As I known, ICO is a kind of risky investment. Similar to the IPO which is the form of invite for capital investment, but when buying IPO, investors can research the information about the company they invested, find out about official finance reports and be protected by law when joining. In contrast, ICO projects are often rather ambiguous and unprotected by government so the risk is so high for investors.
So how to evaluate a potential ICO project, look forward to receiving comments from you  :)

Those days where ICO isn't that popular than of today..your money surely flip up to 10x ROI. But it's hard for now, there are various new ICOs with promising whitepaper and roadmap, but only the investors will kill the price once they start to notice the inactivity of project. To evaluate good ICO is checking it's concept of project if it has integrated to any big existing company already.Also, check them to ICO review sites on which they are listed.

The thing you needed to do is to read the whitepaper placed by the dev and try to understand on what is the project all about and what plans do they have on the future since for this you may find out that dev dead serious for his project. And you can also try to reach up their social media pages,telegram groups and reddit to see if their community is huge since if you can find out on how many communities/people are supporting them you may find out on what would be the outcome of their project.


The ICO got fame since many companies who do this gain more success that's why you can see some new ones popping up and trying their luck to earn with it.

I used to evaluate an ICO as potential project by looking at its white paper, roadmap, website and also the volume of participants.

As guys mentioned here, you should look at the whitepaper, study their webste etc. In my opinion it's also very good if the opmeny already has a product, at least beta...this definitely means that they are a serious and real)) and won't scam

Its actually the same researching in IPO you'd be doing in terms of ICO. Although there might be some addition and that is if the community behind the project is active and big to support it.

 Potentail ico projects should have this, whitepaper ,roadmap ,active team and its community,  aswering question and keeping you updated everyday, these are the characteristic of a good ico to invest in.

Pay careful attention to the team and their LinkedIn. Do some research, examine their connections and claimed past projects, make sure it is all legitimate and not fabricated.

Each ico campaign has a different purpose. You need  to analyze the entire plan, especially whitepaper as the project’s core document.
Find Out How Seriously Investors Are there.

1, the project concept
Whether the project has the practical application of the possibility of landing, through the blockchain technology can change what,.Which step has now been done, whether have the Beta product.
2, team
Team members experience, composition, number of telegram groups, Twitter number, website, white paper how to do, telegram group activity, whether the official staff to answer the question. Team fly, the ICO is reliable.
3, ICO process
Now how much money has been raised, if a long time have not raised money, then this project must have problems, if  raised a lot of money in the short term, then this project can focus on. You can refer to some ICO's website: https://icodrops.com/ (https://icodrops.com/),https: //www.trackico.io/3/? (http://https: //www.trackico.io/3/?)

- Before choosing to participate in ICO whether it is invest or join bounty
   we should read and learn first.
- Thoroughly used his team how
- see the offerings on offer whether interesting and different
- see his vision and mission it project (always read whitepaper etc)
- see also that ICO coins based on which platform has its own platform
- If you already participate in the ICO do not listen to FUD in circulation.
- we have to focus and really work for the project so what is we get later can satisfy.

One more time, before choose what project to invest in, you should learn as many as you can about it: white-paper, team, product, platform and technology, roadmap, reviews etc.

in addition (if you are not an early adopter) you should also look how active the community for the project is: telegram, bitcointalk, reddit, twitter, etc...

This is one of the thing you should really observe on where the team or devs arent too active and as an investor we should really be wise on how to get out on profits. ICO might not be backed but this the way we can rip off X??? possible profits towards in our investment.It might not be seen on IPO but we do know there are lots of investors would rather choose up or to risk because they do know the possible earnings if they hit the right one.

One thing that a lot of people don’t mention is whether you think they’ll be able to deliver the project.  These days a lot of ICOs offer great whitepapers and promise a lot.  You need to think whether the project is feasible or if they’re up against a very difficult / ambitious project and are likely to fail.

You would really always stick to those project who do have realistic goals in future not for those too exaggerated or nearly impossible targets because most of those projects wont really last long. They might be good on white paper or roadmaps but on total updates or developing the idea cant be sustained.

This question can be answered depending on how much interest do the project have.If lots do see this as a good one then expect it would really hit up their cap but if not then expect less.

The team, their transparency, their well detailed roadmap/whitepaper/website and of course if it is accepted by the community. Also there are sites that giving ratings for all of the ICO's, they maybe paid but they can help.  Though you also need to research, these tips of mine can help you. Goodluck in investing.  ;D

IPO's were popular before but now everyone has been crazy with different ICO's. Determining the potential of an ICO project, you must be aware that they have KYC (majority of them now) that will benefit their investors and as well as the company. Looking at their white paper, main goal, road map and everything relating to the project can be done next but the first move you have to do is the people behind it, know if they have experience or they are the real ones who are operating that ICO.

We should evaluate ICO as a potential project by viewing and reading the white paper, roadmap, website and also the volume of participants.

If ICO give a lot of information about it - it's good. If the workteam have good reputation - it's very good. As example - Komodo from developers BitcoinDark or ArcBlock ICO, when you can see strong team also.

Its easy. You just need couple of hours to do someresearches. Read the complete white paper. Look at the dev and team members. Analyse the market they want to act in. Does it need the blockchain, token or the coin?  So if you do this, and you still think positiv about the ico, you can invest your money in. But do not be too good faith. They are many ico with good ideas, but without an market where it works.

It is important to evaluate an ICO project is potential or not before making a decision to invest base on variety of perspectives, such as the website (technical), the foundation, the advisors group, and the company support to that project.
Analyzing the interest of the community especially the ICO lending MLM projects, because the more interests , the higher the probability of success.

First, you should research all information relevant to the project based on the factors: the formal and quantity of website, board of advisors and their personal information. Research on white paper and roadmap, market and interest from the community. At present, there are many scam MLM projects so you have to be very careful and smart before determining to invest, good luck.

Of course, as you write a lot of communities are the key to how successful the project will be in the future. The more supporters the will be more potential, I personally not often read whitepapers if want to invest, just see part of Ann on the project as well team and how big communities the project.

Well if you are not a whitepaper reader then you must correct that one since by reading their whitepaper can make you understand on what is the project all about, since sometimes coin projects gain their huge communities due to their airdrops and you might be fooled by that way since many airdrop tokens are scam and the people who are their are not actually supporting the project but making their ways to spread some fuds to dump their coins at his highest price.

It's easy to buy into what others say. It's also lazy and careless. Do your own research.
You just need to basically check two things. One is a good team. Two is a coin with a future/purpose. With those two, you can definitely be positive that what you have there is a good coin to invest in.

With that, go check out ArcBlock. The project this big can't avoid some criticisms. But I've done my own research and I am confident in the project.

I think you should read all the information about that ico for example read its whitepaper it will help.you to know more about that ico.
Try also to check if the developers are trusted or if they have any bad background in their past project.
Rightnow too many ico are being created and i am sure some of them are scam, so always check it first and dont be too lazy.

To evaluate a potential ICO project, the first thing you have to determine which industry of the project it is, whether it is a hot or not.
Identify the infrastructure of the project based on company assets such as fixed assets or technology
Next is the interest of community in the project.

Because I am beginner , I am limited about information. Can you help advice some good website or prestigious community to discuss about bitcoin, white-paper, technology, platforms,...

the success of ICO depends on many things and the activity of the community. Before investing make sure you pay attention to the important points below:
Make sure the ICO has a good concept, it can be seen from the roadmap or whitepaper ICO.
Make sure the ICO is a lot of devotees, this you can see from the progress of the sale.
Make sure the ICO developers are active in updating the news and the project is also active in communicating with the community.
Be sure not to follow ICO that sells coin more than 90% of total coin available, unless unsold coin will be burned.

I start evaluation of a project with a team , i mean that is more than 50% of success upcoming ico, at least for me. I looking at members of the team, of their LinkedIn accounts, if they fake or not. On the scam projects cheaters can post information about the team members who actually don't even know that they are members of the team) It is the first point you should  start!

If you are really interested in an ICO then make a not of :

1. Team - should not be anonymous, strong, prolific background
2. Whitepaper - Should be fundamentally solid, if not, should be Technically solid at the very least. You should clearly get an idea of what are they trying to do reading it
3. Community Strength - Are they active on Social media read Reddit, Facebook, Github, Telegram etc. A strong community means strong support
4. Github Activity - Check out how active they are on Github. How many commits and/or Contributors they have.
5. Market Cap - How much are they trying to get via Token sale and if the product is worth it?

Hope this helps!

Sure, There are some website and telegram channel keep on ranking the ICOs daily basis.  Pm me, I will share the telegram there, because I do not wanna someone to use it directly seeing my post.
This site link below will give the information about the projects, ongoing, rating, Risky ICOs also list.
https://icorating.com

This below link will give the information about the active and best projects directly without any brief about it.

Without going into too much detail, it's understandable why the Team is the most important criteria. That is because without the proper experience, or knowledge of the vertical the company is aiming to serve it's not likely they will succeed.

