Title: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: CBJon on December 04, 2017, 02:05:10 PM Help me with your opinion.
We’re having an argument over whether it’s better to show cumulative funding goals in an ICO or token sale doc. Does it: a) give you more reassurance they know what they’re doing and have a roadmap b) not make a difference to your opinion c) negatively influence your opinion d) something else E.g: CUMULATIVE FUNDING TARGETS - MILESTONES $ 1M Development of advertiser transactional advertising blockchain & member wallet $ 2,2M Development of marketplace & core market expansion $ 3,75M Development of native ad engine & core market expansion (Q3 2018) $ 6,90M Launch of native ad engine & core market expansion (Q4 2018) $ 8,95M Debit card integration & core market expansion (Q1 2019) $ 11,6M Launch debit card (Q2 2019) Additional funds raised will be used to accelerate customer acquisition through Digital, Television & In-Market Activations.

Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: 13abyknight on December 04, 2017, 02:28:18 PM Well lets step into the reality that most of these ICO projects never come close to delivering when it comes to the forecasted progress on their respective roadmaps and some of them abandon the project even after a successful fundraise in the ICO. About tokens without a roadmap, don't even bother investing in them.
Either ways, a majority of the recent projects fall off in price after the ICO and find it extremely difficult to gain traction going in their favour as there are way too many choices to choose from and all the pump and dump scenarios still ongoing, which impacts it negatively.

What metrics do you use to define shit token vs worthwhile project? I look at mass adoption / disruptive capability / network effect / new tech what about you?

Do you think most ICO's drop in value because of internal issues or are they targeted for pump/dump? I come from a penny stock trading background and more than often I've seen groups target small stocks, buying them up and then dumping. It's not the listed company, but rather day traders.

If it's premined it's shit so ICOs and tokens are inherently shit and taking steps backwards in crypto by being centralized and poorly distributed imo. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: Commitments on December 04, 2017, 10:29:23 PM I look foward their team and who backup in monetary terms the project besides us as investors.
Because If I can't confirm the ICO's is real and has interest on what they are doing I won't be investing my money. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: kingvirtus09 on December 05, 2017, 02:03:45 AM Actually read their whitepaper and then Looking into roadmap is what i wanted to see. Their allocation budget for their project and how much they have raised before the ICO token.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: pageraji on December 05, 2017, 07:54:22 AM look at team member, they are real people or not, are the ICO have a real business, on which market, and its really working or not in future business?
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: allanr on December 05, 2017, 10:20:53 AM Some ICO turn your money to crap some of them really success and make you rich like rich xD. As long you choose it right you'll be ok, i mean read their WP take a look for team details make sure real project happened
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: CBJon on December 05, 2017, 10:25:16 AM Yes, that's a good start. What kinds of things do you look for in a white paper? What flags a good project / bad project?
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: Riddikulo on December 07, 2017, 09:36:26 PM look at team member, they are real people or not, are the ICO have a real business, on which market, and its really working or not in future business? When the pre-sale or sale of tokens is announced, I always make my personal investigations about the company - check their profiles in social nets, look at their experience on Linkedin, find information about them online and in mass media. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: swissgang on December 07, 2017, 09:51:34 PM I look the team, project and price. These three should be evaluated together to invest in a ico or token. Ico price also matters

Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: erickkyut on December 07, 2017, 10:54:45 PM These are the things that I consider before buying altcoins or tokens:
1. The Technology. What does it can offer that the other coins/tokens doesn't have? It should be unique with others. 2. The Roadmap. Do they have an achievable roadmap? Something that is realistic on their short term to long term goals. 3. The Developers. Who are the people behind this project? They should be individuals that have good background in their own field of expertise and should be trustworthy. These are the basic things/knowledge that I'm looking for before I invest in coins or tokens. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens?

