IEOs are not public offerings, which entirely misses the principle of crowdfunding, am I right or wrong? ICO is the only fundraising strategy that works wonders publicly but since we have no better crowdfunding than the not so transparent crowdfunding (IEO) we just have to accept things as they are presently?

The only crowdfunding I'm looking forward to is DYCO ( dynamic coin offering) which I once thought was a complete joke but not until Orion Protocol used this crowdfunding platform to raise fund and the result were satisfying, DYCO is from DAO MAKER and it is designed to increase the effectiveness of token fundraising events.

For the first 16 months after token distribution, the entire circulating supply is backed by USDC. 80% of the funds raised initially are set aside to be used to buy back tokens from dissatisfied holders.

Note: I'm just sharing this on my own, I'm not part of DYCO team and I'm not paid to do this, if you want to learn more about DYCO check the link down below, thanks

I don't think so, IEO that was done on a legitimate and trusted crypto exchange is much attractive and safe compared to all kind of kinds of fundraising that exist today If your so-called DYCO method is different and unique from others why it's not yet patronized by newly established projects? it sounds odd to me, But if DYCO was truly good, safe and effective well it deserves a break to replace the previous crowdfunding methods like ICO, STO etc. that was prone to scammers.

I don't think ieo's will become history soon at least the ones on good exchanges like binance, kucoin etc.

If you talk about scam exchanges or fake volume ones, they are already history.

The only project that still use DYCO for crowdfunding is origin protocol, I need to see more than just one project getting succeed through DYCO before I can give a try, I can still remember IMO till date if that still rings a bell, for now I prefer IEO, thanks for sharing

I don't see IEO going anywhere in the next few years, but DYCO has such a great system, that it may overcome all coin offerings out there.

Well it seems that you are promoting this daomaker dude. But to be honest, I don't believe in your thoughts, sorry no offense.
Just all I know as long as their a project campaign that will arise here in cryptocurrency scammers will always be there to seek a victim
for sure.

Yes, this is true in recent days IEO is evolved which is unlike ICO but a same concept. That is for the public sale of coin directly in the exchanges. Where the investors will get a little bit of confidence and faith in the project they are going to invest. But, again it is considerable for the project evaluation which is good or worst that is in the own hand of a investor.

IEOs and ICOs are nearly dead. I haven't heard this DYCO but these crowd funding will never stop reinventing the name and the scheme that they'll offer to the investors. They have to change their style in a manner that their offering a real thing and working product.
I thought that this time is the best for those decentralized finance and also the centralized finance. Those platforms that are offering it are the ones who are going up lately.

IEO is still performing well in this market, I still see a lot of projects are successfully raising funds with IEO and prices have increased many times compared to the beginning. Choose the IEO of the top exchanges in this market to be as safe as possible

Saying IEO and ICO are near their dead bed is unacceptable because it's like you saying binance exchange and other big exchanges aren't performing very well with new IEO projects anymore, IEO still rocks and once binance and other top exchanges start giving bad IEO results then I will belief its the end for IEO

I think at the moment IEO which are conducted on big exchanges like Binance, Kucoin, Okex etc almost 90% were succeeded and investors had invested. But if IEO is from low rating Exchanges than 90% chance that the project go in scam category.

It is seek for better transparency and also, probability of reducing risk of being scammed that lead to IEO but the result so far is not encouraging because it has been hijacked by useless exchange platforms that have turned it to business rather accepting project with a lot of prospect. I don't think IEO will be the thing of the past because even before its popularity, some exchange such as binance already have a launchpad that offer the same features. The worst that could happen is to be witnessing less and lesser people that will invest in crypto project

Very hard to believe, any new project that use top exchanges to raise fund will surely be successful, IEO is very easy to understand just as that, all you need is top exchanges and you don't need to worry about things like lack of investors or lack of liquidity

disagree with your opinion here...
IEO will last a long time because investors feel more secure buying coins on the exchange, especially reliable exchanges that have real trading volume. as an investor, I feel more confident when buying IEO coins in large exchanges such as Binance and kucoin.

