I see ICO appear around 30 in 1 day, but I see no promising projects yet
They like to see ICO where to raise money, whereas ICO has a heavy responsibility.
I am very concerned about this condition

ICOs are getting mature with their operations,most of them are handling it properly like an ordinary startup with legal consults.

Promising or not, ICOs is still a good way to get funded. I would consider ICOs as well if I really want my idea on board.

Indeed they pop out like mushrooms after rain.   In my opinion this is just a new and improved generation of good old hyip programs.    Nobody gets rich except the owner.

Although i collect various bounties from various ICOs and i have shitload of various coins, most of them are worthless and some of them never even got listed on any exchange.

I feel like people investing in ICOs are being ripped off. Please correct me if im wrong, am i missing something?

Yeah theres always new ICO everyday I some promising and really have good whitepapers and had stated their goal very pleasing. I think what making lots of ICO now not having success after their ICO is the competition occuring as many ICO are coming and competing for investors money and fund their project.

Your concern is pretty much genuine.
I have seen even the kids of 15-16 creating ICO !! The most interesting part is that they can't even enter in legal contracts due to age minority. :D
Seriously what one need to create ICO project, a website, an ANN thread with random fancy dream project which is never planned to bring to ground from clouds and good for nothing BOUNTY thread.
But still there are some projects which really have something big in their pockets. For establishment of such ones ICO is genuine option like one in my signature. ;)

To mitigate risk it helps to choose ICO that have a real product or close to releasing the product.  If they have something you can test and ones you can see video of other people using that helps considerably.  There are so many ICO that are in the planning and development phase that people invest in which have lots of risk.  What if their main developer leaves?  What if they take it easy after getting money from the ICO?  What if another company starts later but still beats them to the market?  You never know, protect yourself and pick ones that have real products finished around the ICO.

I know that you would really recommend on the ICO that you are wearing on which is understandable though. There are lots of ICO nowadays which some of developers are only young at age and if you arent type of a person who dont research then for sure you would end up on investing on those newbies on this field. There are lots of ICO popping out from nowhere which we dont even have an idea on where do they come from. ;D

if you want to invest in ICO, you should look at various factors and aspects like the team, and the vision / mission they offer in the project.

What is your basis for evaluating that? I find there are still many potential ICOs that you may not notice  :)

Stop with your biased thinking, posting something that you read in another thread is not a good post.
"ICO's are scam, they will never be real, bla bla bla" - Not true, there are so many ICO's that are good projects and will fulfill their promises.

It's true that many ICOs appear everyday, but not all of them are bad projects, some have a solid idea and a specialized team with good credentials, plus ICOs are becoming more mainstream and thus more mature.

If you invest your money in just 1 of the 30 projects, you won't lose money in the future. If there are really 30 new projects in everyday most of them are probably scam.

From 30 ico comes up in one day onle 2-3 ICO is good ico. If you have much capital to invest to ico, you should split it. Do some research begore you invest. So many good project but dont forget crypto world has a lot of scam project. Be carefull to put you hard earned money. If you hit a good ico you will be rich..

See ICO is currently very much emerging and we can see which projects can make money. but looking at ICO is very promising I think there is not yet.
making ICO requires a very professional team and most of today many scammers roam to steal the project's own funds.
if you want to see an ICO or promising project you should see who the manager or the ICO maker itself is.  :)

Then just hand pick those you like.
At the end of the day it will still be your choice.
You could stay here because there are many police here that are securing the users. They report when they smell a scam. Perhaps we should help them to make this forum cleabner and then we dont need to worry which ICO we should pick because all are legit.

I think appearing 30 ICO only in a day is true. Some of them are scam, Some are unsuccessful. But there are lots of good ICOs that cab be found by research. I think investing in ICOs is still profitable.

This is true. There is always chance for successful investment. But as I understand we have to keep calm and not spend money at every ICO. Your own researches are always big deal! As well as steel balls =)

i think most of ico's are not realistics if they are not scams.

devloppers don't needs millions of dollars to develop something.

they can start with something already developed and rise 100K $ or max 1 million to continue!!!

Of course you have to search a lot of shitcoin ICOs before you will find something promising. Especially when you have to read all of these whitepapers, linkedins, roadmaps and whole bunch of articles, youtube videos etc. It's like mining the gold. But when you find one and keep it for long term it will reward you a lot.

The scary thing as mentioned here that everyone can make an ICO. I have myself burned alot of money on shit coins that never made anything.
Still if the company/ vision/ plan/ white paper is good I will not hesitate to go in on another one.

It attracts investors and collects enough money to invest,  it will be a potential promising opportunity for a rich future. But the risk is always around us, the dirty guys always want to hug money without doing anything that everyone is afraid.

To be uncertain to ICO is a part of investing. Better to prepare yourself, if you want to invest in something or wait that the ICO will be regulated to protect the investor.

A high risk area to be sure.

Look for all star founders, teams and advisors. First mover in a space ripe for disruption. And at least an MVP (product) vs. just a whitepaper (idea).

In general, I'm pro-ICO, but...

I do believe there's a special circle in hell for those privileged coin makers that deliberately raise money for a shitcoin from developing nations with little to no legal protections. Always be wary of American coins that aren't raising ANY funds from the US!

You say that you're concerned there aren't any promising projects, yet you are promoting an ICO in your signature...

The same issue China and other countries trying to regulate ICO is pointing out. ICO with no legit project is trying to rob us of our money. We need to be wiser when joining any ICO.

In joining an ICO always check on what ICO is legit. There are many ICO's these days but you have to thorough check which ICO offers a great project. So before joining be vigilant and research first to avoid being scam.

Yes you're correct! not every ICO is promising and worth of investing and some is just a scam! be sure to check first it's background and the team behind the ICO projects.

We all have the choice if we want to be fooled or not. We are responsible for our own actions so if they join and invest in ICO without further research then they are just permitting those scammers to scam you. For me, as long as those ICOs are not managed by a trusted member then I am already out.

Initial Coin Offering is a new way of raising funds for the project, I'm sure investors know what projects are worth to invest - but actually, nobody is forcing to invest anywhere, as far as investors are willing to 'help' ICO will exist - but I really understand China approach, it needs to be regulated and allow only trust project to even participate the ICO.

Crowdholding sounds like a promising project. The platform connects startups with the crowd, allowing them to give feedback on products, services, and ideas in return for future revenue.
So, you can  earn token  (https://ico.crowdholding.com)right on the platform and trade them on exchanges. The platform is running since March, this project is not a scam for sure..  

are ICOs still viable with china screwing everything up?

For me it's crucial to study project thoroughly before investing.

The main problem is that nowadays crypto investors are losing profit because it is impossible to analyze all ICOs and traded crypto assets, be competent enough in all areas and collect all the information efficiently.

Though we are developing a platform Dolphin blockchain intelligence (https://presale.dolphin.bi) that will help solve this problem.

Yes, I always choose projects that have clear development plans and find news about that project from various sources. I think it is very difficult to avoid fraudulent ICO projects, but if we have a lot of knowledge about ICO then this surely will never happen.

Hi Guys,

Check this topic:


The second ICO our of Korea is coming soon (BOScoin was the first). DAYLI Financial Group (formerly Yello Finance Group) is preparing to launch a coin called ICON. The site was opened on the 2nd. Of all things, the Korea version of the Whitepaper attracted me the most, and after reading through, I felt the company was well prepared.

ICON is an interconnecting blockchain network. ICON can connect independent blockchains without the use of additional third-party intermediaries. Various blockchains can communicate with each other through the ICON platform. By connecting siloed blockchains, ICON aims to become the largest blockchain in existence.

ICON tokens are named ICX. ICX is used as an intermediary currency when transacting amongst the various blockchain networks. As an inter-chain blockchain, the ICON platform will be able to host other ICOs on the ICON platform.

The ICON ICO will be the largest ICO in Korea. Overall, ICON aims to raise $44M over the span of 2 weeks. The ICO starts on October 20th, 2017 and ends on November 3rd, 2017. ICON will distribute 400,230,000 ICX which can only be exchanged with Ethereum (ETH). 1 ETH has a conversion rate of 2,500 ICX (1 ETH = 2,500 ICX).

Indeed at this time we must be smart to follow ICO.
because many ICO are scam and some are delaying very long.
So my advice is we should study the ICO Project, a good team and updates and lots of bounties participants.

yes I was thinking like you.

but this is the competition in crypto, anything can happen, maybe this is one of the causes of Chinese ban for ico.

the number of ico that spread over the years. gives many lessons to all of us involved. I think even if there is ico that cheats. but the rest there are also that make us benefit. can from invest or follow the signature.

We don't have to believe and jump all ICO's that we see, the real projects show their ability, reality and seriousness in a few points.
Just should be particular about investing.

Think about how decentralization and the blockchain can pragmatically apply our daily life.
And if you have a project that does it, rather than seeing it as a speculation, you can also see it as participating in the project.

I am also looking for a good ICO to hedge my bitcoins. I like Storm and dragoncoin, but they keep delaying the dates. Lets see when things will move in a positive direction for these two

Just in China ICO is now suspended due to the fact that only in July-August of this year ICO campaign collected 750 million funds from investors, and 91 percent of them are risky with elements of fraud. Therefore, they are trying to license this activity in order to protect investors and after bringing order in this area and making it more transparent, ICO will be allowed. After that, they will become without the present extreme risk.

It's nothing new in the forums, though the growth of shit icos have grown exponentially. For as long as these "devs“ get money from people, you'll keep seeing these icos pop up. The key is to read read read. Invest time in searching and weeding out the garbage. You might get lucky and find a diamond in the rough.

Are coins that are already listed on exchanges before the ICO more legit?

I find there are still many potential ICOs that you may not notice  :)

Many ICOs appear everyday, but it doesn't mean that all of them are bad projects. Some of them have great ideas. And ICO becomes more popular everyday. It's worthwhile to invest to a solid project.

about the chance as investors manage the use of customs as working with the evaluation and more with the deeper analytics as applying use of rationals on occupying selection with the models to gains with the finale on decision as releasing funds to put with the new investment of the ico projects,
as those gives as best to shows the notice as the use on disposition of value that different investor to enter as possessing use of distinct with personal basics of ideal disciplines as defining strategics to returns of decision.

