Bitcoin Forum

Forgive me if I’m living under a cave, but I haven’t heard any news about the promising ICO’s in a long time. Maybe you bounty hunters will have a better idea. Apart from the scams posted for the fake ICO’s, I don’t see any interesting projects like Dao, Liks or Waves these days. If you have any such projects to share, please list them down below.

I would not say dead but definitely ico trend has slowed down and possibly a new trend of security token offering is rising and may takeover but we have to wait and see what the next weeks and months will bring us.

I think that this sphere is still alive, but it is also slowly beginning to get rid of itself. Indeed, there is very little positive news about the ICO, which gives grounds to draw such conclusions. I do not know what will happen after the return of the market, but I would like to believe that there are still projects that will grow in the future.

Perhaps you are looking for a project like BTT (bittorrent). As you can see from the name, it is the money of torrent that we all know for years and it is traded with a large volume in Binance. You can also explore the project that I carry on my signature. Until now they have collected $ 67 million and they are just in pre-ico.

ICOs are not dead but instead are raising more money than they did in previous years. The price performance of most is not good though.

Good ICOs are doing just fine and thriving even in this bear market. The recently held bittorrent ICO raised $7 million in just 15 minutes.

Many ICOs are still running now you can see every signature from those who commented on this thread, but ICO success or not is very difficult, most of them have not reached the softcap and until now I have not found an ICO that is truly feasible and will achieve success.

I don't think because at the moment there are many ico launched and we also have to see what the project is worthy of being an investment or not. we must be good at analyzing altcoins and look for their potential in investment.

There are certainly a lot of promising ICO nowadays but you can't tell it by the price because of the bear, and some maybe delay their ICO
as they know right now is not the right timing to proceed.


I'm also a bounty hunter in the past but I stopped for awhile because I have save a lot of tokens that until now the value is still bad.



These 3 coins you've mentioned are all coins but the ICO happened in the past where there are only few in the market and people are still very eager to invest. Until now, waves and lisk are still profitable although it has suffered some price correction, but that's alright.


DAO on the other raise a good amount during ICO and was one of the top crowdsale but it was hack and it's not ETC and it's also good currently.

Their are still good ICO out their, I think they just waiting for the market to go bullish again

it's an ice age in all of crypto right now, there's huge trading volume but not alot of new money flowing in(?), not much room for any new ICOs at this time?

yes indeed, now a good ico project is very rare.
even though they reach half of the hardcap but after entering the market exchange the price of their tokens is almost 10 times below the ICO.

And then I can say that if you are not getting any information regarding the latest promising ico. The latest one called bittorrent which supported by binance and tron platform. Those early buyers have been getting more than 5x from the ico price but this time it's around 4x. There will be an interesting ico called elixxir too.

Many ico was die after their project have finished and success for got hard cap, many investor disappointed with lower trusted of ICO owner neevr listing their coin at greatest and biggest market like bittrex, binance and kucoin.

for now, I prefer to use exchange platform rather than investing to a unknown ICO. it will lessesn the risk and may benefit you in terms of short gains. Happy trading!

Because too many are greedy so they forget that what they did has damaged the image of the ICO itself, those who made promises, they also denied investors. It's better to wait for awareness from everyone.

ICOs are still alive but developers care more about the presently market condition so only few good projects will be released ,to me its better to learn trading for short profits than investing in ICO now ,its risk is getting higher

In fact, there are quite a number of good projects on the trading floor, but they don't need bounty hunters to promote their projects. such as BitTorrent, Grin, Bitcoiin, ...
There are a lot of great projects and it is pretty high priced pump. we just don't get the right direction and we can't find a good project to invest. Please wait and be patient, good luck will come to us.

I have the same thought and that is why I have been out for a long time and just taking a peek here when I have a spare time.

It looks like it is dead but I still have the high hopes that there will something amazing that will come out again.
There is just too many to research them all. That will always be the hard part. Filtering each of them just so you could get the better one to invest with.
I am also looking for answers from different bounty hunters.

I don't think ICO is already dead since there are still so many ICOs outside here but yes, there are less ICOs which is really good and had a good future.

To find out the good ICO project in this freezing period  is very hard because almost investors are being panic and many projects dare not deploy at this time

I don't think ICO culture is dead, but the trend of ICO culture is critical, and this requires the trust to keep going well. Not all ICOs are fraudulent but it's still a difficult development process with the situation.

ICO projects are just sleeping not dead. Regulations from different external authorities will eventually come for ICO's to avoid uneffective approach to the investors. Maybe you are just wondering why there is no big projects like what you have given Dao, Liks and Waves and assume that there will be no projects like that anymore. Market is recovering after the 2018 downfall but soon it will be fine again.

for what category will you declare that it is a fake project? if ico who has not launched their tokens for a long time to market exchange, it means that all ico are fake because so far there are no tokens that launch into the market. but I have my own judgment, even though I haven't launched into the market exchange, if the group and community are still active, and the token is clear for distribution, I think it's a good project.

I don't think ICO's are neccesarily dead, I think they will change from the current definition though. The majority of 2017 ICO's were sketchy people just trying to make a quick buck off of people hoping to get rich quick. That needs to change for one, there are reasons for certain regulations. I mean you'd think that people would be smart enough to do their own research but it's mob mentality at times. I think you'll start to see a lot of stocks start to tokenize to trade 24/7 and the ones that adopt it first will do the best primarily because of the massive attention they'll be getting, once they do Tokenize, you'll start seeing ICO's take off again instead of IPO's.

Right, I think the crypto and the ICO is depression keep continues in this year, due to the scam project and the team, they will not trust this more in the future, if the problem have not improved, no new investors want invest it anymore.

Many projects have died because of the bear market. But now the market shows signs of stabilizing, it will probably not go down much more, so the only way to go is up and away!

there has never been any "promising ICO" to begin with. there has only been useless projects with shiny advertisements that fooled people into giving them their money! and a design that works on gullibility of people can not go on forever. this type of strategy has a limited time of succeeding before everyone starts learning and realizes that they shouldn't trust strangers with candy in the back of their vans.

It has been said on this topic more than once and almost always everything goes to the opinion that the crypto currency will give a second life to the ICO sphere at its next take-off

Most of the current projects are a repetition of what has been and the incessant scams hasn't done good to ICOS today. But hopefully, I believe STOs which are tightly regulated will become more prominent among crypto enthusiasts

The point is that that the whole sphere or culture as you wish of ICO is changing and transforming right at the moment. Many countries apply regulation on it, others are in the process of adoption of the corresponding draft bills. Besides ICO are losing their popularity and STOs are coming to the forefront. This should give a new breath to the whole market. I hope so at least.

ICO actually did not die, but indeed now ico is experiencing a pullback because indeed there are so many dead projects now that there are now many who are experiencing failure this year and yesterday

And the trend has slowed down due to the inability to offer the investor something new. And the bears just froze all the projects, reducing the investment. Therefore, two questions immediately arise, maybe it’s time to reduce the number of projects, and the second is that they have their capital.

Now few people talk about good ICO projects, because nowadays you can’t be sure of almost any project right up to its full completion. There are very few fully successful ICO campaigns. Something happens all the time, something they come up with new, various KYC checks, and if tokens are listed, it is not in our stated wallets, but if in wallets, then in the end it's a ridiculous amount. In general, in the end there is nothing to talk about. This is a very difficult period for bounty hunters.

I am interested in your opinion, all the ico tokens that force themselves to enter and continue into the market will quickly be stranded like garbage because small volumes are unable to boost value for higher, investor interest has now weakened against the sale of ico tokens which always bring losses , ICo takes a long time to wait for the market to recover

Agate is one of the project looks more promising but even that is stopped in midway without any information and I too didn't check after their paused sales,I hope it will be opening by this month so it can be considered as good among others but definitely I am not going to invest on any projects.

I don't see any great potential ICO, recently there are numerous of ICO that appear but it offers a decent feature, I think people nowadays creating ICO to make profit not offering the feature to make people easier to used, there are some people screaming the ICO project in this forum, but I still hasn't found any solid project yet

The more investors think that ico is now dead. Admittedly or not, I feel that way too. The possibility of investors no longer want to deal with what is called ico, because the number of ico skam and they do not want to lose anymore.

I don't agree with you bro, because until now I have seen many ICO projects that have been a big success. If you want to find an ICO project, look for it at ICOBench and choose ICO with a good rating.

Also I agree with your choice, the exchange platform can indeed be used as a recommendation for some bounty hunters and usually the devs project can provide a promise that can be realized (give profit to all bounty hunters). Until now, I have seen several exchanges that have completed bounty campaigns such as eosex and other projects. At least, when no investor invests in their project, they can rely on bounty hunters to use their own platform.

There are a lot of very interesting projects waiting for better market conditions and maybe others actors are waiting for some regulation. Let's see.

I can't say that ICOs are dead but I can say that investors are sleeping nowadays because of too much scam ICO projects. If there is no investors, then ICO tokens will not be sold out unless they have such big partnerships with other platforms.

I think that too many ICOs are popping up every day, so investors are confused to choose ICO that is good and honest, there is no fraud. Because of the true decline in ICO interest at this time because the price of Bitcoin declined and also a lot of fraud.

