It is not easy for any new project to start IEO in good exchanges like binance, so a lot of projects start IEO with cheap exchanges with low fee for IEO,but most of this  exchanges not good.
What you prefer:
Participate in IEO even exchanges are are not good or prefer to participate in ICO as you thing project is good ?

The choices you have brought up has some circumstances, mostly will invest to an IEO now because they've just heard that it will generate profit and the ICO days are now over. So despite on how good the ICO would be, many will start to avoid investing on it because of that belief for this year. The ICO has been taken over by IEOs and investors wouldn't even have a second thought on where they will invest. As long as that is an IEO and there's an exchange to dump it, they'll invest.

Even though IEOs came unto the seen some few months ago, it has taken root as one of the successful ways of crowdfunding for any project. Also, i think once benefits of investing into an IEO is becasue of the high possibility of getting the cryptocurrency listed in a few days. most IEOs also do well when they are listed on exchanges.

Why do not you investigate coin, instead of exchange? Although IEOs in big exchanges are profitable, they cause the coins to lose value over time due to hype but if you are looking for a real project, look at what the project is. I do not disparage big exchanges, but more value leads to worse results at the end.

I prefer a good ico rather than IEO that runs in the bad exchange site is caused by a bad exchange site doesn't have very strict requirements to create cooperation to create IEO and even shitcoin can do that. That's why to buy a good ICO is much better with the possibility that has a good reputation and can be listed on the exchange site instantly too.

It is true that good concepts and strategies that will make investors interested in the products they are running are very good and accepted by investors, for the sale the IEO or ICO is the same, but for now the IEO is more dominant

Even a bad project will fail on a good exchange- after the initial hype is gone or when they fail to deliver something tangible to investors. The better approach is to focus on the merits of a  project rather than the platform where it is being launched

If you will be investing through an IEO, then I think its best to assess the quality of both the project and exchange who will be conducting it and both should met your criteria accordingly. I think most investors would not prefer lesser known exchanges due to their lack of credibility and most of these investors are even doubtful to these unpopular exchanges thinking that they are doing IEO's of projects with lesser quality just for monetary considerations alone regardless of what negative effects it might bring to its stakeholders. Additionally,doing our own research on what projects to invest will be our best tool protect our capital even if we choose to invest in an ICO or an IEO respectively.

i still participate in ICO token sales if the project is very good and i participate in IEOs from popular exchanges as well,i think its all about the project,if the project have a good use case i wont mind investing in either its ICO or IEO, from popular exchanges or not what its important to me is quality of the project.

I will rather invest in IEO projects from binance or other top exchanges than not popular exchanges,and i will always chose IEO over ICO because ive been scammed by too many ICO projects

This time i participated in ferrum ico and i don't care about IEO that run in the unreputable exchange site because they are all craps. I can say there was a lot of good IC which is much better than crap ico that partnered with crap exchange site. Invest in the trusted ICO is better than wasting your money in the unreputable IEO and exchange site and it's the same as you are investing your money in the scam ico consider unreputable exchange site will never try to create validation for ico that wanna be listed at that crap exchange site.

We don't have to invest based on the exchanges the good project may be found whether the exchanges small are big but we need to have enough knowledge about the project we are currently invoice to expect profit from that kind of investment simply following the crowd will get us to be in loss.

I prefer to investing in good ICO rather than IEO on the exchange that i don't know about.
Good ICO means, it is real and can be proved not a scam project, and the team is transparent.

If you want to invest in a gift project be it ICO or IEO, make sure that they are legitimate projects. who have a road map with a transparent team, but if you choose the IEO I think you better choose the IEO that has been listed on a large exchange like BINANCE. because many IEO projects succeed there

The OP message could be misleading. Not listing on big exchanges because u cant afford doesn't make the project bad. Some projects have the money but wont list on big volume exchange. we will soon see the downturn of IEO when the confidence and money is available for investment. Most of the project listed are enduring the pump and dump while still far behind in the roadmap. Exchanges are making more of the profit from IEO that the project itself.

if there are only two choices, I will not choose it. now investing in a new project must be truly selective or you will lose. IEO on less popular exchanges or ICO, this is a choice that doesn't have to be chosen. it's better not to invest because I know what will happen later.

