Nice work typing this all up. Its a jungle out there.
You might want to include the % of tokens up for ICO vs total supply as something to analyze (maybe add to the hardcap part). Some ICOs go very far in obfuscating what part of the pie you are actually getting. An ICO with a 15 million USD hard cap might look nice until you find out only 5% of total supply is going towards the ICO and 95% to management. So look at hard cap, total supply and % of tokens up for ICO. Also look at what will happen to the remainder of the tokens.

Very true remark. This is really worth paying attention to and I will add this item to the next version of my list.
I've been thinking. A person may be the choice of the ICO to buy tokens or to participate in the bounty company. The criteria can vary greatly. Many of the principles are universal, but I think that article is written just for buyers tokens. If a person wants to purchase a token,he doesn't need to think about it. Can you write a short article with tips for bounty hunters? I think you have something to say about it.
Unfortunately people are ready to spend their efforts anywhere but they do concern about their money alone with more care. We can analyze any ICO for taking participating into bounty campaigns by using OP's methodologies. Always double check any new project before you investing or supporting them. That will help you for avoiding scammy and less potential projects.
