I hereby solemnly declare my participation in the most honest bounty program ever!

I've heard many voices that it is hard to get on board with all the restrictions for newbies and the time required to understand the nuances / structures of bitcointalk. What can be changed to improve this (and thus scale bitcointalk) as more people join the ecosystem?

We're looking for experienced bounty managers that can run a social media bounty campaign for an ICO project. The pre-sale is currently running and already raised >$1M. We want to boost our presence on social media going into the public sale.

Possible campaigns:

- Twitter bounty
- Bitcointalk signature bounty

But we are open for suggestions.

Please PM us or let us know if you know great bounty managers so we can get in touch.

Thanks!

This is probably a noob question, but I would be very thankful if you could help me with this!

I’m curious to know where you find information / announcements of upcoming airdrops and bounty programs. (i.e. Telegram groups, Twitter profiles, websites, subreddits, Bitcointalk sections etc.)

Which website are you referring to?

Thanks for your input. I understand that this might cause some disappointments. But it's still technically an airdrop and "[ANN][AIRDROP FOR TOKEN HOLDERS]" doesn't make for a good title either.   

Holding the tokens until Q2 2018 is not a requirement. So the snapshot will be made at the closing time of the PRTS ICO. PRTS2 will have it's own ICO in Q2 2018.

Agree, from the economic view of an investors it can be considered as a bonus. Technically it is an airdrop though, as the tokens are issued for free to a community of holders of a specific token. 

The airdrop will be automatically applied to every PRTS Token holder at the launch of the Multi-Manager Platform in Q2 2018. The PRTS2 tokens will be directly dropped to their wallet which stores the PRTS tokens.

The Protos Fund, while still conducting their token sale, recently announced that they'll airdrop PRTS2 tokens to every PRTS token holder.

From now until the end of the public sale on December 15th, get 1 PRTS2 Token airdropped to your wallet for every PRTS investment you make. This means that if you purchase 10,000 PRTS Tokens, you will get the same amount of PRTS2 Tokens airdropped to your wallet. Existing investors will also get PRTS2 Tokens for every PRTS Token purchased.

PRTS2 is a utility token that will be "airdropped" to PRTS token holders and issued in a new ICO to finance some of the building of the "Multi-Manager Platform" infrastructure Protos Fund creating. An airdrop facilitates an automated, and free of charge, delivery of PRTS2 token to PRTS token holders.

With the proposed multi-manager platform Protos Fund intends to connect holders of large amounts of capital with leading strategy developers. This platform will provide crypto traders with the tools they need to build, test and run quant trading strategies.

UPDATE: Due to demand we’ve been able to remove the minimum purchase  for BTC and ETH to qualify for our 20% discounted pre-sale. (The minimum purchase for USD is still $25,000.) To align incentives with early crypto purchasers and in advance of the fork(s), we will price pre-sale BTC and ETH investments in the Nuggets ICO at 9am PT on the day the public sale launches – 14 November 2017. Then we’ll set the BTC and ETH price at 9am PT each day of the public sale after that.

No Airdrop.
Bonus will be 20% during Pre-Sale and the tokens are ERC-20 tokens that can be stored on MEW. The Nuggets app will also function as a wallet upon platform launch.

No, there‘s no bounty program for Nuggets.

The data is stored on the blockchain using zero-knowledge storage. This means, neither the companies you transact with, nor nuggets themselves have access to this data.

This is the official Bitcointalk thread for the upcoming Nuggets ICO. Please reply with any question you might have and we'll try to respond as fast as possible. We will also update this post over time with FAQ's and new announcements.

Nuggets is a consumer blockchain platform giving users a single biometric tool for login, payment and identity verification, without sharing or storing personal data. For too long, we have all been handing control of our sensitive private data to countless online services. Held in huge corporate silos, that data is vulnerable to breaches, hacks and abuse. Billions of records have been exposed or stolen in recent years. Make sure to read through the Whitepaper or Summary to understand how Nuggets aims to give you back control of your data.

I also found that starting off with the concept of IPO's works good. With the main difference that investors don't buy a percentage of a company but rather a share of a (future) network. If the network becomes valuable and gains traction, a return can be made on this share. Depending on wether the network / platform already exists during the ICO, it's either a security or utility that you are essentially buying from a legal perspective.

Thanks for the replies, great resources to dive into. I'm actually reading about blockchain since 6 months already and therefore am able to wrap my mind around the concept of ICO somewhat. But I found it being very difficult to describe it to people not involved in cryptocurrencies. But your answers helped a lot already.

Outdated.
