Title: Re: Is ICO scam or not? Post by: apimembership on February 18, 2018, 10:50:31 PM How to understand is ICO scam or not? What criteria I have to look at? Thanks! There can be lots of criteria. I can just remind some of them. 1- Look their domain registration, expration date from whois.net . Generally scammers just create a domain for 1 year in 1 month (You will need more proof with this.It can't prove directly, it is scam or not. It can just give additional info) 2- Look at their team. Are their team anonymous? Do they have real contact info and names? 3- Search them on google. (Maybe you can find beneficial info such as a person warns about that ICO or sth) 4- Look at their whitepaper. Do they have one or do they just copy another whitepaper or does their whitepaper look like messy? 5- What is their purpose and what did they achieve for this goal? You can think more like these. I can't directly say if a ICO has any of this term, it s scam but at least it can make me think twice. Title: Re: Is ICO scam or not?

1) I would add that checking the LinkedIn profile of the ICO funders/team is key Some of the LinkedIn profile are complete scam even though they look great on paper - You can spot scam profile by the numbers of connections these profiles - that's a way to do it. 2) Whitepaper is needed indeed - KodakOne is a great example, they have no white paper Title: Re: Is ICO scam or not?

In my opinion, if we have doubts about one of these points, we should not invest. Title: Re: Is ICO scam or not?