Be patient, the project is still good and running with the guidance you choose the project then you will find good projects and even more than Waves. Try to open your heart and accept that there is still a really good ICO for you to do, and investors will definitely be able to contribute.

It is not actually dead. The reason why most ICO fails recently is because of the current market situation and most ICOs are scam. That is why some investors are skeptical to invest and most ICO don't get enough funds for their development.

I see good projects sometimes, 1-2 per month for sure, just the ICO boom is over, and many projects are afraid to enter the bear market, so there are so few of them.

Bittorrent is a good ICO. Unfortunately, we are late to participate in it, and the lucky participants have recently recorded a profit x4. But this is an exception to the rule in modern times.

Oh, you also support DexAge. Do you like it?
As for me it's one of the most promissing ICO at this time. Because decentralized exchanges much better than centralized.

ICO is starting not to be proud for this time and many have already lost hope for it. When they are finished and entered in the market then everything ends because of the decline in many cases. This made investors begin to lose hope and presume that the ICO start slowly died and could not be expected to result.

ICO's still have a future. Especially if some sort of regulation is established via a trusted 3rd party authenticator that will squash out all the scam projects and ensuring the authenticity of a dev team / project. But until then you just got to use common sense. If its obvious that no effort has been put into presentation at least, then stay clear of it.

Most ICOs nowadays seems not profitable anymore.Most of the tokens drop its value when it is already in a exchanger.More people drop the coin or token due to fears that it will dump and lose its value in the long run that is why projects could really prove its worth if it recovers from the dumps and bear market.

not all ICO's are dead I believe there are few ICO's has promising project, but it's difficult to find which one of them because some of ICO's looks legit, but a scam.

I've been seeing new ICOs added to coinmarketcap so I assume there are still new ones being introduced all the time. The coinmarketcap list seems to be growing a bit on a weekly basis, and that doesn't even include all of them as many don't even get listed on there.

ICO should evolve, protect investors from the scam, and then everything will be fine. ICO is a great tool for young and promising projects.

It depend how you search ICO we have so many good ICO and many scammed ICO's. It up to us if how we choose it project, that why we need to scanned it very will before apart of their campaign. And about ICO existant, thay still exist until now every new peoject promotion through ICO's.

I will not say that the ICO market is dead but there have been slow past of invent in the ICO market due to lack of trust from the members of the community and this is as the result of so many scam and failed projects but if you still take a deep look you will still fine some project which are worth investing in but you must first of all carryout strong research on your own before investing in any. One among them is the mb8coin which is still at their ICO stage to end in march 31 so just take a look.

I can't say ICO is death but the bad once have spoiled the good once that is why people are scared to invest in ICO but I will just advice anyone that want  to invest in any project should just try to make proper investigation before investing in any of the ICO because most of the ICO now are scam.

Not at all, even projects who were successful in their ICO stage slowed down on developmet. It goes the same with ICO, due to thw market crash, people are not investing their crypto in ICOs to avoid further losses.

ICO is not dead but we can't denied the fact that it is now really down due to the market condition that we are now experiencing. The dropping of the bitcoin and ethereum price has really a great impact in crypto not only in ico but also in all crypto currency feild. I believe that there are so many legit ico that is now slowly rising but there are also some ICO that got cancelled because of the huge dip. That is why i believe that ico is still alive and it still works.

Well i think that culture is dying. Its not dead yet but it is already on the path of a slow death and that was only possible because of the scams and cheats that it is now going down.

Scam projects were just ruin the people's trust towards crypto investment. Thus, investors will have doubts of putting up their money on there or never make it.  As for now,  a huge numbers of fake ICOs were not succeed from their wants as the people were about that scheme. It is not the way of ending but to minimize those things.

It's kinda dead I think, for now ICO is only fund raising program I think without showing the real use. yet If a project showing a development it will take a long time and also the price of the token it will go down for a long time and it will make investor stressed out... I don't know this year but I think it will be the same (90% shit 10% good but with long development)

ICO still alive but with less demands, because crypto market was in red conditions now
and this is why a lot of ICO project didn't reach their cap my friend

I believe with less good project that occur right now is not the sign that ICO is dead already. I think it still struggling because of the market that suffer a great loss in the last several month. Making all the investors hesitate to put their investment in the ICO, and the effect is the ICO having a hard time to collect fund.

Everything looks like this, because now investors really very skillfully evaluate projects and this is a great joy, because now there are a huge number of people who have a great understanding of the idea of ​​the project and its development.

ICO is dead for now temporarily but it will come back once ethereum and the crypto market bounce back from its downfall, somehow theres still some launching of ICO out there though theyre brave enough to launch it without thinking that investors were really hesitant to invest right now especially in this bearish market.

It's too early to say that it's dead already. Even with the diminishing number of good ICO, we can still say that there are still those who are authentic in their project. The only matter is how we can find those promising ones because we are blinded by the thoughts that ICO are scam.

Nope... I didn't participate in ICOs for a long time... Bittorrent was the last more or less hypy ICO, but I decided to pass it. I don't expect any ICO in near future. Hopefully we'll see the market rebound this year and STO will come during the next bull run.

One of the reasons you might not have been seeing any good report on some ICOs that are making some clear-cut differences and meaningful impacts in the crypto space, is because there are too many scam ICOs.
Not all bounty hunters are even aware of good crypt I currencies, except for those  that have participated in one or two.

ICO market is going through the same difficult times as the entire crypto market, but I believe that this market will still work

The market still has a low value and ICO has difficulty developing so that this hampers the development of the ICO. New projects will be present to be able to offer applications and this is one thing that is slow to get investors so ICO continues to run instead of dying just to be able to get the sympathy of a complicated investor.

ICO culture is not dead but not an interesting even for investors due to lot of scams happening all around. Investors are not investing much money so most of the ICOs are not able to reach hard cap and some of them even do not touch soft cap. Even if some projects have collected good money their token price is not increasing in this bear market again hurting investors. There are still some ICOs which are trying to balance the market but with very low success rate. I did not receive any reward worth selling since July2018 even from joining signature campaigns where as in late 2017 to early 2018 my earning from bounty campaigns was more than my salary.

The ICO's started to turn scam and the people have lost their beliefs in them. Because there were some project that they have succeed at the end with catching their hard cap but they have just ran away and stole everyones money. The unsuccessful ICO's could fade away with some little money but if you reached the hardcap and you still run away the people would looose their all belifs to you right? I believe that everything started for that reason.

in any case, we are today only at the beginning of the development of the ico company's market, because it is thanks to new projects that any sphere of human activity can have quality services and high-tech results using cryptocurrency.

Definitely Nope!,
ICO has the bright future after 2018 ICo collapse. People are well aware about the evaluation of the project. So far Oath Protocol has all the quality that people start to trust back on ICO.

in last few years, i have seen so many ICOs success and many of them are in top 50 altcoins but also many altcoins failed, and after the fallenof the market price last year, ICOs have lost their attentions from investors due to so much scams or low practical purposes, and now it may be too late for ICOs to rise again, but ICO is still a good way to promote a project on internet nowadays.

it's not easy, of course, we chose to be able to ensure that the ICO project will be able to develop well for a long time, especially with market conditions like this, and crypto prices that are currently down very dramatically, in my opinion, which also greatly affects ICO project to be able to succeed, because some investors may have begun to hesitate to invest and support the existence of new ICO projects that are not necessarily able to achieve success.

In any case, Each of us should make every effort to study all the available information. Each of the projects of interest. In this way, it is possible to identify a more promising project for further cooperation with these coins.

I can only agree with your opinion. All the scam projects have really killed the ico market. There are still some icos living, but it will probably be the last months in which icos will be carried out.

maybe, I saw many projects that failed to raise funds. ico is no longer the best way to find development funds. nothing good in all ico is failure. scam, a failed project and an investor losing is a common thing here.
so maybe I ico is dead now.

Not completely dead yet, but yeah slowly dying. I'm agreeing with you, or it seems that I'm living in the cave too, but there really aren't any promising ICOs out there. Just some scammy ones that are late to the party and now are trying to grab some investors money. Eh, crypto space became very toxic lately.

To be honest, I can not name the new projects. Because I have a great distrust of him now. Better choose projects like investment waves. Because very young projects often die within a year after the release.

It just stopped for a while I guess. Now culture is going back and everyone is trying to invest in bittorrent, so culture will get back . Let's see for some month and crypto spring will show us results

It is not yet dead. But soon this is expect to happen. People are killing the nice concept in the name of lots of scams.

I don't think ICO culture is dead already, but ICO market is facing a very tough condition, as all crypto coins, traders, supporters are facing as well. If the crypto market turns again in a positive zone, then I think ICO Era will come again into the positive track. Right now, I can suggest you only STO project except ICOs. Mobu, Gigzi, Velice, Hyghtech are a very good choice at this moment. You may research these projects.

I see fewer ICO's and lot of them that were funded in 2018 are slowly fading away. I believe this is good thing, as it allows to weed out bad projects and projects that don't have good customer base (and rely on funding by investors too much).

in my opinion ICO is not dead just that now a lot of ICO is good, but it doesn't reach softcap. I often find this kind of ICO. I also haven't found an ICO project that really makes more money.

Recently it is very difficult to find good projects. Investors have stopped investing their funds in projects at the ICO stage. But sometimes good projects are found.

