There are a lot of people saying that ICO's are scams. Well, I believe that if you do your research you can get a good profit from an ICO. Do you think it is the right time to invest now? Especially in November when there are many ICO launches.
In your opinion, what is the best ICO to invest in? Please justify why.

The optimal time would be the very start as they begin normally or just before the initial hype starts. You can normally tell this by looking at their project and whether it's copy and paste code or it's a unique project with worth.

Not always. Your strategy works only if the project work. If the project was originally conceived as a Scam then you have no chance to recover their investments initially. To distinguish the scams from promising projects very difficult. May be for this reason that many governments want to ban ICO.

A lot of people are saying about icos are scam but another people said that icos were really profitable. But that depends on the personal opinion regarding the ico itself. You must see some coin just like maidsafe or even ethereum. It makes sense to see about those are investing dozen money in the ethereum already taken a very huge profit from there.
The best ico is the project that already released the product. at least alpha to the public.

Thank you. I also believe that the project is crucial when it comes to ICOs

You are right, it depends on the personal opinion of course. I was thinking about ethereum too. I will search more on maidsafe

I don't know about the best one, but with the profit from BitConnect and Regal, I think BitSerial has a high chance to yield some profits. You can use my username as a referral if you invest. I am not saying it's a good project, I am not saying it's not a ponzi, maybe it is. I, myself, am not going to invest in the lending, just the token/ICO.

Very interesting. I will def search for it. Thank you for the advice

I find really interesting read about November's ICOs - http://bitguru.co.uk/november-top-icos/ (http://bitguru.co.uk/november-top-icos/)
I do not really understand what  Gladius is about
But confideal and dmarket looks good. Gaming industry is hyped now, and i think it's the best time to invest in
And smart contracts could move blockchain technology to the new level

I think xauram gamma and xenio are two ICOs i would really recommend you to invest in. XAURAM is a very unique project and has a very very strong team which makes it a promising ICO to invest in. XENIO, on the other hand is one the most popular project available in the market right now. The project raised more than a million in first hour of pre sale and is still performing pretty well. The project can really grow in the future.
INDAHASH is another project you should surely have a look at. The project is based upon the idea of marketting and advertising and has some really big clients like coca cola. It's a project which can surely show growth in the future.

You can invest anytime when you find a legitimate ICO. It ensures a great profit if the project is legitimate and the team manages the project right. I am now in a campaign of a project which is legitimate. There are few other ICOs out there where you can make an investment and earn a great profit. Just pick the right one.

Thanks guys! I will research these ones too. Especially their projects!

if I think the right time and good when I want to invest is, when the pre-ico project is a lot of interest, for example UAHPAY and HACKEN

really what you say, that seeing the truth about a scam or not an ico project is very difficult, then from we just look at the contents of the project and see when pre-ico is going on a lot of investing or not. and responses to how people see the project

It is true that there are a lot of ICO's appearing and because of this there are more bad / scam ICO's out there, but doing your research is the vital part. Spend time looking into a project, join their bounty campaign and ask questions on their thread. To me transparency is very important.

Here are a few signs to look for in a ICO

- Strong team - Both in development team and also the CEO's / marketing (no point having a great team to create something, if nobody can advertsie it and push the startup in the right direction.
- Realistic vision - not aiming too high or if they do not reach their target everyone who invested will be disappointed
- Solid whitepaper - Well thought out, shows realistic goals, a strong good vision and a plan of action
- Strong social media presence - A social media that shows they are connected with everyone
- Good customer support - Shows they care, and they have invested time and money into making sure the average investor can ask questions
- Good website - A business who is willing to throw time and effort into a good website are less likely to be a scam
- finite supply - ICO's with no cap can be dangerous and can simply just damage their own coin by releasing more for more investment.
-Market they are getting involved with - Is this a new market? or a dying one? who controls the market?

Finally
- Good concept and catchy name - A good ethos and a name that makes them stand out. Personally i would avoid anything that is something "coin".

If these are in place, then it's a good sign. I am looking at Crowdholding at the minute, Their ICO started today.

Not every ico is scam! But majority of thm are scam, we need to research well before the investment.
And obviously play with the safe money.

Wow. You couldn't have put it in better way. I am saving your list for every time I am looking at an ICO. I would also add ICO use: is the token really useful? I will have a look at Crowdholding. Seems a very interesting project and their token IS useful

I feel that bitcoin and alt coin is still at the beginning stage where only a small percentage of people are using it. So there is still a lot of room for growth. So the right time to invest is always now. I would suggest to have a balance profile instead of aiming for the most risky.

There is more room for sure. For example in my country they don't use bitcoin so much but we are trying to educate people. You are right, big risks give the biggest earnings but also the biggest losses. Always a balance profile is the best solution

The best time to invest would be right now. Buy some biicoin and put that money in alternate currencies that you think have solid fundamentals. Once the bitcoin run stops, alts will rise and so will your bitcoin in value.

Hi! Read and learn about this project:

 VIABET is a cryptocurrency based cloud betting platform, casino and peer-to- peer sports betting site. We act as the technological launching pad that allows  regular players as well as gaming companies to create and launch their own  casino games. You create the games, we launch them, we promote them. We share the profits with our token holders  

Also you will get Edge tokens free! 8) I am join their bounty campaign.

Do your own research and try to exclude any possibility of an ICO being a scam. Try to find credible information.

And the best time to invest is when you can afford to lose all the money you’re planing to throw at it. Because even when a project looks good, bad things can happen and the project can not go anywhere.

We’re talking about huge profits here, and that’s associated with the high risks involved. The minimum one can do is to reduce the number of risks by sourcing as much info as possible.

I will have a look. I can see that gaming platforms are getting more and more popular

Yes, I agree, because thanks to the blockchain they become safe, without deception and open. No one will steal money!

I agree with you 100%. If you do your research you can get a good profit from an ICO. I believe now is the best time to invest. There are so many promising ICOs out there and so many launching. In my opinion the best ICO to invest in this November is Propthereum.io. They are an asset backed cryptocurrency on the blockchain and are expecting a 1566% coin appreciation in a short period of time. Proceeds raised from their ICO will be used to purchase A-grade property worldwide. This will generate a rental income and underlying value for the PTC token holder. The great thing about this concept is that the coin will always increase in value!

I think some investors first read the WP from the ico project, to see if the project really can run and have a good idea or not, are you sure you want to invest when there will be HF in mid-november, I heard some ico project delay their ICO sales.

For me the best and right time to invest in an ICO is anytime it is where you are comfortable in joining campaigns and waste time to fulfill every campaign, the right time is not dependent on the ICO but the right time is based on your own self, for me do it monthly to gain more money, and do more on your free time so that you will easily fulfill the given to do by your campaign, the best ICO for this time october-novermber is kickico, just read about the information about them and you will know that it is the best so ico so far

But when is the best time to know whether an icon is good or not ?

Actually the right time to invest in ICO when you found the legit ones and best project offer. Their roadmap is good and very active team to do best in their project. I can say kickico is good they offer a good project and I think they have more to offer. So when you found and done research invest and monitor your investment.

Just like you have analysed, it all boil down to research and finding out which ico is the best at any giving time. ICO is real business and as it is in physical business so is it with ICO. Planning, research, commitment and dedication will definitely help you to find the winner ICO!

not all ICO scams i think.
the right time to invest is when you find a project with a potential concept and a trustworthy team of developers.