Before to invest in any ico project i try to find more information in internet. I start learning with the main site of project, how well it is organized, if the content is orginal and  how professional is the team, are there wellknown advisors and masters, how successful were  their past projects. Then i look at the rating of ico and study linkedyn profiles whether they fake or not. this wai i form my opinion about project.

A thorough study of the project will help in the proper investment

Hi,
we can evaluate the project by the product developed and the team and the advisory bodies associated........

In 2017, ICO investments soared and cumulative funding has surged to 2.8 billion as of November 2017.
People love it when things go up, but what goes up must come down .ICO not only offers a convenient venue for entrepreneurs in the blockchain sector to obtain funding, but also allows individuals to invest in early-stage projects, which were previously available only to institutional investors. It is estimated that if a person blindly invests $1,000 in every visible ICO projects, including those failed, he or she will have a positive return of more than 13 times. However, the reality is not always as rosy as it may sound. In fact, as ICO failure rate is relatively high nowadays, investing in ICO can be highly risky. There have been widespread skepticism surrounding ICOs, including unclear legal status, low liquidity, lack of transparency, etc. Investors need to exercise extreme caution on their investments.    
#1. Real Needs for the Product
#2. The Team Matters More than the Business Plan
#3. A Product that Stands out
#4. Strong Partnership and Pre-sale

You can also check the team thoroughly. Are all real people in the team, are there any dummies or non-existent people. Are all really working on their specialty, and not just photos from the Internet.

- There is a working prototype of the product.
- All agreements and rules are published on the site, there is a competent Whitepaper
- The company itself is registered,
- The founders of the startup are people with reliable reputation,
- The startup has its own escrow - a conditional account, where the company's assets, documents and funds deferred before the occurrence of a particular situation,
- In the project team - professionals who have the experience of creating successful start-ups (however, its absence is not always a bad sign).

Does it hepls? I often evaluate projects like that.

well, i suggest that check the details of the team is a must homework. Believe it or not.
Who ever scam or had a bad past. There are traces can be found behind.
But it's time consuming. After all, it all depends on yourself if worth or not.

You should see what the project is doing for what purpose. what product. view the white paper and the road map of that project. It is necessary to see who is the developer. and mentors and sponsors. Those are essential for an ICO.

At me such algorithm:
1. Appreciate the external design
2. I look at the cape
3. I'm watching the team
4. Evaluate the idea
5. I watch activity in social networks
6. I look at people's opinions
As something so in brief.

Maybe it makes sense to go all-in, but it will be an unjustified risk. You will spend not only your money But also your precious time, which could be spent on more profitable projects. Therefore it is worth and it is necessary to study all the information about those projects that attracted your attention.

there are many things I look at when doing necessary research about the project. especially since the project is actually filling up any shortcomings in the current situation or really trying to find out what makes it easier in our lives. then I'm trying to find out if there is interest in the project. because if the project seems to be successful, I do not think that it will make good money for us if I can not get the necessary interest behind it. I do not even expect it to be successful. Who supports the project? Who are advisors, who are team members, I am analyze all of them.

With just simple reading and understanding on their targets will already give you the idea and thoughts if the project would really have the potential to grow afterwards.This is i do usually do when seeking out informations which i do focus on the community support behind the project  and if you do find out theres a strong support then we can really make assumptions that would be higher chances of succeeding.

The funny thing is, even scam ICOs can make early investors rich. As long as the hype is up when the coin can be exchanged, even if it is a bitcoin copy or simply a paper launch as a token in Ethereum.

I first look at the idea of the company, on the white book, the team, the road map. Is there any future for her. Then I scan all the social networks, is there any interest of people

we can actually monitor the development of iso through its tread, and often exchange information in telegram together with other group members, the more you are active in the telegram, the more you will get more information about the ICO you want it, that's the experience that I do

Reading the white paper and checking the roadmap on how a specific ICO will function is a good and evaluative way to do, However, I suggest that you can pick an ICO project that Has a Potential if the ICO campaign manager is trusted,respected and professional, by this easy way it will not be a hassle for you. Here are some list of great and pro managers that don't pick shit project "Yahoo62278, Lauda,"  I cannot recite all but I can give you the assurance with these persons'

Easy as that. I hope this helps.

When we say evaluation, there are lot of things to consider. It is really up to you if you are a one good investigator.

Some of the things you should know are.

The founder himself, background checks for companies being involved. If they owned it and built it themselves.

Their purpose of building it and if it is relevant, factual and feasible.

If they have any websites including the white paper.
Good constructions, including the language, the team, allocations, road maps and other goals from the described problem to solutions.
 
If they have technical support, social medias, and if they are approachable about complains and suggestions.
If they have any financial backups or supports.

If the have escrowed services and good and trusted managers.


I think this might help, it's better to have a lot of questions rather than being scammed.
Prevention i

I evaluate an ico project by the amount of participants, how well the community of the school develops, what affiliates they have with the company, etc. a lot of things to consider.

I was in this madness market year ago
through many up and down, the only thing I care when reading new ICO is the Dev team, only good team could make good things. All the roadmap, design, community can be drawn easily

I also know one good rule to choose ico - understand the idea and be sure that ppl need it. So for theis reasons i choose confideal.

Rightnow there are many icos and some of them are scam, but still some of them are good or has a big potential to become successful, so you should evaluate it first before joining or investing in that specific ico.
To evaluate it, you should read all the information about that ico, like its whitepaper, road map and etc.
If you really want to find a good ico, just do that dont be too lazy. And always be patient all the time and workhard.

Choosing a prospective ICO is a very difficult process. First of all, it is necessary to evaluate the prospects of the idea, the composition of the team, to study white paper. And even if everything goes well, there is always a risk of project failure.

私も同じ意見です。

I think that many ico projects that are planned to be passed on to life in the recent times and that have been passed on to life will soon be gone. many of them will be destined to disappear in places they can not reach in real life. but it is really hard to predict which ones will be lost, in fact, we can say that we are bound to chance too

Before I evaluate an ICO project, the first thing I do is to look at the project's web site and see who the participants are in the project. And an indispensable thing is to learn about the bitcointalk forum to see what people are saying about that project, which is what I do when evaluating an ICO project.

The best way to evaluate the best ico is the product, team, advisory bodies., :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

First, you should read the whitepaper, then analyze the development strategy and try to understand whether it is realizable.Then study the biography of the team and advisers. Try to look at whether they have successful projects in the portfolio.

I think all you can do before joining a ICO is that you could check there whitepaper and there Ann thread for the proper information that yo should know about them so that you can trust the team and join the ICO. Also, in addition you could visit there website and go through all the information you need to know. I know its a long process and require time but its worth as you won't be scammed . And sure even after doing all these things you still won't be 100% sure about the ICO but that just how the ICO,s are and nothing specific you can do about this.

Besides studying the basic knowledge about cryptocurrency, coins wallet, blockchain  technology,ICO... you must be research and review the white paper, roadmap , chart and market fluctuations ,... after that following the comments from good traders on which ICO is  potential or not , that is good views for you guys.

It really comes down to how much risk you're prepared to place on your shoulders.  Some ICOs are in fact real brick and mortar building business who are using blockchain to expand their horizons (a good example is the recent Restart Energy ICO), while other ICO have a team of people involved who you can readily google to see they are real people.  On the other hand, there are many shady/suspect/anonymous ICOs that pose a far greater risk for your money.  Of course, nothing is guaranteed, just like regular finance offerings.  You just have to do your research and then commit to what you believe in.

The most important is the development team, which deals with the crypto project. I like the project GoNetwork. The strongest command, gives a 100% guarantee in the success of the project.

I trust a project if I see that the team consists of famous people. Having links to their social media and therefore being able to communicate directly is really helpful as well.

GoNetwork,Medicalchain Community,Refereum believe that these projects are currently the most interesting in the upcoming ico.
I plan to try also take part in them.

Follow the community, if project's telegram group is popular has a lot of members and quality posts it's already a good sign and a reason to dig the project deeper. Read the documents and roadmap, make sure the team behind has some tracable public record. Estimate the reality of promises given, there can't be miracles even with most successful teams and usually if too much and unrealistic is promised it's already an alert.

You must learn to evaluate and trust your intuition too.First read about their project on their ANN thread then their ROADMAP, the TEAM,its MANAGER also.But to sum it all up your insticts.About your feel towards the project ia also considered.

What matters is the team? It is very important that the project can be used in daily life.

whether the project is realistic or not. There are investors who are strong. and see the white paper and road map. That is the requirement

I use three points on which I then draw a conclusion:
1. read the whitepaper
2. analyze the development strategy and try to understand.
3. read biographies of the team and advisers.

Exactly what I am also doing. Also I have bunch of crypto friends interested also on ICOs. Currently our group's top pick is Wanchain. It is sad that Chinese, Singaporeans and Americans cannot participate legally but we are still expecting them to find ways in order to participate. I bet a sold out on this.  ;)

This is usually not enough to protect yourself from scam.
I usually also check whether the data or team is fake. I search for the top management on Facebook, see whether I have common friends and ask them.
I also find out the location of the company, send them a good old mail via Post service and see what happens. There is no silver bullet.
 

