Bitcoin Forum

Hello guys !
I was just looking around and theres so many garbage repost websites outthere about different ICOs.  I wanted to know if theres one that you know doesn't present every idea as great. A very critical good Review site that tends to get it right you know. anyway thanks appreciate your input.

There are many that were supposed to do that. Icostats, icodrops, etc... However, all of them receive money to give good reviews to shit projects.
And, even if they didn't charge at all, who are those idiots giving reviews? They are just random guys from the internet giving investment advice.

If you want an advice, I can give one for free. Do your own research.
I did mine. I know a good project to invest. Only one: Bitcoin.

The cryptosphere has been flooded with so many scam sites who only care about shilling projects for their own gains. Ideally these sites were supposed to get crypto enthusiast well informed about blockchain projects but they rather throw dust in the eyes of the community. However, i found a website lately which i think give's their fair view about crypto projects. You can look it up over here: https://cryptoadventure.org/ they have great services off which you can make use of in case you want to launch your project.

Today's ICO websites that provide information for today's trustworthy new ICOs should no longer be trusted. Because they are all part of scam campaigns and they are getting paid to list their fake # 1 ICOs.
So its is best that we become aware of these campaigns and not rely on ico websites as they will only bring us into risk.

There's a lot of ico review sites like icodrops which you can see upcoming, running, and ended ico.
But it is not advisable to rely on ico review sites when looking for a project, you can search there to see the upcoming or the running projects, but even in popular websites it is not reliable enough and cannot confirm the legitimacy of the project.
As long as the project pays for the ads, their project name will be posted even if they turn out to be a scam project in the end.

I make use of ico drops when am browsing about initial coin offering in the web but on social media take for example telegram I have ico manager that introduces new and useful ico to me

I use icobench for research to know which one good ICO site, I always check with icobench for each ICO investing have good quality, I can check how trusting score on icobench with ICO project and check their social media platform to know how many people are joining and following their media social, I have seen with many site to know which one good ICO review and only icobench best good score rating.

in the last few years I was less interested in the ICO project that was launched because some of their projects now only provide false hopes that ultimately make us disappointed and disadvantaged like the previous ICO project, usually I used to look for information about good ico in the telegram management group that they always give us a great ico project and there are lots of websites like that that you can visit.

most of ICOs web site rating they takes money to gives good rate of your ICO, as much you pay, as much you get high rank, try to search for free one.

Many people don't believe in ICO ranking sites there are a lot of ranking manipulations according to their needs so it can't be relied on as good ICO reviews. I don't believe and are inaccurate.
Investigating yourself is better than having to rely on an inaccurate ico site.

I mostly used ICOBench but I don’t depend on that because I’ve read before that most of the ICO review sites are being paid and they make a falls review on some projects. I still suggest to made your own analysis and review before you invest, remember that ICO is not profitable right now so take care on investing.

Make your own review, most ICO review sites are paid for reviews. Do not be independent on other site reviews. You can make it as a reference but do not depend solely on it. Take time to do your own homework.

here is a thread for bitcoin discussion, You can create threads in the services section, most review makers are giving good reviews about ICO because they are paid, for now it is very difficult to find a good ICO, after all now ICO projects are rarely in demand.

True ICObench I only see for a while and the rest we ourselves are analyzing, looking for projects that invest do not rely on the ico rating it will not be efficient better looking for information or asking more experts it will facilitate the OP to find the right project.

Indeed we can't easily trust them particularly these days that there are a lot of people getting scammed, you can't easily tell if its a scam or not because of their sweet lies and that is how they deceive others, they are trying to make them believe on something impossible well some of us falls into it because of lack of knowledge. Its true that you shouldn't rely on them unless you've done your own research and see different information and details about it. We should be cautious and be a good observer so we won't end up feeling remorse about our decision.

Just forget about those ICO ranking sites they are biased and gives good rating for even scam projects and doing our own research will be advisable as these sites cannot be trusted anymore as there are numerous sites out there in the market. I have personally been part of some bounties which were rated good by these sites which turned out to be scam.  

I won't recommend them too, they are truly should not trusted at all, during ICO, many investors rely on them thinking that those sites were giving accurate and legit reviews, but afterwards, people found out that those advisors there who were giving review are also paid one, and if you didn't pay them, they will give you negative feedback.

Unfortunately, but probably all ICO review services are not reliable because they charge for listing on their website. I have not come across such a free service yet, and only then we could trust it.
I know that there are groups discussing ICO projects on the telegram, and people do it individually - I think that this type of analysis is the most reliable, unless someone can do it by himself.

