What are some of the best places you can think to hold ICOs, that provide both the investor and the project manager security from fraud, scams so on and so forth?

ICOs? ICOs are dead.  :D Or you mean IEO? 'cause if you mean IEO then the best place to do that would be on Binance.
Why? It is the most popular cryptocurrency exchange, good trading volume, and any shill post of a project connected to Binance will surely get more attention to it.
But, getting listed on that exchange is very, very difficult to achieve. The project needs to very good for them to even consider listing it.
So if you have plans on doing that, good luck.  ;D

The best answer should be to create cooperation with the exchange site to hold or manage your ico. That provides more guarantee to the investors to avoid the fraud project. Just try to tell you some projects we're doing their ICO on the IEO platform like binance, kucoin and many more. This is a very effective way to protect both parties from fraud. As long as you are not listing your ICO on the crap exchange site and that will give you more guarantee.

Yea probably not binance I think that would be overkill personally. So would a ICO build more value into the coin you think?

I was thinking maybe like an EBay or another ecommerce platform that would help both parties minimize scams and fraud. Any thoughts?

There is no best ICO place at the moment. Many scams occur with the initial ICO offer, so don't expect a place to hold an ICO for investors.
At the time of the ICO and IEO offers do not guarantee the price after the exchange is still in place so you must be careful when buying coins at the time of sale.
The better that is available on the exchange it will be safer.

eBay's a terrible place to offer digital goods in general for a bunch of reasons, and so is PayPal, which is still closely related with eBay even after they split a few months back or something of that nature. PayPal's also a very popular method of payment on eBay that people love to chargeback and dispute transactions with, and as the seller or person offering a service you're often unable to fight disputes effectively even with evidence, especially for digital items, not to mention that PayPal's very much against crypto-related transactions.

ICOs are still best held on reputable exchanges IMO, since exchanges are naturally the place that people go to for crypto-related trade, and most exchanges obviously have good terms and conditions for crypto-related buying and selling.

Also i think Bitify would be a good option, any other Crypto friendly ecommerce sites?

ICO or IEO, scam, i think 3rd party or escrow already enough. What  main problem is developer who not develop their project so their tokens dumped in market. That is what make investor lose, about scam or run with investor's money i think escrow is already enough. But after sales end, developer will have full control with our money.

I think no platform holding ICOs nowadays and maybe if there is it would be called IEO. But this is conducted on exchange platform not another one for solely ICOs alone. If you want to avoid frauds and scams, then go for huge exchange platform such as Binance, Kucoin, Gate, Okex, and Huobi. These five are known for their reputation if there are new projects. But lately, they arent launching new ones, since SEC warned people about the risk on investing on these IEO projects.

If you mean IEO's for your project then you can partner with big exchanges out there so you can assure that you can gather a good amount of response from investors and to the supporters, make sure that you strengthen your marketing plans like offering a good bounty allocations for your supporters and etc.

You can check the top 5 exchanges for IEO's, at first is the binance exchange and you can check whatever their requirements if you like to launch your project in their launchpad or if you cannot reach their requirements then you can go the 2nd or until the fifth. But if you plan to launch first an ICO before launching an IEO, it's up to you and I hope you can successfully launch your project especially if your project is very useful to the crypto society.

Binance is the best places to hold cryptocurrency because this is the top exchanges in cryptocurrency right now if token is listed in. But you considered the kinds of token that you have, we will have too many scrap token, token that not yet be listed in any crypto exchanges. Be watch out of the scam or spam.
For the the legit token don't be sale in low prices you must keep and hold wait for the good market prices.

it is indeed a good idea however it can only minimize the fraud and scam project but its still there and cannot be destroyed by having it so in the end it will be the same journey as we experience right now.
The best thing is only invest on a project that they can make thier  own developement even without the help of investors , and only those who believe from them can only earn big from that project.

Has anyone here invested in any projects as an IEO or ICO?

