Just wondering if this is something everyone does, and what questions you need answered before you are comfortable participating (and actively promoting) an ICO?
Of course, we should make our own research and investigation before participating for different ICO. We already know that there are bunch of ICO out there but we can’t determine whether it’s another realistic project but in the end it’s a scam or legit. Getting important information about the project and analyze the people behind the project will help to determine if it’s true. I always joined some discussion in telegram to make sure that the team behind the project gives us updates about the project and the flow of the bounty campaign.

Of course, we will study this company. If this company is a fraud project, we won't be paid for participating in the bounty program. Signing a project for an ico project for more than a month is not worth the cost.

I make a lists first and foremost of companies that I would like to participate in a bounty. The list is based on my interests because I cannot join a bounty if I don't have a bit of knowledge of the project that they have. I do make a research on each companies and the company that meet my interest is the one I choose to join.

Before doing anything, I always read, research and analyze. A good bounty program is a good project, which in the future will bring a lot of benefits to people, investors and those who participated in the development and promotion.

Of course we should do research first before investing in ico. because there are still some scam ico projects and can cause us to lose our money. So do some research first before participating in ico.

Of course, you need to answer some questions first. Mainly, questions about roadmap and whitepaper - are they clear and realistic? Also you need to take a look at the team behind project.
November 26, 2017, 05:18:28 AM
Yes, I also know what kind of project the company is doing, so that I can make sure that I can make a great return on this reward!
You can't easily spot the fake or not ICOs by reading their white papers and knowing their project intentions but what makes them more legitimate of they're spending more funds on social media advertisements and other paid sites in order to display their ICO

ICOs that has good reputations are mostly hiring experienced bounty managers in order to take care of their ICOs. Before In hit the signup form I have to be sure that the bounty manager has been managed previous ICOs si that's one of the best indicator that an ICO is a good one and has big chance to receive good stakes and value.

It's not easy to make a research on every bounty. It's even more difficult to research if a company is failing or not. I mainly research a few team members and try to understand the concept of the project.
The rest I live to luck

Indeed, getting information about a company is very technically difficult especially if they are new in the business you knew then in personal but today new ICOs have a good strategies, website designs and other things that's too good to be true that's why some of us were victims of these scam ICOs.

I don't make a big research, but used to go through the experience it has got with the specific project they focus upon. Apart from that used to analyze team that leads the network, if I find them successful will just enroll myself to the bounty program. Here too predictions go wrong ending up providing mere profits.

This time Yes, early this year when I started participating ICOs I found out that some of them didn't hit crypto currency exchange until now so that's why I only participate signature bounty campaigns with higher ranked bounty managersb to avoid the same mistake like before.
November 26, 2017, 04:53:48 AM
Of course.We have to research the company and also look at who is background on it, what is in the whitepaper and the roadmap because many of ICOs are scam. We must run away of them.There is only one way to run away from scam that research and read.
November 26, 2017, 04:44:55 AM
I always do researching before I participate in some ICOs because I hate scammers. But what can we do if that project was manage by professional scammers? It can happen to anyone and at some point, collecting some funds to those who don't know anything about scam icos. So guys beware.

Surely you do not want to incur any losses in any investment of a project managed in collaboration with the ICO. I think this is very reasonable why we should first look for an in-depth about ICO that is developing a project because I think not a few investors are careless in investing in a project that in the end they did not produce anything at all. before you start an investment activity on a project that is being developed by the ICO I strongly recommend that you first look for a fairly accurate information from a reliable source on which ICO is feasible and in the end there is no scam, I have experienced where when I follow a project developed by the ICO but in the end the project is just a scam and this became a form of lessons for me so I do not make mistakes for the second time that can cause harm.

Yes of course we search about the company and it's project, it is your one and only asset to knoew if that bounty is worth any of your time. Especially now there are a lot of ICO's that are scams or their project did'nt workout well lossing all of their funds so make sure you know what you're doing before you participate in a bounty.
November 26, 2017, 02:55:29 AM
Yes we all need to do serious research before investing to anything here in cryptoworld or else you'll get rekt.

Most definitely, I think you should always conduct your own due diligence if you're going to go to the effort of promoting something..
Even then, you still can't be certain that a particular project won't end up falling through..
The first question I ask myself is: Is this something I want to promote? Is this something I'd be happy to put my friends and family on to?
I only promote projects I genuinely believe in, but that's just a personal thing..
I then look at things like:
Who are the devs?
Does the project have a properly qualified team?
Whitepaper, Roadmap, clear purpose?
Community?
Social Engagement?
It also gives me more confidence when I see the Bounties are managed by reputable Bitcointalk members or that the devs are active and transparent.
On the other hand, some people don't care and are happy to Tweet/Facebook/promote whatever, as long they get their free tokens at the end..
You just need to work out where you want to fit in and what works for you.
Good luck!