Yes, we did not find a project like waves, but there were several good projects last year. Pundix, Lala, Docademic and many others good ICO was found 2018 and many good projects are still running which was started in 2018! However, at this moment, I can suggest you haratoken, though this ICO can end today! Mobu, Jur, Dexage looks promising to me at this moment, you can invest there. Good Luck

Because of some useless projects and berish market that we recently have, people hesitate to prepare new projects and take a break. However, I think this is a temporary situation and the proportion of good projects and the teams of people who have really committed to this work will rise and again ICOs will find a great deal of interest.

Now there is a big problem with promising projects. All promising projects are redeemed by large funds at the preliminary sales stage. Simple investors to get there is very difficult.

Interests in ICOs are continually dwindling and it's majorly due to the bear market. I believe there are still good projects trying to breakout from the numerous scam projects, but it will take a lot of digging around to find such.

I have over the last six months haven't noticed not a single project which could collect hardcap , I think for the most part ico outlived its usefulness and should be more than other types of attracting money !

ico era is coming to an end, sto will continue to gain popularity, I advise you to take a closer look at the bolton project

Well if you think that's the case it is totally not true for projects for all and sundry. I think there is still hope for the ICO market after seeing what BitTorrent (BTT) did some days ago. Even with a huge total supply they were sold out in less than 30 minutes and now BitTorrent is the talk in the space cryptocurrency. I think if all ICO can follow similar process like what Justin Sun did, then there is still hope for the ICO market.

I believe that if the ICO sphere were dead, then no one would create them. Of course, fraudsters are not sleeping and are now creating ico, but the fact that the market is now in a bad position negatively affects all ico in general. You ask to name successful programs, but I understand that you mean those ico that launched their product and show success. Unfortunately, I can not name such ico, because I do not follow them after they finish their work. But on the other hand, even those ico that had previously released the product and were successful, are also failing, the price of their coins is going down, since everything depends on their position in the crypto market.

By themselves, many ISOs are questionable for investment. As for me, it is easier to buy coins and trade them in the market or a favorite "holding". Agree, stupid idea in creating a million meaningless coins. It is better to maintain existing ones.

I think due to all country coming forward and starting to state rules and regulations for the crypto currency, so all scam ICO are stopped and good ICO are just preparing fully and then coming in the market. So we have to wait for good ICO to invest.

I would say this too because of the rampant scams of most ICOs these days it brings down their rank and probably giving a negative impact to most investors. I guess they really need some kind of new rules and regulation to make things going but me neither doesn't even know what idea should i give to them. Because i myself felt like the hassle was piling up together with that KYC thing and other verification methods.

If we stay with ICO, it should be a tight decision and you won't hesitate to do what's best for your investments. Don't be too rush on things aroundnus because that will not bring good due to wrong information. Be observant and wiser enough to avoid being scammed by fraudulent people.

Now most of the projects are suitable for the category of standard. I think that when a really outstanding project appears, there will either be a big hype around it or that it is more likely that its ICO will be quite quiet.

yes, regulations may be tightened or investors who are increasingly careful to invest in ICO projects. the market can indeed affect investor interest but in my opinion the ICO project is a lot that is not enough to awaken a large investor interest

I think there are no much promising projects of late due to the current market conditions. Most projects are now holding an those who have started are going through a lot in order to achieve their targets. Let's hope for a speedy recovery and things might get better.

I think that the market of ICO is dead. But when the market will recover, the market of STO's will enter in crypto. Many new projects will make STOs to introduce their ideas and products.

I think that the ICO culture is coming to an end, because for a long time there are no outstanding projects in the market in which it would be worth investing money.

The ICO investment are continuing to decline because of the trust that broke and the lack of support. There are only few worth it ICO nowadays and it is hard to find one. We will only experienced loss if we do not invest in a valuable ICO.

I also have no choice but to promote some ico.
with the hope that this project will be successful, it is difficult to find ico quality.
I don't say ico will die, but there must be a new way to make ico better and more convincing.

The ICO culture isn't dead yet, but it's slowly moving towards that. Many already understand this, but many still hope that the situation can change for the better. I believe that as long as they do not begin to deal with scams, we will never be able to restore the reputation of the ICO.

Not dead, no. We've started to see that the quality of the projects doing an ICO has increased. Potentially we'll see a rise in STOs although I hope not.

It is not dead, it is not the hype anymore unlike 2017 backwards. If you will check, almost all projects or new coins that are being listed on exchange/s will have 50% off from its ICO price or even lower. When bear market start I didnt see a coin that survived I mean that increased their value from the time of listing. Theres only one that I know of which is CHT.

I don't think yet and this is still there, now indeed for the condition of ico itself has not yet recovered, this unstable certainly requires time for everything to run normally again, in the future I believe there will be a lot of ico with a good team, and this certainly becomes our hope

You're absolutely right. There is nothing interesting right now.
The last interesting project I came across was TELOS (an improved version of the EOS blockchain). This was last fall. The project was successfully launched and is beginning to gain momentum, soon promised to launch the first dapp on its blockchain (this will be a cool game about dragons).

I truly believe that the ICOs market is going to recover as soon as the market will enter the next bullish trend. And I have no doubts that as soon as the market recovers we would see as much ICOs as never before.

- Although for a long time, we still can not see too many outstanding projects and bring profits to investors but we should still understand the cause of this story, which is the weakening of the market affecting ico. The market collapsed and investors feared, they did not provide capital to ico, ico was stronger or more prominent, it was not enough to develop but I believe this situation will improve as soon as the market has certain recoveries, ico culture still has a very long time to survive, it will not easily end like that

it does not die,now  there are still many promising ICO projects, it can be reduced because of down trend, but it cannot die because crypto is still alive and there is no regulation about it.

Believing it by then, though it is a big struggle for these days but it will end up soon. We're never to give up, instead we make ways to find comfortable on it. And those ICO's that make ruin this market will stop, then will be having a better community after.

Recently two prominent Korean projects listed in exchanges and their price was above the ICO price, I do not want to mention names but you can do your research if you doubt, and the best part is that both of them maintains their high prices till now... Another example is the bittorrent ICO, still made lots of profits for investors.. ICO is not deadz the best ones are just harder to find.

The ICO culture isn't dead. The only thing i noticed is that the rate of upcoming ICOs have really reduced to a minimal. There are good and promising ICOs if you do more research and i think it is good. Another factor that made it reduce is the bearish market. Good ICOs are still on.

The ICO market is not dead. Just a slight recession. Previously, each project was worthy to invest in it, which is not true now. Now there are promising projects, but there are few of them and every investor wants to participate in it. And considering the fact that there is a big stir around the project, it is not so easy to invest in it.

Sooner or later we need to do something with what is happening in the market now. Because now ICO is more like something very, very risky, because in most cases it does not end with anything good.

ICO is not dead but it still have ICO who are really good to invest your money. Mostly of the ICO is scam so that's why I think the other people know ICO is become dead.  Maybe it will become popular again this year if we see a lot of ICO legit again if the market rise that's the reason people trust again to ICO but they have good investment like ICO right now that people wants to invest.

The ico cuture is not dead, its only cooling off radar because of the market downlows. Most of these ICOs are largely dependent on hype and that can sell fast in a bullish trend. Do not hang it off bounty hunters alone, do your own research too!

The ICO investments is not yet dead but it seems that it is continuing to decline in these past months. The new trend nowadays is the STO and it seems that many investors are now preferring it in making investments.

It is not "dead" yet but it is definitely a lot less than what it used to be.
First of all everything went down in crypto all coins lost a lot of value so ICO being at this level could be considered even good at this point.

Also, it depends from ICO to ICO, if you look at the icobench numbers we had over a billion dollars last year however if you look at more recent months, on September we had 390 million dollars invested yet on October we had 532 million invested, nearly half as much, which means there must have been some ICO's people liked during those times.

Now, on January we had 344 which is lowest it has been for over a year now and that is bad but we are still more than one third of what we used to be and it shows promise of going back up again if market goes back to what it used to be.

With the recent IEO(Initial Exchange Offering) hosted on Binnacle exchange and such success it hd regarding price upon listing in that exchange, I have to tell you to watch any future IEOs on the Binance exchange closely because from track record, they might repeat the very same thing.

No, recently I joined an ICO which is IRX and it was so great! I hope there's one soon comes in the market as we enjoy doing this kind of job that can give us more profit and learn many at the same time.

I don't know about any good projects currently but be rest assured that until another way for raising funds for a new project is established, there will always be need for ICO unless the company partnering with the project or the project owners have the money to push the project forward

I also believe that the ICO is replaced by the ieo, it will be a very popular type of investment, as the chance that you will lose your funds is much lower than in the ico!

As the market continues at low levels, many projects do not launch ICOs. Many project also extending the ICO period or canceling the ICO because it cannot find the resources needed in many ongoing ICOs. However, despite the number of last years, there are very few projects that reached hard cap. And i think, when the market will start to rise again than people will join much more ICO.

To be honest at this time it is difficult to advise the ICO project and be 100 percent confident in it, I do not call to invest but I like the ETHA project. In my opinion, the project has a good team of developers and an idea for implementation. Success and profit are friends, again I remind you that this is just my opinion.

I think ico has started to be abandoned by his fans. They are tired of being promised big income but not realized. They are looking for other more attractive sources of income. So, slow but sure, ico will break up by itself.