I has invested in some IEOs on binance exchange site and just got nice result from my investment. Remember this people wanna putting their money on your project when you can create a partnership with good IEO. for the more information about that and you should visit cryptorank to get IEO return and which exchange site that has launched them all.

Right so investments on an IEO, how would that work? Could you list the step by steps, structure so on and so forth.

in ICO i invested before any reason why are you asking?
actually more of the member here experience to invested in ICO, its only stop when they see that it is not going to work and many big project failed to give them what investors think they can get if many people invested.
If you plan to invest i suggest not to do it the market of crowdsale is not good at this moment and you will just lost your money.

what does it mean to hold back? so far, ICO has different places and projects, so you can't just hold it in. besides that, ICO doesn't have much trust anymore. if you want to ask about sales, maybe the one closest to your question is, "where is the best selling place for IEO?" it is better than asking about ICO which is now almost abandoned.

Well I'm trying to see where people would feel most comfortable in investing at.

The presence of IEO cannot make us feel comfortable in investing. Investors no longer believed in the ICO project so IEO was born. But at this time the IEO project is the same as the ICO project where there are many scams or worthless when entering the market. I agree with you that for better buy token/coin available on the Exchange.

That's an interesting idea but how many people are on this forum?

But it doesn't offer the credibility of a built in escrow service which somewhat dampers the reputation of it being credible.

are you sure about that? ICO is dead? then is IEO really alive? if yes, prove one of the strongest of it. if the topic is a good place for ICO or IEO, then it's not just binance. many larger ones first, such as forkdelta or etherdelta. but if it is still in the ico stage, unfortunately there are only these websites and token have not been launched to any market exchange. then what are your points ??

Registered with the government but then again what the feds do in a shity regulated ICOs gone wrong is give the owners a jail time which doesn't bring back investors funds most times. To me there's no better place that ensures security for investors and owners what gives security which is not ensured is does the project have a working product?

ICOs are no more mate and ICO can't be launched on exchange, if you want to use ICO to raise fund it will be managed by project owner or team themselves, believe me you will end up with worse results because investors wont invest on ICO

if you save all the results of Initial Coin Offerings in an exchange such as Binance it will not be safe because not all ICO results can enter the Binance exchange place, so it is better you can save all the results of ICO in Myetherwallet which in my opinion is a wallet to store all erc20 assets the safest.

What about airdrops? Do investors like airdrops?

If I’m talking about a product before it is released, then I think it’s better not to buy it. Because almost all coins lose their value after entering the market. So it is better to wait for the end of IEO and ICO and buy already on exchanges that have established themselves. Top 10 is on the forum.

In my opinion, the best place for selling new tokens is through exchangers, especially exchangers who already have a reputation for investors. Many investors still feel that ICO is not a safe place to invest because of the many scams that have occurred in recent years

It is true that we see that many ICO projects end in failure and some of them have no value when they enter into exchange. And sometimes developers enter their tokens into bad exchanges or it can be said that exchanges that don't have a good reputation will certainly end up with no value and holding the tokens will only end in vain.

Very sad, what would build a better project getting investors to invest or doing airdrops?

Crowdfunding in general should be held in a reputable platform.  At least on that reputable platform, they do project background check and the legitimacy of the project.  One that I known is Binance, kucoin, huobi though I can say not all that chooses those exchange platform for their crowdfunding are successful.

when they put the token at the exchange place with a bad reputation they already work together the CEO will not provide support to the price of the token and the cost is very cheap with very easy requirements whereas if you want to register at a large exchange place like Binance or others requires a fee very expensive and difficult requirements.

ICO are dead nowadays and I dont think there will be investors investing in ICO as most of them turns into scam or turns worthless when it comes to exchange. If you are referring to Initial exchange Offering which is the trend today then the best exchange for IEO's are Binance, Kucoin, Huobi, Gate and Okex. Don't invest on the IEO that launched on cheap or new exchange, you will lose your investments.

