And do they have a future in general?

I think regulation can be good...right now just seems like there are so many (potential) scams.

yes i have bought into an ICO,
my first one was Electroneum which has great potential and there are a few threads about it in the altcoin section.
The current one in my signature INDAHASH has a very promising project also.
Here is the link to the announcement page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2285136.0;topicseen
There are also a lot of scam ICO's still being found out.

yes i do, and not success as i though. but if you really want to join one, i hope you carefull to choose wich ICO you like. See the dev look their background, make sure they have clear roadmap and have whitepaper

edit: you'll see who comment on your thread maybe promote their own project so please choose wisely

I have invested in countless ICO. Some are good some are bad. Regulation could be a double edged sword. It could bring sanity in ICO space and at the same tme stifen creativity and growth, while denied the participant their freedom! Think carefully about regulation!

My only invest to this day is Electroneum

In this two month I have invested in ICO approx 5 project, and for now only one project give me profit other just make loss and I decided to wait the price up, we need more carefull and smarter to choose what project to invest, and I will invest in VLB the concept interesting and great potential.

There are many scam Ico that is why we need to search over and over again in which has the potential coin. Regulation can be good in order to prevent scams ico project. And this is the best to stop people to create another Ico.

You must be careful when investing in ICOs. There are many scams around and several serious projects. I always recommend to do a bit of analyses. Better invest in projects with real existing project, where people have invested already before the ICO. Not just nicely designed white paper.

I have not been able to participate in an ico investment, because I do not have enough stock yet, but if there is stock, I want to try some investment on projects that I think can be profitable in the future, I will research by myself how a project will go forward, through the whitepaper, roadmap, and team managing the project.

Yeah, I invested in few ICO's from yobit but that didn't end up well so I am actually scared to buy tokens during ico.
From that time I have been joining only bounties if I believe project will become big.
Regulation is good but giving your personal information without knowing something is scam is big no no, ICO regulation has to be world wide and not only in few countries.

I think ico's have a future with the pace at which technology is changing. Personally I have invested in a few ico's because I can see that we live in an ever changing world and cryptocurrency is here to stay.

I've invested lots of ICOs, gained and lost so far. But I'll be much more careful for the future ones.

I've invested in a couple of ICO's, luckily it wasn't too much money,lol..even those projects that seem to sale millions of their tokens during their ICO , turned out to really suck when getting on the exchanges. Seems like the team that makes the most during their ICO doesn't put in anymore effort in promoting/upgrading their project when getting on the exchanges. Safer to buy the tokens when they just been listed on an exchange. My opinion.

Yes, I have been investing in ICO's but I only invested my time since I can only afford to lose it rather than losing money. They do have a future but not all of them in general. I have been investing my time in some bounties like Soferox and for now I am into Spectre.ai which is a unique and a one of a kind project with a working software that has potential to grow in the future. It is really hard to tell whether an ICO is a potential scam without doing intensive research about the idea of the project, the team and a working application. Investing money on ICO's kinda hurt our feelings, wallets and purses most especially if the one we are in turns out to be a scammy one.

I agree, too many scams at this point with some gems in between

Yes I have, I made some mistake at first, but now I don't take much risks anymore. If you do your research well enough, you should not have many problems.

Yes I invested in ICO projects which I find promising. It is true that we can’t totally be sure whether the project will turn out to be scam. That is why we need to do research before investing.

Yes, I take part in many bounty campaigns, so analyzed projects, read white paper, look team and what is the main thought of the project, so after that I really found few projects in which invested. Of course, I invested just 100$ for each, but that is good for the start.

I think some of the ICOs are able to come up with Bitcoins in the future. Crypto is growing and mutually supportive. The rates of these coins are satisfactory and I think we will soon see a breakthrough.

No never have , never will and never intend to. ICO is like the internet bubble start up buzzword, being Tellselled by just another Amazing Mike.
99,9% is Creme de la Crap. 

TO be honest , there are several good projects in my mind but the system of bonuses at the start for big investors make them non profitable after the ico is done and the coins are dumped.

The only one project for me to invest as investor in long run would be GRID+, they are real they dont even mes around with the bounty and I ike that.

You are right, regulation is really necessary and Russia had launch her first legal ICO last week so i think the other country will follow.
Personally I have participated to Monaco and I receive token on time like they say, everything was nice.

Yes I have invested in many icos but I have never do right choices except one which is populous but fortunately I have put only 100$ .

I have invested in a few ICOs, having made good gains initially but not doing so good recently. I think the market certainly become more sceptical to ICO now and be particular careful with those ICO that offer heavy discount during private sale as they can dump at a much lower price than a regular ICO contributor

I've been invested in the ICO several times and it became x3 to more than x 10 that I get after their campaign ended. So up to now I still doing it as long I know the ico is potentials and legit as well.

In my opinion ICOs are a legit innovation in fundraising, I think it will be around in some type of format for a long time. With that being said the current application ICOs are still very immature and I think ICOs conducted a few years from now will look very different to the ones we are seeing now.