Of course not. While others may believe that ICOs are gone and never coming back but you know what I think? I think they are wrong. I think ICOs will be back but in due time. Because right now, Most Projects are afraid to conduct ICOs why? First, The willingness to invest in ICOs have reduced due to the current market conditions. Next, It is a known news that existing blockchain startups are either closing down or laying off staffs. So they're just waiting. Don't worry, You'll see a high influx of New projects flooding the space soon.

ICO does not give good results again for this time. Don't be so focused on it because only a few are judged could produce and do not even know which is which. ICO indeed slowly begins to die because of the many factors that make it worse. invest in ICO or sign in at this time no warranties of results such as a few years ago.

Now with the market situation, it is a very bad idea to invest in ICO's because we don't know when the market starts recovering and the same it is also impossible for them to coin to increase its price after listing. So instead of investing in ICO's, it is very good to hold them until the market starts increasing.

I rarely see promising ICO nowadays and if you are looking for some, you may research an ICO that will be host by a well known exchange like binance. Bittorent ICO is one of the promising ICO this year where the token to offer already wiped out in just under 15 minutes. You are one of the luckiest investor if you were able to grab those below 10 satoshis. It went up a price for almost 600%.

I think its not the right time for ICO as projects barely gets over 1M USD investments . Lets say somebody comes up with really nice idea , creates ICO and gets really small investments , somebody can try to steal idea with better marketing if they don't have patent on idea (Not sure if you can get one lol ) or just wait for better market conditions and then offer ICO :)

The incessant fraudulent activities of project managers have made cryptocurency loose some of its sweet tastes and also coupled with high market volatilities, newbies and experts have lost interest and resorted to most secured STOs

Not dead but it can be said almost, now there are hundreds of ico, of course making investors confused because it is difficult to find good ico, especially the number of scam projects that make investors afraid to put their money.

ICO is not dead, but it is no longer as profitable, although there are exceptions, such as Bittorent

Very few are really promising ones given the current market situation.
But I do believe that there are still genuine projects that are currently holding their ICO.
You just need to put your extra time and effort in studying those projects. You can't assess them overnight.
But with all those crap and scam projects that cheated a lot of people here, the reason why most ICOs are not credible anymore.

In my view it's almost dead at the moment. But the launch of Binance ICO launchpad tells us that there are forces in this world which are interested in crypto crowdfunding. There is a small chance that we will get back to 2017 in terms of ICO with a new form - STO.

It came to happen that crypto isn't behave so well due to some bad issues which is really affecting the mindset of the others. As we notice that more ICO have failed and turn into scam, it greatly ruin the image of crypto space and make investors to worry for not making money in here or losing it. However, there are still procuring ICO which we can trust and make a lead for turning back crypto into good.  

Yes i agree on that, crypto is not dead but it is only in a down trend because of the negative issue that we are facing, there are so many scam ico that exist in crypto feild and there are so many victim that loss thier asset because of this scam, I believe that investors are now afraid in investing on ico that is why some other ICO are dead because no one really wanted to invest a big amount because of so many scam ico, it is really affect the crypto that is why we need to report scam ico so that they will not exist and the trust of crypto will back to normal.

we may not be able to get projects that will perform the way Dao,and waves perform but there still some good ICO out there,recently we had BitTorent sold out in minutes,we also had HARA TOKEN sold out in hours which proves that there are still good ICO,we just need to dig deep to get these projects.

Indeed ICO is already one of the crypto system that have been abused so much that a cryptocurrency enthusiast has a lot of doubts in joining a projects that offers ICO. ICO once heard by a newbie will now doubt that it would be a scam already and will not join unless they are swayed enough to join an ICO platform so I think it is a really a dead culture as of the present.

No, there are still so many ICOs outta here. ICO culture is always live everyday and its gonna be renewed by a new ICO from others project.

This is all because there is no standard that regulates the circulation of the ICO project. this is evident from the ease of making a project so that there are so many projects that do not have good quality that they fail to implement their projects. this is the thing that will always happen, there must be a special institution that regulates it. If not, the longer the Ico project will be abandoned by investors.

Scams and unpromising projects has made investors skeptic to invest in new ICO projects. Most of the promising projects were not able to deliver their tokens on the speculated time because of the market conditions. This has made the situation much worse and people lost their interest in ICOs and found it not profitable as it was before. May be with the next bull run, many new projects would pop up for sure.

ICO culture is starting to decline and be lonely, far different from the fertile year 2017, many rampant scams and useless coins. But each period will not be the same, this is the process to get better and more useful.

Is just a hype causing crypto market to soar high in that year(2017) and ain't gonna be happen again. Though hype will makes the prices up and everyone make big money on that time but in return, sorrows had come.
We are truly affected from this fall and even many ICO's have unable to raise enough money for their project causing them to stop. It is acceptable that last year isn't the perfect time crypto and we hope that it could be changes this year.

I see most of the ICO's now is postponed due to the market condition and eventualy they hard to raise the soft cap. But if you have time try to search good ICO's now i think theirs a lot of them but didnt get full support. ICO's now waiting for stable market before listed in the exchange. Some of my friends surrender now to do bounty, but me i continued doing this because i know their is a good ICO's.

Apparently, ICOs are not yet dead it just not profitable anymore and many investors lost interests on it because it were targeted by scammers, creating fake projects just to fool investors  and run away after collecting funds. As this year, i have read some news that Bittorrent (BTT) is making waves nowadays and created great hype on toward investors.

That is because ICOs are changing direction. We now have IEOs which are fast gaining popularity and it is only a matter of time before huge projects start rolling out their own IEOs like the ICOs we had last year

no, it's not the end of ICO's, but it's hard to find a good ICO these days some of them can not reach soft cap still many failure ICO's and scam.

ICOs are merely rebooting. Investors are wary of any project dubbed "ICO" these days. That is why they fail to perform well during their token sales. ICOs are a great way to raise funds for legit companies. I don't think the culture will be gone any time soon

Here's an ICO report by CoinCodex (https://coincodex.com/article/2986/december-january-ico-market-report/) for December 2018 and January 2019.

The ICO market (https://coincodex.com/ico-calendar/) is just going downwards. In January only $143 million was raised (December 2018 was $504 million). It's still a lot overall but since the ICO hype the drop has been drastic.

I think its hard to find on what you're  looking for on these days,especially we are still on decline market. But when you think about regarding with your rank,  you must have more knowledge than us in finding a good ICO.

No need asking or good projects. All you will get here is a long confusing list. To me, I see no promising project yet because many turn out will unexpected value.

it has been very difficult to find a good ICO project as you want, because in 2018 there were many scam ICO projects so that this year made the ICO project reputation worse, especially when the market conditions were bad so it was very influential on ICO sales, now only luck if we get a good ICO project.

Now the crypto market member have dropped dramatically, all of that can be seen at CoinCodex, I hope in the future condition will be better so many investors can believe in the ico project, so the ico project will not die

The ICO market is already saturated and there are almost no new investors, just old timers moving their money. Compared to 2017 where many projects reach hardcap, now they barely reach their softcap. So.. not entirely dead but its getting there.

I guess it is just losing its reputation in the market. But still I can say that there are many ICO's that still going out in the market and that is an indication of a recovery very soon at this moment.

Now even the largest ICO companies do not know when it is better to launch their ICO companies, and even if they launch, they cannot sell all their coins. Now is a hard time for everyone. Large investors are also waiting for better times.

The situation is really difficult, no one wants to lose profit entering a similar market, but on the other hand no one also wants to lose profit, because in theory a reversal can begin at any moment.

No interesting ICOs now.

Though I'm not really into investing of altcoins, I don't find it more productive anymore for someone who's been catching with ICOs. Most of them are scam and will definitely find a way to raise their market cap though the market is on a very bad position.

The ICO culture isn't dead, i think the reason for a slow down in upcoming bounties is because of the bearish market, and this have made lot's of investors to pull back, once the market bounces back, the ico culture will resume.

if in my opinion it hasn't died yet but those who want to die are investors' trust in the ICO again, because there are already many investors who feel disappointed because they are often tricked or lose their money. so my hope is that this year until the next year the ICO can improve so that investors can trust and return to investing

I think yes, because that`s the effects of many scammers now who build their own project/ fake project to earn money in the wrong way,  that why its hard to find good project and more of ICOs not are dead or scam.

in my opinion ICO culture began to decline rather than die because in my opinion there are still many investors who want to invest in ICO even though not as much as before.
but I am sure if there will be something that can be done to overcome this problem so that the ICO will get better and the ICO culture will be crowded again.

I see the development of the ICO every day. And indeed ICO has indeed been declining lately and has no potential to die. But I still believe there are still many ICO enthusiasts who are loyal to invest and there are still many ICOs that I think are good.

It is true that there are too many scam projects and it is rather difficult for any project to collect funds for the further development, but there are still worthy projects which can give a good profit if you invest in them.

a lot of ico have ended up scam but I don't think that all ico are really dead, maybe only a few of them, and now I'm interested in ico using the eos platform. this, it is very good to follow that the growth of the eos and koinya platforms is also currently quite good.

