Right!
An ICO has the ability to succeed in showing that their community works very well on FB, TW, Telegram, conferences, meetings ...
I agree!
Topic: Most secured way to avoid scam ICO bounty (Read 464 times)
yeah that is correct and I feel I was wrong by joining to some campaigns before that they didn't have a good bounty manager and responded too later for travel or any other kind of excuse , Fast responding is very important .
Being responsive doesn't mean they won't scam you,if you know about C project the biggest scam bounty of 2017.the manager is very responsive and added relies to each and every positive and negative comment but at the end it was just a scam attempt.Manager also hired to do the management activities so they also may not aware of scammers since they are also working for money.

I don't believe going an ICOs with a lot of activities on their social page and have reached their soft cap are the best way to avoid scam ICO bounties. But, the way to join a genuine ICO bounties is joining an ICOs that belong to someone who is already in the business or similar for a long run.
Yes, you are right we need to check the company twice about their progress towards the ICO, if they have a working product in the offline business then it is going to be a very good deal in order work for that campaign. So you are right we need to check these before working for any bounty campaign.
The only problem is that all ico/bouny can fake it . they can pretend to be someone that already has the factor to look like a legit one but they were actually have an evil plan and that is to scam us . they will scam their investors and bounty hunters that is working for them .
The only best way to avoid them is that avoid joining on an ico/bounty campaign . there are still better alternatives that is more legit like signature campaign that is paying in btc/eth per week . though you still have to check if the manager is reputable and if the funds are escrow or not .
One more thing that I think is important, long-standing companies and teams that work well in their fields.

You just have to act as if you are an investor - you are not investing your money but time. Take your time to assess the project, team, WP - you usually have plenty of time to register for bounty so there is no need to hurry and hop into the first one that appears on BTT.
The way to avoid scam ICO bounty for me is to look for a good team. They will try to make successful project.
Its not easy to determine whether the team is real or fake that is why in addition of this information I suggest to avoid ICOs with a gorgeous team because mostly scammers use identity of gorgeous women to attract more investors, its a possible sign of scammers according to some article that I read before.
In fact, there are no specific criteria that come with experience and later you will understand it, and many analyze the technical document and many other aspects of the project, but this is not a guarantee of the project’s success.
To remind you: not all ICOs that has an active and plenty of activity are all legit. Some of them understands that part that they need to do it so their deceitful tactic will work for those investors that has this type of standard.
There are plenty of measurements that each individual would have to secure to avoid all of those scam bounties and projects.

I think it is on the team if they like to scam us, they will no matter if they were a legitimate team and an active group. The best way to have something from them is to verify each team member so that somehow, someone will have a something that they can find if the team starts to us.
The perfect answer for this thread can be found here : Guidelines, how to spot a scam ICO & report effectively which contain all the details and guidelines about how the scam ICO will be and in that case it also will be helpful for idetify scam bounty as well,don't get attracted by lot of activities it also can be bought.
Nice information, I really enjoyed your write up, I think it's also better to snub some ico rating sites as they are being paid by this scam ico to promote them, there by taking the money of investors away
A real ICO cannot be judged by many social media activities or listed on many ICO ratings is important because we must be careful in assessing it like a team and where the project is run, whether the project will be a project that is accepted by the Community. The ICO is not just a place to raise funds with a good idea, then the developer leaves it, if we are not sure about the ICO project, leaving it will leave us at risk. 
I don't believe going an ICOs with a lot of activities on their social page and have reached their soft cap are the best way to avoid scam ICO bounties. But, the way to join a genuine ICO bounties is joining an ICOs that belong to someone who is already in the business or similar for a long run.
In this way, they will be fear to do scammy things since it will damage their reputation. I also prefer companies with working or established company and product to secure that I'm promoting a good one.