DYCO can do better than IEO but saying IEO might soon be an history is a big joke, after good use case all a project needs is enough volume and good liquidity which top exchanges are ready to provide, any failed IEO projects failed because they choose small exchanges over top exchanges

for the next few years from my point of view IEO is still feasible to use,
but it must have certain criteria, is launch in large exchanges, and have good liquidity

Agree, IEOs only legit if they are on good exchange with strong support and liquidity. Although OP mentioned about DYCO but I don't see a lot of coins implement it, yet.

That's because MakerDAO crowdfunding is still very new, though I doubt if this can beat IEO because everything about volume and liquidity belongs to top exchanges, I doubt if anything can beat this so I don't support this DYCO to be a better solution for crowdfunding

DYCO is a nice model of token offering, crowdfunding should be a fair ecosystem for both investors and the project.

Investors are tired of scams, crypto space needs a working model for crowdfunding,  Investors protection should be a priority and second is the projects transparency.

IEO has no problem and I don't see the need for another fundraising right now, the only problem you can see with IEO projects are those that use shit exchanges like p2pb2b exchange or latoken.

Another thing that's wrong but right about IEO projects are the fee of top exchanges for IEO launchpad, for example binance exchange requires way too much but I believe new projects who are damn serious about the success of their project should be able to come in agreement with binance team

If DYCO can work very well and still requires not too costly money then it might be the best choice for small time project team who aren't well funded, at least they will stop using p2pb2b or vindax exchange

This is really interesting information. Of course, for the development of the crypto market, as well as the market for crypto crowdfunding companies, new and improved systems are needed. We already know ICO, IEO and others and see how they work. I can’t say that they show excellent results, since very often problems arise with the same IEOs. Maybe DYCO will be a success, but it needs to get more attention and there should be more new crowdfunding companies on its base to show its efficiency. It is certainly important for the crypto community to have a stable system, as this would solve a number of problems in this direction. Thanks to your information, I will pay more attention to DYCO to understand how effective this system is.

If DYCO actually promises to refund dissatisfied investors according to OP, this means it beats IEO in that regard. However, when comparing the all new DYCO and IEO, be sure to do side by side comparison with their pros and cons. The bottom line remains to achieve success in crowdfunding and also to exclude scam, so IEO still plays a big role for now and has been really helpful especially when done on reputable exchanges. I didn't really know orionprotocol made use of DYCO, sounds good.

No matter what type of crowdfunding method is used to collect the funds still all the funds are going to be in the hands of project team so its their responsibility to spend the collected money towards the development of the project as they proposed while collecting funds but most of them will slip from their promise and give just the words to the investors without actually any progress towards developing their project.

Lol I don't believe this sir, IEO is the best thing ever, for a new project to get listed on binance the team always make sure the project won't ruin their reputation, I like MakerDAO but I'm not sure they can screen new projects like how top exchanges can but IEO is still doing so well

Those who are giving their fundraising programme another name are only rebranding. IEO is still very much relevant and to me, it is still the best, most especially those that are done on bigger exchanges.
Even if the name is rebranded, in as much as it is doe on a reputable exchange, it is still a sister to IEO.

IEO is still in a good position in the hands of some big exchanges. Those exchanges have somehow fixed the IEO and are giving profits to the participants. So it seems to investors more interested to the IEO than ICO. However, no one knows the news behind it and no one keeps track of the market dump after the listing. So there will be some more time in the IEO market. And the scam exchanges, which have stolen the money of their own customers using the name of IEO, will not be able to stay in the market for long. So it seems to me that IEO will continue to be listed on the big exchanges in the days ahead.

