Title: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Kippah on March 02, 2018, 03:23:42 PM Many of you are asking this question. Many of you spend hours researching new ICO projects, reading forums trying to find the proper information, get the knowledge and make the right move. I am sure you are already aware that it is not the most efficient way. It takes time and all of us have to do the same ground work over and over again separately. Of course there are rating websites, which tell us what the best ICOs should be but after reviewing 120 projects myself I had very different views on most of the ICO rated as the best ones. Of course you can discuss with others on the forum but almost no one there does exhaustive and systematic research on ICOs, so lot of info but may not be relevant or very much biased by one’s opinion. ICO investors need to protect themselves and unfortunately, ICOs are still largely unregulated so we cannot expect that somebody else will search for and punish “bad apples”. So we decided crypto community needs a proper Due Diligence project based on the knowledge of you all. We would like to build it from the ground up and we are open to any comments, suggestions and ideas. However first we need to know, how you guys actually screen ICO projects, what you look at and what you maybe neglect. So that we can focus our attention on those things. If you fill in this survey you will help us understand exactly that. We are doing this for the community, to create better, accurate and independent ICO reviews. https://tilburglawschool.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sCWmLd0wY1OK3P Let’s discuss first how you screen ICO projects and what exactly you look at! Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: MoonIsBlue on March 02, 2018, 04:00:00 PM Those rating websites are full of it and completely unreliable. I always start out checking how much they want to raise cause if it is too much I can move on without wasting time reading everything. If they raise an amount I can stand with then I start looking at their team, if I don't like it then I move on to another ICO. If I like the team I start reading their problem solution or whatever their USP is and then everything else.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: xiaohang07 on March 02, 2018, 04:03:18 PM Agree. It is really hard to find reliable ICO review sites. And if you would like to get some insider view, you probably need to pay for it. I recommend cryptobrifing.com to you. It seems to be a legit site to provide high quality reviews.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: CryptoAlphaStar on March 02, 2018, 04:04:42 PM These ICO rating sites are everything else but rating sites. Most of them are paid for featured spots. Experts are not experts. Some bots give random ratings. Awful service. Don't use them. Zero value in them.

So how do you screen the projects? Do you do it by yourself and if so what do you look at? Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: ico_dna on March 04, 2018, 11:43:35 PM Well, there is a more or less comprehensive list here.
https://medium.com/@reviewcryptos/ultimate-ico-checklist-how-to-check-an-ico-3585ce3408c7 This post is okay, too. https://medium.com/birds-view/cryptoassets-a-crowd-sourced-evaluation-due-diligence-framework-98b921c82731 But. The spreadsheet cites Argon Group as "best in class service provider". The guys who did Blockchain Capital, lol. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Wylie330 on March 04, 2018, 11:59:21 PM First I will look at the project itself. If it has a good objectives that will help our economy to improve. Second I consider the team if they are true to their profile posted on their website. I analyze if they are really in capable of making the project possible.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: NeedNoFee on March 05, 2018, 12:00:22 AM I really invest in ICO's to make some earning in short term, so I'd see for these who offer the quickest ROi %.

I analyze if they are really in capable of making the project possible. Exactly what I did every time I invest on an ICO project. Sometimes they are just posting a fake photo in their time just to show that they are really a part of the team, we have to check all of the social medias of the team most of them that is a legit member of a one team has a legit account in LinkedIN.Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: X - Mas on March 05, 2018, 02:41:01 AM the first i will look into the features inside the project,,
because for now most of ICO project didn't have an original idea, just a few project thats have an original idea with new features after that i will do a deep research with their team members of the project Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: jondel on March 05, 2018, 03:01:17 AM This seems simple but it will get more complex when you do it: First reading WP and judging the website if it looks professional or scamish. Then research the project (the idea and its feasibility) and the team behind it.

