Many bounty managers don't like listening to what bounty hunters have in mind but this won't stop me from saying the name of two bounty managers that listens, they believe in fairness and good contribution of their bounty hunters
1. Bubbalex
A cool headed guy who spend time on projects and he is never in rush bringing new projects to his BHs, even after finding one he still warns bounty hunters not to trust his judge that he might be wrong. once too many people are joining his Campaign he always brings a limitation rules up.
2. Bounty Detective
Bounty detective are doing very good this year, they take their job very seriously and right now they are taking distributions of every bounty projects into their own very hands meaning they are using escrow, bounty payments are guaranteed
These two bounty managers listens to the audience and once too many participants are joining their campaigns they put up a stop to registration depending on the max worth of the bounty allocation.
I will definitely like to add more but these are the only two bounty hunters that I have something to say about presently
I have taken part in a bounty campaign managed by Bounty Detective and I can personally say that they actually have done what the OP says about bounty campaign distribution guarantee and also about the limit of participants. But I didn't come to know about Bubbalex till now and after a quick search I looked in his profile and the work he is doing is really amazing and I am looking forward to join one of his campaigns as well because he is also filtering out the inactive participants from the active ones and giving those slots to the other people who are willing to participate. |

If I think about it, then I come with an idea that only cryptocurrency-start-ups are enjoying the "free" time connected to the current COVID-19 situation. As you said, they excuse because COVID-19, but the reality is different. All cryptocurrency projects could completely operate online, they even do not have a physical location. So tell me, why they can´t work on the project development?  That's what I said that even if the team used to meet on a physical location prior to the lockdown and pandemic now they can do the meetings online and have work done. The only problem is gonna be with those clients or investors who actually want to meet with the team personally, in that case they would have to let go of the investor or at least make him agree to come to some conclusion. The rest projects are just scam who are making an excuse of the lockdown in order to not do the work that they were given. |

Another exclusive analysis for y'all. Remarkable similarity between today and the June 2019 bull run. We might have another leg down first, especially due to covid fears but it's unlikely to go below $8500. After that, the rise will be sharp and swift, blink and you'll miss it   All the fear of a bearish run have gone down and everyone everywhere are predicting a bull run now, I think we have to be more careful from now on as a lot of times bitcoin do what is expected the least from it, so there can be an incoming market crash, but currently everything seems fine and the TA also hold good and looks like we will be having a Bullish market soon enough. I've been waiting from a long time for the market to do something, its been dead from a long time since the month of April and now finally we will be able to see some price action. |

At this moment no one is expected to use COVID-19 as an excuse to launch or get things done on their project. The good and serious project will keep getting things done no matter what.
There are many ways to get your project completed even when the members are from different countries and even in lockdown as well, you can have zoom meets or can do discussions on slack, telegram or discord channels. The projects are just trying to delay the working product until it is listed on an exchange and then dump the tokens reserved for the development team on the buyers who are thinking that the projects are having some life in it. Although some projects might be having a genuine problem where their development team might have been infected from COVID or any other genuine reason, but the main thing that keeps your customers with you is transparency and care towards them, if you give your 100% then the investors and customers will always support you too. |

I see some good project still developing their project while this pandemic is on. Maybe the project didnot continue or postponed have an good excuse. But, i think if the project have a good fundamental they can survive this pandemic and launch their project.
when they still have a strong desire to continue the project I think they will be able to survive and pass this time. but some projects just stopped and disappeared from the community. it is part of a bad new project. This is also good for the community as well, what if they would have listed on the exchange or could have succeeded with their ICO and then they would have taken the investors money with them while fleeing. So this is actually really good as only those projects will now stay that are having real long term goals and not the ones which are in the market for the money of the investors and don't want to do anything innovative for the community. These are purely my ideas, I would like to hear what others have to say about this. |

