Bitcoin Forum

I ’m a technician, but I do n’t know how to promote it.
I hope that like Satoshi Nakamoto, there is no ICO, no pre-mining, but no one will develop for free. All need money.
The isomorphic multi-chain solution was designed by myself. The core technology has been implemented and verified to be feasible.

I can complete the technical project by myself.
I have developed the first technical version and will finish the second technical version.
The next plan is an application, which requires a formal team and a lot of funding.
The project is online more than half a year, but the promotion is slow.

I previously worked at Huawei for more than 7 years.
The isomorphic multi-chain solution was designed by myself.
The previous investment was my private funds.

You can't even imagine the luck will be happening for a twice. Bitcoin is the only one and you must see that any development will need the funds until you develop your product use your own skill without needed the help from someone else.
As long as you can create a good product with your own hand and you don't need ico but you can try to do a marketing to attract the demand for your product.

I think ICOs are a necessity for your project. Something big needs a good team to develop it. by yourself you will not be able to make your ideas go far. Implementing an ICO will make you more responsible. You will need to have a good sales and marketing team who will help you a lot in the future. Then there will be investors and if the project is successful you will soon become rich. ;)

How should I find a sales and marketing team.
Although I have written the core technology in the white paper, most people will not read it.I haven't found anyone who really understands it yet.
Although I have implemented and core functions, the code is also on github, but there are fewer people watching.

I understand the core technology and can develop it by myself, most of which have already been implemented. But it is impossible for me to realize the whole product by myself (Application project), it is a very huge project.

OP I'm thrilled you do all this by yourself but you won't caught the attention needed for your project all by yourself, you need pro team and private investors before partnerships, you want your project to survive nowadays? There you have it

The main thing you have to do is embrace some people to be your real team, and then arrange steps to work on a project, because if you just write it without embracing other people, then you will find it hard to get a team and also difficult to build projects.

I ’m a technician, and everyone I know is a technician. They are very satisfied with their current work.  They can only help in their spare time.
so it ’s still difficult to form a team.

As far as I know, bitcoin is not one man project. Satoshi can gather competent people to test and try the network, including mining bitcoin, so there is no ICO of bitcoin. You can do as Satoshi did, but you need other people who can test and try like what Satoshi did. At least you can invite your friends who have an interest in your project so they can help you. It is good if they can also help you in promoting your project.

Yet another clickbait thread. Your title is asking about ICO, but the content you write is promoting your shitcoin only. You have announce your shitcoin here [ANN] [GOVM] High scalability, theoretical TPS can exceed 2 ^ 64, already online (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230875.0), so don't need to announce it many times. You only make this forum looks more messy (even altcoin section always messy because many spammer and duplicate thread). If you want to update your ANN and want to share news about your project, just post it in your ANN thread.

If your purpose creating this thread only want to ask, update your thread with my quoted post below

There is nothing difficult if there is a will from yourself, in this world there are certainly many people who can invite to cooperate in any case, so you only need time to look for you to get people who you can use in terms of your work.

Well if you really ought to seek funding starting an ICO is not bad only if your project is truly legit and beneficial to the people and investors. The point of ICO is to let the masses judge whether it's worth investing or not so there's no harm to try it out although the hardest is how to form a reliable team, advisors and faces many legal hurdles.

So why would you need an ICO? ask yourself first before asking it to others since you are the one who can determine your needs regarding on running your plans but I will suggest you that if you are serious and believe your project will run fund it for yourself first then later on show the result so that people will find your project worth to give a blink.

I believe that there is a post last time that i have read i don't know if that in service section or in market altcoin section in which The OP is asking/looking for a team that can be willingly work with Him as a team without money involved first and he will compensate them after the project succeed.

maybe you should try the concept though i doubt that there will be interested but who knows?there is no losing in trying right?anyway Goodluck to your Journey here .

This is my project and I have only been developing and maintaining it myself.
[ANN] [GOVM] High scalability, theoretical TPS can exceed 2 ^ 64, already online (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230875)
Future plans, I ca n’t do it alone.
Follow-up plan
1. After the development of the new consensus, the project is technically restarted( I will do it myself ).
2. Application project: a predetermined mall. If there is enough information on the manufacturer's chain, and the users believe the information. The users can order goods directly from the manufacturer. The manufacturer produces the goods according to the order and sends them to the user. Manufacturers do not need to backlog commodities and high advertising costs, reduce costs, and users can buy lower-priced commodities.

Investing in ICO projects is now risky because not many people are interested in the type of investment. I think the trend of investing now is IEO and will attract a lot of new investors because if listed at big exchanges like Binance, you absolutely can make huge profits. Anyway, some IEO projects fail and it is no different from ICO, so you need to consider carefully before making a decision.

