I think that there nothing you can really do... most of projects are unsuccessful now and also legit ones have many difficulties... I really hope situation will change but now I left more than 70% of bounty campaigns I was making because projects seem dead...
If you are seeing no future about those projects, that's the right thing to do, instead, consume your time with other things that can bring benefits to you
or study much deeper and find project that really worthy to invest your time and effort, somehow there's still good one out there but it's really needs to pay attentions and much clearer views.
Exactly but the problem is to find the new coin that can do a big % of price grow...we must look for coins that are not ico or bounty but people are too stupid for this....I regret I did not get bought coins like litecoin,vertcoin or viacoin when they were very very low in 2015...there is a good dose of luck of course, but you must always do your own researches...for example watch Elicoin in livecoinwatch , is not an ICO or bounty... it's a coin with low mc, low supply, PoW whit cpu, no premine, active dev...only trading it on CREX24 for now...do you own researches in the thread in bitcointalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3028302.0... people are too stupid for DYOR and got scammed by ICO or bounty...just my 2 cents...hope it helps...cheers