2017 was the year that I have started my cryptocurrency journey. During that year alone, I invested in some few ICOs on top of participating in airdrops and bounty programs.
Blackmoon Crypto Token (BMC) was the first ever ICO that I’ve invested. I think I shelled out $10.00+ for that since I’m just a micro-investor. I remember the time that Blackmoon Crypto Token is almost sold out, so I had to catch up and good thing that I did.
Unfortunately, Blackmoon Token didn’t profit more than $1.00 when it was listed in exchanges. My $10.00 worth of BMC is now $0.42 only. The reason I hold it until now is because I want to keep this as a remembrance of the first-ever ICO that I’ve invested.
The other ICOs that I have invested next to Blackmoon last 2017 are Paragon Coin, Electroneum, Universa, Crypterium and LoyalCoin. Unfortunately all of these ICOs I’ve invested are at a loss, but I didn’t sell them until now.
On top of that, I also invested some TRXs as well during that year and until now I haven’t sold them. XRP is another coin I have invested when it was still around $0.77, but successfully sold them when it almost reached $4.00. I also bought DOGE when it was still $0.006 and sold it when that coin is on it’s way to an all-time high for a quick profit.
What about you guys? Could you share the very first ICO that you’ve invested? Thanks!
My first investment in a crowdfunded project was in Ethereum and after that I have done a lot of investments in the ICO trend of 2017. My best investment was in XRP which I brought very cheap and also held onto XRP until the ATH and when the price was falling then I sold my XRP. I also bought DOGE when it was still $0.006 and sold it when that coin is on it’s way to an all-time high for a quick profit. DOGE is also a pretty good investment when you enter at the right time in the market, it having a history of mass periodic price increases almost every year which makes it even more interesting, although after that price increase it again come back to its initial price as well. |

I love the fact that the whole world isn't aware of Bitcoin yet. I see Bitcoin as a digital Gold. It is supposed to be scarce to retain its credibility. If Gold was made accessible to everyone, The value would never be as high it has always been. In the case of Bitcoin, before the century goes off a quantum of the world population will be accessing the internet and I'm not sure a lot of people will still be interested in knowing what it is.
Price of gold depends on its availability, and it is very hard to mine and they are also have less quantity present inside earth compared to other metals so it has got its value. Bitcoin also like the same but it is mineable by calculating and confirming the blocks.If you want everyone to use cryptos then you need to tell them what is actually a bitcoin not just its value and how can we get our Bitcoin. But the problem in gold vs bitcoin equation is that bitcoin is having a finite supply as compared to gold about which previously it was said that it is having finite supply but now on many asteroids the scientists have found gold which means that gold isn't having a limited supply. So this definitely shows that bitcoin is superior than gold and should also be considered more premium investment but as bitcoin is still pretty new and in the early adapters phase so there is a lot of volatility in it but with time this will also change and bitcoin will become a trusted investment in which everyone would like to invest. |

Those bitcoins were auctioned off in a series of auctions bit by bit by the FBI and from what I remember this wasn't even the actual amount of bitcoins that were confescated from DPR, a lot of the bitcoins were already stolen from him by a few rogue FBI agents. This was the first major bust of a darknet market and still there are many loopholes in the theory of FBI on how they come to know about the real identity of DPR and a lot of people also believe that many facts were twisted to close down those loopholes and this case too. |

It is better to choose the top altcoins in this market to invest. It will help you limit your losses and risk. Do not invest in new projects at the moment because I believe it will quickly collapse and the price will fall many times.
New projects are also fun to invest in if you know what to look for and that comes with experience in ICO investing after a few years. I personally invest in many ICO and don't wait enough to see their fall, I always trade my tokens for a profit margin of 30-60% if the token reaches more price than that then I keep a small part of my token stack but if not then I sell all of my tokens. Although sometimes these projects get cancelled or maybe go into a dumping phase right after exchange listing and this is actually happening pretty often now, so I won't advise anyone who is new to ICO investing to take a big risk in a single project, you should always keep your eggs in different baskets. |