If we talk about prospective tokens, then at least a minimum of one year they just need to be kept on a purse, And then you can trade when your wife is several times more than when you hold ico.Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: KLACC on December 07, 2017, 11:02:26 PM I'm very carefully studying the project, to which I plan to invest. I'm especially interested in the development team and the road map. And I never believe the reviews, especially if they are positive)
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: CBJon on December 08, 2017, 09:00:48 AM I'm very carefully studying the project, to which I plan to invest. I'm especially interested in the development team and the road map. And I never believe the reviews, especially if they are positive) That's a good point. I see so many hyped ico's that it bothers me that you can't really believe much of what's said. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: Minor Miner on December 08, 2017, 09:06:09 AM I'm looking at the idea of the project. If it seems interesting and promising to me, then I make a research about it. If everything seems well I invest in. But now there are very few projects with good ideas which can be released into reality...
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: housebtc on December 08, 2017, 09:11:03 AM I believe people have wised up in the space, so I don't see this getting any traction, why is the name of the project not displayed. I don't think this project need that much capital looking at the road map

I think the key element to a successful ICO or Token is the team! If the ICO has no team then the ICO will not operate successful and will not work in the long run. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: pksingh on December 08, 2017, 09:36:53 AM Look for true innovation.
Don't buy usual finance cases as true business cases. Invest in improving the world. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens?

Post by: mautenisis on December 08, 2017, 11:03:04 AM The developers will still be the big factor if the coin will survice its ICO,theres a lot of ICOs with promising projects but ending up failed.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: PANK21 on December 08, 2017, 11:27:44 AM First you must look in their website , if the website is amazing and has a great display it means that the team really is working hard for their project and also look for the hard and soft cap of the ico for better decisions.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: joselitobayagbag on December 08, 2017, 11:30:06 AM Good developers and good product presented in ICO,if they dont have these two dont invest on it.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: Iyhen on December 08, 2017, 11:38:54 AM We almost consider everything about them. Roadmaps, awards, projects, etc. this things helps us to measure whether the ICO really do great and the tokens are growing consistently. Also an organizs set of team and great advisers add to the reputation of the whole ICO, if the team is a set of shitty team well most likely i don't want to get involve with them.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: CarlosRea on December 08, 2017, 12:56:27 PM First of all, you start with a background check. Look into the team, advisors, roadmap and main investors. Make sure they are here to solve a problem and have a future doing so. I discovered Karma (https://tokensale.karma.red/) a p2p lending platform. The Karma app is decentralized and it executes on different servers. The ICO has been a success, reaching to 3.6 M USD. When buying tokens you'll get a 15% discount.
Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: roganite on December 08, 2017, 04:14:27 PM Personally I look into :-
a) The concept - Does it actually do something that is needed? Why are they creating a token? b) The team - Is it strong in all areas (Not just developers, but marketing and strong leaders to steer the project) c) The numbers - Amount of issued coins, finite amounts, how they are splitting the allocations d) The white paper - Needs to be professional, have they put thought into this? Do they know where they are going? Finally recently I have been attracted to ICO's that have some sort of a working product, I love the idea that I have the concept as well as the ability to actually access what they are trying to create. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: Luigi_LP on December 08, 2017, 06:09:00 PM The first things that I look in a project is the team, then the other important things are the idea, and then also all the economics details.
I'm following a project called Gilgamesh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2162600.msg21654565) that imho has strong basis Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: pksingh on December 11, 2017, 08:22:56 AM Can someone review our pre-ICO for bounty?
TIM Bounty (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2561276.msg26096440#msg26096440) Many Thanks & Enjoy the participation. Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: alttravel on December 11, 2017, 08:38:25 AM 1. check their profiles in social nets
2. look at their experience on Linkedin 3. find information about them online and in mass media. 4. I read white paper 5. I carefully study the site Title: Re: What do you look for when buying into new ico’s /tokens? Post by: SanZoldyck on December 11, 2017, 09:16:42 AM we know now that ICO is now starting up a lot and getting started everywhere but we have to choose a good ICO for the future, and if I think I will choose ICO with a nice and interesting RoadMap and a definite Whitepaper with the intention of the ICO ;)