You have to research some information about the ICO project before you start to invest with it. First, review the whitepaper of their project if it has the abilities or qualities that can be developed and can leads to a future success of their project. Second, identify the members behind the team if they are really credible and not fictitious.

Based on their projects and the idea of the team. we can decide the ico.

Any ways might be enough but its much better than doing nothing at all. Theres no guarantee anytime since there are instances on which no matter how you do search up hard into those informations but yet theres still chances on ending up on failed ICO projects. Those things do really happen which means risk always there but this is only on slim chances. Its up to a certain investor on how he research up things which would really convince him to invest on.

Intuition is not important , and competent analysis of the project team . Review of all documents . Ico lot , and worthy projects a little . So be careful

I think that the main criterion is the speed and quality of the feedback. If the bounty team is working slow, for a long time does not answer, manager not calculating stakes - it will be bad project very often.

In In evaluating potential ICO Projects, you must look at its website, white paper and its roadmap if there is any. You will visit its telegram group and check the list of participant.That is my way of evaluating a potential ICO.

Great ICO has solid team, tangible products is what I have found!

I would definitely consider this coin, it has a niche market and had an amazing start!

Check out this new coin, already on exchange!  ROI looks very good!  Medical & Commercial Cryptocurrency with Masternode and Privacy!

Although BTC price is low today but MEDIC MNs still have very good return.

if the ICO attend blockchain conference and have good advisor board and admin reveals everything about the market and future roadmap upcoming ico should be active in social profiles and answer all questions and these are the qualities required for new ico

It's impossible to determine the scam ICO 100% and to force the organizers of ICO to be responsible for their actions, because there are no laws about ICO yet.

Evaluating the growth of an ico is possible through the study of the entire project. For this one needs to spend long time and even after this one cannot conclude that it is successful. Same as bitcoin, ico's too are unpredictable. To some extent considering the development and promoting team can predict the potential.

Evaluating ICOs can be full-time job. There are many factors to be considered. You should start off with reading the whitepaper and begin your analysis from there.

Potential ICO project can be evaluated by looking at its number of participants, positive comments on the project, the ICO must have a whitepaper and it's roadmp, check it's website if there is any and ask about the ICO in their telegram group. You should also ask to any experts ICO hunters also so that you will get more tips from them.

Read all the social networks, is there any interest of people, read biographies of the team and advisers.

I'm trying to get answers to questions like - What's new will create a project? How unique will it be? Who are the developers? I also study the road map, the interest of users to the project is also very important

Evaluating potential ICO will be easy if you already know what the project is all about, what's its pupose and what market it intend to enter. The market needs will tell if that ICO will become successful since the current market situation is the reason behind the development of such project. Investors can also tell if that project will likely to succeed or not so you can also check their feedback.

the important points for me: there is a working prototype of the product, a competent whitepaper, the company is registered, the founders and advisors are  people with a trustworthy reputation,  the team – professionals with experience in creating successful projects.

This is an important thing to consider first on where market it would enter. I have seen lots of projects are focusing on the same market or thing to progress which i do see that it would flood and turns out on having less interest and most likely they will fail.I do rather choose up into newer and unique projects which dont really have much competition into the field of progress which higher chance on seeing a potential would be always there.

It's hard to stick on that one, why? because a lot of paid reviewers are doing some shilled paid reviews these days and there are also some that are paid to destroy the reputation of an ICO having a good potential in the future, i suggest looking for the community support and reading their whitepaper ourselves will be better compared to these reviews. Background check is a no brainer so we should always check the background of the team behind.

When evaluating an ICO we should review their white paper to know the product, the mission and its objective. There you will know also the team behind the project. You can also opt to scan their marketing strategies and see it gets the interest of the crowd. From all those points you will have a glimpse if the project have a potential in the market.

Almost all the reviews and posts are biased. The information is all out there, take your time and go through the whitepaper. Look at the team and their history. Local laws and product roadmap etc. Use your best judgement.

Yes, the speed of response and the adequacy of solving controversial situations are very important, they are not counted, they made a mistake and so on. And of course, the site reviews, the address of the contract, famous people, performances in Offflane.

Before you take part in ico, you need to look at the team, pratnikov, idea, reasonably assess whether they can collect their minimum, look at the reviews

Yes, investing in ICO projects involves high risks. It's very difficult to select a good project from an ordinary scum. When choosing a project, it is first of all necessary to pay attention to the team, white paper and the relevance of the idea.

To be honest new ICOs would not be determined by the fund they collect from Donator or sponsor if they will live long or they will be successful, so one point to be consider is the member involve in the project, if they were member that has been a member before in past ICOs that has been successful until today.

That's right, in other words, it is necessary to fully analyze the project before entering into it, and to direct all forces to it. I agree with you on this issue.

If you are an investor - the risk is part of your life, it is impossible to invest with 100% confidence in success. But in any case, there is always a chance to reduce these risks, and at least to be more confident in this issue, this is what helps the things you wrote about, it is a pity that the project team is not always possible to determine their honesty, and even being very, very relevant, the project suddenly for everyone can be a trap, so to speak.

there are two factors on which I assess the project's prospects. The first is that I monitor the amount of investment and for some very professional investors, when they always invest in quality business. Another approach is more professional developers who have already shown their work before.

Before I evaluate the ICO project, the first thing I do is look at the project's website and see which of the project participants. And an irreplaceable thing is to find out about the bitcointalk forum to find out what people are saying about this project.

if ico already run, evaluate only use result ico selling
if ico not yet run, you can read project, whitepaper, dev team and campaign manager

Number of soft caps for releasing, value of token or coin, people involve in the project, white paper, video presentation and member on telegram.

A very important point is the use of the token. If the token is used only for trade - the project will not last long. You should also pay attention to how many tokens were created. Well, the idea of the project is the most important

in looking for a potential ICO project, of course, must analyze the web and the road map as well whitepaper, if whitepaper is written in great detail and clearly the sign of this project is serious for the future, and also with an experienced team

You better look for the team who are handling the project. As well as the whitepaper of the project. If you notice that it has a potential to be a good ICO then probably it better to give support with it. The whitepaper must contain all the important detail that the investors need to know inorder for them to decided wether they are going to invest or not.

Learn very well about the purpose and purpose of the coins that can be read in white paper later it can be concluded how seriously ico is made so that you are not wrong in choosing not to incur losses due to a scam.

we can evaluate potential ico projects through the company branding blockchain technology white paper and especially if they attend any blockchain conference and team and advisor team and telegram group bitcointalk form response

I've studied the ICO earlier that a potential is the sum of the token has not too many yet soft and hard cap his already can with success. This indicates that the ICO is a success and it will generate a huge profit and sales.

In some cases, you can, of course, even pay attention to the price of the token during the company's ico, but this is also a very weak indicator. but the best way to analyze the project's prospects is to study the participants of the project and investors who want to invest in this project. I mean authoritative people.

You need to learn more about projects and eventually earned an intuitive selection.

Yes, when already a lot of experience, it helps to intuitively choose projects, while reducing the likelihood of falling on the bench,but 100% bad choice can not be avoided

Yes, when already a lot of experience, it helps to intuitively choose projects, while reducing the likelihood of falling on the bench,but 100% bad choice can not be avoided

Evaluating ico can be full time job. There are many factors to be considered. The blockchain ecosystem is still young and lacks standards. You should start off with reading the whitepaper and begin your analysis from there.

Perhaps the ICO that potentially can be seen from many investors who support the ICO. If in the logic of a good project will certainly get lots of support, therefore this thing should be a concern because the more that could be said in support of the project potential good and worthy of being followed.

You should see what the project is doing for what purpose. what commodity. View the white paper and road map of this project. It is necessary to find out who is the developer.

You need to spend more time on the forum and go to every new bounty, read about the company itself and what it is, pay attention to the website and the team, if everything is done well and the company is solid then the fee will be good.

This project looks very promising, i strongly recommend you guys to join and invest on this project, for more info https://admine.io

it is connected with the fact that ICO is connected with cryptocurrency, and she is specially made decentralized that the state didn't vlazit. As you see here both risk more and earnings.
choose according to rating on the known websites

I think, it is necessary to start to look at their idea, the project they want to implement. After you pay attention to the team

Let's take, for example, the VLB project. I evaluated it first of all on the prospects of the idea, an informative whitepaper, clearly defined roadmap. Team is also important: blockchain platform is developed by QBT team (Qiwi blockchain technologies). This exact team was responsible for developing Masterchain.
A small software and hardcap (4 and 12 million dollars) increase the chances of successful implementation of the project. Here are the main criteria

Investing in ICO projects is a very big risk, because there is no proper regulation and investors are not protected by law in the case of fraudulent actions by ICO developers. Therefore, investors can only rely on the promises of ICO project leaders.

just look at how many of the coins that have been sold by the ICO does have already reached the target in the set. If yes, of course, ICO is so potentially the greater future.

