I am usually confused when a coin to be forked from another is conducting an ICO or bounty campaign. I thought the hard fork implies just splitting an already existing coin into another? People should be wary of such ICO project no matter how attractive their bonuses may be.

Although fork from an existing coin, but it needs to develop. Therefore, ICO for development fund or bounty for spreading the world is normal. But I think If they can not improve to better than origin chain, it will become a shitcoin later.

Yes youre right, I can remember that Blockchain gave out $25 dollars worth of Stellar coins (XLM) each to every user of the blockchain wallet with a verified account. And they have also added the coin to their wallet, users can now send and receive XLM with it. So I believe every new coin needs to promote their coins by doing some kind of giveaway just to grow their awareness.