Airdrops are good. But how do you expect the promoters to gain cash from such practices? Airdrops are usually done, so that a struggling project can get an increase in userbase, acceptance and adoption. But normally this is being done for already listed projects and not for the fresh projects. If they do airdrops for fresh projects, then how the promoters will be able to cover the development costs?

That's a good point, so what would be the most applicable for building value into a project?

If you are talking about IEO then I can say Latoken,Binance,Bittrex,Kucoin are the best places to hold IEO. They are already popular specially Latoken is very popular for IEO right now as I can see.

An e-commerce-like platform for ICO? Sounds weird to me. Nobody talks about ICOs anymore. No good project right now will launch an ICO when there is a better alternative, IEO. Talking about security for both investors and team members, the team should go for reputable exchanges even with their tight terms and conditions, rather than going for crappie exchanges.

Yes. Is it, recently, have you seen any startups or projects running an Initial coin offering having some success on their sales? No. You know why? Because people nowadays have better knowledge than the old days.
IEOs are far better since it is a guarantee that a project running an IEO would surely get listed on that specific exchange, regardless of how shitty that exchange is, trading of that tokens would surely happen and it would surely have some value. Of course there's still a chance that the value of the token/coin would decrease but that's entirely out of this discussion.

Are you seriously suggesting running an IEO on those DEXs? LMAO Have you seen how low their volume is and how easily the prices can be manipulated?
By my experience, only scam and shitty projects tend to do their IEOs on decentralized exchanges.
Why? because they could easily get listed, no background checks, no fees, no accountability from the project team itself and that on its entirety is bad towards any investors.

What are you talking about, none of these commercial platform will take the risk to accommodate any scam projects and if these big corporate companies wants to come up with a business they do not need to collect money in that name as they have the funds to accommodate and experiment any projects they want. The biggest problem is always the idea of making quick money by these developers which should end.

I don't invest for long now in not known projects, even in new projects. It's good to give them chance but how about us when we got scam easily. I prefer to buy them once they are making sound in the market and doing well. ICO and IEO is no longer effective but I hope those projects that are really legit will be given a chance to make it long in the market.

Some comrades who are here start to put aside the issue of ICO, it is true that ICO has weakened, who knows how long the ICO will continue like this, maybe it's time for IEO. Binance surprised all of us with various offers. Plus the security and comfort provided in each project makes us more confident that IEO is the right choice, while waiting for the ICO to show its charm again.

Why would binance be an overkill?

Its exactly where you should be doing it or to the likes of it such as Gate.io or Kucoin. You don't wanna do it on some inferior exchange which has tons of scam accusations because your team's reputation will also be at risk if you do that. I have no idea what and how much binance will ask to partner with a team though.

I also did not quite understand the question)) But Binance is also expensive and of high quality. Maybe mrquackquack is interested in order to choose cheaper. And here you are welcome to different projects like https://bq.net/, there you can conduct an IEO type like a CIPX project to pump it up twice and then fix the price collapse from 0.004 USDT to 0.0000023 USDT
https://bq.net/trade/CIPX-USDT

If your project is good you don't need crappy exchange like centralized binance. Don't they ask KYC? A good project can use any method of distribution and still do well. Only a total and complete moron will choose a project based on where it is listed or by the method of distribution. I do agree that having an IEO on an exchange is a good idea but if the project is that good it won't matter and it will eventually be listed.



Why? Do you just say whatever you thinking as you think it? If you look at crowdfunding it works well.

Seriously, it doesn't matter if it's a private sale or ieo or what every you want to call it, that's not the important part.
People want to invest into the projects, the way that offerings happen is secondary.
Write an announcement and a white paper, do your research and tell us what do you want to sell, what does that solve and what's your plan.

