Can you tell me what you wish ICO projects would share more of to help you trust them more / make an investment?

We have finally published our ICO project - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5123256 and your input  can help us make it better!

For me I want the team of the project to be have transparency about them and about the project. Because some of the ICO didn't want to show their face and information about them. And I lastly I want them to have good partners and exchanges while the token sale is not finish yet to have more assurance to my investment.

I agree, this is a very good point as team members are major factor to determine potential success of a project, also it shows that the project is credible and not a scam.

A perfect token sale for you to participate would be Poseidon Foundation, team and advisors are experts and all have 10+ years experience in different fields.

Most of the time really meaningless projects in the market. Every ICO should evaluate their idea first and come into the market. Every investor look for the team capability so always it's good to have a good team with the strong background. And the most important thing the Project idea, If a project has a working model is built then really good.

I wish they would share longer term plans instead of just 1-2 years. Also they should disclose all presale and private sale prices and how much they have actually raised so far

I want that they could prove to investors that their project is valuable and will be used. The market is full of projects that promise to do something or release after many years, we need those projects that give the product now and without beautiful promises. I will invest in such projects, because I can already appreciate what it costs.

Nowadays most of the projects are actually ended up being a scam. To invest in ICO one should first go through the idea first. Feasibility is a key here to succeed then one should evaluate the team members capability; it can be judged through their experience. Team member plays a vital role here to the investor to trust in a project.

From my point of view; I want the team who are working on the project to be transparent to the investors; so that investors can learn about them. I also hope them to prove their project valuable and trustworthy. They have to expose the sales price they have charged and raised so far. If all these happen; I will invest in such projects.

It is a very good question to be asked and what I think the ICOs should do first is to increase the security system of investment. We have seen many times false ICOs have come into the market and have taken all the coins form the investors. They should also transparent their longer plans regarding projects.

I totally agree with you on this. Transparency is key and if investors knew exactly how the project and its people are preparing to deal with the forthcoming situations as well as delivering a good service, there'll be no complains. 

Just show to the investors if they are really funding a real company, a real investment that will improve that company's service and operation.

That is the reason why ICO's are created, to show and support on how great tech's must be appreciated and to be well funded so it can progress although it is lack of funds.

I wish the ICOs to have some good projects instead of impossible and useless ones. Beside I would be really glad if all the terms and conditions are above board and nothing is kept hidden. The assurance of transparency is a must to trust on a ICO.

To me the project has become very secure and potential. Their ICO has made me interested. I want to be their partner and invest. I think it will do something good in the future.

I think the companies who share ICOs should have more transperancy with their customers and they should have long term plans. The team should also be credible so that people can keep their faith on them.

They should show what they really have achieved except for opening an office.
They should show the real documentation and papers for partnership or deals with real business and companies, at least to the investors.
They should public their investment collection address. Use of smart contracts wherever possible.

I think that  ICO project should have - professional team, clear development plan and a reliable security system. And of course he must have an original product, that will be in demand on market. Team members should have public profiles in social networks, in which would indicate experience of work in previous projects.

Indeed, the ICO project needs to reveal more information now that it wants to raise money.
There's been a lot of hype around these projects, and they haven't released any information.

I search the team behind ICO so this is more important to me. If there were more information available it would be better.

Yeah i think it will be better if the projects become more transparent. It will be easier to have trust on projects then. Also it will attract more investors as they showed every possibilities.

I think they should more transparent about their raised amount of money in cryptocurrency.
There is only a few ICO's that give the public address of wallet collecting the funds. It will boost confidence of investors.

I think ICOs should make certain things clear to the people. Like the team behind it; a long term vision; etc. It will make them more trustworthy and popular.

Every investor wants to invest on a good project. That’s why i think they could help investors which project is more profitable. Because right now so many projects are available in the market but all are not profitable.

They should be transparent. They should let us know their future plans in longer term and also should have good partners and exchanges to make the investors more assure about their investment.

The major thing I want from any ICO project is their transparency. The team members behind the entire project plays a vital role to make that project profitable for both them and the investors.

I m always interested in the product and their activity before ICO as well as a biography of team members and their work experiences

Having a strong team and proper community support of your ICO project is very essential. As for their project you are investing that particular ICO should build that expected trust between investors and them.

Before investing, you need to know everything about the project and its capabilities. You also have to learn as much information about as possible to the team and advisors. Only the totality of this knowledge will tell you whether to invest in a project.

To me; the project seems to be very secure and profitable. I want to be their partner. My investment I have an interest in this project. I think the project will make good profits in the future. I think their ICO are more good and potential.

"ICO is a good investment you just need to be on the right one. icohotlist.com and
coinschedule.com are 2 of the websites that list ICO."

