Even if all check marks are achieved their is still no guaranty that the project will be succeed in the long run, specially if you would want to support the project even after the ICO.

You should also consider the following:
- If the project has real use in the real world and not just promises.
- Project should be moving according to the road map and is developing, after the ICO is finished if you intend to support it in the long run.

Tracing the funds that they have accumulated will be very hard specially if the raised fund is not only in cryptocurrency but also with fiat. As not all projects will be using the main tokens to gain funds specially in a bear market as cap will be harder to achieve if only altcoins and BTC are used.

Buyback programs of tokens to avoid the dump is just a short term solution for a token. As long as the project / token does not have any interest in the investors mind or it does not have any demand in the market or the niche it represent then in the long run the token will just dump again. I would be better if project focus on what they can deliver in the market a have investors in their project.

The big problem here is that bounty hunters do not run in there bounties in a contract, and as such treated like a cheap advertisers. Though I doubt that even with contracts bounty hunters will be treated more nicely. I think its either the platform or the bounty managers should impose certain rules that will help use be protected in the course of the project.

The reason the bounty hunters are seen as such is because once they already have their rewards they will sell their tokens right of the bat, but if you dig deeper in the market situation of the token you will see that it is not the hunters that are the reason of the dump. As one could investigate there are many reasons of a dump, the main reason will be the investors selling their tokens, another could be that the token have a market volume if that is the case then any small token sale will pull its price down so hard.

Its only east if you get the hang of building a rig and setting up the algorithms along with choosing the right altcoins to mine. That means that you should have at least a good amount of technical skill before you start and you will get confused even before you start earning in crypto mining. The good thing though is that even if you don't have that technical skill you can always do the research on how to start, though lets face it many people would just want to plug the components and start the application and call it mining then end the day without even researching.

Just because you are in a competitor in another similar product that does not mean that you cannot like the competitors product. The same literally goes in the real world just because you are a part of a certain company lets say Adidas that is not a reason for you to not like product from Nike and vice versa. The same goes to cryptocurrency though what I am curious about the their intent as any news regarding a certain altcoin could potentially affect price.

These allocations and expected rewards should always be based on the expected result of the token sale. If a project is claiming that it would have millions of dollars in rewards at the and of the campaign always put a grain of salt in it as it is only the potential price of the rewards if the sale goes well. I just wish that most bounties should have a range of expected rewards listed based on their soft cap and hard cap as to set an expectation to the bounties hunter on what they would be getting of after the bounty.

KYC are not just being implemented by bounty managers but also the project managers depending on the ICO. As you can see different projects require different information and there are projects that would require you to put your personal information in their platform. This can be seen quite often inf airdrops or bounty campaigns that would send your rewards in the account that you made with their platform.

That is right as long as you already use their plat for they already know all the information that they need, so why bother with KYC if they can just connect Libra to FB. As such this worries my as FB had a record of information hack and having much to much information about you if very dangerous because it can be used against you or in a shady marketing scheme. So having them manage your digital wallet can be alarming because of such records. If you are wondering what kind of information hack I am talking about just search the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.

There are multiple ways to manipulate prices and it is not only in these crypto exchanges, but it is also happening where almost anything is traded. For instance in the stock or forex markets where events or news can change the price of different currencies. Which means that control if such information can manipulate prices in certain times or region. In my opinion the manipulation of prices is not entirely a bad thing as it can help certain currencies to pump their price.

I have been checking reviews from tech websites and tech tuber for benchmarks and reviews of the new Ryzen, but I have yet to see a hashrate for it. They have only tested these processors for gaming and productivity as this there the real world case scenarios for its usage. Though I still want to see how these processors compare from the mining standpoint as if you but lets say a 12 or 16 core mainstream CPU, you will not be able to use all of its cores in simple tasks. So if in any case using you PC while mining could be a good option.

I would suggest that you go and check the new upcoming projects where they are still in the ICO phase. This is for you to know what altcoins you can expect on a specific time frame, though just a remainder that not all of these project will be on the market due to crowdsale. Next is check websites like coingecko where the do not require requirements to be listed in their platform unlike coinmarketcap.

There is a time where the majority of the people who knows and put trust in these project were only few, and only the users of this platform know about it. That time was the time that bounty programs were at its best, simple because there are only few projects that scams or not fulfill the crowdsale. Its high is probably in the last bull run in 2017 as the hype of the masses bubbled the market, but know it is as what you see where there is to much negativity in bounty campaigns.

Regulation in the cryptomarket can be both a good thibg and a bad thing. It is good because once the regulation starts on a specific region then rules and regulation can be implemented to help users, investors, and even the developers to be safe from uncertenties in the market. On the other hand this regulation can also be exploited to the loop holes of the rules to benefit the few.

You should just accept it as it is negative criticism from the last bull and bear market, as most people who jump in that time were only there because of the hype. And you cannot blame them as an investor or bounty hunter you can experience one of many things, like being scammed by the project manager or even the project having a very bad publicity or sale. That is why reviewing the project is a necessity if you want to put your money into a project.

ICO website rating are not really a measurement if the project will do good in their crowd sale, as even higher rated projects could flop as it is dictated by the investors and interest of the masses. I would highly suggest that you do your own review of the project though it will only lessen the risk that you would take in investing.

Though there are also disadvantages in high volatility. As we can see that not all investors, traders, and hodlers are experts in seeing the signal of the market declining. As such once it happen there will be negativity in these group of people which will be the majority of the crypto space. Hopefully there this bullrun everthing will be different as many of us already learn form the last bull run.

The useless coins in ERC20 is made the the people who were riding the hype of cryptocurrency in 2017 or would really just want to scam investors. As such, personally I do not blame it for being such a platform as it is not the intention of the developers. Every product has advantages, disadvantages, positives and the negatives. And it is up to the consumer how will they use such product.

This is why hodling too many altcoins is a risk too as you would need to have constant update and price check just to check if your token is still valuable or if the token has already pumped. A good strategy for hodling is having only 5 to 8 altcoins max with the exception of main cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH or XRP. This is for you to minimize any chance that you can miss an important information about the altcoins that you are hodling.
