How to identify if the ICO will succeed??
What is the first THING to do when you are investing on an ICO? Or how can you identify if the ICO will be successful before investing?? As a beginner I don’t know where should I start first before investing, what is the do's and dont's before investing on an ICO??

 Don't "do's".  Just don't.  Start and finish here - https://blockgeeks.com/guides/why-most-icos-will-fail/

Maybe this method does not apply to masters. but for beginners who have just entered the world of crypto, it is very useful so they don't invest wrong. Okay, this method is to use the famous website, "coinschedule.com". Now if you are new to the crypto world, please use this website to find a good ICO project to invest. hopefully it can help Crypto beginners.

I do not invest in ICO when he just appeared, I'm waiting for how much he collects money successfully, I see how many people are interested in it. I also look at his position on the ICO rating sites. For me this reduces the risk.

I personally think when you want to invest in an ICO you have to do your own research about the project. First you have to check if the project has a working prototype to see how serious the team is. Also check the purpose of creation whether the solution it offers is really needed. Then you go ahead to consider the team. Etc

It is not easy now days. Look at the idea and think if it is viable and doable. Is the token worth anything, such as if it is even used in the ecosystem or it only exists for the token sale. Look at the tea and roadmap. Even if everything checks out you cant be sure, because 95 percent of startups fail.

There is no way to say what will happen to an ICO you are going to invest your money before they come in market.
Only a few points can be identified during ico like if the team/developers are honest by finding their real information.

There are many different nuances in order to know if the ICO will be rushing, for me, this is the idea of the project as well as the composition of the team, and the white paper that will tell you a lot of information

It is too hard to predict in ICO platform because lack of concentration in all the bounty section so peoples are not find the successful but they know how to to choose the Successful ICO.
Nowadays all are looking to high profitable platform but few peoples only concentrate in potential platform so successful ICOs always hide in market.

I think it is very neccessary to know about the experiences and ability of the team members in the project.
They will decide the success of project in new ICO.

In my views you need to further do some research looking for one of the best ICO in terms of rating. Look for the bounty manager that handles the campaign and the team members of tbe ICO project platform.  With this,  I believe that you are almost near to get the right ICO that could be successful in their project and met the token target sale.

Really it is very difficult to findout a successful ICO. If you want to findout a successful ICO so you have to read their Whitepaper, watch their total connection, see their review of others etc. If you find those are positive so you can detect that as a successful ICO.

It's difficult to say an ico going for scam or real, you need to proper knowledge about mentioning ico where you can invest without any hasitation. you need to know about ico owners backgrounds and past work follow their roadmap and whitepapers. then make a decision.

It is very difficult to determine whether a project will succeed or not, because it depends on the investor and the sale of the project token. The first thing a beginner has to do to find out whether a project is potential or not is to learn to do its own inspection of a project. With this, you will get a lot of experience that can be used as a reference for determining the next project.

If you are a beginner, It's not recommended to start investing through ICO coins. Just look at promising coins on trusted exchanges. Personally, I think it's really hard to know which one a potential ICO to be successful. Even it has a solid team, real product, or great company. When the ICO coins have listed on exchanges, the prices fall down with a significant rate.  

It is a difficult job. Since the ICO's successful and scam are actually almost no difference. the same goes, even now this crime is also increasingly sophisticated. It's just that, if I would take care, by selecting project softcap for example.

Sadly there's no such a way to determine whether the project will succeed or not buy you can do your own research by learning their progress during the ICO, their community, do they have a lot of capital for promotion purpose or not, the main thing is the purpose of the project itself.

Learning their whitepaper, checking their core team whether they real or scammer, after that make my research in order to predict if this project can bring me some benefit in future.

Personally, I'll check their whitepaper get in touch with the team and check if they held big campaign or not since I believe if they spread their product to the Internet the more chances people will Invest and of course soft or even hard cap could be reached.

If a person wants to be successful, then he must know where he can earn money with pleasure and with minimal energy. P2PS

The first thing to do before investing in an ICO is to carefully read its white paper and really know what the project is all about because the most important thing about an ICO being successful is having a good project, a good project will always have a purpose a new thing to add to the cryptocurrency market, and it will make investing  in it and supporting it worthwhile, and also you should look uo the team of the project that you are trying to invest in because a good and dedicated team will surely make it successful.