So much scam in ICO... But if you check carefully you can find really good projects) For me Anryze is the best one. It's tokensale is going right now. Join it! Really cool one

ICO are launching everyday, most of them are probably scams, so its better to first investigate the integrity of project before investing in any new ICO

I've seen cartaxi that you use has a lot of interest, I think you use the right signature, they already have 7k follower on twitter and 5k more on facebook, and there are only hundreds of people who follow the campaign. I think most of them are investors

I see atleast 40-50% are bounty hunterz

You can still find a good ICO you just have to look further and dig dipper because most of the ICO's now has similarities so you have to find the best ones and study everything about it.

Most of the icos are not promising , just for raising money .So China has banned all the icos. Before you  invest in icos, do a careful research.

Yeah it's now very risky to invest money on ICO. There are however 1 in 30 days which will be promising but you will have to recognise the good one. You can try out few tricks like, ICO which pays more attention towards there promotion, marketing of project etc might be the good one. Because it shows the seriousness about the project. On top of that out form m is always good source of discussion where people will analyse the scam ICO immediately.

ya. we should only invest after reseach everything carefully or wait people invest first

most ico are nor worth investing now, its no matter of the project itself, but the whole market is going down, there is a great possibility that ico will break out when list on the exchange, so if you really like one project, you can buy the coins after it hit the exchange

I agree with you, the crazy ICO market is over since there are a lot of scams, but I do not think the ICO will be over, it is still a good way to raise funds and some promising projects will be on the way.

there is always new ico the been published everyday and some of them have a good white paper and they dicuss it with a goal and deliver it with pleasing personality. i think that making a lot of ICO will make it not succes after thier ICO is a competition with another ICO and fighting for good money investor to make their ICO a succes and fund their project

30 new icos in one day , maybe only one or two projects are real project , most of them are scam people for BTC and ETH. Take more time to find the best one out.

if you follow some twitter notif ICO on bitcointalk. some day I get more than 50 notif

ICO is developing very hot
A lot of ICO projects want to put digital money in all aspects of life, from healthcare, education, gaming, e-payment, venture capital, gambling, betting.
And hopefully they will be all future money

But you are promoting Car taxi!
Hahah! So you are know promising project!

Anyway the next waves with ICO will be decentralized, so ICO will live more and more!!!

We know that exactly that many are fake but some of them are true but no one go for investment because scammers just made a marks which cannot be remove from investors’ minds so I would like to say we should need to know the market.

There are few ICOs that looks usefull and atractive and may achieve great things. However most of us cannot afford to invest in something that may or may not have a value in the future.

I prefer free tokens so called airdrops. You have nothing to lose ony win.

The terrible thing mentioned here is that anyone can do ICO. I myself burned a lot of money on shit coins that never did anything. BUT there are also good ideas in which it is worth investing so that they can grow

Lots of scam. But some are really worth to invest. For me Anryze is the most promising. ICO is going now

Please stop spamming with your shitty ICO. You are just copy/pasting same message over and over again on enery topic!!

How can I mark out effective projects from scam? Firstly it's look like a startup.. And many of them has a whitepaper..

Actually, you already answered your owned question mate. Way back 2 years ago ico by that time is not that as many compare in the ICO that we had it now. But ICO now is much more good than before, that's what I can say about it in my opinion. But of course, it needs a 100% of caution in choosing ICO project.

It's easy to filter out most of the ICOs with 2 simple filters:

1)  Do they have anything built? No? Move on. Forget about their big teams and fancy titles. Most projects have these and they cannot prove that they can build anything. Writing software is much more difficult than creating a one-page website or video. Several projects raised multiple millions and still haven't delivered any software.

2)  Is the team from a corrupt country? Yes? Move on. In corrupt countries, ethics and honesty are more lax, which means that they will have a higher tendency to exaggerate or lie.

https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2016

CARTAXI looks like a solution in search of a problem or pain-points.  They are trying to squeeze a square peg into a round hole.

ICO still is a good way of fundraising, being unregulated and not legally bound. Having such advantages for the ICO owners and involved parties, it came as no surprise that a lot of ICOs come up every day.
That's why before dealing with or investing in any ICO, the due diligence should be carried out.

There are a lot of ICOs. But it doesn't mean that they are reliable

There are still decent ico's out there.
But I would say that a lot of teams like raising money better than developing.

I agree. I definitely need to see innovation in the application of Blockchain technology to get excited about an ICO right now. Not to say that there isn't BTC to be made in other regions of the market  ;D

No promising projects because people are drained out of ideas.
I literally sometimes go through the offers just to have a good laugh of what developers are coming up to this days.  :D
Yet people still invest in this shit projects,mostly those newcomer noobs.
However,an awareness of ICO scams is rising recently,so I'm expecting less hysteria in the market and more original and applicable ideas.

we can see projects that are almost identical to the same idea, such as decentralized markets or health and charitable projects that are half-failed in the ico phase or fix prices in the trading market.

Many newbies who initially made threads without project completeness that made me laugh, a good project and always ready to have a strong capital and foundation and have minimal been involved in this forum or at least lift the campaign manager to manage their campaigns.

All ico are almost similar, I think we should be careful again in choosing the projects offered so that our investment is not exhausted after entering the market and without further development.

Con artists get attracted to the easy way of generating huge loads of funds in a very short time. If we look at one of the main causes heavily contributing to this, then it's obviously the gambling-like nature of people here -- they blindly invest their money into anything they think has potential. It's just the words and promises of whatever ICO project they take for granted, and for that reason think it's all safe. The term research isn't part of their dictionary, and that's quite worrying to be honest.

Due to the fact that making an ICO is relatively easy, this give some bad guys ( scammers ) an opportunity to carry out their actions. That's why, lately we can see a lot of ICOs that being handled unprofessionally.

Yes its becoming the trend as of now on which we do see ICO every now and then but i would say the success rate would really be lesser compared as we expected because some ICO are just tending going with the flow which actually doesnt really care at all after when they are already being launched on exchanges they dont tend to proceed on their proposed plans which is listed into their whitepaper or roadmap which is really sad,

Check out Real token sale. They are a team of crypto experts and real estate experts. They're bringing together real estate crowdfunding together. Both markets are worth 100s of billions. Token sale ends on 30th September so be quick if you like this project.

ICO's are seems to be best way to earn money for now.The point is find a good and clever ico.It can be so hard because i think 30-40 ICO's still on going but in my researchs after 0x token most good project is DOVU i strongly suggest you to look for it.

then before we invest in a particular ICO make sure that they have a serious team in the project and seriously in realizing the idea they are working on. so when they've got the funds and are already launched. then they will immediately make the next step not just stop at the place and do not care anything..

I think we are going to see more and more "Token Sale Events" as various authorities crack down against ICOs.

The whole market is so new and fresh its difficult to control responsibility when handling such large amounts of money, many ICO's succeed in terms of funds but the projects themselves more often than not fail to deliver.

There are plenty of useless ico going on ,they are just getting funds and not giving the product they are promising.so better to avoid them but there are few ico in which you investment can get great profit.investing in exchange and card related ico can be of great use.

somehow it turned out so well that all my investments were more or less successful. Therefore, the rest of his investments are extremely cautious. One of the last projects I like is cappasity by ARtoken. I got acquainted with their Whitepaper and I consider these guys reliable https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2135473.0

agree with you. before being sure to invest in ico. we should consider it first. whether the project will we invest safe or not? we must learn it firs

there are few promising ICOs that ive joined. Sometimes the project team is great because it is combined with some co founder of other platforms but sometimes it's just a show after supporting with full effort they dont have care on you.

I'm really getting acquainted with DragonChain by Disney, will most likely invest in their public sale ICO that begins OCT 2nd, took a look at their WP and their platform looks like (even if very techy and complicated for my knowledge) its gonna be useful for real world use, plus its from Disney so I think there trustworthy. If anyone is interested I'll leave some links below..

Look at this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2135473.0
I trully like this project but I don't care this is a scam????

Only by way of ico they can raise funds from the public, bet between success or failure
Obviously can be seen loss, because ico nature of the investment then we spend money to third parties, and could be money not used as agreed when ico in stolen or scams ???

ico maybe not the appropriate way to raise money for some projects, one reason is some based on Eth or other platform need not to creat a new token, the other reason is that ico may ruin many projects cause the team cant get used to so much money

I read here an interesting article about ICO Cetiruyu.Statya, the forecast for the market ico
In the ICO market, we are likely to see strong growth.
The ICO market will have to come all the same rake as the market of crowdfinding,
but only "hitting the handle" will be much more painful. Information noise around similar errors
there will be much more. _ The ruined company, which lost $ 10 million (as in the case with crowdfunding),
- this phenomenon is of a completely different scale than the fall of the company, which attracted $ 150 million
(such amounts, as we see, are quite real during the ICO). Of course, one must be aware of the fact,
that today around ICO - the most powerful "HYIP": people often do not look, in what they put up money,
 the main thing is to have time to invest. Investors who supported the project during the ICO often do not look at it
content: you need to wait a few months, "reset" - and invest in a new ICO.
How long can this continue? In my opinion, until the startling
"Fireworks" from bursts in the virtual world of ICO-"bubbles", the creators of which
not just did not cope with promises - they initially did not plan to fulfill them.
Next will be the same: thousands of articles that the ICO - this is very dangerous,
about how someone lost another $ 50 million, as the authors of this or that project turned out to be scammers.
All those who bought crypto-loans "after" (after they were "thrown off" by the original buyers)
will be "in the red." The buyers' confidence in the ICO will drop dramatically. "Haip" will turn into an "anti-hayp".
It will be a very interesting time. Alas, a series of disappointments in the projects released on the ICO,
will affect all market participants, including good authors of really high-quality
 and promising projects.


In my estimation, these sad events will begin to occur about a year later.
This is what the community usually needs to realize and accept the fact,
that the product will not be, money is lost. Longer than a year, unscrupulous authors "drive for the nose"
victims can not. In another year or one and a half the situation is normal.

what the good ICO will pass in October?

Guys, Crowdholding just posted a new task.
Tell about your favorite ICO startup and earn some tokens 💸
https://www.crowdholding.com/project/68/task/283/this-is-our-first-24-hour-task

Check the project's product or service.  Try to understand if it will be really usable in real life.  Learn it's feasibility and marketability.  Now, if the project is indeed promising go and check out their details like team composition, whitepaper, calendar, etc.
 

