In the cloud of upcoming ICOs you would think GETBOUNTY would also employ an Initial Coin Offering. Instead they went another way. They are distributing tokens for free while creating content that will build the ecosistem and by doing that the price of tokens also. The tokens are based on ethereum backbone and are called XBTY. For those that don't have ether wallet, although that is hard to imagine for people who are in cryptoindustry, there is a good service to get one.
It is called myether wallet. There you can create ether address for free, and on that address you can store XBTY bounty tokens, which you can earn from campaigns.
Check the link for ether address: https://www.myetherwallet.com/
The tokens you get have a wide range of use cases, such as coins, certificates, IOUs and so on.
Developers are currently working on creating ecosystem, which will feauture P2P VPN service, poker game, business database, online magazine and many other cool things. If you have some interesting ideas you can contact them.
Now you know a bit about Getbounty project, but I am sure you are wondering how do I get my hands on those tokens. There are a few ways and you are not too late.
You can participate in social media bounty (twitter), there was facebook campaign also but it's closed because of low visibillity, as is translation bounty.
Also you can write a blog as I am doing now , or join development team and help with coding or some other tasks.
Currently it seems that only blog, twitter and signature campaign is open, as stated in bitcointalk thread.
Bounty breakdown is as follows:
• (20%) Twitter campaign — 628,318 XBTY
• (5%) Facebook campaign — 157,080 XBTY - Closed
• (15%) Forum signature campaign — 471,238 XBTY

Main place where you can get all information about Getbounty project is: http://getbounty.net
Bitcointalk is also a good place to talk about many projects so it's good for Getbounty too. Also there you can enroll in signature campaign, which gets you point for writing quality posts. In that way you are contributing to discussion and earning XBTY tokens.
