When you are investing for ICO, how do you select them? What are the web sites you recommend for ICO reviews?

p.s.
If it is a separate category for ICOs, please move this to there

Before investing in any ICO you have to research about their development team, White paper, Roadmap and is there any real product they have been selling , and also you have to check that what problems they will solve from this ICO. And am giving some sites to research and get all information about particular ICO to invest in right ICO and avoid scams.Here is the list:
icoalert.com
crustcrypto.com
ICObench.com
ICORating.com
icobazaar.com
tokenmarket.net
icotracker.net

  I will advice you that pls study this all sites well before invest in any ICO because in the all above sites have much accurate and deep information about particular project.

I research the team by googling, their site, the code on github, whitepaper and technologies. Also it's good to look at the community. How often the team reply on slack or telegram groups. What the admins write.

I'm not investing my money to teams where "noname" developers or with doubtful program experience before the project.

I don't use any ratings of ICOs, cuz they can be paid. I check through a whitepaper of the project, check out on the web team members and their background, also look at the perspectives of the project. If everything is fine i think that the project is worth investing in it.

I think ICO can success because moderator. If we want to join an in ICO we must see profile the moderator. If the moderator can handle some ICO that means that ICO is good :)

right now I am beginning to feel a lack of confidence to invest in ICO because so many ICO problems like that are ICO scam or they have internal problems and make all their plans go awry so that it will be a loss for investors.

For me, just search ICO hotlist, ask a colleagues regarding their opinion, research about the coin, just be keen enough to notice the legitimacy. Observe in differents forums, including BTT , Redit, Crypto Facebook Groups, any media , as weel as twitter, and telegram, and the answer will rely on your knowledge and effort. Good luck in crypto hunting.

Can you recommend a great ICO company's Traide.io . I participated in a pre-ico and support this company , she has a bright future and great future ,the main effort of the developers and project team

interesting question, Im trying to find an answer sinse spring, when im at first time seen some ICOs and trying to invest my money. To be-or not to be?  Thats the question  ;D

or just here.
But your criteria are right.
For example, IQeon ICO solve a lot of gaming developer's and regular users (easy monetization of gaming achivements) problems

For an ICO with a coin/token that will last, try to find something that has a real utility. Not just another "I-can-do-it-too" coin.

A truly successful coin is one that can be used to fulfill a particular function, such as being the only currency that is accepted on some website.

Oh not to worry Mister. Here's your answer, they are extinct just like most of the volcanoes and the entire race of dinosaurs. There exists icos but not good ones. Shit ones exist now. I'd definitely suggest you to stay out of reach from these for your financial safety.There are better investments you can do ,rather in the secondary market instead of the primary ones. The choice is yours.

I'm always looking on those sites:
 https://icorating.com/
https://icorating.com/ico/
https://icobench.com/icos
Then study team, product, whitepaper, soft cup , total supply and  then I make my choice.

Look around in Bitcointalk to see what's going on with the ICO's out there.

They usually have people discussing about it in this website if it's announced on social media, forums, etc.

The last justified investment were in this spring. Nowdays I will not make the investments into ICOs, because the 90% of it is scam...

You're right, most coins that feature an ICO are looking to scam the investor...Especially since the price of Bitcoin is high now.

easy for this one , i'm already make huge profit from this review ico site,check this out
https://icoreview.site/

In recent days is not a good ico.
Ins and idex can be nice options to invest at these days. You can check icorating.com

I don't use any ICO websites cuz they may promote projects they are supporting. I'd rather choose project on my own. I check a whitepaper, look whether a team is professional and also think could the project be promising in the future. If everything is okay, I may invest in that project.

You need to check the whitepaper and the people behind the project. It will give you insights about the project and their long-term goals.

Icorate seems to be a recomended choice in my opinion. I was investing in the ico when the crypto looks stable. Remember i participate in the ico and got huge bonus. after the it wents to the exchange site and the price will be still in the ico price and that will be very profitable. That important thing to select the ico depend on the hype. Big hype means big interest.

In the beginning I look at the sites rating, then from which I liked carefully studying the command, white paper. And most importantly I study for what they need money, and how they will use them using blochain.

Instead of reading reviews do research yourself. Find out who is on the team? Who are the advisors? Is the whitepaper really good? How many investors? Are they solving a pressing problem?
I did my research and found Karma (https://tokensale.karma.red/) a p2p lending ecosystem. They offer loans for future delivery, they can sell their goods or services today and deliver them later.
The ICO is doing excellent reached 9.1 M USD and the goal is 10 M USD.