The last ICO that I have invested in was DIMCOIN ICO back in July. In my opinion, I think the coin has huge potential and the chances of making it in the near future, and might benefit investors who are willing to hold for long term. I love the idea behind the project and the fact its not just a coin but there is also an ecosystem involved, which might excelerate the value after some years, and the nice part is that I started making profit during the ICO phase.

no, i have yet invested on an ico but i can say yes, ico's actually have a future though not all of them and i think all ico's are regulated because they are compose of real people that operates real time but sad to say that most ico's these days are just scam or ponzi that will likey vanished after some people invested on their company yet there were few legit and promising ico that still ongoing for the development of their project.

yes, i've been try to invest to an ICO just once, because we just try if my coin will rise up so we try it and when the ICO's done i just get 10% i think then i never invest again.

I am waiting to invest in Spectre ICO. This project will begin crowd-sale on November 17th. The pre-sale hit over $6. If you like it, you can access the website to get information https://www.spectre.ai

I invest some ico project
I get good money from waves and lisk
waiting tezos result

Yes, i have invested in ICOs.

I've invested in Antshares(NEO now) as well as Datum which is still ongoing. Antshares obviously turned out to be a great investment, though i definitely sold way too early at just a fraction of the current price being traded at.

ICOs are only emerging now as a viable way of making investments. It'll continue to make an impact.

I have invested in ICOs and believe they make good investments. I am always looking for new interesting ICOs to invest in. Right now I am very interested to invest into Propthereum.io. They are an asset backed cryptocurrency on the blockchain and are expecting a 1566% coin appreciation. All proceeds raised will be used to purchase A-grade property worldwide. This will generate a rental income and underlying value for the PTC token holder. The great thing about this concept is that the coin will always increase in value.

Yes, i do bought some and invested my funds in Good and promising ICO. Especially in pre-sale season. I suggest that if you are going to buy or invest you must to deep study that particular coins for you not to regret later on. Put some enough time to analyse and see the benefits of that coin not only for investor but also for everyone or in communities. Goodluck and Happy trading.

Periodically I invest in ICO. Scammers who just want to get a little profit, but if you approach the choice of ICO carefully and carefully select the product, then it's quite feasible to earn some money on this business

They have a future but that depends on the hype on their product, if there will be mass potential to use their product and the ico just will become the time bomb. As you can see a lot of the ico that gives best platform.
The regulation will be filtering the professional person from the scammers. It's good imo.

I have buy some Playkey tokens and now, I am waiting for Bitclave to invest. After doing research, I see these projects are promising to join.

I did investment in this ICO below, and still I am managing to earn more coins

Crwodholding (https://ico.crowdholding.com/), with a working product. You can earn tokens by answering questions on various tasks on their platform (https://www.crowdholding.com/newsfeed)

yes i ever invested some of my money into an ICOs.
but they're not running well,because they got hacked by people due to bug in their source.
regulation in cryptocurrency and ICO ? i do not think it will happen.
because it's a decentralized thing,and it's very hard to control it while we do not have an authorities behind it.
at best they're only can regulating every exchanger that offer Bitcoin and altcoin.
other than that i do not think they can do it

Not yet but i want to try it. I read some of them are all succeed on investing in ICO. Im hoping that someday if i will invest in ICO, it will be successful.

I've invested in ICO but it's just a small amount. But when it came to the exchanger I did not like its price because of the fall and too much of my investment value. So I did not repeat this and participated in campaigns. I have a bigger interest in campaigns than investing in their ICOs. I'm just one poor person and I'm trying to earn money to make payments on my daily expenses.

i invested more the 13 ICOs , 5 token were dumped right after release one of them was ether-doge , my opinion noting is safe just try your luck

I, too, did so, and now I continue to buy all the altcoins in which I believe and which are at a low price, and the majority in connection with the fall of the market, I think that they will give superprofits in the future.

I've invested in something that could have more people interested in purchasing it. They usually don't work out that way lol.

i invested only in 1 ICO.. it was the most horrible experience i had
the other one i tried to participate but could not succeed because of the stress on ethereum network
but i love to buy ICO tokens when they go under ICO price =] it happened to me many times haha

yes that's true. this is a matter of experience and knowledge regardless of anything about fraud. if you believe and have knowledge, it is not impossible you will become rich from investment ico.

Nowadays it seems like a lot of times you would have been better off if you would have instead waited for ico coins to hit the exchange.

Yes in fact im in an ICO right now and trusting them waiting for the payout but before i can get my salary i have to put time and effort to my ICO, if you are willing to sscrifice your time and the results will come soon and i am believing that it will be good results. You just have to put time on an ICO. But be careful to some ICOs because there is a scam and im not saying that all of tue ICOs are scam you just have to read carefully and get some information of the ICO you wanted to join. That's based from my experiences

You need to do your home-work. Most importantly who is behind an ICO. For example with trade.io (https://trade.io) the backing is huge. They now announced Modulus will be developing the platform. They already have two companies that will use their product. Big companies..

yes, in the project Propy, also in the summer there were many successful projects such as BAT, now pay attention to the Spectiv

I had experience of participation in ICO. There is nothing terrible in this, nothing complicated. Learn to choose the right ICO. I participated in RLC LiveStars 3Des SmartHoldem

My first and only investment on ICO was Power Ledger, actually it is doing quite well despite the current situation.

