The best Bounties from ICO startups on Bountyhive Portal (closed)

The amount of earnings depends on the degree of promotion of Twitter/Facebook, the number of bounties and the technology of the approach. I believe that a bounty player of average laziness can start earning money approximately 2-3 months after starting. Why not right away? Because until the bounty is over, until you are credited with tokens, until they are listed on the exchange, it will take about 2-3 months. It’s realistic to spend 1-1.5 hours a day in the flow. At the start, it will take 2-4 hours a day to get the hang of it and learn how to do it quickly, like I do.

Previously in this place it was written “an average lazy bounty player can earn about $1000 per month after about 2-3 months after starting.” This information was relevant only at the end of 2022, beginning of 2022. Due to the instability of rates and the complexity of ICOs, it is difficult to predict any specific amount. You can receive tokens equivalent to $1000 during the bounty stage. But these are just tokens. It is not realistic to predict whether they will have comparable market value or not.

It looks simple, but there are a lot of details. I’ll break it all down, how a newbie can start in the bounty, and an average player can improve their results in this matter.

Base. What you will need

1. To participate in the bounty, you must have an account on https://bitcointalk.org/. If you have not registered yet, then do it right now and continue reading the article. It is very important to have an account on this forum and the sooner the better. It is important to upgrade your account to at least the Junior Member level; this will take 6 weeks (read more about statuses on the forum). You can start with the initial Newbie status, but then about 50% of good bounties will not be available to you. A quick option is to buy a junior account. Now it costs 2500 rubles. You can find a seller on zismo.biz. However, it’s easy to upgrade to Junior Member yourself. It is enough to register for 5-10 bounties and send reports weekly. This way you won't have to think about what to write about.
2. For 90% of the bounty you will need an Ether wallet. Get it here myetherwallet.com
3. For some you will need a NEO, WAVES wallet, others (they are less common).
4. Create an account in Telegram telegram.org. Now 80% of bounties require a telegram account.
5. Twitter account older than 3 months (preferably older than 6) with 500 subscribers.
6. Facebook account with at least 300 subscribers.

In a regular job, the criteria for increasing wages are experience, length of service, and qualifications. And in the bounty, it’s stupidly the number of subscribers on social networks. The more subscribers you have, the more you will earn.

The terms and conditions of each bounty clearly state the number of stacks that will be awarded for tweets/retweets, posts/reposts.

To start, I indicated the average entry threshold, this is the minimum at which they begin to accept. But you can’t earn much with that amount. You should have around 3000 followers on Twitter and 1000 on Facebook. If you have never encountered social media promotion, then there is nothing difficult about it. Watch my video about Twitter promotion without investments, it's easy.

The technology is similar for Facebook.

Let's look at the nuances of participation and income distribution.

So what is a “bounty campaign” and how can you make money from it?

Our article will most likely be of interest to those users who are interested in cryptocurrencies and would like to make money in this area, but do not have start-up capital for investment. It will be useful for such people to know that earning money on crypto is possible without investments. You just need to perform some simple actions that popularize this or that crypto project, and receive a reward for these actions in cryptocurrency. Thus, a bounty campaign is an advertising program within the ICO, aimed at increasing the popularity and recognition of the launched project, for which social networks, thematic blogs and forums, websites, etc. are actively used.

You will not need to invest your own money to participate in this venture. Bounty participants receive coins (tokens) free of charge as a reward for well-completed tasks. Moreover, this happens at the very start of the project, which is especially beneficial. After all, the initial price of coins, as a rule, is quite low, but after they are released on crypto exchanges, it can rise sharply and grow tens or even hundreds of times. That is, with the successful development of the project, after some time the owners of free coins have the opportunity to hit a decent jackpot and this, mind you, without spending a single ruble. By the way, in this way it is quite possible to earn money for investments or go to a crypto exchange with the received tokens and try yourself as a trader.