IEO is still going to be around for a very long time to come, it works better than ICO in terms of reliability, all it's gonna cost is top exchanges and the result will definitely be a satisfying one, DYCO can work out but can't beat IEO

In 2016-2018 cryptoworld was flooded with a huge large number of ICOs, among which more than 70% were fake. When all were searing for a solution the IEO brought the solution to bring back the trust on the legit projects. If you ask people to invest now 90 out of 100 times they will choose IEO over the ICO.

Eventually project team will make the decision of which fundraising system will be much better for them to raise funds to support their project, I also think ieo are not 100% the sure way to raise funds especially for new startup projects because the conditions of some exchange are often too difficult for this new project to meet up with, at the end, the project will not be able to raise the desired funds required to start project development,
Am not very familiar with dyco but whatever will be better and much secure for new projects to raise funds will be a great idea, if dyco system of fundraising will be better than what we have at present, then I think project team should make their decision accordingly.

I understand, it's very hard for some new projects to go on binance and other top exchanges because of their high requirements but isn't this the reason why we have less bad projects on top exchanges? That's the part you missing

I don't think IEO is a public offering and this is more like an event listing on an exchange, but this certainly won't be easy to disappear because I think that until next year IEO will still be there because it's like an ICO trend that hasn't been lost even though people investing in ICO It's been drastically reduced, if there is something new this is a good thing, I just found out about DYCO in terms of the concept is quite interesting and seems to be the next trend like IEO.

Not all new projects deserved to be here, Cartesi get listed on binance because the team are prepared, I'd say if new devs aren't prepared for successful fundraising they shouldn't launch their projects, IEO still works and I like the fact that without top exchanges you can't get good results

not so fast, because the demands on IEO still high my friend
maybe someday IEO will be a history just like STO, but as i said before thats need more time
about Dyco, i just heard this crowfunding methode from you

Although we can't rule out the fact that it might be hard for IEO to become history but we can also have in mind that change is the only thing that is constant in this world, and the crypto space is not exempted. Yes, IEO is very legit unlike ICO or better still, IEO on good exchanges are worthwhile which has reduced exit scam to a lowest minimum but what if another method comes up with better features? There will be a competition and the one that users finds more favourable will win, that is to say users are the determinant factor of which fundraising method that will work or not. But till then, let's continue using IEO as it is still working well till date until a better one comes up.

IEO isn't bad only because of exchanges, all these crypto offerings are inherently flawed, because it's a perfect model for scamming - scammers stay anonymous on the Internet, offer people to buy useless digital coins with a promise that one day they will be useful, but in reality there is no mechanism for verifying that these developers will even lift a finger to developer the product.

I don't think that IEO will became a history all I can say it will remain and IEO was upgraded unlike ICO that became the history because they didn't change the way they run to run a funds for now who is the one that upgrade into something it will be remain and the people like the IEO because it was handle on the exchange itself they don't need a gas to transfer their funds into exchange.

Specially after the developers got the needed funding, the thought to exit scam will be present. And as we all know, this is just a rehearse of an old ICO model, nothing has change a bit, except that this is being run or launch from a supposedly reputed exchange. But it didn't mitigate the risk that the people behind can still scam people and developers are not going to give a shit as long as they are making easy money from gullible individuals, IEO will not stop.

ICO is even still existed until today even it's not so impressive as IEO. As long as the key of ICO that called exchange site will be alive and there was no reason for IEO to be another history in the future.
DYCO is not getting hyped caused by it's an overrated mechanism. People still prefer with IEO

People prefer IEO on top exchanges like Binance. But for other substandard exchanges, IEO is not an attractive launchpad especially those with low trading volumes. The case of Binance is different, because before a project is accepted to their launchpad, Binance is very strict and is doing their investigation per se. However, there are still few projects that can surpass their strict selection. But in any case, people trust more if Binance is handling the IEO. Right now, IEO is still alive but if projects continue to fall even with BNB management, IEO will also be a history soon.

