With some highly rated projects now embarking on activities that appear more political than ethical such as lotteries, 5% public sell and more private sells etc. Do you think these more than the bearish market have changed some HODLers to DUMPers? People now wait for a coin to list and next thing....flip what do you think?

I have watched and seen most questions asked about bounty campaigns. How does it work, what are the opportunities and threats, how does one make out or spot a good bounty campaign and finally who can participate. These questions have been asked in different occasions by different people. To help answer some of these questions to the best of my knowledge, I would offer some perspective in that regard as brief as possible.
First, bounty is like an incentive offered by companies to individuals who are willing to do some form of tasks on social media platforms. This reward could be likened to trade by barter, in which case the company gives tokens in exchange for targeted social media advertisement. This way the company is able to reach hundreds of thousands of prospects or even millions of potential customers through social media (Facebook, twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn), bitcointalk signature, content creation and so on. In return the bounty participants get paid for their work.
Secondly, bounty campaign comes with several opportunities and threats. One of the most prominent way to earn bitcoin without capital investment is by engaging in bounty programs. This could be so rewarding in some cases if one finds a good project and has a good ranking and huge social media presence. Conversely, more often than not , the rewards do not commensurate the time and effort. The reasons for this could be categorized as:
1. Low bounty cap by companies or bounty managers
2. No limit set for the maximum number of participants per campaign
3. Not so good projects that hardly get listed on exchanges or go 90x below ICO when listed
4. Participant fails to follow strict campaign rules
With that said, the risk/reward ratio is fairly manageable.
Furthermore, the important question remains, how does one find a good campaign? To answer this, I would recommend the following steps:
1. Do your research about the project like someone who is investing his lifesaving. Time they said is money, so you would need to do equal due diligence before participating
2. Join well known bounty managers such as krypital, bounty0x, Amazix, sylon, Bountyhive etc. They all have websites and telegram groups where one could watch out for good projects. ICOdrops also list bounty campaigns and they do a good background check before listing on their website.
3. Check the cap allocated to bounty campaign by the company and the breakdown into individual campaigns. The higher the bounty allocation cap, the merrier.
Lastly, about who can participate in different campaigns, each campaign has its unique requirements for hunters. You need to check the specific campaign for what applies and decide if it fits your taste.
Summarily, bounty brings different fulfillment to different people albeit some setbacks. If one treats the choice of a bounty the same way one treats the choice of investments, one would be happy doing a couple of campaigns with awesome rewards.

A friend invested in SAMfins and was kicked out of the group. She told me about this, I joined the group and asked about the team, guess what... was also given the tali"BAN". My concern is that the team isn't on wp or website. Wondering if anyone knows better here

Good day folks
I have watched and seen how bounty campaigns have potentially made hundreds and tens of thousands of dollars within a year for some bounty hunters especially those ranking high in BTT. That said, I see some bounty managers predominantly the Amazix guys in recent days manage a couple of bounty campaigns simultaneously. I currently have a particular bounty manager in three of my ongoing campaigns atm.
Though the job requires a lot of time, am I correct to say that these managers are rewarded extravagantly? Please share your thoughts as I look towards pursuing that endeavor in the future.

I have been trying to rap my head around the incredibly appraisal system introduced by the admin. The system no doubt is strategic and delibrate to enhance the quality of posts. I sincerely respect the idea.
However, without trying to gainsay or second-guess the admin, I think the system puts our new members in a horrible disadvantage. It's rather  funny how top members look at posts from new members with eyes fixed at the rank first. This gives them a mindset, and they read such posts with a funny face that "this is a new kid in the block" . Regardless of ranks in here, some newbies are already ancestors in cryptocurrency environment and imo, it is condescending to dismiss posts based on ranks.
Finally, this system albeit it's promise of improving the post quality hinders new members from deserved merits from the merit "whales" lol. Few people are that generous to give a post from a newbie or jr member any chance or merit and the democratic sense in it is shaken to its very foundation. Let's embrace ideas irrespective of ranks, it feels good to have merits anyway.

I have participated in a couple of social media campaigns albeit low payouts sometimes. I am currently looking to participate in signature campaign, but I have challenge with how it really works and the demand. Secondly, what does it mean to wear "avater"?I'd sincerely appreciate your feedback.
