Is there a possibility of a scam if my tokens have no value for 2 months? I already have the tokens for 2.5 months and they keep telling us that listing is a laborious thing to do. Is that a normal thing to happen when your coin doesn't have any value for 2.5 months now?

Where did it came from? Airdrop? Bounty? If it come from your airdrop activtity then it has a high possibility that your token will turn to be a scam, because nowadays lots of airdrops just collect your information and will drop you a shittoken or a "display only" token in your wallet.

If it is a product of bounty, try to ask them directly, if they always say the same thing over and over again, then moved on mate.try not to look in your wallet lol

2.5 months is still early to say that your tokens fall to be a scam.
I remember holding also for a long time (I'm bit sure if its longer than 2.5 months) but now that token is alive and kicking.
I still hold some tokens with no values for more than half a year but I still have my hope on some of it.

Which tokens are you referring to? I'll look into this.

for 2 months early still something to say. We must wait at least six months. Many projects swing for a long time at the start. They need time to enter the exchange

If you are a token obtained through a bounty quest or airdrop, then it doesn't matter if it has no value. If you rely on investing in ICO, then you are likely to be cheated!

Your tokens have not been released anywhere during this time and do not show their value? Not all tokens are listed, so it may just be a Scam or a failed project.

There is a chance for your coin that it is shitcoin if the team didn't do their responsibility to make the token boom in the market. You are possibly scammed if the team are not active on the group and didn't give some updates about the recent or the future activities. In your situation I think you should wait more months maybe the team are just in hurry but experiencing difficulties on the way. Sometimes you should considers the others and not just your tokens situation.

That's not normal. basically it's need a short time to be listed on the exchange site. It looks like the developer doesn't have any intention to listing their coin to the exchange site. They are refusing to paid the exchange site. It's a scam coin.

If the tokens are from a bounty campaign, I think it depends on how much the project has developed. There is a case in which stock listing is delayed and even more. You have to check what they are doing with the project. In my opinion, a better chance is simply to delay the project than to be a scam.  ???

It is actually listed on IDEX but it has a really low value so I don't want to drop it there. I am still waiting for it to be listed on exchanges like Binance.

I think those tokens are in the process of going to the exchange, I know it's very difficult for an ico to enter in an exchange, I think 2.5 months is not too long, I see a lot of people holding tokens for 4-8 months I see they are still waiting for the token to arrive at the exchange.

2 and a half months is not normal. Investors will be infuriated with that if that were the case. Even if they said that they were trying for major exchanges, I still think that it is fishy and irresponsible on the team's part.  

There are updates on their social media accounts like facebook and twitter. Should I become worried?

How do you know it's not normal? How long have you been joining campaigns and how many campaigns have you joined?

it is often the case and even there are up to 6 months of no value, and usually the token is valuable it is when entering a large market.

well. there are such cases that teams prefer to focus and spend their money on product and developments instead of getting listed their token. so it may not be a scam. you should check the team and search them more to be sure that they are scam or not.

Previously have you got info about the release of the exchange? if there is no news, it is very sad. But if you still get the info from the developer, you should be patient to wait for the coins were released on the exchange. Some of course ico some things happen that way, but if the developer still provide update info of team development then there is the possibility of the coin is still running according to their roadmap. So I think you are patient and keep looking for info about the coins.

Maybe the project did not go to the stock exchange, you need to wait and hope for the best. And of course he can be scams

It's depend on you bought from exchange, ICO or receive from bounty reward, I've too many tokens no value for more than 3 month or lose 70% value from ICO price, I still holding it because hope it'll give me surprised later and getting price pump, maybe we need to patience because it's really need time to listed on big exchange

be patient, many ICO's are have trouble to get listed in big exchange especially, they have to pay a lot of money to listing in exchanger..

some developer has a long term plan for their token, they dont usually enter their token on any exchanger so the value of the altcoin will not decrease. but if they dont have any updates regarding the project, it might be scam.

Yes, you are right
I want the token they mean. if what they say is a scam i want to know. many of them use tokens. of course not all tokens they deem a scam. they must provide the actual information.

Yes it is, the scam was happen when they did not paid you but they paid you so it is not a scam.  I experience that they give token for almost 5 months and I didn't notice it by too long.  I also have some token that are no market because it is their strategy and i think you can easily sell your token at highest price when you go at the 1st day when they sell the token on market or it is available on market.

Some devs prefer to work on the actual product instead of shill sdvertising and going for big exchange listings.  Patience wil pay off on this one.  sometimes it takes half a year or so to gain real value.

You have to share the coin name for us to advise. If the developer didn’t abandon the project, I don’t think we can say it is scam atm.

In any case, 2.5 month is not a long period for a new coin to be listed to an exchange or development to push the price up.

It depends because there are reasons why some tokens are not getting listed on any exchanges. Some developers or creators of token or coins dont want to list it immediately so that people cannot dump the token yet or there are no exchanges that wants to list it because there are only low demand on that coins so listing it is not worth it or it may be a scam and the project is fake and no real future development for that token. You will know if this is a scam if developers dont answer to questions that is being asked to them or no updates at all.

There is too little information to understand about the state of the art. There were such projects that go to the market at low market positions, and receive prices below ICO. But I do not think this is a fraud, just a thoughtless marketing, and the opportunity to redeem your shares at a lower price policy. I wanted the author to write about a specific example of deception, what kind of project, what attachments, what losses.

You didn't say what kind of project you are talking about. I know a couple of projects that collected money for ICO, then for a long time, they developed their own platform, and only after six months they listed the tokens to investors. Sometimes the way from investing money to getting tokens is quite long.
But maybe you fell into the hands of scammers and you have been fooled. Specify which project, then you will get a more accurate answer to your question.

in holding tokens it must be patient for exchange, 2.5 months is still very reasonable for a token waiting for the market, as long as the team is still moving it is marked hope still exist

actually about token,it's seems undefinied. even that free token from airdrop.
remember TME ? Timerium ?. and after token swap to elixir , some dust changed to gem.
for now, i also have many many token with zero value,but, if they/team say keep calm.
so what we can do ?

They say that patience is a virtue, then I believed on that. I also have a token recently I am holding now, they keep saying that they are on alpha release so we need to wait more time for it. For 2.5 months is too early to declare that is a scam, you need to wait more months for what have done now, we don't have anything to do is just wait. Speaking of airdrop I don't expect on it.

It happens that there are very non-responsible managers and team, and sometimes the project owners themselves are paying off, so you can understand why such delays or no payment!

Exactly, most specially when getting listed in an exchange cost huge amount of Bitcoin. That's where most of the ICO team get tempted to scam their investors or fake failure their project.
Usually 2 months would be considered a long wait for a certain coin to be listed on exchange, if the team is passionate with their project.

When reading your post, I am sure you have joined the airdrop and received a Token from them, right? Most of the time, I can assert that all airdrop campaigns have the general purpose of collecting personal information, the crypto most of which have no value and are not indexed on trading floors unless it's an airdrop campaign for bounty members!

For sure it means the management did not have a clear listing plan and definitely wrongly timed their moves. But it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a scam...

There is not enough more detailed information about what you are talking about. Tell us in more detail what kind of company this is and we will study it and will be able to give you a more detailed answer and find a solution for you.

That doesn't obviously mean that it's scam, but there is big chance that it's. More obviously that it's weak project and you need to get rid of their tokens so fast as you can. Analyse deeper, if this project realy have a future.

2.5 months is not a quite long time for tokens to not get listed. There were cases that some tokens had made their customers to wait for more than 6 months and at the end they delivered a good ROI.

Getting listed on a decentralised exchange with great repute takes a lot of preparation and time. It might be possible this particular project didn't plan ahead or haven't satisfied some required criterias. Be patient and see how it unfolds. It is too early to call them scam. Let their roadmap also guide you.

Use different email like if you going to create an account in trading site or gambling

In ICO I think better to rely in their past movement then do invest after that like aion and lunch

We can also use 2FA for the safety of our money then try also a little investment only

Well, 3 months is early. At least half a year (depending on the roadmap ofc) a product with mvp or -even better- a beta version application would tend to rise more quickly. A project with more research and development on the way would need more time to gain value.

2.5 months is not too long and still much time to wait to make sure everything. Scam or not is not depending of the time. Every asset has its own roadmap which will explain when the asset hit the exchanger. Maybe till more than 1 year but its not many coin list till 1 year but just think the worst case which happen.

I think it’s not normal, probably the developer is not focusing on the vision of their coin to be in exchanger maybe they have different plans so better you check with the team and ask about it. The very long period of time is too suspicious for the legit ICO and so it’s a 90% scam, how good the whitepapers or roadmaps they have but they didn’t do in action it’s no use just a piece of trash.  :-[

Too long you have to wait 2.5 months, forget that token, my friend. Because you lose time and material waiting for things that are not sure. try looking for information in a community like their telegram, ask for certainty about your token

depending on the ico. listing a coin in exchanges comes in different way. there are some exchange that demand for huge amount of money before listing your coin and there are some that does collect small money while some may be free. I think most ico this days do not want to list their coin on time especially when the coin is not an utility token. some of them will continue with their roadmap and list the coin if they discover they have reach certain level of rigidity.

it could be posible mate that some ICO intend not to finish there projects and will turn into a scam. this really happened especially those you received from airdrops, because if there projects didn't reach there soft cap and they already giving airdrops to the community they will not going to continue the said project. but if you have coins that has no market value just hold it. maybe someday that coin will have a market value or they can find any big investor to invest with the said project.

This is common. But behold, already has a price but not disclosed to the public. that often happens is they confused choosing Exchange crypto layout later placed. but for a small possibility I think it is a scam because the distribution but does not yet have a price.

Many token was a scam for now but if it is came from the bounty then just wait until it will list on exchange because i have also a token that was 4 months old and still doesn't have any value listing on best exchange was taking too long so better to wait until it was have a value.

It depends on it sir. Sometines it last 2 months because it is not yet on the market. Or maybe projecr has veen failed and not been sponsored. Just with until 6 months if it still not, then it is scam.

Where did you get your tokens from airdrop or bounty?

If the token is from airdrop then its likely to be a shitcoin thus dont expect too much especially airdrop tokens usually are just scam.

On the other hand, if your tokens are reward from bounties and there's a progress in their project then be patient because its not easy to list the coin it takes time especially in popular exchanges out there.

It is too early to tell that your coin is a scam but it could be if there is no improvement for the succeeding Months. My advice is that if your campaign manager can be contacted make sure to try. And if ever you were scammed, which I hope not.  Make sure to avoid those kind of ICO.

yeah if you get from bounty or ico you will be more patient because need more time to be listing in the market
remember that new token from ico has a roadmap and all running on the roadmap

Most of the projects agree on a listing with the major stock exchanges in advance. If this does not happen, there are questions about the seriousness and professionalism of the project team. You have no choice but to wait and be patient. If you urgently want to sell your ERC-20 tokens, try manually adding them to the EferDelta for example.

There are, of course, different situations. Sometimes the ICO team has missed something and did not do it right on time. It is necessary to wait a little more, while also trying to find out the possible cause of the delay. However, the fact that the token does not appear on the exchange is no longer good and should be alarming.