Yes, I have invested in few ICO's including Monaco, a very successful ICO!

Now I will invest in trade.io! The future of trading, finally a decentralised platform for trading.

I did invest in Ethereum. Arguably the best ICO of all. Sadly, I did sell a bit early on and prior to its great bull run but thankfully went ahead with mining and holded some later on.

Later ICOs have in my opinion been based a bit too much on speculation rather than providing a minimum viable product from early on. Infrastructure in the crypto space is in my opinion worth investing in, but speculative ICOs are too risky and could potentially leave nothing behind if the ICO bubble pops. So I haven't invested in any later ICOs.

No till now i haven't invested in any ICO but my freind had invested in many ICOs. Not all the ICOs have future. Only very few are the real ones, others are the scams. So you have to go through the whitepaper and the idea of the project thoroughly, and try to find weather its a scam or real.

I invested in several ICO's, before i put my funds i study their team capabilities and if its regulated to be sure, i invested on good projects like Waves Ether and Bitcoin.

Yes if you want to join to the investment of ico. Just know everything, and need awareness. For your own safe and to avoid scammer.

Still im not yet Invest in any ICO. But I have invested in countless ICO project. Im search some Great ico,so its can be profitable in the future,

Not yet. But I am thinking about investing in the future. And I'm already searching for ICOs that are worth investing.

until now have not invested in any ICO, but someday i will invest into an interesting ICO

I bet that most people who have been in crypto for more than 7-8 months must have had experience investing into ICO's. However I would suggest that not to jump into any ICO blindfolded as most are near scams or their value go down when the tokens are launched in exchanges.

Actually  I have not invested in a ICO yet.Because don,t know about ICO invest properly.I try to know better about ICO.I see Many ICOs was failed.I do not know whether all investors have got their money back.That's why I'm afraid to invest in the ICO.

Iam interested in some ICO that from professional team only. Many ICO now actually legit and have good potential but we need extra time to find it, because any ahundred ICO in amonth. By keep focusing and continue learn the fundamental of ICO and token market will be make more expert in crypto world.

That is one of the reasons I rarely invest in an ICO project, investors should also think intelligently not to get caught in the ICO scam. Before china ban ICO I once invest in ICO project and I earning profit from sell token given

Kindly go through all the required details before investing in any ICO. Read all the whitepaper and if that is situated in your country and nearby do visit them and have a meeting and ask all the question before you invest in. If you are not satisfied do not invest just because other are investing in that project.

One day ICO's will be regulated by law, but for now, it reminds me Wild Wild West. I did invest in two ICO's: Monetha and BlackMoon Crypto, and few more once Tokens was released to exchanges.  It's very risky and in some cases better is wait until tokens start trading on exchanges and price goes down after few weeks. Only best ICO's brings rewards from day one, some after time and few are never profitable or became scam. 

I do ICOs but I prefer pre-sale with the discount assured.
Recently I'm buying AppCoins (https://appcoins.io) until the $5.000 limit of the pre-sale. It has good traction in app store, so I'm expecting a quick appreciation.

You have to do your due diligence carefully for ICO investing. Most people expecting a quick
double or triple on ICOs quickly to flip those are disappointed since only some ICOs
do that. Very often new coins trade at or below ICOs prices for some time before appreciating.

I always participate in ICOs with bounty, especially in signature and translation campaigns. I guess this is the only way to get tokens with no risks.
Anyway, I think you should always search for projects with interesting innovative ideas and support them despite the fact that there are a lot of scam ICOs out there. Just don't take things for granted, check everything and ask questions.

Yes there is too much scam
I'm doing good research to trust
I'm looking at infrastructure and investors
I have'nt found a good project for the moment

Good project need money as well to develop. There is a few legit ICO though.

I've participated in programs for a few ICO's in the passed year, some have "seemed" promising others were simply scams and thankfully i pulled out before it was too late.

I would suggest looking into the NEW ICO called trade.io (https://trade.io/).
trade.io is an innovative new blockchain trading platform that will disrupt the financial ecosystem and democratize the markets.
They use peer-to-peer platforms to support the trading of a wide range of assets, and will be launching their own cryptocurrency, the Trade Token, which you can now acquire via PRE-ICO.
They currently have a bounty program available which has attracted many users in this community. Airdrop also available if you join the TradeToken telegram group!!!
Bounty Program here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2370663A
ANN Thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2367245.0

It has been the most solid ICO i've come across in the passed year! Be sure to check it out.

I do not see any reason to invest money in the ICO, because the price of tokens falls immediately as they go to the stock exchange, in general there is no sense, we need to wait until the situation on the market calms down

I have invested in ICO since march of this years. and from my experience, ICO are what it is. You get rewarded bountifully with profit if you can do your research in picking quality ICO.

Of course I invested in some ICOs. Some of them I made a big profit like coss but scl is fuck, I made break even point because the team not care about the coin in the market. It is far from the ICO price. Furtunately I sell quickly when I got BEP. If not I will loose my money.

i invested only in one ico and i regret a little.. it did not go so well ;[

I think you ll do the really good investments when you have a good expirience and knowledges in this area..
try to watcj vebinars, read news and participant in conferences

Yes and there has been some up and downs but in the end it was globally worth it as I won more from the successfull ones than I lost from the failures.