VLB should be quite possible.  the first attempt was last year, a little unsuccessful, worked on the errors and go to the second round, last time, everyone was offered to return the investment, or participate in the 2nd round of receiving bonuses, ie no deception did not try.

of course the first thing u should do is to look at the project's web platform and see who the participants r in the project. also u can ask a few advices on bitcointalk forum (or another media if u want) to see what people r thinking about it, which is what I do when evaluating an ICO project. And keep ur mind clear  throughout the evaluating an ICO project. GL!

The best way is to understand the project need of the technology, the team's competence and see if they are good in ICO marketing also.

I analyze the idea in the main context, then the white paper, team, quantity of tokens, market value

дa нeплoxoй aнaлиз, нaдo пpикинyть чтoбы в cлyчaeт yдaчи пpoeктa, нe пoлyчилacь зaoблaчнaя cyммa. кoтopaя пo кaпe вxoдит в 1 дecяткy, тaк кaк этo мaлoвepoятнo.

you can certainly enter the last 2-3 weeks, in interesting projects, evaluating the possibilities, and looking at the fees, if they are reflected in the enterskan, but so many good projects will pass by, but a couple of these must be always have.

First of all, don't risk more than you can lose.  ICO and ITOs are very speculative, and if you look at the statistics from last year, over half of them have already failed.

There really isn't currently much of an objective standard to evaluating ICOs, but in general, I suggest you look at them like you would any other investment.

In time, standards will come, but for now you have to be extremely careful and do research.  Also be aware that your legal recourse may be limited if you lose funds.  This is an emerging area of securities law in most places in the world.

Be very careful about marketing "hype".  The best projects may be hidden gems, and the projects hyped the most may be trash.  It's not always that way, but I've seen some pretty bad projects sell out their ICOs quickly while other projects that in my view had much better potential/plan struggled.

None of this is actual investment advice, and if you're really wanting an opinion, a qualified investment adviser is the best source of information (even though most know nothing about ICOs, there are some that do).

I personally believe in currencies that are multipurpose (like Bitcoin/Ethereum/Zcash/etc.) as opposed to limited purpose tokens, but I recognize that tokens are an important funding vehicle for great businesses.  I don't view currencies as investments though, I believe they're the same as dollars, euro, or yen, just going through the type of appreciation that is typical of a technology adoption curve.  At the same time, those fiat currencies are losing value through inflation, so it creates the "feel" of an investment.  But you could look at fiat currencies in the same way because of their relative value against other currencies changes.  But they are not investments, and eventually, I believe Bitcoin and other true cryptocurrencies will be treated as a currency as opposed to an investment.  That's not the case right now in the U.S. for tax purposes, but it's a goal I support and advocate for.

Best of luck with your ICOs, make sure to do research and once again, my personal (not investment advice), never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Ben

   to deeply understand the work of iso, you do not need to spend a day of time. And still 100% do not insure yourself against a possible scum, so in order to protect yourself from risks. Investors invest in several ways, thereby reducing risks.

You try to verify everything that is in the whitepaper. Then you see what partnerships they have and the background of their team. Another way is to narrow down your research from others' research work. We maintain a team of 10+ people conducting research on prospective ICOs daily and screen out bad projects.

Doing ICOs in the current bear market is more profitable especially if you are in ICOs during the private presale stage, i.e. you get in in the best price available in public - which means it is profitable for you whether you are in the project for the short term or the long term.

beside that we can analize from who are endorse that project, for the excample sether ico, this project endorse by john mcafee, so this ico result can be reaching hardcap before ico time ended

it is really difficult to do this, there are a lot of fraudulent ICO and choose yourself very hard, you need to look at project partners and team members.

Actually, there are many ways to know ICO scams. One of them is by looking at who the manager is, then looking at the company profile, the white paper and the team involved in the company.

These are a good start, but a true evaluation of ICO/ITOs and other crypto businesses should also evaluate legal, technical, logistical, security, and some other areas.  I envision a public standard, differing in some ways for different type of entities (cryptocurrency, tokens, exchanges including decentralized, etc.), but based on the same key criteria that I listed.

Best regards,
Ben

Before I evaluate the ICO project, the first thing I do is look at the project's website and see which of the project participants. And an irreplaceable thing is to find out about the bitcointalk forum to find out what people are saying about this project.

It really comes down to how much risk you're prepared to place on your shoulders.  Some ICOs are in fact real brick and mortar building business who are using blockchain to expand their horizons (a good example is the recent Restart Energy ICO), while other ICO have a team of people involved who you can readily google to see they are real people.  On the other hand, there are many shady/suspect/anonymous ICOs that pose a far greater risk for your money.  Of course, nothing is guaranteed, just like regular finance offerings.  You just have to do your research and then commit to what you believe in.

Well, all right, but that's sometimes even this is not enough and the ISO still turns out wrong and deceiving very sorry,but without risk nothing.

It is necessary to understand what the developers of the project want to create. The Bitcointalk forum really helps to see scam. Never invest a large percentage of your portfolio in the ICO.

You try to verify everything that is in the whitepaper. Then you see what partnerships they have and the background of their team. Another way is to narrow down your research from others' research work. We maintain a team of 10+ people conducting research on prospective ICOs daily and screen out bad projects.

Doing ICOs in the current bear market is more profitable especially if you are in ICOs during the private presale stage, i.e. you get in in the best price available in public - which means it is profitable for you whether you are in the project for the short term or the long term.

SHARK'S CAPITAL TEAM

I agree, the most correct strategy for participation in the ico is to invest 5-10% of the portfolio in one project, and invest at least 5 projects

in my view ico projects are risky due to a recent scam one of the major points i see in selecting an ico project if the particular ico attend Blockchain conference then we will select as potential ico to invest the reason is the potential transparency and serious behind the project will be revealed in blockchain conference platform

yes a serious point in checking if it takes part in the conference, and whether working with investors offline, this will greatly reduce the likelihood of falling into the trap.

Before participate in any ICO i evaluate it according to the following principle: 1) product 2)softcap, hardcap 3)team and advisors (checking their profiles in social media)4) bonuses - for me looks suspicious, if there are the bonuses more that 35-40% and no locked period for these coins, this is a big project load 4) Have  any developments taken place prior to ICO or not 5) community - is there telegram group, active or not, support.

One thing that I usually look for is the support of the Advisors whether there are quite influential people listed on their team like if there are someone form other team that is known to the users in the forum. And also whether the team exposes their faces on youtube channel because that is when we see how much serious they are with the project they are doing.

It is important that these famous people confirm their attitude to the project, and not just were listed as advisers on the site

The truth is there is not so much difference between investing in both of those projects, what you need to do is to research the developers, are they really who they say they are? Do they have to experience they say they have? Is the project realistic? are the goals achievable? How many competitors do they have? You need positive answers to all of those questions if you don't have them then it may be a good idea to not invest in the project.

'As I known, ICO is a kind of risky investment. Similar to the IPO which is the form of invite for capital investment, but when buying IPO, investors can research the information about the company they invested, find out about official finance reports and be protected by law when joining. In contrast, ICO projects are often rather ambiguous and unprotected by government so the risk is so high for investors.
So how to evaluate a potential ICO project, look forward to receiving comments from you'.

Like most have already said do your research with the whitepaper, social media and website. I personally only invest in companies that are offering something that's needed or is fresh and original.

They should have a team that have long experienced in their respective fields and they should have a working product already . Don't gamble your investments on those that are just going to work on their product after ICO because there is a very a high chance that it's garbage.

It is very difficult to assess the prospects of ICO projects. Now many ICO projects are falling apart and not going to the stock exchange. I choose projects on the following criteria: the idea's perspective, the composition of the team.

well the main criteria is of course the idea of the project. what a problem they want to solve. the more global the problem the more interesting the project. the second criterion is the development team. if the team is very strong and professional, the probability that they will still solve this problem is high, so there are even more reasons to participate in this ICO. Then the Finance rates are going. What is the soft cap, what is hard cap, if hard cap large it is likely that when are get to the auction price of the token will drop, so they are need to hardcap was small. Basically for me these are the main indicators.

I always have my own way to evaluate ICO, I often see the background of their team and the openness of their project to everyone can be likened to the website and in the website should tell all about the project from whitepaper, road map, team, and even purpose in create the project.

It's very difficult to predict, We can not just look at whitepaper, website, and roadmap. Looking at the background of the team and their products on the market is another assessment of the ICO project. Do they have a team capable of developing a project? and Are their products already accepted by the market? I believe that is an additional question as our assessment of the ICO project.

I see that potentially have ICO coins that not too much nor too little because so that later results can be stable. Besides the great ICO is also carried out by a team of experienced too so don't be vain.

Totally agree with you. The level of development of the project determines the number of followers. Could also share where best to monitor new projects? Are there any specialized sites?

I think everyone has their own ICO rating. No one is the same, but I think it also has some general criteria for evaluation. In particular, we often judge by the following factors: politics, law, communication (this is also an important factor), on the concern of the community for that ICO. Beside, we should also see Consider the ICO project website as much as possible so that we can accurately assess the potential of an ICO project.

Now a days there are many ico boost company such as tokenmarket,bravenewcoin,etc ,which host the ico for your company and team can just focus on their project.so at least their supported ico are safe and generated good funding as they only support legit ico.so to be on safer side you can invest in their supported ico or do your own research before investing.