What did you mean? Where it even came from, bounty or airdrop? If it come for any of new airdrops then it's has a high possibility to your token to will be a scam            

True. It is highly probable that you'll end up waiting for the token to be listed, and probably have another wait for the boom of the token. You should go check their roadmap and see anything related to the project launch, weeks after that will probably be the best time to sell.

I suggest you interact with the community and ask for proofs and such, to verify the legitimacy of the project. Look for loopholes on whitepapers and the team composition -- check their background. There are many ways to check if the project is a SCAM, you just need to read. Also, do this before joining, so you won't have problems like this as you go through the project.

This is not from an airdrop. This is from a bounty campaign. The project is named as SocialMedia.Market.

Nowadays a lot of airdrops just collect your information and will drop you a shittoken or a display only token in your wallet      

I think it's too early to panic. 2.5 months very little. I think you should wait and see the news in the telegram group. If this was a scam, then immediately after ico the team would disappear.

That depends entirely on the project itself, the integrity of the developing team behind the project,
the way they deliver, and then their reasons as to why this is the case and if they give concrete proofs
that there is progress happening. But whatever the case is, since you invested, then just wait. Anyway
if it is a scam you already lost and if it really isn't then you may get a lot of profits. Just let this be a
lesson and be more careful next time when investing.

I think it's still normal cause some project need months to be able to list their token on any exchange. For example if you know about BuzzShow ICO project, it ended for months but for now GLDY token of BuzzShow is not listed on any exchange yet but seem like it's not a scam project :D. You'd better wait a little bit more cause maybe it's a long term project ;D

Unfortunately there're too many scams nowadays. Some scams don't even distribute tokens, just collect investors money and disappear clearing all their traces. There was a good example of exit-scam showed by Savedroid project. They just showed how easy is to fool all the investors and become a scam. So all you need is to be very selective when investing in a new project.

When it comes to anything related to that of the internet and the crypto currencies, you cannot expect that all the projects or the transactions or even the exchanges and the crypto currencies which you will be dealing with are free of scam.

There are scammers around the world and that their only motive is to grab your money. You need to keep yourself away from such scams yourself by having enough of the knowledge regarding the things.

2.5 months is not the longest waiting for the token growth, perhaps the team has problems with listing on major exchanges, you need to check their website and roadmap, or talk to the developers of the project in the chat. If the team is quite quiet and does not answer the questions of participants and investors and has not posted news about the project in social networks for a long time, then the probability of this Scam project will be 99%.

It could be very normal for the ICO projects to take some time. But now a days the process is faster if they pay good fees to the exchanger. So it all depends on how they are making the progress in terms of listing.

And off course as we are in the crypto space then we shouldn't be believing this all the time. If the time is over the head then that could be really troubling thing. You need to at least have a proof whether they have made the application or not.

The answer is still vague for this, it can be yes or no.
The longer the coins to get listed in market doesn't always a scam.
So we can't make the longer time for a coin to get listed in an exchange to be the biggest parameter that the coin is a scam.

May I ask you something? What coins are you referring to? Hmm, don't panic. It takes a long wait to be sure that your coins are being listed. Wait for more months for you to know if it's a scam or not. Because not every coins who are take a long time before listing is a scam it takes a time.

Try you become more patient, 2.5 months it just a minute, do not be too quick to draw a conclusion scam. I am still waiting for a token which until now the price in idex is very cheap even the price -85% of the price of ICO

maybe yes, or maybe their Project didnt meet the requirment like roadmap plan, lets say that Project was failed, so never ever will be have a value token.

Considering the current market 2 or 3 months without any movement of the price is just normal. In fact there are lots of ICO that the value drops of almost 60% from the original but still team are working their best to work this out. Have trust, but if you think that this is no where to go then decide for yourself.

No, this is not normal. I also have such coins in my wallet. As practice shows, these are dead coins. If, of course, the project team acts according to their road map then there is still a chance that your tokens will come to life and will tradings.

do not conclude it was a scam before it was checked. 2.5 Months is not a long time. it may take several months before you register them. can also wait for the right time for it.

Although scams are prevalent in this field, but your data is not enough to accuse a project, specially if you did enough research before investing on it.

Projects sometimes take time to get listed on exchanges. So if the only problem is that they are not listed on major exchanges, you might wanna give them some more time. And yes, sometimes the value grows considerably when the listing occurs.

They could be telling the truth about the listing part. I have read some projects having difficulty listing  their coins in exchanges (even if they are willing to pay) due to regulation issues.

You should check always your token if  it has a value in the market. or its listed in any exchange. the first thing you need to check is if there is a possibility that their token has the  capability to enter in any exchange.. If your token has no value and the developer of that project is not active in any social medias. well your token has no value at all.  Thats why there are many projects existing but then their some of them their tokens has no value. and its probably a scam

It seems to me that there are more scams nowadays, but I do not see any other way out , but continue to participate in them. I think that you do not have a choice anyway, because you can not sell this tokens.

I think that the all the bounty hunters are afraid of scam, but personally I mostly come across coins that just do not grow in price.. So it is a normal situation.

If this is not scam then certainly signs that this company is not so good. Most successful companies who have collected even soft-cap almost immediately (within 30 days) go to exchange. Their tokens are traded at least somewhere. Not so important to add your token on Binance or Bittrex, even though it will be somewhere.

This in principle can happen with young coins. I think that while you do not need to panic. I hold a token which cost half a cent for 3 months, and then gradually began to grow in price

I don't think that this is normal. You can ask someone from your project community, for example in Telegram channel.

my advice is better wait until the coin has a value that you think is beneficial. so essentially stay patient.

I think that you need to be careful and hold your currency for some time. Choose only reliable hard wallets to store coins. Choose ICOs with special care, otherwise, you risk being scammed as today there are frauds and scams

if they stop sending any updates on bounty hunters or on investors, they probably run away, but as long as they are active sending you an update, just wait and see what they plan to do.

This is quite normal, because the market is not in a better position now, it takes more funds to enter the exchange.

It depends. Listing is really tricky sometimes. I've read about Kucoin exchange, how costly and hard to get a token there. But most of the airdrops are crap, likely it's one of them.

If your token has no value for two months, then you are likely to be deceived. You can see if the token you have is on the trading platform. You should immediately check if its project has changed.

just wait if there is no development for 6 months more it means that token or coin can be said scam, but now many tokens and coin that run ico longer.

Cryptocurrency industry is new high-technological area. And we all know and understand that not all sides of this area are secure. Scams are really everywhere. But this is not a reason to avoid cryptocurrency at all.

Other altcoins or token takes a year before it makes a good value. 2.5 months is still on infant stage and I think it didn't even added in any trading platform. Adding in trading platform is also a long process, it has many requirements that the developer needs to be accomplish before it get listed in a reputable exchange.

I am betting that is from an ICO.
Yes, it is possible. Look at their roadmap. It does say when they will list on multiple exchanges.
If they are still updating you so what is the problem.
That is a good thing. That means they are still there and might be working on it.

Will you pick another choice where no one will tell you anymore what is happening.
It is hard to pull investors. That is why they took the ICO way. They will use that money to have some partnerships.

2.5 months is very less time especially for  a new project. Small teams do not have huge budget for promotion either so be patient.

Based on my experience? Yes, most of the time, it takes months before some coins will literally takes off. Right now I have tokens which I bought February, and took off when it hits a trading platform, however, it plummeted. But I still believed in them because they will have their own trading platform. So once they established their own platform, I bet that the price will be like Kucoin or Binance coin price.

two months a while, patiently waiting until the tokens are in the market, I also have a token that froze his address contract for 6 months

maybe the project from the coin did not work so the coin you have does not have the price, please try to see if the Soft cap is already running or maybe already successful, if the soft cap has not succeeded do not expect your coin will have a good price, let alone the hardcap coin already successful, can be sure coin will succeed with high price

Hi friends ,.
it can be said to be normal, or not even.
you should analyze the progress of the project more deeply. if it is good, I think that's a natural thing. because of each project has different ways to improve the quality of their projects.
A token sale project and a company project are very different. you have to know that.
good luck guys !!!

We cannot determine whether it is a scam or not for just two months, since there will still be updated when it comes to the wallets and platforms, as long as the devs are replying to inquiries there is a high chance that the devs are planning to make the project work, however if the devs are not replying or you only got them from an airdrop, the chances of it being a scam is high, since nowadays airdrops specifically from telegram are mostly scams, they will ask you about your e-mail and your accounts in twitter and facebook, without them even having a running platform, they are just there for phishing.

speculation that is too early to declare it a scam. many more coins of that time and yet have value. wait and wait used to be of great value who knows. Anyway if kept will also not disturbing for other coins. We won't know where the coins will shine and which ones will fall. who knows this one coin is likely to develop.

Is it possible mate because some them are doing many reason thats why they dont have been launches in any exchanges. I have many tokens like that mate and as of now no value at all. And some also coins are not scams because of that case. Maybe they are doing and finding good time to find good exchanges.

Who knows. It depends on many factor. When you look at roadmap many ICOs promise their product launch in next two years. So until the product is not developed project has no value, no use.

nothing you can do anymore than being patient, being patient and waiting is the thing you can do, if you do not want to be repeated like that again you should be able to know the coin that has a good potential and have a team that is very experienced in the world of cryptocurrency and has a very useful product for the people.

Good point. Airdrop coins and tokens tend to end up as bags majority of the time due to the reasons you stated above which is why I don't pay too much attention to the coins and tokens I acquire from airdrops. On the other hand, the coins or tokens acquired from bounties are a different matter since they could potentially have some value even after 4-5 months and sometimes even more.

Yeah, that's most likely, as we know, listing requirements on the market requires quality coin and it garnered a lot of participant for voting. Therefore, now many newborn coin have an airdrop and bounty program, which aims at many participant and listings in the market. And when the program is complete and already distribution, with the number of participants, it will not be long will be listing in the market. The conclusion of your story, the possibility of a big scam.

Yes! It may be scammers, but it's not necessary!!! Listing on the stock exchange may take some time! You need to ask the project team a question and find out what's going on with them.

it would be wrong to say something definite, but if you look at it in general, there is a possibility to come out scam.

i have never attended airdrop program, at this time i just follow bounty program. with a lot of negative news about the airdrop i am so lazy to join, and now i know the reason

Many scams are circulating these day, specially newbies get trapped in it. Airdrop has more ratio scams than bounty. We should firstly look for website, team working behind it & their experience. We should verify the airdrop & bounties before participating in it. It could be possible of a Scam if your coins are not listed in any of the ICO/exchange for 4 to 6 months. We should be checking updated from the developer/Website. Bounty coins take time to rise.
So always ta have patience while working with airdrops/Bounty Projects & believe in your luck.

sure, me too.. i has been hold my token more than one years and i still believe that tokens will give the profit
tokens has value is need long time like listing in the market and fixed all problem so stay calm when your token not value yet

Usually airdropped tokens don't have any value for a long time, and for ICOs you have to wait a few months until it hits the exchanges. If the coin doesn't have any product then you will have to wait a long time for any gains, better to invest in something which has started development already

I think still need to wait.  Of course now there are a lot of scammers and there is no guarantee that you will get your coins.  but there is still a chance.