I can recommend you https://blockshowasia.com/ .. they provide very effective conferences and there you can meet beneficial contacts

i have always wished to do that but it hasn't happened yet because most of ico investment usually requires a respectful ether amount. 

Yes, I have only recently started investing in ICOs. My first one was Hashrush ICO, second Stormx and the latest Indahash. I am still looking for some more good ICOs. 

no, I am afraid to invest, on that as I observed that after ICO for some reason the coin is rolled, it is necessary to wait long so far she will grow up in the price though before it I didn't observe, on the contrary she always grew

Yes I have invested in many ICO.
electroneum, ATS, TEZOS, ETBS, HEXTRA, etc.

Currently I have been investigating the existing and upcoming ICOs to take risks to invest into one of these projects. I have already read much about scam projects and compared them with those ICOs ,which seem to me the most promising ones. Caviar is a good one to my mind.

I am not interested in ICO invest.Because I will buy a token at the price of ICO and when it comes to the end, its price is very low.My time was wasted in it.I'm afraid to invest because of a lot of scam ICOs.

Yes I split some NEM to Dimcoin and I am feeling quite confident about the future of it big and reputable developement team behind it.

I'm thinking of investing in ICOs now. Where does everyone find out about them usually? Through BitcoinTalk and Reddit?

I have been reading some trading groups like nemberia and nemtraders on telegram.

I have a limit of 2 on every month. I choose best 2 ICO of the month and invest few hundred dollars in them.
I am happy for now. And keep investing on 2 ICO every month.
I am sure i will buy a lambo in few years.

I invest in ICO every time. My investment in ICO in October has been very profitable back to back! List of my 500% profit ICO I bought in October.
1.Powerledger
2.Central
3.Horizon
4.Cobinhood
5.Genesis Vision
The most promising one right now is Fundcru

that is my activity, investing in ICO.
much I've experienced during investing in ICO ranging from big profits to fraud. I think investing in ico gives a big advantage but we must have a way to avoid ICO scams.

Hiii!!

I have invested in somes ICO but I havent had good experiences, I didnt lost money, but I have seen how the project's go out to the market with price lower than the ICO ... I know that by investing in the ICO, you invest in the project, but if we talk about profit... it is better to buy in the market when it comes out and hodl. Thats what I did with some new project and I bought at a lower price than ICO. Anyway, with some ICO you have to wait long time till the release in markets... Thats my experience.. Good Luck!

Please let know if you come across good bounty programs where we can participate. SInce you are senior member you might have more experience in analyzing ico's and their project.

Yes I invested several times in ICO, most part of them was profitable for me, howewer some of them was scam, this was a lesson for me. Now I research more about ICO and team before invest. Regulation should be I think.

You seems really lucky person who made the profit with the ICO all the time. Not some of the people are scammers dude. You can find all the people definetely looses their money in ICO atleast one time.
When you guys are planning to invest on ICO token sale. At first you have to read their white paper release and blog. You may get more information and can clearly understand the project relevancy to cryptos.

It is not all ICOs that are scam. Some of the are legit. Its just that to identify those that are legit is difficult

The most important thing is to do your own research about a coin before buying any ICO. Or you wait at the exchange gate to buy any ICO you are interested in

No, and I don't think I ever will. Unless I see something that really just blows my mind, I'm quite content to participate in sig campaigns, airdrops, and do a little trading on the side.

I've never tried investing in ICOs. Im just participating in their bounties or airdrop but I don't have a plan on investing. I don't trust ICOs that much and that is my opinion only

There were some news that Amazon bought three domains like amazonetherum etc.
They said they are not planing to do an ICO or accepting Crypto Coins on Amazon.
The first larger company that will do an ICO will be my first bigger investment. This will be a game changer.

No i haven’t invested in any ICO campaign yet. I don’t think i know enough to judge a ICO if it’s good or not.I will gather some more coins and then I will definetly start participating ICOs.

no , i'm dont ever interest to invest in ICO
more ICO now seems to scam investor , but 1 ICO i dont know this scam or not
the ICO is Electroneum *cmiiw or ETN
After launch , ETN reached price 0.5$ *cmiiw again
hmm i'm not sure ETN is scam , i means 50:50 , 50% scam 50% legits

if I want to invest my money in ico usually see wibsite from ico, and so forth. after i feel confident new i seek opinion to my co-workers if they also agree i'm sure ico that i will follow will not scam.

I still haven't invested in an ICO, whenever I see potential in an upcoming one still I am not able to invest due to minimum required of ether to be sent. I am also afraid of investing on some new ICOs that have unknown devs running it because it might be just a scam.

I've always stayed away from throwing my precious coins to icos or mediocre projects. Im very cautious about my investments, thats why i do  not understand what these people are lining up to throw money at these icos. But im not saying there arent good projects. But talk about over valued company raising 8 digit figures based on a white paper.. but i finally pulled the trigger and invested into the spectre project. Thats why im also joined the sig bounty to earn extra spectre tokens. You should check it out, im not advertising as i did heavily invested into this project. Once you join the telegram channel and speak with the team, you will understand why im confident in this project.

