Let me ask you this... if you promote an unlisted "cryptocurrency" that says it's going to get listed but after some months they are not...then there is something wrong with it and its leadership.

I know of one coin that is promising to get listed but until now it is not. For the information of all concerned, getting listed is not actually a mission impossible, it isn't hard to do that.  Clubcoin was registered in a few short weeks. FirstCoin was also registered fast. And yet some are still promoting coins that months have went by and it's still not listed! There was one owner who shared information with me and promises to deliver proof of trading in 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, their coin is still unlisted.

This is quite odd. Once we don't get proof,  we should walk away while most other guru's kept on promoting and getting paid for months and months while they haven't even attempted to get their coin listed. Are they kidding me? Promoters can be greedy but I guess we have to have some iota of ethics here. You can just be ruining your reputation in the process because of the promises not kept! Who does want to be following a leadership who can't do what they talk about? Unfortunately, there are those who refused to acknowledged that they might be promoting scams in the first place.

What is worse is that some have the temerity to be talking  bad about one program when they are actually promoting bad ones themselves. Maybe they should be warning their prospective clients that the coin is not yet listed and that it has no plans of being listed...when dealing with other people's money there has to be some honesty and frankness and no more hypes...we are all tired of hypes stop bringing that to cryptocurrency. It is imperative that we do our research and only promote companies that are real and in it for the long haul! We owe that to ourselves and the people who might believe on us!

People seem love to get profit and dont care about what others lost. I have lost my investment for Bitbase. That a bad project but lots of people promote it. I dont know what to do now.   >:(

Well, I am very new to the cryptosphere. I am very overwhelmed with all the new coins, ICOs etc.

What would you say is the "safest" way to approach a new coin? (I know there newer is a guarantee that the dev`s won`t disappear after they got their planned cap as mentioned ;)) but at least to be a little sure to spot the amateur scams at least  ;D

An active developer team is a must, contactable, and fast replying. There are thousands of altcoins, and even more ICOs coming up, and not all of them are 'good coins', and it is up to us to discern it from the bad coins. It is near impossible for bad coins to be stopped from being promoted, as they can do however they want, and there's no way to tell a coin that it is scam, unless it is really low effort.

ICOs and altcoins are an 'investment', so there are risks involved. What I look out for myself is novelty, reasonable intentions, and like I mentioned before, active team members in the ICO.  8)

Verify (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2374729.0) is currently a promising project that I am looking, so you can take a look at it, as it is about targeting the eCommerce and Blockchain market, using escrows, trust and reputation, something you see very often here in the lending and selling sections of the forum. :)

I have to say you have a harsh view of things, but I feel you are right, partially.

If a coin says it will get listed but doesn't, this isn't necessarily a sign of bad leadership. Some coins find out after negotiating, there's a sudden big price tag on listing. Is it worth it or not? And since they're not in full control of listing (up to exhcnages in the end and how quickly they respond) we can't always fault the coin.

But we can teach them to be more realistic with expectations, not to blow hype and hot air before anything is solid. We can look and support projects that keep their promises simple, and fulfil their words.
