Any one can answer my question?

Depends on what rules the hosts set but most require an etherium address

Yes, there are other ICO project not connected on ethereum, it is all coming by a chance that most of the ICO signature campaign are under Ethereum that's why they are asking ETh wallet.

You can participate in ICOs based on Waves Platform.

Some even accept cash as I heard, but of course it depends on the ICO. Just make sure that the requirement to have an Ethereum wallet doesn't stop you once you find a really good project to invest in. You can always use exchangers to invest cash. No need to really hold Ethereum coins on your wallet.

It's ETH accepted only ? If yes, you'd better creating a single eth address, don't use an exchange address or any address you don't have the privacy key.

i think most ( not all ICOs ) use ERC20 wallet in their rules so you must create it before join the ICO, but the rest use waves platform and NEM ( DIMCOIN Ico i think use NEM wallet )

You can't because that already become a mandatory for every participant to participate in the ico crowdsale and i can say you must have the ethreum address to receive your shares. and that was easy.
Don't worry about that. But there is a project that already used its own platform and you will no need the put or have ethereum address such as iconomi.

Almost all the icos require an own address, never using an exchange address. We'd better do as ico rules asked to do when we participate in an ico.

That's dependent on the ICO. If you can only invest with ETH, you could theoretically still deposit using some exchange services (send bitcoin and they send ETH to the address you specify) or withdraw from an exchange. But pay attention to ICOs most will only send tokens to the address you deposit with. If you have to send ETH then you need an address.

Also if the token is an ETH token... then of course you need an address.

If the coin is an Ethereum token, then to receive the tokens after the crowdsale, you'd need an Ethereum wallet address. In the case of the BannerCoin ICO (bannercoin.com (http://bannercoin.com)) You can participate before getting an Ethereum address and payment options other than Ethereum are are accepted. Before you can receive the BCOIN tokens, you'd need to establish an Ethereum address, but it can be done after the crowdsale.

Yes. For example, the BeOne generosity campaign, which runs from September 7 to October 07, conducts ICO on the Waves platform and therefore a wave purse is needed.

Yes, there are still ICOs that accept non-Ether.  But if the ICO is selling ERC-20 (Ethereum-based) tokens, then you'll need an Ethereum address anyway.

Avoid token sales like ours.  We will be accepting only Ethers.

You should create an Ethereum address anyway. Understanding as much about blockchain tech as possible is important before investing in the space.

Most ICOs use Ethereum tokens, which require an Ethereum address, but as people mentioned some don't. Why limit yourself though?

Many ico you can consider with other wallets, but mew (eth address) with erc20 is still very familiar today, we just follow the rules they use, there are still wallet that is connected like a wave, and I think they also use erc20. The important thing is you can keep your wallet safe and give enough ethereum for gas.

It depends on the coin, there are some tokens based on ETH some others based on ETC and I think some icos are coming on waves and even some other tokens require a regular bitcoin address so like you can see it depends on the token you want to get, but I do not see what is the problem with and Ethereum address you can get one very easily.

Yes but I don't get the picture here.

Creating Etherium address will just take seconds of your life so I see it's not a hassle. Rather than asking question like that, try to create an Etherium address so it will not be too much complicated.

Is Eth in blockchain.info ok?

What projects are you talking about? Giga Watt, for example, accepted bank wire transfers in USD. For this, you don't need an ETH wallet. But to get your tokens, you will need ETH wallet 100%. No other way here.

You can, but not for those ICOs that uses ethereum smart contract for their fundraising. Some ICOs that didn't require ethereum address mostly will have their own blockchain and becoming altcoins instead of blockchain assets, and most of them take really much time just to distribute the coin because they need to test their mainnet and many more.

I think! You can used other coin! Bitcoin, altcoin or other ( Waves, NXT, bitshare) but easy with EHT because this coin had smartcontract

WHich ICO?

Depends on if they accept BTC instead OR if they require you use their platform of choice to receive your tokens.

ie., Foodcoin, Propy, LAToken, etc...

if ico project use etherum platform smart contract
you must create ETH addres, because youre receive coin, receive token use ETH addres
without ETH addres you can't receive coin/token

This is the issue, why the op does not want to get an Ethereum address, may be he does not like Ethereum like many people in the forum and he prefers to not been involved with that coin at all if he can avoid it, or maybe he does not like the idea of creating an online wallet in myetherwallet.

If the ICO project is based on ETH platform then you cant do anything since they would really demand or asking your ETH address. Why would ask Waves address if the coins is Eth-based? Common sense please :)
As being said above most ico now are on eth which means you would really need to give them eth address.

