if I think we should learn more about the project developers we will be participating in, because the research effort also consists of reading about the team behind a project, because Only experience can help solve this problem. No doubt it is necessary to get acquainted with the program and project idea in detail. You also need to get acquainted with the team that will carry out the project. ICO commands and ideas that are not seriously seen by the naked eye.

Most people get attract from the design of website or thread and they decide to join that bounty campaign. Sometimes they join specific bounty campaign because of high rewards but at the end of campaigns they may get scammed or they not get the whole amount of money or bounty campaigns failed ICO and many other reasons.

There are many things to remember while choosing proper bounty campaign. The first thing is that Team of the project. If they project don’t have proper or experienced team mates then there are chances that project may get dumbbed on way.

It is true that white paper is a benefit that we must read. But white paper is not a successful project size. There are still projects complete with white paper, but the results are different.Must be supported by team and prize hunters to make it success.

It is very difficult to choose a bounty  that will actually work, because there are too many presents. I do it by not choosing 1 a bounty, following it all by participating in a media campaign like blog or facebook, twitter.

1. Be selective.
It’s very important that you only reward the very best contributions. Otherwise, your brand image might suffer and serious contributors will have their stakes diluted.

2. Know what you are paying.
Status paid an average of 28350 SNT’s to their translators in the bounty campaign. At the time of writing, that’s around $1.6k, for just translating a 500 word document. Keep this in mind when you decide how many tokens you want to allocate to each task. It can sometimes be a lot more cost-effective to hire freelancers instead for certain jobs.

We recommend our clients to allocate between a 0.5–1.5 percent of their tokens to an ICO bounty campaign.

3. Community.
Your startup definitely needs a channel where it can interact with bounty hunters. This is not only important for answering support-related questions, but also for building a community of early adopters around your product/service.

4. Spread the word.
Make sure to tweet about your bounty campaign a couple times and to mention it in press releases. This will get you a lot more contributors and exposure.

5. Have a clear goal.
What do you want to achieve with your bounty campaign? Do you want to gain more exposure? Or do you prefer feedback and improvement tips instead?

6. Create a bounty page.
Some startups only mention their bounty campaign once in their ANN thread on bitcointalk. It’s very important that you also create a dedicated page for this topic on your own website. This adds a lot of legitimacy to the campaign.

7. Make a participants list.
Contributors are anxious to see if their work got accepted. In order to avoid an overwhelmed support team, your startup should create a participants list. The most effective way to do this is to make a publicly visible google spreadsheet that shows all contributions.

8. Be patient.
It’s very important that bounty tokens are distributed at least 2 weeks after the token is first traded on exchanges. This gives the price some time to grow before bounty hunters start selling their tokens. Additionally, you will have 14 more days to convince bounty token holders to hold their reward as a long-term investment.

9. Monitor Submissions.
To prevent fraudulent submission reserve the right to determine whether any payments will be distributed for any and all bounty submission. Create clear guidelines pertaining to criteria for submitting qualifying bounties. Anticipate receiving many submissions and developing a protocol for tracking all submitted bounties in order to verify author identity.

10. Collecting payment addresses.
Ensure that payment addresses are submitted privately in order to maintain user submission anonymity and prevent bounty participant fund theft.

11. Be careful with scammers.
You will receive emails from individuals that claim to be a bounty hunter and that they would like to change the ethereum address “they added when they submitted the task”. My experience so far has shown that these are scammers 99 percent of the time. Please be careful.

12. Incentivize high performance.
Develop and incentive structure and a mechanism to receive bounties which provide greater impact by increasing payouts as a function of results.

Choose a bounty with realiable manager, platform, developers, and have a good rating and community.
There are many good bounties actually. Just search first before joining.

I like choosing projects that are late in their ICO and have already raised money. Also make sure bounty pool is big.

Where can I found a list of realiable managers (if such exists)? Or atleast a an overal descriptions who is good or bad ? I see a lot of them (most popular one) have negative trust for scam projects...

For me a very good campaign is an active community. There is admin on telegram groups and the community is encouraging new members to pioneer the project. Also I notice good bounty campaign must have good road maps and good demo account if they have a demo platform.

I'm choosing bounties that are not too long because otherwise if project will fail it will be a really big waste of time. Then I also look if social media are big enough
