Now I am focusing to invest in ICOs. As a regular bounty hunter, I can realize which ICO is good and which is bad. Because I follow the most trustful ICO rating website Icobench, I have enough time to read project's whitepaper and look after at their community activity. But recently I realized Icobench's rating is not everything! I want to mention some ICOs name that had an impressive positive rating! But they couldn't raise even 1 Million USD! A project like FTEC, Enkidu can be a good example. What is the reason here?

When you invest in ICOs, what thing you take seriously?

Not all ICOs that can be considered as a great one can raise millions of dollars. Not all bad projects can't raise that amount.

I won't invest to it until now but if ever there's something interesting with ICOs, I may try to get involve with a bit of my spare money. I'm still looking for an ICO that will catch my satisfaction and until now I think I haven't caught one. And not all of those ICO rating sites are accurate and transparent.

I could say it's almost 99% of ico rating site can't be trusted, if you have seen people are still saying about icobench, icorating and any other ico site can be trusted and it's a lie. The hyped icos come from the institutional just like RSK bitcoin. They main key is about to find such a hyped ico that created a lot of noise and a lot of people are wanna buying it.

Well for me the most important on the first place is the platform , usecase for future public , stage of the develepments and after that I look for the team and the sales condition and supply . You should always research projects deep

There is a lot to check in ICO's, one is to check the team, are they known? do they have experience in this industry?
Also, one thing more is to check if they partner up with a blockchain marketing firm.

I rarely visit them now after knowing that you can pay for a good review with an ICO there.

That's already decided that this is an industry where they can make money through reviewing it through a marketing way. You don't rely to any of them anymore and have your own understanding and accept the fact that most of ICOs are just hyping themselves just to be able to reach their caps.

I read white paper, analyze the project and team members. In addition, I look at which publications appeared publications about this project. Still looking at the ratings of famous sites.

You can do all of those things but there is no guarantee really here that a good project can also get a good response from the market. One thing for sure is that bad projects can even perform good because the response is quite good. There are many factors why a project can be explosively successful yet even if those factors are also present in another project there is no guarantee that the same thing can happen into it. Maybe I guess the factor of luck is also playing here.

Right now, there is that downtrend interest happening in the ICO platform. People are now realizing that ICO projects are now anymore the best way to make some profits as many have lost money here big time. This is the truth that we have to face especially this year. However, there are always exemption to the rule as they say because from time to time there can be projects that really showed up and become very successful...finding projects along this line can be quite a big challenge.

not all ico with good rating will guarantee a huge profit because now a lot of ico have a good rating but a scam or fail to achieve softcap to determine ico we just need to see the products and teams that are on ico

the first thing I saw and checked was the team or developer. all their backgrounds, experiences and portfolios must be verified valid. second, I prefer ico who have launched or released their platform before ico starts.

rating site, do you believe that? may be okay, but a high rating should not be the first choice for your investment, do a re-analysis to get maximum results, because a high rating is not a guarantee that ico is promising.

You are spot on! Just recently , a project called Levelnet was not able to launch a successful campaign despite its great idea. I believe that these days it is better to invest in ICOs that have a working product instead of an idea. Also I believe that ICOs that have an existing business structure will drive in the cryptospace

So for me, i like a project that has a working product and a experienced team

The first thing is their Telegram channel, it is must attractive, exciting, admins team always respond to members when being asked about their project.
The second is the wallet address they are using to receive the investment of investors.
The third is their roadmap and their partners.

Of course first thing to look when I'm going to scrutinized a ICO’s is their working products how feasible it is and the partnership of some companies who patronize the product and of course the roadmap of the white paper is fully defined and updated accordingly.

what I saw before participating in an ico was the concept from ico, if the concept of ico was felt to be good for the long term like banking, finance, and sometimes the concept of gaming was good, but not just the concepts that I saw, and sometimes I also read the whitepaper from ico, but only occasionally because I am also lazy to have to read writing that consists of several pages, and most importantly don't just depend on the rating of an ico, because rating does not guarantee the success or failure of an ico. actually I participated in an ico not to invest in the ico, but I participated in the bounty campaign, but participating in the bounty campaign also needs to do research on the ico because I also don't want to participate in ico which will only become an ico scam.