Even beginners should not tend to do what you have said above. Relying on websites blindly will get them to failure. That is why people should rely on themselves because if they fail, they will blame themselves, not websites. Moreover, they should make their own researches and studies about their preferred coin, or the coin they want to invest in, and then they have the right to come up with a wise decision. Do not trust any website.

See if the vision of the project is realistic or they are just punching the air. Read the whitepaper. Check the team members and ratings of different raters like iocbench and trackico but do not trust them blindly. Now a days every tenth person in crypto is thinking of an startup, most of them will fail, some of them will take your money and run away. I personally don't invest in ICOs. I think now a days best strategy is wait for them to get listed on exchanges and then buy them at any dip.

Identifying surely through a few pointers is an impossibility, but still through careful research you can work out for yourself if it is worth the investment. The team and a name are both important specially now, with a viable vision, tech and projection.

In modern days, I don`t think it makes sense to invest in ICO at all..
As vast majority, something like 80-85% cases coins` prices are below their ICO price, once they hit exchange.
Therefore, smart trader waits for ICO to end and enters afterwards.

Can you name the 2018 issued coin, which has never gone below their ICO price?

Any ICO would be successful even for a small advertisement and for who are the people behind it. And for some ICO that has a wonderful background can be still end up to be a failure.

ICO succeeds in gaining a hardcap in sales. To be such an ICO that must have many well-known investors, Team Dev has a clean and beautiful profile. And that ICO continues to grow and produce the minimum product as outlined in the whitepaper. That's what I call the successful ICO

At the moment for every ICO to be successful it is important to have good market makers. For example Krypital have partnered with several Exchanges. They are OKEx Prime Investors and Prime Investors are important partners of OKEx and play a crucial role in the listing process.
 

We must do a deep research on the team behind the project aside from the product, I also see successful ICO's because of their marketing, big community and promotion. also the Roadmap should be deliver and follow so we can see that the team are really putting a lot of effort for the successful of their ICO.

As a beginner, you need not be lazy and look for the appropriate topic on the forum.There are a lot of similar topics,as well as a way to learn about the success of the ICO. I will say only one thing-no one will tell you exactly where the deception, and where the working product.

With confidence 100% can not be determined, occasionally you can only rely on your experience!

I think it is difficult to identify the ICO project will be successful in the future, we can all make a Token, but making Token that will be of value in the future is very difficult when entering and competing in the crypto market.

You should follow pre-sale. Investment is important. you need to examine the project in detail. also investigate how hardwork the team is. examine what they are doing to the project they are managing. These are important factors. Contact the team absolutely. review road maps. Try to understand how realistic it is. Give priority to ICOs who use large advertising channels. The rate of finding a successful ICO is higher. These are only recommendation.

To begin with, you get to know the team of the project. Then read the whitepaper. Then look at the ratings and after that you already have to make a conclusion whether this ICO project is suitable for you or not. Personally, I do just that.

There are a few topics you need to find out before investing. Most importantly, what is the nature of the ico that is being implemented has practical benefits for the user. If an ico does not have a useful value for investors then it will die. Some details to consider, for example: CEO, partner, price, marketting. You should also refer to some sites that evaluate ico.

Few main things you should look at when choosing a bounty.  The basic checks are; Analyze each detail said below. You will then come to a conclusion if the ICO you have chosen will succeed or not.

Since how long the ICO exists
Does it have infrastructure
Any achievement made in the market
The project
The whitepaper
Roadmap
The team and their profiles to see how well experienced

isn't this topic old already? so wrote on the forum, you should find the information you need. it all comes down to a simple analysis of the site, team and white paper, hardcap and softcap. But lately a lot of scams so no advice works at 100%

It is truly impossible to make sure that the ICO you choose to join with will become successful even if you made a very careful research still it wouldn't guarantee, however we have this what we called gut feelings that we can rely on. So instead of expecting just be positive and trust your guts feeling that you choose a right ICO.

I think you can understand it by looking at how much it raised, investing at the beginning of the ico is very risk for me.

Checkout their presale and ICO main sale and see whether they reached the hard cap or not. The hard cap reaching is very important because that can give you idea that they have sufficient funds available for them to develop their project in the future. The development is directly proportional to the ICO success because it will attract more people on board and thus more money will be available for developments through the share holders. May be this can be taken as the best clue for you to understand whether it is the best ICO or whether will it be success or not.

