Bitcoin Forum

Hello everyone!

I am new in ico, can anyone give any tips or advices which websites to use, how do you choose ico's where you want to participate? Which upcoming ico are worth participating? Thank you!

For a large list of ICO goto, ICO becnch, Tokenmarket, For selected ICO visit coinfunda.com, bitcoinexchangeguidee.com

I personally like Zilla (https://zla.io/en). They have a nice app for Android and IOS. Additionally, you can invest directly from the app.

I recommend using www.menlo.one/# they serve as an ICO marketplace that will give you a good and honest ratings on each upcoming ICO. The good about them is they serve as a platform where you can directly join any ICO, manage your KYC information, and build your own community.

Most ICOs are scams, and even legitimate projects have a low chance of success^[1]. The odds are stacked heavily against you, so I would personally discourage you from participating at all. It's true, however, that the upsides are pretty promising, so if you really want to go for it, make sure you do your due diligence: read the white paper, Google the team members, scrutinize their claims, etc. Good luck!

Use the ico ratings websites the users above have given you in tandem with the following ICO analysis guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3752728.0

You can never do too much research on a project.

Good luck

Hello, my suggestion to you is to create twitter and telegram accounts and follow ppl/accounts that review icos (e.g. brad laurie, coin bloq, coin crunch, ohheymatty and others). Good one is also top 7 ico i think is called. This will give you an idea of what projects are talked about and based on influencer reviews you can direct your research. Make sure you always do your own research! Never follow anybody’s calls blindly. This way you save a lot of time as a lot of the projects that are not worth the research time will be skipped. Also heck icodrops.com ico register, you can see all the past, present and future icos. You need to decide based on what you choose projects you will participate in, but for example Charles from Coin Bloq explains before every video what is he looking for in a project. Hope this helps

Use the ico ratings websites and do research , watch best ICO reviews videos and after you can invest to good project.

There are so many scam ICOs nowadays. Make sure do your reasearch before you invest into them.

ICO is the most profitable way to earn money in crypto space according to my knowledge. But you have to find a good ICO. There are a lot of scams IOC in here. Always do a personal research before by from any ICO. Read the whitepaper and try to verify the team members from various resources. In these days, I'm very interest on ongoing ICO called Guarium (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3293429.0). I think it is a good opportunity to invest in promising ICO.

The main ICOs platform I use is the ICO drops and ICO hotlist, but as I know there are still many ICOs platform, while if any team has created an ICO project and ready to launch for presale / crowdsale, they will usually put a submission to the site. I am not sure how the platform would determine whether the ICOs are scam or not before they post it. So you may actually see not every platform would have the same ICO project, or a ICO project would not be displaying in every platform. That is the reason for me to use icodrops and icohotlist as I think their information are clear and trustworthy. It definitely takes time for you to experience more from different sites, while you may also think other platforms suits you too.

How I review an ICO, I do not only depend on the ranking or rate given by the ICO platform, I have some criteria
1. White paper , by viewing the content, how this ICO projects is trying to contribute, by any feasible method, any analysis, any reasonable prediction and actions
2. The team: not only the team and advisory profile, but also check how they contribute in their social media network, like the telegram group(no. of followers, how they interact, what are they posting), facebook, medium, twitter activities, how do they really know about the market, how do they contribute and trying to give to the potential investors.

I think this effort does affect my judgement to support the ICO or not, even if the project may not be successful might not directly means that the ICO is a scam, but definitely you have to put your own effort and time to investigate more and do not fully rely on any analyst comments.

Those 2 sites are best and top on my personal list. You can find ratings from those sites. But ratings are not enough to invest. Do your own research about the project before you invest it. Read the whitepapers, find the team members and advisors, future project updates, partnerships, token allocation, soft cap and hard cap are key things to find before you invest. My personal opinion is learn first before you invest.

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

If I can give you my opinion, I discovered an exciting one, which I just joined the bounty campaign: RAWG.

By the way,in these days, they also launched a special bounty, which allows you to get up to 100 dollars for a single tweet or facebook post!!! Depending on the number of your followers.

Have a look, because it is a great opportunity to quickly earn a nice amount of their tokens:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4147507.msg40536596#msg40536596 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4147507.msg40536596#msg40536596)

If you want to have a look and get some information, the ICO will start in a short period and now is open the private pre-sale.

The ICO site is this one: RAWG (https://token.rawg.io/). It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services.

You can earn tokens by playing your favorite games. The site is already working, with more than 50,000 games in the database and new games are getting added every day. This is the site: https://rawg.io/ (https://rawg.io/)

Quite good looking, don't you think?

The good thing here, in my opinion, is that they have already collected $5 million dollars in the pre-sale (out of a hard cap of $10 million) so this project is already successful in raising funds even before the starting of the crowdsale, since they already passed the soft cap.

Have a look. I hope this information is helpful!