I've observe that to successful ICO's as well. A partnership with a good marketing agency is an instant marketing as well.

That's true, I think it is a key for ICO's to reach success. Marketing strategies are very important coz even if the project had a great value and potential if no marketing strategy in place, then it'll be waste. I've seen such ICO's who failed in reaching their softcap and cancelled their ICO.

A marketing agency I can recommend to you is crowdcreate.us. The company works on three simple marketing formula; community management, crypto influencers, and public relation. With Crowdcreate, you can easily get your ICO featured in top-tier PR publication.
They are experts in handling community, I've been to some of their handled community.

Icobench rating is not a guage towards the success of the project. The essence of the project itself will determine if it will be successful or not but of course the guidance of the team working behind it.

Because a project didn't raise enough money does not mean it's fake or scam, it could be bad marketing or lack of expertise within their team. The team behind every project is very important, they determine the outcome and all possibilities within the project. Mfchain is one project I have seen with an excellent team, making it worthy of investment. Checking up profiles and track record of a projects team members will help in making good investment decision.

You need to make a great research before investing. I usually spend 5-6 hours to investigate one project. Firstly, I am reading the whitepaper, than I look at the fundraising level. The last but not least, I am usually checking the community numbers in Facebook, Telegram, Twitter and Reddit.

I also spend a lot of time studying the project in which I am going to invest. This is a slow process if you really want to invest in a good project. I pay attention to the team, how much information is there about them and how fair is it. Also, an important fact is the communication of managers and representatives of the project with the community on the Telegram channel, for example. Website design, well-written by WhitePaper and much more.

There are so much aspects to check in an ICO. First of all, I am reading the whitepaper, if this document looks like garbage I am switching to another project. Then I look at the community stats in TG and FB. If it is okay, I usually invest in such projects.

initially i was checking the team, project and rating etc but now i am least interested to invest in ico. i prefer to boy from the exchanges instead of ico buying. because mostly i get the ico price at the time ico get listed on the exchanges.

Studying is one thing that you must always imbibe as a culture when it comes to ICO investment, if you do not want to end up getting the wrong side of being a part of a scam. ICOs can be very risky and you really want to know how to manage those risks and be able to make quality decisions.

The best way to practically do this most of the time is to check if there is a minimum viable product, if the team looks like a solid one that is capable of bringing about further development, and the market that this product serves and how the possibility of demand can skyrocket in the long run for it. These are the qualities you want to be looking for.

The most important thing when it comes to investing in an ICO is to actually check out the team, and then check out the product feasibility. There is one thing I always try as much as possible to use which is SWOT analysis and that is the Strength of the project, which is this case would be the team, product and business solutions, and then the Weakness, which would be the unavailability of some of the things mentioned initially and then the Opportunity when it comes to long term growth and then the Threat which in this case would be the competitions and how they stand out. With these just few things, you will be making best decisions in your investment.

I often react to the reaction of the community. Then I read the analysis articles on other people's projects. Sometimes the whitepaper is a bit confusing to understand.

EVERYTHING must be checked because the scam is so spread now and ICOs are on the first place undet its attacking. So to avoid losses you must check everything about it.

There are many factors I consider before investing in an ICO, I check the project's whitepaper, the team and their partnerships, those factors help me decide if it would be worth investing or not, just like the one I am wearing now.

Its whitepaper will be so nice to analyze because it has a very significant information to be checked from all sides. It will bring the understanding of profitability.

I agree with you that white paper are but confusing, you can check their site in social media and you can also check their previous successful projects. This will make you comfortable if you check these stuffs.

When we are first time to invest in ICO's some we gonna do is to look at the ICO rating.
But not all a high ICO rating have some good ICO's because of their high rate, Some of them are not totally have not reach of their hardcap.

Who is working for the project, that is the development team is a key factor here. If they are well known developers with high profile, chances of the project being successful is high. On other hand, some new developers working from their basement will not get much popularity and chances of them just being a scam project is also high. But this does not mean that all unknown developers are scammers or something. Also, how they promote the project also plays a vital role. They need to create a hype so people can recognize them.
The best thing to do is read the whitepaper, look who are working for it and check for the potential. All depends on your own analysis and intuition.