The first thing should understand is that you are investing in start ups and that a large percentage of even the good one will eventually fail. Having said that you can increase your chances of success by eliminating the outright scams and the ones that are simply cash grabs for unfundable business ideas. The place I always start my due diligence is by looking at the people behind the project. At the end of the day the project will succeed or fail on the strength (and honesty) of the people behind the project. A low risk way of getting an education in how to analyse what makes ICO's succeed or fail is to do a few bounties. It will give you exposure to the ICO process and let you test your due diligence skills.

lol like most people have a chance

this is the unregulated wild west the odds are stacked against you

stick with btc or be wiped out

Thank you guys for sharing your thoughts it's a more helpful for me and the other newbie out there who can read this. Now that i have an idea what is the first thing I need to do before I invest on any ico.
Thanks a lot..

Yes, I totally agree with you, since time is first and foremost, profit loves time, so do not expect 1-3 days, I think it's wrong.I completely agree with you, bitkoyn will give out on the maximum result, you can give an example: earlier years, when he had nothing in fact, but now? Thank you.I believe that this depends on the market. As the market behaves, so it will be, so take my fact in the future. Interesting statement.  ;D ;D ;D ;) ;) :D ;) :) :)

there is no way to determine whether the ICO will be successful. only after entering the market will it be clear whether the project was successful or not.

Just reminder 90% of ICO got failed or scammed in this year. So, it is not easy to decide which ICO project will hit or scam. Before investing in an ICO, I check their team members' activity and their telegram grouo. Then i loik at their advisors, if the advisors have good past then I pick that ICO on my list. Then again i go for verify by watching ICO ratings  on different websites. Sometimes good projects got low ratings so don't depend on ratings only.

At the end, I read their whiteoaoer and roadmap, if their goal and ecosystem good then i take that ICO to invest.

You need to do a lot of reading to identify an ICO that have a higher probability of success. There's so many article you can find in the internet. Just search it and read, then compare. They might have a common strategy like background checking the team or using statistical data etc. But also take note of the unique idea of each authors.

When you get to a project you wish to invest in, you need to check the whitepaper to know the details of the project. Secondly, you must visit the website to know how solid it is. Thirdly, you must research the team members to be sure that they have the team needed to make the project a success. You should also check on their social media accounts as well too

You could tried to check on the concept of the project, the team behind the project and the progress on their selling.
More or less you could do that to check whether the project has a good future or not.
But that's not 100% guaranty for the success of a project.

The first thing I do is to look up the team members and advisors. Without a solid team, even the best project ideas are doomed to fail. I verify their profiles and check if they're actively working on the projects by their conference pitches, github repos, etc.
Next I try to understand what the project is. I adk myself 'is there any need for this'? My answers determine whether I'll invest or not.

It is not easy to be able to choose and determine the best ICO project that has a bright front, there are only a few references for you to determine the ICO that might make you successful, look for a trusted bounty manager and members of a trusted team and advisor.

it depends on the expectations of yours. what you need exactly? make a profit in the short term or long term?  You need to do your own study on project, partners, team funds already collected, vesting periods, bouns structures etc etc... and then decide which are best for the investment. But still, you may lose your investments due to scam or even failed project. I'm not saying that 100% all will be lost but we can't 100% guarantee that this project will succeed and definitely will make huge profits for our investments. So you need to invest some money which you can afford to lose and distribute your investments for few ICOS with potential will reduce to lose of money and it will help you to make some profit at the long run.

People will give you many answer depend their own experience but mostly they see the concept, development team and allocation coin. We can see ICO progress from their web, look into their target ( hard cap ), if already reached you can join it. Learn by doing is the best method I can say, take 1 - 2 ICO project, write your process and watch the progress. It will give you guide for next step.

I believe the success of any ICO depends on the team as well as the uniqueness of the project in question. Other factors such as fund usage transpearency are also very significant.

It is hard to determine but I prefer to check who backs the project. Even strong backed projects can suffer though.

As an investor we need to view the overall aspect of an ICO but always pick up ICO that has a very good Marketing strategy. Since it is the most important aspect we need to consider in witching an ICO for a long term run.

maybe you can consider choosing ico who has achieved a soft cap and offers a small or not high bonus. regardless of that, you have to take the time to analyze and discuss the results with your friends or community.
