ICOs have become an attractive counterpart to traditional IPOs and venture capitalism, as ICOs are based on promising blockchain technology and typically have much less regulatory oversight. With so many options to choose from, however, investors can feel overwhelmed at the smorgasbord in front of them.

1. Gladius – DDoS Protection and CDNs
2. Indahash – Online Marketing through the Eyes of Blockchain
3. CanYa – Peer-to-Peer Services at Lower Cost
4. BitClave – The Search Engine that Protects Consumers First
5. Confideal

More details on the respective ICOs here (http://bitcoinist.com/5-promising-icos-watch-november/).

You should add CommerceBlock to the list as well, check it out.

They sound really interesting. To be honest I am not sure about ICOs right now, I think the true hot issue market will start again in spring. However there are some hidden gems right now!

They are no longer exciting as old ones, in order to create a ico hype, you need a well known, famous person in business world.

Actually for November I do like the following ICOs - I will be investing in all of them:

1. Spectre.ai (https://www.spectre.ai/?r=9RPng) - It is a trading platform aiming to solve broker manipulation in this segment, real problem indeed. I have invested in the pre-sale. They will have two type of tokens, a utility token for their platform and a dividend token which could be a great source of passive income. You can find out more here: https://www.spectre.ai/?r=9RPng
2. IndaHash (https://r.indahash.com/participate/236.html) - I will invest as well. They aim to tokenize the entire influencer industry to solve major issues between brands, influencers and their audiences. More information here: https://r.indahash.com/participate/236.html
3. HydroMiner (https://www.hydrominer.org/token-sale/?_af_token=902a61f35a8328742be0471238d988d5) - ending soon - you change your tokens for mining contracts and find it to be also good for passive income. More information: https://www.hydrominer.org/token-sale/?_af_token=902a61f35a8328742be0471238d988d5
4. AION (https://aion.network) - No date yet for it to start (could be end of november). I invested in the pre-sale and I am very excited about this project. This is why I decided to wear their signature as well. More information here: https://aion.network
5. Bluzelle (https://bluzelle.com) - It enables people to rent out their computer storage space to earn a token while dApp developers pay with a token to have their data stored and managed in the most efficient way. More information: https://bluzelle.com
6. Quantstamp (http://www.quantstamp.com) - Protocol for automatic auditing for smart contracts in the ethereum network, which could be huge. More info: http://www.quantstamp.com
7. WaBi (https://www.wacoin.io) - also solves a big problem, helping secure anti-counterfeit labels on consumer products in China and internationally. More info: https://www.wacoin.io

There is another one - Pecun.io (https://www.pecun.io/?ref=CRYPTOMOONIAC) - in which I will NOT be investing but they are giving away 20 PCO tokens for signing up to their platform - so free cannot hurt right? I share my link: https://www.pecun.io/?ref=CRYPTOMOONIAC

Come to CommerceBlock.
First ICO with a BIP...
BIP 175

I have read about Gladius and it looks like they are offering a great deal of money just so they could pull of more investors with their project. That I would agree but next to your list I dont know yet.
Thanks for the information and will be looking to those ones on your list. It seems like we need more ICO's like this which will not just look for money but for a better project.

Top 1 and top 2 deserve their spots.
I rarely see projects like Gladius, they're almost like the Golem project but with a way different take. More focused on DDoS protection and specializing in content delivery networks.
And with IndaHash, it's already an existing successful project and their just trying to integrate blockchain technology.

I would like also to notice Remechain ICO. That's the marketplace for secondary metals trade. The project aiming to real economic market with 100$ bln turnover. Its provide advantageous opportunities to market participants.

Also, revenue system is transparent, she including token buy-back and dividends paid to tokenholders.

this is one of the many ICO's that can be a success and worth following. I as one of his team saw the team work very good and solid in show by them, therefore indahash will be the solution for us in advance the digital world that all practical
this is the link indahash:

Do we need a special protection Project only for ddos protection? I don't think so.

People started to conduct very specific projects and this is no good. You don't need millions to create a ddos enemy system or protection. There is already companies doing this when you pay them.

I don't think it's a good time to participate in the ICO now. It' more likely the trading price will be lower than ICO price. Wait and buy them in the exchange.

True. You dont need a blockchain for a ddos protection.
There are so many ICOs and coins out there, that missed the real sense of a blockchain.

You should add Arker to the list, check it out.

There so many features in which I am sure many of you would live to invest to. Concept of the ICO is promising sir I am sure if you invest here there would be a good returm to your investment.

In your list, I would be agreeing with you with Gladius and BitClave ICOs. As far as my own research is concerned, these are two great projects that have very bright potential in the crypto market. In addition to the two that I mentioned, I would also recommend to you all Get Protocl or GUTS for a much orderly and less fraudulent ticketing industry. Another is Providence, a casino and resort based in Malta that has a big clientele. 

Unless you get into the pre-sales, you will most likely get dumped on. Wait for ED.

Are ICO's still investable and bringing returns ?

Can I add one more, take alook  SRG Community, this project want to offer loyalty program in game industry. I think aim of this project first in online game industry. This loyalty program will give advantages for gamer also for developer of game so this community will be bigger day by day.

What if someone doesn't like the game?   An ICO for a gaming start up or company in my opinion would be okay, but an ICO that involves just one game? You can monetize games through Google Play and the App store, not sure why they would need to have an ICO just for one game. 

Gladius focuses on Content Delivery Network, but there are several coins like Lbry, Storj, Amp which store stuff by IPFS and so on.

Thanks for the information and will be looking to those ones on your list. It seems like we need more ICO's like this which will not just look for money but for a better project.

You should add cybermiles - decentralized marketplace blockchain that will be implemented on the app 5miles that has 12 million users and then commercialized for businesses.

From your list I don't really rate Bitclave that high, they have been able to raise good money through pre-sale but do they actually have a chance in that market that is dominated by big companies

I think that Crowdholding should be added to this list, they launched their ICO on the 1st of November. It is a very interesting project, with a strong team and a great concept.

https://ico.crowdholding.com

I would highly recommend to watch Propthereum.io. They are an asset backed cryptocurrency on the blockchain and are expecting a 1566% coin appreciation in a short period of time. All proceeds raised from their ICO will be used to purchase A-grade property worlwide generating a rental income and underlying value for the PTC token holder. They launch 20 November.

thanks for the lists i will invest all of my funds  ;D

In my opinion is Gladius focuses on Content Delivery Network, and its look like good and bright in the future, i hope can success and i will invest on it