I wouldn't say the ico culture is dead... but I'll say they look more dead than alive... it's very difficult for ico's to raise a thousand dollar nowadays... I was participated in a project that raised only 50$ and tey silently disappeared without making a single noise

meybe yes, many investors are no longer interested in new projects. they focus more on old coins. many reasons why it is like this. one because many project scams and token dumps after listing. this makes investors lose. so if you want to make ico like you used to, one way is to solve the ICO fraud problem.

I do not work with such projects. after all, before you work, you can find out how much money the project has collected and only then start to work with them

Still lot of ICOs were running but most of them are not getting enough funds what they are looking for and the success of the new crypto project getting less and less by the days passes due to the long bearish trend so we will see the bettr days for ICO investment when the bull run begins until that we need to keep holding our hopes.

There is some slight movement in the ICO sphere and I believe that people are already waiting for some great projects to invest in. Just look at BTT token sale, it was over within several hours from the beginning.

Now a lot of ICO is being carried out, but I don’t see promising projects among them, such as you called.
I found one project that at least is already trading on exchanges and decided to invest in it. Including participating in the bounty campaign.
I hope to be able to earn.

Sometimes we go blinded by what is happening, without the interest of the investors in the market now, we also loss our trust and with that
we are having a difficulty in seeing the potential. If you look and just read on the projects whitepaper, study it's overall platform and decide, I think we can find a lot of good ICO, however, with doubts in our mind, things will be difficult.

A project that is in an exchange has just achieve its first job, yeah, it was their job to list the project in exchange because investors
will be after it when ICO concluded, and it's a challenge for them but the fact that they still list during the bear, that shows they are not afraid of the short term effect.

I am sure that the ICO will never die, now only the ICO continues to emerge and this will continue as long as people continue to develop crypto.

ICO culture is still going on but looking for projects that you say are very difficult because now the founders of the ICO are just a replica of the current project.
even if there is maybe now is not a good time to market it.

There is a new ICO every day but promising is not yet seen. And the decline in Crypto's market price this year is certainly very influential. But you don't give up to get a promising ICO. As the project that I am currently following has good potential and you can check. If you are interested, of course, you can join.

It seems, there are no clear rules and regulations that are very detrimental to the future of Iico, this is because everyone is too free and easy to make ico so it is widely used for scam projects.

ICO culture has been very affected by what happened in 2018 and a lot of exit scams ICO-based projects.

But this doesn't mean that good ICOs stopped to exist. They just became harder to find, but they will always exist on the market.

I think that is a very big problem right now. I think ICO need rule and regulation before a project creates their tokens and seeks funding through ICO. That will reduce scam projects and avoid fraud.

In the beginning time of the ICO projects, many of them could be trusted and people interested in them. many of ICOs did what they promised to do. Like Ethereum, NEO, ARC, Most successful ICOs all the time. But with the scammers arrived into crypto market people started to stay away from the cryptocurrencies. I also lost my funds invested in a project without proper research. The other thing is a big cryptocurrency breakdown. Many ICOs are postponed or closed after that. there are still ICOs available. they are not completely dead. we can hope they will reborn with the recovery of the crypto market.

This is indeed a problem because there is no rule. Now people also feel free to make ico easily and are also very vulnerable to fraud. many people have felt great losses due to this

Now there are a lot of projects, so if you search, you probably can find quite promising ones!

What pop in my mind about quality ICO is, there are still some good quality project present in this crypto space, right now the problem would be even the best/high quality project facing a hard time to collect fund from the investors that makes them loosing their chance to get the required amount fund they need cause many investors getting afraid to invest.

Yes, because throughout 2018 market prices have declined, which has a negative impact on the ICO. Many projects fail and fraud projects also increase. So that a good project hasn't been seen until now. Of course, this year if the market rises again I think ICO will also be better.

No it has just been renamed to STO.

Because we are in the bear market, most of the icos are postponed. When the market starts to rise, be sure that we will see a lot of new icos. Ico's are just on a pause period.

we can not say that it is completely dead but if any policy or terms will not be added that will remove the fraud projects than surely it will be dead in future.
there should be a policy that recognize and remove the illegal projects.

a lot of the suspended ico even stopped because they did not get investor funds. it looks like this year has been a bad year for ico because there are many who can't get investors. I am sure investors do not leave the market, they are just waiting to come back again.

for ICO right maybe it will never die but if bitcoin doesn't have good development and bitcoin has not been liked by many people, the world of cryptocurrency including ICO will die.

yes you are right, I think almost everyone here also likes bitcoin and won't sell it cheaply because the market doesn't support now, so I'm not worried about ico going to die, I'm still sure there are good ico to follow and we just need to look for it detailed.

As long as the market remain bearish, the ICO culture is as good as dead. Most of them are struggling and only few will survive this turbulent time. I think the project developers need to find new approach to fundraising and come up with new, innovative ideas.

We don't always know the good ICO projects in advance. Even Waves or Dao etc. or even NEO, Augur etc. weren't known at the beginning. It is only when they got big that people started noticing.

Initial Coin Offerings are a great way to crowdfund interesting and promising projects within the blockchain market. As many have mentioned above, people have invested in too many ICO's that have not been able to deliver on their promise. No products, no updates and just visions and ideas.

By next week, My team and I will actually be posting about our ICO website for our new project called Cryptosalary. We are a swedish team coming from a successfull Proof of Concept in Sweden. Now we want to take that idea and make it global. Our main focus is to come out with an Minimum Viable Product as quickly as possible. Using ICO's in the correct way!

I also experience a lot of scams ICO these days and those ICO i participate in stops halfway and not continue which is wasting all my effort. Personally i does not see any promising ICO at the moment and i will bookmark this thread as well.

I don't think it's dead yet. Crypto currency is the currency for the next generation. It's use is not confined to only earning. It's becoming day to day use. Though the graphic curve of crypto currency is lowering but it will bounce back.

I cannot say that the ICO culture is dead. Because in fact there are still many new ICOs born, every day I see a new ICO born. But yes, many people have lost confidence in the ICO, so many ICO projects failed to reach hardcap. I think ICO culture will continue to exist along with developments in this digital era.

I don't think so but in my opinion it will be replaced by another more regulated form called security token offering with know your customers feature and more compliant with regulators

ico is not dead but indeed now there are very many projects that are dead and make the devotees decrease very large. this is a natural thing that happens and in my opinion now there must be an update of the ico system which has begun to no longer sell in the market

Indeed, many projects or ICOs have died and are not developing, this is very sad and is starting to disappear from circulation. In contrast to well-managed projects and having a responsible team, any information will be delivered so that it can monitor the developments that occur.

the market situation in decline is very influential on investment for ICO, I think it is still too early to conclude that ICO will disappear. or maybe there will be a new break after this decline stops and stabilizes.
we are still looking forward to it

There are very few ambitious projects now. Basically, all the projects that are beginning to work at the moment is a scam.  It is best to enter the community of confident projects such as Papusha and SUQA.

ICO There should be a change in terms of patterns. because now there are a lot ofico projects that are scam and also deceive the public and those who have to be victims are investors and bounty hunters. most ico today have huge potential for fraud

I don't agree with what you say, and what basis do you say that? nothing has changed and it's very different, I hope you read this, and please learn The Difference Between The Two (https://101blockchains.com/sto-vs-ico-the-difference/) maybe a little help.

many ico die because the market situation is under and this also affects investor interest which tends to reduce their confidence to reinvest with the ico project, so there is no need to worry because the market will improve soon and investors know about this, it is important we must be patient and wait

I think that ICO will exist for a long time, the situation with fundraising is now quite difficult for many projects, fees go badly, and projects simply cannot enter the market, but I think that the situation will change with time.

ICO culture hasn't dead yet, but these days a plenty of scam projects, so investors are very much confused. I believe once the crypto market stabilizes, then the situation would change.

I think so, that the ICO method is a bit outdated, maybe soon there will be better methods and new methods than ICO, I think in the future a new way will be easier and more practical

There are a lot of massive projects that are about to launch their ICOs right now. They are only waiting for a better market conditions and for the moment, when people would be ready to invest a lot in the ICOs market.

No still ICO doing good in the market. But it has some future to be fit in cryptospace.
OAth protocol is a very good project. It has some future cryptospace ethics.

The culture of bountys is still alive and not dead yet, but much life is no longer there. I can tell by now that there are fewer bounties and the payment is not good either. The bounty culture will live on, but you will not be able to earn much money with it anymore.

No , not at all. The ICO culture is still going on, the only thing is that right now it is stagnant at a point due to stationary market prices of almost all coins.

I don't think so because i am continuously doing ICO's and the rewards are also good. But if you are linking the falling market and ICO participation then i think you are wrong. Because if the market can dall so badly, it can rise instantly too and to a great height.

Now is not the time to organize an ICO, so promising projects, like most bounty hunters, are on standby.

ico is dead? not really, this is only because there are too many projects starting ico. so investors find it difficult to choose which projects they invest. if you pay attention 2 years ago, new projects that started ico were far less than in 2018 to date. it became normal if the project that started ico a few years ago was quite successful.

The ICO market have not really being hard in recent time may be that is because of the decline in the price of most crypto in the exchange market, and most of the icos have not really being successful and so many scam ICO but despite that there are some other successful ICO in recent time.