"I am also a newbie in terms of ICOs. I invested my money to loyalcoin a month ago. It's because
I trust the guys behind the ICO. They have a great reputation in my country. So I decide to join
the ICO. But; I suggest before we invest our money to ICO; we need to research first the
background of the company or atleast read the white paper.
"

"www.coinschedule.com is a great site to find high quality ICOs; especially the ones in gold at the
top. I have serious gains on every ICO I've ever invested in; so I would say it's a pretty damn
good investment as long as you do your due diligence.
"

I think projects are trying to be as transparent as possible by laying out their whitepaper for us to read prior to their launch. Honestly, I think the biggest problem is the team's credibility. For example, if a certain project is run by Sasha Ivanov (Waves) , Matt Nolan (Menlo One), or Da Hongfei (Neo) would you put your absolute trust in them? I know I would.

There are many fake ICO projects which are available in the current market. So; the members should show their identity and has to assure the investors to create trust among people.

People work in the project and invest their cryptocurrencies to get the profit. Sometimes because of the poor projects idea can ruin the whole project which may not create any profit. So; the members should focus on the project idea.

If they provide long terms plans for the investor then it will help us to take correct decision and they can also disclose the prices.

I personally notice the concept they are working on. If it's a noble one or helps solving any of the real life problem then it makes me interested. But; for checking reliability I do a thorough research on the team; community and roadmap. If I find anything shady in these three; I don't invest on those ICOs.

I think having proper transparency about their goals and objectives along with promoting a credible team which is not fake publicity stunt like other scam projects definitely helps people to put trust on them. Having a proper Whitepaper and roadmap explained to the investors also help them to gain credibility.

I think it’s better to share the long term plans rather short term plan. They also should disclose the pre sale and private sale price . Its best for everyone.

They should have full transparency as to their team members and founding members. An inexperienced team is one of the biggest red flag for me in the crypto market. Also the company should provide more market statistics about the field that they are going to enter.

For me; I think having transparency over their whole organization which includes the team; community and their roadmap would help people to trust them more. If they also come up with unique yet simple ideas that can help real life problems like poverty; corruption and economic problems then they are going to gain more credibility among users.

If ICO projects share more information besides their fund breakdown and information about their team advisor’s background would help me to invest more.

I actually thinks that many users will agree with you about this problem; it is a very good point; I think if the ICO team try to make their project information more available for the investors then it will be easier for the users to deal with it cause they have to face lots of trouble to gather this informations

I have to agree that you have raise a very good point here I feel that it is a problem of many people; If you ask me will say that in market lots of meanless projects arrives which creates a massive confusion among the users so the ICO team should do something about these so that the investors don't have to be worried

I think this project is very transparent and promising. I am interested in investing here and I have no hesitation to share the ICO. I think it's very secure.

Secure transparent transactions will be key in my opinion to their company; and team; as a core competence. Real life issues and complications and also be aided and improved using these very innovative ideas; as well as gain popularity and loyalty among its users.

From my perspective we need to understand the projects and we should look at the projects that features also that is good or bad also we should aware of scams.

MVP was first launched and perhaps escrow services are better reused. because we see there is a lot of money from investors are taken away by unclear developers with the ico scam.

long time ago escrow services are very necessary to minimize fraud.

Yes; the ICO projects should be more specific to their actions so that they are trustable to the investors. I think before starting any project; they must have a clear idea about their strategy. Moreover; there should be transparency of the team as many projects does not share anything about their team.

What they can do for us to trust them again?well for me stop making ico projects again and just focus on the existing coins and tokens because theres alot of updates and renovation for these tokens/coins have progress and has a good value again

The most important aspect is to see if the description of the project along with the team are clear and transparent or not. Because this is where the fact that it is a scam or not get associated with it.

There are some things that they can do to make them more reliable and transparent. The ICO needs to expose details about their team members including their LinkedIn id. They can present some core information that will make the investors confident about them.

ICOs; as we know; is full of goods; beds; scams; and frauds as well as very well organized; committed team; focusing on the clients and investors. So; here; to invest our savings; we always try to make sure we invest in the right best projects that will make us gain; not make us repent what we have done. I think everyone wishes ICOs will be more specific in their project motto and be firm with that; having a complete deception-free and clean whitepaper and an excellent honest team; But that is literally not possible cause crypto-space is free space for everyone; and that everyone includes dishonest and frauds also. So we must always be cautious this is the best solution as expectation; scarcely comes in reality.

I want them to have concrete plans and roadmaps. Also, their timeline of events must be reasonable. For instance, I wouldn't trust a project whose team came together two months ago to conceptualize the idea and then start their  ICO. They should have spent a good number of months analysing their project and checking its viability. We're after the long term success of the project, not its ability to reach the hardcap.

