What is the best platform to build a ICO? Neo or Ethereum?

NEO (NP5) > ERC20 !

I think NEP5 eill slowly take over ECR20. Neo is much faster with low fee and less scalability.

All depends what are you aiming for these two are not the only platforms you have lisk,waves etc. As it goes neo have smart economy view and are focused on the future. Tho NEO is working close to the government so question is around anonymity there. But it can be interesting because China will look into regulating some part of it.

NEO is an upgraded version of ETHERUM which makes NEO ahead on almost everything,that is why it is being called the chinese ethereum.ERC20 might eventually replace by these new and improved NEP5 neo based coins.But either of the two has good platform to use,it only depends on your point of view.But for me NEO has more advance technology than ethereum so i prefer the NEP5 tokens.

I think that both will exist together for a long time. Stellar platform is pretty god for ICOs too. For now Im a big fan of NEO platform - NEX, Effect and Bridge protocol ICOs look very promising. NEO is the sleeping giant of 2018.

In the longer term i believe nep5 will overtake erc20 as the technology and fees for NEO make it better for launching ICO and other coins. The only problem at the moment is the lack of choice for good wallets for NEO. Right now there is the official one, or NEON wallet which is good but we could do with a few more that offer nep5 support anyway.

I really believe NEP5 will surpass ERC20 in the long run if Ethereum won't upgrade their scalibity and transactions their are platforms that will surpass ETH in the long run. I'm a Big fan of NEO hope it will last forever.

NEO platform is fairly new but in the long run it might take over Ethereum's smart contract platform. Sure we will see a big competition there. Right now we don't know how successful NEP5 tokens will be, but we already know ERC-20 tokens are very successful. This competition is healthy and good for everybody. It makes better products for both side.

That's why you don't even read the latest economic whitepaper and a new roadmap of ethereum platform. Ethereum will move to hybrid system, raiden,plasma and especially sharding blockchain to compete with visa scalabilty with million transaction in minute.  ::)

 :'(

for today i still believe ERC20 Still dominating on the cryptocurrency.
but overtime if they don't made any change that's be surely can be replaced by NEO.
and basically I still have faith to Ethereum. if they made this transaction more cheaper and fast,
I guest they are will be the best crypto technology on this blockchain era.

The success and ease of ERC20 is for the moment ahead but the future holds surprises for us 8)

ERC20 still is pretty dominant. Another good option is the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange. They're a token sales platform and exchange. https://t.me/GBXCommunity

Doesn't it cost something like 490 GAS to run an ICO on NEO? That seems like a pretty huge barrier to entry. Something to keep in mind.

The high gas requirements is their barrier for scammers to run ICO from NEO. only a serious company will run ICO on NEO and this is good for the investor and even the NEO blockchain itself.

ERC20 is for Etherum based project and NEP5 is Neo based project. Currently ERC20 have more project on it's chain compare to NEO. Having more project means they are doing something right that made projects to chose them over NEP5. ALmost all the ICO I have come across 9 out of 10 is ERC20 based. Maybe that would change in the future but now ERC20 is still the leader.

Yes I will agree with you for what you are saying.NEO is good but Ethereum was the best cryptocurrency that next to bitcoin.But for me it is depend on us if what is our favorable for that two cryptocurrency.The important is NEO and Ethereum are exist in coinmarketcap and has a way to grow just like bitcoin.

does BTC have an ERC20 analog in the works?  it seriously needs that.

Are you from China? As we all know that NEO is a Chinese coin.
Do remember that Ethereum & Vitalik is always the KING!!

I still belive in good old ERC20 it keeps dominance and I'm sure that the great team that stay behind it will solve the recent problems that were uncovered with cryptokitties. NEO is still good and the competition is always usefull but even now it is still a bit overpriced because of low amount of projects based on it.
Most of the legit ICOs have too small initial capital that don't have money for ads and they beg websites to place their ads / post their articles with token payment or let them delay payment till the pre ico. High gas price will also hurt legit ones.