Read whitepaper > Check the orgininalty > Search about the team project member > decide.
Or you can simply go to ICO review sites that a lot in the internet and make a conclusion from there

The things I consider when looking for an ico to invest in are their team and partners. I don't actually believe in some ico rating sites because others say thay ratings can be bought. Another thing I also consider is the approach of the communty regarding the projects.

For me, i will check what is the project and how it's work, after that the team project. We need know who is working and who is suporting project, how they develop the project and ecosystems, because the most importan its always from the the team. Make sure they real.

Earlier, when I invested in an ICO project, I looked primarily at the product of the project, the team, the whitepaper, and then only the ratings. But unfortunately I still got into scam projects.

What made me the most tested before joining the ICO was the technology, goals, team and roadmap of the project ... Also, the methodology of implementing the roadmap, ICO rankings, About the ICO I am also interested in.

Of course before anything else must check the team behind if it's  fake or not , because mostly nowadays are frauds especially on bounty section.  And also review the history of the project 'cause that's the most important to assure if it has a potential to become successful in the future and there's a tends you can gain good return on it after .'cause some projects nowadays are very promising but unfortunately always didn't fulfill their promises and suddenly turn into scam. 

Recently, I do not invest much in ICO, because it has become really difficult to find something good. But first of all, the idea is important to me. I need her to hook me up. It is also important that this project can benefit in the future, to its coin can be used.

Everything that they had develop but I usually I follow github for their repositories with that development I continuous to seek more on social media like twitter,Reddit, Medium and youtube channels. Which is more infomative about the project itself.

When I want to join an ICO's project, what I have to do is just like you, "researching the project". What aspect that I see from the project? I see many aspects, such as: its potency, it's team, it's concept, etc. We must choose the best project before investing in an ICO.

In my opinion, it is the popularity of the project which is a huge factor to determine whether the project would be a huge one for a long run or not. Assumptions would be immediately made from looking on such thing. Demand is generated by popularity which is really an important aspect for the project's success.

Some things I will check;
The level of completion of the Website
Developer team
The development idea of the project

I'm also the participant of the ICO, especially I'm also getting in some bounties. In choosing the right ICO is similar when I will participate in the bounty. Of course, it needs carefulness on selecting the ICO that has interesting product and project especially for the future. The price right now is not really mind for me. I focus on analyzing their team and concept that will bring the coins to be profitable in the future.

For me one of my criteria is i look into the team and country which the platform or ico was originated. Because for me its very important since i already know what countries
mostly came from this very notorious fly by night and shady ico's. I prepare to invest in korean base ico because i trust them and their laws! are implemented well.

in my opinion we must be good at analyzing the team behind the project because a good team certainly produces a good vision and mission, of course, the advantages in investing

Yes i do the similar checks before joining the ICO and i also check if the team members which are mentioned in the ICO website are real or fake because nowadays there are so many profiles where they steal the pic or entire profile of a different person.

ICO ratings is bunch of crap you should never trust any of the ICO ratings sites out there because they're usually paid for the ratings. The first thing to look for good ICO is the white paper, how good was their idea, followed by the ICO team - how good and responsive they are.
Finally, look carefully at the ICO site is it worth putting your money 💰 At times, most of the scam ICOs don't put a lot of money in building their sites.  

Many things. I will search, learn, and also analyze some points in order to minimize the risks of scams. First is analyzing the project whether has the similar concept with others or not. Then, analyze the team members and check on the social media or news whether they are getting in the project or not. Analyze the wallet transaction.

ICO rating websites are providing very useful information but their recommendations are not for granted. I always do my own research prior investing into a project. The project idea and the market potential are two key elements for decision making.

It is good to know that ratings on most ICO ratings sites are not true, most of them are paid reviews, so you cannot the reviews also right now the ICO investing have changed a lot, currently most people no longer invest in idea, they invest based on hype and it's because a lot of people in the crypto space cares more about the profit and not the tech, so no matter how good a project might be, if it doesn't have much hype, many people won't invest.

You are right. We need to see the product first. But most of the ICO projects come without any product, they just start from the zero! I participated in counting house ICO, they had a product before launching the tokensale. Now Counting house price continuously increasing in this bear market! But How can you select an ICO by seeing their team, now every scammer has a good face too!