There is no need to hold ICO anywhere. You planning to issue a token just announce ICO and raise money. If you are talking about IEO, there are many good exchanges to launch it. Good exchanges are needed to launch IEO even if your project is good and innovative. Launching on Latoken, p2pb2b, may prove to be a bad decision.

Thanks for the comments.

Binance IEO should be a wise choice if you want to invest in a project. It has proven over a long time that Binance is strict on approving projects and is one of the great platforms that offer the IEO system. The initial coin offering today is fading or almost dead because investors are choosing the IEO investment than ICO.

Always be wise on the exchange cause not every IEO investment is good, There are many IEO who is failing with their plans. Better invest in the highest probability of success.

IEO is the answer you seeking for, the only thing that stands between dev and investors is exchanges that's launching the fundraising, i suggest only top exchanges to avoid bad results, do not use dex exchanges or new exchanges, this is the only bad side of IEO fundraising, if you choose new exchange you won't raise anything

You should do some research on old projects that raise funds through exchanges, those who come out with good results are from top exchanges, here are lists of good exchanges for raising fund
1) binance
2) gate.io
3) Okex
4) Kucoin

I still favor the ICO better than the IEO.

Maybe are you referring to IEO (Initial Exchange Offering) because ICO's day are gone. The safest way to conduct an IEO is Binance but it as hard to launch an IEO there but if you're confident that your project is good why not there is no harm on trying. Look for top exchanges that conduct an IEO that's should be decent but of course, always review exchange reputation; https://www.coingecko.com/en/exchanges

Binance exchange is not the only option, there are many other good top exchanges that have shown their capabilities with old IEO projects for example gate.io, any top exchange is good, the fact is top exchanges have trusted investors because of their high trading volume/liquidity

Well in my opinion I think binance for most people is complete overkill and out of the question.

Bro, can you just stop with your incessant questions about an ICO? It seems like you're trying to start up your own project, but have absolutely no idea what you're doing or any plan to get there.

Instead, you're just crowdsourcing information from a community, most of which know even less than you and are simply spamming to increase their post count....

How about you actually hire a blockchain or ICO consultancy and ask all of these questions to them. If you can't afford to do that, then expect failure.

I'm already sure whatever you produce is destined for failure just by how little effort you're actually putting into this.

How long have you been there D?

I think the best place to hold IEO is in a reputable exchange, although not all the exchanges are good for IEO whether reputable or not. Also, those project will have to do their advertisement.

The more I read and hear about it I think an IEO is completely out of the question. No offense I think its a good idea to bring some sort of credibility to the project and maybe some sort of trust for investors but I still think there are better ways.

Why not consider IEO, because ico can be held anywhere and it is always hold on the project official site meaning the company has full control over the ico unlike IEO.

I think you are thinking about IEO. The best place to hold a token sale is one of the top ten exchanges, especially Binance, Huobi, Kucoin or Gate.io. The most projects, that sold their tokens on that exchanges made good profit.

If I had any chance to create my own coin in anyway or shape one day, I would honestly give it for free on PoW and not do anything myself. Maybe new people do not remember those days but back in the day if there was a coin to be created they would just release the wallet and let people mine it to have it instead of giving it away instead of ethereum or bnb or anything, the owners and creators didn't made any money from it, there wasn't premined or anything.

Nowadays all coins are fully premined and given away in exchange of money for it and I dislike the current system. Just make a coin, release the wallet and let people use it however they want, I wouldn't own any of it when it first starts and maybe mine it as much as I can but that's it, wouldn't get any extra from anyone else.

You're right and that was because in the early days people are not into cryptocurrency to make quick bucks but to showcase the beautiful and potential part of crypto/blockchain.
With that been said, fully premined coin or not still dont provided both investors and project manager security from fraud or scam as the OP asked.
I believe the OP need to first forget about ICO cause most investors dont trust it anymore,  hire an experienced blockchain expert consultant who have work with previous successful project for better advise and run his IEO on current trusted exchange site.

hold ico or the coins  ?  are you refering to a wallet     ? or you mean what is the best place to conduct an ico  . well every ico has thier own site   . you can use a high level security on it so that you can protect them from phishing , hacking , etc  .  you also need to search your project on the web to know if someone pretend to be you because this is one of the tactic by scamers    .  laslty , it will still depend on the advocacy of your project if people find it worth it to invest or not  .