I'm sorry to hear that brother, but I think chance is high to tell its a scam because of a 2 months time frame that a token did not have a value, by the way may I know what token it is? so I can check it myself. The developer should be responsible enough on updating the investors on what's going on in the development of your project.

 this is one of the most joyful moments in my life, when I seen new coin in my wallet getting some price on exchange

a lot of scams in airdrops and bounty carefully choose companies to track their road maps and plans

a lot of scams in airdrops and bounty carefully choose companies to track their road maps and plans

Each project is unique. Tell the name of the coin and then we can study the project in more detail.

yes there is, depends on the token that you are talking about. I have a coin which is several months that has no value until now, it has already an exchanger but there is no trading volume.

I think it is scam, especially if it has come from airdrop campaign, saying that nothing is so bad, but be aware of everything that you do here.

It is probably not about the value itself, yet about the team and the concept itself. Mind whether it is airdrop of bounty. It still can expand. 

Try you become more patient, 2.5 months it just a minute, do not be too quick to draw a conclusion scam. I am still waiting for a token which until now the price in idex is very cheap even the price -85% of the price of ICO

You must need to be patient, there are some coins that has no value in a long month. But they have a potential to have a value, I think you need to wait. Don't think that one coin, and continue what you do.

Maybe it’s a scam.I also have a lot in my wallet too and its almost a year already too and no update about them.I just didn’t sell it since they don’t have value, I just let them be in my wallet waiting for something miracle that will happen we don’t know. ;D But you try to be updated to their telegram channel maybe they have update there.

If the project is really good, then its tokens have a value right after they fall on your wallet, because most of them almost immediately fall on the forkdelta and etherdelta exchanges.

It depends. Posting is extremely precarious at times. I've perused about Kucoin trade, how exorbitant and difficult to get a token there. Be that as it may, the vast majority of the airdrops are poop, likely it's one of them.

it depends from the project, because there are some situations like that before, actually more months longer than that before they even listed the coin in an exchanger. but as long as the project is still updating about the progress of their project, just trust them.

IMO, one month duration is understandable but going far behind that is something that we should doubt of. I mean anyone can list their token in a decentralized exchange without paying high fees just to have a good circulation then list on a major exchange later on. But if the team keep promising this and that and months had past then it will likely to be turn out scam. This will be crucial especially for investors as they like burn their money and turn to ash.

of course you should try to investigate and discuss in the thread if you want to be sure, for now. there are many who delay to be listed on the exchange. yes see the decline keep happening so developers do other options.

Please check the project milestones, check the activity of team if team is still online and active meantime you have a good project with running milestones, then wait for reasonable milestones.
Duration is not important just check you project schedule

You should consider the sentiments in telegram group of your token. Consider everyone's opinion. If they are transparent then nothinh to worry about. Ask them why it takes 2.5months and counting why still no proper exchange.

Good day! 2.5 mons holding and yet no exchange can't be considered scam at all. It depends whether the developers have abandoned the project or they didn't reached enough funds to get their coin listed or the coin is still ongoing developments. There are exchanges that requires a lot of requirements before being listed.

But for the cryptocurrency industry is a new high tech area. And we all know and understand that not all sides of this area are safe. Fraud really exists everywhere. But this is not a reason to avoid cryptocurrency at all.

It all depends on the project. Maybe your project just does not want to send tokens in a bad time, so that the price would not be small on stock exchanges

The team of project usually announce the date they are going to have a listing. If there are no racion and answer from team, that is scam, of course.

I think it is not a scam. It depends on what exchanges are they gonna trade. Dont waste your time waiting for those coins you got. There are plenty of coins now a days that still dont have value and no place of exchange. Better to wait from it. Move up and collect more coins from your hardwork.

If your token do not still have its value for a number of months, then you should probably take a look on the project itself. If you saw that the project is running, then probably you just have to wait. You should also visit the listing sites if the token was being listed. Check out also their official telegram group and see if the admins are still active. By those, you can determine if the token is still promising or not.

do you just check in the coin market cap or already check in the market? usually there are some problems because it does not know the exchange. if indeed there is no token list you have may take much longer

There’s  a lot of scammer that spread out in this kind of business and industry, you must be careful to what decision you will do to avoid losing of coins or investments in this business.

If the team really works on the project and develops it, then do not worry that they do not go to the exchange, for them, it's just not an important task. I think that after a while anyway, if the project is working it will be released to the stock exchange and you can already sell it for a good price because they will go to the stock exchange already with the finished product

After that length of time I would most likely put that coin on the back burner and move on.  Check the price once a week to make sure it doesn't spike.  Too many more exciting opportunities to miss if we waste time on suspected losers.

Hi friends, ..
you have to find out why they say that?
then try to follow the progress, because if the team does not work then the project will die and coins will not be useful.

The probability of fraud is always, unfortunately. We are not insured against this.

It can be scam and it may be not. It can be easy to detect whether the devs are deceiving the community or not. If they raised some money from ico, then it should not be a hard thing listing on fairly good exchanges if not the top exchanges. If it's a 100% airdrop coin, then it may be spam.

Holding a token for just two months does not mean if it is not listed as at that time period, then it is a scam. Sometimes the devs want to take their time and get their project running before the tokens will be listed, this will prevent the usual pump and dump that we have been witnessing for sometime now.

YES, there are controversial judgments, if more than 2.5 months, then the scum, or "calm before the storm." Honestly I agree that it is not very pleasant to watch the tokens for a long time have no value, and we can already assume that this is 50% of SCAM. I also give hope to the tokens.

Now a days there are a lots of scammed projects in cryptocurrency. Regulatory agencies should be setup to monitor this.

In the event that this isn't trick at that point absolutely signs that this organization leaves something to be desired. Best organizations who have gathered even delicate top very quickly (inside 30 days) go to trade. Their tokens are exchanged in any event some place. Not all that imperative to include your token Binance or Bittrex, despite the fact that it will be some place.

Phishing is very bad !!!
This time there are many projects as well as fraudulent activities, redeem yourself.
We need to find those objects and condemn them, criticize them !!!
I look forward to the next time people need more careful.

Maybe you are correct and maybe not..  You need to know if it came from an airdrop or it came from bounty campaign.. Because there a lots of chances that it could be shitcoin if it came only in airdrop unlike in bounty..  But you know what 2 months is to early to think that it is just a shitcoin..  Well just wait because maybe soon it will have its value... It is quite normal in but what you are thinking is right ulyou are just making sure...

In this kind of business there’s always a hackers or scammers that spread out, and nowadays this is a normal part  or side of the business, you must learn how to prevent yourself from them.

it can be fraud, tokens do not have value since the beginning it is a sign, sometimes those who already have a longer hold value fall instead, it all depends on the developer and buyer

At present, it seems that many projects do not want to be listed on the exchange because the value of the token is easily reduced. If the project has a well-timed, updated roadmap, it is not yet possible to confirm that the project is a scam, and if there is no news for more than two months it may be a scam. These erc-20 tokens can be easily exchanged over exchange permissions such as forkdelta, idex, etc. You can sell your tokens, but certainly, the value will not be high because of the current market situation.

Yes its possible to received a token/coin that is scam.... Have come across different ICO that only make use of bounty hunters and at the end of the campaign they won't give them their reward completely or  they won't give them at all. Maybe for now don't condemn the project since they are still giving you guys update on exchange but don't put your full hope on that project because it may still end up as a scam.

To be honest some scams still result in high prices for a prolonged period and some great projects keep a low value for a long time too. If the team are providing updates and making progress then it is probably not a scam. That doesn't mean they will succeed though. What project is it, out of interest?

after reading the answers from the seniors, I was a little worried about this. apparently there is still a way of fraud. really upset if we experience a fraud. tokens that are collected for weeks will be imaginary / useless. thank you for the description. very useful for me as a beginner.  :'(

I'm not sure about your case, but I've had it before. I had to wait so much and even more. try asking a question in the telegram channel to the administrator. He must know. If you do not answer then it is suspicious.

You don't need a soothsayer to tell you that any token you hold for long without any possible means of listing them in any exchange is nothing but a shit coin which happens to come from a scam airdrop.

2.5 months for a while. I used to have a token whose value was almost zero but I let it. after one year the price is very high and I sell it, so the point is to wait patiently for success

If you get the tokens from bounty I'm not sure it will turn out to be scam because I have a similar experience with a tokens I got from savedroid sitting in my wallet for about three months or thereabouts and lastly be listing on three exchange on the 10th according to Yassin the CEO so be be calm and watch out for official statement from the team

Relax bro, It might be true or false, Who knows?. It can take time for a token to get listed on exchanges, while it takes some just very little. Legitimacy of a token lays not on the time of exchange listing. wait little more before concluding as such.

usually doesn't require a long time to wait for the token price to exist in the market, but indeed there are sometimes a few tokens that are waiting for the price to be sold. it all depends on the project that we follow. it would be better if you patiently wait for it and also often check it out.

If the tokens you have from Airsrop, Bounty or listings in your wallet can be said to be 90% Scams because there is no information.

But if your token from the ICO is not SCAMS but there is no interest from investors or buyers about the tokens you have.

It could be a scam they could be working really hard my advice would be to really follow them on here and social media and watch how much progress the do!

Yep. It's already scam, because I have the same experiences with tokens that have no value for more than 2.5 months. That is the characteristics of the tokens are not developed at all.

I guess it take more than 5 - 7 months or beyond to list a coin into an exchange.
You can't do anything if the developers are telling you that because its really one of the hardest part.
But give it time, if they are not replying anymore and won't give you any update assume that token is a scam.

First of all, I want to know the name of the coin you hold, although he may be a fake coin when the coin has no value for 2.5 months, but not all coins are like this!

Sometimes it is necessary much to be prepared before the token is ready for sale. so when it does not yet have a price then, of course, it is reasonable. I have many tokens of bounty results and it's also been quite a long time but there is no price. better wait because it will never know when it will appear and who knows the price will be great.

If projects are so busy with payouts then in the final version you may not be able to get your money as they simply can deceive everyone and escape from the money.

Yes, I agree with you sir, 2.5 is too fast to judge a scam project, I also have a number of tokens that I can hold for almost a year, they still keep up to date, so I still hope the tokens in my wallet have a price.

Sometimes, some of these projects needs time to grow. The fact that one project did exceedingly well in a  short time does not mean that it will be same for another. While some might really need so much little time to grow, the reverse might be the case for some others. Be patient with your tokens, and give them time to value up, except you do not have faith in them.

If you have experience ever find projects that scam. and if it's found the presence of signs that the project would be a scam. For example, the movement is very slow, or even minimal information. Manager disappeared and others. Then we recommend that you immediately to avoid and find another project.

The 2.5 month wait does not explain anything. We can see that many altcoins have experienced a 1-2 year wait and then erupt, so the key is not the length of waiting time, but whether your altcoin is really valuable.