Although ERC20 is the leader, NEP5 is catching up fast. Ethereum has the first mover advantage and it is natural that many ICO launch on ETH blockchain, but there were also many dubious/scam project that vanished into thin air after the ICO.
ICO projects on the NEO platform have been performing very well, and they even get listed very fast on Kucoin!
I believe both will co-exist and both will adapt and grow with the changing landscape.

i think NEP5 platform slowly getting place of ERC20 platform

Looking at the top 100 tokens on CMC ...

Ethereum - 92
Omni - 3
Neo - 3
NXT -1
Ardor -1

Ethereum is dominating, but I do think they are getting outclassed technology wise by the new comers.  Ethereum needs to scale and update.

By NEO? What about ETC? That's real faith in Ethereum. You mentioned transactions being cheaper and faster.... Ethereum Classic accomplishes this.

The ERC-20 token is staged for an identity crisis. With the new regulations in the United States, the  hype around new developments  (https://medium.com/scandinavian-cryptocurrency-exchange/the-creation-of-a-classic-sccex-etc-investment-thesis-8424026d6b8a) I suspect classic is on the edge of greatness.

I think NEP5 may be better, because there are many ICO projects based on NEO, and the transfer speed of NEO is fast, and the transfer fee is 0, which is better than ETH.

This is determined by the degree of acceptance.
The ecosystem of neo has developed very well recently, but I still think people will still publish token on ERC20 in a short time, rather than NEP5.
ETH, after all, has a broader supporters than NEO, while NEO supporters are mostly in China and Brazil.
The conclusion is that NEO may catch ETH in the future, but ETH is hard to surpass.

If for now I prefer to use wallet that supports ERC20, because it is more popular than NEO. But we don't know in the future, it is possible if NEO can compete with ERC20. NEO should continue to developing, if it wants to like ERC20.

https://themerkle.com/what-is-erc827/amp/ (https://themerkle.com/what-is-erc827/amp/) ethereum is already working on something new. We can't talk about which one is better, both are probably good and for now more icos are made on ethereum platform. Neo Chinese ethereum will be better for Chinese and Asians maybe, but ethereum will find its place in US and Europe one mkre great article https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-ethereumization-of-wall-street-is-inevitable-expert-take (https://cointelegraph.com/news/the-ethereumization-of-wall-street-is-inevitable-expert-take) if you see it good then you know Ethereum can be taken by another, more advanced platform. But for now, it makes more than 80 percent of the market. Out of the 580 tokens out there, 475 are on the Ethereum Blockchain. There is a nice graphic there, take a look on this articles and you then make your conclusions, for now ethereum is more adopted then any other platform, will they continue to dominate we will see.

Well, I never encountered an ICO that build on Neo (NEP5) platform and just know this NEP5 by now reading this topic and some replies. I think ERC20 is a classic one to build an ICO but if there's one thing that could overtake of it then it might be this new platform I guess. Never doubting ERC20 but they have better branding in terms of ICO.

NEO and Ethereum has indeed solid platforms which offers both smartcontracts and decentralized app,either of the two would be okay to use but if you are looking for a future proof platform that would be NEO,because neo is an upgrade version of ethereum's platform.

If NEP5 is better then ERC20, why so much ICO's create on ERC platform? Maybe it seems that ERC is better?

Either of the two would be good to use if you are planning to create your cryptocurrency,but if you are looking for the future prooft platform choose neo as it has more advance technology than ethereum's platform.

I think ERC20 tokens will run and will be the #1 as always. There are a lot of ICOs that uses the ethereum blockchain for smart contracts.

indeed it is NEP5. much faster and cheaper than the ERC20 tokens  build on ETHEREUM blockchain.. ethereum developers need to solve the scalability issue

I don `t know why, but I will choose ERS-20. Maybe because it's more popular, because the tokens on the ETH platform seem to be using more and more people. So I think that it's probably ERC-20.

yes i am still using ERC-20. They are very popular on the bitcointalk forums and are really needed for bounty.
Most ICO projects require bounty ERS-20 so they can send money to us. NEP-5 is a really strange name and very few people use it. I do not really trust NEP5. The ERC-20 is a great choice for good security.

NEO has a better platform than ethereum,so if you are looking for a future proof platform choose neo platform,NEP5 will definitely replace erc20 tokens the future,but if you have used erc20 tokens for your project that would be okay for now because ethereum is dominating the market.