Most people come to IEO for profit and after they have made enough money they will tend to leave the project. I am familiar with this and if the IEO project is launched at reputable exchanges like Binance, the investor will skip the evaluation and quickly look for opportunities to participate. I guess, IEO will always exist in this market and will certainly be better than ICO so if you are considering then should only choose IEO projects at the exchanges that people often recommend.

It's only something that doesn't work becomes history, IEO works better than ICO through top exchanges and I'm loving it, right now I don't even pray for another ways to raise funds, quack new projects are the only projects that will have problem raising funds through top exchanges

Soon is a stretch definition when I haven't yet seen any reliable method of raising fund that could replace IEO effective. Sure not every IEO promise back profit but they are mile better than ICO and if some thing want to replace it, they also need to mile better than the current IEO.

If that's what you think about IEO, ok. But to me, it's also going with the same path as the ICOs did. The factor is big if the IEO is being done on a known exchange so that's why I have said nearly, and soon they might be dead for real once there's nothing new anymore about them.

It's ok if you can't accept it, that's only an opinion of mine. It's nearly to be like that but as long as it survives then that's ok for IEO supporters and investors.

IEO projects are better than ICO, why? because we can distinguish IEO from good and bad,
while ICO is very difficult for us to distinguish, so IEO is much better

Actually, we can distinguish between the two fundraising programs, only for ICO is a little more difficult to distinguish, because the flow is almost the same in all projects, but that is not something that cannot be done, and for IEO it is indeed very clear to distinguish it , because IEO is made in the exchange, so the difference can be seen also through good exchange or bad exchange.

IEO is still performing well in this market, currently there are still many successful projects with IEO and helping many investors to be profitable. Only the ICO is dead and if any project implements an ICO, it is quite sure they are a scam

At least we can have IEOs as a trusted method when it is on renowned exchanges. ICOs are managed by the projects itself but its not trustworthy. Maytimes it is observed with few ICOs that they don't update the fund raised value until it is completed.
There was another method applied by a few projects like VELIc is IAO. Initial auction offering. I think as far as fund raising is transparent and with trust, any method should work fine.

So far IEO is doing good it is still well supported by investors, as long as Binance is doing this IEO is still preferred by investors, I don't know much about this DYCO crowdfunding, but if this is legal and trusted and will yield profit for investors why not, we need to protect investors because they are the life of any project.

From the beginning, the top exchange IEO was better than any other crowdfunding. Only a few top exchange IEO failed, including Binance exchange. Actually the top exchange IEO didn't provide a good return to investors without a few IEO. The best time is during the correction time of a good volume coin.

IEO has come to stay, even during the ICO boom exchanges were still doing IEO but not at the current rate, nothing is wrong with IEO, it is a win-win situation for everyone involved. I do not fancy buy back, buy back is different from burning (Burning is used when a project makes profit and use part of the profit to buy tokens from the market unlike buy back that happens when the team use part of the ICO money to buy tokens instead of development

Centralized exchanges owns IEO success and saying IEO will be history means top exchanges like binance will be out of business, well it's completely hard to accept this fact of yours, IEO and Centralized exchanges are one and it will be like that for many years to come

But OP is stating some flaws about IEO's basic mechanism like it is lagging in transparency I am not sure that the government approved stocks are doing the same thing about transparency while they are entering into crowdfunding. OP is not providing sufficient external references to support his claim. When there is something wrong in the basic fundamentals of IEO, I guess that needs to be fixed before exchanges will be swallowing innocent investors' all the money.

We cannot simply assume that there will be nothing wrong with the currently ongoing IEO model. It has fully become centralized compare to when ICOs went being conducted on this forum. Always centralized things are known for manipulation and possible hidden things. This is the reason I cannot simply ignore what OP is emphasizing.

