Bitcoin Forum

I have a few questions for members of this forum who have invested in an initial coin offering (ICO).

1. In your opinion, what is the best ICO ratings website?
2. How long does it usually take for your initial coin offering (ICO) to hit the exchanges?
3. Lastly, what are your tips on finding a winner?

I have invested in 3 ICO in January and they still didnt reach the Exchange :

Do you think this is normal ?

1. I only trust ICODrops
2. Mostly not long before 1 month of time.
3. Always pay attention to the team and advisers.
This is not normal. You need to find out how they are doing at all. Is work going on, because it's possible that you got to scammers

1) You can compare different ICO rating websites and the rating of  some reviewers like Ian balina, but Icodrops is a good one.
2) After the unlocking of the tokens it will reach first decentralized exchanges like Idex and Forkdelta. After that in a few weeks it hit other exchanges. Mostly are HitBTC and Kucoin exchanges where new tokens list.
3) Invest only in something who you believe and do your own research.

1. I prefer to use ico holder
2. sometimes to reach the exchange takes 1-3 months
3. I always do research on ICO before deciding to invest, I read their whitepaper, map their maps, see and check their team.

Sure, I'll answer them! For number 1 question that would be icodrops. Have a look at their history of featured projects and see how many have reached 100% on sale and how many reached their softcap. I think a majority of them. So guys are great at picking and weeding out good projects. For number 2... it depends, some hit it the next day, some in a week, some in a month and some never (especially if it turns out to be scam). But usually it's like this. Good project hit good exchanges soon after sale. Bad projects are struggling with that and mostly end up on bad exchanges with bad liquidity and poor volume. The last question... that is the hardest one to answer. Everyone has their own opinion on the matter. Lately I am looking at some ICO reviewers spreadsheets, like OhHeyMatty's, Balina's and TheGobOne's. Have a look at that.

1 Icodrops, because that based on the community's vote. It not getting paid by scammer to listed the ico into the icodrop's site.

2 That depends on the how long the ico itself. And if the team is really active to create any communication with the exchange site and i should say that it will be taking a short time to be listed on the exchange site.

3 Try to search low cap with high rating ico. that will always give you instant profit.
