I dont understand why this shit back in action after they turning scam way back a year. If people stil fall to Bitconnect then this shit will make money again. Dont trust this Bitconnect anymore or else you want to gone your money!!

It's important for them to have bounty especially if they believe that it'll give them more exposure to the community.

That's about the never stopping advertisement and exposure so investors will never forget about them. That's how marketing goes, once you stop there's a tendency that the marketing you've made will eventually forgotten. But if you will continue, there's a chance that people will have your coin stick to their minds.

On shit coins generally can not get hung up their our attention. If you once were lucky, and you successfully traded some sort of shit coin, this does not mean that it will always be like this. In any case, you need to quickly get rid of overt scam coins.

I think it's high time projects know that they cannot rely solely on bounty and airdrop as a means of promotion. A lot of projects launch and they rely on their bounty campaigns and airdrop to help bring in investors and therefore fail to reach their softcap.

I never said bounties are not effective but it should only be used to create and reward their community not to bring in investors. If a project wants to promote it crowdsale then the team should deploy real promotional means like paying top influencers, attending conferences, advertisements on top sites like coinmarketcap, etc. Because no matter how good the project is, if it can't market properly then it won't reach its goals and if a project is mediocre but have a top notch marketing program, it will succeed beyond expectations.

actually the bounty has helped a bit in marketing a project, but now it seems that investors are more interested and will get information easily through advertisements on crypto websites or magazines

It's simple. Do not store private keys, important passwords on a computer that has access to the network. Yes, maybe this is inconvenient. But it is extremely safe.

We all know that the crypto market is volatile. Given this volatility, most of the coins go up and down in no time. It does happen whenever there is a good or bad news surrounding cryptocurrency. For instance, bitcoin reached at its peak of $20000, and dropped as low as $3700 in a short period. Again bitcoin increased high due to Facebook issuing its digital currency called Libra.

Bounty managers are responsible for this, they should double check if there are cheaters in their list, bounty hunters now are fully much aware of this, that is why they implement, posting authentication this is to make sure only participants can get in, but still double check your entries.

There has been a revival of activity on some projects who had gone cold with little to no activity on their different media channels during the crypto winter - leaving their own communities clueless on the status of these projects. I thought it would be good if the crypto-community would be more aware of this because it could be a red flag and a sign that these projects don't really care about their stakeholders.

This could possibly happen but how are we going to boycott and stop it, they have the platform and community and of course products where they can use their own cryptocurrency, it will just be laid out to these platforms, so whether we like it or not, they are going to make an impact.

Will you trust a project that the one that announced it in the announcement thread is a legendary member even though the legendary has announced that he is not part of the team and was just part of the service he offered.

Let me know your thoughts here.

On an exchange where in there's a large volume of Bitcoins, have a 24/7 service support, secured website, licensed, known and reputable exchange such as Binance, Bit-z, etc. you can take a peek on this website https://coinmarketcap.com/rankings/exchanges/ but most of those exchanges have a requirements to every project or company so your project should completed all the requirements the exchange is asking for.

Do you realize that a few people are really dumping off certain tokens on certain exchanges and these tokens are accessible on other huge exchanges with better volume?

This is another method for exchanging and making benefits ,for instance refereum token is accessible on bitmart with low volume and numerous brokers on there are dumping at less expensive rate ,I get some with btc and send from bitmart to gate.io and I already get 15% more $$$ by selling.

I would mention few realities about the IEO I have been reading about. IEO is probably the best fundraising mechanism so far in the history of crypto. The reason is that investors find it very trustworthy to invest in IEO because the exchange promises the best project which could gain value. So once the exchange accepts a project and conduct IEO, the investors know that there is going to be value addition.