What's the purpose of your project? and what's that project? Can we have a look at that project you have?
PS. no need to increase the font size.

ANN GOVM (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230875)
website (http://govm.net)

if you really need a lot of funds then you need to do ICO/IEO but if you can get your own investors to fund the project that you are developing now then there is no need to do ICO/IEO

It doesn't, there are various ways that can be taken to promote his project if he is wanna starting a new project. They is he must have a lot of skill to develop a product and i just wanna try to read the WP that has already published by OP above you.

New technical white paper (https://govm-net.github.io/docs)
The new consensus will use DPOS + POW, the old consensus is POS + POW.

Great that you have the technical experience and skills to create a blockchain solution. But with the many blockchain platform and projects running nowadays, making people aware of your project is very hard. This is where marketing comes in. I think you need a team where you can delegate and entrust marketing stuff and you can focus on the project. With the right people in a team, you might have a chance in the crowded blockchain world. best of luck.

it looks like you dont really need an ico for that because you already done the most part but what you only need is more exposure  .

  you can still do it on our own or you can ask help for the people that you know to promote your project in a free way that can be done thru social media  ,  on the forums  , and others online or you can also do it offline    . if satoshi did it succesfully  then why dont you   ?  use the person as an inspiration to keep on pushing  . goodluck

Now ICO is not popular and many investors no longer glance at it, maybe you can do a promotion with IEO on an exchange or do a presale on the project site. Or you can also hold an airdrop and bounty campaign.

All projects that are started by ICOs have many negative aspects that could affect your project after some time.
I believe in the future, there will be only few coins, all of them will be really decentralized, without any pre-mine or ICO and in this coins there won´t be whales like they own more than 30% of all supply.  ;)

I would say if you do not have any funding at all, you should definitely do ICO or something else. However, remember that there are a million ICO's every year, so when you do an ICO you are going to be forced to market it insanely, you can't just make a technology and hope that everyone will like it. You could build the greatest blockchain that has ever been created and you would still need marketing, otherwise you will not be picked up by people.

Plus ICO takes a lot of time and money as well, you think you could only just do an offering and people will find you? How do you think people find you when they don't even know you exist? So you need to do marketing of the funding to get money for the marketing of the coin. It is all complex and very difficult.

Right, ICO is now not much in interest anymore because there are so many scamer of the project so now investors already know which projects are better in sales, I also say that in the sale of IEO not everything runs normally but there are also some projects that fail because lack of quality in their own products.

if you know you can't do it alone then find a partner or team that can help you to continue your project.


The main problem you need to solve is funding which is important because there many fund you need to use for promotion and other important thing like listing in exchange and many more.

As I see that it's not secure.
I stopped to continue looking at your website.
You should work on its ssl first and secure it.

There are different ways to go about Crowdfunding but icos is not part of them, you can decide to crowdfund through private sales and ieos on reputable exchanges.

While for some project, they develop the product, self fund the marketing strategies and exchange listing without ieo or mining and it ends up doing well.

Depends on how you review the situation

Doing airdrops and bounty can't help your project get listed in the exchanges. It only helps you create a large community, so that your project can be listed in the exchange, you need to have some capital and negotiate with the exchanges in this market.

You have a piece of technical knowledge and expertise to develop a system from scratch but you have no funds to support it. I think you need an investor or at least you can conduct an ICO to raise some funds, just present your project to the community, and if it is an original or a unique idea and not a copy from existing projects I think many investors will support it. In terms of promotion its hard to promote a project nowadays without money involves only the bounty hunters who are eager to promote an ICO project without any guarantee to be paid. thats the reality today. 

Yes, but for now if the project developer wants more funds for the project, the choice is through IEO on a good exchange bro, not through ICO because investors now no longer trust ICO since there are many scammers in ICO in the last two years.

I don't think there are many examples of relatively small projects without ICO/IEO in general, even if they have investors.
It can happen tho with big projects, they can delay for several months

The website also supports ssl, you can use both http and https.
https://govm.net

If it were me, I would never choose to invest in ICO because this type of investment is old and no longer attracts many investors as before. I think the ICO will soon die, and it will be very difficult to exist in this market, so it is best to stay away. Since the first appearance of IEO at Binance, this is the end of all ICO projects, and IEO will dominate in the future.

If you can't be able to find investors on your own then ICO maybe a necessary thing to do for now, even with ICO the chances of raising funds becomes less because lot of scam projects shattered the trust of ICO among investors.So try your luck and let's hope for the best.

