It is not a doubt that the leading problem faced in the alcoin/ICO investment is dumping. Seeing a token you invested into being traded at a drastically low price to the face value is highly pathetic. What do you think the project developers can do to prevent the bad effects of dumping on investment?
The leading source of dumping is people that purchased during the private or presale at a substantial discount. The way to prevent that dumping is to require that they are subject to mandatory holding periods. ICO's don't want to do that because without that substantial discount and the ability to sell it as soon as it starts trading these people would not invest. As an investor you can avoid this by not investing in projects that offered large Private and PreSale discounts but without any hold period.

dumping is inevitable because once you unlock a token, there is nothing you can do about it because you are no longer in control of the coins any more, the users do what ever they wished with it, if they want to sell low, you can't stop them. I am seconding your point, I don't dumping of tokens cannot be prevented because everyone is in control of their coin, you might be holding a huge amount of coin and something might happen, you can decide to sell off and tackle the problem, so you can't prevent dump, it will always happen because people will sell at price they feel it is okay by them

I think one way to prevent dumping is to reward bounty hunters either through eth or btc. Also, they should not offer discounts so as to prevent dumping by investors. They would want to sell at ico price or even higher instead.

I have seen projects do this in the past such as with Qtum and it seemed to work well for them. Another method to help reduce dumping would be to allocate only a small percentage to bounties like 1% of the total coins and maybe distribute them in portions.

Lol This is a joke question because dumping can never be stopped Why?? Every one has access to their wallet and has an access to their decisions too You can compel me not to dump or sell They have control of their wallet. OP needs to try to get a better question rather than this one. The only problem these icos must never try to offer a lot of discount in the crowdsale and that can prevent those investors to dump their tokens. So many icos created a non-sense discount to attract this ico trader.

its only natural for an altcoin to dump. it is because of an individual who decides to sell their investment for some reason. the only thing that the developers can do to prevent it is to improve their product and to show their investors that their product is worth to invest with.

Sadly it's a free market out there. Dumping is something part of that free trade. It is the same concept that allows hodlers to keep their coins at will.
So it will be a paradox to dictate dumping to be prevented as it will manifest a restricted hodling too. Perhaps ICOs should really work hard to emphasize utility of their token that would make coin holders think twice before dumping.
But i do get your point, it is somehow relatively pathetic to buy ICO tokens and just dump it away with face value shredded into bits. Unless of course the tokens they hold was from bounty payments that they know not the actual value of investment.

They can buy into their coins to stability the price and if want to prevent bounty hunters sell-off, they can lock reward tokens in the certain time

You cant prevent people from doing what they want especially dumping their coins. Some people dump their coin to invest in a different project and some of the dumpers who got their coin for free from airdrop or bounty dump their coin to take profit from it.

Sell or airdrop only to people who care about the project? (how do you even identify such people?) Prevent people from dumping all at once? Give rewards or bonuses to holders? Incentives people to hold? Only airdrop tokens or coins to people who would hold long-term?

We can't do nothing about it, and also why would we? There wouldn't be any pumps if there is no dumps.

Well basically dumping is normal to a market and almost all ico projects that are listed to an exchanger are drastically went at very low price . Some factors are because of BOUNTY HUNTERS- We all know that bounty hunters has major impact once they sell all their token at the market. Some hunters sold their token very cheap from the face value of the token NO BUYERS- when the token are listed at the exchanger and very low volume some may tend to sell their coin at the ask price far away from the original price then major dump will follow

I think dumping is mostly done by investors who buy them during pre-sale/private sale at a fraction of the public sale price For these investors even selling (dumping) below public sale price give them great profit. Generally these investors hold vast qty of coins and dumping of this coins below ICO price will effects the coin value and credibility will will furthe pulls down the coin price as normal investors gets panicked and start selling their coin to "minimize losses".One method to avoid dumping is to lock the presale tokens and release them gradually in phased manner

I think it is best that the project reward their bounty participants with either eth or btc. Also, investor discounts should also be minimize to prevent short term profiting of early investors who wants to get out as soon as the tokens are available in the exchanges.

I think they can't control prices in the market, all they have to do is launch their product so that their coins / tokens have a value

It only depends on your own strategy when you lose the price of altcoins because you need to sell your coins once the price drops because they are down here when you lose until your money is lost.

Preventing dumping is actually very easy, that is, the project party should not give up first, and many projects fail because this is a scam.

The developers can limit the number of tokens to be withdrawn by the bounty hunters and even investors. After distribution, developers can limit them to withdraw only 50% of the tokens. And later allow them to withdraw all of them. I saw this with crypt assist which I wasn't rewarded any stakes though ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) .

I don"t think that dumping of the token by most of bounty is really the cause of the price crash since this is one way of introducing their coin , and the total coins allocated for bounty is very small and cannot affect the entire price of the particular coined .

If you think the price of that altcoin/ICO is really higher than the price that other person is selling, why don't you buy it? If so, you will have a big profit, isn't it? Today , the price of gold is 1,203 USD/ounce, if someone sold gold as 1,000 USD/ounce, I will buy all of them. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