What is the best use case of blockchain in non-infrastructure projects in crypto?

I find there are still many potential ICOs that you may not notice

A huge risk factor for ICO investors and the project existence is legal and regulation. That's why it is depressing to see how little ICO's seem to invest into regulatory compliance and legal. A great team with a great idea can be shut down in no time if they did an ICO illegally (like 90 % of current projects do).

Make some tokens from Crowdholding project - leave your comment and get rewarded!

More details: https://www.crowdholding.com/project/68/task/286/24-hour-task-ico-review

There is a upcoming ico called CCORE - Crypto Payment Platform. I have read a lot about this project and desired to invest on it.  This allows to  people who have crypto to spend them on various fiat based online services and stores without losing value on the exchange. 

According to an article there are around 137,000 new businesses started on average every day.

Thousands of these are venture backed startups.  Most of which fail..

Since blockchain technology has become a hundred+ billion dollar industry it is suprising that we don't see even more.  Though of course due to the lack of regulation there are more scams than normal.

there is a right opinion but a lot of ico are also running is a good one and i hope more good ico and not scam

Yes, Most of the people take care ICOs like an investing environment. I think it's normal. You can see the stock market where many small investors just buy and sell based on the trend. They also don't understand clearly about the companies.

Yeah, I can't blame those people whose first impression towards ICOs is SCAM. There's a lot of ICOs in the past, but few of them have succeed. And from those which succeeded, only about 5%-10% were actually living it up to their supposed purposes.

Most ICOs today are all about MONEY. The devs will raise an specific amount of money, then after they reached that mark, they will just leave those token/coin holders without any words from them. Another case is that once these holders have received their tokens/coins, they immediately sell or trade these tokens/coins, and will complain if they found themselves having a big loss.

These tokens/coins are supposedly to be hold for long time before trading them in order for its value to rise up, but people nowadays are too greed, and they want to earn immediately, thinking that investing in cryptocurrencies, especially in ICOs, is a fast way to profit.

Hi guys! Can you recommend the airdrop service for  free tokens distribution?

The coins that have potential are not the ones being promoted in websites because they know that they have to have a safe product to use in order to send it out to more people.

So that is why ICO's need to be regulated for our investments to be safe and we don't waste our time participating on their bounties when they suddenly turns out to be a scam along the way. This is why legitimate ICO's with a not so promising project receive less support than those over confident, promising and too good to be true scam projects. Regulating ICO's could lead to the success of legitimate projects due to full support from community and investors out there that are lurking arround for a good opportunity or timing especially in cryptocurrency. There are actually a lot of people tried it and rants about their experiences in a specific ICO's I've some in social medias and forums because it just hit their investments and run. ICO's can be very profitable to us if it is really a legitimate one and can be a waste of time if it is a nonsense or scammy one.

I think you can adjust the ICO of the company. But this is not much profitable.

yeah most icos are risky. some like vector (https://vectorexchange.io)... you never know. but if this pans out how everyone says its going to... I will be RICH

We a something like a real "rating agency" that could be trusted

and a black list of scamers

it's not possible for an individual to track all the new ICOs

Like the internet boom on 1999/2000, many companies picked the 'low hanging fruit' first. This means that all the obvious ways that the internet could improve our lives were snapped up first eg marketplaces (eBay), payment (PayPal), search (Google), Social (myspace). Something similar will happen to blockchain technology where all the obvious ideas will be developed first, allowing a number of strong ICOs raise money. Once all the obvious ideas are taken, the quality of ICO market will slow down as it is much harder to create a unique company that uses blockchain technology that has not been already created.

I think you should go check whats going on at coinlancer they have already raised 11 million$ and there is 30 days left until the ico ends. Just go check it out decide yourself

I think ICO is just like kickstarter in the crypto world. There are scams, but there also also many good projects. More importantly is that people start to think about how to use block chain in real life. Even the project may fail, but it inspires many others. Just like many thing that we have now are just imagination in the fiction in the past.

Yes, in this year more and more ICO emerging. Of course, many ICOs fail and succeed with their respective projects. In this case, an Investor must be prepared with great risks. And ready with profit :) Surely investors should be smart to choose ICO.

Does anyone have an opinion on token metrics? How many tokens should be released for actual usage to prevent crashing a market upon platform launch?

ICO is the most important strategy followed by the owner of coin to popularize his coin in the market then launch this exchange and chances of growth of coin rate  increased by 50 to 60%.

guys - which ICOs are talking about raising capital for getting a banking license?

The requency of ICO's will reduce from now as every ICO is not getting the response what they are expecting.  But it is a blow to even good projects.

Since blockchain technology has become a hundred+ billion dollar industry it is suprising that we don't see even more.  Though of course due to the lack of regulaton there are more scams than normal. While I was in Singapore I met a project called mytime coin ..convertation your time into tokens

I think ICO is the best inovation in the investment industry. It made it easyer for normal people to invest small amount of money and for entrepenous to develop theyre projects. It brought all the planet togheter making it easyer for us to communicate. But like all the eviroment where there are lots of money scums appear and consider ICO theyre honey jar. As well poorly prepared people but with good ideal start projects but fail because theyre are in over theyre head.
Regarding that if you are a serious invester and take youre time to research a project i think you can only win.
Thats why i get only in a ICO a month and with small amounts of money.

Joining ICO is like eating your own balls,theres no guaranteed profit in it,more ICOs are useless but others has a good potential but unsuccessful joining bounty is more profitable than investing in ICOs.

Here is a list of ICOs where you can filter by category and find interesting stats.

Sooo much money in their hands!

Definitely check out Libracoin, super active dev team that is very communicative with their investors.  Investing with them has been a pleasant experience thus far and their project looks rock solid.  Give it a look.

What are the chances doge coin pumps up 10x again in the next few months? looks like 16 sats was the floor for accumulation

I recommend the Gilgamesh (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2162600.msg21654565) Platform, a very innovative project, Gilgamesh is a self-governing, knowledge-sharing social network platform that create a secure, fair, and engaging ecosystem that connects readers, critics, authors, and self-publishing service providers to influence the book industry and remove the role of publishers as the middleman between the flow of knowledge from authors to readers.

There are really many interesting ICO projects that have good ideas and everything is well-written to attract investors. But in fact, further than collecting funds and selling tokens - the project does not go forward and it turns out to be scam. You need to study where to invest in detail.

Anybody in the Cypherium ico? Also, are there any good websites to find icos??

Hi guys i invested in IOTA and NEO. Now i will invest in DIW Token as i believe its a very promising ICO. What is your opinion?

IOTA and NEO was a good choice but about DIW ... well it's kinda risky but it also can fly to the moon so why not?  ;)

There are a lot of swindling projects. That’s true but world of cryprocurrencies is so huge, without the borders that it is possible to find some other ways to earn money doing with blockchain technology.

I see people buy coins at exchanges only because they move. Without any WP reading. This is ridicules.

That's the problem with the ICOs. Why should it be more profitable to bounty, than hardly investing? Just cause you're a Senior-, Legend-, Super-, Hero-, SUPERMARIO-Member here on bitcointalk? That's not relevant for the intrinsic value of a coin.
Because of this, in the near future, we'll not see a trust in crypto from normal people, because everyone wants to get money out of this shit, instead of believing in the idea or the company and their product.

To mitigate risk it helps to choose ICO that have a real product or close to releasing the product.  If they have something you can test and ones you can see video of other people using that helps considerably.  There are so many ICO that are in the planning and development phase that people invest in which have lots of risk.  What if their main developer leaves?  What if they take it easy after getting money from the ICO?  What if another company starts later but still beats them to the market?  You never know, protect yourself and pick ones that have real products finished around the ICO.

yes, most ICO projects last about 30 days.
but for the sake of achieving a project target, it is usually done pre-ICO, it is intended to help the success of ICO.
and if it has not reached its target, ICO will not be canceled but will be postponed and the team will evaluate various conditions for the future ICO to succeed.

Creating an ICO project is very simple because blockchain technology is an open source. I think anyone with knowledge and resources can make their own coin. That is why there are many ICO's in the market.

there are a lot out of there making that method and they are turning to scam and some makes nothing taking some ICO for , you have to make a deep research always make sure that you have some research everything here is must have to be work for nothing is instant.

Some of the ICO's right now is just a scam. Well a lot of them, I think you need to do some investigations first before investing into them.

While there are many ICO projects that are scams, there's no denying that many people get decent profits through ICO (and I am), so it's still worthwhile to choose a good ICO project.

joining a bounty is still the same as inevsting on an ico because bounty campaigns are still ico's and they still need to raise a specific or targeted funds in order for them to pay you for your your efforts but if they dont reach it then that simply means they wont pay you even if you completed the task successively. investing or joining an ico/bounty are indeed pretty risky and cant guarantee or assure you a profit and income so i guess much better if you can just switch on to something legit and trusted but at the same time profitable  like investing on bitcoin and on some promising altcoin like etherium.

Some people think that ICO can make a lot of money, but I still think that ICO is a new time ponzi scheme, so it needs to be treated with caution, even if it can make money.

Yeah, better to be cautious in investing your hard earned money. Some of the ICO's are just wanting to scam their investors.

Ico is a good way to earn a coin with a discounted price but lets be responsible, if we think that coin may a scam just avoid it mate. But some of them also have promising project. Lets just do our own research, buy at you own risk

there are some good ico to invest you just need to make a lot of research

In fairness to good ICO there a lot of good project also who prospher specially thus who has a good functional product and services mate try to look for the ICO or just try to join some local forum they can help you there.

it is true that ICO always appears in many in 1 day, but we have to choose  in choosing ICO and look for ICO with a very good Program and a good Roadmap for the future ;)

There is a lot of ICO's that's true. One way to filter them is to check ICO reviews by Ian Ballina on YouTube - he is an ex. IBM employee and he is really good at choosing good projects. Enigma Catalyst, Kyber Network, Red Pulse, PowerLedger just to name a few that score hight and market price reflecting his choice perfectly.

Another way is to pick up couple ICO's you  like, check their road map and wait until they get to exchange, after a while price will stabilise and in many cases will be a bargain to buy, put it that way, once Tokes are released market will verify how good the ICO really is and you can still buy for a good value price.
A recent project with a lot of hype that just hit exchanges is uTrust - payment system (500 million Tokens) like Monetha (440 million Tokens) I am waiting for a crash now ready to buy.

