Bitcoin Forum

Is there any?
I'm rather new to crypto and would love to do fundamental analysis for upcoming coin releases.
Anyone know a site that is curated on a regular basis?
Much appreciated! This forum is a great place (much nicer people than on reddit).

Hi Ralf,

You can check ICObench for upcoming crowdsale. Just filter what you want to see and hit enter. They actually have a great list.

Here's the link.
ICObench (https://icobench.com/icos?filterBonus=&filterBounty=&filterMvp=&filterKyc=&filterExpert=&filterFar=&filterHot=&filterFreeTokens=&filterTokenClass=&filterSort=&filterCategory=all&filterRating=any&filterStatus=upcoming&filterPublished=&filterCountry=any&filterRegistration=0&filterExcludeArea=none&filterPlatform=any&filterCurrency=any&filterTrading=any&s=&filterStartAfter=&filterEndBefore=)
I fix the link so it will land you to upcoming icos.

Regards.

If you are looking for STO's investment opportunity then I suggest https://tokenmarket.net/

They are updated on upcoming STO but they don't have thorough review such ICObench do and Binance Token analysis but still a good place to look investment opportunity, Just be cautious and thorough on reviewing the
project background.

Thanks to the two of you! I found ICObench earlier and did like it, though wasn't sure I could trust the site. Now I know that I can as you recommended it as well.

ICOBench is full of shit. Lots of fake projects managed to gain the spotlight because 'some influencer power'. Don't trust them.

So many ICO listing websites out there however do not trust them. Money destroyed people's integrity, and they would rather mislead innocent people by listing scam ICOs and take the evil money.

ICObench for example has had history of giving high "expert ratings" to SCAM ICOs too so i would advise you to do the vetting for yourself.
You can use the websites to see upcoming ICOs but do the background checks yourself before you invest.

A quick search on the internet will lead you to many websites but I like the format done by cryptocompare for upcoming ICOs https://www.cryptocompare.com/ico/#/upcoming

There are no reviews unlike that of ICObench but who needs them anyway? It is better to form your own opinion without those fake or paid reviews.

My suggestion is that don't just go to any websites who had listed projects doing coin offerings or fundraising and take their word for it, rather you should conduct your own research and decide which project suits your preferences!

Also, most ICO rating sites have already lost their credibility and exchanges and other sites who are hosting  IEO's also have known financial motives so that they maybe biased towards a particular project. Ideally, its always better to exercise caution upon these offerings. Imho.

Yeah, all those so-called ICO ratings or review websites should be used just as simple indexers.
Especially ICObench, I've seen projects in scam accusations section with fake teams and stolen pictures and on that website the team was fully reviewed and had a max score. All those websites are doing anything for $, they will put 5 stars rating even on the crappies projects if they have enough funds to pay up. Throw a few bitcoins and nobody will bother with a real review.

OP, probably the best thing to do once you've seen an ICO and you want to be sure is to open a topic in reputation and ask members here if they don't see any red flags you might have missed.

Thanks to all of you. Sure, I don't trust any reviewer.
PS: Cryptocompare is a great site - wasn't aware of their ICO listing.

By the way, as so many knowledgeable guys hang out here :) ->
Why do they usually speak of tokens with regard to ICOs, as on https://www.cryptocompare.com/ico/#/upcoming
I get it: Usually, ICOs come with Token releases, e.g. on Ethereum. But that doesn't have to always be the case, does it?
Ethereum was also launched with an ICO and it's a coin, isn't it?
Or am I mixing things up!?!?

AFAIK, ICOs cover both tokens which are launched on an existing platform, eg an ERC-20 token or a coin which is launched with it's one platform to support other tokens. I have not come across the acronym, ITO as at yet, so I guess they can both tokens and coins can be represented interchangeably by ICO.

It is true that I no longer believe that ICObench includes a lot of IEO revenues with large funds, even though they are paid for by the project, it is better to seek direct carpentry for IEO there, compared to ICO rankings which are inefficient.

It's just a common misunderstanding in the crypto world. A token and a coin are completely different. In fact some of this offerings are supposed to be called ITOs(Initial Token Offerings) instead of being called ICOs (initial Coin Offerings) but guess what? People don't know how to differentiate them, so they end up generalizing them as ICOs.

Ethereum or Bitcoin are coins because they have their own independent infrastructures or blockchains. They also have their own software. They do not need to rely on another cryptocurrency's software or infrastructure in order to function.
Another common characteristic of coins is that they are minable.

For tokens, they don't have their own infrastructure or blockchain, so they rely on another cryptocurrency's blockchain in order to function. Also most tokens are not minable. They are usually minted out of a thin air. The biggest platform for one to create such tokens current is the Ethereum Network?blockchain. There are other blockchains now where you can create tokens from such as EOS, TRON, NEO, Waves, Stellar ect

Yes, Ethereum had an Initial Coin Offering but indead it is a coin because it has all the characteristics of a coin unlike certain tokens like DAI ,NPXS, OMG... All those token are ERC20 tokens which are built on the ethereum blockchain so they don't qualify to be coins

EOS also started off as an ERC20 token built on Ethereum blockchain when they held their token sale back in 2017, but they when ahead to build their own blockchain afterwards and then swapped their EOS tokens built on ethereum blockchain to EOS coins based on the EOS blockchain, so they are now literary coins as opposed to their earlier tokens they created for the sale.

I hope you understand.

If you google it you will find plenty of sites. Here is few sites.

1. https://icobench.com/icos
2. https://icorating.com/ieo/upcoming/
3. https://www.icohotlist.com/icos/upcoming-icos/

You can find upcoming ICO's here. But If you want to Invest in ICO/IEO/STO then don't follow there ratings. Because most of the rating is fake and they get paid for it. It will be better to make a analysis instead of trusting there rating. 

Thank you!!! This was great.

Not sure for the you are asking for but i think coinmarketcal will do it!
It really smells like alt season (especially if you read alt speculation group on this forum). I've spent last 14 days for browsing and investigating alts to invest.
BTC is definetely in hodl situation and would recommend looking into NEO, ATOM, XEM, XLM, NWC ...

Icobench doesn't guarantee that you could but the jackpot. Some of the projects they are promoting are scam projects and Icobench doesn't care about that. They are just to promote not having thorough review. So it's still on you how to determine a legit and good projects to invest with your money. I suggest, don't put it on one project only. If you put all your money to one project only and it happen to be a scam project. That's it. Free money for scammers.

ICO ranking is not guaranteed for a promising coin project in the future, but if you want to know from the ICO website then it's up to you, don't trust in ICO ranking like ICO bench for example, still you have to analyze for yourself or interact on this forum ask someone more expert.

Thats true its a paid listing website considering Icobench is one of the most popular ICO site before, some rating on that sites by the so-called ico experts are mostly paid by the project owners more details here (https://hackernoon.com/ico-bench-exposed-7d99335a63b3) if you want some trusted list of incoming and ongoing IEOs you can search on Coinmarketcap and search for exchanges that conducts ieos like for example this one: https://latoken.com/ico/ETH