The ICO project is now almost dead and has switched to IEO, I still have time to find some who are still launching ICO, it's just that investors might hesitate to invest their money there. And for now it is better to choose IEO which is launched on large exchanges, because many projects fail due to lack of funds and force to do so on small volumes of exchanges.

I think i little number of people interested with ico, all investors moved to ieo. Because a large number of ico are scam. For Ieo i like binance and kucoin exchange. Because they are topexchange, real trading volume and trusted exchange.   

Crazy enough in my opinion after all these quote unquote scams and such I would still feel more comfortable with an ICO than an IEO.

Hello. What I have noticed today - there are more cases of attacks on exchanges etc. And as far as I understand, this is also a reason why people are thinking more on more secured approaches

This is true and I have also noticed more situations, when different people think more on where to store the funds. And what exactly do you mean by other ways?

Well, I would say that the most rational approach is comparing storing right on exchanges with storing on hardwallets. And what I have noticed - the demand on hardwallets is growing

And are there many advanced hardwallets you are aware of? Cause talking about me, I wouldn't say that there are some unqiue ones, even though market is overcrowded with abstract solutions

Well, the most advanced one these days is GetHashWallet. Team is basically offering secured and private hardware wallet. The devive is non-programmable, so no worries here, and easy to use. What I also really love - the product is arrow certified and guys hold fundraising campaign on Indiegogo. And it is already available for sale. Of course, recommend you to have a closer look, pretty sure that you will be impressed

Hmm, definitely sounds very attractive. Let me have a closer look on the product. Thank you for your recommendation

If you mean IEO then there are numerous places you launch IEO depending on some factors such as the cost of launching an IEO, novelty of the project. The best is binance but it is capital intensive and your project must be solid without any hidden details or trying to be anonymous by faking your identity. Anyway, the chances of getting listed on binance is very slim even if you have the money. Livecoin is another good place to launch IEO although recently, they stop accepting IEO. Others include STEX and KUCOIN. most of these exchange have a large amount of traders and your token can be sold out within a few days so you may not need external promotion or affiliated marketing.

Binance would have been the best but it's not easy getting listed there because of cost and stiff competition and the nature of your project too. Kucoin is another good exchange, I don't know about their policies though.

Are you talking about the tokens you would be taking? I guess the best place would be your wallet. Store it in a wallet in which only you have access to the private keys of the wallet. I have seen people holding tokens in exchanges too (since managing wallets become a hassle for them) but I would never recommend it. The exchange might get hacked anytime soon.
If you are talking about holding all the tokens that are to be distributed, then I guess a very trusted well known escrow would be the best. But will the escrow be willing to take the risk?

I think if it's still in the form of a token then the safest place to store the assets might be to use a wallet like myetherwallet because if you store it at the exchange then it is very risky when the place of exchange is collapsed or not scam then you will immediately lose your assets.

Did you mean ICO? Then I don't know there is any good place available for it. But if you mean the IEO where both the investors and project owners will get profit then I must say it's the Binance, OKEx, Kucoin and Huobi is the best place to do it! No one is interested in ICO anymore, so IEO is a better option, still!  

Sometimes it seems to me that people who ask about ICO were frozen for several years and now woke up from hibernation. What you are asking does not exist.
There is no platform on which ICO would be located and conducted, what you are talking about is called IEO. Exchanges conduct ICO on their platforms, this is called its IEO.

It’s the same thing, only the exchange platform acts as a guarantee of security for investors. There are no guarantees that you will receive a profit, but more often than not, you will receive your coins.
How much they will cost is another question.