I agree with your suggestion that if it is from an airdrop, it might likely be scam but if it is from a bounty, you should relax or ask the manager what is happening but I think 2 and half months is still early for you to think it is a scam because sometime depending on the project, the manager and team members and also the number of participants, it might really take a lot of time to calculate and distribute token.

we can not avoid the scam. so my advice to you is to be smart in terms of investing. The bounty should always be read by white paper and join telegram to find out about the project and invest in ICO as well as to be wet and be smart not to fall victim to the scam.

Basically, each ICO or its developer has different ways and progress in developing their token to be listed on exchange. Sometimes, they need more times to negotiate with some exchanges. Here, we cannot judge the tokens or coins as scams in 2.5 months. I myself have held some tokens more than 3 months. the developers still say about the progress and process of their team to list the tokne in exchange. Just follow the community channel and update the information always.

It's too little time to say that tokens fall into the category of fraud, you need more time!

Didn't really get your question since you didn't specify if it was token gotten from investing in an ico or a token gotten from airdrop and bounty hunting. But 2.5 months is very much okay for the development process of any token

If your ICO ended 2.5 months ago and not listing in the exchange, they maybe a scam project, except their token is a security token.
Listing a security token is hard because most exchange have strict listing requirement. Anyway, it is your job to do some research about the project you want to participate before.

That can be a scam. Also if the coins have not been listed on exchanges you will not able to see the price of those tokens. Just go to their website and telegram group to ask more details.

It varies. Most of the coins earned from airdrops are mostly shitcoins. What you need to do is to go to their official telegram group and confirm when such coin would be listed on the exchange. This is the best thing to do in my opinion..

I think 2.5 months can still not be said to be fraud, because I also hold a few coins even more than 2.5 months but now there is value and can be traded on the exchange. Just often see the official telegram to get the latest information

If you get your tokens from ICO and after 2 months (or depend on the roadmap) but still have zero value then I'm pretty sure the chance it was a scam is 99%.

Obviously yes they just collect money and they will abandoned the project they should list the token in exchanges atleast how can the investors can get back their money?

You have obtained your token from them. It's a pleasure but actually the tokens will be valuable if they are listed trading floors. But that depends on the team. Be patient and trust them

It is not necessarily a scam. Many projects go bust even without being a deliberate scam as it is a wild frontier of the investment world (probably even more risky than venture capital financing). Regarding listing the token, nowadays you have to pay for it, and this is in addition to meeting official requirements that exchanges and places like coinmarketcap set forth.

Other than that, you should actually find out what the project is about if you invested your hard-earned cash in it. It is called due diligence, get used to it. On the other hand, if you received the tokens via a bounty campaign or an airdrop, you lose nothing, just time and a bit of effort.

I think for the time being it is normal, because if you look at the market situation there are certainly many developers delaying to register their tokens on several exchanges, I think you can wait and continue to communicate on the telegram channel.

What coins did you get?
if the coin from the bounty or airdrop is not easy to rise the price.

but if the coin you use is from the Exchange then I make sure to just wait on the altcoins pump.

Yes, it has a high possibility the company of your token is a scam. If they are not scam, at least their token will be valued.
If no value, that means no peoples want to buy the token. The team of the company must do something about it.
I suggest to create a marketing plan to creating more awareness of the company.

what exactly are the coins?
Well, for the project, see, by the community of the holders of the token, if there is one.
According to the news) if the creators of 2 months did not show activity - what questions are there, the project - scam
and if the coin does not grow in price against the background of the whole market (in decline), then this is normal, wait for news and growth of the entire market - including your coins

From the way I see it, you can't just conclude that the ico is a scam because they have not listed for close to three months now, although if I were in your shoes, it will be a thing on concern but deciding on this will also be based on the feedback from the team. Are they frequently communicating with the community on the progress of the process of listing? Because listing on these exchanges are not too easy except for those small exchanges which mist of us do not prefer.

Well even in a real life there's a lot emerge scammer and scam projects, that's why we need be an extra careful because we cannot stop to there growth but as long as we want to be a victim of scam we can avoid it. Especially now that there's a lot scam came out and according to my source it become more it will be, so I suggest be prepared and know it very well that is the least you can to avoid them.

2,5 months is not a too long time there are coins that are listed after 6 months from their exit and are not scam, maybe team don't want to list this coin on "bad" or "untrusted" exchanges...

in my opinion, at this time we must be more careful in choosing ICO because most of the ICOs did not reach Softcap so that the project could happen scam ...

if you choose ico, we are more active in the ico telegram so we know about ico's journey

I have over 50 tokens in my MEW wallet and all of them are worthless. I have had them all from 2 months to 1 year ago. And all that is the dead token and never listed in any exchange.
But sometimes I see some storm codes that are listed and valid after a very long time.

Yes, I have already experienced of having coin that takes over 6 months but still having low value and at first I thought it was scam but what a great surprise that its value abruptly spike up, so be patience and be positive for the good time will come.

Well, I think that 2.5 months is still not long, Buddy
It's better to check on special sites that can learn a token
I think there is a source.
Hopefully it's not a scam, bro

Yeah I would tell you it is nothing unusual. Some projects take time to get listed like that. All you gotta do is have a little more patience.

You are  not one who experience that things, I am also holding two different coins and for more or less 1 year and I always hoping that someday may coins got listed in any exchange, dot be worried just keep calm and look for another opportunities that may help you to forget those coins in your wallet while you are waiting to list those coins in the exchange.

2.5 months was indeed a short time compared to I who had been HODL for about 1 year with DOGE.
It is also possible that he is not patient enough in cryptocurrency or even a new person in the trade, he also needs the support of those of us who are senior in crypto.

I think that's a normal thing. Because of fraudulent projects, they will get out of their projects when they reach their goals and will not answer the questions of such investors. I think the market is in a downtrend so they will be delayed more. We need more patience.

Sometimes, we can't really control our emotions specially when you are doubtful with the tokens you've been holding for almost 3 months already without getting listed in the market. I have the same experience too but i am still hopeful because i always check on their telegram too.

Of course, they do not care what happens to the project and they promise that you would feel safe. In fact, I have a lot of such projects and I'm not sure that they will ever go to the stock exchange and they will lie there forever dead weight on their wallet. It is better to immediately forget about such projects once and for all or sell them on a decentralized exchange, normal projects are issued immediately after ico or during it. When the time comes for listing on the stock exchange, they will not have any money on their accounts anyway.

Based on what I have learned it is really true that the task of listing on exchanges is hard to do. There are a lot of requirements before they will accept it. Volume of trades is a very big requirement because we all know exchanges lived because of these transactions. They will earn from what they receive as payments. A portion of your token as money goes to them. So if the coin doesn't have volume it might certainly fail.

Maybe it depends in the success of the project I will not call it scam if you didn't invest any amount of money if just joined bounties and airdrops

basically a scam is when a project has achieved success in sales but does not continue to develop and is left behind by its team and community.
if we are only incorporated in the bounty and airdrop will also be able to feel that it is a scam or not, because without these two things I think a project will also not be able to develop bigger.

Scams can not be deny ,it will always come whenever there will be a popular thing that come out , they will ride for it and make people the victim of their scam scheme, especially here in cryptocurrency where in the bitcoin is so popular ,that is why there are many scam ICO surfacing out to make victims of the customers and investors.

You need to know how you got the token, either airdrop, bounty or you invested but before you make any investment , wether its bounty or investment, make sure you research the team backing the project because this is very important. People with good reputation always keep to their words. You dont have anything to do rather than to have patience till they list on the exchange

Personally, I wouldn't call that a scam. A scam business, or a fraudulent scheme, is a deliberate attempt to steal money from people in some way, thought out right from the very beginning. If the development team fails to deliver but their intention ("motive") wasn't to steal money, and the community then abandons the project, it just dies like many other startups do these days. Indeed, for investors it is a small difference as in both of these case (scam and not scam) they lose their hard-earned money, but, for example, in court, if it ever comes to that, it may be a decisive factor.

In my opinion 2.5 months is not the time when you need to sound the alarm. We need to have patience and wait for more. 4-5 months the team needs to implement their maneuvers.

Yes, it has high possibility that your coin is a scam one. The coin should have value even in this bear market if the project is real.
Usually they will buyback the token if it being sold at cheap price to ensure their investors and attract many peoples to their coin.

Yes, every investment site that unsupported by governments law which it's called them as decentralized has a lot of scams but also still has a legit one as long as you are capable to determined that in fact it's dufficult but still it's all, your strategies how to gain.

I think you should wait rather than complain to them. If you are a bounty hunter then wait is very simple. If you are an investor, it is hard to accept what they are saying

It also depends on whether you are in Airdrop or Bounty. If it comes from Airdrop, waiting list is probably unreasonable because usually get the card after the program ends. If you come from a Bounty, you can go to their telegram and ask them to reconsider your problem.

Now there is a lot of scum, you need to gain strength and experience in order to correctly choose a good project

You need to communicate with the token developer, maybe the token that you have is not time to be put on the market. The token developer has a roadmap, so they run as planned.

When the team does not communicate with the community for longer period that is a sign that it can be a scam project. Hopefully it is not the situation,  just postponing listing on the exchanges due to the market situation.

2,5 months is not long term. Got about 30 coins with 6 months waiting. Slowly some tokens are appearing on exchanges.

Just wait and be patient. There are just 2 options, ether will be exchange, or now.
If no, you can nothing to do..

I bought TEZOS before, I gone mad for waiting and update but it was not scam, I was sure  it was not a scam because we are receiving an update but Bitcoin raised the roof that time , so its add my craziness.  Did you receive an update from them or you asked about the status?

Scams are very common as many solidity project are now succeding that goals to help people to create
their own coin or token that can "help" others. Over populated market so the chance of people that
will be participating is surely very huge. Fake ICO, fake signature and fake coin and tokens.

It's quite normal. I had coins since 2017, and only now they go to the stock exchange. Currently, ISO is being conducted which, according to the road map, is scheduled for listing on 2019. If the project is not fraudulent - just be patient

My friend it is depend upon the situation, maybe theres no value becaise the developer amd the team tried to improve their project first before they decided to have a great value after tha alpha ang beta prcocess.

on my practice if within three months they do not go to the stock exchange after the termination of the Ico then this is a bad sign. But just recently, projects do not want to go on the stock exchange, so as not to drop the coin to the bottom.

what project did you follow? What is the profile of the team and advisor? it determines the continuation of the projects that you follow, 2.5 months is long enough but I suggest you to be patient 2 or 3 months ahead. if the situation is still the same. then we can be sure the proye is a scam

in my experience i had so many tokens that are more than 3 months and still no value, but i kept it instead because i got one instances that the coin goes up and have a value. its better to just kept it and be patient, no one knows someday it  will have a value.

It could be possible that they are not scams and they are right, listing is a laborious thing to do especially when they do not have a strong community of supporters behind them. If they are working on getting listed then you should hold the coins and wait for the time that the coin gets listed, some of them might be scam coins but a lot of them are not.

Yes it's possible specially if you got the token from airdrops or reward from the bounty not successful project, but it's not a scamm even the token is in the list into exchange it is uselss becythey have nothing value.