How can you not know about BitTorrent, one of the largest torrent platforms currently belonging to TRON last year. The new ICO called for $ 7 million in a short period of time and has spent four times the ICO price on Binance

Just against the background of the maximum number and activity, it seems that ICO is dying, but this is certainly not so, everything goes naturally, such a difficult time now, let's see what will happen during the new price increase

Definitely not! Come on! ICO is something inevitable in crypto.
As you know, there is a lot of potential and ICO is a simple and unique way to collect crypto to make a project!

I don't think so, ICOs are still there but the only problem is that there was not much good movement for the digital market these days so for certain it would affect all in general, yet it wouldn't mean that everything will be gone and there will be no more good ICO. It is possible that ICOs are always there no matter what for as long as their is a need for it, and it only needs the right time to kick in.

this happens because of many factors. however, this made many good ICOs emerge. well, maybe because now people are good enough in choosing investments in the form of ICO. I am sure that in the future ICO will be better, because I think that this kind of thing is very helpful in developing technology.

Who said that the ICO was dead. I still see a lot of good ICO and there are still many successful ICOs. ICO died because the project could not develop and could not compete with others. What makes the ICO not attractive to investors.

Not yet, ico isn't dead ico is still there, if we can analyze it carefully there are actually ico that have good potential and with a good team too, right now there are many ico that are scam but not all, and if you are going to invest in ico you should can choose ico with clear goals and a good team, so that in the future there is no loss

The ICO culture has long been spoiled, the scammers have picked up many good ideological projects, and if constructive measures are not taken urgently, the ICO will not survive. Especially in the current unfavorable time on the market

I think that ICO culture is not dead but the trend is not more like before because investors are scared of scam or disappointed of other participated ICOs. I prefer to buy altcoins after exchange listings because often the tokens are much cheaper and there is no KYC required.

The slowdown of the cryptocurrency market is surely an influence on such situation. Low prices and uncertainty about future increases means that ICO projects are being halted until the economic situation on the market improves. All that remains is to wait for the development and improvement of the situation, and for sure an interesting ICO will appear.

It is impossible to list them, because there are few such projects and it is not known whether even my project will bring good profits!

ICO is currently in poor condition, so many ICO projects are currently not attractive. a lot of fraud and many projects that fail and there may be many things that are not good. maybe the ICO isn't dead yet, it's just in the struggle to improve again, hopefully in the future it can be better.

I believe that yes, 8 out of 10 of my projects extend the bounty, it is obvious that they have problems with fundraising, as well as the entire market. This is sad, because in the future it is difficult to say whether it will be possible to solve these difficulties.

As a bounty hunter I can say that most of the projects now do not come out of the status of promising. You participate in a bounty campaign and the project collects a lot of money on ICO, then you are transferred tokens, but they are worth nothing. At the same time, the project can go well and it concludes a number of agreements. Therefore, I would like to pay attention to the startups of 2017, which did not become popular because of the bear market, I'm talking about Bankor and Tezos.

In the short term, this will be the case, probably now there are a very large number of situations in which the ICO project has real problems and many characteristics. Probably now it is the main problem of the market and the danger to the future.

the ico culture is not dead yet, but it is changing week by week. good ico are becoming less and many investors have left the crypto market. i believe the ico culture will survive, but certainly unlike today.

I agree about the part that ICOs are not dead but this is totally wrong that ICOs are raising more money than previous years. There are only few ICOs which meet the hardcap in last 12 months while if you go one and half year back, even a normal rated ICO manages to reach the hardcap target.

It is difficult to say at the moment rather Yes than No!But everything can change with the change of the vector of market development, or rather bear market for Bullish, now many say about the fact that the future of cryptocurrencies, and it is better to look at the names of these projects, new ISO as practice has shown, stupidly after the fees immediately fall 5-10 times in price((

ICO is not dead, but trust has become several times less, there is no desire for investors to invest big money and risk so much, before everything was more reliable and profitable

The culture of  ICO is still on, investors are just carefull and reducing the risk rate thereby reducing the rate at which they invest in new project, lots of investors are HOLDING and  hoping the market will recover, to take profit and reinvest.

Hahaha...almost dead i guess. most ICOs that are in the cryptospace are either failing or have come to a stand still. I think what is going to trend from now onwards is the investment into STOs. Investing into STOs is quite safer than investing into an ICO.

Some of them ICO's have migrated to STO. I don't really like that new idea because if these projects have been planned all along then how come they can easily change it to STO? Are they using it be more attractive to investors? If I am an investor, I will stay away from those kind of projects.

Few projects at the moment that can really give you good money , I also think that it is best to stay away from the market , but of course if you see a really good project and you can invest in it !

Time consuming to search for the interesting ICOs in today's issue. The market is down and there are more groups and ICOs decided to postponed the project because everything is not under control. Even though we are also struggling there are few good ICOs that can be found. Try to look at bluenote project maybe you will be attract and be interested.

The ICO launches are realistically on hold as it does not make sound business sense to be launching them during what has turned out to be a year long bear market. Timing is everything when it comes to raising funds for a project so that is why the ICO's are quiet right now they are waiting for a turn up in the crypto market.

Yes, good projects are difficult to recognize among a large number of scammers or unsuccessful projects.
I don't think ICO is dead. But when the big pump comes back on the market, the ICO will not be as successful as before. Reputation is not easily returned.
Now I look at ROCKZ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5066575

There are so many ICO projects now, as long as you spend some time looking for it, you will definitely be able to harvest interesting projects.

I do the think that the all icon market is dead. I know that there is lots of scam and failed project. And for this thing people are not investing in most of the the icos. But there is still many good project which is worth investment. So its up to you that where you investing. So do some research and then invest. If you invest in right place you will make some profit for sure. So just do some research don't listen to others or go with the hype. Just do some research on your own and invest if you can take the risk.

I don't think that ICO culture is dead. It is only an unfavorable period of time for ICO projects, that's why many projects failed. Sooner or later the crypto will recover and successful ICOs will be more

With the advent of ICO, a lot of scammers from all over the world have appeared. That inevitably affected the confidence in the market as a whole. I think all the same STO will replace ICO

I participated in a promising project XYO, but it has already ended. Then the bounty hunters were well rewarded, and their coin was well exchanged. Now I am looking for a good project like XYO.
At the moment, the ICO market is cooling. This is a good sign, as it pushes projects to produce really necessary products, services and tokens to attract investors.

Unfortunately, repetitive ideas and good projects have fallen

It is not dead, it is just facing not the best times at the moment. This is happening due to the poor market conditions and investment mood, because people have already lost a lot of money and they are waiting for great projects to invest in.

The cryptocurrency market does not cease to flourish even despite the big recession, so I am sure that there are many projects!

You can still find some really good ICO, some even with a good working project, but investing into an ICO can and have always been really risky. The bear market and the scam projects have killed most of the ICO market. The lack of inflow of new money versus the outflow of money from crypto, have put an end to the easy 10x days.

Because of scamer there is a possible to be dead someday. Not only the investors they scam even the promoter of ico's, if someone khows how to prevent this scammers this ico's culture will survive. All we can do is to convince all of them that the ico's is never failed.

It's evolving in my opinion. Check out STOs and IEOs. Though IMO ICO is still not completely dead.

I think there are some projects still some days ago ended Vanta Network public sales they raised 7.5 as i know , Moozicore ICO  which signature i use has ongoing ICO it has already beta versions for product apps for IOS and Android, they inform licensed process for USA nearly done so maybe it can be interesting for you.

The rate of interests in ICO is gradually dwindling. The only thing that can revive it is if that can be an ICO auditing body hat can be trusted with such responsibility. Else so many ICOs might continue to fail.
Despite the reduced interest i ICOs, there are some that have been able to attract investors and have also succeeded. Some of those not succeeding are scam and there are some that could not do adequate marketing to attract investors.

Of course, I can enumerate but this will raise a wave of negativity, everyone must decide for himself what the project opens for, this is the main thing.

For me its no because there are still good ICO that are good for investors. they just be more taking time to think for it. some ICO'S are still profitable and some dont started there ico yet because they are waiting for the good start of cryptocurrency market.

I think that you are wrong and at the moment there are quite promising projects, but on some side you are right, I mean that these projects at the moment will not cause mass hype around them.

if it is to die, it still seems very difficult because it is from the ICO project that crypto makes more and more interested, so this year until the coming years fraud at the ICO can quickly become extinct and no more

Scammers will always exist, but when the regulation of the market will come when it will be much less. At least in bounty campaigns, there will always be  a scammers

unfortunately and the sad truth in recent times there have not been ico noteworthy, interesting, maybe their time is finished and we should all focus on the sto

There was nothing at all. Just emptiness. Most of the projects just disappeared now. I think time is over. Poor investors if the last half of the year are projects that cheat users. What will happen to the market?

Yes, alas, now there are absolutely no promising currencies that can hold their position for a long time and not lose their price. I'd like to believe that these coins can appear. But while the market we are in a very bad condition. There are some unknown coins which for the last 7 days made x2-x4. An example of such coins I have listed below as these coins I'm sure. XOVBank and TOKYO

Most of people know about that and the only possibility to prevent this through doing KYC verification to the all of teams. Remember the scammer will never try to reveal their identity to the public or they will be getting catch by the police.

ICO and the culture that has developed on the ICO market today is really experiencing very big problems, the thing is that there are so many scammers on the market who for some reason try to kill this market.

not completely dead, there are still some good ico and pay. it's just that because of the many fake ico, most people say that ico is dead. with a presentation between ico good and fake ico is 40% -60%.

