Attention, this project or the bounty managers are committing fraud, people are not getting paid, heads up.


Just a heads up and complaint, after I spends days researching and writing an in depth article about this project I realised I am not getting paid for it. I contacted the bounty management and was informed that the traffic on my site was too low.

Excuse me?

  
As you can see in the rules below the emphasis was on quality, depending on the quality you would get 10-30 stakes,
the amount of traffic just another indicator where in between this range you would end up. But hey, suddenly you get zero!

Did you see any section or red flag indicating that blogs/articles get rejected if the traffic is too low?


Me neither, otherwise I would have stayed the hell out of this...traffic is something you cannot influence,
and if there is a rejection policy the least it should have been communicated upfront.

If you manage only top quality projects then I can see your point of view, bounty hunters can get paid well for doing relatively basic tasks. But there are so many other projects that never get anywhere, do not reach the softcap, don't ever get listed at exchanges. So unless you have tons of experience to look for the right projects you can potentially waste a lot of time.

By the way are you managing the arizn campaign? I almost signed up to that one but when I read that only 3 posts per day count I had to move on. I did not understand the point of that. I can write 10 posts in one day and they are all quality.

I believe so too. If you look at what happened yesterday, many alts were in the double digits price appreciation, some like Nano even went up 50%. If you did some research you realised there was no big announcement, no key event, nothing.

It is believed that some bigger players use trading techniques that are illegal in other markets to manipulate the prices.

You're right, the vast majority are researching projects, but that is exactly the problem. Most of them get never completed. And if you look enough you find at least projects that developed some kind of prototype, an early version of the product.

Very rarely you come across ICO's with a working product, but these exist too. Just have a look at Metahash. 

Also I think we waiting for some big decision in regulation, the ETFs are top of mind it seems. After that decision the game will be on again. The odds are high that the SEC rules in favour this time as their application is the most complete ever submitted, even insurance is covered. There is a very good chance that this time it will get passed. But let's don't get the hopes up too much.

Going short is very risky, especially in this unpredictable market. It is also not a very good time to do that as we are already in a bear market for more than a half year and pretty much bottomed out. Also look what happened yesterday. Without any major news a lot of alts have been pumping out of nowhere. If you had short orders they would have been all wiped out.

That is very interesting, was not aware that NEO is partnering with Microsoft, even so just for this competition. But if Microsoft decides to work closer with NEO then this could become very big news for NEO and a huge lift. One the other side, would Microsoft as an US company really partner with a Chinese based blockchain if the american counterpart (RChain) will be launched soon?

Which experts are you talking about? The TA guys who never watch news or follow important developments and study charts all day? I like to look at fundamentals instead. One example, depending on your location, it costs around $6.000 to mine a bitcoin. So this is the absolute minimum price in order for miners to stay in profits and if Bitcoin goes below that mark it will bounce back.

I read the article again and it clearly stated that 31.August will be the final snapshot where exchanges are supported, so sooner or later you will have to move them to you ERC-20 wallet anyway. Anyone know how much % is the airdrop, I heard 7% of your overall token but that seems very high. Wonder how long they can sustain that...

Obviously you have to find your sweet spot, if you are full of excitement while doing trading and you are beating the market constantly it's probably no point to change. But the majority of people don't have the experience/expertise to do that.

If you want to be on the safe side and see some more days of green then before invest it is probably not a bad idea, giving all the instability in recent days. However around 6k seems a very strong support line. When the price fell to that level this year then volume increased and price bounced back quickly. There is also a good risk-reward ratio in that zone.

Are you referring to the Airdrops you receive if you hold NPXS in your ERC-20 wallet? Is Binance planning to grant those airdrops if you keep NPXS on the exchange? Sounds similar to the case of NEO where you earn Gas even if you hold it at certain exchanges.

I also think Binance is a very good exchange, you find almost all quality token there, it has high volume and the best security. The White hat Hacker project called Hacken has recently tested exchanges and their security, only 2 got best rating: Binance and Cobinhood.

How you come up with these levels? Are they coming from Technical Analysis? I find this very interesting but not sure if it really works in this market. Also when in January, I followed some TA and I only heard Elliot Waves, we go to new highs...not!

I prefer long term invest but this year has been terrible for this type of investors, if you did not sell then you are probably down 80-90% in your coins...last year the hodl tactic help many people to get rich, but this year many became poor unfortunately

I agree. Also, Ethereum is not only one of the best altcoin in the market, it is also one of the best altcoin generators in the market. 9 out of 10 ICOs are using ERC-20 token that is build on Ethereum platform. Therefore the price is greatly undervalued right now.

Yes, NEO is considered the Ethereum of China. I also like to invest in NEO and blockchains in general ss they have more potential than just simple dApps...I am not sure why NEO price is so low, for me it makes no sense. NEO is the only blockchain close to Ethereum with a number of high quality ICOs...it should be worth 10x what it is priced now and soon will be again I am sure

Last year was great year for ICO, this year is ICO winter and people are already happy if they don't lost money once token were listed at exchanges...most people were not happy because they lost money...most time only the projects themself got rich...I think in the current market, best think is just to keep your ETH and in few months maybe is already worth 5x more than now

Exactly, no one want to sell for these low prices we have no for a while, expect maybe people who came to market just this year and already tired of waiting and waiting and loosing money. I think many of them already gone by now. Also I think we waiting for some big decision in regulation. After that decision the game will be on again, or postponed again and we will wait some more
