you will do for you to be able not to regret anything once it was already done. Do researching, trust your instincts and let your experience teach you the way.
