Just wanted to add that you be careful with MEW until there is an official statement that the coast is clear,
as I want to assume you are aware that MEW was recently a target of hackers and many people lost their coins.

Be careful with this type of merit thread, it's a sure way of getting people to put
you on their ignore list, because some might see this as begging, btw begging for
merit is frowned upon is this forum.

The best thing to do is search the forum for guides, there are lots of advice and guides on the forum already,
for instance, TMAN's guide to getting merit; https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3182178.0.

I agree!

But, the first thought that came to me before reading your comment
was to share your guide on this, so permit me to still share

If you want advice of being a good forum member which will get you
merit without begging, read this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3182178.0.

Kudos!

Repeated or not, sometimes crucial rule and information can never be over emphasis.

The more it is repeated the harder is is for people to miss it,
especially a forum like this where information can be so segregated.

Thanks for sharing, the activity and merit thread was a great read and refresher for me as I'm expecting to move to the next level soon.

General terms say only Jr. Member and above but there's no Jr. Member in the bounty registration form,
only Member and above. Is that deliberate or an oversight?

I want to believe in this project, but like @Morros. I believe the way a project team will treat their investors is determined by how well they are serious about responding to prospective investors queries and questions.

There's a lot of unanswered questions on this thread, I'm sure you know there would be a lot of questions before starting this thread, and if there's any issue why you can't answer at the moment, there should a statement or information to that effect.

Btw, the recent comments have all been like "great project, nice project" and none seems to be bothered about the fact that there are lots of unanswered genuine questions, so I'm hoping these recent comments are genuine, not just for some newbie to rake up in post counts.

Since, we are beginning to fall in love with the project, I think we should be treated the same by the team and their community managers.

After all, the count of great projects coming out this season are abundantly enough for any investor is not grieve over missing out on one.

A lot of questions and no answers, investors are important to any projects, even the small ones and should be treated as such. Why open a this thread if not ready to respond to the queries? I hope the team is serious about this project.

Submitted the bounty form on the site but though it said "mail successfully sent" I have not received the mail.

Hmm! Interesting. Adding to my radar....

This looks interesting, seems to be taking a different direction from all the recent Monero Fork.
Added to my radar!

I just join steemit and made a post, a dude responded with a sensible comment and also dropped the link, I was almost adding the tab to my chrome just to see what it looks like but decided against it, and this thread is a confirmation that I made the right choice not adding the tab, thanks all for the advise.

If you mean a coin that's in Pre-Sale or ICO stage, you can wait for it to be listed on reputable exchange(s).

However, because the crypto space is still largely unregulated, it very easy to get scam, like you'r already aware.

So, the best advice anyone can give you it to take time and read up, learn about the market psychologies, how to research a project/coin, how to manage your exposure to risk/scam, stay updated with crypto related news,etc.

It's takes effort and time, but the education will pay far more than the time and effort invested in it in the longrun .

Like everybody already rightly pointed out above, it will be difficult to give you a definite advise without you mentioning your region/country, because your region/country determines with service or option that are available to you.

I have recently started to use the two platforms and don't really have enough experience with then yet to determine which is valuable than the other, but from the surface I think they are both ok, once I have more experience with them I'll give an update, only time will tell.

Generally, I think investors are usually more than bounty haunters, bounty is always a smaller percentage (sometimes as low as 1%) of the total token and participants are limited to a certain numbers, but the numbers of investors are usually not limited and the percentage is far higher than bounties (can be as high as 70%).

Therefore, when you combined Private Sale, Pre-ICO and the main ICO sales, you will probably get a high number of investors than the bounty hunters. However, it is depended on the objective of the project as regard what they want to archive with the project and how they plan to distribute the token.

Interesting link list, I used most of the link under "ICO and Rating" daily.

I agree, a low volume exchange is the last place for trading! Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the link, over to there right away...