I've invested in 4 ICOS, RedPulse and Hercoin are my biggest investments so far. Let's wait and see where these two coins will develop. Maybe, from the (hopefully) profits can invest a part in new ICOS, etc.

I was struck by the hype at RedPulse, but I'm satisfied so far.

I invested in herocoin because it was the first ICO from my home country and the topic Esports, bets, .... in my opinion, has a great future.

At esports.com, which is from my signature, I will also invest a smaller amount

Invested in 3 ico,Monetha,Air,Enjin.All of them lost their value -70% .What's the point >:( Feeling stupid  :-\

You're right, most of the ICO has the risk of financial fraud and illegal fund-raising, and it's fair to say that many ICO is a scam.
I was involved in ENJ's ICO, and as a result, you saw that the price of ENJ was very sad for me, but even worse was that I was involved in ENJ's ICO, which was a quarter of my total assets, and I was depressed.

Once i participated in many many ico and some of them give me some profits while most are just waste of time and money, i lost interest in ico now, if i really like one coin, i will buy from the exchange, it will probably cheaper than ico price

Yeah, I personally ignore most announcements about new ICOs too, I think I've only invested in one or two, made a profit and quit.
I might invest in something, but then it'll have to be something I'm really confident about.

Besides, everybody is focused on Bitcoin now.

Yes, you need to spend some time researching the project (team, $ hard cap, working product/prototype, partnership, token utility, etc...) and then you can be rewarded. No need to trust all the websites that offer you ICO reviews...

For example, I recently invested a small amount in Modum ICO (https://modum.io/): (solid swiss team,working product, big pharma partners,token that pays dividend, reasonable $ hard cap) the ICO wasn't even sold-out but now the token is worth almost 3x than the ICO value. I didn't sell any MOD yet  since I believe in the project long term

To be honest I never invested in an ICO, because I'm afraid of scams, I always think that my hard work will go to waste. But these days you just got to take the risk, maybe in the future I will have the courage to invest in an ICO. Taking the risk is all I need for me to gain new experience and learn.

I have'nt invested to an ico yet because I do not have enough funds yet. I am looking forward to invest once I have enough funds. I wanted to explore investing for its potential to earn more money and to attain more knowledged with regards to crypto currencies. I just need to concentrate in campaign and when I collected enough payments, then I will pursue it definitely!

Not yet i really want one to invest for now i do not have enough money to invest and if ever that happen I'm going to ask one of my friend or who has knowledge when it comes to do trading or maybe i check the background of what kind ICO I'm going to invest for.

Same with me. I do not invest in any ICO, I am just contented to join their signature campaign and do trading after receiving the tokens since I do not have enough funds to do so. And also I prefer to invest in bitcoin rather than that.

I purchased my first ICO a month or so ago. I invested in Greenmed as I think it will help the cannabis industry with excepting credit and debit transactions through there app. I was interested in it because of the low amount of tokens available and they are burning the unpurchaced tokens making a somewhat small amount remaining. I thought the team is great and level headed so I figured I would give it a shot and see what happens.

ever! and it turned out to be a scam :( :( :( :(. very painful. but I have to make this lesson for the future 8) 8) 8)

Electroneum is a project that had so much of a hype and that was even the reason I did not invest in it. They had too much of a promise they were busy giving investors which obviously is not a promise that would be easy to keep.

However, I am still waiting for how the mobile mining is pulling through right now. I will rather take my chances to see how such a coin will fair later on, than partaking in such ICOs. ICOs are great to invest, but you have to be careful so you do not end up with a shit one and which you can only do by doing your own thorough investigation on the project, team as well as the chances of the product really flying when being realistic.

I think that now the market for investments in the ICO again resumes after all those unpleasant moments in the past month. And again everything will be as before. In any case, I strongly hope for it. Still, good projects will appear.

I see the future of altcoin or ICO investment is still good and it is proven that there are still many new ico and many participants too

yeah i invested in an ICO twice , and it was successfull , if you wanted too to invest in an ICO you must know first what is the worth of their tokens in the future . Read their whitepaper , and their roadmap, and if it is interest you a lot , you can invest as much as you want . But there are many ICO's that are good at start but in the end its a scam , so be carefull to chose the ICO you want to invest.

I'm fairly fresh to the crypto-world.

Invested in electroneum, enjin, and astronaut.

Enjin was oviously a bad investment, could be good longterm, but would've gotten it cheaper on exchange. Learnt a lesson from it, that is hopefully worth more than its loss :).

Electroneum is hurting these days. The pure hype behind it could probably drive it to be succesful.

Astronaut is my best ICO as of now, trading well above ICO-price on etherdelta. Long-term hold tough, and could go both ways.

Ongoing ICO's invested in: Indahash.

ICO's i'm considering: Wabi, Gloom.

Kinda pissed at myself that i didn't invest in Genesis Vision, wich was a project that i had followed closely from the start. But i thought it'd trade below ICOprice like enjin did, since it didn't sell out. Another lesson in the book for me.