Ethereum, the popular cryptocurrency and blockchain system, is based on the use of tokens which can be bought, sold, or traded. There are several different tokens which may be used in conjunction with Ethereum. One of the most significant token standards of all for Ethereum is called ERC-20, which was developed about a year and a half ago. and
NEP5 tokens run on the NEO blockchain (such as RedPulse, Qlink, DeepBrain, etc). NEP5 describes the standard that these tokens conform to. They are all “built” following the same set of “rules”, allowing them to operate on NEO.

NEP5 is really nice cause its really cheap and fast to transfer tokens. You only need to hold GAS
but for ERC20 its little expensive. Sometimes its really too expensive to transfer.

the erc20 standard is more common now, as for me it is more convenient, although fee is slightly biger

The Neo platform has recently started releasing the ethereum. The resulting projects were also much more preferable because they were better quality and intelligent than the ethereum.

And what will happen next. China is very actively promoting this coin. This year, a lot of startups will take place on the platform Neo. Neo has a great future, I think

NEP5 neo based tokens are far more better than erc20 tokens of ethereum,what i like about neo's platform is,it has better and improve technology than ethereum's platform.NEO is very undervalued coin in the market but either of these two platforms would be okay to use,for me NEP5 would be my choice because it is a future proof-platform.

There is no doubt ERC20 is the best now for so many reasons, it is easy to use for both investors and exchange intergrattion, NEP5 is picking up and we are seen more exchanges getting familiar with the platform. I am very bullish on NEO this year if the Crypto space will continue its growth NEO will be one of the main drivers of the growth

NEP5! slowly taking over the erc20 tokens, in addition, NEO has better wallet than erc20 like myetherdelta.
i have no against with myetherdelta but as i started using NEO Wallet i can tell that i have better wallet there than MEW.
and the gas is really amazing on how it is working and you can have free gas with just having NEO coin.

NEO looks promising, but ETH has a big market lead and has already overcome a number of challenges.
We need to be careful about making assumptions of long-term viability based on current state of each coin. Both (and any good crypto) are under constant development and refinement. ETH has scalability issues, but they are actively moving to overcome these - take a look at the roadmap.

I think that both ETH and NEO will be successful, and there is certainly room for more than one of these platforms.

NEO is a better platform to launch an ICO due to its scalability and low transactions fees and fast transactions block confirmation. ETH has some issues with its high transaction fees and how easily it's network gets clogged and congested during a heavy ICO rush. But due to the fact that ETH is already successful and is massively known, it still has an edge over NEO. But I'm sure when NEO gains popular and successful, more tokens will be launched on its platform.

I used both platforms, but since I'm a small trader, NEO suits me more because of a smaller fee and a way faster than Ethereum

In this situation, I'll probably choose the protocol ERC-20, like many here. I have not heard anything about NEP5, although probably it's something known, I just did not hear anything about it. But that's how I am

To me, the neo platform will be used more with time.So I do my investments on the neo platform.I keep neo coin in my wallet.Ethereum will collapse with time.

NEP5 could replace ethereum's erc20 based token because NEO has far more advanced platform than ethereum's platform.Clearly NEO's developers are starting to make move in the community more and more altcoins are being in NEO's platform,but these two are the most powerful platform you can use today either of the two would be ideal for your new projects but if you are looking for a future proof platform,choose NEO/NEP5 tokens.

There are pros and cons of each platform, if you are a big trader, then you'd better use erc20, because the NEO is more centralized and vulnerable on state regulation

This will certainly be the case. Neo has already tried new peaks. This coin feels good this year.

actually all good, but we do not know NEO for long term. better to use ERC20 first

if you are considering for short-term investment, the erc20 is much more popular now. neo is a long term investment and can stay in these levels for a few more months in price. everyone agrees that it promises a great future :)

It is better to use NEP5 people are used to ERC20 and personally i use to pick ERC20 over NEP5 before but since i have used a token built on NEP5 i have fallen in love with NEP5.

Now Erc20 is the best. But this year NP5 token will be more profitable than erc20. Because NP5 have a big community ( China ) If China's goverment find a solution of crypto currency,it will be moon

Ethereum seems the best but only because it is just the one that people are most familiar with. I think you can find so many developers now freelancing on several sites and even here. They can give you exactly what most ICOs need, which is ERC20 token.