You do your own research. Most of these ICO tips websites are paid so you can't lean on their own suggestion.

Not all ICOs can be your own hope to make that much money, most of them aren't reliable and results to pump and dump coin.

I won't give any to you, buying bitcoin and HODL is better.

I think there’s no way possible for anyone to truly find out what the team behind the ico is planning to do. Looking for advice as well!

I think this is easily solved:
1. Deanonimization of the team
2. One of the local and respected members of the bitcointalk makes an audit (visit team, cheack mvp etc...) - this can even be considered as a part bounty program

This is so useful topic!!
Thanks to author for it!
Thanks to everyone who shares good links.
I was looking for that information too.
How can I save that topic?
Is here some ability to save the chosen topic? Can anybody explain me please?

I would recommend to pay attention to these factors: they must have a good Whitepaper, read it scrupulously, cause some ICO just steal somebody's else Whitepaper and just change the name of the project. They must have MVP on their website, cause lots of projects like to write how cool they are, but don't have anything except these pompous words. Their employees should have profiles on Linkedin, for example, cause scammers are afraid of revealing their personality and often they whether don't have any profiles of steal somebody's photos. Check their groups on the different social networks, they should be active and not filled with bots and fakes. Check their profile on GitHub. I would recommend you to pay your attention to Cryptics - forecasting platform which does use 100% AI. Their project does satisfy with all these requirements.

Recent time I often hear about this Cryptics. I think this planform worth attention if people so often write about it. Gonna check up their website.

I am also new and am finding youtubers to be very helpful with ICO's.

i have a question.when you just have newbies,(not Jr member),did you do any ico?

Follow this section in bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=238.0 and you gonna find many interested ICO you can participate in it if you want

How can I find a good Pre-ICO?

Hello :),

Instead of giving you advice on which ICO to invest, I would like to advise you to do your own research and do not rely on others to tell you where to invest. How ever I can refer you to some links where you can monitor ICO
masternode.online
masternode.pro
https://icotracker.net
https://icomonitor.io/

PS: Do not invest more then you can afford to loose, do alot research. :)

It`s not the sites, I think. Most of ICOs have their threads on this forum and here you can see what other people think about their ideas directly and without deceit. Also, I`m thinking, to ask some of more experienced users of forum about their opinion on spesific ICO in PM  wouldn`t harm.

Don't trust ICO rating since they can give a wrong judgement about an ICO. The best method is to invest in an ICO that is related to a field you are familiar with and will understand the concept by analysing the project yourself with the whitepaper and the claim they team are making.

To view the rating at the investment stage, I always use several sites, but you answered correctly that you should always have a chat at hand where real people disassemble each project, reveal a scam. https://icobench.com/ https://icomarks.com

ICOs are very risky nowadays. Because there are a lot of scammers in crypto space. Some YouTubers promote scam ICOs. Becarefull. Before investing on an ICO, do a huge research that covers a lot of area of that particular ICO. https://cryptodiffer.com is good ICO listing site and you can get just an idea from that. Also, visit https://www.vivanetwork.org/, I believe this project is good ongoing ICO because of the project concept and project team.

Agreed. Investing in ICOs is risky and should be done with the upmost care and research:

Here's five tips to spot the trash ICOs

1. An inexperienced team
 
If the team is comprised of individuals that lack experience or gravity in the crypto sector, then this can be a warning. The presence of venture capture capitalist known in the field should be a big green light – without these individuals, then this could be cause for concern.
 
2. No use case for the token
 
If the token can be replaced by Ether or BTC, then it’s not really needed. For example, in my early investing days I sank some investment in a HR tokenised platform. It had its own native token on the platform to buy services and also then added BTC and ETH. Effectively, there was no need for anyone to use their token. In the end, it was vapourware – all investors lost hard.
 
3. Poor community on Bitcointalk or Telegram
 
Community can make or break a coin. When times are tough, does the team display the integrity and grit to get the job done. How enthusiastic and committed are the community members? If the team convinces others that they are in it for the long haul, then this is a massive plus. This, in the end, is your judgement call.
 
4. No signs of a major exchange
 
This one is a tough one. Platforms during the ICO are not allowed to talk about exchanges for legal reasons so you have to consider many threads to take a view on whether it is likely to make it onto a big exchange (consider community size, backers, whitepaper, team aims). Getting on the Binances and Bittrexs really does benefit the early investor.
 
5. Public sale is too long
 
It’s better to raise 100% of $15 USD than 50% of $50 million USD. I’m not a fan of these mega long ICOs that tie up your investment. Quality ICOs over an acceptable time frame work best.

Have u guys hear about miracle tele

I Like the look of IDAP. The IDAP platform design is a blend of the best practices of traditional exchanges and the opportunities available to the crypto market. The platform aims to resolve the existing challenges faced by the users of current crypto exchange platforms.

It will offer crypto trading, derivatives and ETFs. A very exciting ICO to check out.