You cannot have a definite answer to this query because most of the ICO are using Ethereum as the token creating platform and some of them are taking in coins only in Ethereum because of the ease of distribution ,it depends upon what kind of ICO you are choosing and these things change with each and every ICO .

I'm still trying to understand what that OP asks. why it complicates self, If he does not want to create an ETH address why not stay away from ICOs that is in the area ERC20 Although it will be difficult, as I see mostly ICO coming using ETH however not all in ETH there are still that others

It's not possible because most ico issue tokens on ether platform because it doesn't cost much , they can set how much ever supply they want and sending the tokens to investors is also easy they just need to setup smart contract and it automatically sends the tokens to investors instantly currently no other platform offers something easier than this

depending on which ICO you are going to invest
if they do not use smart contract ethereum, Maybe yes. you do not need an ethereum address, but if you participate in an ICO using smart contract ethereum you are required to have an ethereum address

You can still use some exchange services (send bitcoin and send ETH to the address you specified) or withdraw from the exchange. But pay attention to ICOs sending the token to the address you send.
There are wallets connected like a wave, and I think they also use erc20. You can keep your wallet safe and provide enough ethereum for the gas.
 ICOs do not require the address of etherium to essentially have their own blockchain and become altcoins instead of blockchain properties, they need to check their mainnet and more

Of course if you follow an ICO project that uses platform waves, otherwise if you join an ICO project that uses Ethereum platform.

It would be nice if the op gave to us an explanation of why he is so against having an ETH address especially if we take into account the fact that creating one is very easy and it does not take any effort to create one especially if you use a wallet like my ether wallet.

Well yeah, even a child that knows how to read can make their own wallet address.
Like don't get me wrong with this as I'm just being honest.
Anyway, it all depends on the ICO your joining, their token depends on which platform they choose to use.
Pick ICO that have waves platform so you'll not need to bother to create an eth address but you'll just find it hard to find as many ICO are base on ethereum platform.

it seems that Etherium address is needed now, because very many ico projects that use etherium as their payment platform, but waves also not lose competitiveness

No problem I understand you completely, creating an ETH wallet is as simple as creating an email, you just need to save your address and that is it, then you can buy any ico that you want that is based in Ethereum, personally when it comes to profits as long as the project is good I do not mind the platform that is using for its ico.

You should know first if the ICO you are going to join are distributing ERC20 tokens. But not all the ICO's are depending on it and they have their very own wallet address. My friendly tip to you, before investing to an ICO learn to know more on what type of token they are going to distribute and it's not normal that you will invest into them without any enough background on what you are getting through.

yes indeed, most ICO always need an ethereum address to make a payment. but there are also some ICOs that accept the wallet address other than ethereum. it all depends on the ICO rules.

Yes you can participate in ICO with other besides Ethereum address, like WAVES. this depends on the ICO project rules and what platforms are used to collect funds and pay back with tokens to the investors. But most ICO now use the Myetherwallet platform. And also there are some who use platform orderbooks.io for their token contribution.

Most of the new ICOs are using the ERC20 tokens based in ETH that's why you need a ETH wallet compatible with ERC20 to receive those tokens. Some ICOs also create their own wallets so they don't require a ETH address, but 90% of the new ICOs are using ERC20 as its way easy and cost efficient than creating their own wallet.

Besides people need to know in which of the two ethereums the project is being created, I have seen people making the mistake of giving an ETC address when a ETH address was needed and it seems those people lost their coins forever so we need to be cautious about that.

Not dpeend on the ICO rules but depend on whether the ICO plan to use ethereum smart contract, waves', or making their own blockchain. especially a coin that's independent from bitcoin or eth or waves by creating their own blockchain often accept so many altcoin as their payment method, not relying to the smart contract only.

to simply follow and listen to ICO the answer is "you do not need to have ETh Address". but if you want to invest in ICO, the answer is "Very necessary".

Yes it depends on the project.

But 99% of ICO's require ETH, it's just the cryptocurrency that is used.

Yes you can it was depends on what kind of campaign you joining if you join in some campaign that not under in etherium contract then you have to download there wallet first before you can join jut like any other campaign for me etherium is more easy  so i suggesting my ether wallet

Most ICO projects requires ethereum address for them to send your share. So it's better to make an account especially when it is required on the project you wished to participate.

there is no hassle regarding on how you can make account on my ether wallet so if i were you, try to make ethereum wallet yes let say there is some or you can participate with some in some ICO even if you dont have eth address but as i told there is no hassle on making your account so just make it.

As many people have noted it depends on the specific ICO.

ICO's which use Ethereum smart contracts will require that you have an Ethereum address. Others use different cryptocurrencies like Waves.