Left to me i believe IEO's are public offerings and it has been more secured than ICO,  The entire market had enough of every project coming up just to scam investors but since the beginning of IEO, i can assure you that projects that Launch IEO on top exchanges such as Binance and Gate hardly exit scam. Infact I'm not sure if any has exited scam so far but the rate of scams has reduced if you invest in IEO's on major exchange...the button line is, i believe IEO is here to stay

A crowdfunding may be  expired in certain period. But for IEO, it may not end as soon as possible. SO far, IEO is better than ICO and it is mostly used for current new projects. However, we also cannot say that this is the best way because IEO may be not good if listing the coin/token in the small exchange with small trading volume It will not be good for the development of the coin/token itself. We can still say that IEO is worthy enough if it is listed at least in the moderate exchange that has good trading volume and at least listed on CMC.

Why?
Because, if we are offered a new coin listed in IEO, the first one to ask is "what exchange?".
IN this case,as long as the team chooses more to the good exchanges, I believe that IEO will still last longer. However, if most new projects only list the or new coins in small and not worthy exchange, be ready that it may end in several years or months.

When more people like you and I, start ignoring IEOs then it will become a history regardless of top exchanges are still into business or not; I just notify you about the other possibility for making IEO a history ;). When IEO checks all the basics of crowdfunding and it is being conducted only for reasonable projects after enough due diligence then I guess it will survive forever; otherwise people will start ignoring when they find more projects are not keeping their words.

That is because of their dedicated userbase. What about the success rate of all listed projects? They have started delivering what they have promised? How many of coins/tokens have returned its IEO contributors more than 10% return so far. If the percentage is more than 50% of project then we can assume like IEO is doing by checking all the basics of crowdfunding.

We are not here concerned about the success of a project's crowdfunding results when they try with IEO but we need more detailed information about those IEO contributors along with their ROI.

Let's accept that DYCO becomes more impressive than all IEO can do combined, this won't eradicate IEO still because IEO has no problem, the choice will be left for new developers, they will choose between IEO or DYCO, that's if DYCO ever works well though

Well, I think that it is normal if IEO soon will be a history in the crypto because the trend will change, and there will be a new trend that will attract more people or new people to comes to the crypto world. That happens too in the real world, and we don't have to surprise that, and we can prepare for the next new trend in the crypto world. Meanwhile, if you are still making a profit from the IEO, you can still search for another project to make more profit from crypto.

It seems you been overwhelmed by dyco first list orion protocol result when it started trading. Actually thats how hype created, we all knew that the token is highly tradede because of it. Also I like yo add that dyco has specific approach or have insurance to investors. So it likely to be invested by a lot of people. I like IEO on top exchanges but some of them in the shit exchange were completely useless. IEO would never fade I think and would not be like forgotten ICO of 2017.

One thing is constant in life and that is "change", in as much as all the development is in order to make Bitcoin better, all updates is welcomed, when we were using ICO constantly, we never thought IEO could be better untill it came.
Another thing I wished could be checked properly is the creation of fake projects. I'm sure this cannot be done by a novice, they are people that are traceable, it needs an Intervention too.

Orion Protocol crowdfunding was a success, I don't blame OP for seeing things this way and now Orion Protocol is aiming for more top exchanges, it's a total success if you ask me, we still can't judge or put DYCO and IEO head to head because DYCO only performed well in it's first crowdfunding, id say let's wait for more good news?

Well IEO has benefits of its own and the major one is instant exchange listing. TBT I have never heard of DYCO before today and what I liked the most about it is as you said that they will keep aside 80% of the funds to buyback tokens from the dissatisfied customer.

If you can all go through the features that DYCO fundraising is offering you will see that there is no room for scam projects, every projects that will accept DYCO conditions have to room for exit scam, DYCO rules are like trap for scam projects, I believe it will be popular in few more months

There are less and less IEOs today, so the new way of fundraising for crypto projects might appear soon. As of DYCO, only one project held it at the moment having a miserable Hard Cap, so it is too early to say about DYCO prospects.

Wrong. How can you say its not an public offering as they offered token for sale? The only thing about those IEO held on big platforms are they using lottery system to pick out the winners of their token sale since a lot of investors will probably participate. Like most investors they are confident with the listing of those IEO cause it was handled by top exchanges like Binance, kucoin and okex.