The rate is only 90 $% ICO scam and 10% ICO is good. That is my assessment for ICO, in 2018 we have hundreds of ICOs but only more than 10 ICOs are really successful.

After a bullish run last 2017, and market slowly falling down, ICO was hardly affected because almost all of ICO even successful one are failing once it listed to the exchange the price are dragging down by this longest bearish season in crypto. But this maybe temporary once market become bullish again expect ICO become alive again.

Everyone has our own assessment but in general, ICO is not profitable these days.
Thats because of the falling market price and the bear still did not leave us, maybe soon we will see a good ICO back but for now
it's time to relax and just pay attention on the existing project, I'm sure there's a lot here that has a great potential and we can certainly risk our money with.

Unfortunately, all ICO's now are such a big scam, so that we can considered that the ICO culture are already dead not just for bounty hunters but also for some investors. Way back 2017, before the ATH of bitcoin, the number of scam ICO's is very small compare now,  hunters can easily find to get nuts, but now even those sites who making reviews about the scam projects are such like a bird feeder, making a fake rate for the paid.

ico's culture isn't dead yet, but nowadays many people leave ico because ico is a scam and a lot of fraud. I agree more and advise the founder of ICO to be selected more strictly by a special team so that they cannot commit fraud against investors and make a loss

How could you say that? Why not try to check the upcoming ICO's out there, I guess you just overcome by your thinking about ICO's. What I can say is that, as long as we are here on crypto, Investors support projects, there will be ICOs alive and going to enter the market.

The level of fraud is of course very high, but surprisingly, this is not the first thing that scares investors now, they just do not like how quickly prices fall when coins get to the exchange

Many projects only make small profits. And reliable ICO projects are very rare. For now, we really have to be patient, because all of this has the effect of decreasing the price of Bitcoin and all Altcoin. For the year 2019, I am sure if the market will surely slowly return to the top.

ICOs not much popular now like past. Many ICOs and projects postponed their plans and some ICOs dead. there is less crowd for bounty hunting now than before. I personally prefer the ETHA project and follows it these days. Their project idea is First decentralized remittance solution platform that allows cryptocurrency to fiat transfer. I think it is a good idea to follows.

When the price of bitcoin and other crypto currency prices increase we call it as bull run and normally if there is bull run happening the projects introduced at that time will get much of cap values due to the newbie investors who think it can give money to the even if it is shit project.

ICO is just part of the entire market of crypto, they affect major coins, BTC, ETH, and etc. It cannot be denied that they also
bring investors as they introduce investors to crypto world, when the feed back from investors is good it will bring positive trend to the market.

The ICO has slightly decrease but it's not officially dead yet, it's still early and probably more regulation will come in the future and things will change.
For now, let's enjoy what's happening and hopefully this will help a bit to the ICO market.

Correct. ICO is only a small part of this market, when this market collapses, ICO will be greatly affected so ICO has collapsed over the past time and cannot be as successful as in the beginning of 2018. I also think that in the near future when the market recovers, ICO will surely recover

I agree with you, I haven't found a promising ICO for a long time. even recently many fake ICOs have appeared. I think this is a matter of consideration for all of us to continue to analyze and share if there are promising ICO projects.

Of course, every year new projects lose their price. But there are some projects that are becoming popular when they enter the market. This is due to the fact that the project team is developing it and releasing new platforms. These projects will always be in demand!

Not really dead i think, it is only hard to find a really good ICO's in this crypto market situation.
You still can search for interesting crypto projects in the announcement thread.
But again, you need to be careful when choosing it. Many scam projects were created to scam peoples.

The number of Ico that failed and a scam in 2018 did provide a bad experience. But not all ico fail, some are successful even though the development is very slow and only a little. The token sales trend that is starting to develop now is the IEO, the initial exchange offering. So the tokens sold are available on the market, I think this is a pretty good innovation in building consumer trust. As a bounty hunter, I also feel more comfortable because this product is ready to be executed.

Well, 100 percent be sure that the ico is dead I can not say there are still projects that raise good funds during the ico but they are few, I think the ico is dead at 95% at the moment

Yes I strongly agree if ICO is replaced as IEO, because it will be safer from fraud like last year's ICO, and the advantages of IEO is that it will have a good impact on hunter Bounty, because if the sales run out, coins will automatically be listed on the IEO exchange.

While this is not going to be the most popular opinion in the forum I am glad that icos are losing popularity, it is true there are many success stories in the forum of people investing at the right time and making a fortune but there are many more stories of people that lost everything they invested due to fraud from the developers or that lost their coins to hackers.

ICO was not dead I think ICO was replace by another term like STO, IEO and many more and currently slowing because in the past year there is a lot of scam ICO where many investors lose their money, in my own point of view they are finding ways to avoid that kind of scenario again so that investors will have a trust again on investing in different platform.

Recently, the project that called fetch.ai gets sold out just in a few minutes again following what has been did by bittorrent. ico is not dead yet for the trusted ico. People are being even smart day to the day.

I will not mention the name of the ICO and the project but I will only tell you that there are some ICOs that are very profitable because after the ICO is finished and the coins are listed on the market, the price of the ICO is very high and even investors can get up to 1000%
I just want you to know that ICO is still profitable, although it is very difficult to find it, but the most important thing is the fact that the ICO can still provide investors with many benefits.

It's currently a challenging time for crypto in general, and when it comes to ICOs, past ICOs didn't actually leave a positive mark on investors. Many of them were just out to take their bit of the crypto burst and ended up leaving investors with tokens worth close to nothing with no utility value.

No, now it has been strengthened a little more due to the new regulations that have been imposed, which is favorable to avoid financial fraud, I have seen that there are many ICO projects with Airdrop phases, and have raised funds for their application of the project.

The ico culture is still there and is not dead yet, and in the future it will continue if there are still supporters and many investors involved, not all bad ico are still promising and we must be able to find them and certainly this is not an easy thing

Honestly, there are no great projects at this point of time ICO is scam infested that you will want to rest or promote a non ICO project, investors are losing money and bounty hunters are losing their time and effort, because it's all messed up.

Even though it is difficult to find a high-quality and profitable project, and the market is weak, investors still continue to consciously risk for the sake of high profits, if the market gets stronger, the number of people investing in ICO will again increase significantly

Nowadays new ICOs are decreasing in number just because I think regulatory measures and the market meltdown at present as compared to the past. You are right the market is filled with many fake ICOs. But it will be unwise to put all in the same basket. I am a bounty hunter. But do not find any good project so far except the First Islamic Crypto Exchange. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4722627

There is still a lot of ICO participation. Because the project still requires investors to invest. If the ICO culture dies, it will certainly be difficult to build a project that conducts ICO. Just look, there are still many ICOs that are still good and potential. Of course we can say ICO is still feasible.

No a lot of icos are still exists at still on operations and investors are still here also as cryptocurrency is continue to work.Ico is part of the bounty projects so if there are bounty projects suppose to be there ia ico.

Maybe not dead but gonna decrease a lot for me. Last year so many ICO on the crypto and most all of them is fail.
This year people gonna research very detail with ICO and not gonna easy invest on them anymore.

The amount of the scam project and the fact that the bear market "killed" tokens prices just after they entered the exchange made 2018 a "cemetery" for ICO projects. However, the form of ICO for collecting funds for projects, is very convenient and I think that with the change of cryptocurrencies market trends,  will become more and more popular again.

Due to all the difficulties of the market, it has become extremely difficult to discern an interesting promising project from the crowd. Either the project is already a copy of the already existing one, or the organizers hide the true intentions. And behind the innovative idea is either just a collection of money, or fraud. ICO needs updates

The ico industry is not dead but is currently experiencing a setback because there are currently so many people who have suffered heavy losses in these investments. so it's likely that this is what makes it a setback

A lot of my colleagues stop promoting ICO as of this moment. They don't even invest in ICO's. They are afraid that their money will be wasted in a non profitable ICO or they might end up in a scam project. As for me, I still continue promoting ICO project, hoping that I'll earn profit during this bear market.

Actually, the entire cryptocurrency market is resting, so the same thing happens with ICO. When prices on the market start to grow again, ICO's interest will also increase.

ICOs that are very good are so rare nowadays and even if there are some ICOs that are good, they are not getting enough funds to continue their work because no more investors or should I say there are less investors nowadays that are willing to take risks.

it is true that since the condition of BTC down in early January yesterday, almost all ICOs were not satisfying when they entered the market, even many investors lost. there was no idea from myself because the condition was caused by an unstable crypto

I recently invested in LTO Token (https://coinswitch.co/coins/ethereum/ethereum-to-lto-network) and Fetch.Ai ICO, LTO gave me 4x returns, but I am still holding it, it is an excellent project and I personally have been monitoring it. Entire Europe will be using there software in some time, because of the GDPR solutions they are providing on blockchain. I do not think ICO will culture will die ever, since ICOs are one of the ways to raise funds globally. There has never been any such tool earlier to put money into a company outside from your geo location and earn interest on that money.

all does not start from January friend. we can see again, the possibility of ico running in January this year is still running. the market is not so bad now, I actually see that throughout 2018, especially in mid-2018 the market starts to look bad and that makes ico also not as good as in 2017.

