1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is airdrop a good idea before ICO? on: April 21, 2018, 03:37:25 PM
Hey, guys!
What's your opinion on airdrops? Is it a good way to draw attention of community & possible investors to a project? 

I think the opposite. A good ICO usually has enough hype without any airdrops or bounties. And I don't think that airdrop can attract a lot of investors. Those who participate in airdrops, they usually don't have enough money for investing, as they're just looking for free tokens. So if ICO has an airdrop then it's not a good sign for me, and most likely I would skip such ICOs. But there's one exection, is when airdrop is held instead of a crowdsale, than I would definitely join such airdrops.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, that's actually the point. Sometimes airdrops can attract not future contributors, but people simply who want free tokens.
Though I believe with a good project such problem won't happen

no really worthwhile project will not do airdrop, this is my opinion, have you ever seen that makdonald's or facebook was giving out shares for free?

No, of course. But they do free tasting of new products (as for Mcdonald's), for example.
that's a similar scheme

Airdrop is part of the marketing strategy and one effective way to build a community on social media pages specially in telegram .  It's like promoting a food by having a free taste .

Such a good comparison, I must admit! Smiley
Yeah, I see pros of launching an airdrop. Thanks

If viewed from the perspective of this investor as free and invisible coins will have good prospects but this is a good tool for promotion, In the case of any promotion will be done as long as it is in a healthy way. You can see the success achieved by Coin Havven

Thank you for giving an example, will look thoroughly at their activities

Carrying out an airdrop before the ICO is one way to draw attention to the project. It seems to play a role in attracting investors. Also very important is the structure of the project itself, its idea, team, etc.

And what's on your opinion works better: bounties or airdrop.
The mechanism is a bit similar, I suppose

I don't think that it is a good option to have an airdrop before ICO. Since many members here are thinking of airdrops as a scam. Of course, no one wants to be scammed, right? There are airdrops here that are not paying their members. And that brings a bad reputation to airdrops. Although, airdrops in general is a good thing, but the reputation of it is not good at the moment. If you want to have an airdrop, make sure that you will pay your members well.

Thank you! Unfortunately such things happen, like with some bounties ..
Sure no one is willing to be scammed

As for me, choosing a bounty is the same serious question as choosing the ico to join.
You should do good research to find a worthy program and the project who will in the end fulfill all obligations.

And regarding hodling or selling immediately after the bounty ends - I think the better way is to wait when the project will reach a certain step in its development and become more valuable on the market. And also you can always use these tokens to get access to the projects's functions.

Avoiding the KYC procedure when investing through "dark" pools is for you a plus (provides anonymity and saves time) or a minus (more risks, harm for ICO, illegal status)?


Well, I think that when a project asks for KYC procedure (especially regarding large investments) - that's good and shows that they're very serious and responsible.
But for people who actually invest (and thus have to pass KYC) - that's another headache - as not many people are willing to share their passports' data, bills info and etc
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do we need to diversify? on: March 28, 2018, 08:33:48 PM
Well, definitely. With all these fluctuations it's better to get different cryptos to you portfolio - to minimize the risks.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can cryptocurrency make real money disappear? on: March 27, 2018, 10:39:05 AM
I strongly believe someday it will, but not today or in the couple of years. A lot is needed to be done to make cryptocurrency expand and enter daily lives of people. I'm talking not only about some regulations or legal status,  but also about all the industries and economy fields that should transform and adopt according changes.

And also, coins won't be the only means of payment until people are ready and willing to use it.
12  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Ways to automate crypto referral program? on: March 27, 2018, 10:34:23 AM
Unfortunately, don't know such a solution, but very interested to hear options how to do that. Automation will make this process much more convenient.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: MEDIUM is banning Bounty dedicated account on: March 25, 2018, 06:37:05 PM
Well, that's kind of predictable that Medium has taken measures like Google and FB.
Actually I find these rules quite reasonable as there is so much scam and copy&pasted articles. I really like medium, that's one of my favorites blog platforms. And that would certainly help to improve the quality of the content and protect the readers
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🤔 How to know if the ICO is Scam??? 😅😅 on: March 24, 2018, 06:53:01 PM
Well, I personally advise to do your good research before investing in any project.
- study WP thoroughly ( I can say that many projects' WP is just pretty words with no sense or real application)
- look at the listings and the rating (such as ICO bench - that's one of the best)
- check the team and when they started to work on the project (as for me, I don't trust teams that have no linkedin pages or relevant background)
15  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Bounty Campaigns: outsourced vs in-house on: March 23, 2018, 05:48:55 AM
Well, it's much easier to hire outsource team as they know better what to do, how to attract user to a bounty, how to make it useful for the whole crowdsale, but not just bounty for bounty.
It can be quite complicated to manage bounty program and if your in-house team member is a newcomer to this, he might not be very efficient in this
16  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Marketing on: March 21, 2018, 07:41:39 PM
Media-buying and listings work really good: publish content on your project and list in on major ICO listings platforms
17  Bitcoin / Project Development / Re: Fcbk, Google, and now Twitter? on: March 21, 2018, 07:03:16 PM
Snapchat as well. heard today that they would ban ICO ads, like FB and Google.
Though I believe it's still possible to advertise the project itself, its concept and technology, without underlining crypto features
18  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Bounties (Altcoins) / Re: Bounty Hunters: What makes a good bounty program? on: March 20, 2018, 12:38:16 PM
I believe it's important to check the project itself: the concept, the team, its reliability.

Of, course, bounty terms and conditions are also important: what campaigns are open, how long does the bounty last, what's the budget and etc.
19  Local / Альтернативные криптовалюты / Re: Готова ли крипта быть принята миром? on: March 20, 2018, 12:33:07 PM
Пожалуй, еще немного рано: технология перспективная - это да, но для массового использования в обычной жизни еще не готова. Есть вопрос по скорости транзакций, законодательной части и др. и в целом, для адаптации компаний, банков, финучреждений к работе к криптовалютой потребуется даже не год, а больше
20  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO is new way to get Free money? on: March 19, 2018, 08:30:40 PM
I believe it's not free money for the project. After all, they'll have obligations and promises to fulfill after the team get money: to develop the idea, build the products and etc.
Though ICO can be easier than going for venture capital, for instance