Maybe he meant to say that IEO public offering isn't transparency as ICO? Well I care less, all we want is fund raising success of new projects and top exchanges do that right, whatever happens within the exchange behind investors back isn't or shouldn't be investors problem

Anything is possible, IEO can become history in few years time if another better crowdfunding takes over, remember that working doesn't mean surviving, once new developers find interest in DYCO it will oy take few months and IEO will slowly fade away, it's not about because it's working

It's the first time I ever heard of DYCO. But I believe that IEO is not yet dead, because top tier exchange is able to provide the market liquidity needed for the tokens to actually trade.

IEO is the better way of crowdfunding, it will only become a history if there's some platform that will come that which is better than the IEO.
We know that ICO will soon be a history only, not just because IEO is safer but because it's abused, the scam rate is very high which is not attractive for new investors, glad we have new option now.


I think they are still here, that's why the market is still risky, but of course we can always educate ourselves, as that is the only tool we can use to avoid them.

IEO won't turn history unless a better solution comes, I heard IEO have been around for so long but no exposure at the time and when ICO failed, IEO is the only solution left to turn to and it's good that it works better, if DYCO is truly amazing we will know in few months or a year time

Let me see, I think the only thing we need right now about crowdfunding issue is a new solution that will be able to put aside scam projects, a safe haven for investors who invest through such new crowdfunding strategy or platform, if DYCO can offer such services then many new devs would prefer using DYCO and abandon IEO

It seems you know more about DYCO, can you please try to share more lights into this matter? What makes you think that DYCO will do better than IEO? I would love to hear back from you, presently I don't see how DYCO would beat IEO, maybe I missed some points?

if thats true that ico can do wonders then why ico are hardly being seen now ? now people are attracted to ieo and ieo didnt say that its like ico but ieo have a charm on its own  .  too early to talk about the dissapearance of ieo because ieo isnt on its middle run yet  but it could take a couple of years to say if ieo did perform well or not , if not then its okay if they will released a new kind of  offering again and people might consider the one that you proposed on the first page as it sound okay too  .

ICO did it's wonders in 2017, nothing is perfect mate, what ruined ICO was scam projects from scam artists in crypto space, same thing is happening around IEO now but scam projects can't aim for top exchanges like binance, top exchanges is what makes IEO more better.

It's very hard for new projects with less funds to use IEO to raise fund because they can't go on top exchanges, this is the only let down about IEO fundraising, if any new crowdfunding can offer a cheaper way but still safe for investor then IEO might really become history

I also see a few projects that implement DYCO, but it's not really so successful. IEO is currently operating well and brings a lot of profits to investors. As long as the exchange is bad, I believe the IEO will continue to exist

Presently it's impossible because investors feels more safer using IEO, they know that to make profits from IEO crowdfunding they have to choose projects from top exchanges, gate, binance, huobi etc, in Security IEO wins over ICO, it's not gonna fade any time soon.

If there are still new projects that are better then IEO will continue to grow but if failures occur and IEO in large exchanges does not exist anymore then investors will also think hard about this IEO investment so that failed projects that often destroy this all.

Good projects will always appear in this market, so don't worry too much about it. In 2018 I saw a lot of good projects but they couldn't raise money because the ICO was dead, fortunately IEO came along and helped those projects grow.

I honestly think that IEO won’t go anywhere soon or in the long run. The only difference between ICO and IEO, is that this crowdfunding method is through the exchange’s launchpad. The exchange will help you with massive marketing, it’s just that they have high IEO fees + 20% of the total sales during the IEO period.

It’s still a good business model though, but overpriced IEO launchpad fees plus their commissions is kind of a different story. There are affordable but quality IEO launchpads you can find such as Tokpie (I’m not associated with them). For me, IEO isn’t gonna phase out anytime soon.

