Whitepapers are usually long and super boring, and really might be tiring to read. I think and I believe that a lot of people do not actually read these things, not even investors. Maybe a few lines, but they are done once they get an insight on what it is about. Besides, whitepapers may just be as deceiving as it may these days, cos most of the scams projects have even more convincing whitepapers.
Yup, long and super boring are the right description for that whitepaper. Honestly i am just relying more on the campaign managers to know whether it is a scam or not and they should know first because they are already veterans here in crypto. Whitepapers maybe deceiving to some as scammers will try to copy paste everything from a good project and make it their own.

I've rarely read the whitepaper. to participate in the bounty campaign, I just waiting and rely upon for an update from bounty managers which I fully trust to he/her.

I believe for being better bounty hunter we need so knowledge about the project for that reading whitepaper is good habit. If you are participating with article campaign or any other media camping reading white paper helps you. really reading whitepaper is help you to select best projects.

If you want to be real in bounty hunting you must chose good ICO. You can only do that through white paper of the project. I agree that going through the white paper can be gruesome and tedious but there is no shorter way.

Bounty campaign is apart of my job so i dont have times to read whitepaper. Also iam too busy in trading activity, to know the fundamental of the project usually i spend only 5 minutes by watching the video explanation of the project.

I more often than not read whitepapers before I make a venture. Perusing the whitepaper can help an abundance seeker abstain from being defrauded, however it is no an assurance; undertakings can flop in advertisment and drawing in financial specialists, regardless of it's a decent venture.

Reading the WP is a must if investing in ICO to get clue what the project is about. For Bounty selection it is enough to read the One Pager to save some time.

Sometimes when a project seems questionable to me, I read the white book of the project. But most of the time, h rely on your gut and it does not fail me.
July 18, 2018, 01:33:27 PM
Now i see on project ratings in the special websites. Also i see on teem and advisors and hardly ever read whitepaper

Now, some investors barely read the shit out of the whitepaper of theses ICOs, what they do is invest in some hype or overhyped ICOs. Even tho some whitepapers are trash, I bet you can still find something useful in them.

If to be honest, I don't always read the ICO Whitepaper, but sometimes I look for the information, that I need and read all the details. if I see that the project is very strong, sometimes I don't learn Whitepaper.
July 18, 2018, 01:14:56 PM
as a bounty hunter, not just the whitepaper I read, but I studied carefully and looked at the details of their project concept so that the work I did was worth it

Reading the whitepaper is a must before entering serious bounty campaign which requires a lot of work. It is actually one of the last steps I do when selecting a project. Firstly I filter the projects with the help of pages like icobench and some friends. Then when I am left with only few projects I dive into them deeply and read the whitepaper. Maybe not whole but more than 50% for sure. You can skip over some parts usually.

Honestly whitepaper is very important in all projects so reading the white paper is a step forward.
But nowadays most bounty hunters don't read the white paper any more
They just participate in the project without reading the white paper.

Whitepaper is most important things for any project. I always read whitepaper, team members links, their roadmap etc. It is powerful way to find out. Recently, i reading scidex whitepaper is such a great project.
July 18, 2018, 12:56:24 PM
I think all those campaigns are concieved to raise a community however those in few cases achieve the desired outcome.
July 18, 2018, 03:58:23 AM
I really do not have time to read the whitepaper as it takes a lot of time. With bounty campaigns I just look at the people who are handling the campaign to know if they have been associated with scam bounties before. Then I guess I take some time to look at their website and also look online to see their rating and what people are saying about the project in general

First of all let me ask if What is a Whitepaper? The answer according to Howtotoken.com:
By the power of example, you know what it is. A written document to better understand the technical project behind an ICO. But the whitepaper isn’t restricted to ICOs or crypto-space. A whitepaper is a document long used in business.
According to Wikipedia:
“A white paper is an authoritative report or guide that informs readers concisely about a complex issue and presents the issuing body’s philosophy on the matter. It is meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision.”
Which describes its use the best. It “helps readers understand”, is an informational document meant to deliver you the best information without the PR and marketing filter of the promotional content we get to find on websites, flyers, or advertisement
Lets go back to the question, Do you still have time to read the whitepaper before entering into a bounty campaign of certain ICO? I am very curious why a lot of bounty hunters regrets that they did their best to promote a project thru social media campaign and end up being scam.
Is reading the Whitepaper helps a bounty hunter avoid being scam by scam projects?
Do you really read the Whitepaper or just relying on referral of other bounty hunters?
Ofcourse you need to read the whitepaper before joining in bounties the first reason is to know the idea of that project if that is different from the already existing project then it will have more worth but many projects were just copy of other so it is not worth and the chance of scam as well.But to be honest most of the bounty hunters don't know about anything they will just join in the bounties and start promoting.By the power of example, you know what it is. A written document to better understand the technical project behind an ICO. But the whitepaper isn’t restricted to ICOs or crypto-space. A whitepaper is a document long used in business.

Besides you've got an idea of what kind of project are you going to join, you can also get other information in the whitepaper and the rules in that ICO. It's also gives an idea who's back up that project are they really capable or they have the credibility to continue and finish certain projects. That's what important is whitepaper.

IMO, reading the whitepaper does not always help the Hunter avoid being scammed by scam projects. Scam projects are probably the once with a well constructed and decent whitepapers out there. But, YES! I read whitepapers of ICOs before I invest my time in them, I don't rely on my referees intuitions because we all have different ways understanding things especially how technical the whitepaper is. I read, make my own researches and follow my instincts on whether to invest my time in that bounty.