I check everything carefully before investing in any ICO project. I mean there are many things you have to study before spending your money, because this field is always too risky. I check the whitepaper firstly, then the team (I make sure they are real and experienced enough), the website (its design and security), the product and the concept.

Look for Iconiq Lab. Iconiq Lab is the world's first batch-driven accelerator program for prospective ICO projects, big time hot decentralized venture capital group that will make this space imaginable . Look more on their web site

Most of the time i Joined in an open forum which is telegram- I usually ask in them in a nice way- That's how great conversation works- Following them on Github for more projects and development on the go
Twitter and facebook are my favorite to follow on their announcement.

The credibility of the project for me is the biggest thing and is a must to check before investing in ICOs because potential would be nothing if a project would be a scam. Many ICO projects are turning out to be scam projects which should alarm us to be cafeful with our actions particularly when choosing an ICO project to invest. ICO RATING sites would also help investors to make the right decision.

the site rating is not a determinant of actual results in ICO. in fact, it only contains only a collection of empty speculations alone without any clarity. do your own analysis is more satisfying and is certainly more boast because it could have another study is more than just the results. see the concept if this is beneficial will certainly determine the result of the ICO. always check wallet to monitor the original investors of the investors is important to always see.

There are many factors in selecting a right ICO:

Team
Timeline
Media and Community
Code Samples
Regulation
Distribution
Purpose
White Paper
Global Potential
Circulating Supply

If an ICO has all the above mentioned Points then you can invest in the ICO.

I came across ICO which not only looks promising but will also give you good returns. The ICO's Name is INCODIUM.

Incodium has developed a solution to protect users and investors against the rising threat of cryptocurrency hacks. Incodium is achieving this through an API-based Smart Contract Solution.

The cryptocurrency market’s valuation has crossed the $300 billion mark. As the value of the market grows, there is an urgent need to beef up security measures. Given the rapidly increasing in cryptocurrency exchange hacks, there needs to be a solution for this problem.

Until now, when an exchange gets hacked, the process of identification of theft and compensation to the user take days or even weeks to be processed at times.

Incodium aims to revolutionize the way compensation is provided through a simple, transparent and actionable platform. Their “Smart Compensation Protection” service determines the extent of the loss occurred and the amount of compensation that needs to be provided.

To know more you can visit: https://incodium.io/

First thing is www.icoguide.com, as I trust their rates, then it comes to social media channels, YouTube especially, then it comes to team and idea itself.

Before determining the ICO project I check is the project manager, project team, social media accounts and sales achievement of the token. If the project is able to reach a minimum sales target tokens, certainly the very worthy project to follow. And you have to look at social media accounts like facebook and twitter, telegram. If in the very active social media accounts, of course, it's very nice.

some of the things that have become a special attention to determining the ICO as an investment. a good team will certainly produce a good project and also see the team is also one of the aspects is its true identity they genuine or not in order to avoid a scam. social media part of the telegram, facebook, and twitter are always active is also a good thing to use as a marker of this means they always do their job over the activities for the advancement of the ICO that they used to do.

By the way, what is your role in this incodium project as I've seen your post history that you are promoting this in several threads?
Even those items that you enumerated are present in a project, there's no guarantee that it will be the right project or have a good outcome.

Team of the project is the most important thing to analysis. You should investigate social media activities of all members and recognize if they all are professionals or just people who want to just earn an easy money.

The product is the thing that I check the most, I cannot be investing in a coin that does not have a good product backing it, once the product behind  a coin is bad then all of that project is going to go down the drain there is no two ways about it. The team behind the project are just as important as the product in this aspect, which is why I also take them seriously

I try to study all aspects as closely as possible, I pay a lot of attention to studying a technical document. I do not really trust the ratings on such sites, because I believe that they can be bought

If you're an experienced bounty hunter, I don't understand why you want to invest in ico in such times. we should have stopped to invest at the end of the last year. Now we have to wait and, if possible, buy some coins which have entered exchanges. Now investment in ICOs is a waste of time and money!

As for me, if I want to invest in any ICO, the first thing I look out for is the idea behind the project. The reason why I do look out for idea is to know if that idea is ready to solve world problem. The second thing I look out for is the team behind a project. Team is very essential in the realization of the goal of any blockchain project.

we should not be too confident in the ICO rating site, because there are several sites that receive payment to increase certain ICO retings.
My way to choose ICO is to see the possibility of the project running and realistic. Then I saw the TEAM from the ICO project, because I had seen a project with a TEAM that had done a scam project.

