On my own point of view as I notice in bounty program they are just looking for jr. Member and up so I think newbie is not yet eligible to join bounty program.
Some bounty campaigns still accept to newbie participate. Example: Snowgem is opening the signature campaign and there is a bounty for Newbie. You can enjoy to receive their coin! I am also participating their campaign

Im very new in this forum, but already invested in btc over 1 years. Am i a newbie

)
anyway can you give me the link of bounty campaign of snowgem?