Naturally, for everything to work out successfully, you need to not make a mistake in choosing a bounty program (although you can participate in several, increasing the chances of success) and be conscientious about fulfilling the conditions of the campaign.

Profit calculation

Let's look at an example of payments on Twitter depending on the number of followers.

Payouts are measured in stacks. What is this? It's some kind of points. For example, ICO FarmaTrust distributes $1,000,000 in tokens to bounty participants. According to their terms, 17.5% is allocated to Twitter.

This is $175,000. All Twitter bounty members will receive them in tokens. When summing up the bounty results, the manager will calculate the total number of stacks. Let’s say all participants generate 30,0000 stacks. And you collected 300 stacks with your Twitter. Therefore, your share = 300/300000*100 = 0.1%. It turns out that with your 0.1% you are applying for a common bank. In total, your 0.1% of $175,000 is $175 in tokens.

Therefore, the more stacks, the more you will earn.

I’ll use an example to look at several conditions for stacks. For example, the conditions of ICO SP8DE.

This means that if you have 250-999 followers on Twitter, then you will be credited with 10 stacks, if 1000-9999, then 20, if more than 10,000, then 50.

Or here is an example of WePower ICO conditions

Here's a slightly more detailed breakdown. In all bounties, the breakdown of stacks varies, but the logic is the same: with the same volume of actions, the one with more followers will receive more.

Let's say you have 300 followers and make 5 retweets per week for WePower, you will get 4 stacks in 4 weeks. And I have a Twitter account of 4,000 followers. For the same 5 retweets per week for a month, I will receive 20 stacks. 5 times more for the same amount of action. Therefore, it is in your interests to promote your account.

The second payment option is stacks for 1 action (and not for 1 week). For example, the QuantumNet bounty has the following conditions:

The more actions you take, the more stacks you get. For such types, a maximum of actions is always set. In this case, that's 21 tweets or retweets per week.

Types of tasks

There are two types of tasks on Twitter: tweets, retweets (on Facebook, respectively, posts and reposts). Tasks with post comments are less common.

Tweets often require certain hashtags or links to be included in the post.

The average bounty asks for 3-5 retweets and 1-2 tweets per week. However, there are also those who do not require you to write posts about yourself.

Based on posts, you can make simple sentences in Russian and translate via https://translate.google.ru. The post is usually made in 100-150 characters.

If there is a bounty where you need to retweet all outgoing posts, there is a daily/weekly limit. Particularly sophisticated ones set a daily limit (for example, 3 reposts maximum) and a time limit (for example, so that the spread between posts within a day is at least 1 hour).

But there are not so many confused ones. Average statistical conditions: do this 5 days a week, 1 retweet per day.

Nuances on Twitter and Facebook

1 point

You can participate in just the Twitter campaign, or just the Facebook campaign, or both. No obligation.

For example, if you don’t have much time, I recommend that you only engage in Twitter, because... it is more nimble (retweeting and posting posts is faster and more convenient) and not picky (it doesn’t swear when you make a lot of posts in a row, and Facebook may start issuing a captcha or even block the repost or post function for a day).

2 nuance

You can post the same posts on Twitter and Facebook. I do it and everyone does it. Therefore, it is beneficial to post on both Twitter and FB at once, since you have already prepared the posts, and all that remains is to post them.

3 nuance

On Twitter you must have at least 85% of live accounts using the twitteraudit.com service. Historically, almost all bounty managers trust this service in identifying bots.

If you promote your account according to the method I outlined in the video, then you will have above 95%.

This is what a quality account looks like

This is what bad looks like

Attention! Twitteraudit is a paid service. It costs $5 per month. You can check for free only 1 time. Therefore, do not check your account until you have at least 500 followers.

When registering for a bounty, some require you to indicate the number of followers based on a Twitter audit. And until you recheck your account, you will have old data. Therefore, you will have to either buy an account or somehow get out. Some enthusiasts who have purchased an account offer to do it for free on Bittalk. Look for threads like these: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2353462.0, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2196720.