I think that every bounty hunter should learn how to find good bounty activities from the white paper. I think this is the most important step!
1. Choose an ICO with a lot of activity - You can see it on their facebook page or twitter. Look if the company joins a lot of conference and things that can promote their coin.
I can't say it can be a good point because there's some that doing these and those but ends up a scam because money has already blinded them.
2. Choose an ICO with an admin that responds quickly - We all have some specific questions and corrections that
needs to be made and an admin that responds quickly for every question is a plus.

What if they have this plan already? "Ok, let's make our project looks like a legit one so be very patiently in answering their questions, don't make them suspicious." How was that?
3. Look for the one that reached their soft cap - If an ICO reached its soft cap then its a high chance that it will be successful.
It's true and upon reaching their softcap they'll be entirely keep going. However, did you heard about envion? They raised almost $100M and guess what they disappear in the wind. Such a total crap.
We can conclude that no matter what the metrics, if people really have motives to scam then they will, even at all costs.
I agree with your opinion, bro, done by the envion party who is not responsible for the bounty campaign. I took part in a campaign program that was not paid, if I think now to research ico or bounty that will be successful lies in the team that is always active.
Hi guys, most people are saying that you need to read the whitepaper to see if the ICO is good or not but some of them even with a nice plan on their whitepaper do not succeed. All of us has their own technique to determine a good ICO bounty and I am sharing mine, feel free to share yours too.

I think you are looking not for a ICO that isn't a scam but you're giving the points for a "successful" ICO. Points 1 and 3 especially, are all about activity and price action and fundraising amounts. Remember, even scam ICOs have raised millions of dollars, so really, these aren't factors to distinguish them at all. Even a quick responding admin only means that they have either hired managers to respond to community questions OR it means admins aren't busy developing products.
I would actually be suspicious if devs weren't developing!

There is no other way than serious research about that project you are going to invest and most of the scam ICOs can be exposed by our research by means of fake profiles or fake credits which was not actually made by that project and plagiarized content on the whitepaper and even their website design can tell us about their legitimacy.And your points are now exhausted the scammers are getting smarter so you need to improve yourself from differentiating the scammers. 1.

I agree that one of the soft cap indicators is important to know the interest of investors and the public towards the ICO, but I will try to find out more about what exchanges they will enter later? because no matter how good the ICO is and the sale of tokens if they fail to enter the exchange, they will dissolve and have no value

All items listed by the author of the topic are certainly important, but they do not give a 100% guarantee of protection from the scam. Even with an honest team, the project can not raise money for ICO .
Bounty managers are not responsible for the payment actually. If you want to participate in any signature campaign or any form of bounty you will be able to go and check the project with the given link. So verify it before you get into the project as a participant.
Then bounty managers keep the disclaimer the under thread like they are not responsible the payment and all.

but I prefer your number one and two because I often use it in searching for bounties and ICOs, but sometimes there are successes and some fail with insufficient softcap, but your posts are really good and good for beginners like me.

find good bounty just as investors look for promising ico. very difficult to do, because all the criteria that you say can be made or manipulated by the developer and all do not guarantee that all will pay or succeed. I only suggest that if you have been paid bounty, then immediately switch the token to btc, because we don't know what will happen later.
sounds like coping
do you remember Centra? I lost lots of money because of its scam, but they had very active team, they respond every message quickly and they even were promoted by some famous people

Choose an ICO with a lot of activity.
Well, I actually use this one too. I don't want to follow a project that post nothing and nothing while the project itself is running.Please provide more information and tips.
For op's question those advices or keypoints are good to be done but it isn't really he most secured way and those things aren't too simple to be done by an investor or even bounty hunters.
You wont even know that even inactive ICO can succeed and active ones would failed down.

Those points you were mentioned will not help you to find the scam and legit bounties even if the admins were very responsive most of the time it went scam so it also not good point to find the legitimacy when it comes to the activities of their social media account it also their strategy to attract more investors and take all their money if it was scam and finally the soft cap reached project maybe get successful but even the projects which reached millions in a day went scam in the history. 1.

Communication is entirely important for an ICO.
But it doesn't mean that just because they are responsive, they are legit.
There are some ICO scams that are also responsive but they reply quick to make them look legit.