Yes Iam invested in some ICO, actually many promising ICO now, but we should be have more time to learn about purpose of the project and the fundamental of the project. ICO regulation is important to protect investor from fraud, and the ICO will be more quality. More quality is better than more quantity.

Ive never invested in any ICOs, because i don't agree with the way they're being proposed currently. I dont think there should be any pre-sale tokens or stuff like that, it should be a fair and even offering and with a maximum investment cap per person, to avoid whales buying it all up.

The whitepaper shows that you can gain tremendous profit from investing into it but the risk of getting scam is very high cause most the ICO project that promotes new token dont even last especially when they cant gained money from the people. Better to invest my money in bitcoin if i have the money.

i invested 300 $ in electroneum, but they were under attack and are now closed for some time. But im still thinking this could be a successfull investment

People tend to invest in ICO MLM projects because every day we have only one purchase and it is very difficult to own that tokens. I think now is a good time to invest in ICO MLM because this market is a new trend of ICO.

I invested in all the MLM/Ponzi/Scam lending platform and gained huge profits..
legit ICOs do not even give me back my capital yet..

Yes! I constantly take part in interesting for me ICO making small sums. From the latter, it is GRMD.

Yes. I bought tokens when they are cheap. I just waited till its price increases and sell them. I got an income by doing that. It is not that big because I am just a beginner in investment but it is really fun investing and trading. Actually, there are too many ICOs who have a future. That's the reason why I invest in ICOs. Try it! You can be rich someday by investing in ICO.

Yes, I invest constantly in ICOs a part of my budget. Of course it has a risk, but than again the profits could be high. I am researching and following permanently promising ICOs, checking the project, the technical background and commitment to the project. If there is a well established technical company wanting to enter and do business in the blockchain, it is interesting because they are going to implement the project as a serious business targeting the future profits from it. I holding alts like OMG, VTC, WTC, etc. I have invested in Electroneum, Swarm. I am monitoring now Gladius, Sether, Qchain, Utrust. We will see..

I support, at the moment with such a market as it is now quite a good and optimal strategy. In connection with the fact that it is not clear whether the coin will be traded on some good exchange, it is better to buy already at the outlet to the stock exchange. I, too, do this.

Never have but someday I will. Try Spectiv, it is a good ICO to invest in, it has a lot of new features that will help the community through VR streaming experiences. My friend suggested this to me but im not ready to invest im gaining more money to do this. I read about their whitepaper and backgrounds of their teams. It is solid. Try to visit their page.

I am going to join INS ICO, this is my first time so I researched it carefully. Maybe you should take a look. :D

What the fuck are you mean about ico mlm? sounds very strange if you are talking about the Ponzi like bitconnect or regal. and that coins just filled with a lot of the millionaire that they can generate the newmoney everytime. Not all of icos were including on the Ponzi.

I bought electroneum on its pre-ico sale and now my $1000 investment has a big loss.How about you?do you still want to invest in ICOs?

I have invested in just two ICO up till date and i make 50% plus interest on each ICO. I have read alot of stuffs on ICO on bitcointalk and i have discover that just few ICO usually last long without being dumped. so I do set target for myself ones i buy a token, I will wait until the token is listed on the exchanger site and continue to monitor the price per token. ones the price reach my target, I will sell it off. this is what I did for the two ICO i invested in. i dont wait until 1 token is sold for 10 USD. i set a target and go by it

You shouldn't judge all ICO's having one unfortunate investment. Though I started working with cryptocurrencies only in August I already invested in 6 ICOs and 4 of them (PRX, MTH, VIB, PPP) allowed me to increase my assets. I managed to sell them at x2-x3 price and then bouht again when they fell below ICO price. And I'm gonna hold them, because I believe in these projects.

Yes, I've invested.....even running our own NON-SCAM :-) ICO in 2 week at valhallacoin.com

But seriously, when doing due diligence:

Start with the team.

Are each of them on LinkedIn?
Do they list their affiliation with the company there (at least 75% of them should)
Have they worked for credible companies that you have heard of, and respect, in senior positions?
Now this is a BIG ONE: Do they have 500 or more connections?
Is there any one of them that REALLY stands out as SUPER-AWESOME (Advisor/Founder/Vitalik himself?)?? Great....Is it listed on that persons' linkedin? If not, PING the person on LinkedIn and ask them is their affiliation is real.


If the team is ex-Soviet.......red flag (bad pun I know). If there's no extradition treaties.....more likely to be a scam.....sad but the statistics bear it out.

The read the whitepaper......but due diligence on the team is maybe 10 mins and anyone can do it.....Whitepapers are sometimes too complex for many readers.

I have invested heavily in ICO projects but I have always chosen projects that can help me make a good profit and the projects that I think you should invest in right now are Specter, Utrust, Crypterium, Storm. These are full of potential and can definitely help you make a little profit

ICO is one of a way to make money or to grow money. with small investment you can earn high rewards from the increase of token price in the market. In fact, now ICOs price lower when released in the market. many ICO price drops in the market. I bought scl but the market of scl is under ICO price. recently I postpone to invest in ICO. I am looking for the best and promising ICO only.

