If you think they are a waste of time and energy - then quit.

Some people make lots of money participating in bounty campaigns.

Just look at MobileGO for example, lots of users made huge bank.

Not need ICO large as MobileGo, let's see Bitquence in last week, I'm a member from this bounty signature campaign, and the reward for me if I still keep my coin is 0.5 BTC for 3 weeks joined + 2 weeks wait payment + 1 weeks wait the price of this token pump to highest price

Lately, the vast majority of the ICO bounty campaign sucks and not worth your time to promote them.

What I found are the following from my own experience:

Poor managed campaign without transparent communication and delay.
Many will not even reach the minimum payout, and you will receive nothing for your effort.
They accept too many people and when they count the stakes, you receive a little reward not worth the time.
Too many bugs and slow access to bounty websites.

Some solutions should standardize the process of marketing the ICO.

Pay bounty participants in ETH or BTC even if the project fails with money protected before the bounty.
All bounty campaign should migrate to web based solutions to simplify the stakes distribution.
Limit the people on each campaign to give a good value of your time and energy.

My advice: Think twice before promoting an ICO, we are human and your valuable time should be spent on something worth it for the effort.

Thanks for advice and citations. I will use it as reference so that i can find a better campaign in the future. But for now, i will stick with my current campaign and do my best to make it successful so that i can receive the appriopiate amount for my work in promoting them. If this campaign become what you've stated above, then i will just try my luck to find a better campaign, by using your ideas as references

I agree with the OP here but it still depends on the campaign manager handling the campaign too most particularly the number of participants should be limited. Hopefully they would work out on a fair and equal solution so the campaign will be promoted and treated as a real job for some and maybe, just maybe spamming would be minimized as well.

Unfortunately, that's so true I find your solutions fair in our right but difficult for the ICO bounty campaign ، I hope that they will found a fair solutions for both parties

I think this is not a solution, you are just showing selfishness, and I see a helplessness here, the helplessness of a guy who did not choose the money campaign. Good reward to join. You are trying to ignore your failure, before joining any bonus campaign, you need to be a smart person. You are just angry at your stupidity.

I think he is just butthurt because maybe he joined some failed ICO bounties where the result was not as what he expected. Joining in ICO promotion bounties is like a sports betting imo where we should do some research, analysis, etc to predict whether the ICO will success or not.

Participate in Bounty campaigns like gambling. It depends on how smart you analyze a project, although the end result remains unpredictable. But, by participating in the Bounty campaign we open up the chance to win.

So.. the smarter you are in analyzing a project. The greater your chances of winning.
It goes back to of their respective assessment. Whether participating in Bounty is worth it or not.

This is what im doing now which i do really learned up on the past when i did experience on have been paid out on small amounts on promoting them for almost 2 months which do really suck. Yes its like gambling if you dont know how to spot or see a potential ICO/ project because there already lots of projects in the market as of now and sees almost everyday they do launched which really makes the choosing would really be hard.

I participated in Indorse now. They are very well organized.

Any ground floor thoughts on what made them so organized? The web portal and constant communication seem vital these days.

Hello World!

Well we seem to be in a world of scams. It's amazing that you can create what is clearly and obviously a pyramid scheme, sell it to idiots as a new altcoin and get away scott free. I think this will go on for a very long time since most police have no clue how cryptocurrency works.

There is multiple ICO's popping up daily so you really need to do your research and pick and choose. Not blindly do any that offer bounties.

We are launching an ICO at www.justmake.org and are planning our bounty program as we speak. Please send us an email at [email protected] and we will invite you to our slack channel, telegram, or you can call me directly for a bounty discussion in order to deal with the frustrations of everyone. We want to launch the best bounty program and I will give you my direct contact so everyone can verify all information being presented. We are trying to set ourselves apart and build something lasting to increase the longterm use and viability of the Justmake ERC20 Token. Thanks for taking the time!

Too many bounties being held nowadays and most of them will be worthless. Paying a half in btc and the other half in token will be good from participants point of view. So, if the project failed, participant still have something from their 'hard work'. And if the project gain a massive success, participants have a chance to be millionaire. Grin

What shall we take into account while choosing ICO? Because a number of us make money investing ICO or taking part in bounty campaign. In any case you may lose your money. But you can choose what to spend: your time or money?
So, how to find out reliable ICO? I know that some people look at team members. If they are known and popular, they invest. But those who are newbie in cryptocurrency can't identify them.

I'd recommend researching the organization you are thinking about promoting before promoting them. Always make sure the campaign you are promoting meets your own standards. I joined my first bounty program after researching the founders and I saw good things. Of course, if there is a questionable person managing the campaign, then it might not matter how solid the organization is.

I agree though that tokens should be set aside beforehand for bounties to make sure people are properly paid.

Absolutely agree. I've had negative to mediocre experiences with EVERY bounty campaign I've tried to work on, with the mild exception of my current sig, although the Zen campaign is from a semi-established project AND the rewards are relatively small.

Granted this is the first sig I've had for a project is followed beforehand and actually have good expectations for it.

I think the key point that bounties be paid proactively (weekly, monthly, etc...) Instead of a one time like sun in the"future" AND that they be paid via an existing currency (BTC/ETH being the obvious choices) would likely all but eliminate the scamming/lack of follow through many projects have been plagued with.

Most of the ICO bounties that are failing I see as a side effect of what are actually very shallow and destined to fail projects that are just leeching money from the community for projects they KNOW they can't or won't deliver.