Such criteria are enough, basically they are similar to the choice of"bounty". Team, platform, Ratings, Reviews, goal and idea are also evaluated. But all this also does not guarantee success. There are factors that cannot be taken into account

Basically, myself try to choose the projects I invest in. In this case, you have to rely only on yourself. Sometimes I look at sites that make up the ratings of various ICOS, but I don't rely on them completely. If some project interests me, I will still try to study it myself and decide whether to invest in it.

I analyze the team, when I see that people are really experienced, the team is the key to success, then I study the idea of the project, only then I invest, today there are many good projects, one of which is #swachhcoin. The project will pay people for their trash. At the moment, the bonus is 7.5%, you can buy coins by the end of October. I advise you to see the project.

Most of the ICO listing sites have really disappointed, be because they rate based on the amount paid. You have to do your own research before participating in any bounty or before investing. Work on the team and read the whitepaper intensively. Understand it and ask questions that might be bothering you.

I thought for a long time everyone knew that the ratings are fake. Now there are no companies in which I could invest but even if they are in the first place I will look at a working product.

That the first thing that i would do, Check first the whitepaper and the site and also in the telegram on which they are active or not.
And the roadmap of the ICO if this gonna have some good news.

Even though all of the things mentioned above get a 100% rating, there is no guarantee if that project can provide a big profit to all investors because I have reasearch about this before
Other facts: even though some ICO can reach the hardcap but after listing on the exchange the price could drop up to -500%

First, the team of a project is of utmost importance. Do ensure they are real.
Afterwards, go through the roadmap to see the different activities outlined by the team and the duration set aside to achieve them.
Study the whitepaper to get more understanding of other things.
Ensure it is very active with the community, most especially to the investors and other potential investors.

Many ICOs have good rating from many website but they can not achieve their soft cap. I think its not just a rating, its about market condition. We know current market condition are not good and many investor prefer wait and see.

For me as one of the victims in scam ICO. I always make sure to invest on widely known investment where many well known investors gather. In that way could minimize risk.

You are absolutely right. People are investing by seeing the hype, actually, it is normal to want to make money! Because the bear market took 60-70% of the money from every holder, investors portfolio. So, everyone now focusing to earn profits, not to support a good idea! Though I don't know how ico rating sites works, Are they take money from the owner of the projects?

I think you see how they built communication with members, included bounty hunter. If they give good respond and solution about members problem we can give them the beginning trust. Second thing is see their road map, meaning as long they can follow it on time it means they have good management. Last thing is they should have exchanges, with out this one ICO project can't grow up. That thing I see before join a project and mostly I join after ICO ended.

First read the white paper, this is a very important stage, and secondly I will check the project leader, including their team and partners!

Actually the most important thing is transparency about the results of their ico. because right now more and more projects are claiming to have gotten big investors. and it's not clear where it comes from

Hang on for a second: you need to undestand that you shoudl be coldminded. I mean that most of ICOs are able to trick eager people, so control your emotion.

I must check that the project is not a scam and has a potential developer. The main thing you should know is their audience, whether it been faked or a real one but plenty of them

I am very picky with every ICO that I am contributing to. First of all, read the whitepaper, because it is the most important document of any project. Secondly, check the team and devs, if they are real. The last but not least, check the telegram community.

Before I invest in ICO, I will pay attention to the information of many projects. For example, where is the team coming from? Does the project have a legitimate studio or company, and whether their partners have the strength!

For me before I invest in any ICO I always like checking there roadmaps,and also there teams how many years they have in crypto and also what the are planning to bring if there are a lot of projects that are into it.

You're too ingenuity to  trust rating sites, most of them are paid rates, and IcoBench is not the best rating site. Before investing in an ICO, i keep tracking its activities for a long time, read whitepaper, research about their team, if all is  good, i will invest.

Team, company and location of the project, but some other people that developing projects or opening some ICO's are only 1 man person just like the CEO itself. The best thing here is they have some roadshow and AMA to the other projects too.