You may not need to do an ICO if you have a lot of money from big investors. If there is no money available but want to develop the project to a new level, it is really difficult. Everyone works hard and needs a salary to be satisfied with what they have dedicated. This is a basic rule for you to maintain a steady and successful start up.

Nah, that time when I've said that it's not secure, it's not secure.
But you have fixed it quickly and it's good that you have fixed it as soon as possible you have seen my comment.

ICO is indeed the best way to raise funds for something that you have developed. however, for now, it's better to choose IEO. it's just that, whichever you choose, it all has risks, and of course also requires a substantial cost. it is very difficult to find a way as Satoshi Nakamoto did. however, current developments have really advanced.

it's really sad when discussing ICO the last 2 years, many investors are very disappointed with ico and now it is quite difficult to build investor confidence but it's a matter of trying and rebuilding trust in ico

If your idea is good as you claimed then you need funding but you can't do it on your own, first you need a team who believes in you and have same vision like you, this will give your idea or project a good kick towards the right direction. Secondly you need funding and with a good team, you can start with private funding first to see how it goes, then from private funding you will know what's left and how to go for public fundraising in this case an IEO because I don't think anyone will pay attention once they hear ICO. And lastly, if your idea is so unique it might get the attention of top exchanges like Binance, even if it doesn't other good exchanges are there to help out.

Most projects with No Ico and No Premine are well supported that's why they don't need funds but in your case I'm sure you need money for development, it's better to plan for IEO fundraising, it's not wrong even if you don't like it

Many projects giving fake promising then after they're getting scamming. So investors do not want trust ico even i would like ieo. At least if you need some funds for increasing development of your products. Even i can't imagine it because this time you can't make many investors i hope.

There are reasons that can give investors more confidence. Indeed the system still uses IEO, but to provide more trust. Projects that are doing IEO, there really must be progress. So investors see that the project is really good and needs funds for further development.

We are on the same page. I also have a project at hand but no money and I do not intend getting the money through ICO or IEO this is because I discovered lesser people are investing in project startup everyday so crowdfunding won't be a way out. I do not want to put people at risk. So here is what I am envisaging which I believe could help alot. Try to source for private investors and partnership with people that have resources that you believe could help your project. You can write a proposal and mail them or try approaching them via twitter DM if you are on social media. It is very good that you schedule video meeting via zoom or Skype if you received positive response. You can also look out for grants provided for individuals with novel projects. There are many of them being posted every year by private and public entity. You just may need to compete with other great mind like you but it worth trying. Nobody knows you could win the grant.

Agree, projects created without capital for development are difficult to succeed. They need to have some initial capital to help the project work and to do something to help investors trust the project. They can then implement IEO to continue raising funds

If they don't have capital the developers can just distribute the coin for free, like airdrops for example, in this way the dev can distribute the supply without doing crowdfunding.

So many investors have become the new millionaires before there were so many scam projects. ICO is something that can be judge right now but the scammers who have drowned the reputation of icos.

As long as that's a good ico and people who trust it will need the ico.

Even they don't need to make a bounty or airdrop. As long as they have a budget and list it at exchanges, then they burn the token on a quarterly basis, I believe its value will increase every year.

You can little by little mate,If you really have a skills then you can have your business in right time.
Being a technician is respectable and if you can add another taste on that then why hesitate?

No need for ICO just have a good advertising plan,to promote your project and in time there will be fruit.Just make sure that your dedication and perseverance is always there ine very step of the way.

Obviously it's a natural thing because projects without ICO and Premine are projects that already have funds and most of those projects also have products to market so that the project can be more quickly successful because of the many supports from other parties, and it's clearly different with projects that do not yet have funds for development, so the team must use the time to make good fundraising, namely through IEO, so that they can be successful.

yes, they have strong financial support. projects like that have big people in them. usually, they are a combination of several CEO projects that have been successful in the market and create new projects. don't need ICO but they already have very strong market support.

Do not kill your project with ICO, it looks good to try private funding instead there are people who like to back up and fund start-up projects, meet business-minded people in your locality and those interests are blockchains, from there, your project can take off.   

I apologize of course but there are a lot of people like you.  Every day more and more "young talents" think that their project is so cool that it will take off on its own, like BTC. In fact without PR your project will notice only your friends or acquaintance. Decide first whether you need it at all and what you want - this will be the answer whether you need an ICO or not.
Spoiler: just forget and stop believing in fairy tales. If you just like to do it as a home project then OK but if you do it for something (for money of course) it's easier to forget and score.

I rarely saw the projects that used their own money. It's so difficult to be listed on a good exchange site without a lot of money. We should back again to the topic. Op is only the party that can answer his question of whether he needs ico or not.