4 nuance

Facebook and Twitter can identify your actions as spam, so to unblock all phones and emails associated with your account must be under your control. I know of cases where a person bought an account on Twitter, started participating in a bounty, and then Twitter blocked him with a request to indicate the text of an SMS, but it is not clear which phone is linked.

5 nuance

Some bounties require that the account on Twitter and FB is not freshly registered, but must be at least 6 months old. Therefore, if you do not have such an account, you need to buy one.

You can buy it here, in one of the account stores https://deer.io/catalog/

Buy one-year accounts and fill them in with your data, re-link them to your emails and phones.

Opinion from the network:

“The ICO market is not regulated by anyone. Every day, dozens of new ICOs appear that raise money for some idea. And each ICO hopes to collect at least the minimum amount that would be enough to implement this idea. After all, if the minimum amount is not collected, then the idea will not be realized. Usually, in this case, the money is returned to the participants (this is stated in the rules), and those who participated in the Bounty program are thanked. That is, people can spend a lot of their personal time, especially those who translate the site, whitepapers, and in the end they will not receive anything. Since the idea of ​​the ICO did not find understanding among investors and the ICO was unable to attract the required amount of money.”

Registration for bounty

There are several ways to register.

1. Registration via form. In the bounty manager thread, post a form for registration in each type of bounty (Twitter, Facebook, telegram, etc.).

   
   As a rule, you need to provide a link to the social network, account name, and ether wallet. Below is an example of what the form might look like.

   
   Usually, after such registration, you will immediately be included in the list of participants. But double check just in case. A link to the list of participants is almost always available. It happens either at the very beginning or at the very end of the bounty thread, or in a block of information about a specific type of bounty. In order to get a link to your profile on Bittalk, you need to go to your profile https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile, and open the link by clicking on Summary. You will get a link like this: https://bitcointalk. org/index.php?action=profile;u=1222518;sa=summary. Remove “;sa=summary” from it and this will be your link. In my case it is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1222518.

2. Registration via a post on the forum. Under such conditions, the manager indicates in the description of the bounty the format in which the data must be provided. Usually this is a link to social networks, the number of subscribers, an ether wallet, and sometimes the word #join.

   
   Sometimes you need to register both in the form and in the forum thread, and make a post called Proof of authentication post link. Please provide a link to this post in the form. This will supposedly protect you from bots. After such registration, you will usually appear on the list of participants only after the first report, in 2-3 days. There are often problems with this registration method and you need to press the BM if it doesn’t add. I don't like this type of registration.

3. Registration every week (Weekly post). The Weekly Report serves as a way to record tweets each week. Registration in the form is not required. You will be included in the list of participants after the report. If the report is correct, then stacks are credited quickly (1-2 days after the report).
4. Registration via email. Rarely, but it does occur. The most dreary thing and often something goes wrong, for example, they may not be included in the list of participants.
5. Registration through your account. Some bounties have offices inside the site dedicated to ico. In some you can register through a bounty aggregator, for example https://bountyhive.io/browse or https://app.bancor.network/discover/bounties or bountyportals.com

Frequent registration errors

1. Forgot to register. It looks stupid, but it happens. It’s true with me, sometimes I’m too hasty. This happens when you study a bounty, enter the data into your diary, and forget to register. It happened that a couple of weeks passed after I noticed that I was not on the list of participants. Therefore, it is important to ALWAYS check yourself against the list.
2. Forgot to like the page on Facebook or follow me on Twitter.
3. I forgot to join the telegram chat. 70-80% of bounties now require you to log into a telegram chat. If you don’t log in, you may not be awarded stacks.
4. In the Twitter form, instead of a link to the Twitter audit, I indicated a link to my Twitter, and vice versa.

Email subscription and article translations

Two more simple and clear ways that are popular are subscribing to email or translating articles from different languages. Subscribing to email consists of registering on the project website and entering your email address to receive news. Translation of articles means filling the site with high-quality content: news, subtitles, letters and presentations. This is one of the most popular ways to get tokens. In this case, you need to act quickly. After a certain news is released, it needs to be quickly translated and published. High-quality and fast work in this direction is well paid.

