Topic: Consider these 12 things before joining a bounty program - page 2. (Read 313 times)

I know that this is not often done in the bounty section, more in the campaign that pays with Bitcoin which is use escrow to save rewards, this should also be done in the bounty campaign for at least 1-2 weeks so that what has been done is not in vain, once again this is a bit difficult but bounty hunters should consider about this too.

I agree with all those notes you have added to each point.
It is difficult to see results in the first week, maybe 1 month need to be spent just to test the team and figure out if all keeps going fair. But normally they pay at the end of ICO, it is better to think twice before wasting time with them.

It is better to be very picky with all of those bounties.

This applies to investors too, not only bounty hunters. I doubt many of them will read this guide though.
As pointed above, most projects will do their best to make you believe they are genuine and never doubt they might be scammers.

Agree to @jeromeTash.

Back those days that I'm still joining bounties. You can't easily check if the campaign is legit since the payment is after several months. So most of the effort spent on altcoin campaigns is getting into waste. It's hard to tell in the first week of the campaign 'cause if it's a scam, they will probably hide their malicious intent until the end of ICO/IEO where they earn investments.

So if you're bounty hunter, more effort and time are gonna be a waste but if you get a jackpot, it's huge money.

They are usually responsive when they are trying to raise fund.

And don't be deceived with fake followers especially in Facebook and Telegram.

Bounty rewards are usually distributed after end of the campaign.

And note that sometimes, they lie about KYC.
As it is said in all of bounties, they have the right to change the rules at any time.

-Don't trust ICOs rating websites.
-Don't be deceived with big price of tokens in ICO. You cannot sell your tokens at those prices.
-Note that they may decrease number of tokens allocated to bounty.  

Most bounties as i know don't even pay weekly. They pay bounty hunters their worthless tokens several months after the end of ICO/IEO which is kind of unfair but bounty hunters also cause such situations to exist. They are so many bounty hunters out their who are desperate to do anything to even just earn those worthless tokens

Before participating in a crypto bounty project, here are some things you need to check in order to save time and problems later with the project.

1. A very basic and important thing to check first is that they have reliable staff willing to answer questions the same day or at least the next day.
2. Check if the project will solve something not covered by other projects already.
3. Verify if their staff is online showing their profiles with plenty of their info & they are active at Github.
4. Check the number of followers on Twitter and other social networks.
5. See if they have a practical way to count/reward your support where you can see right away your earn, or at least they count properly the same day or week.
6. Test them to see how good they are managing the community's feedbacks & communication.
7. Test them the first week, to see if they reward what they promised.
8. Ask all-important questions about legal stuff like KYC, countries allowed, etc.
9. Check that they have professional written ANN or bounty program, if they have a lot of mistakes, quit soon.
10. Evaluate how committed they are with the project.
11. Check that they have a professional and original written white paper.
12. Choose them if the project resonates with your passion.

I can add later more if they are important. Or you can suggest new ones.