That's right some of the ICO review sites are totally biased because some of them received some payment on a certain project. I always see different ICO review but not all of them are true and reliable. Maybe it is better to make your own research than based on the ICO review because it is totally risky if you keep on relying on their reviews. Lastly, do not risk your money by just relying on ICO review sites and I guess it is not totally helpful to use ICO review sites.

know that you can also consider some review site as garbage since you'll not be needing them. Use this forum discussion and resarch were you can potentially invest, you'll see if there are reports of scam if ever they have. But since you're a newbie then better invest in bitcoin or altcoins that already have product. Investing in ICO or new projects requires time and too deep study.

I bet if you will get any authentic rating site that is 100% correct without being influenced, ico rating sites used to be the go to of every investors but not anymore,  sorry I can't recommend any to you because I myself not sure if they are 100% right,
Some advice, don't rely on the information provided by any rating sites alone, do more research.

I really like to check information at ANN and Bounty campaign on this set. While if you asking for out of this site, you can try ICOdrops. By the way, all the projects, you will need to go deep to check their whitepaper first, then team, and many areas to make sure that it is a good project to be invtested.

At the moment, I can't find a good ICO rating platform, lots of well-rated scam projects, shitcoin and scams. In order to get a good review, ICO projects paid for that evaluation platform, which happens often. You can find out and make your own judgment, through the opinions discussed in the community!

I have been thinking and using ICOBench since 2018, this is my mistake, after their good and great reviews, 5 *, I lost a great amount of money. There are more than 95% of projects rated as shitcoin. ICO is really dead.

I use icobench and icodrops but only to know about upcoming projects, i do not make decision like investing just because of the ratings because i know they are not true, many well rated projects paid to get the ranks so be careful

Ico rating websites are all liars and you must not rely on their ratings, new projects of today needs investors by all means so they always pay good money to rating websites for high rank, be wise

Maybe you got your answer. But i want to add one thing.in crypto world don't believe anyone even if he is an expert.try to make own research. Because many ico with 5* review turned to scam.few big investors supported like mcafee..but that project turned to scam.              

I found one site that seems to have a good track record and doesn't list too many ICOs called topicolist. I've been reading the white papers for a lot of them and they certainly peek my interest but the reviews on there were a little lackluster. anyway thanks for all the replies. I of course always look to my own research when looking into investments just wanted a place that narrowed down my view a little, theres so much trash out there you know. Thanks for all the replies tho read every one.

You should not trust it and as a benchmark for assessing a project, in my opinion all of these sites are not accurate in entering data from each project.

All projects, good or bad, are seen there and both have pretty good ratings, although most are scam projects, maybe they only care about visitor traffic

I have not seen any good ICO, IEO review sites lately. There are too many shitcoin listed to be rated well on famous ICO evaluation platforms such as ICObench, ICOdrop, etc.These reviews are for reference only, you should search for information and rate it yourself. exactly.

There are many websites that review ICOs but most of them are unreliable, some sites receive ICO money and give trash reviews. I have seen hundreds of ICOs rated 5 stars but failed miserably.
The golden age of ICOs has gone through and now investing in ICOs is not appreciated, if you intend to invest in an ICO, make your own announcement, do not invest based on the advice of anyone.

They were many ICO's that were supposed to do that. Icostats, icodrops, etc... However, all of them receive money to give good reviews to shit projects,If you want an advice, I can give one for free. Do your own research.
I did mine. I know a good project to invest. Only one: Bitcoin.

I believed that almost all ICO's rating site are being payed for their ratings. Reading their ICO's evaluation do help in getting a little idea of what the project offer. After that, you can then do more of your own research to confirm how true it is. Bear it in mind that it do take years before you can see good returns of profits in ICO's project. It's preferable now to invest in bitcoin, XRP or ethereum

not all mate . i know a friend blogger that has a site but he didnt recieve any offer from those ico that he lists and review . he just want to add some contents and make  his site a crypto related one  . i think other ico rating site were the same in which they dont also get paid but they only want to drive traffic on thier site and they can earn that way    .


years ? that seem to long but i know some ico on the past that got pumped pretty easy in a short amount of time span  . not good projects are the ones that takes years to improve  .

I don't think icobench is a good website, because they are websites that are paid to give good rating to an ICO project, and this is very dangerous
I think it's better to do your own research than to rely on an ICO Rating website

The current market for cryptocurrencies is very sluggish, and some ICO evaluation websites do not rate the project very accurately. To understand that a project can be investigated in many ways, don't rely on the score of the evaluation site.