Studying a website is just the first point. Next, you need to make sure that the team is real. There were times when the team was fictional. It's good that the forum helps to quickly find out.

Website can be manipulated by scam dev's they can create beautiful site and fake stats on it that's why I can't point that one as basis. Try to see how big their supporters is and reach for their telegram and social media pages aswell read their whitepaper then you can find that the project is good to join on. Proper evaluating is truly good in ICO industry since ICO platforms has been used for scamming these days.

So that from the set of start-ups the investor could choose the right project, he should evaluate his strengths and weaknesses, the potential for growth and possible problems. After, it`s worth considering the investment strategy.

There are two main ways: to sell tokens immediately after entering the stock exchanges or store them in anticipation of future development of the company and a multiple growth of the token. Both strategies will work if during the analysis the investor realized that the ICO is worthwhile, and the project has great potential. I highly recommend to take a look at this project https://goo.gl/7RC9x8

When I want to evaluate any potential ICO, i Join their telegram community and read their whitepaper.

A project must have a set road map about how it will take product and company to the visioned path. And the most important factor for evaluating any ICO is to join their telegram community.

Do you know any good ICO to invest in?

Well i have invested in velix.id and its a very good project to invest in. They are solving the problem of identity crisis over blockchain. You can join their telegram community (https://t.me/joinchat/EepaREQgVnyEBTlOmgwdbw/) to know more about the project.

sure i will have a look at it. Thank you for helping me out.

Personally I take my full time studying carefully the ICO project before investing. There are many steps to follow in order to evaluate such projects. You have to read their whitepaper, check their team and see if they are real and experienced or not, seeing if the concept is really attractive, and also visiting their site and social media accounts to check their community.

One way to predict the ICO is to do the analysis, you have to find various information on the internet because it will be very useful to determine the final decision. For me ICO is a very risky thing so we must be really ready in taking any risk incurred. Investing in a project can sometimes make us gain a lot of profits and sometimes also can make us lose to experience poverty. Make sure we are ready everything and we can also take the right time in the form of timing in doing every investment.

The first thing to do when evaluating an ICO project is to look for the people who started it. You should check their professional background and previous experience.

In general, very few people know how to choose quality projects for investment. This requires a lot of experience. Therefore, there are various investment funds. Such as Iconomy.

Yes i do keep in mind checking the background of people who have started the ICO. I did check on velix.id and they have a good number of people backing them and their product, some very famous people from cryptoworld. velix.id looks good to me

For me first thing first is checking the Team Members and Advisors of ICO.
and upon checking, i searched the members and advisors if they are really in that ICO project, as many ICO are imitating by grabbing someone else pictures and use it to be a team member.

One ICO i am impressed and has extreme potential is the team and advisors of Effect.AI, as these people were prominent and respectable in crypto industry like Charlie Shrem and Tony Tran are joining in the development. and checking their personal social media accounts, it is true and confirming that they are the advisors of Effect.AI

This is my best way to evaluate potential ICO projects, as it starts to the person and the team developing an ICO projects.

Hope this can help you, just need proper due diligence to evaluate potential ICOS

Mostly you should understand who blockchain and business work

It's still quite a hard job for me. I have read lots of whitepapers but it's tough to determine that the project will be good or not by reading the whitepaper. Lots of people have said that they looks at the team but maximum of time a completely new and inexperience team comes up with great ICO.
Now I look for the buzz of the ICO in the social medias ans this forum. Also there are lots of ICO rating websites which are some time helpfull.

Before investing your money in a particular project, you need to collect information about it, analyze it, look at the rating of the ICO, see who the developers of the project and how they communicate with potential infesters in the telegram, listen to the opinion of reputable people for you who understand cryptocurrency, and only then determine whether to invest money or not in this project.

   Yes, I remembered the project vordcdor, they also have a quarrel there, there were questions, they were trolls. But now I remembered, they were running their YouTube channel, and there they talked about everything that was being done. And what is the result, yes all the ill-wishers or competitors who vied with each other screaming that the scum. Nothing is achieved. The project works great.

As for me, when I choose ICO to participate I always take attention to team, to their aims, including they potential how much they want to reach in soft cap and hard cap, also if they have the product or just want to create!! It too much points to find good ICO project

Take, for example, the VLB project. I appreciated it first of all about the prospects of the idea, an informative document, a clearly marked road map.

Analyzing ICOs and token releases, it is important not to miss the rules: how will they affect the success of the project, to what extent do they protect the interests of investors? The legislative norm in this area in most countries is still poorly developed and not tested in practice. It should be noted in particular if it is assumed that the token gives the owner some special rights (for example, property rights with respect to something, including the company itself), and not just something of value to itself. It is also important to pay attention to the ICO process mechanics itself. For example, how are the funds collected in the ICO process distributed and spent?In addition to the allocation of funds, it is important to take into account who and how the main decisions about project development. It is important for investors to form an opinion as to whether the selected project is optimal in the long run and whether the project is potential. In conclusion, I would like to note that ICO is a fairly new way of financing projects, but lacks the approach, rule, legislative basis and accumulated established experience. Therefore, cautious investors should pay attention to ICO analysis and investment decisions and should not underestimate the opportunities and risks associated with this new issue.

All you mention above is useful to use as good reference before investing in ico project.
But its not really complete one since there are some other things that need to check like expereience of  the team and working product. Dont forget to check their community too.

To evaluate ICO projects, you should read their purpose in doing that project, their mission and vision. Because all project should have it. Also, what market affected of this project.

That is truth. You can ask every scam questions for understanding about project. What do you need to know: white paper, card and soft cap, actual topic of project, for what money, how they built promotion, what the team, what the token.

you can simply enter iso, when it has already taken place, it reduces the risk, but also cuts the profit a bit. Since in the beginning give good bonuses, so that you can choose a lot of strategies.

https://steemit.com/ico/@cryptohu/ico-tendencies-2018-how-to-make-decent-profit-from-the-changing-world-of-icos

I evaluate them by their Whitepaper, roadmaps and the most important one is the team behind it and its impact on the investors. I participated on many iCOs already but one thing I had noticed is, when there are few investors joining the ICO 98% it will be a big fail. So in order to get a successful ICO, you need to go where theres a lot of investors investing on it. And this is the main reason why other people go for the hype in joining the ICO  cause even if the whitepaper is good but theres only a few investors on it, this will turn to be a big fail.

We are facing hard times but still some projects grow strongly; and they had 1 thing in common - they advertised "new era" or "4.0" blockchain; that's what people want no matter what the real product is.

You should find out what their project goals. What is their product. read the white paper and the project roadmap. See their team, whether they are experts in their fields each. It is so in need to see who the developer.

The white paper isn't gospel! White papers can be forged.make sure the team is talented and has a track record or success. These are the best indicators in my opinion

The no. 1 of course that you must know about the good ico is check the road map or their whitepaper which is made by the developer. Then check the background of their team, company, and assets. Also search the background of their team also, with this things you will see what kind of project do they have if you apply it.

You better look for the team that deals with the project. As on the paper of the project. If you notice that it has the potential to be a good ICO, then it is probably better to support it.

 There are many factors to be considered.you should study their website , white paper and its roadmap .    ICO  unpredictable.

First is don't get caught at the hype of their ICO because they probably paid crypto youtubers to shill it that is part of their marketing strategy. Check the team and their past experiences that stand out.

I couldn’t find any competitors for project Vreo.io, do you know of any? They are doing dynamic in-game advertising. They are going to create marketplace for developers and advertisers. It will secured by blockchain technology.Moreover, the interests of all parties are taken into account. Developers of small games can attract investments and create high-quality products, for advertisers this project will be useful due to the expansion of advertising opportunities and selected target audience, and gamers will be able to receive quality products cheaper, besides they also receive income from the ads they watched, without interrupting the gameplay. It seems the product meets the gaming and advertising industries' needs. Here is their link at bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2886707

What is your opinion about the project?

The first thing to do when evaluating an ICO project is to look for the people who started it. You should check their professional background and previous experience. Have they launched similar campaigns before? Were these projects successful? You need to learn how to recognize the ones that really have market potential and you must know these things before making an investment.

check the advisor team and who are their partners and are they attending any blockchain conference and the roadmap and ico supply and technology they use and  real LinkedIn profiles with all these features we can evaluate good ico

My opinion and what I practice is to always do a lot of research before deciding to invest in an ICO project. Evaluate the project idea and product or services it will offer. Find out about the experience of the team and follow them to see how active they are in their own project (for example frequent posts, articles, attendance to summits and conferences etc). Listen to reviews by experts.

checking the background of dev. you also can check their whitepaper, roadmap and the website. in order to more clearly and become trusted, you can see their project. just searching their project and follow them. so you can see how they work.

In my own strategy to find out if that ICO has potentials is that I read their product,  their team if the people of the team are real people and also I check their social medias if theirs a lot of events that the team really works for their project.  Looking at their rating from icobench.com also help me to decide  if that ICO has potentials .