If I like the team I start reading their problem solution or whatever their USP is and then everything else. That's also a good point in screening an ICO project, sometimes I do that because in joining ICO campaign it is important that you need to check first how much would the project would raise. We cannot deny the fact that that's the first thing that we actually considered and by that you will also considering reading the platform of the project. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: mr.creampie on March 05, 2018, 04:13:11 AM I am looking into profiles of these developers and founders digging some information to know that these people are real,checking the github activity of these developers if they are very active surely there are something about the development,product of the ICO is a must too,you should know theres a lot to consider,coin supply the distribution of the whoe supply is another factor,partnership and roadmap should be positive.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: RadioYo on March 05, 2018, 06:46:26 PM It's a good question. RadioYo just launched our ICO at https://rao.radioyo.fm and we're contacting "companies" that do this type of stuff. I'm interested in what the Board thinks.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Kippah on March 06, 2018, 08:26:06 AM Guys do you genuinly look at tokenomics, eg how the token circulates and how it incentivizes the token-holders?
Help me do the survey on ICO investor behavior, fill in this questionnaire and after two weeks I will post results in this thread! https://tilburglawschool.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sCWmLd0wY1OK3P Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Jimmy palumbo on March 06, 2018, 08:28:05 AM The ICO review sites filled with all kinds of fraud, so most of the time I will not pay attention to the ICO review sites, I can observe their gtihub code base, if the code is open source, so I think I will choose investment.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Pasadoble on March 06, 2018, 08:31:28 AM I am looking at project first of all, weather it has interesting and unique idea, team is important, and if company has some background and any products it is good sign.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: kingkats0803 on March 06, 2018, 08:44:15 AM I believe the same, they are unreliable. Others offer reliability but have to pay in return.
Anyway, while checking USP is great, I also check for development plans and the team that holds it together. If they a good or excellent track record then all the better. In addition, check if they excellent visibility in various social media - it proves identity and have nothing to hide. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: MV7 on March 06, 2018, 08:46:58 AM One of the first things I look at are the team members, advisory, and partners. Having reputable people working on the project is the most important thing to the project for me.
Next, I look at the roadmap, whether the concept is feasible. Then I take a look at the reviews, community members, and the white paper. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Kippah on March 06, 2018, 09:41:25 AM It's a good question. RadioYo just launched our ICO at https://rao.radioyo.fm and we're contacting "companies" that do this type of stuff. I'm interested in what the Board thinks. Do you want us to do an experiment of community due diligence and tell you what we think? I think that would be pretty dope idea. Help me to understand how the ICO investors choose and monitor the ICOs they invest in. If you ever invested in at least one ICO fill in this questionnaire (below).

1. The idea - is it real and achievable? 2. The team - do they have enough experience or no? 3. The whitepaper from the beginning till the end. It is given to be read. So read it! 4. The roadmap - when will the product be released ? If it is more than year, for me this is problem. 5. The product - is it the product interesting and will it be useful once it is done? These are the main thing that I check in given ICO before I decide to invest/participate in bounty campaign. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at?

These are the main thing that I check in given ICO before I decide to invest/participate in bounty campaign. MartoValenti do you have profound blockchain background to evaluate blockchain projects in terms of viability? I would say I have good understanding of blockchain technology (for a layman) but I dont think I could evaluate projects from tech perspective since that requires you to read the code in a profound not superficial way. I guess most of us cannot do it but it is an important aspect of viability of the project/ So who to rely on in case you cannot do it by yourself? Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: IvyAguas on March 06, 2018, 01:01:18 PM When I look in ICO projects I see to it that this project will attracts people who will use them in future time, will it be useful or does the people need it? Because as much as the project is good but cannot attracts the market, I don't think they will earn success from it.
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Road445 on March 06, 2018, 01:02:55 PM I will focus first on the team members and whether the team is good enough.
But it is important to pay attention to the technical route and white paper of this token. Finally, see if the project is open source. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at?

Post by: binhvo1505 on March 06, 2018, 03:24:57 PM The way to look at getting a good ICO project is to learn a lot about the ICO project. You need to find out the staff, investors, their business ideas. These are the three criteria you need to check carefully.
You just need to spend a day to be able to look at all three criteria in the most detailed. And one more thing I recommend is not to listen to the rumors from the articles, let yourself learn about that project. That will help you make a smart investment decision. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: DikkieD on March 06, 2018, 03:28:31 PM I did the survey.
I find the standard things the most important, but often also take the hype factor into account. Also, high risk ICO's could be very worth the investment once listed. But usually I invest what I can miss, and don't really mind missing it. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: X-ray on March 06, 2018, 03:35:40 PM The ICO review sites filled with all kinds of fraud and are cheating overall. I do not trust any of them on the net. Only some sites were having a lot of credibilities and did so many audits and community vote before it will be listed in the ico list. Some said the majority of ico sites review was getting paid from the fraudsters to promote the project on the platform. But it makes sense for me. Honestly even cointelegraph doing the same thing with it to earn more money from the fraudsters. Looking at team members, advisory, and partners. reputable people in the circle, the roadmap, whether the concept is feasible and lastly the reviews, community members, and the white paper. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: yanto@1977 on March 06, 2018, 03:37:59 PM Many of you are asking this question. Many of you spend hours researching new ICO projects, reading forums trying to find the proper information, get the knowledge and make the right move. I am sure you are already aware that it is not the most efficient way. It takes time and all of us have to do the same ground work over and over again separately. Of course there are rating websites, which tell us what the best ICOs should be but after reviewing 120 projects myself I had very different views on most of the ICO rated as the best ones. Of course you can discuss with others on the forum but almost no one there does exhaustive and systematic research on ICOs, so lot of info but may not be relevant or very much biased by one’s opinion. ICO investors need to protect themselves and unfortunately, ICOs are still largely unregulated so we cannot expect that somebody else will search for and punish “bad apples”. So we decided crypto community needs a proper Due Diligence project based on the knowledge of you all. We would like to build it from the ground up and we are open to any comments, suggestions and ideas. However first we need to know, how you guys actually screen ICO projects, what you look at and what you maybe neglect. So that we can focus our attention on those things. If you fill in this survey you will help us understand exactly that. We are doing this for the community, to create better, accurate and independent ICO reviews. https://tilburglawschool.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sCWmLd0wY1OK3P Let’s discuss first how you screen ICO projects and what exactly you look at! Most people will give you the same answer,such as concept project, road map, hard cap and allocation. But I believe people will not do that anymore, they will replace their trust depend experience only. Experience built from practice and fix the mistakes, nothing else. Learning by doing is more better than wasting time collect ICO information or follow signal. Maybe you're not agree with me but that's what I see and I do that until now.

Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: rickadone on March 07, 2018, 01:21:14 PM Those rating websites are full of it and completely unreliable. I always start out checking how much they want to raise cause if it is too much I can move on without wasting time reading everything. If they raise an amount I can stand with then I start looking at their team, if I don't like it then I move on to another ICO. If I like the team I start reading their problem solution or whatever their USP is and then everything else. Most of those rating websites are busy looking for traffic and some ICOs to pay them before they even add them and it has turned to money making venture than it being a community service. So many of them have been known to list scams before and then end up deleting the rating once they confirm it to be scam and that sucks. It is good the OP is coming up with something like this and I hope they do not end up like one of those rating sites.OP's suggestion is a very nice one and one that is absolutely needed for investors that are lazy to do proper research on their own. I feel sometimes, a lot of people look for high level of information when they should concentrate on the most important things first and that is where it gets bad. The team in particular is one that is very important to dig up first and if you have that planned out coupled with some other factors to check out, that would be nice.

Thank you Rickadone, I (OP) have a research background (its my official job actually) so we have high standards on integrity and since money has never been any incentive to me I will make sure that is kept also while the project is being developed. I very much appreciate your comments but if you want to contribute a bit more to this initiative, please fill in my survey. In that way I can collect data systematically and I can prove what investors are neglecting the most and on the other hand what aspects they really pay attention to. The more data the better basis for the project. So please if you havent done yet so, just spare 4 minutes of your time with the survey below. https://tilburglawschool.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sCWmLd0wY1OK3P Thanks, you are all awesome.

Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: lablab03 on March 09, 2018, 02:06:02 AM For me first thing to do if you're looking for a good and reliable ICO project you should read and seek also some information on their ann thread 'cause all of the feedback of ICO will be found on it. and also for me to determine which is classified i'm also visiting their site's , to figure it out how old the site's ,cause most of the ICO nowadays is fresh and not trustworthy .so if you're looking legit ico you should visit also their sites and ann thread 'cause that is the easy way to determine if its good or not.

My way of choosing an ICO is very common to the others in which first i will read the whitepaper and check the CEO and the rest of the team profile thru the google if their listed records on their profiles are all true. Then i will read carefully of their products to ensure that it is not fake and to see if it is a promising investment. Then the last thing is their activities thru twitter and facebook to see if they are really working for their projects. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: Andruha1993 on March 09, 2018, 10:53:25 AM Many of you are asking this question. Many of you spend hours researching new ICO projects, reading forums trying to find the proper information, get the knowledge and make the right move. I am sure you are already aware that it is not the most efficient way. It takes time and all of us have to do the same ground work over and over again separately. Of course there are rating websites, which tell us what the best ICOs should be but after reviewing 120 projects myself I had very different views on most of the ICO rated as the best ones. Of course you can discuss with others on the forum but almost no one there does exhaustive and systematic research on ICOs, so lot of info but may not be relevant or very much biased by one’s opinion. ICO investors need to protect themselves and unfortunately, ICOs are still largely unregulated so we cannot expect that somebody else will search for and punish “bad apples”. So we decided crypto community needs a proper Due Diligence project based on the knowledge of you all. We would like to build it from the ground up and we are open to any comments, suggestions and ideas. However first we need to know, how you guys actually screen ICO projects, what you look at and what you maybe neglect. So that we can focus our attention on those things. If you fill in this survey you will help us understand exactly that. We are doing this for the community, to create better, accurate and independent ICO reviews. https://tilburglawschool.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3sCWmLd0wY1OK3P Let’s discuss first how you screen ICO projects and what exactly you look at! In the very beginning I estimate the project site. Then I go to their social networks and watch how many subscribers. Next, I look when the accounts in social networks have been created. After that I read their book and then I make an input on this project. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: TrumpD on March 09, 2018, 11:15:48 AM For me, it is the whitepaper (not the entire thing though, at first). I read the executive summary/abstract. If I find it interesting, I look at the team behind the project. I have to be able to verify the teams profile for example a LinkedIn profile for starters. Then I look at the project timeline (stages) how they intend to run, milestones etc. the roadmap helps in this case. Finally, if they have added financial projects, which can verified by a third party finance person, then I will give it a short.

