Topic: ICOs bounties suck...do not believe them - page 8. (Read 1872 times)
My thought is that ICO bounties did not force anyone to join, you join freely at your own willing, after reading their rules, So since you join freely which ever out come you see, you should take it in a good faith, there is a VIP campaign maybe you should join that because it pays well.
Well, firstly - if you are so scrupulous - there are projects that pay in the ethereum for the work. Secondly, no one forces you to participate in bounty companies. This is my personal opinion, without insults and claims
Mate, I understand your frustration,because not all ICOs list on exchange andworth the same amount as it used to be during tokensale, BUT ...come on, bounty is launched by team which don't want to waste money in ETH, they want to make community around project and without giving out tokens it impossible
It simple dude, if you not wanna paid in token you promote, simply dont do that, almost all icos is selling an idea, they have limited money to spend, thats why they do an ico 
The freedom is yours to choose from different kinds of bounties and their respective rewards, I don't know why you always come across with some projects that pay a low amount of tokens, I saw some ICO offers a high amount of bounty pools to its content creation participants and their projects ended up successful from paying to releasing to an exchange you should only worry about the content quality and audience other than that you need to filter all those bounties to join a legitimate one.
Everyone decides for himself whether he should take part in the bounty companies or not. Bounty hunters are getting bigger, so the rules are also starting to get complicated. Project managers just see that they can do almost free company and people will still go to them.
you can always choose which bounty to join and they are no mandatory to join. if you don't want to be paid in this "useless token" then don't join them. bounties are good because we don't have to invest to earn money.
Indeed, there are bounties that suck. But not all bounties are not good. There are still some good bounties that are introduce in the market. And i joined some good bounties. And i got huge profit in the end.
I believe in market forces, if something works, people will continue doing it, if it doesn't they ultimately won't. That's how it is in every new space.
Why would I as a company give random bounty hunters 'real' money? Instead, I'll pay them in tokens, that way they really have an incentive to make the project work. else they have zero value. There needs to be a good mix though, a good campaign is only as good as the tools it utilizes. If the marketing material is crappy, you can have a legion of twitter and facebook bounty hunters and it won't work. If you have professional material (paid for with e.g. fiat) but lack the means of deploying it, then it's also bad for your project.
Yes, I agree with you, but since I don't have a twitter or facebook account, I generally only participant in signature campaign.Why would I as a company give random bounty hunters 'real' money?

And I think it's fair to pay the token of project's as a reward.
I really like your opinion. I also do not have a Twitter or Facebook account, instead, I often follow or join in a signature campaign. Because they are really a good campaign and there are lots of prizes that we have to get. So I do not regret participating in it.
I agree with what you wrote above.
there were so many ICOs that gave me a good profit, and that made me addicted to the ICO project, but now there are many scams!
either their project fails or they just take advantage for personal, then run away with some money from investors. this is not good because if left too long will result in the loss of investors to the ICO project.

The part what I like the OP is the suggestion that he is making to pay the bounty hunters with usable money like ETH, USD or EURO etc. I have some experiences about receiving useless tokens for long bounty campaigns. One time I received tokens that is worth just $7 for a campaign that ran for 12 weeks 
According to me, being a bounty hunter and keeping projects through social media campaigns and signature campaigns is the easiest way to join even if ICO project rewards have been determined, but this is the way it really deserves to get a token.
Maybe you just participated in a bad bounty campaign you don't have to generalize every single bounty campaign out there. Yes with the number of bounty campaigns increasing everyday there will always be bad ones out there. It is jist a matter of how well you do your research first before participating in to one.
I run a media company, and deal with a lot of ICOs. What I noticed was that all these ICOs want top-notch articles & videos about them but they insist on paying in their token or want it for free. They think they are doing a service by giving bounties. What they don't realize is that their token is useless most of the time. Most of the bounties done by ICOs are bad.
Like:
1) Write 500-1000 words article on us for 300 of my useless tokens (which won't be coming on an exchange and will be used only on our platfrom. And you won't get free service but 25% discount )
2) Or make a 5 min video for us and post it on your YouTube. You need to have 5000+ subscribers and praise us to get our useless tokens.
I am not making fun of any ICO, just pointing a fact out on how these tokens are just polluting the market.
If you are an ICO or running an ICO, please pay the right price in a currency that works (Eth, BTC, Euro etc). Your tokens are useless for agencies. They take out their time and resources to make a good campaign for you.
Secondly, if your ICO does not have money..it should be red flagged for a potential scam.
What are your thoughts? Are bounties good or bad?
I think you missed something so important. What was it? It is your right to choose good or bad projects. I mean making your own due diligence in choosing the right ICO project won't make you cry if it failed or succeed and we all know that bounties are sometimes risky because we end up like unpaid or scammed if something went wrong with it but is also profitable if successful. There is noreason to blame them beacuse it is all the matter of luck being here in this crypto so better luck next time for your bounty hunting. Like:

Nope, it's best.
Give us (bounty hunter) a lot of profits without spending capital.
The most important thing is how you choose what bounty you want to join
Signature bounty isn't a joke...believe me you can get a big profits from signature bounties if the entire bounty program isn't scam
This is freelancing work. No one forces you to help them promote the project by participating in the gift. Not all bounty is bad and if you do not like not sharing easy, but if you want to get a nice gift for your work just check the information in advance for the project in which you participate
Some information that i have rathered here in bitcoin forum saying that most of the ICO are scam. But some of them says that when you find a best ICO it will be a jackpot.
Previously, when the market rate was low, most ICOs had very low pay rates due to low exchange rates. There are ICOs I participated in from the beginning, working over 2 months but only received rewards under 300 dollars. But at the Q4 2018, when the exchange rate of BTC increased high, the ICOs projects will be very potential.
You made some good points, I have some tokens that I still don't know what to do with them. It will best if most ICOs pay bounties in one of the major currencies but on the other hand getting paid in the ICO token makes room for further growth of the ICO is really a promising gone.
