First, I really appreciate your share. Thank you. But I have some ideas needing to add.
1. Choose the projects with the ended presale, estimate the result of it. Usually, presale nicely shows the future of the project and the work of the team. If everything is done perfectly, they get enough funds(sometimes project collect softcap at this stage), then the project will have more chances to stay alive after the ICO.
In my opinion, the best time for running bounty campaign is before pre-sale/private sale about 1 month and lasting to the end of pre-sale or ICO. So, there are some good projects which just run their bounty campaign to the end of pre-sale. So, we better try to research more to capture this opportunity. My experience is WEStoken, I earned almost $ 2k from this campaign and they just run bounty campaign for pre-sale.
3. Pick up the projects, which tokens have been listed on exchange already. That`s one of the best choices. DCC bounty campaign was live when token was on the exchange.
Not almost. We should also check their price, because maybe their token will become dead-coin and they try to take anything as much as possible.
5. Projects, where devs are just enthusiasts and they are not going to run ICO are good and perspective too. Example: semux, privcy.
Marketing also contributes a lot to success of ICO. So, we should check their social media channels to know how active they are. If they are lazy to update their channels, they maybe are lazy to work too. Especially, on telegram channel, I always worry about their reliability if no one answer the questions.
Other opinion, I almost agree with OP. Good luck to all bounty hunters.