On my wallet, too, a lot of tokens, which for a very long time can not go to the exchange. But there are those who have acquired value after six months after they came to my wallet.

Which token? 2.5 months is too early to say if it's a scam or not. The project may not be a scam but not a successful one.
Are there any updates on website, social platforms or did you contact them already?
If you invested in an early stage you probably have to wait and give them some time. Knowledge & patience are the key of good investors (+fortune  ;D )

The possibility of fraud if we have received tokens from the results of the work we do, such as not.
Regarding tokens that we have held and do not have value, in my opinion in theory that this occurs because the request for the token does not exist.

Cases are different, perhaps the team has not finalized the project, and therefore does not seek to distribute their tokens, but it may well be that the market is not in the best shape, and therefore the team slows down all its movements!

I don't think that is entirely true. and maybe a coin that has not been listed in the market for 2 months or more does not necessarily have a price. it may take a relatively long time for listings in the market.

To be honest 2 months and a half can be too long when a project has scam behaviors.
Sometimes it can be hacking and hackerss is a big problem of anyone, of any governmentt and any exchange or wallet that are online based.
Even before that there are no crypto yett, there are hackers all around the world and they are a big problem for people.
Now that currency online is a big factor in the community, hackerss now are being a worse problem.

I have also seen similar projects like this, telling their investors and other participants of just future listing, with no specific date in line, despite ending ICO. There are times that such projects are not scam, but that they might be waiting for the market to improve before listing. So many are afraid that their tokens might get dumped by the time it is listed. Although, that is an undeniable fact for some projects. Except for very few ones that still maintain close to and even above ICP price.

Some coin from ICOs need more time when listing on exchanger. Many of ICOs took more than 2.5months after they complete token sale. I think it the developers still respond to our question, its still good and they keep inform the update of the project.

scams are real probblem of our society right now as they are staeling so much money that i really wonder will they ever stop

tjere arw a l0t fk scamms and i think taht we all need to do something about it i just dp noy kbow what exactly

This is still a normal time frame. I have such coins in my wallet that were just lying for 7-8 months. And I thought they would never enter the market. However, it still happened. So just wait, you still have no choice.

Waiting for 2.5 months for your coin to get to the floor list is unspoken time because many coin takes about half a year to be listed. You should be patient and wait a bit longer and follow their telegrams for regular updates.

Well, this problem are very known at this time and i don't have any idea to provoke that this project is scam, it only depends on the situations of ICO's platforms whether they have decided of the team. Better to have ask some questions on the telegram groups for clearer stands.

This often happens, and this is logical. Why? Because registering tokens in a market leads to correct verification of data, and if at the same time there are several projects that register, it must wait for a long period of time. Besides that, it was also caused by budget shortages. In this case, it is very important for partners to work in a project that is based on the market exchange.

I think that 2.5 months is still too early to say that this is a Scam. In my wallet, many bounty coins are more than six months old, and often their price is too low or not yet added to exchange. In any case - patience is the key to success. You did not spend your own money to buy these tokens, only your time, so wait and patience.

Though the issues of scams was scattered but it's not the time for us to give up because we believe that there will be a time for that to recover and having a legit one. We must keep on trying because we believe that there's more good to involve.

I think that is a new trend they are picking since most at times real tokens get listed on exchanges as soon possible. I have some coins with no value up to date since it was distributed to us.

There are too many scams on the market.

During the last few days, i saw a thread selling counterfeit tokens and promising them to be legit ones, i think that some people fall in that scam and they lost a huge amount of money.

The market is difficult these days, i would not trust anyone at this point, seriously.

Getting your coins listed in an exchange is a very straightforward process, the problem is that sometimes the project needs to pay a huge amount of money to get listed and if they did not got a lot of money in the ico then the only way for them to get listed is to get the support of the community but if the coin doesn't offer anything new or remarkable that is going to be very hard as well.

The great possibility of the ICO project is neither the non-potential nor the scam if after receiving the tokens from the ICO project that after 2 months have not been listed on any exchange floors. Frequently, potential ICO Tokens will be indexed on exchange floors before distributing to investors and bounty members.

Which token do you mean ? From ico or you just joined their bounty campaign or airdrop ? Sometimes we need take a look how dev manage their project. So many ico delayed their listing in the exchanger becuase so many reason. I think you need ask about this at their grup. If their answer with good reason i think you just need wait little longer. Its simply if their project scam they never answer your question with good reason or just ignored you.

Wait for the further announcement from the team is the best action for your case
Wait till they explain when the token gonna hit the market, maybe they have reason silucch as the current market conditions isn't good enough to launch the token to exchange or etc

Projects need time to fulfill on their promises and if they launched their project wrong it can happen that the token
has no value for months. It is early to say if it is a scam or not. We have to be patient and  give them time
before making such conclusions.

Yes, of course, this project just became a failure and it can be called a scam project. there are a lot of them now

I myself cannot define that it is scam or whatever because I don't know what coins you are holding right now. First, if the coins are not on the listing after two months, I think I also have those kinds of coins. Moreover, there are some coins have already in my wallet about 4 months and no listing right now. The developer may be thinking or preparing the best listing. It will need at least one month, but sometime smore months in order to make it ready and in the good price. Just follow the news and be patient.

If the token's team and community still exist and they always try to make the tokens better, then you can still wait, but if they just listed on various excuses, or the team loses contact, then you may have encountered A scam!

It often happens that the token loses its value for a longer period after the end of the ICO. You need to check how their roadmap looks like and whether they meet their obligations. If the dev team is active and stays in touch with the community, you probably have nothing to fear. But with the current market situation, development may take longer.

It seems to me that 2.5 months is not the time when it can be said that the project has become fraudulent, because it has happened that quite promising projects paid out normal tokens after a longer time!

When is growth?

not only scams are becoming headlines but also private key issues in the wallet or market can be done by hackers. if the problem of our scam can be careful in the selection of bounty campaign.

There is always a possibility that the project can turn scam, if they are not posting any updates. But due to the current market conditions, it is normal, that some projects are sleeping and waiting for the bull run to release their updates.

Tell me, what to invest at now?

When can I start buying?

Yes, It's normal. Because some well-reputed project locked their token from listing on exchanges and I think it is not bad at all. Every ICO, Airdrop tokens price has been decreasing more than 50-70% from the ICO price for the bear market! They are saying, Exchanges listing will happen when the crypto recovers and I welcome this decision! So, it is not a scam.

If this coins came from the Airdrop, or this project is still ongoing now? If this coins came from the Airdrop and have not updated over 2 months, it possible is the scam coin, those shit project using the Airdrop attract the real investors, after that without the update and dev team disappear and never listing in the good exchange. :'(

every project has a road map, there you will find all the info about them, there are projects that want to build platforms and their uses first, before signing up for an exchange, you have to ask their team on social media about the latest info on the project

I agree with you, dear colleague, the marketing of the ICO project is very difficult to implement so quickly in 2.5 months. Especially in case of an unstable falling market, it is very difficult to enter a crypto exchange, a very high risk of falling low.

it's true that you say the problem now is that this promising project definitely takes a long time to share the tokens, and most of the results we will get are not in vain for the things we have been working on for a long time

Yes, now in this market all projects are falling in price , I think it's better to wait for admins projects will send tokens at a time when the market will be favorable

I tried, for fun, to work with air drops. not to earn money. it was just an experiment. out of 100 air drops, only 7 campaigns came on my wallet.  ;D ;D

For myself, I realized that if the project at least continues to say something - this is already a sign of life. Although unfulfilled promises are a kind of sell signal, and with such projects should be very cautious. But this is not necessarily a scam.

Why is it so easy to say a scam? 2.5 months is still very early, I have waited almost a year to get the best price. Come on, we have to understand this risk and be patient for long. If the project is good and the team is very cooperative in providing development, we must patiently follow the process.

Not necessarily a scam if you already have tokens from the results of your work. Many experience things like what happened to you, some even have tokens and have held them for more than 2.5 months. In my opinion, such things often occur.

It is often experienced by bounty hunter, of all the projects that are followed, only by part of the tokens that have value, this is not fully scam because you have received the token from the bounty, possibly due to failed ICO or not reaching Hardcap, or maybe the token is still in process to enter the market

it depends on how the team is responding in the community.. if they are likely quiet for a long time then consider it as a scam or no progress

It is very sad that today there are more and more projects that are written in scam projects. This is a very sad sight, especially if you understand that this is no longer avoidable, today it is not getting any better.

On my opinion, waiting for 2.5 months for an altcoin to have value is not basis to call it scam. Some alts usually takes months to have value and some just dies even though the project is legit. Some actually reaches exchanges but value is 80% lower than that of its ICO price because of so many reasons.

In such unfavorable market conditions, even a powerful and bright ICO has to postpone listing up to six months. The team performs these measures to save the project, pending the resolution of temporary difficulties.

If you received these tokens as a reward, you should not expect them to have any value even after the listing. Hunters sell them at a lower price, lowering the profitability of the token. However, many months have passed since your message here, could you update us about the value of your tokens now?

According to the situation you mentioned, it is possible to encounter a project of a scam. Usually, the ICO project crowdfunding will immediately arrange a listing transaction.

I think not, its normal for some altcoins that is not going to be listed even for many months or a year. The scam is that it would still no value even for about 4 to 5years. Some projects also promise to give rewards but unfortunately doesn't distribute so.

We all have tokens like that, some we have received are yet to be listed, some we haven't even received and the manager will be telling us stories. There could be a scam possibility, its 50% 50%. All that is left of us is to either be patient and wait or move onto other things and put that one at the back of our minds that if it works, good and if doesn't, still good.

I think that in 2.5 months, it can still be said that it is still normal to wait for the price of coins or tokens that you usually get tokens or coins to enter and have a fixed price when it exceeds 5 or 6 months then your token or coin will have the price is sure to be, just wait for enough time.

These listing problems are very common. But for a year? do you think that the developers of that coin are serious with what they've been doing? I doubt that they are serious with it so don't expect something with that.

Projects are developing at different rates. Someone goes to the market faster and the price rises. In contrast, everything is sad with the price. I am currently following several projects that were allegedly dead. However, they restored their activity and move on before.

If you are speaking about bounty tokens, then yes, there is a possibility that the project has gone scam and these tokens have no value, but there is another possibility that those tokens will raise their price on the green market.

There are a lot of scam projects and now I understand that most people still have very bitter experience in using investments in cryptocurrency projects. Now they are trying to avoid strange projects as advised by people.