Naturally, i believe that there is time for everything; if we do a short history research about crowdfunding, it started with public and private sales; then initial coin offering,the ico was introduced; before the introduction of the initial exchange offering; which ensures that project are able to crowdfund, successfully on any exchange they qualify for. If another source for crowdfunding appears today, it does not eradicate the impacts or negates of previous one

The project teams that are trying to run a crowdsale are now force to go in IEO as they can never raise the funds from ICO, the reputation of the ICO is very bad now, people don't trust them anymore.

What they do is, they do it in a stages, private sale from private investors, ICO, then if they already raised a good amount, they will go with the IEO.

There is no such thing as overpriced in the market as long as you buy on its intro price, remember, we are investing because we believe the project will succeed and would result to a price increase multiple times.

Not so soon since we are still seeing some good news about a project that offers IEO in the exchanges. even ICO is never been dead because until now, I see some of them on the bounty section. The only dead investment method today is cloud mining because they turned out to be a scam after some times. even though they reached some years to run their services when they see some opportunity for the money of their clients, they won't hesitate to do so. Just look at what happened to Hash-ocean after running for years, they just disappear in thin air.

There are still a lot in the bounty section, but do they really produce good results, sorry, but if you can name me some successful ICO now, I might change my mind about how I view ICO now.

I think it was being popular first before the ICO, but these are more on HYIP or PONZI investments, I also have a bad experience with cloud mining investment in the past, so I have learn that it's not really a good investment, and I also learned in ICO but made some money, so now I am embracing the changes which we are already facing the new trend which is the IEO.

Even if a new bounty campaign come out today and it's all ICO thing I can bet with you that no single bounty hunter will promote such, the answer is pretty simple, there is no way a ICO project will raise fund successfully without the help of IEO and top exchanges today, ICO is as good as dead

When the development will bring a good result and that will actually attract more and more newcomers to join in the crypto. The idea must be a real thing that can be implemented and give a lot of benefits to the team and investors.
IEO will never become another history again in the future.

Whereas in my opinion, IEO is better than ICO, IEO is carried out with a good exchange even though there are some unknown exchanges that also open IEO for new projects. If there is something better than that, we must support it. We await further DYCO developments

The idea of DYCO is interesting, and I will say that I like it. We haven’t gotten to know much about it, as time goes on we will get to know about it. As for IEO, I think it has to do with the platform that the project running the token is using to launch it. There are some projects that launch their tokens using cheap exchanges that won’t be able to fetch them the level of audience (investors) that they will need to blow that project, and that’s why a lot of them fails. And that’s not the only thing , a project can also fail if people don’t like the idea of the devs.

So, lots of things can make a project not to be successful. And as for ICOs, I don’t think they are leaving (not anytime soon), people still are interested in them. Let’s wait and see the level of growth this newly introduced DYCO will achieve.

This process is quite impossible. Most of the exchange has top level researchers. They probably won't choose any scam coins for their exchange. Of course reputable exchanges don't want to ruin their reputation. Still crypto doesn't have a big amount of investors to trust ICO. Now IEO is the last step where only can exchange is helping to crowdfunding.

The reason why IEO will remain investors choice is because of reputations, for example binance doesn't only make it hard for low projects to make it to their Platform but also make sure they don't introduce scam IEO launchpads to their investors

IEO world was dead from the start, it was never something big that could sustain for a long period of time, it was always something that would definitely work out for the best if they stopped and not take peoples money. Think about it, it is literally ICO that is just based on an exchange that says they trust that coin and that's it. The only difference is something that a third party that makes a ton of profit from it says.

Why would people trust them? I mean sure some do and there was some IEO that made some money but in the end you are telling people "my coin will worth a lot in the future because binance will list it" and that is not really a good enough reason, you have trust the coin itself before you can invest into it, without that why would anyone trust something just because someone else said it.

