Lately i didn't seen bounty program of ICO that reached at least softcap (no dreaming about hardcap).
Do anyone know some active signature campaign bounty that already reached softcap and is not ending in this week?
Bounty program is the one option to market ICO programs. We should not blame the bitcointalk forum for reaching soft cap or hard cap. Apart from the bounty program there are various promotion ways to market it.
If any project use all promotion options to make their product fame among the crypto users then reaching soft cap is very easy but mostly investors doesn't have product they just come to market and want crowdfunding for their project. How come investors will accept it.
Then there is no comparison behind bounties, signature campaigns and crowdfunding. Personally I don't know such project since market is really hard at this time for ICO.
Series of suggestions regarding the ICO promotions were provided. Here something that needs to be considered is the softcap. Scam projects stop by the soft cap. Further there won't big efforts from the team to reach the hardcap of the project. As mentioned the present market is really hard to understand as well to predict for certain time period growth.