If there is nothing right now you are interested, just wait.
 

We can say that the ICO problem really exists in this respect. When created tokens enter the market, most of them immediately depreciate tens of times and a significant part of them never again rise. Part of the fault is the investors themselves and other ICO members who are trying to immediately massively sell the received tokens and thereby contribute to their depreciation.

they will always. breed everyday.
much people will attract in all this spread, because they promising money to people that follow it. and it can make them (team that create and offer coin) rich to. they have fund from people that invest on their ico. and it make new and new ico release every time

Yep funding is the source of it why there are 30 produced ICO in a day,  most of it are scams some of it are either successful or not in the future,  choose wisely and give it time to resesrch about the ICO that you are investing and Joining.

Not all ico's scam, in past we have success ico's such as MobileGo, BAT, Aragon. They have provided investors with compelling returns and the opportunity to gain exposure to innovative projects. However, some of these token sales have failed to offer such promising rewards. For now, FastInvest are promising ico which developing a platform that will allow users to invest in P2P loans, as well as provide e-wallet and cryptocurrency exchanges.

I do not agree with you. One and the same idea can be realized in a hundred ways. All people are unique and no one thinks the same. Therefore, there will be projects with similar ideas. There will be competition between them. But if they do not unite, then all these companies will exist. Also new ones will appear. Grow up children who now, I do not know, 10 years. They will come up with something that no one even dreamed of.

MOBILINK Network is the 1st Decentralized Mobile Telecom Provider and has now launched the MOBILINK-COIN, making it the only border-less and decentralized telecom network, using Ethereum Smart Contract based blockchain technology with our unique algorithm to calculate Ad revenue sharing and Proof of Work.

MOBILINK-COIN will eliminate all mobile monthly fees to users, by replacing your current mobile SIM card with a MOBILINK-SIM Card. The revenue that’s currently generated from user’s monthly voice/data service fee will be replaced by revenue from digital advertising. In fact, revenues generated from digital mobile ads per user are forecasted to be more than 235% of mobile monthly fee revenues by 2021. This will allow MOBILINK-Network and its COIN holders to earn more in MOBILINK-COINS than what they would currently pay in monthly mobile service fees.

Hi there, anyone any rough idea if xrp will be added to coinbase soon? if yes then any rough idea how much the price can go higher as in 4 or 5$ or 10$ max ? Thanks

You are lucky if you get 1/10 good ICO nowadays,most of the ICOs are just making money from the investors and then abandon the project.

here I completely agree with you, because almost half of all ico companies are aimed at raising money with the investor. But as a result, all this money disappears with the developers, leaving investors and Bounty participants with a nose.

That is why they all comes with the high capital ICOs in the market. However when the coin lauched in the market or the value in the token sale will be changed to low. That will really bother the ICO investors dude.
Some of the ICO says the fake information and scam the investors badly. That is actual reason for the many people hating to invest on the cheap ICOs.

That's true. You need to be careful when choosing ICO to invest in. Just like Preedax scam.

But there's one good project which might be very successfull if they deliver what they are promising, the Zipper coin.

uhm , you not see any good projects ? let me remind you some dude : hdac , gizer , SWISSBORG , coss and many many others. What are we talking here ? Yes , of course there are some scams project but this is nothing new.

I bought into Crypterium and the ICO collected 45 of 47 million tokens already. Only a few more days now! This is going to be huge! There is still an opportunity to get in.

There are always new ico's everyday some are promising and some are not....  Cus have registered for over 50 ico's for the past few months and have only recieve 18 so far so dats y i say they are not always favourable

Every ICO participation is a risk. Sometimes, I see it as a gamble. Unlike stocks, there are actually no proper checks. Sometimes, all you see is a "copy & paste" whitepaper filled with buzzwords.

Yes, everyday a new ICO appears. Many are scams, but many are also legit ones with teams that set out to solve a real world problem. Best way to find a good ICO is through research of the entire project. Read and scrutinise the whitepaper, look at their teams and LinkedIn profiles, and check out their communication channels. Even then, investing in an ICO is always risky.

ICOs are a relatively new phenomenon but have quickly become a dominant topic of discussion within the blockchain community. Many view ICO projects as unregulated securities that allow founders to raise an unjustified amount of capital, while others argue it is an innovation in the traditional venture-funding model. so they have two sides, but anyway ICOs are good to invest in.

Sometimes? I wish it honestly seems like a lot more than sometimes if I am being honest but there are still some gems out there hidden in the rough. I find it tedious however to try and find these gems, rather wait for them to hit the market and buy securely.

Absolutely agree, most of ICOs are now mainstreamed, but it makes easier to choose right one. We should invest in ICOs with good ideas, and in this case we will know that it will be successful.
 

I think I aso agree with that even that they are some ICO that are being scam they are more ICO coming that are truely make their ICO finished and not to scam those people who are investing to their ICO and maybe that why they are now pursuing more ICO now.

There are a lot of icos who are really serious about their platform and because of that we should not lose our faith to them, Maybe there are also ico who are not continuing their project and some are also scamming their participants so you should also look for manager that is trust worthy for the campaign as well as developers.

Token Sales are a great way to raise revenue. If you look at the project properly and find something which actually has a use case and ability to make money other than through hyped tokens, then investors can make good money too. All the scams are very frustrating for those of use trying to do real projects.. But it's still the wild west at the moment, so can't say I'm not surprised...

if I may suggest you, please join the project daneel.io, daneel.io is the first crypto AI project created to help investors, for details, you can visit the site at daneel.io, and you can see ann thread here https : //bitcointalk.org/index.php? topic = 2376203 (http://https : //bitcointalk.org/index.php? topic = 2376203)

Hi are there any other good ICO crowdfunding platforms other than ICO Box and KickICO?

No need to worry :)

If you know about business, then there is nothing wrong with a lot of projects. The main thing is to go head-to-head with investment and study the project well before investing in it. In general, invest in infrastructure projects, they always grow rapidly.

From the nearest I plan to go to Arcblock.

you're right indeed. Almost everyday new ICO appears, but if you really look at it there are still promising ICOs out there that can give profit and huge amount of earnings to thier participants. We just need to be careful on choosing an ICO, we always have time to read and research before joining, investing in an ICO and by doing that it prevents us from getting scam by cheaters.

There are 21,000 people in the telegram. The number of people is increasing day by day. pre-sale january 22.

My favorite ICO is Sether.This is a new blockchain which will change the whole idea of social marketing.I think you should go see their website www.sether.io .Also they have a huge bonus ongoing dont miss it

I prefer to invest in old and proven ICOs, so I don't risk investing in new projects. That's why my favorite ICO is still Ethereum as one of the most stable and profitable ICO.

This Just started

It’s quite expected that many of these companies have gained interest in investing in crypto currencies through ICO’s. Yes it is quite a hard work for a team to manage an ICO project. But the returns are quite fitting. So their 2 to 3 years of preparation and hard work would pay off. We can expect more and more of these projects to pop up in the coming years.

I'm not entirely sure about that one. But one ICO that caught my attention is Monetize. Their price projection is a bit ambitious, selling for 0,35$ - 2,40$ in several rounds with an estimated 10$ per coin when hitting exchanges in February. If you are able to get in the first round you will definetly double/triple your money, and the referral program is worth the read aswell.

Check it out for yourselves though: https://monetizecoin.io/5a5caac74b5e5

Ethereum was a very successful project, there is not that many coins that can do the same thing as that.
There is still a few ICO's that can make a huge difference inside of ones bank account though.

Daneel – a solution to help anyone who wants to join the crypto markets but does not have as much expertise in the field and seasoned investors alike. Daneel is able not only to see patterns better; it also analyses information at a much larger scale. There form i think this project so valuble in future.
There is a Great Team [Joseph Bedminster (CEO-Founder of Daneel), Selim Rinaz (Chief Technology Officer), Florian Munoz (Chief Operations Officer) and many more 8) ] behind this project. So the Risk is very Low. Pre Sale is over. ICO will start on January 29th,2018. I belive this Project is so valuble in future. Therefore don't miss this chance.
You can do research yourself

(Investing) this makes people addicted to open the project and join ICO, I'm quite concerned about so many want to make the project but failed in the middle of the road because lack of funds.
Actually ICO helps a good project and has a special performance but there are certain parties make this kind of investment to be bad, wait not all bad there are still really have high integrity and have good value you can see my signature is one good ICO example.

It is full of promising projects at the moment, take a look at INS, this project was a very succesfull one that has already increased by more than 25% today, just when it got listed.
It is full of them, maybe you are not paying attention.

I believe KYC Legal is one of the projects with very good prospects and responsible. they have a solid team and a very good product

What are you think about invesing in ICO group of startups?

I heard the KYC is a pretty nice one, they have a nice team and whatever. The only thing I don't like is KYC itself. It's against the decentralized rules of the whole crypto world.

That's why I've chosen CryptF. They have the same quality team and so on but they're doing something that is logical for crypto currency.

Hi guys!

I'm interested in investing in Etcetera because they have a real world use case which is in demand at the moment. They will allow anyone to buy crypto as easily as a gift card!
What do you guys think? Trying to make up my mind about how much to invest.

https://etcetera.ltd/

Yes, today we are dealing with a very large number of IKO. Perhaps many of them will simply leave the market without the implementation of their plans, but we must understand that the development of the blockchain as the direction, is just beginning to enter our daily lives, we are creating a new not lossless! Therefore, only a good analysis or study will help you in choosing the right. But we can't be 100% sure of anything!

I totally agree with you, the rate at with ICOs are coming up is really alarming. One has to be very careful and be patient while choosing one. But this does not mean that all these ICOs are scam, there are some with promising projects but they are very little

This looks promising, Are you going to buy some? I am looking for a new ico at a moment and will be investigating this one.

I think I buy your own opinion about ICOs, the best way to raise funds for startups these days is through ICOs. What we praying for is that the projects they are trying to execute should be more meaningful to the society and be successful.

invest on ICO is like gambling
like gambling but different because is need some analyze about their project
at before I has invest on ETN and AMM success and now try on envion , betterbetting and covesting
I hope will be success again

some of the creators of "newbies" who are trying to deceive people. create supposedly ISO, get the advertising , but people in the end, the reward is not paid. so you need to very carefully choose the bounty company.

