We’re always active over on telegram. Check us out there — bitcointalk has made it very difficult to rely on their forum as a primary platform for ICOs to host information about their projects. Between this forum being overrun with bots, and the mods here deleting entire threads due to bot comments (that weren’t welcome in the first place), it’s verh hard to know if a thread will even be around from one day to the next

Anyways here’s a link to the telegram:

One thing I would add (as a bounty manager) -- make sure your content is original. Copy/Pasting the majority of your content from the project's website or whitepaper (even if informative) doesn't make for a high-quality post. If the entire article/post is Copy/Pasted - I reject it entirely. If I do approve an article with a large amount of copy/pasted content, it's always for the lowest stake reward -- and only if it is accompanied by some original, insightful information.

Thanks for pointing this out. However, in the first link the regex is buried in some other code in one of the comments. This also wasn't even in the first page of results on google for me (google displays different results for different individuals). As for changing the search query to "validating if a string is hexadecimal"  that's a good idea, although it doesn't account for "0x" and the 40 char length so could potentially give false positives.



Thanks for these, however, I was looking for a regular expression to use in my google forms for bounty submissions. I figured someone else could use this information.

Look for agencies hiring Community Managers on websites like crypto.jobs
As a hiring manager for PowerLaunch -- I know it's a good source for work that pays in crypto, that's where we post our job openings.
It's typically better to work for an agency as the agency will negotiate with the projects and keep sending you a steady flow of work -- and in turn they will pay you in BTC or ETH most times. You won't have to worry about being payed in tokens that may not have any value in the future.

I did a search on google and couldn't find this posted anywhere, but here is the regular expression (regex) that I use to validate ERC-20 wallets for proper structure:

I'm just hoping this will help someone - it's very useful if you have a form that requires users to submit a wallet address (especially bounties and things of that nature).

What you're proposing is a crypto-government -- In my opinion, this is the exact opposite of what is needed. I feel that giving a body the power of vetoing specific projects would lead to bias and power-control issues and ultimately be damaging to the trustless environment that blockchain is creating.

Exactly! It's the same in any industry, especially new industries. 99% of times regulations come about based on past events -- most regulations do no precede the actual problem. Problems arise before solutions are established. It's the unfortunate way our world works.

I understand your point but I'd like to point out --- the fact that only 44% of projects were still active after 120 days could be directly related to the fact that many people dumped their coins. Which goes back to my point that ICOs should be for investors, not traders. The reason many entrepreneurs are going back to traditional methods is likely due to the decreasing numbers of people investing during token sales, as well as increased regulations. The regulations, IMO, are a good thing because it will cut down on the number of Scam projects, and hopefully offer an avenue of recourse for those that get duped into investing in scam projects.


Yeah I agree here, too. I also feel that profits will be more likely to be made if there are more believers in the project, and less that think token sales are a good way to "get rich quick". Like I said, if it was that easy then everyone would do it.

Theymos said this about signature campaigns:

You should ask your bounty managers to contact him to get a list of users who had the correct signature.

First off let me start by saying that I'm using ICO as a broad term encompassing all token sales.

With that out of the way let me get down to it.

I hear it all the time... (insert project name here)'s token is down 53% from the ICO price one week after it was listed on an exchange! Why would anyone invest in an ICO when we can just get the token cheap on an exchange?

It seems to be a good question when you read it, I mean, we see it all the time. MANY projects do decently well during their token sale, only to drop as soon as the tokens hit the open market. Why then should any of us invest during the token sale? Here are the reasons that come to mind for me.

1. It's good for the industry. The more people investing in ICO's the quicker the cryptocurrency industry, as a whole, advances. Think back to last years rally. EVERYONE was participating in token sales of some kind. New companies were moving into the cryptospace en masse. I do have to point out that there were also a LARGE number of scam sales popping up at the time, but the fact remains -- the industry was booming and the markets reflected that. Maybe this isn't a good enough reason, so let's dig deeper.

2. Volume. The limits to how many tokens you may buy during any token sale are MUCH MUCH greater than the volume available at those terrible exchange prices after listing. Think of it like this. Sally buys 1 Million 'blabla' tokens during the token sale for $0.10 each. As soon as those tokens hit an exchange the price plummets to $0.05 -- Bob buys all of the 1000 tokens available at the $.05 price. Over the next few months the price gradually increases, until finally the price surpasses the token sale price and hits $0.11 -- Sally's tokens are now worth $10k more then she paid. Bob's tokens are now worth $60 more than what he paid -- so while Bob's % of profit is better, in actual $ terms, Sally is MUCH better off. Sally didn't have any opportunity to buy 1 Million tokens at $.05 even though the 'price' of the tokens were at $0.05 (because there were only 1000 tokens sold at that price). So who made more money? Neither. Here's why...

3. You Lose or Profit if you SELL. There is NO reason to get worked up about a token's price immediately after a token sale -- UNLESS YOU SELL Immediately, but why would you? You truly believed in the project when you invested -- what changed? Nothing!!! That brings me to the next point.

4. NOTHING HAS CHANGED! The token sale just ended, and now the token is listed on an exchange before any of the dates on the roadmap. The project hasn't had time to mature and make developments and reach milestones on their roadmap. The product isn't finished and the project hasn't started profiting yet. Why would the price increase with absolutely no reason? If you're looking to make a quick dollar -- maybe you should focus on trading instead of INVESTING (and know the difference).


All this being said -- I offer the following advice:
"Don't invest in ICOs to make quick money. Do you research and only invest in ICOs if you 100% truly believe in a project, and the potential for profit -- EVERY good investment has a significant amount of risk involved. If you plan to invest in a token sale, let the team do their job and develop the project before you complain that you aren't driving a lambo after investing only $100 -- if investing was that easy EVERYONE would be a millionaire/billionaire --- if EVERYONE is a millionaire/billionaire, then no-one is.



That's a few reasons I could come up with off the top of my head -- anyone have any thoughts, arguments, or additions? Hopefully we can get a good list of pro's and con's going here -- so we can share this thread the next time we're asked "Why should someone invest in an ICO?"

I'm glad we wear the copper membership to allow our pictures to remain.. some of our clients weren't so lucky.