And if you would like to get some insider view, you probably need to pay for it. I recommend cryptobrifing.com to you. It seems to be a legit site to provide high quality reviews. Yeah i will agree that we can't get easily to choose the best ICO because aside from the manyy ICO project exist but they already upgrade their reliable project to make as attarctive to joined.Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: ellabanana on March 09, 2018, 11:48:50 AM It is definitely difficult to choose a good ICO. Yes, we have website which includes reviews from different perspectives. However, this can never be trusted. This can be made of the member of the team to attract investors. So, the best thing to do ks analyze their website and other related articles about them before investing. Be wise!
Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: radjie on March 09, 2018, 04:22:35 PM For me first thing to do if you're looking for a good and reliable ICO project you should read and seek also some information on their ann thread 'cause all of the feedback of ICO will be found on it. and also for me to determine which is classified i'm also visiting their site's , to figure it out how old the site's ,cause most of the ICO nowadays is fresh and not trustworthy .so if you're looking legit ico you should visit also their sites and ann thread 'cause that is the easy way to determine if its good or not. yes I agree, one of them by visiting ANN thread them by asking the project development plan, so that developers can open a dialog with potential investors. In addition, we can see the future prospects of ICO by understanding whitepaper that has been provided, because the whitepaper is the main benchmark for potential investors to be able to invest in it.Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: swscowods on March 10, 2018, 08:34:15 AM These ICO rating sites are everything else but rating sites. Most of them are paid for featured spots. Experts are not experts. Some bots give random ratings. Awful service. Don't use them. Zero value in them. Obviously! They would rather collect those huge bucks to get their projects out there to their trusted members without considering the long run effect of it. Now, a lot of investors do not really care much about ICO rating websites and will rather go through the necessary details and research by themselves before they even invest in anything. It is absurd that what was created to help the community at the end just have the motive to get popular for the monetary gain. Not saying the monetary gain is bad, but at least it makes sense to always keep integrity in check. Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at?

I would rather do my own proper digging on any project by investing the team, checking all that I need to know if there is a product or not before even considering going through any other information. The rating website are after the monetary aspect and as long as that is in play, they care less about the investors and the community at large and they are only good when they are new, just wait for them once they become a household name in the community.Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at?

Just be updated with everything that is connected to that ICO that you invested so that from time to time you know what's happening with your money and the ICO itself. Most of the time road maps aren't followed because of some reasons that they have to pursue some other things to make that ICO better, it's situational.When you already invested in an ICO, how do you monitor your holdings? How do you follow-up? Do you follow the social media, updates, do you follow whether they go accoridng to the roadmap? Title: Re: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? Post by: vrabac68 on March 10, 2018, 11:03:50 PM The easiest way to find interesting projects with possible potential for profit is to sort ICOs listed on websites(google) based on their general rating.

To be honest I do not remember precise number, but it should be little bit over 10. It was before better to invest during ICO. Nowadays, when ICO ends and token are available in exchange sites, the price become usually lower than ICO.

For me, the whitepaper is usually the crucial factor here when it comes to deciding whether the particular ICO is worth investing into or not. I analyse the whitepaper thoroughly and decide whether it would lucrative to invest into the ICO or not. If satisfied, I proceed to check out the team, social media interactions, marketing campaign etc. 1. The team - their track record with previous ventures, github, linkedin profiles - a good mix of technology and business expertise is what I generally look for 2. The whitepaper 3. What using the blockchain enables for the project and if a seperate token is required. 4. Activity on Github 5. How the team engages the community on telegram, twitter, reddit, medium. I don't usually fall for the hype driven campaigns and check the coin thoroughly before deciding to invest.