I start by looking at the accounts of the project team, I also start to watch the site and conduct research on the site how long it was registered and by whom it is registered, if the registration address is the same as the address specified on the site, then it is very likely that the project will be of high quality.

Most of fake ICOs offer huge bonuses just because they do not care about future price of token. In such situations, you should pay attention to business plan.

I am look to the 2 things:
How many ico collected already and try to find proofs of earned moneys (wallet balances)
Who in team and what the projects they complete succesful before

According to me, the most important thing that I will check before investing into any ICOs is their team members and their Platform. Cause if any projects want to get success in icos then they need to have expert team members and most important is their platform. Cause I can see their future plan and concept of their projects.

There is a lot of aspect that we must check before joining tokensale on an ICO. Check out their team members and advisor, take a look at their background and experience, how is the quality of the project, read their whitepaper, and many other things to be checked.

I think you are little bit late with your wish to invest in ICO, nowadays even the best projects don't give profit, it was 2-3 projects in autumn which were listed on exchanges above ICO price and very often, for common people, it is very hard to invest in those projects, you must win in lottery or something similar.

I have never trusted ico rating sites. If I'm going to invest in an ico, the most important condition has always been the ico's team. I look at what people in the team are experts on and their careers in the past.

When the person was a driver and next day it becomes an advisor, it is a sign for me that I need to find out more about other team members or even pass it buy.

Team complectation. The more the project the more developers they need. If there are only marketing specialists, you will not get any profit.

- The ico ratings sites are just forged, the projects pay them to advertise for the project, cheat the investors, I also never believe in the information they provide, the thing that I always check is probably the team as you say, if the development team has enough credibility and fame, the reliability of the project is very high and vice versa. Some other things that I also often check are the community and the manager of their bounty campaign, good community and development combined with a reputable bounty manager, it helps to advertise the project, the chances of success are very high, no reason not to invest

First the team, second the Platform and its working product or services offered. These is very important to me because this is the primary driver of the platform's token utilization and create demand in order to the start up to thrive it needs to be used and utilized at all means.

By checking white paper and team members profiles, you can make sure that the project is not a SCAM, at least at some degree. But it is not enough to give you any guaranty on getting profit.
Unfortunately, but it is more important whether the team is able to organize good marketing and arranges a listing on good exchanges, pay for bots on exchanges to disperse prices, etc.
You can predict such things by analyzing funds that also invest in this project or partnership with companies - market-makers

When I invested in the ICO project in a bear market, most of them lost money. I also invested in the FTEC project.

Investing to an ICO is no longer looks profitable for me. If they will be unable to reach their softcap, they will no longer continue the project or worst is that you will be scammed. Another bad news is that if they decided to refund the investor during bear market, the value of your cryptocurrency will go down where you were unable to avoid. Those reviews from ICO websites should never be trusted anyway and we must always do our own research instead of relying to those paid ratings.

In my opinion, icorating and any other ico site can be trusted but it is not enough for research of our investment. Generally, before investing in any ico projects, I check whitepaper, projects team, community activities, supply and demand. I think the high rating is not a guarantee that ico is promising.

the site rating does not provide an objective appraisal, so it goes a good way of selecting the ICO. most of the sites of the sort only a judgment that is contrived. analysis of its own view of the background and goals of the team concept will be able to determine the feasibility of the ICO.

As of now, there are so much fraud ICO's. I think in participating into ICO's you should first check their project plans, whitepaper, and website. If you want to assure a successful ICO, check if their project reached ita soft cap so that it would be great to invest on their ICO.

Thing i look into most is team, solid team is required, no fake member, must have above 10 full time team members. Second thing is whitepaper, then their research report, activities, and support community.

For this year I chose to invest in something else, than I know ICO rating sites are paid to promote ICO, so ICO rating sites play less role in seeing ICO's success, from my experience, I am more inclined to see partners who are cooperated by the ICO, you know someone who is truly an expert and can attract investors to invest, then regarding the concepts and tokens in the WP is number 2 for me.

Yes I very much agree with the existence of a great team that can make the performance of the development project will run good. other than that I think look at the concept and realization of the project are probably realized or only as an idea.

maybe what I will see when I want to invest in IO usually I will look like a team, a whitepaper and I see the linkedin they have, because I want to make sure that person is responsible and does not run away from carrying ICO funds.