I figure whatever you can do before joining an ICO is that you could check there whitepaper and there Ann string for the best possible data that yo should think about them with the goal that you can believe the group and join the ICO.

Additionally, moreover you could visit there site and experience all the data you have to know. I know its a long procedure and require time however its value as you won't be misled .

Furthermore, beyond any doubt even subsequent to doing every one of these things despite everything you won't be 100% certain about the ICO however that exactly how the ICO,s are and nothing particular you can do about this.

a lot of indicator when analyzing a campaign bounty is present. The very first, it's the most important. Look at the project and ask yourself the same question, but will this project help you? or whether it will help other people, in general it will be useful. The most important

For me, it's important in ICO that it's an interesting practical application, a good advertising company, a technical team available that has already done something or started doing it.

When you find an ICO that appeals to you, you need to review the following information:

Website: Check how website was designed. Introduce the following, all web defects as detailed as possible
Headquarters: Check the ICO of the country, where and if there is clear information, if you can authenticate the better.
Team: Team assessment through the information introduced, check whether they are actually doing the project or not?
See Whitepage: This is a detailed introduction to the company, its size, how it is called, its direction, and the product that the company is developing. (Must read carefully)

Check the tracker scores when decide invest or not.

how to evaluate potential ICO projects. surely we must study and observe about the product, his team, the platform and his white paper and so on. maybe this is what we have to do before we participate in the ICO project.

I check the following before deciding whether to invest or not.
Read the whitepaper and roadmap
Is the product/service valuable?
Check that the team has expertise and can be found on social media, attend conferences
Find reliable reviews

The analysis of any project in which you want to participate is the most important in this matter. To distinguish the scam from a good project, I personally help the analysis of the news background of the project and the analysis of team members, on this scam is eliminated in 100 percent of cases.

ICO campaign has a different purpose. It is your job to analyze the entire plan, especially whitepaper as the project’s core document. This way you get to see what kind of problem will this product solve and does it have enough potential to make a breakthrough. You should compare it with similar projects and determine what makes it so different from others, both positively and negatively. Once you’ve done this analysis, you’ll have a much better idea about its overall market potential.

Yes, you are right ICO project is indeed more dangerous for investors. Because the risk is even higher. But as long as I choose a good and promising ICO project, I will not worry if the ICO project is Scam. Most importantly I have to be really careful and do not choose the ICO project. Because the ICO project is actually a lot of profitable so we should not underestimate.

In order not to think about how to evaluate the ICO, it will be more expedient to ask the expert to conduct an audit of the interested project, or to the company that provides such services. Even the founders of crypto-currency projects most often order turnkeys from third-party companies on a turnkey basis.

I also think that all these prohibitions and restrictions only intrigue people even more. Even judging by project a badge of go. The speed of raising funds is getting higher.

Look at their product, if you think that it worth it and you would use it with  pleasure, so there's a big chance that ICO will pay for itself. Or you could just follow trends and invest. Second option actually easier

There is hard and fast rule for estimating the success of an ico. Some fulfill these criteria but fall along the road. These criteria are, amongst others, presence of an MVP, team activities. Rolecoin by Steamrole ticks those boxes

one of best potential ico projects is if the coin attend blockchain conference we can completely rely on such coin they are serious in development

As what we observed, now a days there are many ico boost company such as tokenmarket,bravenewcoin,etc ,which host the ico for your company and team can just focus on their project.so at least their supported ico are safe and generated good funding as they only support legit ico. So in order to be on safer side you can invest in their supported ico or do your own research before investing.

Read about it, evaluate the perspectives of the project, try to read or watch the opinion of some experts that are NOT interested in promoting. The main thing here is the idea of the project, but you should also look into its team and maybe communicate with them. I've chosen for myself the one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2637453.0) that allows you to directly interact with the developer (https://t.me/bitupper_en)

First of all begin with the project. If the whitepaper can't explain what's the project for and how the token/coin is going to be used then that's the first sign of scam

Study the project well. We need to understand why they need a blockchain. Read the road map and white paper of the project. Find developers on social networks. But these conditions do not give a full guarantee.

This was an answer from a different post of mine.

What I think makes a good ICO is their use case. Does the project need a coin? Most projects do not. I like to see strategic partnerships with real companies (not just another ICO) that make sense. Most of all, do they have a community backing them? Same as an IPO or any other investments, do your research before you transfer funds!

Hi!

I think everybody has their own approach, and although I cannot tell you any one correct way, I can tell you my way.

I have a default set of factors that I look out for:
1. Team Experience & Background
Is the team experienced? What companies have they worked for?
2. Concept
Is this a good idea? Do we need this in the world?
3. Blockchain Purpose
DOES THIS NEED TO BE ON THE BLOCKCHAIN?
4. Social Media
Which social media are they on? Are they active? Do they have a large following?


Let me know what you think about my criteria!

Personally I take my full time studying carefully the ICO project before investing. There r many steps to follow in order to evaluate such projects. U`ve to read their WP, check their team and see if they r real and experienced or not, seeing if the concept is really attractive, and also visiting their site and social media accounts to check their community.

A project must have a set road map about how it will take product and company to the visioned path and the most important factor for evaluating any ICO is to join their telegram community.

With the help of this formula HYPE/RISK+RATING=$$$ to evaluate the use of this website https://icobench.com/. Sorry for my English, the essence can be conveyed wrong

To evaluate a potential ICO project there a couple of things to consider,check the team composition,find out everything about the team, especially the development team and the advisory board.check their LinkedIn profiles. 
 Visit the project’s announcement (ANN) thread on BitcoinTalk.org,evaluate the stage of the project.Does it only have  a whitepaper? Also, when and how will their token be distributed.

because most of those projects wont really last long. They might be good on white paper or roadmaps but on total updates or developing the idea cant be sustained.

7 ICO project evaluation criteria
1. Business Idea
2. Team & Advisor: Structure & Experience
3. Prototype
4. Roadmap
5. Token Utility: How to use, Supply & Demand
6. Community & Strategic Partners
7. Conclusion
Also refer to the rotating project rotation issues
#first. Check domain (domain name) is registered by any company? Anonymous or not? When and how long?

#2. How to check traffic? Which country visits the most? Where does traffic come from?

# 3. Community participation in the project through other media channels such as Facebook, Twitter ... how many followers, how interested?

When I am evaluating ICO project, what I usually do is:
1. Review the project Whitepaper
2. Content from ICO website
3. Experience and Expertise of Project Team members
4. Roadmap and future projects
5. Rating and Partner of the project

But when the 5 points above has a good value, does not guarantee the ICO project will be successful, we will not know the success of a project before the project runs, we can only predict it.

Finding a potential ICO is one of the hardest things these days given the fact that maybe most of them are just trying to make money on people. Even you read whitepapers and ANN thread , some maybe too convincing to be a potential ICO. But there are some.glitches to it that you can find there. Better be smart and analyze it.

it is necessary to understand that high risks just give this frenzied profit percentage! if everything was easy, then every second would do it)

Try to check if they have real company, have working product and consumers. Check on ico reviews like icobench and icorating about the project.

I'm looking for suitable companies at exhibitions. At last one, I get acquainted with Luckchemy team. They have a strong team and there is a product in beta testing.  Everybody can try their games on the website

When we do talk evaluation of ICO or projects then this would probably the hardest thing.Why? We do keep asking on daily basis which project would be worthy to invest on and just basing on the numbers the most of us don't really have that researching capability because we are just lazy enough not to make appropriate research before investing or pulling out some money into your pocket.This is why most of us ended up on losing out funds rather than on gaining.

Evaluate the ICO project is very hard. I had sucessfully joined the Vechain, Cybermile which bring big profit for me. i will share my way for you: find on ANN bitcointalk: read the comment from members, find information about roadmap, dev team, whitepaper and compare with some project before, finally, check the website, the good project is always has the great website.

Look for icos with a great and active team, like Allstocks. Aldo those with an MVP

Check the project team, which projects they have already implemented, be sure to study the technical document and opinions about the project on the forum or on other sites.

in investing ICO, read first it's whitepaper. check if the team has their credibility.. and if the developer is also active in answering questions in telegram

1. Project team, its reputation and background of key participants;
2. Project road map describing medium-and long-term development plans;
3. Relevance (demand for the product on the market);
4. The presence of MVP (minimum viable product) and the degree of its readiness for mass use.

I always do a lot of research before investing. I study the project, the team, I analyze. Ico is very risky, be careful.

From my experience following some ICO projects there are some things that I consider:
first I will see whitepaper and roadmap because from there we can know the concept and long term plans from dev. after that I will see their social community through twitter, Fb, medium, telegram and reddit because I think a project that gets a lot of support from the community will quickly grow, then I will see their site, ICO organizer platform, ICO review sites, to get info on their sales, how many targets are achieved and in the how long run as because usually good projects will achieve high sales targets in the not-too-distant time.

in recent years it is quite difficult to find a really good ico company that will not call fears or mistrust. Always or no one wants to answer certain questions, or the documentation has some points that you might not like.