ICO has several problem any one can run ICO. In 2019 this base was gone to IEO and there Binance exchange is the best. New process is applied by IMO ecosystem. From IMO ecosystem or wallet you can make your investment in new projects. Although for some reason I don't trust IMO ecosystem.

There are no ICO's nowadays, all of them are already dead.

Even if you can find the best place to hold an ICO, I don't think that it will become successful since there is no investors are willing to invest in that coin offering anymore. The success of ICO's is long gone. After it gains a high demand, scammers also create their own ICO since they find it as an easy way to collect money from other people.

But why ICOs when it is clear they are no more in fashion or will I say dead, when was the last time a project did ICO? That shows it is no longer working but IEOs now are leading. In my opinion, IEO wil be better as investors will have a sense of funds security unlike in ICOs where the team can do whatever they like. Also, in addition to this, the exchange which will be used should be a good one might not necessarily be top exchanges (maybe for fear of fee, although they have their own benefits) but any reliable exchange would be okay, in this way you have tackled any form of fraud which investors might be weary of.

I also suggest moving on. it is very difficult to choose an ICO scam project or not, even now I have rarely seen ICO development anymore. if you want to buy coins early, maybe the best place is to choose IEO. it would be better if you chose IEO in a popular market, and it's confirmed. it allows greater to far from the scammer, and get profit.

i would say unless the project in question is ready to seek a renowned escrow service to hold the funds of the sale for transparency and trust from investors, although people no longer trust in ico because of so many scam projects that fooled investor and take their money,
ieo has taken over that spot, not that they have been excellent on this part but it has help to reduce the rate of scam project in the space.

It depends on how investors will apply their understanding to keep their funds away from scams because as an investor it is our responsibility to ensure that we're handling our investment properly. Knowledge is an important tool that will guide you on distinguishing which ICO project is beneficial but with the reputation of ICO, you should be vigilant before making any decisions and check every information.

ICOs are means of raising funds for crypto projects. due to incessant increase of scams and Non-regulation of crypto business, investors were scared of participating. Exchanges took over and introduces IEO. This has proved to be a reliable source to hold and engage in coin offering. Recently, some exchanges that are not trusted still organise IEOs for projects. it is left for the investor to make his research on what echange to join for IEOs. the most reliable exchanges that offers IEO are binance, okex, gate.io and few top teir exchanges. 

We are already in 2020, where Ico is no longer the order of the day. So, if you are looking at investing in any project that is conducting ICO, I would advise you to look for an alternative. IEO would have also been the best, but it has its own lapses. There are scam IEOs too, held on scam exchanges. You might want to consider investing in IEO that are preferably held on big exchanges or simply invest in the top cryptocurrencies. At least, wit that you will rest assured that you are not giving out your fund to scammers.

A manager can easily detect fraud if he's long in the industry while the investors, they are the ones that are at risk because they can hardly find what's legit and not. And this applies to the aspiring investors that only wants to make money from these ICOs.
Well, I don't think it's no longer important because the ICO industry is dying.

IEO or ICO is dead not to mention where to hold them.

You can visit sites like icodrop, ico bench and others, but some people say icobench is inaccurate, they will make good reviews on projects that pay them.
so it's better to visit icodrop, because good projects are always on their list.

Not yet, what about some IEOs and icos were running in some major exchange sites. These projects are still getting a huge demand and look at how wazirx has made more than 5x for the early investors and buyers.
You should visit the IEO platform again to know the truth about that but only a trusted project can raise the funds.

The best way is to own the private key from your tokens, that means if the ICOs are ERC-20 tokens, then send them all to one ethereum wallet, you will reduce the risk of loosing them all when exchange exit scam or delist the tokens.