There is literary a flood of ICOs now and its hard to find the right one to invest in. You need to do a lot of research if you want to be sure you will have profit from investing.

I always read their whitepapers, and check them on their website, search them by google, and look their social media before i invest. Actually ı spend most of my time in this forum by searching ICOs. I am trying to find good ones. So it is not easy to find all the time and we should be careful there is lots of scam projects. we don't want to waste of our time and money with them.

There are several ICO countdowns and ICO tracker websites. You can check there and then you need to check the team and white paper, really important to know about the backgrounds of the coin

just wait people invest into it. If you see an ICO have more than 10 mil invested so you can make sure 70% it is a good ICO

This is not a right time in ICO investment. Because altcoins and Bitcoin are pumping in current trend so don't invest know. ICO alert.com is okay for the ICO updates. But before you should know the cryptocurrency strategy so you have wide knowledge in cryptocurrency is the only way to predict the good or bad. I am not invest in any ICO because I don't like if you trust me the ICO analyse the best time and best ICO.

What if you are late with that ? You will just lose your chance to invest in a new coin that has the potential. If you wait long sometimes the coin will increase in the value so you will just lose your money.

My way is to search everything about the ICO. Search about the team, whitepaper and the project. If they are all good and the first million tokens are sold you would be able to make a investment.

In my opinion, you must read a lot. And the proposital of the ICO is very important, because have a lot of ICO´s that´s no future, with a weak whitepaper.

Even if you help yourself with different sites that are reviewing ICOs, its really hard to guess the right value of specific project since now crypto is completely unpredictable.

I think it is useless , because, review websites owners get paid to post these reviews by ICO CEO .
Instead of this, I'd rather review'em  by myself ( an ICO must meet some criteria to be legit to invest in, I guess )

I find it difficult choosing the best ICO because a lot of them really has a good platform but only few keeps to have a good value after their pre ICO. I suggest if you want to invest you should keep track on your target ICO and make some sort of research I'm sure theres a lot of news regarding them that will help you to choose the best ICO to invest with.

as a bounty hunter, i always check the ico duration date if it will last or will have a short period of time ico. Then ill check the bounty that will given to signature campaigns. I also read the informations about their project and the roadmap where all important events like listing in exchange. The popularity of the project is also very important since some of the participants here are also good in finding a better ico

when ? Usually, we aim for big bonuses. So this is in the early weeks.
how to choose? there are many factors, and I thought this has been covered in many other threads. need to read the old thread.
site recommend? iconow.net for me, this is enough and complete.

ICOAlert is a rundown about up What's more coming, current, What's more as of late wound ICO’s. It is an extraordinary asset on find undervalued dependent upon Furthermore advancing CryptoCurrency that might a chance to be thick, as profitable later on. Without An doubt, ICO caution is those best far reaching rundown of ICOs. The website  has a variety of features that allow you to easily research these digital currencies.

There are many interesting projects in which one can invest almost without any fear.  According to my opinion, such projects seem to be reliable like Spective . Spective has a great concept, nice dev team and huge community support, that has a great future. Investing on Spective will be fruitful in near future. Before investing in any ICO you have to research about their development team, White paper, Roadmap and is there any real product they have been selling , and also you have to check that what problems they will solve from this ICO.

To select ICO in which to participate, I study this forum. Browse, companies. If I like the idea of the project, then I start to learn more about crew, news, roadmap. Some time watching the project. And if you see that it is well developed, then invest. But even in this case, the risks are still there.

Under normal circumstances, I will not trust anyone's recommendation. If I join an ICO, I will consider going over everyone on her team's list.

for me the best indicator is the experience of the founders...so I always do the research and then make a decision

I read more whitepaper them, there I can understand how the project is running and what are the benefits, maybe ICOs that put google ads or other ads can be a benchmark because with it they can attract many investors.

Sites are already named above. It is necessary to check the members of the team on the Internet. You need to carefully learn the white paper and road map. But this does not even provide an 80% guarantee that ICO will be successful. If you want to invest in ICO - this is a risk in any case.

Basically, we know an ICO probably from the marketing right. There is many ICO that is going on at the same time. We just need to see which team that offers the best marketing strategy. Then after that, we can research and analysis further about the project. So if we confidence enough and think it has a great potential then I will throw away my money.

First we should join ICO have demo. dont just believe and invest because they have a good idea. that not good at all. then we can see their marketing team work, exp....

There is an interesting article that I wrote on how to invest in ICO and also how to identify or shortlist good ICOs.

http://thecryptotrading.com/initial-coin-offering-quick-guide-ico/

Hope you guys like reading it. Let me know if anything in there does not make sense or needs to be updated.