When exchange that manage tho token sale is not reputable, it could cause more harm than good.
Good example is CMA token sale on Vindax, Vindax cheated CMA for a lot of money.  ::)

The good and bad of the IEO at the Launchpad exchange, do not depend on the bad or good exchange launchpad, but also the ability of developers to build cooperation with investors and the ability to build projects in IEO, IEO and ICO are not much different, when they are looking for funds for development, they sell their tokens at low prices.

You know what they say,,, go big or go home. If your project is just a mere ICO with no product and nothing to deliver, you might as well work hard to get it good enough for IEO,,, it does not matter if you eventually are accepted or not,,, it matters that your project became stronger and more technically able to make it on a IEO platform. You win even if you lose.

If you wanna invest in any ICO or IEO, everything has to be good. The top exchanges have good volume. That's why most investors like to go with top exchanges IEO. The exchanges are not the only thing, because we have to do your own research about the project, team, future updates etc.

Only invest in the IEO at this time. In addition, you need to choose a good exchange so you can invest in the IEO. Otherwise it is like ICO and you will lose your investment, Don't be too greedy to make a profit from the IEO

I plain refuse to use sub-par exchanges, even if that mean that I'm missing out on something.
It's likely going to cause trouble in the future, once you start using sketchy exchanges, you're more likely to do so in the future.

Then, when you least expect it, the exchange goes down or holds your funds hostage.

In this case, I look at the project first. If I believe the project is good, then I prefer ICO. Because for me a project needs to have a good team to be good. And that's why I think that after the ICO, there will be no problems sending tokens. But if i did not trust so much that project, then I wouldn't prefer two options too.

Well there are many criteria that need to be fulfilled in order for me to invest in a new project. These criteria varied depending on the mode of launching the project.
If it's an IEO then I would surely consider the reputation of the exchange, although it wouldn't matter much if the project is truly worth it.
If it's an ICO then the project should really be good, it's vision should be vast and achievable and the team behind the project should definitely be hardworking and known developers.

It is difficult choice indeed and if supose can i want to invest at both and get decent profit from them but for me personally invest at ICO or IEO is not so different as long those projects legit then it would be fine for me and regarding the pool option i think i might be to choose option 1 because i do not dare to invest at IEO which is held by bad exchange as you says and it's risky for me

I think everything depends on the project. But now almost all projects use the IEO scheme for the sale of tokens because ICO has begun to be unpopular. If I am required to participate, I would prefer to take part in IEO in a small exchanger because the funds generated from the sale of tokens are held by the exchanger and not in the developer team so that it is unlikely that a project will become a scam, even though later when listing there is a chance the price falls below the IEO price

It doesn't really matter. If a good project using a good exchange for it's IEO then I think it will make it much more legit then just an ICO. It will be backed by an exchange so trading can happen immediately.
I for one will look forward to these IEO and how they are run and how they will affect us and the bounties.

Investing in IEO seems to be an easy and fast profits. Investors are not anymore patiently waiting for the product but they want a profit instantly. If you don't care with the project, IEO is good to be an investment yet if you want a product there are still ICO that are working with that. The tendency of other IEO which has investors that only search for an instant gains will easily decline once they knew that they have profit at all.

I would prefer to invest in ICO if the project is good, because if I buy in IEO but the exchange is bad I am worried that they will have problems with the exchange

I would choose to invest on an IEO over an ICO on any given time of the day, unless its a super good project with a big guy with a lot of influence that is conducting an ICO. IEO provides liquidity to its investors but is quite exclusive and always have risks. A new offering which is an evolved IEO (https://steemit.com/blockchain/@hatu/binance-s-next-ieo-evidences-the-superiority-of-stp-s-micro-token-offerings?utm_source=lx3) are somehow mitigating those issues and provides a lottery-based system for you to win. Regardless, everything has a risk and we just need to play it smart.

ICO is not recommended anymore because of the length of time they held their crowdfunding and listed their coin in exchange, sometimes it takes a year like what happened to Adab, IEO is preferable because it is fast but I still prefer it even if it is held in a small exchange as long as they can make a good promotion, it will become a successful project.

IEO is suppose to be an improved form of ICO, ICO do a lot of shady deals, can even conceal fund. Recently Bitbond conducted an STO through public crowdfunding, till date, they are yet to accurately release the total amount raised. Some ICO who collected money since last year are yet to get listed on exchanges blaming the bad market for their failure.