There are very rare cases of ICOs as of now. All the ICOs are being held on project's own platform.
I think the question should be about where to hold Initial Exchange offerings, IEOs.
Of course, the first name will be Binance. Then Kucoin, p2pb2b, latoken and so on. There are many good exchanges out there that are trustworthy and can successfully conduct IEOs.

Gethashwallet? I have never heard of this hardware wallet.
Listen.
The best hardware wallets can be found on: https://bitcoin.org/en/choose-your-wallet?step=5&platform=hardware
The 3 leading known hardware wallets that are competing today are.

• Ledger
• Trezor
• Keepkey

Your question reminds me of the KICKICO platform, but it seems that it has not launched an ICO for a long time, which proves that the ICO does not receive the attention of the people, currently the IEO on a given Change is the preferred form.

This hard to find good ICO this year. I think better join IEO than ICO. But right now is the best time is invest Bitcoin and hold this year.

Join IEO on the mentioned exchanges.

Binance
Gate.IO
Kucoin
Houbi
Okex
Bittrex

Nothing follows..

Others have also in some mid range exchange but dont trust them as most of them have been swayed just ti conduct an IEO project. In short only pure business.

Usually these places are the best one and very securing to hold a crowd funding. This IEO which is not so different from ICO is now trusted more than typical ICO. I suggest you avoid those ICO platform now cause most of them are just scam.

I think the best question to put up is ICO still preferable and will investors still go for ICO if a good project is presented, that way you will have an idea if it's worth holding an ICO or you just wasting your time, because no investors are coming in to invest because they knew ICO is already dead.

I think people can hold their tokens in the exchanges which offer the IEO because we know that Binance, KuCoin, Bittrex can be a good place to hold the tokens or coins. If we still hold the tokens in that exchange, I think we don't have to be worry because the exchange will protect their exchange from the attacker or hacker that will try to steal the tokens or coins. But you can also search the other wallet that is recommended by the project so you can save it by yourself. But you might miss the time to sell the coins, especially if the trade for that token starts.

MEW wallet is a standart variant for this purpose

If you want to use a wallet to hold the initial coin offer, not only MEW wallet can be used by everyone,
but other wallet can also be like a wallet wallet, Imtoken and others.

Projects that carry out IEO on exchangers that do not have large liquidity mostly perform poorly when first listing. In my opinion, if we as investors, currently the ones who profitable in terms of IEO are Binance or Okex, but the exchanger does not do IEO too often because of the strict verification of projects.

for now the ICO I think is very risky to follow why I say so, because in 2019 there was an IEO trend which replaced ICO but IEO is also now unclear. If you want to hold coins for long-term investment choose a clear coin and  it's been a long time

Ico and IEO are dead ends atleast for now. Only something really revolutionary new tech will get traction from ICO. The IcO scamming and bad project offerings have faded away thanks to the great almighty bear market!

I am looking forward for SECURITY TOKEN OFFERING STO market maturity.

ICO fundraising can't be hold outside the project website so there is no best place to hold ICO, it sounds like you are talking about IEO which we all know that exchanges are the only thing standing between investors and the project, the best places to hold IEO are too exchanges, they have better investors overall

They still can't see that fact that IEO and ICO market is totally dry and dying as soon as possible. With the STO, I think it will just do the same unless it's being supported for at least 2-5 years then we can say that it's going better.
But as soon as it's not yet matured, we can have a thought that its fate will be as the same as the first two.

The ICO era has passed, and what is currently attracting the market is IEO. Many of the members above suggested joining IEO in trusted global exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, Okex, etc. who have provided evidence that some of the IEO projects held there achieved success. Never think about joining IEO on a less trusted exchange, the risk is great. Especially if you join ICO, if the project is not really legit then you should stay away.

These sites are merely aggregators providing exclusively fact-finding information. In addition, some of them, as you already noticed, have inaccuracies and are able to place scammers on their site.
In any case, a fundraising method called ICO has become obsolete last year, at the very beginning. Release and move on. There are now significantly safer methods for investment.
