Investment in ethereum for long term investment is also a good one but then, you need to be careful taking advice on a general forum, I think the best you should do is to look at coinmarketcap and look for some cheap coins with potential and hold, I also advise against holding plenty coins, a few would be better so you can follow up properly

For now most people look at the price so as to make profit forgetting the main aim of the project ,they ought to look at the technical know how of the project,with a good technology a project would succeed and when it does, price will go high.

It is true that most initial coin offering can be seen as scam but I do not accept the saying that all ICO are scam, even though so many are struggling to survive, there are still some that scaled through and was a success.

Of a truth, what should be a thing of Joy for bounty hunters have turned to Agony. Imagine hunters working for several months and the end of the campaign, you won't hear anything from the bounty manager again, sometimes tokens will be locked or one-third of the reward will be paid while bounty hunters have to wait for months before getting the remaining reward. Sometimes they end up not receiving anything even though the project is trading already.

The white paper is suppose to be all about the project. It is very important because in the white paper, you get to find the roadmap of the project and how everything concerning the project will go, but of recent when you check some white papers, it is not just worth reading, so another thing to consider before investing in the project is the team backing the project up.

Community is very key to the success and growth of a project, in a community,you can find people who will tell you how good you are going and also some will find the flaws and tell you to take corrections, the community also help create awareness for the project. Community is key

Well I wouldn't want to say there are no good projects on board especially when you compare with the likes of ethereum, these projects are new and need time to show their potentials. There are projects with innovative potential and solution but considering the downside of the market, everything seem to be slow.

You are very right, I think because most of them encountered a scam ICO so they generalize all initial coin offering to be scam which is totally wrong, like you said, sometimes we need to give the projects time to grow, but no, we want to see it perform too good immediately which might not happen, Not all ICOs are scam.

I am sure you must have done a thorough research before coming up with this list, in my opinion, I think the list is too lengthy, this is because it might be difficult following the progress off all, one to four coins would be preferable by me. I would go for Ethereum, Ripples, litecoin and Binance Coin.

Starting from the last question,it is not possible to know how much exactly one can earn, because all this lies in the success of the project and also on listing.
Finding a good project requires some time, you need to do some research, but presently, I think you can join Tokoin bounty , also you can check the signatures worn in the forum and then do some research to ascertain if it is worth it.

As bad as it may seem, they are some few bounty projects that have paid hunters well, one of such is Morpheus lab,  harmony,  and even dexage, though it comes once in a while but with consistent research, we would be able to find good bounty projects with good reward.

So sad this happened, there is really nothing that can be done, once your private key is with someone else, then your wallet is gone, all you can do now is create a new wallet and be mindful of phishy sites.  Also try to keep your private keys safe.

Gone are the days when bounty hunters mainly depend on bounty to earn a living , right now one should get other jobs and add bounty to compliment, with thorough research one could get a bounty that will give a good pay, but don't depend fully on bounty.

Often times after ICO, when listed, the prices dumps, it's no longer new but then genuine team will keep every possibility to make sure the price go up high again. So before participating in any any project try to do some research about the team.

KuCoin exchange is also a good exchange and can be seen as an alternative to binance exchange.  I use KuCoin a lot but let's also know that the challenges faced by Binance can also happen to any exchange.

In a case where several accounts were also hacked in the exchange, then it is the fault of the exchange or site and they will be held responsible  for the hack because their security is weak but in the occasion where you are the only one affected, then it's definitely your fault, take precautionary measures next time.

It's really not easy to stick around when the ups are down but if you understand how the crypto space works then you would really love to stick around, just make sure to hold coins with Potential and you will be happy you did.

I would gladly choose staked base bounty over fixed staked bounty. Staked bases bounty will really bring out the best in any bounty hunter so as to acquire more tokens and usually all tokens are distributed unlike the fixed bounty allocation.

Crypto and safety, well one needs to be careful no matter how safe you think the exchange is, commonly used exchange without kyc is Binance exchange, you can buy your crypto there,  but send out to your wallet after purchase, that's the safest thing to do.

Very well said,failure is indeed part of success, that being said depending on someone isn't the best, sometimes in life, we need to stand strong and bold to make some decisions ourselves,especially in the crypto space, you don't need to do what you see everyone doing, you need to know the reason behind it and ask yourself if it's worth it, make your decision.
