Thanks very much for all your inputs.
Great professional forum, to participate, to contribute and get good answers , help other members along the way, and learn a lot in the process.

To clarify, we are not looking for a bounty.
In fact, we have a bounty program which we want to share with all members who are also passionate sports fans. This is where we reward sports fans for their contribution, writing sports blogs, sharing pictures and videos on our sports media platform.

But more details on that later.

For now, it's great to be part of this professional forum, and learn from community member and share the knowledge. Thanks all and cheers

Predicting the market value is not an accurate value at all but monitoring the market is in benefit while predicting the market is useless. The market is going towards bull market as said by its forward going value. These days the market value is in between 7.9k dollar to 8.2k dollar is a good achievement against those who were considering the market is going towards destruction were all false and useless predictions.

I have been using Bountyhive since it had only a few hundred users. Back then it was easy to join a campaign and the rewards were high. Then a lot of "fresh blood" came in and things got a little messy. They didn`t implement restrictions to how many users can join and so the rewards got low. Now they have changed it and there is a limit to every new campaign so probably the rewards will be higher (to the lucky ones that managed to join  ). They have explained everything on their website all you need to do is read a little bit more.

It is unfair to categorize them as scammers. They have always been very helpful, cooperative and honest. I have had a few talks with their admin Silviu on telegram and he has always been more than kind and very nice.

I honestly stopped doing any other bounties except the ones on Bontyhive. I always had problems with my stakes on the spreadsheets on all of my campaigns, many admins would answer days after a wrote them, etc... I don`t understand why some of you complain about transparency, spreadsheets, stakes, etc... the guys at Bountyhive have clearly explained how their system works... if you don`t like it... don`t use it!

I personally like it and use it daily, I do 15 bounty campaigns in 10 minutes and continue with my daily work. Should they get a few extra coins for providing me with such benefits, YES!
So stop bitching about your milk being too hot (or cold) when someone else has brought it to your bed just as you are waking up and on top of it that person put in a straw for your pleasure  

Even after multiple emails, I have sent to them, I still haven't seen a single one of my 1.7mil DIDs. The only thing to do is to still keep waiting

They really don't give my stakes for Week 6-11.
SO disappointing! 

Please submit three instances of you meriting another poster under the above conditions.

Possibly I've been wrong, but most merits are distributed among coteries and groups. The posts that tend to belittle others and point fingers are the ones that have been receiving merits as well. Posts like ICO ANN and Bounties ANN by Bounty managers are receiving merits( WHY ).

I've rarely tried to please people and have also tried to increase the quality of my posts in the past months, but I've rarely received merits from unknown sources, just people that know or those I have merited (dunno if it was a gesture or anything but I never asked them for it).  

A lot of people have been harping on the Sig campaigns thing. Here are a couple of things:

Q1. Why do companies have Sign Campaigns?

A. To
    (a.) To grab eyeballs so that people know about them and invest or use those services.
    (b.) To pay posters who make good posts on BCT.

I think it's the (a.). (Correct me if I'm wrong or have a wrong notion anywhere in this post.)

Q2. Do people make decisions to invest in ICO or use a service based on the Sign Holders?
A. I've seen people wear the Signature of a Mixer, I have looked into the service and it looks AWESOME. I wouldn't care if a racist half-wit is wearing that signature and spamming endlessly (actually someone racist is wearing it), I have and will use the service.

I've also seen many good posters wear the sign of a Mining company and I have looked into it again, will I invest, HELL NO!

Q3. What's the use of merits and such regulations then?
A. I hate to say it, but the winners are ICO Bounties that need to pay less (Sorry Satoshi, but Centralized Institutions are winning), because people won't rank up. I think the only useful system is the TRUST, that too when u are trading and not proselytizing your political opinions. As for rest, all Ranks and Merits should be abolished and each Bounty Manager shud be made to count posts and assess the quality and pay for them. ICOs are happy to have 100 Jr. Members Shit-Post and say Good Project while grabbing attention to their projects, because that also is a form of marketing. Why do the PAUL BROTHERS and their gangs have Millions of views when all they make is SHIT, because even cringe is appealing and makes for good marketing.

Q4. What's my proposed solution?
A. Read the BOLD part up.
EDIT : Initiatives such as SMAS list by Lauda is a good reference point and I applaud them, although I'm on the list (Rightly so!) and believe that it has little utility in terms of marketing. (Again grabbing eye-balls is more important !)


My 2cents : All of us can agree that Sign campaigns pay well, but do they pay to make good posts or to grab eyeballs. If it was to make good posts, add that in Article Bounties. I hope someone points out valid loopholes and assumptions that I made.

Thanks.


P.S. Can some marketing veteran point it out that my logic has fallacies, but remember that most investors in ICOs are extremely clueless and not a reformed crowd that they would care for quality of adverts or advertisers. We also have instances in the past to prove it. MIOTA raised a small seed on forum and was being called a SCAM all the time. The marketing was shit, but most of us can agree that the project is doing good today.