Yes, many small exchanges(probit, Idax, LaToken) running IEO right now and most of project not getting much stability after the project i saw many projects which hard dumped after successful IEO, i really hard to choose which is better ICO or IEO, iCO needs a strong project,many ICOs exit exams in recent months.
IEO Is helpful and profitable if it's conducted by well reputed and contracted exchanges.

What should be the driving force here is the state of the project, either IEO or ICO, it doesn't matter if the project is good.

Small exchangers only follow the IEO trend. Big investors will certainly choose the IEO held by a large exchanger because it promises a good project and also a large transaction value. But compared to ICO, IEO in small exchangers is still better because ultimately investors want listing in the market

I myself prefer IEO over ICO yes we really need to find projects that are really active in development,

As Ferrum Network does not have IEO, but a successful ICO sale within 1 hour means that there are still people who believe in ICO.

The most important thing to consider in participating in any investment scheme is the project itself, because that is what can sustain and secure your investment, whether IEO or ICO, if the project is not safe, there is no way that one can have a guaranteed investment future.

So, I think that I would rather participate in a project that has a real use case even if it is done through ICO than to participate in IEO projects on exchange that are not reliable, because if you participate in exchanges that are not reliable, there is a chance that the project itself is not going to be a good one, or the exchange will end up scamming you on your tokens. So we should not look at the IEO but the project, even if a project is registered as IEO on a reliable exchange, there is still need to do thorough research before making any investment in it.

most are risky but if you are lucky maybe you can get instant roi it's just that it's rare because most of the projects that they fail, even scams I suggest caution if you want to try it

That's because the FERRUM project is really good and it is invested by many big investment funds. Also this ICO hardcap is only about $ 1 million. Very small, besides this project is about to be listed in a few large exchanges. It can be said that this is a good project without ICO.

The situation with these IEOs is still very vague. It seems that this is just a reflection of old ICOs. Yes, here, we feel a kind of protection: the exchanges guarantee us that the project is not a scam. However, can you really trust these exchanges? I insist on staying away from investments in these projects until they prove their reliability and safety.

I don't know if there is some people who choose an ICO for their investment place since there is a lot of news who told that most ICO project was scam and investor must be aware of it. And IEO project came who offer a comfortable feeling for investor new project when store their money.

In your question I'll choose investment in IEO although the IEO project held by an exchange who still have a little of user but the exchange have the credibility as reputable exchange. In my country there is several exchange who offer an IEO project and I enter to invest on it and so far I still got a profit from it.

I prefer to participate in IEO in the exchanges, but the exchange should be popular exchange and have reputations like binance, bittrex, and poloniex. If the IEO is on the small exchanges which are not good, then I don't want to participate because it's too risky, we don't know what will happen later. Besides that, I heard that some IEO could not get their success in the small exchanges because that is not working to reach more investor in their project. But the decision is up to you.

I am not concerned if the project uses IEO or ICO, but the most important is whether the project is good or not, so if I think the project is good and is suitable for investment, then I will definitely invest in the project even if the project uses ICO, but if the project uses IEO then I still invest in the project even though if the project uses a not good exchange, so I think the most important thing for me is the project that I want to invest.

It's obviously true that not all new IEO oriented project can afford to run that IEO on a top exchange due to the hefty requirements but I think everyone should pay more attention to the project itself rather than focus on the exchange hosting the IEO.

Invest in good projects regardless they are running an ICO or IEO. There are many promising projects doing ICOs and many shitty projects running IEOs in low tier exchanges. The quality of the project itself is the most important factor to decide whether we invest in this project or avoid it.

for me IEO and ICO is just a token sales mechanism, the more important is how the Project is done and developed.
Because even if doing IEO on a large Exchange but the project is poorly developed, the results will also not good,
but vice versa, even if IEO is implemented on a small Exchange but the project was done and developed well, I'm sure the results will be good too

Before making my choice I think poll options are badly phrased!

If you look at the options available there is some misinformation, afaik most if not all when they are holding an ICO at this stage the exchange isn't known if it were then it's no different from an IEO and should be called an IEO as well..

It's not so important cuz. If the project is cool enough i will invest in ico or ieo period. If i dont know much more about project, i will choose ieo which launch honest exchanges. If it not trustable exchange and i dont know about much things about project, i will not invest!

Investing in the IEO doesn't make any divergence than investing in the IEO and following the crowd always lead to adverse circumstances. My main concern is not about the good or bad exchange if there is no real product by the project management. Altcoins are not going to make me rich, so my preference will be on the best performing side of the market.