Same here most of the ICO's are really not in their good shape because most of the launched currency in the past year are scammers. But still there are still ICO's that are promising even though it's hard to find out which one it is that's why taking the risk with care is always the best thing to do in choosing the ICO.

There are a lot of good projects now however due to market condition some of them failed to accumulate enough funds even after their ICO's price may go down very low quickly. I think we can have healthy ICO's again once the market recovers and gain confidence over investors.

We hope for the best but lately projects don't pay, tokens are not listed on exchange or they scam everyone. Or they choose to perform kyc without prior notice which shouldn't be after everything is over(ico and bounty) and many participants choose not to send it and they lose rewards. That is from perspective of bounty hunter, from investor's perspective it is worst, guess why.

I think so too, but I do not understand when the improvement in the market will begin and we will see really good projects

therefore, as time goes by if many ICO projects are deceived, the faster and shorter the ICO will die or lose interest if there are no good changes later

IMHO at the current situation only place with great profit is binance launchpad, if you will be fast enough to participate ICO)

The culture of ico is not going to end if there are still bounty projects, because if the project has no ico it cant provide or collect funds so ico will not going to end as long as there is a project.but some projects are looking for new way to collect funds so let's wait for the updated  ways to collect funds by the project.

I believe good projects like you listed will be few out of many so its too early to complain ,good projects takes time and this is just the second month of the year ,presently fecth.ai and bitorrent nailed it so I can feel that ICO will make a come back this year 2019 better than last year ,I don't know whats happening on the STO side but I'm really not a fan of security tokens ,what matters to me is projects that are ready to deliver

Mostly good project always understand by after the listing of coins. Without own blockchain any project is very difficult to success in the market. Really, No body can not tell about the good project but can advise the feature of project. Many project are coming in the market are without the blockchain and scam. Now people are not faith on the new ico. But all ico are not fake.

ICO hype dying down is good imho. Because the real good projects can work in earnest. Remittance and other use cases are sustainable and can be achieved in a few years. ETHAremit.org has already laid the ground work to put crypto into the hands of the money remitting masses.

ICO is still very much alive. I doubt it is going away any time soon.  I honestly trust projects  that are Crowd/ICO funded and as long as they are solid projects.

As regards projects like the cryptocurrencies you mentioned, I know few but for the sake of not knowing them well enough I will keep the information to myself.

Yeah, just look at the recent Binance ICOs, you would think it was mid-2017. Their recent ICOs sold out in seconds! The money is still there, the smart money that is.

The ICO phase is trying to survive in the current market. Very few can pull it off and only those with solid partnerships with other companies are achieving their target funds. Most projects have the difficulty of raising even their soft cap. So I would say, ICO is not totally dead but maybe we are heading that way.

jes great the rich declaring themselves to king and billionaires, to be even richer, unfortunately, that is going not to work, roman empire also collapsed during the rich trying to occupy the throne

There are projects that dont have ico but they still continue and succeed while most of them usually have an ico to collect funds for further development . now on this year most ico's are not that good compare on the past and most of them are ending due to lacking of funds but almost everyday there are new replacements so i think its a never ending process .


New way to collect funds ?  How ?  Theres no other way to collect funds other than offering your coins to your investor .

Those projects that don't collect the money belongs to guys with deep pocket and they have another source of funds. In this case, it is meaningless to have ICO under such bad market circumstances. Airdropping the coins to crypto wallets and having the working product can be an alternative to be accepted by exchanges and it is for making money preferably than making ICO.

I can see you compare the old historical figures with cryptocurrency projects. The system is the same but the platform and places are different. Soft caps are the main problem why projects are not successfully finished. If an investor can't see any reason to invest in a project, then making useless advertising campaigns is absurd.

I agree with you. Not exactly dead, but STO looks a better choice for everyone. Most people now think that scam projects will end with STO. In my opinion, with regulations it is possible to reduce scam projects everywhere and STO is not a great invention.

I think most of them pretended to be dead , they wait for a bull run , today the number of unsuccessful projects has increased too much . I hope that in the future the situation will  change dramatically .

unfortunately, there's not much to share about this new great project unlike two or three years ago, I thought IOVO will become a huge project because of the people behind it and the project that will contribute to the betterment of society, but the ICO was paused because of the market condition.

That's indeed, those investors in binance platform will never feel doubt about that because any ico that will be listed on the binance launch pad will be involved a lot of the verification. smart money will always be looking for the smart place too.

The entire cryptocurrency community has somehow decides to abandon the ICO culture. People no longer shows their concern towards it.

not dead but ico trend is slow down right now.and investors are careful because of many fake ico project scammed huge money.but this is good sign.now real ico project raise real fund.

ICO Investors are careful because of the market right now. If we go up to 6k soon, you would see a huge rise in ICO popularity as well. Bitcoin needs to up its game.

Ico is not dead yet but i think it become so slow in 2018 where most icos can't reach soft cap or even the projects that got a decent amount of money in that year got wreck because their funds was completely drain because of bear market. I wonder what investors thinking right now but i think they are just being careful because they don't want to have a bad decision again in investing in icos.

It is difficult to find an ICO that can be relied upon since the market decline occurred. Some projects look good when the project is finished. But it also did not develop and until now has no selling value. I think we must continue to struggle to get a good project.

Well the era where every now and then an ICO would be up and people would be investing is gone this is because they realised that before investing in ICOs one needs to do a serious research and as such has lead to many projects without a focus fail, but with good research, you would still find good project.

It is not dead yet, but it is unlikely that it will be able to be as popular as before, even a bullish trend may not help it, it's time for serious changes, only with them the ICO will have a future

No, currently the ICO is still developing but not as much as what happened in 2018.
the reduction is due to the fact that more investors are waiting now and they are trying to avoid large-risk investments.
Now investors are more selective because they have learned what happened in 2018.

Many seem to forget this, yes the market is flooded with bad projects but that does not mean there are not some good coins out there, it is difficult to find them but for the skilled investor this is an advantage since he can find good projects while the rest of the people are unable to do it which means that he will get better profits since he can buy for a cheap price for longer than if there were a few projects in the market.

The culture of raising exorbitant amounts of money very easily is virtually dead now except for larger well recognized crowdsales which are pretty much guaranteed to be very popular however, the trend has changed to VC funding and private equity as opposed to raising capital from retail investors and the requirements are becoming much higher for projects to meet in terms of quality and transparency which is having a refreshing effect on the industry

with the cooperation between ico and exchange site that created IEO as the output will create a safe way for investors to invest in the ico itself. it looks like so many exchange sites are interesting in this thing.

It's actually easy if you will change your expectation.
The market does not give a good price, so if you are expecting a fast return then you should not invest in ICO, you do gamble and take higher risk for a chance. Just like the market decline, ICO will also decline and that's acceptable given we are in a bear market.

in my opinion the culture of ico hasn't died because ico is still running as usual, even now the ico rewards are a lot that are increasing and the bounty is still running as usual. the only thing that is different is the dying withdrawal culture. yes, withdrawal has been awaited in a very long time  ;D

Not yet, the ico culture is not dead, ico is still there, maybe because the crypto condition is not yet stable there is also an influence for ico, investors are reduced and many ico are failing, hopefully in the future there will be updates for ico so that in the future ico will run even better and more investors will be involved

That should be the reason, the market condition is bad for new entry project, not bad for all but mostly.
It cannot be denied, this is what we are seeing and experience right now, I bet you guys have a bad portfolio now and now only
new coins are affected, even our old coins, so it's necessary that this market will recover in order to see a progressive ICO.

To be honest i cannot recommend anything because most of them are fake or scam, until there is no strict regulation about ICOS this will continue and it may end up to be dead. Action must be done now before it's too late.

Maybe because a lot of ICO projects are a scam, so this ICO culture is like a dead. But there are still many good ICO projects and you have to be diligent in looking for them. The market has seen a rise and if this increase continues, I think it will have an impact on the ICO. ICO will also grow and gain more trust.

Currently, ICO still exists and many investors still make good profit from it but I'm not sure ICO culture is dead because ICO has never changed, many projects are scams and few projects is potential

ICO competition was so tight that many ICOs failed to reach the softcap, various strategies were implemented but this was not enough to make investors believe, the number of scam cases would certainly be the biggest obstacle.

ICO still alive and exist because many ICO still give higher price after listing on exchange market, just wait and invest your money on correct exchange market because will give you more profitable and keep get much money at the future.

I haven't seen a good ICO for a long time apart from those 2 IEO held on Binance launchpad. People made chunk amount of money from those project. I think following this launchpad will be a good idea. Other than thid, ICO is dead almost.

ICO's aren't completely dead, but I would say the 'culture' as you put is dead.  There are some quality projects, of course, but there was so much shit that came out of 2017 and naive people taken advantage of...and I think it is those naive people who made up this 'culture'.  Now that lessons have been learned from the past, hopefully it is only the worthy projects that get funding and support - because their value is irrefutable.

There are still many ICOs that look good and promising, Ammut is a good project and promises what we deserve to choose, I will invest around $ 200 because I'm sure AMMUT will success and reach hardcap.

Note that now gaining popularity crowdsales from Binance and in the future from many other exchanges. Based on two successful ICOs on the Binance Launchpad platform, I think that this is a new milestone in the history of ICO and we will see many interesting projects again and will be able to earn money on it.