As you can see a lot of people are commenting about you not pushing with your ICO, you can do IEO or private funding or gamble with your own money if the project is really that good it will take off, it will gain a lot of supporters and people will be in a hurry to be part of the project but right now ICO is being shun by investors..

from all you've done so far.. I dont think theres need for initial coin offerings.. what you need is simply more exposure of your product and how to attract new investors.. or probably private sales (funding) Is another option... Goodluck all thesame

if from my observation people only like ICO to the extent of 20%, 80% is to follow IEO in large exchanges,
because ICO has a bad history of investors will not take the same risk

that's quite interesting to see that and i guess if we can take a conclusion from there if OP needs IEO rather than ICO to give more guarantee for him to get a better profit. So many people have been migrating from ICO to the IEO and so far they have been getting a lot of profit too.

the thing you need to do is form a team in advance for the development of the project that you created, because in the project there are several fields that are needed, such as promotion, marketing, coin making and several other fields needed for the success of a project.

Still, if you do not have expertise in the field, it will be a useless project. Every new project is certainly a mature and mentally strong mind to the pressure from its community, so all of that must be prepared in advance.

ICO is a big mess now, even good projects are failing because investors do not want to be part of ICO when investing, but you also need to showcase your project, if they find good in your project then you can do private or invite angel investors to look on your project and invest.

99% of people in this market will stay away from ICOs. There are so many ICo scams in this market and people have seen that, if they intend to hold an ICO at the current stage, the project will surely fail. Come and agree on exchanges, which is the only way to raise money from the community

ICO is no longer interested by investors even though they have succeeded in raising funds from the ICO, the team will be crazy about the money that can be obtained and will run away now. I don't know about future trends about sales after IEO.

The starting up phase of a project is always the most difficult and it could be lonely if you carry out all the tasks yourself, coupled with the fact that you can't do it all. The interest of a team needs to be put into consideration as their input has a long way to go in the success of the project.

You may assume about 100% of people as well. Because, if there could be any of forum members still prefer to contribute on ICO then they must be shill of the same projects and must be advertising themselves to lure other naive investors. This had happened many times. Those shills are here to misguide many people here hence we should not listen to them and should not include those exceptional people as true investors.

I am not seeing any possibilities for ICOs to be returning; because there are enough exchanges to support the real projects hence if devs are really serious about their project then they may approach only exchanges to start with their IEO rather then risking on ICO with this community. Only devs who are new to this forum may try ICO here without knowing what happened on this forum few years back.

My suggestions will be different. How far you go, you have to trust your project. Now you need a good team and funds to present an application. I don't think ICO could be worth the next plans. Make a good team, then let's try for IEO. Before IEO, try to make a good partnership. Or you can do more development, ICO could be successful in future.

If you have a great project then you can raise the money to complete the project giving a share to the investors and that is the base for any ICO projects and we had a wild ride in the past 3 years in the ICO market and can you personally pinpoint a dozen projects that fulfilled what they started and profiting from the idea they created, i bet you cannot find many and now people are turning to IEO and we will face the same fate. There is no doubt that these project developers are able to raise money but what is the end result after collecting the money, it is not that promising.

Yaps, you are right. should follow the direction of the current trend like IEO. but if the project is in the development stage as the OP said, doing a private sale first would be better for funding a project. because the project is still not ready to be launched to the public.

It not possible to attract the investors if the project team dont have an angel investors. IEO is the only option if the project is  own by a common person.

It's really sad that their isn't a designed working structure or readily available angel investors to always help out team with good products but have no much funds to better develop their product as well to provide the need promotions and packaging to better sell their products to the public. You really need to raise some money and look for range exchanges such as probits and otgers to help u raise funds through ieo

Investors have lost confidence in the ICO, especially in projects that are still in the initial stages.  you better rely on the connections you have, making a solid and strong team from your environment.  Make a plan and a mature strategy, then submit to the relevant company to get support.  With partner support, you can make stronger steps.  This opens up opportunities for developing projects and communities.  If the funds collected independently and the support of partners are sufficient, they can submit offers for potential exchange.

The like for ICO has seriously diminished. Although, the name ICO is nothing bad. It is those who use it for their bad scheme that made of bad. Actually, it could have been the best, because when it first came in and then , when developers really meant business, everything was working fine. What happens to ICO  is already happening to IEO, except for the intervention of some reputable exchanges

but it would be nice for the team to have their own funds for development instead of doing ico and waiting a long time, because right now investors already don't believe in the existence of ico, there is too much manipulation of fund income on the website

everyone can master their respective fields, so you need to recruit a team of experts to complete the project that you develop because if you manage it yourself, the project will definitely fall apart.

therefore the project must make a strategy to use its platform to continue to get funding. projects that have their funding can be said is a project created by big people. they have enough funds to build their own business. but on the market side, there will be a monopoly by those who hold the market in large numbers.