I also invest on ICO before that's was last year, I was only try once and received a good result of it, for me ICO must have a working and visible project to be sure its legal and really exist, no fake location and dummy team and the bounty project also has an escrow service.

There are a lot of factors that you need to check before starting invest in any project. Whitepaper is a must, because there is no more document that is more important. MVP is also a must for any serious project. I would also check the social media communities.

For me, I usually double checked the developer team and their capabilities to handle a crypto project. I will also explore deep by visiting their official websites to know more about the goals and concepts of the platform. And last thing what I will do is by checking if how much funds that they have raised during the token sales.

Does anyone else believe in ICO rating website? I read one article from the former moderator of the similar website. Maybe i will surprise you, but money do all. No matter what is the project. You can buy any review. So, I advise you don't trust any ratings.

At that time, when the bearish market happens, I don't care about ICO because the investment is always lost. As the stat from the expert showed that in November, almost ICO projects exchange from their Token to ETH and sell ETH that makes the price has sharply increased. It proves that the ICO project is not potential and not suitable to invest.

many are to be seen in the ICO investment. the whole team into a background thing that should be noted. This will be a factor whether ICO worthy and not to follow and whether it can run well and not. the purpose of the product and the ICO should be clear and have a good concept so that investors can be quite interested in its potential.

When I want to invest in an ICO, I will usually see the concept of the project they are developing and certainly I will see the influence of the project on the people, if it is very useful then I will invest in their ICO.

always reserch ico from web sites

So far. I build cash on investment activities in comes that are at ICO. And yet I still use and trust variety of existing ICO comes to speculate. and i am positive within the future i will be able to get a decent profit within the future which through ICO. but it does not guarantee that we've a bent to chose a winning project. the subsequent tips are very useful for people that are new the crypto market. i feel the foremost necessary consider choosing a project is its degree of promotion. a good project will forever have a good promotion

I think the team and technology behind are paramount. At www.elrond.com when we speak with investors we want them to fully understand the technology - when you trust that, together with the team that delivers - I think you have enough reasons to consider. Also always check if they have some opensource.  But a personal discussion is the best and regardless of market sentiment good technology will always succeed. Good luck :)

See if the project really has a need, potential clients.

If the team is trustworthy. Do background checks if you can, google them.

Read everything about the project and see if there are some signs that might have some scam indications.

The thing that I really check before investing to ICO's is their project, the white paper, the team and their bounty manager to ensure my investments will not gonna lose in scam people. And I think it is the best thing to look to their launched currency to prevent from losing a big amount of money.

Before I put down my hard earned bitcoin  I look at an ICO to determine if such ICO project is messed?  If I can see the use case of such ICO,  I then look to see if there is existing project with the same idea.  If there is some,  I can now invest looking at how much they are trying to raise and bonuses they are giving to early investors!

If you invest money do not take this seriously, then so increases the risk of losing your investment or get a token that you will keep, but it will never grow!

For me, what I look out for before investing in an ico is firstly, the team and advisors, this is a very crucial point. Secondly, the roadmap and the role of the token in the project, also the terms of the ICO and social media accounts and others.

Right from the beginning of the investment in icos i keep checking icorating.com icorating is reliable ico research website they provide best icos with their data analytics tools they use

in my opinion, what needs to be considered before making an investment in the ico project is.
1. tokens produced by the company have potential in the future. it means having a high price going forward.
2. The resulting token has a good product.
3. The project team and the sponsor.
I think those 3 points need to be seen in investing in an ICO project.

In a project i want to invest what i actually check on is the concept,advisers and team involved,it make s it easier to know if that project will succeed. I t is important to research on a project before investing.

In addition, I do check whether there is a prototype of the product the ico has. So, yea, I always look for a good, solid product behind the ICO. One that is useful and practical for our life.. Moreover, I pay attention to the project's "added value" in the crypto market.. a case of good project is Gigzi with a wallet prototype and revolutionary concept.

Then I go and check the devs and their skills, plus the roadmap..

One thing that I make sure that I check when I am investing in any project is to check to make sure that the people who are behind it are actually real and not just pictures of other people. This helps to determine the credibility of the people that are working alongside the project. Then the whitepaper is something I look at to make sure
