I was once an investor had few gains to some ICO/crowdsale but made many losses so I decided to stop participating in ICO instead I do bounties and buy it thru exchanges from bounty hunters dumping it.
I know for a fact that most of you know this situation and are guilty of it, price tends to tank due to bounty hunters selling their share of tokens for cheap. I think its better to pay hunters in eth or other alts rather than risking the price of their token or coin in that way they could also help their investors and boost confidence to their future and their project. Well for me a falling price is a mark of a failing project "ICO's"
Yeah, it's true what you say that the low ICO token price is a sign that the ICO failed to maintain its ICO price on the market. Of course this will diminish people's trust in the ICO. It is indeed better to pay bounty with other potential altcoins so that bounty campaign hunters are also eager to do their jobs. By getting potential coin prizes which have no doubt on the market price, the campaign hunters will be bounty about their enthusiasm and maximum work in the ICO bounty project. I myself have proven it and my motivation is even higher if I get potential coin prizes, like eth and bitcoin.
Sure. Just if the project does not want to pay) This is the main problem today. If they wanted to pay and did not skimp on advertising. They could set strict requirements and high standards. What would improve the entire ecosystem. But no one needs this.