Doing ICO is the best avenue to raise funds. As long as the project is viable and really going to deliver what they promise. And the idea has a place in the market. Then it is something that we should support. Love ICO as long it's not a scam of course. :)

yes you are correct.there may several icos and projects per month.majority them are scams and just stop their projects after fund raising.because its very difficult to arrange any legal action against these kind of online thieves. so  its your responsibility to choose only good projects.as example i would like to introduce some good projects you can join in currently/near future
1.CVproof
2.daneel
3.wepower
i f you can read there white papers you can realize that all those project concepts are amazing.from those 3 CVProof is the best project i really like and recommend as No 1.its a project with connect job seekers and human resource managers of companies.CVproof allows companies to easily verify - and in a cost-effective way - whether an applicant holds the validated career credentials needed for the role. It is the first digital CV platform to guarantee full integrity around the credentials at each major career milestone. this is the first time i heard about such a project.so definitely it will end with success.
good luck and hAppy future

Depends on your knowledge of crypto market, luck and analyze skills. ICO is for professionals, if a person new to that market I would advice going bounty campaigns or even airdrops.

There are a lot of resources where you can get up-to-date information about ISO, and I would not trust any bloggers. My favorite is https://www.investopedia.com

While ICOs can be good to put a company with a good product in the path of growth, there are so many of them that are just out to collect money from people and close shop, one has to be careful how to contribute money to ICOs as 80% of them may not be able to deliver anything.

Yes there are so many ICOs coming to this field now. Because there is very less regulation yo the ICO. we also can start ICO and grab some money and leave. there is very careful. if you are going to invest, first research very well.
I'm also researching about ICO. i found good one.
Tradove is great project with superb team.
don't believe my word. you can research your self.
Here the WebSite : https://bbcoin.tradove.com/ 

ico too many popping up every day making it difficult to distinguish ico very good, usually i see the team that is inside ico before joining but as long as the market is still like hell i stop following ico.
I just avoid the increasing losses

If you have much capital to invest to ico, you should split it. Do some research begore you invest. So many good project but dont forget crypto world has a lot of scam project. Be carefull to put you hard earned money. If you hit a good ico you will be rich

2018 is going to be a crucial year for ICOs - but we can't stress enough the importance of doing good research to find for solid ICO projects. We do have a team of 10+ people to do just that on a daily basis.

The more pressing problem here is that many of us here are not careful in participating or investing in ICOs. This a more pressing problem because this is one of the reasons why there are so many ICO scams out there in the market. For as long as some developers believe they can gain money from these careless and irresponsible people, they will make more and more scams. If we could only do our share of inspecting each and every ICO we will be participating in, we will not end up getting scammed and these scammers will gradually go away.

Good project and Yeah theres always new ICO everyday I some promising and really have good whitepapers and had stated their goal very pleasing. I think what making lots of ICO now not having success after their ICO is the competition occuring as many ICO are coming and competing for investors money and fund their project.

I think it depends on the ongoing ICO, if the ICO they offer has a very good project it is definitely very good ico and can be believed.

Actually there are a lot successful project. I was contribute in Copico project then this coin becomes really good Masternode coin. I hold enough number of XCPO to run its masternode. If you want to be a part of successful ICO then you can buy the token of Mobilink or just join it's bounty campaign.

We will discussion the initial coin offering (ICO) investors to cryptocurrencies the features of crypto economics, investment in blockchain, data protection using cryptography and topical mining issues. Particular attention will be paid to ICO: the issue will be covered in one of the reports of the first conference block differences between ICO and venture financing and in a panel discussion, describing the regulation of token sales and strong indications of scam projects.

To reduce the problem, it helps to choose ICO that has a real product or approaches product release. If they have something you can test and consider. There are so many ICOs investing where there are many risks.

Some discussion in ICO is Canadian Financial and Consumer Services Commission warns citizens about an unregistered cryptobank which using fake data to attract potential investors.

New ICO everyday I some promising and really have good whitepapers and had stated their goal very pleasing. I think what making lots of ICO now not having success after their ICO is the competition occuring as many ICO are coming and competing for investors money and fund their project.

Some discussions that I know about ICO is the russian officials suggested that russian investors in digital assets should be allowed to open accounts on foreign cryptocurrency exchanges, as well as to buy ICO tokens from abroad. They also propose lighter ICO regulation.

And as you know gambling is strictly prohibited in many countries. I suppose the war against ICOs that has started recently might give its positive results. We will see only honest teams offering very good projects.

There are many good ICO projects, they are lost among a huge number of scam. I am sure that in the near future the situation will change in the opposite direction and the number of scam projects will be minimal! I recommend a good project to study https://goo.gl/ENu9CL

ICO is really a big topic to be discus but we should conduct our own research in order to enhance our knowledge in this field because this information will help us to make a effective plans.

And most of the company's revenues will not come to investors, but banks, officials, the state and other parasites. Good prospect  :-\

There is always a chance for successful investment. But I think we need to keep calm and not to spend money on every ICO. Your own research is always of great importance!

I need long and meaningful researches for icolar I find it hard to find good icoval anyone wish good luck i hope everyone gets what it wants

ICO is a huge topic to be discuss to be honest but there is a internet that we can used to seek or gather some informations that we can used to enhance and nurture ourselves in order to make a effective and efficient decision in all investing and trading aspects

You have to look harder. I admit that most ICOs would not pass a through test of business efficiency or solidity if you will, but there are many promising ones to invest short term if you know where to find them.

Marinecoin ICO is ongoing ICO with time tested technology since 2013. They distribute almost all pre-mined coins. You can earn 20.000 during Prof of Promotion campaign and you can earn much as you can. Evey day you can do a mini task and earn 20.000 per task. Marinecoin it’s a dev-less coin with a network of MTC that will be maintained by an artificial intelligence called Jarvis, perfect for a machine to machine payment. For details go to https://marineco.in

Yeah, this is a minimum from the checklist of ICO.

many ICOs are not promising this month many projects are failing, we will continue to research about ICO and invest my money there.

If the idea of ICO is too large, then it is unlikely that it will ever be realized in the declared format. If the idea contradicts the law (which many ICO sinning that offer solutions for legal entities), then one must understand that until a legal field is formed, it has no chance of any large-scale implementation. At the same time, when the legal field will be formed, traditional players will come there, with whom it is necessary to clash in the competitive struggle. Who is ready to compete with Microsoft, Oracle, Apple, Samsung? For many startups, the ideal result will be sold after the release of the working prototype. What owners of tokens will receive is a big question.

Promising or not, it will depend on the ICO that we follow. I see that many ICOs are still interesting and profitable to join. Now, they make some legit chances to offer them ready-products. Some are good to follow even some maybe not. But in this case, the results will depend on our decision to join which ICO. Not all ICO is good, and not all ICO is bad. Every ICO has their positive and negative values. This is our majority to understand and research the good ICO. I see some promising ICOs also come with ready-product, ready team, and concept.

Whether promising or not, ico is easiest to earn because you do not need to invest and for me you will not suffer because it actually happens in the past years so still worth it.

The project/business itself is what matters.

ICO is just a form of fundraising, the same like crowdfunding, equity financing, etc...

There are good/bad, successful/not successful project here as well as in any other form of fundraising.

The only problem here in ICOs that it is easier to launch and the backers are mostly not professional investors. So the percentage of low quality and unreal projects that still get backed is higher.

But anyway such projects and bad cases must not cause a negative attitude to all other ICOs...

Just study every single project before investing.

Nowadays, ICO's are very common. You see them all over the internet. The ugly situation is that some of them don't even have any viable project/idea, they only seek public funds to enrich themsleves.
However, some ICO'S are still very good with ideas that can stand the test of time. Many investors have also made reasonable amount of money from it......so, choose the right one.

According to analysis tokens of exchanges give good gains. For example there is lccx.io (http://lccx.io) - looks like promising exchange based in London.  Well developed white paper, experienced team, located in politically stable jurisdiction.

It seems like they really focused on responsibility - the exchange features are addressing the services people use in stock exchanges: keeping most of the funds in cold storage + insuring all funds in hot wallets, being regulated etc, their unique features listed in "About" section, seems really engaging to be adopted by many users: keeping 60-75% of client funds safely offline in cold storage vaults and insuring clients online funds against hacks - seems quite interesting for many investors.

in my opinion, ICO is always new every day there are promising and really have a good whitepaper and have stated their goal is very fun. I think what makes many CIOs now unsuccessful after their ICO is the competition that happens because many ICOs come and compete to get investors' money and fund their projects.

Here's a promising ico:
Merculet creates the User Attention Value (UAV) evaluation system to scientifically measure the value of a user’s attention. An entrepreneur can simply access the UAV system, which can seamlessly integrate with traditional reward-point systems, through a set of open protocols.
Merculet provides a full solution to help entrepreneurs issue UATs (User Attention Tokens), which is the designated tokens for each entrepreneur. The UAT will be anchoring the basic MVP token with different rates, enabling the synergy and the value exchange between entrepreneurs.

Hello all, In my opinion the best atlcoin project is marinecoin. Why is it a coin of artificial intelligence?

- very nice ico without big investment. Marinecoin Received 20,000 free coins to the first 20000 during ICOI want to share the new ICO for this crypto currency Marinecoin.

Payment System in Internet Artificial Intelligence (AI) of Things (IoT). time dilution technology. time dilution technology - artificial intelligence - self sustaining - community - fair distribution - iot It has its own exchange and charges low, its blockchain is 500% faster than Bitcoin, which is a big deal for trading or buying items. Check out their website: marineco.in

Although I am collecting various gifts from various ICOs and I have many coins, most of them are worthless and some of them are never listed in any exchange.

I don't think so. Because if you want fight against system, which prohibited ICO, you need a lot of money. Who have a lot of money? Scammers.

Good list! I also invested in ITO NagriCoin. They produce organic fertilizers and launched ITO for the improve production site and capacity.

I think if we want an infest in ICO and capital is not a little better we buy when entering the market only, because of the big risk, the criteria that mention is not a guarantee ico is a success. There are many examples.
It's true that if we buy more profitable ICO let alone PRE ICO, it's a successful project.