IEO is open for public except those ban countries like US, like for an instance on Binance you need to register an account do KYC and hold at least 50 BNB but their IEO is lottery style so not everyone got a chance to buy. It is still open but there are so many requirements you need to comply, The IEO allocation is very small I have join several IEO before but I failed to get some share there are people that are faster than me I guess that is why some IEO shifted to lottery style so that it is fair for everyone it is based on luck.

Does not sound to be a realistic solution to me especially for crypto market where fud, panic and fear happens everyother day and people rush to sell even the news proves to be a rumor so such a fundraising campaign cannot be sustainable because each project takes time to fully develop and there are a lot of times during that period when the price dumps badly so with the current market psycology i am sure most people will ask for the 80% refund and in that case the project will not be able to continue, i fear.

Feeling safe does not mean that we will see more projects using IEO as it will go down like the ICO market because statistics will not lie, just take a look at some of the projects listed in top exchanges and how many got their profit and if you check those statistics you will understand how safe these are  :P. In the initial period of the IEO craze many projects helped investors in making a good profit but it will not last that long.

I think so and as far as I can see that IEO is still having a lot of demand and that means IEO will always be the best way for a new project to raise the funds and so far IEO is always really profitable when it comes to the exchange legit exchange site.

Maybe this year, IEO will still be available on some exchanges because the exchanges want to make money from the project still. I think many people are still waiting for the next projects which can give them money. But in the end, if there is a new program that can attract the investor to try, that will replace the old programs, and many people will move to those new programs. It will happen like that, and we can only follow the trend, so we can still make money from the program.

If this DYCO is really safe and profitable for investors just like IEO it can co exist with IEO it will greatly benefit the whole industry because now developers will now have two options for their crowdfunding and investors will pour their money on developers that uses both crowdfunding.
I'm sure if it is good it will create more news because this is really the first time I read about this DYCO thing 

Possibly but presently there is no reason to let go of IEO, as for DYCO fund raising it would like to see what will happen in near future, if more projects uses DYCO crowdfunding and they become successful then attentions will be diverted from IEO to DYCO, anything is possible

DYCO has no demand and compared with IEO and it's still nothing. People have already known very well the mechanism that already used in DYCO but again it's not so good as IEO when speculators can earn a lot of money easily when the IEO token was getting a big pump.

There is no reason for projects to choose DYCO, IEO is doing well and many projects are successful with it. Therefore, new projects will not take risks and choose DYCO at the present time

I agree if it is truly safe and effective then it should be a good choice for all of the future projects that would like to start up.
But I think it would also be polluted when it gains too much attention just like what happened to ICO,STO,IEO etc....

if there is something better than IEO, then I think IEO will also become history like the current ICO which has almost disappeared. however, nowadays people are looking for investments that have a profitable system on both sides. so investors can invest the money they have in developers who are really serious about the projects they will develop.

So far, so good, there has not been any problem per se with IEO, except those done on smaller and less trusted or non-trusted exchanges. Since IEO has not failed us, there might not be any replacement soon. Although, new ideas on fundraising might have started coming onboard, but not so popular. Such idea(s) will still wait until IEO becomes faulty.

that's the thing. this fundraising method called IEO because it's taking advantage of the exchange popularity not just for hosting an ICO in exchange. People could actually help stopping the IEO abuse from the low tier exchanges by not investing to them even some measly amount.

Both IEO and ICO will go down as one of the better coin offering that ever existed in crypto scene. ICO is the pioneer of all crowdfunding and will have its place in history book of crypto but it will not be as good as what IEO is doing right now, IEO is much more secured unlike ICO that had been exploited to scam investors.

IEO is also not a secure scheme. you get coins that are already traded on the exchange, but their price can dump so low that it will equal the scam of the project that conducted the ICO

In terms of securing your assets with no hassle upon making a transactions since you are only using the account of a certain exchanges that are highly trusted and reliable. But we should also be aware of something that are possible to happen the kind of losing money because of an immediate dump. Like what happened for the ICO a year ago.