To find the best and promising ICO's is difficult and will involve a bunch of efforts. I myself not too interested to invest on ICO's. For me, it is too risky.

I'm not a fan to invest in ICO. If I see a company promising, then why not?

I did notice that their website went offline a little bit and there wasn't that many people that want to invest in the coin because of that.It looks really unprofessional on their part.

Have recently decided to purchase several tokens of a developing MNW cryptocurrency (http://miningnow.online/). Found their terms really profitable. Especially the fact that I can receive a monthly profit and withdraw from the cooperation.

It is good to invest in ICOs and buy their token for a half of price from their pre-sale because when the ICO is success then it can make your investment double or even more, I have also investment in some ICOs but I have to make sure first if they were hit the market cap before to invest and it is sure profit.

For me ICO more like Gambling,
Even big companies make ICO doesnt mean we will get big profit.
but hey...i love gambling,thats why i join so much ICO...
few give me Big Profit , few just give me back my initial , and others end with scam... :D :D

So far, i never invested yet in an ICO because i don't know how to buy it in exchanges but my main prospect for now is Utrust and hoping someone will guide me how to buy it in a step by step way because i'm just a newbie in this crypto world! ;)

Yes i have invested in ico some months ago, i invested in taas and aragon. I choose taas because i like the dividend as passive income and i still have it now, already get my investment back usd wise with the dividend. I choose aragon because i like the business model. I don't invest ico now because i can't find the right one and i don't like the fact that they want to collect lots of money ay the beginning because the market can't support that kind of marketcap so early.

Yes, i invested in salt ico a while back, i thought it is a good project and decided to put some money in it. I was a bit afraid of scam possibilites as well but after i did some research i found nothing wrong and trust the project. They didn't dissapoint me and it is a good investment, already sold mine because my target price already reached.

I was interested in ICO projects since a lot of ico projects were very hot in September, but after the Chinese government ban the ico, I do not join in some ico projects easily, I think the risk is very high now and I prefer to buy some cheap tokens after it is trade-able.

Yes, I have only recently started investing in ICOs. My first one was UToken ICO. I am still looking for some more good ICOs.

I have invested in quite a few ICO projects and very fortunate that nearly 80% of my projects are successful and bring me a significant profit. I often research and monitor the ICO project I intend to make the right decision.

I participate in Crowdholding platform and now I am gaining YUPIE tokens! You sign up at the platform very easily and you choose a project to participate. Then you just leave your comments and get tokens for your comments!! https://www.crowdholding.com/newsfeed
So I don't know if it counts for investment but still I gained tokens :)

I have never invested in any ICO's but i want to learn more about them and probably invest in one in the near future!

Have a lot of . I'm investing in big projects like Crypterium, utrust, spectre These are projects that can help me make a good profit because they have a good community and professional development team.

Yes i did tried to invest on ico but the value of their coins are always decreasing into half after the release. I still prefer to hold bitcoins or work on bounty campaigns so i will not lose any of my profit.

you need to search better because there are many scam Ico. Regulation can be good in order to prevent scams ico project.
ı think projects with much details and crowded team members are reliable. anyway, it is better to be careful always.

yes i have invested in many icos my experience is good overall but some time it can ditch u with there returns or policies but i make huge profit from icos just go through white paper which help u allot in positive decision making and also clear almost hole possibilities of its growth and performance 

I have invested in a few ICOS, some were good, some were bad and some were really damn right ugly lol but with time and age, experience, things can get better. There are so amany good ICOS now to choose from but now I don't have any spare funds to invest as my hands are tied up in a few projects where their prices have fallen currently so cannot sell any off to recycle lol. I hope to be able to invest in more in the future.

I invested in some ICOs that in my opinion have good business model for this type of fundraising, for example subscription commerce when token can be used to pay for the product of the company. In this situation token has potential to be liquid and profitable. But also don't forget about reliability of the project it is also very important, today there are so many scams creating ICO. :'(

Invested several times and quite successfully. But it is very risky to invest money in projects as a lot of Scam and cheaper to buy tokens to exchange

If we can choose the right ICO then this will be very profitable. but like what you say there are so many ICOs doing fraud, so this is a very risky thing for me. if we are not good at analyzing then we could lose all the investment we have. this is the reason why some time ago the government was concerned about the development of ICO. maybe I also had time to realize that this decision is behind all this.

of the overall ico that there may be only 1-5 ICO alone that has a good future, I think a lot of ICO at this time that is less good and potentially deceptive.

Pertaing regulations, i think there is need for that in the ICO world. This will go a long way in consolidating the investors confidence in ICO investment

same here, the last time I invested in an ICO, the project is good, the project become successful, but suddenly, when it appears on the exchanges, its price is so cheap, and not able to make it to its ico price, so instead of having a profit, i lose some of it.

Yes I did.  Have bought some on LHCOIN (Lhcrypto).  The project is very feasible and promising.  It's a introduction of Larson&Holz an international brokerage to the cryptocurrency world.  The project is "back up" by a legit company so I'm sure there's no scam here.

Zen has an ico on nov 30th.

