One crypto investor lost bitcoin worth as much as $24 million after falling victim to a new kind of hack known as SIM swapping, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Michael Terpin was hit by the attack on January 7, 2018, days after bitcoin reached its record high price. Thieves stole roughly 1,500 bitcoins by taking control of his phone number and using Google's "Forgot password?" feature to gain access to his email. With possession of the two personal accounts, the thieves hacked Terpin's crypto wallet, stole the digital assets and quickly sold them, according to WSJ.
Bitcoin traded between $16,969 and $15,790 per coin on January 7, 2018. The digital coin now trades at roughly $8,700.

Bounty project selection in my opinion should do the analysis yourself, so that later when meeting with a scam project there is no need to blame someone. because every person is different, honestly I prefer to follow bounty campaigns such as weekly or monthly payments / like the cryptotalk campaign that I follow right now, paying for each post. If you want to pay in the form of bitcoin every week or direct payment I recommend chipmixer, bitvest, roobet, cryptotalk and many more. currently available slots are only cryptotalk campaigns.

Or you can follow the GOLD stable coin bounty campaign, this is real and many people have discussed it.

It doesn't matter if you need advice from several users here, it's just that you need to reconsider or re-examine suggestions from anyone. after all, you've also been part of the Cannacor project, while the project is already running for 4 weeks and there's still 4 weeks left? but why do you want to switch to another project? if you want, you can join a project that I follow like EZ365.

Depend's on what you like mate. There are campaigns here that can give you btc directly by wearing signature but this campaign has required such good post and frequently asking for merits earned. This is good since they will know that their participants will not post nonsense here.

 You can also join altcoin bounties, but you need to pick a very legit one. I suggest you join E3T Its been listed on Dcoin and already traded. But I like youre signature, the firm is flagged as Legit ICO in the Telegram I followed for ICO announcement.

You can also join Roobet but the participants are full now for Full member. Just wait maybe they will open slot if some got removed by spamming or being inactive.