If I think, I would rather invest in an old and proven ICO, so I do not risk investing in new projects. That's why my favorite ICO is still Ethereum as one of the most stable and profitable ICOs. And what we need to pay attention is to carefully choose ICO, we always have time to read and research before joining, investing in ICO and by doing that prevents us from fraud by fraudsters.

I fully agree with you , every day there are more and more ICO projects, but only a few of them are normal ...the bulk of the scammers

And what is more interesting, obviously-scam projects attract more backers than real projects!

Look at $600m+ scam case in Vietnam (https://tuoitrenews.vn/news/business/20180409/vietnamese-cryptocurrency-scam-allegedly-deceives-thousands-to-swindle-660mn/45001.html) - who can still bring own money to the project promising 40% monthly?..
From a thousand km smells like financial pyramid...
Well, over 30,000 backers...

It is crazy....

so you are confused to determine what ICO is the best, I think you can see it at https://icobench.com/icos from there you can get some of the best ICO and have a rating that is given from some reliable advisors, not only that there is also equipped KYC features for CEO or founder of ICO which means they are genuine, not just fake ICO.

Yes to many ICOs Apare everyday.. To many discussions  and rule when ico begin!  And you need to follow the ico  rules so you can investment easily!!

Given that this forum is intended to share ideas, I would have appreciated if you share your knowledge expertise of how to make research on ICOs so as to make right choices.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3083304 - what do you think is wrong with this ICO? I'm inclined to think that like a good project, but I would like to know your opinion.

That's why we must do analysis about the ICOs and see the review of another users who learn more about the ICOs projects, unfortunately mostly of investors doesn't like read the whitepaper of ICO and they don't want read the review even though it is free, we don't need to pay for do research of ICOs but the people doesn't do that and in the ends they blamed the ICOs due to their careless when investing in ICOs.

Will anyone get FOTA on Kucoin today? Or is it too late already?

The high premium of ICO lies in creating a huge user imagination market, and cashing it out in advance in the form of a token sale. For high-quality community projects, ICO itself is good.

Hello!
This is true. Last time a huge number of new projects. And if you want invest you have to spend a lot of time for this.
I can spend 5-7 days for some project. Because if I decide to invest in it I have to learn a lot of documetns and new things, investigate market, product, team, advisors and other.

Yeah, so many ICOs pop out every day. there are many scams and good projects. ICO became a very easy way to collect fund. They need only gain popularity. with it, they can collect a good amount of investor. Some projects start with big marketing stuff. but after few months It completely became abounded. I personally prefer long roadmaps. It allows the project runs for a long time.  Long roadmaps are one of the main points I consider with others.

Since you created this post things have not gotten that much better, a number of icos can appear in a single day and yet most of them are going to be just recycled projects without anything new, this means that you need to be very careful about where you invest your money, things are so bad that many people have decided to stop investing in icos.

Yes, we must first know about the rules and regulations of the ICO, so we will be new investment will not understand the rules you can lose money because of misunderstanding. In my view this market seems risky, so I'm less involved, I just joined the strong coin on CMC.

This Project looks promising. We hope for the success of the team and the community supporting this project, and we hope that it will last a long time. Good luck to the project!

There are still many good and promising ICOs.

I am absolutely with you here. To find a good ICO is hard and to get good profit from it is somehow even harder. Lets hope for the best

I am a modern person who is interested in all the innovations offered to us by internet space, so when I learned about ICO Vireo I decided to find out more about this project. And I was impressed! One of the most successful ICO in 2018!Check it!

The rise of ico launch is misused by irresponsible parties to exploit ico as a money field. The accumulated funds were not used to develop the project but were carried away.
But I see until now there has been no firm action for the scam ico. Even so ico is still a prima donna for investors and bounty hunter, so Only we ourselves should be careful in following ico so as not to risk.

so to minimize the risk before investing in ICO we must first do analysis and review of the ICO project.
Before investing in ICO the first thing we do first is to conduct and look for some reviews on ICO / Initial Coin Offering, starting from the credibility of the project founder team, studying the white paper on his website, knowing the roadmap. It is also important that we must learn and understand is how the fundamentals of the project, for that we can learn it from some video review about the project on youtube.

Good for you but i don't think choosing everything isn't good, you should select only the good one and invest the best you can do into them is much more better.

ICOs and airdrops are good. But you should invest in some safe projects, don't invest in all  ;D

Yes it's that there are lots of ICO appearing almost everyday. Most of them are not realistic of their ideas and concept. But, there are some which are feasible and have higher chances of getting into operations. If you are an investor be sure to study them before investing.

You have to be picky and do your research with hundreds of ICOs to choose from. EOT (aka EON) ICO is a good upcoming one. Check its website in my signature for more details.

We all have figured it up. If the project is something seem very ambitious like developing train from one city to another, it might obviously be scam. Not judging all but you have to check the backgrounds of the team members and advisors, if it doesn't add up then its something that you have to avoid. Most of the ICOs these days however are not very friendly. There's KYC and they don't distribute the tokens after a week, sometimes it took months which is not good at all.

Nowadays, all things you can see from the ICO projects are only the data on paper.
The promise? The future? The first? Etc. I do not trust anything.
Many ICO projects have the same idea, but almost the ICO projects are the failure.
For me, at the moment, someone spending money to invest into ICO like the gambling, because the risk of this field is very high!

With the current situation in the market, good projects will not go to the ICO, because they know that they will not be able to raise money

In the event that you have much money to contribute to ico, you should part it. Do some exploration begore you contribute. Such huge numbers of good undertaking yet dont overlook crypto world has a ton of trick venture. Be carefull to put you hard earned cash. On the off chance that you hit a decent ico you will be rich

a lot of ICO projet losing trust from investors,,
and this is why a lot ICO failed now,,
we should understand this situations and if want to invest in ICO project we should doing a research carefully

Yeah, it's all true that ICO today is seems unpredictable to rise up but this would be a learnings every time we choose
the best ICO, next time to avoid one of those campaign but for you to be victimized make it sure you have to be picky in choosing ICO, and do research a lot.

ICO is the most efficient form of calling, and we are able to reach out to relatively distant investors around the world.
The ICO will offer a certain amount of coin and launch the market with its development project and attract the investors into its project. From then on I will have the budget to continue investing in my project.

But I also think if we want infest in ico and capital is not a little better we buy when entering the market, because of the big risk, the criteria mentioned are not guaranteed ico is a success. There are many examples. It is true that if we buy a more profitable ico let alone pre ICO it is a successful project.

there is always new ico the been published everyday and some of them have a good white paper and they dicuss it with a goal and deliver it with pleasing personality. i think that making a lot of ICO will make it not succes after thier ICO is a competition with another ICO and fighting for good money investor to make their ICO a succes and fund their project

I prescribe the Gilgamesh Platform, an extremely imaginative task, Gilgamesh is a self-administering, information sharing interpersonal organization stage that make a protected, reasonable, and drawing in biological community that associates perusers, pundits, writers, and independently publishing specialist organizations to impact the book business and expel the part of distributers as the broker between the stream of learning from writers to perusers.

Thats why we need to invest to Projects that are already in the market and support their ICO for preparing to adopt blockchain technology same as Trustedcars one of the trusted car dealership platform in Germany and won a prestigious used-car award the Gebrauchtwagen for best customer experience
they also provide services of car rentals with no long term contracts which is highly suitable for users who wants to swap other cars to be used ! I hope this helps you Just always invest to Company that are already in the industry to avoid scams !

i think is a good and bad news, the good news is that the amount of ico that comes out every day is always increasing, which means that crypto has been used a lot.
the bad news is because so many ico so it can be ascertained that there are only people using crypto as fraud/scam.
be wise in invested.

in term of what, if in marketcap of course ripple is better because it take no 3 position and tron in 11, but in technology i think tron is better, you can see the achievement. from release tron about 1 year ago he grow fast and already make 5000% profit i guess.
it just my opinion.

I love your courage and you will soon be a billionaire. Almost all the billionaires out there once took such risks. People tends to turn away from cryptos after their first lost. I think this is because they come into this business thinking it is so easy.

We can state that the ICO issue truly exists in this regard. At the point when made tokens enter the market, a large portion of them instantly deteriorate several times and a noteworthy piece of them never again rise. Some portion of the blame is simply the financial specialists and other ICO individuals who are attempting to promptly greatly offer the got tokens and in this manner add to their deterioration.

I also hope to receive information about a potential ico

I am now more focused on trading, rather than having to worry about choosing a good ICO
at least with big coin trading, I avoided the street SCAMMER
I am waiting for ICO to be popular again as of 2017 yesterday

Actually there are many ico but not very effective

I really appreciate your research on the current development of ico, and it is true that there are now lots of new ico's that have sprung up, but not accompanied by the ico quality that is commensurate with the majority of ico's current poor quality although the ico seems good, and even now many ico, which ended in a scam, it was what made it difficult to determine which ico was good and which was ico bad

The ICO is currently down in terms of the ICO-owned Project. Indeed, every day the projects in the ICO appear and most of them are projects that are Scam, it will be very difficult to distinguish which is really a Scam and which is not. from the beginning there were already many who were deceived and felt aggrieved in the ICO. that causes the ICO image to deteriorate and it is predicted that next year the ICO will die.

Today, too many ICO projects, it is difficult to choose promising, and often "shoot" those projects from which I did not expect anything

Yes ICO now multiplies with great speed, but really now it is very difficult to determine really good ICO, choose ICO with a good product.

I really like OSA DC! Great platform that has potential to change retail market and they have big partners like Coca-Cola and Danone!

People, now the market is falling very much, but I hope that such projects as OSA DC will elevate it again

One project can not change the situation in the market. The only thing that can change the market is the growth of digital gold - bitcoin.

Those are two different things. Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, it cannot do anything without a solutions or implementations. OSA DC is a solution in this case.

What does this project do? Yesterday I saw something about this on Twitter, but didnt pay much attention

I observed that also. Many ICO everyday thats why its difficult to look for an ICO that have potential after the launch. Many scammers are using ICO to eran money maybe thats why everyday we see different ICO that dont have potential. We just need to be more careful on investing to ICO if your a bounty hunter you also need to have extra patience indealing with bounty mananger and the company itself. I think we should have atleast a regulation to scan the scammers and the real company.

