These bounty campaigns are nothing more than a cheap or otherwise free form of a currency if you promote it in the community. Look at most ANNs, 99% of coins only pay their own token, whoever enters simply does not know if they will win anything or if they will just waste their time.
But this is not a bad thing, bad and when a given currency allocates a very large revenue for these campaigns making after your end everyone who received the bonuses pour the currency in the market and make the price of it go on the ground. In short, the bounty campaign is a good move for a successful ICO, but there is a need to balance what is sold and what is free.

Personally i like Bounty campaigns, because they give good tokens for small work. You can have multiple Bounties at once, which is good for max profit.
On the one hand it is quite cheap and effective way of promotion. But on the other hand there are many bounty hunters who are chasing profit so they make reposts and posts about almost every single ICO. So this makes me think about quality of such campaign...
this is exactly why I was wondering... for me, if I see the same person promoting tones of ICO's, It will make me want to stay away from them.

Bounty campaigns are good and i am in for them. Who wouldn't like to get rewarded for doing only the promotion of the projects and chit chats. The main thing is you have to choose the right one .
thank you all for the reply! you've been helpful 
I think bounty campaigns make a huge difference int he success of an ico when done right. Also like that they involve the community as well
We've just started our bounty campaign earlier today and think they are very valuable. It's great to have enthusiasm from other members showing belief in your project and your aims.
We hope our campaign will lead to a very good ICO sale and hope to reward our Bounty campaigners with tokens which not only increase in value, but give them a share of the profits each and every quarter in Ethereum!!

First of all you got a point with your question; I think bounty campaigns are totally necessary in order to get attention for those altcoins however if I will participate in any I always read if it is a good project or scam. I won’t like to promote any scam.
Also, for people like me that we don’t have cash to invest bounties are the best way to participate and gain profits for your time.

Bounty campaigns are important because you are hitting the right target audience. If you advertise on mumsnet then you won't get much in return! The key really is having a good campaign manager which can in turn attract the right bounty hunters 
Fully support. bounty is advertising, and in fact not very costly. And the effect it gives is good.

Guys, what do you think about bounty campaigns? in or out? why?
I have an agenda, will reveal in the future after hearing your answers and whys
****After reading some comments- let me rephrase: I am not trying to decide whether I should join a campaign. I am interested in hearing what you all have to say about this process and its value to the ICO.
Do you think bounty campaign makes the difference between a successful and an unsuccessful ICOs?
Do you think maybe the fact that a lot of people just joining without really understanding and just promoting 5-6 ICO's at a time is actually bad for those ICO's, making them look unprofessional or "cheap"?

Yes it does matter to the ICO, there are tons of them so marketing them is difficult unless you have a lot of money to throw at it. It gives very good exposure. ICOs are often still invested in in a close community, most people don't even know what an ICO is. No I don't think it looks cheap at all, although you could safe some on choosing specific languages for translation in your bounty. I think Signatures and social media might be the most important part of marketing an ICO, bounty wise. What does look cheap is people spamming referral links. Signatures make me aware of ICOs that i'd else probably would not have noticed. Such as Universa.
But for illustration purposes check out some websites like icoalert.com and icobench.com and see how crowded it is with ICOs. If you want to meet your targets you will have to do some marketing.
I like em. You can promote a project you like and earn a little by doing it - why not
Well I don't have a job so for me the bounties are my life so without these I have no idea what we would have done or how we would have survived. So I am really grateful that these freelancing jobs exist for people like me at my age who can't secure a regular job or income. We rely solely on crypto earnings now in our family as neither my husband or myself have a regular job anymore. IF YOU ARE ALSO contributing real value to each project you are engaging in then it is great both for the ICO AND for the bounty hunter. I am only upset with two things re bounties. IF DEVELOPERS ARE SCAMMERS AND IF BOUNTY HUNTERS CHEAT and don't follow set instructions.
Good to see something really benefiting from it. I also joined few months ago recently joined few bounty, so far got paid from one, expecting few more payment from couple of bounty, then i can decide if it's worth or not

bounty campaigns are great... who wouldn't want to be rewarded for chatting on bitcointalk when most of us are already doing so? if you are not participating, it's just money that you are leaving on the table.
The hard part of bounty campaigns is finding the ones that are worth your while. There are a lot of junk ones out there.

I think signature campaigns are required, because there are too many ICOs going on at the same time, it is very difficult to get your name out there unless you have a signature campaign. And the more tenured members have greater signatures which look very professional as well, so I think signatures making your ICO look cheap shouldn't worry you.
Making the ICO look bad: definitely if you got quickposters running around discussing an ICO without understanding it. I stay away from these coins. I am guilty of this in early bounty hunting days so I try hard now to be mindful of the facts, embrace rationality, and do my homework about coins and coin tech. In the last campaign, I got a few posts by making word clouds for people out of their post history!
Side effect of bounty rewards: if ICO does not raise a lot of funds and gives out too many bounty rewards the coin price can tank due to dumping. Fortunately legit projects will see a correction but it still puts a hamper on early development if the ICO means to pay for development with tokens.

I take part in them, but only in case I trust a project and it's really good.
I think the bounty program is still an interesting agenda and the best way to market a project, it will also be a separate award to [any member in various countries available on their local thread, because they not only participate in bounty, but will also invest if they believe the project they support is interesting.
