Hi guys,

Here's my question:

1) I have found two ICOs that I really like. They are going to kick off in 2 and 3 weeks.
2) I would like to bounty for them in translations and articles writing. I write good copywrite in English and Russian.
3) I am not sure that they will be able to deliver on their promise to distribute the coins to bounty hunters, since they might fail to reach the specified hard cap. I am not saying that they are scams. Here's what I'm saying:

a) they do not specify any soft cap
b) they specify the hard caps of 4 and 6 millions respectively
c) I am not sure that they will be able to reach these hard caps
d) If they fail to reach the hard caps, they will have to return the money to the investors, since it's the mechanics of the smart contracts that they use
e) One of the coins has a good coder who told me that they have created the ICO smart contracts in such a way as to assure the return-upon-failure-to-reach-hard-cap function. He said that I could easily ask any of my coder friends to check that.
The other coin did not say anything on topic topic and I don't yet have the oomph, required to pressure the answers out of them.
f) If the team returns the fund to investors, they will not have any money to pay out to the bounty hunters. This is not the scenarios that I want to see...)))

Does this make sense or am I getting something totally wrong?

If it makes sense to you, then how do I move from here to mitigating the risks down to the lowest level?

(I am working with yet another team. They pay me me real good upfront cash for articles and liasoning. And I write good stuff. I asked them about the bounty and said that I don't have to worry about that, as they will distribute a good portion of tokens a couple of weeks after the ICO's gone live, since we are going to go long distance and already talking what we are going to do the next 2 years.

In this case, I'm sort of vested since I'm deep in cahoots - in the good meaning of this phrase - with the leadership, and if the ICO fails and I don't get a distribution, so be it. But the situation with the other two teams is totally different, since I'm not inside and I don't have any idea as to their inner workings.)

Hi guys,

I have the following question:

I am talking to the community management team with a cryptocurrency.

They are trying to talk me inot writing articles for them. I don't want to specify their name so that they can't say that I was bad-mounthing them.

These are the main points:

1. The have the hard cap and no soft cap for their ICO. The ICO provides for the distribution of 144 000 000 coins. They provide for the discounts. The highest discount (for those who buy tokens within the first hour) provide for the reduction of the price by 50%. 1 token equals 1 dollar. This means that if the whole volume has been bought at this discount, they would sell out at the level of 75 million dollars. This means that it's pretty strange, coz I think that it's very high for them. In addition, this means that if they fail to reach the hard cap of 144 millions, they will have to return the funds and will not be able to pay me for my efforts in coins, right? I mean - if they had the soft cap of, say, 300K USD, they would be able to distribute my bounty back to me, right?

2. There is no information what's going to happen if they have failed to reach the hard cap.

3. The White Paper is very bad and the team is very bad too.

4. There's no developer in sight.

5. They are sort working from home with no office...

6. The founder has the linkedin account with the first posts dating back 2 weeks ago.

7. They have specified some escrows in their White Paper, but I don't know who those people are. The escrows have no linkedin account specified.

They want me to write articles. I think that this ICO is fishy. Can you help me determine whether it's fishy or not. Could you please specify whether any of the 7 points make you think that it's fishy too.

Hi guys,

I've got the following question:
If I have just posted a question on this forum, how can I learn that somebody has quoted me?
I think that this would a very useful option because this would immediately notify me as to any answers that might be exactly linked to my question.
I understand that it might just be easier to read the the thread every time you get online in order to look for any answers that people might have left since it's quite probably that people would live me an answer without directly quoting me, but their answer might still be pertinent to my question.
But I still think that this option would be useful.

Do you know whether there are any options that you can utilize to learn about that you've just been quoted?
