what an interesting projects
do you have any bounties available for articles?

In fact, devs have not announced about bounties for articles, at least by now. If you interested and don't mind about payments, please make your article and publish it in steemit to support STRAKS project.

If he doesn't have a stake in the project yet then he is unlikely to put effort into it. Maybe the devs should really take a second to provide a little bounty plan, at least for people who want to produce content that benefits us all. Would like it.

In my mind there is two ways author can approach writing his articles. He could go about bounty's and write promotional articles. Ie. getting paid to write. These type of articles are almost always biased.

The other way is that author should write objective articles about projects he chooses and then in some way get paid from readers. Ie. get paid because quality of content. I am always trying to find these types of authors and if they are good I have no problem tipping them something. It is often the case that these types of authors get influential and after praising a project it immediately jumps 20-30% with the price. At this point author can make shitloads of money by investing before releasing the article. It could be seen as conflict of interests but there is no way anybody can know about this so I believe most of them is doing it in this way.

Might be true but only for very influential people. There are tons of articles but hardly any of them moved a project's price by 20-30% as you said. That counts for people with large followings only and even then 20-30% might only apply to small market cap projects. Giving out bounties to people who like the project and want to produce favorable content should be part of a good marketing strategy.