ICO rating sites had never been an accurate one.Back into into the past where these review sites do still give out honest feedback and view
and then ICO booms then these places had become worst yet even scam project can pay them out just to list out those scammy projects
which do really lead investors into harm thats why i never ever trust  up any review sites before when i do tend to make some investments.

I have found none anymore. There used to be some but it appears that, with 99% of new projects failing, there are no more good reviews that should be read. Good reviews are now misleading statements and articles about projects that will still fail sooner or later.

actually there is many ICO rating website that got paid to make a good review on their ICO
so with this i never trust any ICO rating website and i just do my own research

Not "many", ALL. Each and every ICO review or aggregator site thrives on the money it gets from promoting those ICOs. They are group of people similar to HYIP promoters and they even ask for premium money to be paid to get a project listed on the front page. These PR firms are nothing but scammers who have learnt how to run a scam in the name of a business. Fact is that you cannot brand them as scam since they are only promoting the projects or barely listing them in one place.

Do your own research and if you are in doubt invest in bitcoin only.

They may not be branded as scam because they are not the ones who are directly involved in the project but what do you call a person who promotes a scam? He is still a scammer in my idea. That is no different from a site. A site that promotes a scam is a scammer. It is a scammer because it is inviting people to invest in a project by providing high ratings when in fact the projects are mere shit projects.

Are we not talking about the same thing? :D

Truly, I follow that path. However these sites and their spokesperson get butthurt when you say this and so they have to take the diplomatic corporate attitude saying that they uphold projects for their genuineness and blah blah blah. Whether one turns a blanket scam is least of their headaches. They never asked you to invest in the project, it was the investor on whom the fault lies.

Now that is a good statement. When they are taking money to make a project premium, that project has money to spend, meaning it is less likely to be scam, but does not rule out the probability of scam completely.

The only thing that I conclude with this is that one should do their own research before investing and take the consequences of doing so.

There is really not one and I don't recommend that you look in this review sites for finding a legit project, they are not an independent reviewer and they are proven to received money even from dubious projects, they give it a good review and they give bad reviews to a project with good potential, ask investors not ICO rating sites, or even believe in them.

Main issues on where these Reviews sites are into where they do get that money or bribe to make those scam projects looks real and suggesting to the public that it is a good one.Long time ago where i do already lost up trust into these sites and in fact there were already lots of them and i only knew about ICObench and ICOrating but these places turns out to be a shit when they get involved to these issues.
So i wont recommend any single one of them.

If there's an independent ICO review sites that do not accept money or there is an option for premium review I will subscribe to that, I remember finding on ICO review site they do not offer premium review on their page but they offer it personally via pm, I just found this out and I never trusted any ICO review site from then on.

Independent is every site. Who is even dependent? And dependent on whom anyway? Premium is something that every ICO aggregator site is asking for. They all start off like good boy not asking anything and then gradually go to that direction to make good amounts of money. You have to understand that the people running these sites have to get paid, but they choose the quick and easy methods to earn. This is a continuous cycle because once a site goes downhill people move to another site which follows suit and people move to another site and so on.

They asked money in private? You should have shared in here and it would been an amusing thread for sure. ;D

I don't know of any because they are all the same all trash, and they just here for the money that these scammers will pa there, it's hard to set up an independent one without accepting bribes from those who want positive reviews, the temptation is hard to resist for these ICO reviewers.

Sad but this is the truth that's why ICO rating sites now are totally trash or not reliable because on what they have become.They do accept money from projects and feature it out into their site where it do leads thousands of investor luring into a scam project.They don't care if their readers do get scammed as long they had been paid up.For now I don't even know if these sites are still alive or not because gone are the days that these review sites are still trustable but when money get involved then these good boys turns into evil.

Not all investors are that foolish though. The majority who end up buying these coins are newbies who dont know about risk management and are completely new to this market.

And they would never be accused of scam because of the lack of evidence and the blanket cover that they are just listing the sites but not asking anybody to invest. Whoever invests does so at their own risk.

They are pretty much running, anybody can start a new one with a good web developer and keep it going but the ICO market has gone down with it. It would be great if they would actually do something useful but they dont.

Don't look far, everything is tackled here,  you don't need a review site where reviews are coming from one or two guy, you can read all the opinions here and compare each opinion, it's better to have a lot of people looking on a subject and giving their opinion and prediction, and besides people here are free and more independent than all these rating sites.

Not only that the opinion of more people is better than the opinion of two or three "experts". The main difference is that nobody pays us here for it. I do not know the service that make ICO projects reviews that would not charge fees. So if project pays for listing and review in my opinion they are not credible in principle.