We completely trust a person, the actual price from along with ICOs tend to be approaching is actually worrying. 1 needs to be careful and become individual whilst selecting One. However this particular doesn't imply that each one of these ICOs tends to be the rip-off, there are several along with guaranteeing tasks however they are extremely small.

If you don’t see any promising projects yet, then it is better for you to hold your money and not invest in useless projects that will never pay off. Some of these ICOs are not even for real and they are just pure scam. So always do your best to avoid them, if you don’t see anything promising in it, then avoid it. ICOs are not the only ways you can earn, there are lots of other ways you can invest your money in crypto.

There’s a lot of ICO that trusted to the public but at the same time there’s also the times that the scammers are spreads out in this business because of the lot of opportunity of earning of income.

There are a lot of scams now, if you do not have enough experience, you should not invest in ICOs, because they can take away all of your capital, so be careful.

Unfortunately recently there are too many useless ICO who are trying to suck money out of us. I am very grateful to those guys who help expose scammers and save our money.

I think cryptassist was a very successfull ico

There are so many ico's now and you should choose the good so that your time will not be wasted. Teams now are working hard to make a big success in their project and the community will also benefit on that. Thankful for the reward we received.

ICO discussion that they called is like a open forum that discussing what ICO they are and also this forum is useful and helpful to the beginners or newbie to be familiarized in this kind of business.

Maybe it's a fact when everyone wants to have Bitcoin because Bitcoin is now very interested.

Maybe they also want to be the best in the cryptocurrency business.
But in terms of SCAMER I can't deny it because 70% of ICOs are full of them

I would suggest to all people who are looking for good ICOs visit www.icoguide.com and look there, rates at the platform are not paid and are real.

Yes, there is always a new ICO every day, I promise and really have good posts and have said that their goals are very pleasant. I think that what makes a lot of ICO now without success after their ICO is the competition that occurs as many ICOs are coming and competing for investors money and funding for their projects.

Soar This is an interesting project with strong team. Thanks to the professional activities of the team members, ICO participants have every reason to trust a successful project. https://soar.earth/

That's correct, and there are so many ICO that are in the planning and development phase that people invest in which have lots of risk. What if their main developer leaves? What if they take it easy after getting money from the ICO?  What if another company starts later but still beats them to the market? You never know, protect yourself and pick ones that have real products finished around the ICO. Good luck.

Disclaimer!!!: This is not a financial advice or anything that can give you a 100% profit. However, all of the stated post there is all just my opinion and based on my experience in looking for possible potential ICO. I suggest that you ask for help to some legal financial adviser within your area.

Hello there for Looking for an ICO, I consider these 4 things:

1. Team Profiling, take a look at their team legitimacy or some proof of experience within the team.
2. Whitepaper, Yes Indeed there's some project copying or creating a project knowing that there was an existed one. But before anythingelse or doing some conclusion. Take a look at first if they proposed something new, Innovations, Community Benefits that is different from an existed one.
3. Do some research if the company or the ICO project has some legal papers holding. This pretty much give you much assurance that they won't scam anyone. Or maybe you can can ask some help to any legal or financial adviser to identify if it's legit or not.
4. Healthy and active community.
5. And Look for a project that has MVP.  :)
Anyway what is MVP? A minimum viable product (MVP) is a development technique in which a new product or website is developed with sufficient features to satisfy early adopters. The final, complete set of features is only designed and developed after considering feedback from the product's initial users.

And I'm glad to Announce that I've found a project that obtain these 5 things I shared. Republia ( RPB Coin). Republia is now under going their Pre-sale and soon to reached the softcap. Republia has it's own blockchain consensus, it is functioning on RdPoA consensus algorithm. It means that every user in our ecosystem and blockchain has to be identified to start the mining process and you do not have to use large mining farms. All that you need is to have the Republia ID and PC/smartphone or other devices. And they have a respective and high reputation teams and advisers that's indeed an assets to an healthy and great project : Take a look at here in their whitepaper page 66 : https://media.republia.io/republia-whitepaper-en.pdf
And for the MVP republia offer this as well,
MVP strategy of Republia focuses on testing hypotheses, but not on the
reducing functionality for the sake of a cost-saving measure. All products in the
early stages will be integrated into the system on the basis of reviews of the first
users.
Republia Foundation uses the following products to test viability of different
solutions:

1. Bank
2. Wallet (Messenger)
3. Smart-contract platform
4. Voting
All the complete details you can find it here: https://media.republia.io/republia-whitepaper-en.pdf

In Republia Blockchain 400 million RPB coins will be available in total.
65% of the total number of coins is allocated to the genesis block and will be
available when the network starts operating.
The reserve of Republia Bank is 20% of Total Supply. This amount of funds
will provide users with functional system, which will be able to operate during
specified time. 260 million coins are available for mining.

And this is one, caught my attention. Republia team wanted to give a transparency to their perspective Investors. Cause the RPB coins holdings of Republia team are frozen for 2 years and RPB coins of advisors are frozen for 6 months after the end of the PUBLIC SALE.

So all in all, Republia obtain all of these 4 things that I have stated above. And for me in my own opinion Republia is great and will be successful soon. They laso have a healthy and large active community. You can participate it here: https://t.me/republia_official

Stablecoins seems more attractive ,tether,trueUSD...
https://www.coindesk.com/binance-polychain-back-32-million-tmon-crypto-stablecoin-terra/

with so much existing ICO project, it is especially appropriate if there is discussion on the project of ICO. However, most of the discussion that I think not so much help. And this is very unfortunate for me.

Today is indeed a growing number of ICO where the developers just want to earn some money. and do not want to develop with serious their ICO project. I think this is all caused because there are no clear rules about how the ICO. and this is causes many investors get disadvantage and many investors also already did not trust to invest in ICO projects.

if you want to discuss about ico , you should join into official telegram channel.in that group admin and other member help you to understand about project.

somebody had same idea with you that he actually created a forum about ICO which is this one icoforums.net. They did a signature campaign marketing here and made users post in their forum, the admin pay well with ETH but their campaign participants as far as I know scammed him. There were accusations to admin also about the contest he did on their forum. But I think given a time, he could have good success if the forum is managed well. ICO is not going to end, there are more businesses that needs to be tokenized if they want to be in blockchain.

Mostly ICO will die after 3-6 months. But some others are really great.
If you could not find any good ICO, I think you should re-consider your evaluation criteria or you can check some ICO compare/review blog/group.

OSA DC reached 93% hard cap

Looks like I didn't waste my money  ;D

Are there any tokens left for sale?

Yes, 7%. ICO end tomorrow 00:00 pst.

ICO will continue to work in any case. Half a year later they will start startups. To the level of "success" only 10% will survive.

Hard cap does not guarantee that the project will be really successful! For example, the project worldwifi, he also collected a hard cap, but now trades on the exchange at a price 25 times less than the ICO.

Now more and more people are using the ease of technology to do business whether it is real business or just playing games, but so far no one has been able to achieve great success even though they can reach many investors because the market conditions are not very good, of course, which is very influential for tokens just registered on the market, only a few ICOs can break the $1 price even though the ICO price is close to $1.

As we know that theres no guaranteed profit in it, more ICOs are useless but others has a good potential but unsuccessful joining bounty is more profitable than investing in ICOs. but if we want to minimalize the risk in here, we have to pay more attention about the ICO that we participate. So that we know that that ICO is good grow in the future mate, Right? Any though?

Agree, but why I do believe in OSA DC is that in my opinion they have fully working solution, strong team, both solid development business and product plans, constantly holding a lot of meeting with investors, target audience.

Btw, 97% hard cap reached so far, 11 hrs left.

i think there are way too much ICO-s nowadays and a lot of them are just scams, it's because ICO is still a really good way to collect money for like anything. Sadly i don't think it will change in the near future

They are holding a VIP event right now in Tokyo and planning to announce token sale results there. So I guess no tokens will left in a few hours.

I'm looking forward. Nice to see that this project is known there.

Thanks for the information. I almost missed an interesting project.

I'm sure that it will be sold out soon. Good luck to OSA!

I have no idea about that OSA DC project but if they are going ot be listed on exchange later on, I'd just but from the exchange once I learn its really going to be a strong project. As of now most ICO project are not releasing tokens as early as after the ICO ended.  It looks like they are going to be waiting for what might happen later on. Probably a fork of BTC and ETH to which they want to receive more forked coins before spending money for he listing to the exchanges.

There is an upcoming ico called CCORE - Crypto Payment Platform. I read a lot about this project and would like to invest in it. This allows people with passwords to spend them on various fiat-based online services and stores without losing value on the exchange.

ICO discussion is all about discussing what are the details that the beginners or newbie that will be needed to be easily familiarized to what this kind of business all about and also to help them to gain knowledge.

Unfortunately today there are many scammers who only want to raise money. Therefore, we must be very careful. However, I think everyone is waiting for the adoption of laws at the level of legal support.

VEE from Suny King of peercoin is ICO.
The project use a SPOS,a more centralized supernode Proof of Stake as consensus.

With experience, you will learn to distinguish promising projects and understand that good ICOs is much more than you think. Investing in ICO is a great opportunity for each of us to multiply money, but you need to be well versed in this area.

Stablecoin is now popular.

ICO is currently not as some time ago. currently making ICO just impressed the origin only and does not have a definite conviction so that the concept and the purpose are also affordable so clearly. even many of the ICO that appear every day the scam also were many of them and this certainly makes the ICO also has a pretty bad.

I hope that with the tightening of KYC, it will reduce the level of fraud from ICOs, so that we investors become safer in investing. My advice is not to be easily lured by the big bonuses offered, moreover it seems illogical

This is a new blockchain which will change the whole idea of social marketing. I think you should go see their website www.sunx.io.
Also they have a huge bonus ongoing dont miss it.

Yh sure, there are now good strategies that have been put in place to ensure that ICOs are viable. It is really getting better as compared to previous months in this year 2018.

Yes, it's for sure that there are a lot of them, so it's dangerous, they open and close as quickly as they open, so you need to be very careful

I like ICO Media Protocol because it is a platform that can directly compensate content creators for their work, without any middlemen taking a cut or collecting private data. The MEDIA protocol is a SDK that programmers can use to create decentralized apps. For example, i tested CryptoCatnip has already been created using the platform. They released its own MEDIA token which will serve as the sole currency used in the ecosystem of apps built using the platform.