Setting up an Ethereum address is relatively easy once you have done it once. I would suggest MyEtherWallet which is very user friendly.

If you are going to apply any new ICO which issue ERC20 tokens then it is mandatory to have a ethereum wallet otherwise how the developer send you purchased tokens. Myetherwallet is the best ETH wallet to get ERC20 tokens as no exchange wallet can get ERC20 tokens.

You need an ethereum address if the ICO is an erc2.0 token which is based on the ethereum blockchain. As the foundation of the token is built using ethereum programming, the mainnet can only process using eth address. However, there exist ICO which does not use eth erc 2.0 token. The most recent ICO red pulse use neo network instead and you have to buy using neo and you need to have a neo address instead. There is also nem ICO like dimcoin and comsa.

Yes, but not su much, the most part of the ICOs here use etherium adresses. Why don't you want create ETH adress? It takes 2 minutes from you and esely to create and usage. Probably you got your own reasons.

As a participant or as an organizer? If the tokens of another ICO are located on the blockchain, then maybe you need a personal wallet, sometimes the developers make personal cabinets for tokens inside their sites. Depends on the project. It is possible that in general you can limit yourself to bank payments in some cases and then sell tokens on the exchange.

My thougths You cant participate in most paty of them, because they all requires  ETH address. But you still can find ICO wich using other wallets. But better to create this one its very simple.

There are some who don't use ETH wallets, but most ICO's here use the ETH address.
it would be nice if you also make your ETH wallet

Mostly all ico require etherium address to transfer the coin which they have sold to buyer.But some ico doesn't demand for ether address because they create their own wallet address for transfer the coin. so we can say that any one can participate in the ico without creating ether address. Ether wallet is best for saving ico coin and free airdrop coin.some ico coin cannot transfer direct to any exchanges wallet and that coin can sell only agaist the ethreium.That's why ico company demand for ether address.

You can only participate in the ICO on the wave, Neo and etc platform in this case.

But most of the ICO projects are on ETH platform, you can’t receive the ico coins if you do not have a ETH address.

I do not think, usually all ICO interacts in some way with ether and the purse is necessary

Some ICO use their own blockchain and have their own wallets and coins, so not always you need Ether.

Yes,  if the ICO doesn't use Ethereum platform. However many ICOs now use ethereum platform and requires to have an ethereum address. 
Whether you like it or not,  you must create it since that's the way the ICO manages its payment system.

Yes you can participate an ICO without creating an Eth address. Just select those who are not ERC20 tokens like waves. Some tokens have individual wallet to download which are not eth dependent (like deeponion, soferox, many more) so those tokens are the ones you are looking for.

yes your right even you are not creating some eth address you can also have some to participate for some ico just choose wher you are able to join that are not required to have the eth address.

indeed that depends on the hosts rules because  i think most of the upcoming icos demands a lot on ethereum raising and also bitcoin that is according to my understanding. if there are pros we hope to hear from them.

Yes there is ico on other platforms. But most of it is still on eth. Also I will recommend to beware of ico which offer to install your own wallet. They can have viruses.

That is undeniably true that some of the ICO that offer to have to install your own wallet have some phishing virus and can damage and be used to steal your precious personal details . But it also depends on what ICO you are participating some ICO is getting your ETH address for your payment.

Indeed, it all depends on the rules of the ICO in which you are going to participate. Most all the same require. But with your rank, I doubt that you do not have an ETH address  ;)  ;D

Yes some ICO do not ask for ethereum wallet since they provided their own wallet or they have other altcoins to advertise some of it was stamp, graft and soferox. But I don't see any bad thing if you are having an ethereum wallet besides it is one of the commonly use and trusted wallet. Better read the guidelines set for each campaign if you have any discretion with regards to token or online wallets

It depends on the ICO, sometimes they need is the waves address instead of eth address. But most of the ICO now choose the eth because of contract. You can join in ICO but to can't receive your payment and it is unfair for you, only need to do is to follow their needs. And if you think that it is hard to make an etherium address it is NO, just go on myetherwallet.com and choose what key you want to use. And the eth address is there.

Maybe when you registered in their website, you received wallets for that coin and USD or BTC/ETH. You can send your USD or BTC to this wallet and join ICO

These are single projects,they are few,who represent their wallets

It is surprising that such a rank,and does not know the banal things

Yes, you can. It depends on bounty conditions of a compaign in which you are participating. For example, Universa transfers all the oarned tokens into your universa wallet

Most of the ICOs uses Ethereum platform. Having an Ethereum address will make your life easier.
Not that hard to create at myetherwallet.com.
Just follow the steps correctly and send your ETH there. After that you can join most of the ICOs being offered.