Warning using stablecoins is dangerous. The CENTRE Consortium blacklisted a USDC address in response to a law enforcement request, freezing $100,000 worth of the stablecoin.
What happens when an address is frozen/blacklisted: it cannot receive USDC anymore and all USDC controlled by that address is blocked and cannot be transferred on-chain. $100,000 is a big money and I am sure this huge amount of money is related to some theft or illegal proceedings. So it's good to have such kind of controls in crypto market. This is the only way we can stop illegal things her. We often hear about million dollar hacks in bitcoin, but we need to realize that the uncontrollable nature of bitcoin is actually fueling such nuisances. With USDC, there's actually a chance of getting the hacked money back to its lawful owners. That's great for this crypto market filled with thieves and miscreants! I don't see any danger here unless you are doing something illegal! But the main point here is about the centralized nature of USDC. Now the control is again back with the companies or the issuer of the token and moreover the chances of exit scam also will be increased with newly launched stable coins. This isn't the idea behind the use of cryptocurrencies as they were meant to be decentralized in nature, now what is the difference between the banks freezing the wallets and USDC which also did the same. Now maybe people shouldn't hold their coins in the form of stable coins which I previously used to do. |

Taxes on Bitcoins It is completely unreasonable because Bitcoin is decentralized and no one can control, The government of any country cannot control it like Fiat currency. Bitcoin is still illegal in many countries and many do not support. If no one knows the real source of Bitcoin then any platform will look at the debate over the imposition of tax on Bitcoin. The government of a country imposes a tax on cryptocurrency to improve their country.
But the income should be taxable when the person is converting his bitcoins or altcoins into cash. Then they should pay taxes on the gained profit from the crypto because the taxes that they will pay will actually help their country in improving the services for its citizens. Also the biggest debate here is in determining the amount of income that the person earns from cryptocurrencies because there are many ways to hide the income and get away without paying the taxes, but I am sure in the future if the governments make crypto legal all around the globe then they will also find ways to tax the crypto income as well. |

There is a possibility that they move their BTCs to ETH is because of the upcoming Ethereum 2.0. However, if they are thinking long term about Ethereum, it’s going to be all about decentralized finance (DeFi).
On the other side, there’s also a possibility that they move their BTCs to ETH is because of the Forsage scam hype (which is now the #1 DApp according to DappStats) where they are using Ethereum’s smart contract in their ponzi scheme system. It also hogs 13% to 25% of the Ethereum’s network which results to high gas fees.
This is just my own analysis or point of view though about the possibilities of moving funds to Ethereum.
People always fall for these HYIP schemes and when their money gets struck in the contract then they come and whine about it, even though we already have told them about it in the first place. Moreover I don't think that this much of bitcoins should be transferred to Ethereum blockchain for the purpose of investing in Forsage as this would also show in the incoming ethers to the smart contract, I guess it is just because of the Ethereum 2.0 hype because people want to capitalize on it and are preparing for dumping their coins on the people who are going to buy ethers after the 2.0 announcement. |

I have noticed that there are many people here who do not understand that many cryptocurrencies are stablecoins. Stablecoin means that its price is designed to be as stable as possible. That means there will be no ROI from buying and hodling bunch of stablecoins. Coins with very large or infinite max supply are very likely designed to be stablecoins because that way they can stabilize the price by emitting more coins when the coin scales rapidly. Just like they do with FIAT to keep the exchange rate stable. Stablecoins are rarely perfectly stable, but they are considered stablecoins because of their effort to keep the price stable.
No one invest in stablecoins now a days as you already mentioned that the price will always remain the same so whot would be the benefit of investing in stable coins. Although in the starting days of introduction of stablecoins the market wasn't the same, I have seen the USDT price fall and rise more than 3% from its pegged price, but that was in the days when this stable coin idea was comparatively new but now people are confident in putting their money in stable coins but not for investment purposes, only for a small amount of time for parking their money in unpredictable market conditions and when the storm passes or when they think it is the right time, then they buy back their investments. |

The only thing that you can do is HOLD and hope in a future listing. Pay attention in the future to this kind of investments. Collect more info about the project and listings because a coin without pairs has no value!
That project is already abandoned and the only thing that the OP can do is to either hope for some other team to pickup this coin and restart the project, but the chances of it happening are pretty less. OP should have done a research prior to buying his coins, maybe he was greedy to make some profit on low marketcap coins, but was unlucky to have suffered such loss. If you are a new person in investing then you shouldn't play with low volume coins and the coins which aren't even in the top 100 list of altcoins, I guess you will learn something good from your mistake. |