Yes, this is a common procedure now , many projects do not want to enter the exchange due to the fact that the market is very much sagged , I had a situation when the token was not withdrawn for six months and then it is higher and cost good money

it is true that now many projects are deceiving many people, especially investors. so with a lot of fraud in the ICO world, many investors have stopped investing again so that the ICO is not as popular as in 2017

Just watch closely the team members and devs of the project may be on their telegram community group to understand their intention because sometimes it might require that investors give them time to get the work done as stated on the whitepaper. Although the project roadmap is suppose to be followed squarely and in a case whereby the dates stated cannot be meant, communication is suppose to be pass across to the community on the latest developments and why the deadline can't be beaten.

i think it depends, for example, the developer of the token is still trying to increase the price of tokens in the time I say is not a scam, but as long as it's not a reason but if within 6 months they just say "I'm trying", "I'm working behind the scenes but the result is that there is no change at all you must be prepared to accept the worst possibility of your token is shit token or scam

Well, the chance of fraud in such a market is much higher than when there was a bullish trend , I think we should still expect, since we simply have no other choice , we need to invest or engage in bounty further and do not expect anything from the project

It depends where you get this token from,is it from airdrop or bounty ? What research have you done on this token because many airdrops are scam and they will keep posting you guys just to lure people to buy there fake tokens ,the more people are joining there telegram channel the more people will want to buy ,its just a trick.

So you mean you have tokens from project which is not in hurry to list token to exchange? if yes then no if can be a really great project where team dont need dump tokens have a plan and real roadmap and just follow it , so if most of the projects go to exchanges after ICO ends, it doesn't mean ICO don't follow this rule is a scam.

Scams?? MAYBE. I think to date many tokens have no value in the bear season. We cannot be sure, without any developments and information from the development team in one of the projects that we follow. And I have the same problem after distribution, which has no value at all. Maybe it will turn into a useless junk coin. Be patient

We have different situations on this bearish market conditions like postponing /delaying the sale, listings etc.
Several months of delaying is nothing serious if the thing is active on delivering their promises.
So, it depends on the situation what is the reason for that.

Unfortunately I'm finding countless scammers projects!
And it seems, the current MN represent the preference of these coup makers today!
No matter the year or the season, there will always be this kind of activity because there is always someone being cheated!
This situation greatly hinders any deep adoption.
Most people are not willing to spend time to understand the mechanics of cryptocurrencies.
So these same people are easy targets.

Sometimes listing takes time which may exceed 2 months but some tokens list even before the end of their ICO. A token that is 2 months old and isn't listed anywhere doesn't mean it's scam or not. Just follow the tokens progress and you will know how much effort the team is putting into listing it.

if the developer is still trying to increase the price of the token or is looking for the right exchange for the token, the token still has the possibility to have a value in the futurebut if the token developer doesn't care and even leaves the project, it can be ascertained that the scam and token are only shitcoin
if indeed the developer is still working hard to increase the price of the token, you are better off to wait for the token to have value

Maybe we cannot know that until you wait again more months because it's not easy to listed the token but once you wait more than 1 year for sure that scam and you need to move on for that. Because that for me is the maximum waiting for the coin to be listed because if that good project they did not want to wait the investor and participants to trade their token because they will get more profit once it happens.

I think it's very normal and you don't need to worry too much. Try to examine the project and ask questions at the telegram groove they have. I have coins even for 5 to 8 months and until now you don't have a price yet. But if Bitcoin and all Altcoin can pump back very high, I think more ICO coins will have a selling price.

What about now? Are your coins have value now? If no then yes they are sure shot scam. I have experience with the Wemarkt token, I hodl this coins more than 5 months when there was no exchange for WMK tokens, so there was no volume! But as Wemark is trusted project that's why I wasn't tensed about it. Now WMK has a good volume!

Indeed, for new token sometimes need more time to list in exchanger. Altcoin project need time to grow in exchanger because many investor have focus on main cryptocurrency. Patient with new project or token when listed in exchanger

If the coins or your token have no value for 2 months it means, that coin is one of the shit you know!
and that coins usually increase through pumpers and common sense it is obviously a scam shitcoin.
So better stay away from it, it is equivalent of suicidal for me.

I think the token that you bought is running a real project or the team is managing which market will be the market for the coin, you can wait for it or you can check it in ethetdelta because it is usually the initial market for a coin

Which token are you holding now? If all those token have listed in the exchange over 2 months without the trading volume, it sure to turn to dead coins later, I have many token like this and all is the dead coins.

A very normal story, man. I used to have a coin that took a year to be listed on the exchange, as long as the DEV team was still active, still supporting investors and hunter, that coin you could still trust.

I have hold some token for quite a long time without listing because the market conditions are bad and they keep telling us that it's not a good time to go to an exchange because of the market.  It's not a scam, give it time till when they list. We all knows the market is actually bad

First you need to look at the roadmap when they promise listing. If there is no listing at the promised time, then this is most likely a fraud.

This is normal. A team can have a lot of work. And all the time they spend on the product. If you did not want to pay, they would simply disappear

During cryptocurrency periods now spread the trickster or better known as cryptocurrency scammers. they are harder to deal with because they talk to the people they are scam, they are hardworking but in the wrong way they use it, if the correct method they would have used it would be better for investors and bounty hunters to be careful of the project's attendants not to lose and not to plunge time and money.

If a token has no value for 2 months, this does not mean that the token is the exactly a scam. Perhaps team members may be trying to list the token on various exchanges. And sometimes it takes a long time. Therefore, you should do more research to determine whether the token is scam. I recommend that you check out the roadmap and search for team members. Then you can make more accurate decision about that token yourself.

in my opinion this is still a very reasonable time, 2 months is a short time in developing a project, they definitely have a roadmap, you can see it on WP. so you are the time you are waiting for the sustainability process of the project you are following.

I believe that every project has a roadmap of how the platform is going to be designed over the years even if their token was given by airdrop or you make purchase. So I don't think the token not being listed in 2 months makes it a scam, all you need do is check the roadmap to see when they actually specify when the listing will be taking place, whether it before the 2 months you have spent or after the two months. If it as gone space their specified time, then you can conclude that it's a scam.

It is not the same in every situation depending on the crypto coin. I have seen zero value coins that pumped hard after getting listed on the exchanges.

There is no meaning that the listing time should fit exactly to the roadmap. Sometimes it might be good to get out of the roadmap to think about the good future for project. Even some projects have been waiting for months without being listed.

Unfortunately, your tokens will most likely remain on your wallet in the form of useless garbage. If there are no exchange volumes, then no one needs a token, not even the project team.

Nowadays, scams ICO projects are plenty and we should always be careful before investing in one of them by reading about the project and also searching about the teams to be sure that they are not fakes persons, Also by taking a look at their social media sites, just by a simple research you can find out if the project is legit or not, even if the investor is a newbie, he can take a look at the feedbacks about the project and then he can decide according to that.

2 months is not a long time. I see many altcoins and tokens that having no value in some exchanges.
That is because the ICO doesn't have any progress in their developments. Even if they plan to listing on other exchanges, the value won't going up because no one interest about the coin.

now such simple research cannot be relied upon anymore, because the more here scammer are getting smarter to make their projects look legit, my advice is better to avoid ICOs and look for IEOs to invest because it is difficult for scammer in the IEO

First, where should you mention the results of the token? and what tokens? so that other people can provide solutions to this problem. if you only say that, we can only estimate that the possibility of a token or coin that you have is difficult to develop if it comes from the results of airdrops and if the reward program results may not have (exchange) or coin development is fairly slow (the team is not serious)

The bear market is full of unpleasant surprises, and scammers take advantage of it. But if the team does not welcome dump tokens, and they actively inform all participants about their intentions and plans for a successful future, then the project is quite good.

It is a scam if they don't have updates for more than half a year to a year.

It will not have its value if the coin will not be on exchanges.

2.5 months and you are complaining about it not been listed. Personal, i have about ten different tokens which have been in my wallet for almost a year but they are still not listed. Usually, scam projects do not have a definite plans for listing their tokens. I think you should just take your mind of the coin and the project in general cause its just a waste of time thinking about it.

If you are an investor you must follow their own Telegram Group to know the latest developments of the project

Not to mention reading the whitepaper to know the roadmap
There are projects that take a period more than of 2.5 months according to the roadmap.

I also have a few coins like that and that really sucks, do you also feel it? but even though it sucks but I still hope that one day the coin can be registered on the exchange because it's now quite difficult to get coins and after getting it, I don't want all my efforts to be in vain

I depends 100 percent on your project if it's a scam or not. We can't say yet because we don't know your project. Some projects just need time to be successful. If the team makes updates it shouldn't be a problem so don't worry.

There are different projects, I have projects which six months stopped working on exchange, but of course on such a market many Scam have projects !

yes market conditions, long-term correction dictates the terms, despite the fact that many empty companies, also good projects, cannot raise funds that as a result leads to a skam, I hope recovery of the market will change this picture.

you should read more, learn more. any big business needed years to became million$business. 2 months haha) sell it on etherdelta and go to work in mcdonalds.

You know what your mistake is. Because you are comparing everything with McDonalds. Today it is your big minus. You think that the person is doing the wrong thing by selling the coins of the project. He sells them kakraz that would be possible today to give himself the opportunity to live. Debugs 10-15% for the future and continues to work. If I spent so much time on work, or on other projects, I would probably have achieved more. Sit here 24/7 and turn over tons of information.

You must check again that the coin is still active. Many of my coins are also not included in the Exchange and are longer than you. If the coin is still active, I think they are waiting until the market conditions are pumping again. Because if you are registered in a collapsed condition, of course, the price of the coin will also decrease.

If a coin is not a security token, then why the long wait. It is only security tokens that I believe the law demands they wait to up to a year before listing on exchange. Perhaps to give the early investors the  reward or dividend they deserve.

So many scams in cryptocurrency so be aware of those specially on investing because there are ICOS that are scams,We can't stop them but we cant prevent if we know how to look for a good bounty projects and ICOs.Before investing make sure you review the projects and check your wallets also because even wallet can be scammed.

Scam projects are not the only ones, but wallets are also a lot of trickery in projects that are due to lack of cryptocurrency knowledge that they are often sscam and fraud. How much investors and bounty hunters are doing the same Scammers are more than double their hard work in the wrong way, and one of the most common is that transferring coins or tokens can also  be scammed by scammers.

They tokens you have held may not be from a scam I think if you connect scams to the period between the distribution of tokens and its exchange hitting. I have heard that many projects take as long as one year since the distribution of tokens to put tokens in exchanges. In fact I have experienced the same situation. Some projects have delayed over half a year to hit exchanges since the distribution of tokens. So it is early to say that the tokens you have been holding for over two months may come from scams.

I have some tokens that are not valuable for like half a year of so, but the team members are not active in Telegram saying that they are busy by development. Nobody can say if it is true, but the possibility of this project turn scam is there.

funny buddy, i have many token whos didnt have price or value over a year, it was surely failed project, but its different from scam one.

2.5 months is too early to conclude that a certain project is a scam. Now that the market is down we couldn't expect a good value from new altcoins. Some projects are still developing even after several months so the best thing that you could do is to observe and to do a series of research about that project's development and future plans.  

Well, Basically I am holding a token and these token isn't even listed, I guess if the team that manages the particular coin that you have states and announce something, then stick with it, do believe them, maybe they are just following their road map for the success of the project and benefits of the contributors.

It is still far from being scam dude. I have hodl a token for 8 months, without exchange and I have been able to have profit on that for 5x my investment. Just be patient and don't rush thing.

