We have the free well to stop promoting projects if we feel that were just being exploited, boycotting ICO is not the answer and you need a large group of people to support your cause on the other hand you can with yourself and stop promoting them.
Topic: Should we boycott ICO's ? - page 2. (Read 443 times)
Most of us have been through this sad phase of life wherein we have wasted our precious time spanning to months on scam projects wherein the either the project turns out to be a scam or else the developers refrain from distributing the tokens to the bounty hunters for first few months after launch and by the time we receive it the value of token is negligible. Should bounty hunters boycott the ICO's and look for alternatives?
Right now the best alternative is Crypto talk forum but you can only get paid 30 posts, and gambling sites promotion but you need a good ranking to participate, I hope we have a good alternatives, because these ICO's is now a never-ending cycle of scamming, the scam section is full of scam report, they never get tired of trying to scam people, because we are vulnerable, because of lack of regulation.
Gone are the days that where investors can trust ICO. Those days ICO was a think and I have experienced investing in many of them before. But sad to say right now it has been a venue of many scammers to deceive people of their money. They are killing the industry that used to give lots of opportunities to many.

I have never in my life bought a cryptocurrency at the ICO stage. Because rarely has an ICO project gone above the ICO price when it came on the market. Apart from that, almost all of the projects have a minus ROI ratio. So I find it quite wrong to invest in a project at the ICO stage.
There are only exchanges IEOs that can do that. I haven't really followed the others, but the ROI ratio of Binance IEOs looks pretty good. We've even seen some projects make x10 and more

Yes but only garbage ICOs, bounty hunters should be extra cautious on choosing bounty, most of them just go with whatever they see on the first page. Don't get lured by that '$1M in Bounty' or whatever, that is to mislead you. Check project's team profile, previous works, community, what problems project is trying to tackle, etc.
At this time have you found a new project that is not a scam? I do not think so. because most projects that exist today are full of manipulation so that their investors can all be deceived by new ways by the dev. there is no longer a big hope for an ico moment to be able to bounce back 
Promoting ICO Projects or investing in ICO Projects won't give you any result other than loss, presently developers should be smarter to know that ICO is no longer on investors mind, instead IEO have win some over, generally almost all investors have lose interest in ICO
You can complain all day but as a bounty hunter nothing much you can do aside from staying away and stop promoting them. If you have a bad experience on your previous campaigns then I suggest you take it as a lesson and move-on because there are still a lot of campaigns out there that offering good rewards.
This only one reason isn't accepted. You should provide some other reasons for leaving ICOs right now. Thank you!

Well in that case bounty hunters has nothing to do about it! At first before we join in any ICO and IEO bounties "Terms and Condition" applied including some of the worst condition that it can change the Terms that "written" including the "Rules" anytime they want, So if we agree with that since the very begginning of the campaign Then we have no reason to confront them. Thats because in the very beginning the "Terms and Condition" applied was very disadvantegous to us, So why we still join. that makes it our own fault, thats why for me Boycotting the ICO and IEO is not needed since its our own fault and we are not force to join in any campaign. its our decision ,to lets accept it if we need those campaign. But it was limited to those legitimate ICO's and IEO for those shady ICO's and IEO its should be the right thing to do just Boycott. 
Doing something like this will only worsen the situation not solve the problem. If you do not want to get scammed again, do not participate in the ICO.
This is what boycott is also. Maybe because op used the word boycott and not stay away or don't participate in a project that you think is boycott.
Boycott ICO because you did not get the money from the bounty is a stupid reason,that is a different story if you are an Investor you have the right to do that.
Bounty hunters too have investment in ICO in form of time used to make posts, share etc. They also expect some good announcement and profit from the project because of their emotional attachment, commitment in other ways. So, they are also investing if not in cash.

do not beat all ICO flatly, you try to research / analyze about the project because the developers also do not want something like that maybe they are still stuck in their projects to delay a few months reward for bounty hunter, or you can try switching from bounty hunter to airdrop , because the aidrop task is easy and the payment is very fast than the bounty, that's just my advice.
Your advice is not bad, i used to think that i am the only one seeing this is a better path, airdrops pay faster than bounties and since i started bounties i haven't be able to make a simple 50$ out of bounties since 2018, i am surprised that i was able to make more than 200$ in airdrops Most of us have been through this sad phase of life wherein we have wasted our precious time spanning to months on scam projects wherein the either the project turns out to be a scam or else the developers refrain from distributing the tokens to the bounty hunters for first few months after launch and by the time we receive it the value of token is negligible.

Of course, what you are experiencing, like all of us, for participants in the bounty companies, is the result of the poor work of the project administrators who conduct ICOs and even some IEOs. But that means looking for a replacement? Personally, at the moment I do not see a worthy replacement, of course, if there are any, I ask you to write about them. I believe that the maximum that we can do is simply help identify fraudsters and tell the community about them, as well as do a more thorough study of the project in order to get it out for participation.
Boycotting an ICO is a bad decision because there are still parts of the ICO that we can still count on, we can take action for ICO managers who often manage scam projects, and we report that they no longer deceive gift hunters who have often been victims.
What else can still be relied on from ICO? can you explain because up to now ico is already a lot of fraud going on here so it's better we boycott because there are a lot of harms and no one can be honest now,but it all depends on each person whether they want it or not

They should have boycotted these ICO long ago, they are creating a lot of ways to punish and deceive their bounty hunters like delaying their rewards, locking their token and asking to deposit in exchange for their token, from bad it becomes worse, we should stop patronizing ICO now and find better alternative or stop doing bounty totally.

we might see a lot of scams but not all of them are, by boycotting the ICO means we are lessening the chance for cryptocurrency to get adopted widely.
ICO is needed because it will help an initial project to go further.

What's the point? ICO and without us are gradually dying out. I think it will all end by itself soon. And here is find indeed fraudulent projects and to speak about them I think is worth.