In my opinion it is not a good idea to make ICO projects, because investors are no longer interested. My advice if you have expertise
technology and can develop it. Try making IEO projects, because they are more trusted. But IEO projects cannot be developed by
yourself, you must create a team that can develop IEO projects and promote them. You also need to have a large enough capital,
to be able to work with popular exchanges. Because the best key to successfully making IEO projects is that they must be listed on
popular exchanges.

I think you need to have a strong team to make your project attractive and trusted by investors. Without a solid team, your project will fail. I am not sure whether ICO will succeed when investors or Bounty hunters no longer trust ICO. Maybe you need with IEO but as I said, You must have a strong and solid team.

You're right, a strong team and interesting projects are the main capital. but now does anyone believe in ICO? the currently more popular fundraising system may be IEO. it also does not guarantee the success of the project. very difficult to find investors to project at this time.

Agree, if you want to make an IEO then choose an Exchange that has been trusted by investors, such as Binance, Okex or Kucoin. Indeed, we have to spend a large capital but that's okay, because we will get commensurate results. I see OP is an experienced person, so I am sure OP can build a solid team.

If an ICO project does not have a large partner and many people are interested in it, even if they run many marketing campaigns, that project cannot cause investors to change their minds because for them ICO is all scam projects. In my opinion, you should only choose investment when you understand the project and have available exchanges for liquidity because if you do not check this, you will have to spend a lot of time waiting.

Investors will never risk investing in ICOs at this time, the risk for ICOs is too high and too difficult for them to make a profit from it. And I agree with you, projects should focus on IEO in order to raise funds

If promotion is slow you should consider IEO, get in touch with exchanges like bithumb, upbit, Probit exchange and few others, also be aware that some exchanges have bad influence on projects, you need to do research on that, there is fake volumes and watch trades

These are small exchanges in this market, and if you do IEO there it is very difficult to raise funds, and the price of the token will collapse many times after being listed. So choose larger exchanges to negotiate the IEO

Yes, I agree with your opinion on this topic, having a great team can make a lot of difference. Because behind every successful project there is a team that may put continuous effort until it gets succeeds. That's why it is a very essential part of having a productive team behind the project to make the project hugely successful.

If your project has enough budget to develop in the first phase, then I think you should not do an ICO. But if you start with the project and don't have the budget, then you need to raise funds from the community. But ICOs are not a good choice, try contacting the exchanges and deals IEO with them

First you need to know that, your idea need to be in a state in which it can be promoted. Secondly you need a team which can help put finishing touches on the idea which is to be promoted, remember no man knows it all, therefore you need one or two ideas, suggestions etc from other experts to enhance your potential platform. Then lastly, the Important part, you need funding to succeed no matter how you see it. There have been projects which uses their money to push up the idea, list on a medium exchange, attract investors and then go higher, while there are some who went for public fundraising, in the aspect of public fundraising I suggest you go for IEO and forget about ICO.

ICO's death is already clearly seen when many ICOs and developers are scamming so that no one is interested in ico anymore, maybe the developer should try to find other ways to collect funds.

Since you have everything in place and you seem to be dedicated to making this possible, why not there are still projects that do ICO, but it's more challenging doing an ICO than IEO now, people tend to draw away from ICO obviously because of the bad reputation it generates in the last two years and investors are favoring IEO now than ICO.

If you are up to the challenge and you are dedicated and you are sincere then you can proceed I wish you luck, be sure to create a good announcement thread so potential investors will notice your project.

Advertising is the engine of trade. But in order to run this engine, developers alone will not be enough. But I can say that advertising can be done without huge expenses for it. It all depends on the Manager.

You don't need ICO, new projects don't use ICO to raise funds anymore because ICO reputations got ruined by scammers, the only solution now is IEO, if your project is very good enough you will raise fund successfully and exchanges results differs so choose good exchange

It a tough ask. The main reason of the ICO is to gather funds for your project. But with creativity, time, experience and a little bit of dazzling i believe that you can get a great project on your hands.  ;D

IEO will be the next choice for new projects. But in order to be successful with IEO, you need to do it at leading exchanges in this market such as Binance, Okex, Kucoin, Gate ... but these exchanges will also have a lot of requirements for the new project

So are you saying you want to be anonymous like Satoshi? I don't think that's possible, why? projects that have a real team alone can fool many people and many investors who don't trust. what's more without a transparent team of course it would be very impossible.