And I think that ICO will soon be on its feet. And it will work well. And the main thing is to help us to invest correctly. Because recently it was not observed. Good, high-quality work of many companies. And I believe that soon we will all invest in ICO.

My wish is high security of the project because many projects are enter into Crypto world but few projects only concentrate in security so few projects only successfully runs in the market.
 Nowadays most of the peoples are avoid ICOs investment because it is a risky investment so they will increase the liquidity and security surely peoples are participating the ICO platform.

There are many ICO which are appeared as scam and maximum ICO wants to be anonymous to investors and they are not feel free share details about them. I hope ICO will able to solve these.

Thank you everyone for your extremely valuable input! I am happy to announce that our ICO publishing date just around the corner!

For me all i want to see is monies raised been made public to everybody and high level of transparency. This is the only way to prove to me that the  project is genuine and got nothing to hide.

Right now transparency is mostly preached but the point is, how do the investors even ascertain the transparent talks of these ICO teams? Example, they ask investors for KYC, would they be willing to provide true and credible KYC for the investors as well?

Hi Chomsy! Good point. We are going to publish an ICO project and we are certainly going to reveal our faces and we have shot a video promo. We are also going to be open for discussion on Face Time or the equivalent during the ICO. Check out my signature for more info.

For me to invest in any ico now that ico must have reputable personality behind it, it must be insured.  If I am not sure of getting my investments back I will not invest in. The developers should be able to pay the bounty hunters in either bitcoin or ethereum.

Good points! However we are going to pay our bounty hunters in our utility token only, thus promoting the use of our tokens and getting more people to learn about our project, because, from what I have learned, a great number of bounty hunters hold their tokens and await for the next bull run, which makes the market far better for selling your coins at higher prices.

Do not go with ICO if you want assurance in your investment instead proceed with STO. This is the new crowdfunding activity that you should take a look if you want to invesr since the STO projects are registered in by a government which if it will be violated then the government can implement punishment.

Hi erikoy! Thank you for your interest. We will go with the ICO route as STO's have shown to not be working very well so far. Our ICO is going to be one of the best ones in year 2019. Check out my signature for more info.

ICO must be able to achieve success and be won by experienced developers. At present many ICO projects that do not have solid developers and ICO failures are also increasing. Looking for projects that can be relied upon and developers must be able to work hard.

Without a doubt, it is very important that the project has a professional team that will be able to develop the project and lead it to success. Well, of course the project must be honest and pay on time coins, bounty hunters.

There are many factors, projects should consider if want to lead to success.
Very most important thing is what is the core of blockchchain technology is "transparency". With the transparency fulfillment, project should inform or I should say rather involve community members in the important or all updates. Community members suggestion most of the time helps team to do the right thing.
Second point is sticking to the roadmap. Many projects fail to do this do to whatsoever conditions but loose interest from community members.
To keep community members engaged, team should make small bounties or quizzes, which will keep the group happening.
And last but not least, a good (and transparent) bounty program will definitely will lead the project to a new highs.

Hi forexandcryptoauditor! This is exactly what we are going to focus on, maximum transparency with our project and our community members. I will also put heavy emphasis on frequent updates for our project in a number of social media platforms. Thank you for suggesting to make bounties and quizzes to keep the community more engaged. We are going to launch our ICO project soon, you can check out my signature for more info.

It is very important that the project already has a product that is of interest to investors and is of real importance and perspective for today's market. And that the developers are honest and open in their intentions not only on paper and on the site, but also at all sorts of online meetings and conferences.

I think that most of the projects that conduct ICO do nothing and that is why the price after the tokens are sold is very much reduced. But if there are real developments in the project, then the price will certainly grow. And this does not need a crypto pump. Just the price displays the status of the project.

It seems to me that it would be nice if all the scammers on the market would disappear. And also a little more price.

For me, I want to invest in an ICO/s which having a great management team that can run out their whole project at the present and for the future of the project at the same time so that we supporters can have the consistency and trust to the project we are taking part with. I also looking forward for an ICO which is unique from other ICOs and existing platforms.

OP HERE


Hi MMA Rats! That is exactly what our project is solving. First, we have published a marketplace which offers an escrow and natural price competition among service providers, which will drive it down to attract more clients. You can check it out here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5123256



Hi stefany101. I recommend you take a look at our project here https://www.cryptomarketads.com/ I

The most important factor is the reliability of ICOs. Because we all know the current situation.
I also guess paying bounty reward with ETH or BTC or locking for a while amount can protect the project significantly.