If I'm to choose between a long term project and a short term, I'll go for the short term. This is because the present state of bounties barely gives substantial returns and long term projects are borne out of greed on the part of the project to raise more funds and its possible that even after the long duration, we won't still make anything out of the bounty.
I think you need to change your mind, you should choose bounty based on its quality. If they do IEO at large exchanges, you should be involved and don't care about the time of bounty. Projects having IEO at large exchanges and also having bounty campaigns are hard to come by and moreover due to the number of participants the reward is mostly low as compared to those bounty campaigns having listing at a normal exchange and having decent number of participants as the chances of growth are more of that coin rather than waiting or 3 to 4 months. Also sometimes the project also scams people and run away with their money, so after 3 months of marketing for them you will get nothing in return for that hard work that you have done. |

It doesn't matter if that happens ...
Because the fewer people who leave the bounty, the more gifts they will get. Because many payment systems are based on stake. Likewise with airdrop. and maybe I will survive
If a lot of people start leaving the bounty campaigns then there can be 2 possibilities in the future, in the first outcome the remaining participants will get higher and better rewards and in the second case the new bounties will dry up because of less number of participants. Although bounty campaigns are actually a pretty cheap source of marketing for the projects and also the reach that the participants provide is immense. |

Ethereum is better for transaction not only because of time and block confirmation the main readon I am considering ethereum is for transaction is that fees whole comparing by converting to fiat currency transaction fees is cheaper in ethereum . May in future if ethereum price increases then it may increase now ethereum is better for me crypto currency transaction.
I agree more, ethereum is faster and the fees were not that high compared to btc. We can see the specks and differentation of their techncial aspect when it comes to speed and size. My only concern is if eth already move on pos will it affect the transaction and scalability? I mean will it improve or just be worse? Miners will probably get sad when this time happened. Why would the miners get sad! I think there will be higher rewards for the miners for their work and less for the people who are staking the Ethers. I guess this hybrid system is actually going to help increase the price of ethereum as it will give power to mine ethers to both the parties, the miners as well as the whales who will be staking their ethers. So I don't think that there would be any affect on the transaction and scalability of ethereum after the introduction of POS. Moreover I think that it will be improved by the POS going on along with POW. |

You can do that as long as you have the recovery phrase from your hardware wallet, you can use that with Electrum.
Now this means that I always have to save the copy of my private key somewhere safe at all times because the bitcoins from the hardware wallet are also not recoverable. But this also jeopardize the safety of the hardware wallet as already there is a copy of the private key out there outside the wallet so higher chances of the funds being stolen. I guess the problem of storing the private key more securely also arises now since we know that the hardware wallet can also stop working at any time or any mishap can happen. |

if your hardware stops working, you're a dead man.
No, you are not. You probably don't know that you can import your seed from a hardware wallet to an Electrum wallet. To easily understand it, you can easily connect your wallet from that hardware even if it's broken with the use of Electrum wallet. I guess the OP says that if you don't have the backup of the wallet then you are dead, well that's with every wallet out in the market as well, if you are using the software wallet then also you are prone to attacks and your funds can easily be stolen by a hacker or the person having physical access to your wallet as compared to a hardware wallet where funds are more secure than a software wallet and always is password protected by default. Also I didn't knew about the importing of key from a broken hardware wallet to electrum wallet, should it be from a backup or we can also extract the key from the broken hardware wallet?? |

Few DeFi projects still lose money due to security hacks for each example balancer lost 500,000 worth of ETH to a hacker weeks ago, this shows that not all DeFi projects are capable of keep users funds safe, this is not the only problem I'm worried about, scammers have not even start building fake DeFi projects yet, maybe this DeFi story will end up like ICO hype of 2017? What's your thoughts on this?
Hackers are always searching different ways to hack the target and profit financially or in terms of user data that they can use further, moreover this is the fault of the developers that they left any vulnerability in the code which lead to an attack and thus caused users loosing their funds. The same thing also happened in past with many other ethereum network ICO and Dapps and in the case of DAO hack there was a hardfork of the ethereum blockchain which gave birth to ethereum classic. These kind of hacks are also beneficial for making the blockchain and website more secure because they make the vulnerability known to the developers and thus they can patch that vulnerability in the future making the code more secure. |