When sizing a an ICO, best look beyond the white paper, roadmap and targets.
You should be looking out for a credible and experienced team.
A working product, targeting a peculiar issue.
And the process by which they going about it...so far.

to evaluate the ico project you can visit this website https://icobench.com/icos there provide a very clear information with a very easy to understand and the availability of advisors that can help you by giving the rating in the ico is...

In order to evaluate the project, whether it is suitable for investments, it is necessary to get acquainted with the technical document, understand what is being discussed. Evaluate the perspective of this direction in general, then look at the team, it was successful before it, successful projects, experience in this direction. Well, if you already have a ready product or service. It's great if there are strong partners and consultants. Now I'm working with the EON Protocol project - I'm happy with everything here, it passes the criteria - a good profit is possible.

to evaluate the ico that has the potential to see white paper, find out the extent to which projeck developments and also the team of developers who support the project.

This is a serious task for today! You need to work out the ICO rating scheme. Study white paper, road map, team members. Perhaps someone from the team took part in other projects, maybe even successful. And of course, pay attention to the HYIP around the project!

On the Internet there are many different sites that evaluate projects on many factors. Also there is a short information about ICO.
https://icobench.com/icos
https://icorating.com
https://icowatchlist.com
https://icotracker.net

First of all, always do your own research before investing in a project.

Looking at the project as a whole and looking at the team behind it, is very important to make a correct decision.

If I can give you guys my opinion, I discovered an exciting ICO that is very interesting: RAWG.

Check out this great article from Entrepreneur, one of the most popular business-related magazines, which has spoken with RAWG founder, Gadji Makhtiev.

https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/316194 (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/316194)

RAWG is a blockchain-based platform for gamers that was born last year in the heads of Gadji and RAWG CPO Alexey when they found out that their gaming website Kanobu attracted users for their gaming database.

The ICO will start in a short period and they are at the moment in pre-ICO phase. This is the ICO site: https://token.rawg.io (https://token.rawg.io)/. It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services (the site is already working, with more than 57,000 games in the database) and, which is very interesting, they have already reached the soft cap.

Have a look and get some information while doing your own research!

Reviewing reviews from these sites should only be a reference and the decision must come from your own research and judgment. ICO investment is not simple and risk-taking, careful research initially will help investors limit the risk to the lowest level.

this is still a conversation when we take advantage of ICO project that does have a very good potential, not only profit but behind it will also appear criminal actions if those who intent to do evil know that ICO is really good then the need for some regulations that are binding

I think that now there are no 100% criteria for evaluation. I can recommend only to pay more attention to the team and to the publicity of the project

for now we should really check ico for success and the bank among those who can not develop properly and the most correct way is to examine how the team of developers and also the people in it. because I think the team is very influential in the development of an ico.

It is very important which team has experience in this area, it is necessary to look at the experience of developers. You also need to see that the advisers were with extensive experience in the field of this project. And the most important thing is that the idea is unique or at least in demand.

Identifying a potential ICO project is not easy:
- Read the white paper of the project
- Check all project developers on LinkedIn
- Read reviews from other users

Indeed, investments in ICO projects are associated with huge risks and are not regulated by law. However, it is through investments in ICO projects that you can get a huge profit. It is necessary to choose the project for investment very carefully, first of all it is necessary to pay attention to all technical documents (white paper, road map and others), project team and advisers.

I personally look at the team, their experience and skills. Then I analyze the project to figure out the potential and the relevance of the project with blockchain technology  ;)

Personally i dont trust rating site like ico bench and ico trackr...there is many ico's rated very well but in the end the ico is just a scam

but the fact is that even those resources that deal with ratings can also abuse their capabilities. so do not trust 100% of someone, because you need to make the most effort for analysis.

I also assessed the potential of the project a lot through the way the project publicized the information about its ICO project. Team DEV with clear information with experienced members in the cryptocurrency market will be of interest to me.

Evaluating is very important when you are wanting to invest in some ICO,  understanding their platform very well is a key point to choose a good ICO. Spending a lot of times to read their whitepapers and studying their roadmaps are also the good ways to evaluate an ideal projects. The persons behind those projects are important to determine whether an ICO are legit or scam.

for that before investing ICO is suggested to further research the project where we need to know the purpose and plan project by reading white paper, not all types of ICO at risk

Investing in ICO is a highly risky direction, but also very profitable. Carefully study the project, read white paper, you can write to the developers in the telegram chat and communicate with them. Just a very important fact - is to find out whether the site has published real developers or is a fake

First of course we can see his website whether it has quality or not, Second you can read the whitepaper and see the vision of the project whether the potential for the future or not,

First of all ,potential project are rare and other who look like potential project can end up as fail project.unique idea ,renown advisor and pre product deliverance is a must criteria that project will succeed in future rather than just delaying timeline.

Spend time observing and tracking information about devs and what happens when they try to find partners or expand the community( twitter, blog, facebook, medium). A potential project is always a consistent and uniform team. One more time. Watch them for longer periods of time to get to know the community on the telegram. Of course, the first step should be to consider the idea, wp, roadmap ...

Pay careful attention to the team and their LinkedIn. Do some research, examine their connections and claimed past projects, make sure it is all legitimate and not fabricated

A great way would be to take a look at the team behind it and to gauge their efforts on social media. Ive been tracking a project called spotcoin and apart from great fundamentals the team posts regular updates and is very responsive. Do check it out, looks quite promising and is based in the neo platform.

Yes you are absolutely correct on this. Spotcoin does seem very promising to be honest and the ico is set to take place this month. They are generally very active in social media, and are very quick in answering any questions as well, interesting times ahead.

First of all, I look at the team and project advisors. Then I search for reviews among experts, as well as on various sites that publish information about ICO projects and in the Telegram groups. Most often this information is enough for me.

100% is impossible to assess good ico or not, we can rely only on intuition and experience, and always remember that you can lose your money

First is don't get caught at the hype of their ICO because they probably paid crypto youtubers to shill it that is part of their marketing strategy. Check the team and their past experiences that stand out.

The investment community needs to standardized a basic verification checklist for new ICO’s to present along with their white papers and slick pitches.
IVC: ICO Verification Checklist
Or MDC: Minimum Diligence Checklist.
This is some information to evaluate an ico. Thank you.

You are correct. ICO has a high risk to investor but there are some certain rules that i follow when choosing an ICO I Hope this will help :)
1. "Timing" does the current market need this project ?
2. "Project" what problem do they solve ? Does the people need this project ?
3. "Team"  can it be executed by the team ? are they composed of a team who can build the project they have proposed
4. "Token Metrics" Are they to Greedy ? or those the token metrics respects the community or just the investors within ?
5. "Instincts and Experience" you may encounter many ICO projects ICO are simply like choosing a friend if you have a bad feeling about the ICO you better stay out :)

I Hope This Helps a lot :)

Choose a good project that will bring a solid profit-a great science and it takes a lot of effort .I come to the selection very carefully-I follow the project as it develops-I go in the middle if all my criteria pass. Now I'm cooperating with several projects, one of them is the Eon - I think there will be good results here, ;)

To my mind, the main aspect of finding a good ICO is doing a research on the developers and their portfolio.

You should find answers to the following questions:
- What companies do they cooperate with?
- Do they have any successful previous experience in the subject matter of the project?
- Is there a working (beta) version of the product?
- Are the people presented as the project team REAL?

By analyzing all these aspects you can at least sort out the projects that look like an obvious scam.

I rarely invest in ICO projects because there is a lot of scam. And even experienced investors sometimes make mistakes. I try to evaluate by the state of documentation in project.

You are right ICO is a very risky Investment so we must be selective in choosing the right ICO and things I do to avoid ICO scam I usually take an ICO project which is managed by a professional bounty manager like yahoo62278, Sylon, needmoney , and BlockEye the name of the name is a manager who I often follow the project because of the possibility of his ICO project was a huge success.

To choose good ICO projects to get involved in, you have to look at their project and see if:

1. the ICO has an experienced team;
2. the project is good and will have success, because it's a real project related to blockchain technology and with a sustainable tokenomics.

Looking at the project as a whole and looking at the team behind it, is very important in my opinion.

There are many interesting projects to check out and others not, so it's important to choose wisely.

If I can give you guys my opinion, I discovered an exciting ICO that is very interesting: RAWG.

Check out this great article by Sergey Ulankin, RAWG's Editor-in-Chief, where he explains what has been done so far and what will be the future updates:

https://medium.com/rawg/wp-bits-5-vision-and-current-state-69127bfbeb2a (https://medium.com/rawg/wp-bits-5-vision-and-current-state-69127bfbeb2a)

The ICO will start in a short period and they are at the moment in pre-ICO phase. This is the ICO site: https://token.rawg.io (https://token.rawg.io)/. It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services (the site is already working, with more than 57,000 games in the database) and, which is very interesting, they have already reached the soft cap.

Have a look and get some information while doing your own research!

Another interesting point: RAWG has already secured $5m USD, halfway to hard cap of $10m!