First, it is so soon to conclude that it is scam. There are tokens whose developers have no intention of listing in any time soon, if you are them they will say they are working on their product. But on the other hand, if the developers or team no longer show interest whether in the Telegram group or otherwise then there might be a possibility that it is scam.

we can realize and see that crypto prices are currently less stable, and I think that is a natural thing if your coins do not have value, and my advice is that you should be patient.

the risk of fraud is always there especially when the token is not distributed, I do not say that they will do a scam because maybe the team deliberately postpone or find the right time to distribute reward tokens but everyone will definitely feel worried and even suspicious if the token that should be distributed is not landed on our wallet

Reasonable because 2.5 months is a normal thing, because I see the icon project, there are people who have to wait almost half a year to get the value, but it happened because the project raised funds only reached softcaps, but some also got high funding but experienced the same the possibility is a project that falsifies funds

now there are a lot of new coins that experience fraud because the price is always not there when the project is finished, so to choose coins it's better to always be careful and choose coins that have long been on the market there will be no fraud

There is a lot of fraud in the cryptocurrency, because nobody will punish for it because of strong anonymity, you have to be careful and trust nobody

Initially, anonymity coins became popular. And when the scammers paid attention to them. Having problems with anonymity. Of course, now just without studying the project you should not invest. Study everything in detail.

now a lot of such projects which SKAM was originally planned,or in the course of collecting money and promoting the project,I realized that not master it,and so I decided to take the money and run,there are of course,unfortunately, such greedy people spoil the projects,for which there is a great future,I am convinced that soon there will be less proykov are a SCAM because now is more Control of the SEC and the States

This is indeed the worst part of bounty hunting or investors investing on coins, buying ico or hunting for a particular project and at the end the project refused to list on a good exchange or been listed and trading with a very shit price, but I guess soon all this issue will be sorted out and crypto will be free from scam.

It is really difficult for us to make accurate conclusions about tokens when they are not listed on exchange pages. Because the crypto market may be bad and meet bad conditions, the tokens have not been up the exchange page. But it can also be scammed because it has been 2.5 months after the end of the project but still is not listed on the transaction page.

The instability in the market has caused fear in the heart of some developers, which is why they would not want to risk listing, because their tokens will dump drastically, but contrary to that, if a coin has a true value, the value should be put to test amidst an unstable market.

With me there was the same situation) At the moment I have 50 different coins on the exchange traded only 13. This is very bad but now such a cryptocurrency industry.

I do not consider this situation normal. But that is the reality now. Listing on the stock exchange is a really difficult thing but it is solvable. Very often, the organizers of the IPO do not want to spend money to pay a fee to the exchange and therefore a lot of investors refuse to cryptocurrency and think that there is only deception.

Two is still under control, some token use to take 3-4 months after ICO before they are listing. But it us better you contact them and ask when exactly they will do that.

That's something to be afraid of, but if it is a bear trend it's understandable but if the market is good, and the developer is still having second thought to get it in the market, that could only mean he doesn't want to spend listing his coin or afraid holders will just dump them I have bad experience with Konios, after they list the coin the team just banished..

In my opinion the good project is Always professional and do whatever their promise to us on time. what kind of reason they have?

Since I being Bounty hunter for 2 year, The ico's who always delaying and  dream talker 90% probably a scam or fraud.

ICOBench is full of scammers that calls themselves "experts", but they can't influence any project and 99% of them are russian unemployed people.

Well, it's only been 2.5 months since I was excited, I have a token that has been developing for more than 5 months, not as I expected, just ordinary. but that doesn't mean it's a scam, sometimes we as a trader misjudge our own coins. but I am still confident and believe that the tokens that I have will pay off for me.

that is not scam, but you just get shit token, and when you got some token but not have price/ very cheap, you just can hope soon they will increase because you can do nothing

Fraud may occur but there can be other possibilities, depending on the map path if it has exceeded the map can be said to be fraud because it has passed the plan written on the map in my opinion yes hopefully fraud things for now do not happen again

Fraud is everywhere scam remiain constant in blockchain but one thing I belive is some scammer do sell there coin cheap so as to see better buyer to fall victim and those who do price coin high and later run away with the coin. I believe if blockchain still keep growing fraud wont stop 

Two and half months without value for a token is not enough to call it  a scam as we are facing tough times on the market. Some tokens were not listed on the exchanges for longer period waiting for the product development. You have to check if the team is active or not and make some research on the progress of the project.

I agree,You should check if their team is doing something to keep their crypto alive maybe they haven't list it to save it from being undervalued crypto,Maybe they are focusing on the developmebt before listing it.
But you could always check the decentralized exchange like forkdelta and etherdelta if it is an Erc20 token .

The scammers in the crypto market can take place everywhere. So the tokens are paid but just a pile of garbage is very popular. In my experience, the tokens are distributed but 2.5 months are not listed. Can only be phishing almost 90 percent.

Don't conclude too early, mate. Have you checked the circulation "buy-trade" of your tokens on exchanges? If there are many people trade or buy the coins, it indicates that they are not scam coins, even the prices are very cheap. I also have many coins at cheap prices, but I am not afraid as long as they have good volumes on exchanges with proper circulation. And also the teams/developers still continue the development.

You can trade your token in decentralized exchange like Etherdelta or Forkdelta.
If you want to buy or sell it, just place few orders there, no need to waiting for listing by team.
Listing token or coin in exchange is not cheap. Maybe the dev team don't want to spend their money on listing.

Some projects like BOB, Shivom, 4NEW KWATTS took more than 2.5 months before listing yet they are one of the successful projects now on the market. Depending on the product and idea of the project, sometimes it takes several months for the team to get products ready and some projects prefer to get ready their product before getting listed on the market. Just be patient and follow up on the project for more updates.

If the ICO is still ongoing its a good reason not to get listed for some devs and I've seen good projects that got listed very late but they are far from scam

but usually those registered in ED or FD with prices that are manipulated or not actual. very cheap price. and if they are part of a scam they will not be able to sell because there is no way that someone will accidentally buy junk coins.

if the cryptocurrency will be implemented in many developed countries, then other countries will follow this example. Legalization of cryptocurrency in one case implements the ability to control new projects a, To avoid fraud and protect users of cryptocurrency, in particular, among investors.

Scam or not, about all altcoins have lost about all their value...
So what?

Sometimes it can't be confirmed because there are many other things that have an effect, for example as a scenario. If within 2 months your token has no value or is low, your coins may be weak or less productive especially when the market is critical. That is the importance of investing in good coins.

Not exactly. Maybe the listing is not a team priority. You should contact them and demand a response.

Just hold and hope for the better. No one can tell the mind of these project developers, they just come up with anything these days and force investors to play to their tune. If the coin is valueless now, just put off ur mind for now, it might still do unexpectedly in future.

There is a possibility that it is really a scam. But if you keep on monitoring your coins and the development promised that it will be listed then just wait, don't be demanding for the immediate listing of your tokens on crypto exchange/s because sometimes the delay on listing is for the sake of the project/s to become more successful once it was listed on good exchange/s.

Not only does the cryptocurrency market enter a scam but it is almost a trend of trend and the market is happening
so we should take care of them but no matter how beautiful as the project shows the developers can fool and run it if they drown in investments and if they think their project will not succeed.

I've had coins longer which does not have value either. 2 months in this bear market period is not really long. I would probably think that they're just waiting for the right timing coz many people said that 2019 is a bull year for crypto.

Yes it might be a scam project where in after listing, your token dies together with the disappearance of the project devs. It hurts to see our token dies but it's the reality that you somehow joined a scam project.

We cant go for a conclusion, if that project is scam why there keep telling and keep updating their social accounts? So maybr they are just waiting for a best moment to enter in an exchange. They should not do things so fast. It should be decided rightly to avoid future problems.

Many of these talk about ending a bounty can say that it is not just a list of a token of exchangers who want the bounties that are there because many other processes will be done especially if only a bounty project first after ico before discussing the admin where the exchanger will place their token but it depends on how much the project has raised in ico and their raised money will be used to pay their exchanger a bounty or project is a scam or project because of lack of information in their project and investor.

It is necessary to get used to the idea that fraudsters will always exist.  And so you need to be very careful.  You yourself will not change anything anyway.

Listing could be a tedious process for some trading platforms especially the big ones. But I know the major factor necessary to list in most exchange is the payment of listing fee which is quite outrageous for some exchange. If the project could pay for the listing fee, then every other requirement can be achieved. 2.5 months is still too young to call the project scam. You can wait for 6 months before making your decision.

Two and a half months is a bit too early to call an ICO a scam if has not yet been listed on an exchange. Of course, being listed on the right exchanges can make or break a token, but some projects prioritize development ahead of being on exchanges. Perhaps the new IEO craze will resolve this problem of getting listed.

In my opinion, it is a natural thing. I have waited for the value of my token for almost one year. But I am still optimistic that I will benefit from the token. I don't think that can be said as fraud. Crypto currency market is very crowded so to wait for a token or coin to reach a good position takes a long time. Especially if the tokens that we have are less innovative in bringing technological excellence.

indeed it is difficult to find the right exchange, too soon you think that the token that you have had for 2 months is a scam, I have a lot of shitcoin in the wallet that I keep for a long time, you must be patient maybe the project is trying to be registered in a big exchange

Listing is laborious? In this day where there are tons of cool crypto exchanges? It's either they don't want to spend or they are lazy. If they still reply chances are that they may not be a scam. They may be afraid that their tokens will lose value when it hits market. OR they are just a scam just DEAL WITH IT AND MOVE ON

There would be always a possibility of scam projects, because the market is still very unstable and there are some dishonest people here. But if a token has no value, it does not mean that it would be worthless as well in the future.

What tokens do you have? I also have many tokens that have low value. But I'm sure someday the price will definitely rise again.

For me token been delayed to be listed is not a big deal, just hold on to the token and wait for the team to conclude on the best exchange to list the token.

Tokens do not have a value after 2 months is a natural thing, and it is too early to conclude this as a fraud. Maybe the team is trying to register the token at the right exchange, and of course, it requires a long process. Patience is needed to deal with these problems, it does not rule out the possibility that in the future the coins will have a very high value.

First, make sure not to Listing in many small exchanges, such as HOTBIT and others. Note that the new currencies are Listing in these exchanges at first, because the drawer conditions are easy.

I think to be able to be directly registered in a large exchange place directly it seems very difficult to happen because of course it requires a very large cost and those project founders who do not have good money capital and good platforms will find it difficult to enter.

Some of my coins were not active for more than a year, and then they started trading on several exchanges, so the lack of activity of the token does not mean that it is trash.

Dump doesn't happen due to team's unresponsive actions and some factors are untouchable by big investors. Regarding the bounty scams, I personally hate the delayed distribution and useless lies.

2.5 months, of course, they don’t talk about anything, but they make you think. Too many coins have no value. You need to watch their website and chats in which they are, if there is no activity there, then most likely they are messengers.

my opinion is to find the camp we need the guidance of the previous experience with people for that we need to make something better like a group conversation between the people who are scammed here then only it will be a learning for everyone.

It seems to me that after the government accepts cryptocurrency.  Scammers calm down a bit.  Moreover, technologies are becoming stronger and stronger every day.

