ICO = initial coin offering. This is when a coin is first offered to general public.
Bounty is a reward. Can be for reporting a bug, translating a the site of a coin or helping with marketing. Stuff like that.

Two quick web searches and you would have found the following helpful sources. About ICO (Initial Coin Offering) you find this Wikipedia article.

Bounties are rewards for tasks like doing captchas, doing programming jobs or just wearing a signature of a project (most projects which hold an ICO) while you post. You can also get rewards for spreading the word of something on social media like Twitter or Facebook. There is a wide range of bounty types here on Bitcointalk. Here is an external source for bounties https://www.bitcoindetector.com/bitcoin-bounties/

Think of a bounty as a token of appreciation for your help or service performed, in this case you helping advertise Authorship and your reward will be $10 after ICO ends.

Bounty is the reward of the sig campaign and ICO (i think) is the token sale.

thats the same question that i have since im still a newbie w/ bitcoin. Now i have few ideas on how bounty or ICO works. I still have a lot of question regarding bitcoin and i hope someone can help me or give me some information on how to earn bitcoins

You can compare it to an Initial Public Offering, or IPO, with a company’s stock. This is when investors can first publicly purchase shares of stock. An ICO is similar where it’s the first public offering to purchase coins for their blockchain project. Check out this blog post if you want some more detail on how they work, and how to get involved in one:

Bounty mostly promoting a certain coin in any social media platforms.

Bounty Campaign- There are many types of bounty here in forum.
 -Signature Campaign
 -Social Media Campaign
 -Translation Campaign
 -Blog, Articles
 -Youtube Campaign
 -Telegram Campaign
In this campaigns you can earn some coins by promoting their project (example: Like and share their post on facebook everyday).

ICO = initial coin offering. This is when a coin is first offered to general public.

This is right, you can earn bigger on ICO's but with higher risk because you need to invest some money in joining an ICO but it is more profitable than bounties because they offer their coins at lower price before its released to the market.

ICO is the process of seeking funds or investors through cryptocurrency method, anyone interested in an ICO project can take part in purchasing tokens that can later be sold on the exchange. For Bounty itself is a method of disseminating information that is taken by the ICO project team, so that their project can be widely known in the community and the people who follow Bounty get paid from their work.

Tthis is an opportunity to get tokens of a new project without investing in it.

Or typical Promotion including promotion in social networks to attract a new investors.

In addition, Bounty is a payment or reward often offered by a group, as a positive motivation influence for the accomplishment of a task.
An initial coin offering, also commonly referred to as ico,  is a fundraising mechanism, that is if a company or someone offers investors some new cryptocurrency in exchange against crytocurrencies like ethereum and bitcoin.

ICO is an abbreviation for initial coin offering. When a new coin launches, it gives away a part of their coins to people, to outsource the help with the launch such as marketing, translation, etc. People who do this are called bounty hunters since they receive a bounty (tokens) for the work done.

[Shingaling]

Join bounty campaigns and contribute to the forum do what is needed to do and in the end of the campaign they will give you reward and I think this is the easiest way to earn tokens without your money involve.

I made a topic not long ago explaining this and many other cryptocurrency terms you may be curious about, I hope you find it useful.

[spacelab]

Every company has its own terms for that
But its made up in order to develop/promote sturtups

[AngryToken]

an ICO stands for initial coin offering so it means it is the first time the coin is available to be sold to the public, and a bounty campaign is when they reward you with coins so that is the difference between those two.

Which could be amazing great and worth to invest in 0,01% cases and in 99,99% cases its a scam, selling for huge money smth that was copy pasted from bitcoin itself and its worthless
big promisses, big words, nothing to deliver after ICO
dont fall for it

there is a reason google banning ico ads, its not google not liking crypto, they got hammered with ico scam ads reports they had to react

[Arwinkim]

Well, I will try to explain it as simple as possible below.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a phase of new token being introduced to public to open for investments. Bounty is campaign held by ICO publisher to attracts more investors. You (bounty hunter) must meet specified requirements of ICO publisher in order to earn their tokens.