I have only invested in ETN as yet.

I have invested in some ICOs but most of them are just scams because i mostly invested in ICO when i am just newbie because i found it as a great place to spend my money but i didn't know that it is better research first so i just keep doing it until i found out that it is not working out so i just stopped it and i just spend my money in altcoins for long term.

Yes i did, i already invested some my money to Snovio and Wordcoin ICO so far, i believe they're very promising project and give me some profit next time...  :)

Iknew mos of the bounty hunters now are becoming more careful in choosing ico which is legit and potential one for real of course.
And in mya part most of profit actually came from the ico not directly into bitcoin.

I haven't invested in an ICO where I've made more than 100x my deposited amount. That money would be nice to have though.

This is not new in ICO tokens, expect that while the ICO is running there are many hypes and burst social media advertising and so as investors we think that this token is promising and the worst we buy again because we want a lot of profit afterwards. But the reality hits us when the token is listed in exchange and we got nothing but disappointed. Yeah before I'm a fan of ICO but now I stay away as long as I could.

Yes, a successful altcoin must have a well-established development team and a community-backed community culture, both indispensable. At the ICO, you should do both, too. Unfortunately, most ALTCOIN just posted an attractive PPT and a very rudimentary white paper when ICO finances it, and then nothing.

Hello from a person who has never invested in an ICO. I read up with much interest, and I will say that all of the news has increased my appetite to participate in an ICO for the first time. Yet, at the same time, all the bad news is holding me back. It would seem, in this case, regulation such as what looks like will happen in China, is the only way to help people like me so we do not get burned by our first experience.

I read yesterday how Confido disappeared. That is very frightening to me.

I never invest in ICO because every time ICO coins are listed in the market the price is usually below ICO price. Although they give the coin/token under ICO but when it has been listed on the exchange it will be under it again. I think many ICO projects have experienced it so I was afraid to invest in ICO projects.

it might be a scam and it might be legit, that's up to you to evaluate and decide, everyone has to do their own due diligence, which means that they should make sure the things the projects are saying they will do, that they are both feasible and that they make sense. There are so many projects that promise things that are impossible to implement and investors wonder after why they are losing the money when everyone dumps the coin. This short term mentality is really bad, people should get involved in a project at least one month before deciding to invest or buy into it. Read the whitepaper and try to understand whether what is written there is possible and if the team is able to implement the idea in the first place.

Yes I did. And you're right lots of scams or somehow not needed projects around.

by the PowerLedger way not badly shot during the last days, and still going upstairs, x3, bought a little over 6000, but I did not hear about the other ICO. It will be necessary to look. and at Fundcru looked, they something and a bounty some tears have allocated, but the project can and will shoot

I haven’t invested in an ICO. Yes, there are scams but that doesn’t mean investing in ICO is a waste of time and effort. There are still promising ICOs out there. Search ICOs on icorating.com and icobench.com. They may help you find ICOs with good ratings and projects. Those are a candidate of being successful.

I only invested in one ico so far and that is ong.social. Who knows if that was the best choice but I just liked the work they already did and how active they are in the community. I will hold the coins longterm. Normally I do not invest in icos because like mentioned from others many times, most of the time price drops hard at the beginning so often there is a good chance to
buy cheap. Another advantage of not investing in ico is that you are not putting your money at risk before there is even a tradable coin released on an exchange.

Yes, I took part in some bounty campaigns so I did not lose any of my money. I did some research work and I decided to try Mira. This pre-ICO will begin on November 27th. Here is the link to the announcement page https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2367768  and their bounty campaign https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2367916. Mira has a potential and I hope it will be successful

So far I haven't joined or invested in any ICO. The closest thing to participating in an ICO I did was to join some ICO's signature campaign back then. I am not sure if it can actually be considered as some sort of investing but that's the best I had, also the thing is I also got paid in BTC and not the coin they were developing. I guess maybe in the future I will look at ICOs, maybe if I find some really good projects.

Yes, I invested in the ICO. But my first project is still in development, because I did not have enough knowledge to choose a good project and I invested money in a team that did not have experience.

So they will soon have a sale, I will definitely participate, all who remember their history and how they transferred the sale understand this. I think that this is one of the best projects, not counting INS ECOSYSTEM. I participate in the company's bounty in selling tokens, try to buy more and get them, because the project is really good. But this is only my opinion.

As of now i haven't yet invested in an ICO because i am afraid to loose the money i will invest here in ico because my friends told me that there are many scam to invest for in ico, but for now that i haven't invested in am ico but i experienced to join some ICO signature campaign.

There are many ICOs out there, but most of them are just pure scams. Most of the developers remain anonymous and just runs away with your money. Some of the projects don't even have a working platform. And most of them gets dumped and dies.

Many times we just make baseless accusations! If you are asking in this section if people have invested in ICO, what kind of response are you expecting to get? Average contributor on this section of the firum wear signature! So go figure!

Well, it's certainly true that you wrote, but now again there is a great interest in ICO and you can make good money, of course it's better to go into the project at the pre-sale stage, but if there is no such possibility, then it is possible and in the main sale, I personally have a point a couple of good projects, I can share.