I can't see any worth participating project as well. I watched mono ico and ico drops and they have some suggestions, but i don't want to bet on new projects during bloodbath

I entirely accept an individual, the particular fee with together with ICOs are usually coming is absolutely mind-boggling. A single must be cautious and stay affected person although picking a single. Yet this kind of will not signify every one of these ICOs is usually a con, there are a few together with encouraging jobs nevertheless they have become tiny.

I agree. Many ICOs are released that's why one must always be careful on where to trust. It all comes down to your thorough research. You shouldn't forget to check first the team behind the project and its whitepaper. It would be so much better too if they can show a working product for added assurance of the ICO's success.

Yeap situation at the market is not very good, but still if you will follow the new projects you might discover some good ideas, I would suggest to look at www.icoguide.com rates, they have not paid rates, so it will help to notice good idea,.

Here are some tips to which might help to select ICO: https://icoguide.com/en/blog/choosing-an-ico-common-pitfalls-of-scam-icos

As long you see value in the project and it’s team members, and you do your research on the market etc you could end up doing very well, and making good connections along the way.  :)

A working product right away isn't always necessary though but I agree that it would definitely entice more investors if they can show at least a minimum viable product.

The main problem is that many unprofessional investors want to get rich fast and usually invest in scam icos offering 1000x without any economic basement.

ICO investing should have the same approach like traditional investing, cryptocurrencies are still your money, remember it before throwing them away...

yes that is true, almost the average ico who arrived using the innovations offered by many ico before. this is why there are many ico who failed to break the sales price. on the other hand, most ico just want to get money quickly and easily. I think regulation can be a counterweight

there have been so many ICOs in cryptocurrency and still growing even though there have been the same innovations before but still leaving the ICO with the same innovation, I think in the future the ICO will be removed from cryptocurrency because there will be more and more ICOs that only take advantage and never running their project (scam).

There is new project's regulating ICO's, making them much more reliable like ICOVO, Loligo, W12.. Soon ico's will be conducted only on such platform's, because it's profitable for investors and for project's (ico's). These platforms making fraudulent ico's impossible.

You do not need to worry because the crappy projects will not be able to collect a penny. Now you can see a lot of ICO but only worthy will receive investments.

Yes. I see many ICO projects on Bitcointalk every day. But to tell the truth. Few really valuable projects exist. They usually raise money or come for fraud. ICo is receiving supervision. Please invest in the compliance ICO project.

I am also concerned about this condition, but we cannot do anything, we can only see when the ICO enters this forum. The choice is to buy the Token or get it with a Bounty

Many fraudsters have been activated because there was an easy money that is not controlled properly from here and the amount of questionable quality of projects.

I've not seen profitable projects for ages. My last profitable project was credits. I gained 5x and it was awesome.
Now I don't see big opportunity in upcoming ICOs

After credits was another good (with regards to profits) project - MVL. But TS raised the question of the quality of the project as a whole and not about how much we earned by participating in the bounty campaign.

You know what makes me laugh the most? This is what projects can increase the duration of the ICO until the last moment. It can last six months.

 LOLIGO is the only obvious choice.

Promising projects are a rare good right now, Scams are everywhere, but it's not too difficult to avoid them.
It's more difficult to know if an ICO is a success or not because not every legit project will be successful. There are many projects which startet optimistic and looked promising but failed later. Only a few percent are very good ones.
And yes, I see also not planned extended sales very concerning.

Most ICOs are built for fraudulent purposes only. You need a bit of skill to analyze the ICO.
It is best to do the bounty of the famous BM
The bounty reaches a soft cap or nears the hardcap gain.
Bounty has a good DEV team
good partner, web traffic is okay.

Can you write me private messages in more detail about these platforms. I would be interested to study them. I'm already tired of cheaters.

The problem is that every day there are too many new projects that do not make any sense. Some of them are also created in order to deceive investors.
Do not need so many projects. Need to stop it.

currently there are many web ico rates so I think this will helps a little to determine whether the ICO is promising or not. On the other hand, because there are many investors who are often deceived by the scam ICO I think now investor can determine and make their own analysis. So even though every day there are 30 new ICO I think it is not difficult to filter it

At the moment we are faced with such a problem. High offer but very low quality. Finding a quality project is comparable to finding a needle in a haystack.

Are you sure you have been able to do your research well, to conclude that out of the whole 39 that came in a day, there is none that is genuine. Although it can be possible, but that is difficult to conclude, which is why it will be good you consult others and get what their opinion is.

Many Ico are launching on different functions and needs. We just only find good ico's that will surely be beneficial on the industry and on us. That is why we need extensive background research to filter out some good ico's in the many ico's that are launched daily.

It is impossible to find a promising project in advance if you do not communicate with people who are closely related to this field of activity. As a regular user, I try to minimize my risks and try to participate in bounty campaigns. But to choose a project, I analyze it according to several criteria. For example, I study its purpose, white paper, development team. This does not give a full guarantee, but reduces the risks.

yes, especially for now
there are even many ico that don't survive in the long progress going forward.
we cannot avoid this phenomenon, especially very difficult to find ico that is really promising and good. there are many ico today who use the same ideas as previous ico especially in the financial field.

Really profitable projects do not conduct bounty companies, because they already have large external investors, and they don’t want to pay extra funds for inefficient bounty. Over the past 8 months, only such projects have been growing after the listing. Unfortunately, there are very few such projects.

really a very concerned situation to see the number of ICOs circulating, but not accompanied by the number of new investors coming.
therefore many ICOs that have good potential fail, due to lack of initial funding to develop their projects.

It seems to me that you are inattentive, because from septeber i have found a bunch of good projects, and took part there as a bountyhunter and as an investor. My current projects is good too

Yes you are right, but I think that the situation will change soon, because the SEC was very careful to look at start-UPS!

indeed there are some good ICOs, but I am also concerned if I see a comparison of the numbers ... between the good and the not, many ICOs fail, and I am disappointed these days.
I hope there will be natural selection so that there will be good ICO left and more qualified organizers and more interested people.

ICO becomes bad because of shit and scam projects, and the blockchain infrastructure is not good enough, hardcaped project can not delivery good working project. Beside of exchange projects and dapps platform projects, i have not seen any projects which can offer what they had drawn in their whitepaper, what they promised when running ICO.

And this is true, quite good projects still exist. And what's more, now it has become easier to recognize them, obviously weak projects or a frank scam simply do not enter  the to market. So, a weak market helps to weed out such projects, which only take part of the capitalization, but have no benefit.

I think there is no need to worry about this because investors will not buy tokens of useless ICOs. The only thing that is difficult because of this things is to look for decent and reliable projects.

Having 30 in day is huge. Although, i have not seen them to poop in as much as that. Truly ICOs are increasing and sometimes, it can be difficult to decipher between a genuine one and a scam ICO. The worst part of it is p, if you begin to do research on the projects you see and you begin to find out that most of the ones you have seen are scam. Then, at that point, you get discouraged.

Yes, it's true. However, if the useless ICO projects raise funds, then the cryptocurrency market will throw out such tokens anyway, since they will not be in demand. Therefore, there is no need to worry about a large number of ICOs, only promising ones will survive, and this is very good for the development of cryptocurrency.

I don't know why people aren't considering ICO a good idea.
There few projects you need to check out before saying anything about ICOs, analyze before you judge.When you are looking for a project you need to know what you're looking for, but in my opinion the strongest factors for a project are their investors,their strategy/target,thier team,what they have yo offer etc, but as the market is down the factor that will make the difference is "the investors".

There are still some diamonds left on this market, you just need to search better. You should investigate 100 ICOs and maybe you will found a legit one. It is getting much harder to find a great project on this market, but it is still possible.

Many new ICOs that appear are certainly very good and make Crypto more developed. However, many projects have emerged and there have been many failed projects or scam projects. In this case, many people will be harmed because they lose money and time. But we also have to be smart in choosing the ICO project. You can choose projects based on products, ideas, and teams behind them.

Well, now the quantity is many times higher than the quality of the projects and they are created mainly in order to simply collect money and not develop further.

Yes you are right here. I will also say today's bad condation of crypto market is also responsible for that kind of bad ICOs. Everyday too many ICOs is coming in forum that maximum has no potentiality to market. Maximum team management do not know how well ICO have to be manage. So maximum ICOs are doing fail and peoples making negative impact about crypto industry. I think forum management should think about this to save forum for future.

If you are in this world for quite some time, you will see ICOs/pre-ICOs that are going to make a difference,that will have success on the market.You've got a good point there about the impotant factors for a project.Im really glad to say I have found a pretty interesting project that is developing towards the gaming area.Combining crypto with games is pretty smart I must say, that's "Ludos" (a blockchain infrastructure project).
Check them out, thier stratagey, and what they are actually targeting. (http://ludos.one)

The problem is there're too many projects appearing everyday an it's just impossible to analyze them all. That's why ICO raitings platform have appeared, but now we see that they don't help, and sometimes they even make the situation more confusing, giving controversial raitings to same projects.

These sites like ICObench, etc are all paid and experts on them are just random guys who know nothing about crypto and blockchain. I know that ICOs just pay for good raitings on thses sites, and that's the only thing that we can check through them: teams' ability to pay (it may be useful for bounty hunters haha).

Indeed there're too many projects appearing everyday, but you can focus on what you expect from an ICO, like the theme of the ICO, you might reduce the number and would be a lot easier.
For ex: Personally, I am a game addict and I am looking for this kind of ICOs
And a lot more examples, if this makes any sense.

I can suggest you one, if you're interested of course you can check it out, if not its fine.I ran over it randomly and its pretty interesting.
Ludos its called (http://ludos.one), they look promising and they have pretty good strategy and strong investers.
I'll give them a chance I've been following them for 3 weeks.I want to invest few ETH, but I am holding myself at the moment, to see how they are developing,
I think we should give those small projects with strong investers a chance, maybe it will be something good in the end.

I try to check all the projects entering the market, and I'm a bit sad. Firstly, there're only 120 ICOs per month instead of 300 ones as earlier. Secondly, most of them are useless, only 5-7 projects are worth our attention.

Yes you are right. Actually doing some ico need too much responsibilites because with doing a ico you are collecting investors hard earned money for creating amazing thing and these people investing in that ico with some hopes about profits. But these days ico creators using icos only a
fast way to collecting money and they are not doing anything for their projects.