You have NEO, you have Waves and Stratis among others. Actually all are cheaper and at the moment can handle so much more transactions but then people just do not know about them yet. Once these are used and people move on and realize how easy they are, it will not be about which is better but which is easier to exchange.

Personally, I support erc20, code development progress and popularization degree, erc20 are better than nep5 too much, the most important thing is the eth price is neo is more stable, so tokens, prices will also be more stable, more to protect the interests of investors.

NEO really drags the market very quickly. I think after some time the percentage of ICOs that will go out on NEO platform will increase and equal to the ERC20

Ethereum is only one leader with huge community, really well documentation and wide range of use cases at the moment

I always prefer Ethereum token but Neo token are also good one very less are coming in market in compare to Ethereum

Love the optimistic view for both.

A good competition indeed. But if you will pick now, then it will be better with ERC20 since it is popular and easier. Small investors will be having a hard time of you go to other competitor. They will need to have knowledge with it and it is like being a brand new investors.
Popularity, usage and advertising will be needed for it to grow.
Success of the ICO will still have a larger percentage in ERC20 for now.

My opinion is that ERC-20 in 2018 will also remain in its positions . But on the sly replaced will decide a new project more successful

Ethereum vs NEO, this question has asked every day and not on this forum only. My view that Ethereum at the moment is better, but NEO has great potential, but it is just potential at the moment.

Waves and Stratis are midgets compared to Ethereum. If waves had 1/10 of Ethereum transactions it wouldn't go anywhere, Stratis is even slower.

Everything runs fast with only a few transactions on it.



On the NEO vs ETH debate. If Chinese government decides to support it and not VeChain the price will grow. But globally NEO has no chance of coming anywhere near Ethereum. Ethereum has much more visibility, money and much, much better developers.

I think in the long run I really believe nep5 will overtake erc20 because the technology and cost of NEO make it better to launch ICO and other coins. The only problem at the moment is the lack of choice for a nice wallet for NEO. Currently there are official, or a nice NEON wallet but we can do with some more that offer nep5 anyway.

Of course NEO is better platform than Ethereum so it's better to choose it. But Ethereum is the most recognizable platform for now.

both doing very similar things, I think they will co-exist for a while.

NEO is going to have a great year with all it's ICOs.

Ethereum team need to fix there fées i l'ost more than 150$ cuz fées with transaction error

I think it's worth adding both coins to the portfolio. Because NEO has a great potential and the price is 8 times lower so far than that of the ETH.

At NEO it is not possible to make a fork or hard fork.  This happened with ETH in the past.  In addition, there are many arguments in favor of the fact that NEO is many times greater than ETH.  As soon as NEO developers create more convenient and safe wallets, as well as exchanges for trade NEO \ Fiat and other infrastructure, we will see how the NEO will overtake ETH and many other projects.

From what I see now, NEO is taking over. And that's a good call :)

I disagree, I love NEO too, but Ethereum has proven and quite successful as an ICO Platform. Ethereum also lauched its new platform, ERC233. https://medium.com/kinfoundation/the-new-erc223-token-standard-8dddbf1a5909 I think it will change the game again.

This two was nice to build platform of an ICO but for me I will choose ERC20 Ethereum because it is more eligible for an ICO project filled up form and in terms of donation to make ICO Project successful.Aside from that, Ethereum was the second list of cryptocurrency that conduct a large type of value price with next to bitcoin acceleration.It creates a big impact especially after conversion of tokens to Ethereum which directed to bitcoin and declares into fiat as our income.This is only my thought and experience base on the different compaigns I have joined to make me succeed what I'm here now.

I think both will co-exist and dominate the ICO scene in next 2-3 years.
You are right about NEO, it's cheaper and faster... for now. But few thousands ICO's are already based on ECR20.

For my own opinion I will choose ERC20 which most popular in terms of an ICO Bounty Project.NEP5 is good but i was more comfortable of ERC20 for donating and investing project.

NEP5 Better. Because it's faster, safer. It just needs some time. Bigger places will come. Some patience