First we should join ICO have demo. dont just believe and invest because they have a good idea. that not good at all.because some ICO can be  
spam....  you can identify good ICO by looking whitepaper and their roadmap..

First of all, it is important to know whether the ICO team depends on the spectrum, and secondly, whether the project has a promising future, as long as it is in a bull market, it can invest in the ICO.

I use ICOBench when reviewing an ICO and of course researching more about them. Sometimes reading their Whitepapers are more helpful so try it sometimes.

Thank you for your valuable ideas. hats off

Finding good ICOs is quite hard. It requires a lot of attention and ofcourse time. Reading their whitepaper, verifying if their strategy would work, and checking updates in their social medias . It makes one restless. Instead of spending your time with your family, you spend it for those. Note that you can only monitor few ICOs even if you spend whole day working on it. You are not a team like angel token-a group professionals that invest in undervalued tokens. Letting professionals do the work is much easier and profitable than you doing it alone with your health in jeopardy. Still, it's up to you whether you would consider this suggestion or not.

There is no such standard website for a good ICO.
They are just a source of ICO info.

The real thing here is you should at least have some crypto friends, in that way you can have their deas regarding that certain ICO.
Secondly, forum has a lot of PRO that will guide you through some crypto advice.

As for yourself, you should at least confirm for yourself whatever they suggest so that you will learn eventually how to research a good coin. Hope this helps

I recommend you to look for PINCOIN. https://pincoin.io/

Have a good day!

You can also read other people's opinions, which sometimes point out things that others have overlooked. There are various websites where you can get information about ICOs:

https://www.cryptocompare.com
https://www.coinschedule.com
https://icobench.com
https://icodrops.com
https://icobazaar.com
https://icowatchlist.com
https://icoholder.com
etc...

These websites simply summarize things that were said in the whitepaper. You will want to focus on the comments below to get a feel of how the public feels about it. Also, read through the entire Announcement thread here on Bitcoin to get other opinions.

With that said, don't rely solely on other opinions. People often cry "scam" for anything that is unclear to them. It might be a simple misunderstanding or miscommunication on the part of the team, so then their claims won't hold as much water.

I had gone through some ico reviews sites and seems the giving different rating. So it is not easy to pick ico only looking at the ratings. So we have go through the white paper as well.

Hello!
You can take a look at ico.echat.io this project is highly determined to solve the centralisation of social media and make it totally decentralised using blockchain technology.
At the moment, you can download eChat messenger app on play store for Android and iOS

you can start reading every concept they display from the web. many understanding to do study in studying ico. I guess you should spend some time and look for referrals for knowledge about ico education. this is great for your experience and understanding. Essentially you have to get involved and find out. good luck

I'm looking at company reviews, I estimate through sites with a rating  read other people's thoughts about the company

its ok

You have to study white paper, roadmap of implementation of project and team behind it. There are many sites who review new ICO's, you can also check their reviews and decide.

I'm always interested in the team and the people who organize it...it works for me

It is possible to look at own researches of other investors, for example, Ian Balina. But it is necessary to approach information carefully, to consider a possibility of the paid public relations. It is necessary to look for information on other resources and to compare it.
Several articles for a start as a management:
https://hackernoon.com/a-primer-on-how-to-identify-fake-icos-af5411aa75e4
https://hackernoon.com/an-investors-guide-to-the-four-kinds-of-icos-62ecae8fc85d
https://medium.com/@afakedesigner/how-to-scam-people-with-your-ico-5bf53365d31c

You need to read white paper unswrstand all the project to avoid bad ico. But not all ico are bad so that just choose wisely and be careful.

I think ICObench is good. But it's best to gather a lot of information then you can weigh them yourself.

I think the most important thing is the Team. I first check the team and ther experience. Then I read carefully the Whitepaper.
So before investing you must research about their Team and White paper. You have to check also the Roadmap to find out when you will get your investment back.

Spend time to make research about their ICO before you invest, It will give you clearer vision about their platforms, roadmap , and solid team members. Get involve also in their telegram discussion to answer all your queries and other important matters on their project, best wishes and goodluck:)

Do not depend on the reviews of others, tho it is another basis in choosing a good ICO. Anyways, you should put enough time researching about a certain project and digest their whitepaper, do a background search for the project's team too. If it is all good, then you can invest on it.

Listing for ICOs are many on the Internet. You have to make sure the white paper, the roadmap, the team and the product they are promoting.

Also, it is important to see in what they are going to invest the funds. What is the product and its purpose?