As for email subscriptions, there may be a limit on the number of subscribers.

Passing the bounty

Based on the scope of the task, you need to make reposts and posts within a week. If the assignment says 5 reposts a week and 2 posts, then you can’t take it all out in one day. Needs to be done on different days. In order to take all this into account, I have developed a very convenient diary. Here's the screenshot.

I recorded a detailed video on how to use it.

I also recommend watching my video of how I complete 71 ICO bounties in 36 minutes in real time:

Where to look for bounty?

Most often, the main channel for disseminating information about new projects and bounty campaign opportunities today is the Bitcointalk.org forum, which has a huge audience of interested users.

Projects also often talk about bounty campaigns in their blogs on Medium or on the main website. Twitter is also popular. In the same Telegram messenger, you can independently search for information using the query “ICO bounty”, “new ICO bounty” (of course, this can also be done in search engines).

Current bounty campaigns can be found on these sites:

Twitter and Facebook reports

Reports are the most difficult part of a bounty. Most bounties require participants to submit daily reports with links to retweets and posts.

On Twitter, after you retweet, the link is copied like this:

Lifehack. On Twitter, it is convenient to copy links to tweets through the service https://www.allmytweets.net/ after you have completed all the bounties for the day.

On FB, the link to the post/repost is copied when you click on the time of the repost/post under your name.

Attention! Click on the date/time specifically under your nickname, and not on the time of publication of the post that you shared.

You need to put the links into a text document and submit the report on the required day of the week.

How to determine when the report is?

1. Firstly, the bounty description may indicate the beginning and end of the week.
2. Secondly, the day of the week when to submit the report may be directly indicated.
3. Thirdly, the day is not indicated in the description, but there is a breakdown of weeks by date in the list of participants in the table.
4. Fourthly, the bounty creation date can be the start date of the week, so if the bounty starts on Wednesday, then the report must be submitted on Tuesday. But this is not an accurate method. For accuracy, you can ask in the thread or search, maybe someone has already asked. Often someone has already asked and they have answered.
5. Fifthly, see on what days other participants submit their reports.

But then, after 2-3 days from the first report, you need to see if the stacks have been credited. If it’s not credited to everyone, it means the bounty manager works that way and rarely updates. If only you are not credited, then you need to write to the bounty manager and provide a link to the report.

Where to submit the report?

In most bounties, the report is submitted in the bounty topic. You need to reply to the thread and post links to tweets/retweets, posts/reposts. Sometimes the description of the bounty indicates the form for submitting the report. This is what a typical Twitter report looks like:

This shows the start and end date of the week. Twitter name, member table number, twitter address, number of followers and links to tweets and retweets (proof of work).

Another option is to create one post and update it, supplement it with new links to tweets/retweets, etc. This type of report is explicitly written about in the description, here is an example:

The third option is form. The link to the reporting form is provided in the bounty topic.

The fourth type - there is no need to submit a report at all, it is considered by the manager automatically or through the office. Personally, I don’t like these, because... there is no control over the progress of execution. It is not clear what they think there.

How do I know if stacks are being credited?

In the description of the campaign you need to find a table with a list of participants. It is located either at the very top of the bounty description, or at the very bottom, or in the description block of each bounty. For example, they write conditions on Twitter and provide a link to the list of participants on Twitter.

In the list of bounty participants, the manager awards stacks by week.

If the report was submitted on the 4th, everyone was credited with stacks, but you weren’t, then you should worry. I keep a special folder in which I put links to all reports in notepads in order to defend the stacks. Like this:

From time to time, managers may inadvertently fail to credit stacks. Then you need to write to him in telegram or PM on the forum, show links to your posts with reports. As a rule, they accrue after a request to accrue stacks. Write politely, don't be rude. The manager does not owe you anything; due to rudeness, he may ignore the request. Many bounties generally state that you may be denied participation without explanation.

