Few weeks ago I found my self in this technological medium And I have been on the newbies section not knowing there are several sections here on the forum. Coming here I find one word very common which is Bounty it will a pleasure if someone will highlight what its all about it importance and benefits !!!
First of all i would like to welcome you and take some time to read up and familiarize everything you do encounter.This forum is somewhat vast in terms of informations and money making opportunities.
So lets go back into your concern on what is a bounty? Its a task been given out by a certain project to the community which been paid up by tokens after the end of the campaign.
Usually it do pertain with social media task,article/blog writing, signature campaigns and other possible task to be given.There are some set of rules to be followed for you to be eligible and as a newbie dont easily get hyped up because you're limited on what campaign you would able to join due to rank restriction.Make some time on establish your account and read up things then get familiarize first on how this forum works specially its rules to avoid some problems in future.