I think it is depend on a project how it will be proceed.I have many tokens. but still i have not sell them. but for good  time waiting too long may be i loose patience.many exchanges are also responsible this situation create.

Most of the scam ico project, they run away the fund capital of their investors. Or most of the token they didn't meet their target goal in the market which is lead to their community to abandon it, sometimes they've finished the ico and yet they're not transparent to tell it the truth.

Yes most maybe are ICO but i also see some scams on another airdrops projects, they give the coins via airdrop asking to do some works for, like retweet, make discord activity, but they also have a lot of accounts on airdrop and also they get coins from huge premined amounts and after coin is listed on exchange and have some value they start selling or worst some of coins from premine are selled and they say is a hack and is not their fault, or another problem is when they gather funds for listing on some exchange and they say that one of admins trick them and run away with over 1 bitcoin without pay listing fee.

if there are no more developments and the token project team has disappeared so that the token has no price, it is sure to be a scam, but if the team is still active maybe they are still waiting for the right moment to list their coins to the market patiently waiting for developments from the project team.
doing a list in the market is indeed not easy, it needs a lot of things to do so that later when the token has entered the market there are many investors and traders who want to have it.

2,5 months is really short period for listing. Many campaigns not in hurry with listing, as they got other things to do, and listing/trading is second part.
Best way - read a roadmap, usually it mentioned there estimated period of listing  ;)

Would have been better if you drop the name of the token? I believe that if a project is legit they won't fear listing on exchanges, if listing is been delayed without reasonable reasons it's scam token

If you answer that there is a chance that this is not a scam. You have to believe. 2.5 months is a very short time. I have coins that came to my wallet and are already more than a year old. Their price = 0

First you should know where your token come in your wallet. If you get doing bounty, Then ask on bounty telegram that their token listed on exchange. Without listed any exchange dose not show any value of your token.

if the team is still around and the project behind the altcoin you hold is enough strong, there is no need to worry so much. some good projects prefer to list with better timing. but if the project is not a good one it is possible that you are scammed.

Sometimes the team may choose to delay exchange listing due to reasons best known to them.. but 90% of the time.. the project ends up as a scam project.. I can name a few for you if you want

You should contact the developers for clarification, if they can't tell you anything about the listing or violate deadlines, then it is likely that this project is a scam for pumping out money. But sometimes it happens, if this is an unfavorable situation in the market, so as not to collapse the rate of the coin.

There is a big probability you felt victim to a scam. However note that your tokens may be worth millions in the market and still be a scam. Be careful because the market may take a long time to accurately price the scam tokens.

Always watch the roadmap and read the news in the chat of  Telegram. Some projects go on the exchange and much later than two months. And this doesn't mean that the project is scam, it's common practice.

That's right what you say if many exchanges are not always the same in exchange time on the market and sometimes tokens have no value in the sense that the project is indeed a failure. we better wait and continue to monitor because the possibility is not a scam or a token that is still weak in price.

If the project sticks to the roadmap stated on the whitepaper then it shouldn't be a problem to believe them and keep investing. Good projects never disappear overnight and their CEOs accepts the best possible decisions based on the situation, conditions.

yes, we really don't know exactly what the developer plans to develop the project so we cannot make a decision in a hurry.
For example, sometimes teams delay registering because they think the time is not right and that is not fraud.

I have come across coins that had no exchange for long, where they could be traded and the real value determined.
One waits for 8 months after the end of the ICO, before listing. The other is over a year now and yet it has not been not been listed.
I still be Kiev in the project, because I understand what is is up to.

The biggest scammers of the market are the bogus ico editors. I wish there was a precaution against them.

As you know most of tokens are scams and some tokens and coins are good project so you should wait if you have tokens and may be in some cases that can be profitable.

If that token came from bounty or airdrop, maybe that means that the ICO you've join is not successful after their project. I also have tokens with no value at all. Some of them have value but I still don't want to sell it at the moment because of the low value of it. Maybe I should still hold them.

usually it happens because the market situation is not good besides the developers who are not serious in managing their projects further, I also have tokens from the ico project until now there have been no price changes or maybe it's better to wait in the next few months until they have an exchange.

Scams are inevitable. You can't avoid them, as the investor's concern;  many of them still holding back because of the threat of fraudulent scam. Wherein in just wrong move all money that you invest can eaisly gone in just a single snap. I think the government should focus in this topic in order to lessen and be punish all people involve in this illegal activity.

Now a lot of people sit and remember their situation. I am sure that it is identical in 80 percent of bounty hunters because the policy of ICO projects is always the same. The saddest thing is that with this situation, we can not do anything. We can only hope that the project is ready to spend a huge amount of money to pay the exchange and enter the listing.

I've hold a new token for 6 months before they actually get listed and since then it's trading on more exchanges so there is a chance that the delay is for the better, any roadmap or whitepaper?go through that first then you will now if it's worth to wait or not

I thought that was normal because some of my coins also could not be sold. Even though it's been almost 4 to 5 months and I think you have to be patient. But if you are in doubt, you can check by reading the project roadmap. And you also have to find project information through social media accounts. But if all are no longer active, chances are the project is cheating.

if it's been proven scam why should you wait? even though it is registered in exchange, it does not guarantee that they will be good in the future. some of the exchanges even manipulate their trading volume. if there is any discrepancy, leave it.

I think it is too early to jump into conclusions that the coins you are holding will turn out to be scam. I think it should be up to 5 or 6 months before you can conclude that your tokens are scam. I had to wait on a coin for a whole year before it was listed.

Check smart contract of token, and also activity of comunity, so many token dead today, they stop developing cause long term bearish, so check the development too!

There is a possibility that it can be a scam. If the token is not listed in some exchanges then you cannot see its value and you must visit their social media account or more accurately you can visit to their website to gather some information.

Most promises will make you more disappointed. I have also encountered a situation like you, I got tokens for three months but couldn't trading them and now those tokens become trash.

Obviously, they couldn't care less the end result for the undertaking and they guarantee that you would feel safe. Actually, I have a great deal of such activities and I don't know that they will ever go to the market and they will lie there always dead weight on their wallet. It is smarter to quickly disregard such ventures for the last time or offer them on a decentralized exchange, ordinary activities are issued following ico or amid it. At the point when the opportunity arrives for posting on the market, they won't have any cash on their records in any case.

Since at present fraud prevails in the ICO sector, any unjustified delay associated with the transfer of tokens is fairly suspicious. You should not continue to spend time and energy in search of truth, since your time is the most expensive resource, and no one will compensate for it.

I think the scammers are living their last days, considering how hard the legislation of Europe and the United States has taken up the development of legal regulations for the regulation of cryptocurrency, then scammers simply will not have platforms for creating fraudulent schemes.

it is not normal but that does not mean that the project you are following is a project because there are several factors or reasons why the token does not immediately enter the market. some reasons are because developers want to find the right moment like when bullrun comes or maybe the developer wants to avoid the dump especially when the market situation is bad because when the market is bad and the coin has a dump, it will be very difficult for the coin to recover.

Unfortunately this is happening now with many companies due to the fact that the cryptocurrency market is not in the best condition, and in general some companies do not want to list their token on exchange for various reasons that are unknown to us, but of course many companies are just a scam.

it is not easy for new tokens to be registered in the market, I feel the same as you, many tokens from the results of the Bounty that I have followed have no value for months, you must be patient, maybe the project team is trying to listed on big market, currently there are many tokens that have no value because the project failed and did not reach hardcap, but you have to believe that the token you have will give you a big profit

it's normal,  I have held a token for almost a year now which still don't have the intention to enter the market because of the market conditions but dey keep updating it's holders with its product development

unfortunately this is all the norm for current development of cryptocurrency
I also had several companies that did not pay bounty immediately, but only after several months.
If it is already more than 4-5 months, then this is already a factor in fact that the project is scam.

It's always best to avoid projects like this at first. I don't know why it's going to be taking you up to five months without being able to sell your tokens, seems like it is a scam. If the project is over their social accounts are not active and they are also not giving any reply to your questions, then it is a major scam and they have just cheated you guys and made away with it. The only thing that pisses me off is that there is no way to deal with these guys. Lots of them will cheat people and escape from being punished, because there is no way to tell who they are.

For 2 months is not too long, if their projects development can be running long time ever. I think If their projects, ICO time, good exchange may take long time then properly you need waiting 4-5 month. But if you got Airdrop token and their no have exchange at 2-3 month over then surely it will be scam allowance.

There is a lot of fraud in cryptospace. Therefore, if you do not own your coins, you can assume that you do not have them. Now very few projects can be trusted.

Lol, they are telling you that it is a heavy work for them like who does that kind of sh--. This just looks like a scam, it will be best that you leave that and never look back, cause I see it, it's already turning to something else. You should even go through the comments here and almost everyone is saying the same thing as well. So the best thing for you to do now is just run without even looking back, cause this looks like a scam that you've fallen into.

If the coin has not been traded on the stock exchange for two and a half months and this is due to the project roadmap, then this is normal. If the team simply does not give anything all this time, then, unfortunately, you have to forget about it. There are a lot of scams now.

It is all depends in the improvement and success of the project, then we will not call it scam if you didn't invest or buy in there coin of any amount of money if you just joined their bounty campaigns or to their airdrop.

My best guess is that you either have no clue about what you are talking about OR you were very drunk when you wrote that answer.

Scammers will be rampant in the crypto scene for a long time dude, for as long as they can make money off of clueless people.

I have some altcoins that has no value until now, The staff at the telegram groups always says that they need more time to improve and enhance their coin.But then no one has proof of what they are saying is true, And so the percentage of the project that it could be abandoned or simply as a scam is high.

I know what you mean. In other words action speaks louder than words, and if they are all talk, it's probably a scam and not a legitimate project, rather a get rich quicksceme for the team. Been a lot of those up through the years.

Scams are common when each and every activity happens through internet. Here with cryptocurrency most things happen beyond the internet connectivity in an anonymous manner. To get away from scams is easy, and we should have the continued observation and learning to stand out of the scams. Whenever we are to invest, it is a must to make a long term research and then make the further proceedings.

Indeed, we've seen a lots of this kind of projects where the devs team keep saying their promises but nothing to show up, whatever you do there's nothing that will change the fact that we are just relying with how the team will bring to their projects,sad to say that scam will always be a part of this investment venue.

You just had token with you 2-5 months and you are complaining and tagging it a scam? I have had mine for over 6 months and am not complaining.  If the project team has been updating you guys about its development then there is nothing to worry about

The process of a new token to reach the crypto market is not easy. It takes a long time and it also depends on the work of the developer team. It is recommended to check the project. There should be a media account that can provide information about the project.

Yes, it is normal practice. You just can not imagine how much money they want to exchange for listing. Actually exchange is a wolf in the guise of a hare. At the same time it is good and bad for the project.

2.5 months to me is too early to judge if the coin you are holding is a scam. It might not have any value for now or listed on any market but it doesn't mean it's a scam.

Scammers will never abandon the cryptosphere, now it is the easiest way for them to earn. And fraud in the future will be even more