What are you risking?

It would seem that the topic of risks should not be raised at all in this case, because you do not invest a penny of your own money, but receive crypto coins for free. And with these coins, you can immediately go to the exchange and turn them into specie, or wait until their value increases significantly and sell them only after that. In any case, you seem to be making money out of nothing.

But, on the other hand, by not investing money, you are investing something no less valuable - your work and your time. But there is no guarantee that the ICO you choose will collect enough investments. That is, your work may remain unpaid.

Therefore, we repeat once again - approach the choice of project with all seriousness. Don’t grab the first offer you come across, even if it promises mountains of gold. After all, promising does not mean doing it. And although you are not investing in a startup, still look at it from the perspective of an investor and analyze how likely it is to receive a profit adequate to the work and time you have invested.

In any case, such an analysis will be useful, and will either confirm your desire to participate in the chosen campaign, or lead you to the idea that spending about a month on a company that does not have anything concrete and intelligible “behind the soul” is, at the very least, unreasonable.

Well, if you decide to participate in such an enterprise, then immediately prepare yourself for possible failure and, if it happens, do not take it to heart. Reassure yourself that negative experiences are no less valuable than positive ones.

Schematic of what needs to be done to participate in the bounty

1. Find bounty among many. I am creating a table for free based on launch dates, located here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_uQR5RNfwP5ufpwoCyz5s6KGeU1WY0wZoYLXHWT0ERY/edit?usp=sharing. Choose fresh bounties.
2. Study the terms of the bounty. Determine how many posts and reposts you need to make per week. Find the day of the week when you need to submit the report. Where to submit the report. Find the registration form and link to the list of participants. To start, do this with 10 bounties, after a week add another 10, after another week another 10-20.
3. Register using the registration form. Additionally, join the telegram chat or bounty and ico channel, now this is very often required, so you can do it by default.
4. Check yourself immediately on the list of participants. Scroll down and see if your details have been added. In most cases you will be taken straight to the table.
5. Make a mini-plan for completing the bounty for a week. For example, the volume for a week is 5 retweets and 2 posts. Calculate: repost on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. On Thursday and Friday you can also fast.
6. On the day of the report, submit it as prescribed in the bounty conditions.
7. After 2-3 days, look in the list of participants to see if you have been credited with stacks. If not, ask the manager what's wrong. If everyone is not accrued, and not just you, then the manager, most likely, will not update this table often.
8. Complete the bounty to completion. After completion, look at the topic, there may be additional ones. conditions. For example, go through verification or fill out some data. Keep track of the token distribution date. This can happen either a week or 2-3 months after the end of the bounty. Managers usually give estimated completion dates.
9. After receiving the tokens, decide what you will do. Sell ​​everything at once. Convert some into ether/cue, and leave some. There are many options, but this is your investment strategy, you “bought” these tokens for likes, and it’s up to you to decide what to do with them.

How to organize work

I advise you to create a separate table where you briefly write down information about each bounty in which you decide to participate. I record the following data: project name, links to the site and forum, bounty end date, reporting information.

A table like this won’t hurt even if you only participate in airdrops or bounties without reporting. This will allow you to quickly restore information about each project, since when you work closely, it all begins to resemble chaos.

Each project needs to be monitored - not only the accrual of stakes, but also the work of the team. Sometimes a project fails and there is simply no point in continuing to work with it. Very often, ICO dates are postponed several times, sometimes at the end of the bounty some new conditions for receiving tokens emerge, for example, passing KYC is mandatory.

KYC (know your customer) is a personal identification procedure. Usually you need to fill out a special form with all your basic data and attach a scan of your passport. This is done to ensure that you do not work from a hundred different accounts in order to receive a hundredfold reward. One person - one account - one payment. I don’t think it’s legal to request such information, but laws in the area of ​​cryptocurrencies are moving slowly. And when they get there, it will no longer be possible to earn anything significant here.