Personaly I, check ICO’s whitepaper and search it in IcoBench. For me that’s enough

Yes, it is true that investments in ICO projects are associated with huge risks, because this market is still very young and not protected by law, and for scammers it is a very attractive environment. However, if you learn to analyze and select promising projects, you can make good money. First of all, when analyzing the ICO project, you should pay attention to the following: all technical documents ( white paper, road map, etc.), project team and advisors, ratings and reviews.

there is a lot of information about the fact that the United States of America, as well as Russia, will bring their legislation to such standards in order to control and regulate the company's ico. In fact, it can be a way to reduce the number of cheaters in this business. But other users of crypto currency may suffer.

if the ICO attend blockchain conference and have good advisor board and admin reveals everything about the market and future roadmap upcoming ico should be active in social profiles and answer all questions and these are the qualities required for new ico

The best way is to study as much as possible about ICO. Roadmap, white paper, all available documents, who is the founder and everything related to reliability of the project. A lot of information can be found in social media, especially about the team.

Best way to evaluate would to check everything about the project, whitepaper, roadmap, and the team of course and their reputation.

Look out for the team wand their LinkedIN profiles to know their previous work and their credibility. Then look for the project backing up the coin and how much coin is important in running that particular project. Make sure that token isn't just a way to raise money, it should have utility in actual project. then you can look for their roadmap and time your hodl according to it that when you want to sell, whether the coin would get listed on exchange by that time or particular update will be out by then etc etc.

I've been working with hhch projects for about a year, and according to my observation there are some rules-you need to know: carefully read the white paper, see what you are offered. Look at the team (did the guys in other projects, their reputation, their social networks, see what they were doing)  8) What are the sponsors of the project and the advisers - who are they? Look on the Internet whether the press writes about the project and what otsentki give resources monitor project ico. I have just taken the project of the EON - a promising site for blocking games. Ico very actively goes.

simply take a gander at what number of the coins that have been sold by the ICO has just achieved the objective in the set. In the event that yes, obviously, ICO is so conceivably the more noteworthy future.

You might to check out the whitepaper to see how convincing it is and if the project is a pretty good one. However this doesn't exactly proffer solutions nowadays, seeing that majority of the scam projects even have more convincing whitepapers than the legit ones. You might want to go further and find out if the team members behind the ICO are reliable and also if the projects meets your interests.

 actually for now to analyze which ICO project is potential is rather very complicated. because there are so many ICO projects that only scam. maybe the first step you find out in advance about the ICO, you can search from the web or from other social media

You need to see the project potential in market and you have to assess like is there any competitors for the targeted market. Need to see the team strength and experience. Potential partnerships between huge corporate companies. They need to develop the project code minimum before raising the capital like MVP.

If you are looking for a detailed guide which will show you each and every step in-details, both practically and in theory, please visit: https://www.coinpoint.net/icoguides/ and triple your funds in no time.

I quite agree with you, especially with the current crypto world situation and also the many scam ico lately, added by differentiating which ico is good and which ico is not good enough, but now there are also some ico it's good it's just that it's hard to find a good ico, because the ico rating on an ico site can't be a determinant whether or not the ico is good, sometimes ico that has a good rating actually becomes a scam ico.

Strongly agree with you because if a team of developers does such a thing, surely the team is also famous at every event.
With events like ICO Bazaar, ICO marekting, everything will be easy to FAQ every question from the customers.

I always see from the Development Team first, if the developer time has been experienced, then I will choose it.
ICO can run with the power of funds and an experienced development team.

There are several important criteria: the project should be rated well at rating platforms (for example www.icogudie.com), it should have good team, idea should be interesting and promising, project should be regularly updated and transparent.

IPO is more safe because company should comply with government regulation. We know that cryptocurrency still not regulate in many country and thats why we should make a research before join in some ICOs. Scam ICOs give bad perspective to people because its like a jungle and no law can touch it

Today, when following any ICO, I always look for the transperancy of it. The more information they have, the more trusted they gain from their customers.

evaluate the project is a very difficult process. Currently, I would say that it is even impossible. It is better to wait when the ico projects will be regulated by the state

To invest in a good ICO you need to be experience in the cryptocurrency market, that experience will enable you to analyze the project you want to invest in. Things to look out any ICO you want to invest in are things like project roadmap, the white paper ,the website , what is the project all about does it have a working product that is to say what is the token/coin use for ?. And also look out the popularity of the project doe's it have reputable name or firms backing it. What's the soft cap and hard cap have it reach soft cap. These and many other factors need to be considered before investing in the project in fact there many good project to invest in. Take a look out sportsfx this ICO has already reach it soft cap and the token sales is starting on the 9th of Oct. =  https://www.sportsfix.io

Pay attention to the development team, professional performance evaluation, product, technology and marketing ! A good project should be different and stand out from all to be successful !

Explore the website of the project. Study the white paper, Look at the bounty Manager, Explore social networks. Communicate with the administration of the project.

There are many factors in selecting a right ICO:

Team
Timeline
Media and Community
Code Samples
Regulation
Distribution
Purpose
White Paper
Global Potential
Circulating Supply

If an ICO has all the above mentioned Points then you can invest in the ICO.

‘List of ICO’ is the place to be in, if you are looking for a comprehensive guide to ICOs across the globe. You get the latest live token sale and ICO updates. The platform also supports you to launch your own ICOs, You can also read the latest articles and blogs on the website.

I'm not an investors, since i prefer to purchase coins that already present in the market.
But in order to choose a good ICO, I usually checking all their provided data thoroughly, making sure that the data is original.
Including the team behind that project, also any data that came from any 2rd party if possible.

Check out this article to help choose the right ICO

The Evolution Of ICOs: What’s Changed?

https://medium.com/financex/the-evolution-of-icos-whats-changed-f3171201f7ff (https://medium.com/financex/the-evolution-of-icos-whats-changed-f3171201f7ff)

Because of too many scam and shit projects still going on this days I personally think that evaluating a potential ICO is very hard even the documents are genuine and the team behind it is well organised we cannot be very confident that this projects will going well in the future there are so many team/developers that are very accomodating and kind in ICO stage and too good to be true but upon the completion of ICO they seldom released updates hard to reached or no updates at all.

Even though I haven't been to Cryptocurrency recently and still have little experience. But I am looking for a good project by checking first. Usually, I check through the website display and read a whitepaper. Then I checked the achievement of token sales. I have to look for sales of tokens that have achieved a soft stamp because that is very important.

you should check the team behind the project. and check the advisors as well. if there are any known member or advisor announced or not. if not, it is really risky to invest in.

There is no need for too much difference if an industry is getting attention from everyone. There will be a lot of companies and startups offering their solutions to change it. Similar to crypto, there will be many similar projects of desire in a market. However, it is different how it changes and how it changes

The most important thing is to read the whitepaper. Take some time to go into details and to read the docs. I would also recommend to check the team members and the community stats on twitter, facebook and telegram.

when I want to evaluate an Ico project the first thing I do is read the WP from the ICO project, then I compare it with a similar ICO project, if the WP that they have is the same as the ICo that I have, I tend to leave it. The second thing I did was see the team from the Iico project, if one of the Teams had a history of scams I also left it. so that's what I do in evaluating an ICO.

One way you can evaluate an ICO project is by reading their whitepaper, checking the team behind it and it would be so much better if they can show you a minimum viable product. It's important that the team behind it has a good public track record and highly experienced as they will play an important role in managing the project.

Evaluation of the prospects of the project, it is quite a time-consuming process, which can be divided into several stages:
1. It is necessary to assess the prospect of the proposed business idea, as well as try to present its market conditions. It is important to study the project from the position of a specific market segment, taking into account trends and actions/achievements of direct competitors.
2. Then assess the prospect of a business idea, but from the standpoint of its blockchain. Here in the first place clarify the following:
how necessary is the blockchain, and if he brings his token is a real benefit; what problem is solved by the blockchain, because decentralisation is needed not everywhere; so whether you need your token to the project, and what his ecosystem.
If there are no obvious answers to these questions, it is likely that the project has no real value or is created to release another cryptocurrency just for the sake of cryptocurrency. There are a lot of such projects, because there is a demand for them and many novice investors act on a simple principle – buy everything you see.
3. At the final third stage, the development team and its environment – the main investors, advisors, managers-are considered. The analysis of the figures behind the project is a mandatory step in assessing the prospects of the ICO. Even if it is difficult to assess the usefulness of the idea, but the project is developed by well-known programmers and support figures from the crypto world who do not need advertising, the probability of success increases significantly.

At this moment, it is really hard to filter out the real project. My technique to know some is through looking at their telegram account and see how things go there. I observe it and decide whether or not I will invest my time in it.

not all the projects could afford good advisors so many of them invite unknown people but still remain quality ICO.

Yes I agree with your statement. We need to scrutinize all available data they shared to us to determine if they are legit.

I don't think Im in a liberty to give any big advises but you know,  just my personal reasoning... I look at their Whitepaper. Literally the whitepaper. The design. I look at the design of the website. And lastly, their social media accounts. I get really turned off with Inactivity. and get impressed with those who has updates daily. I feel like when you want to sell something, sell it properly. And people can start doing that by their social media updates..
