Hi, I found ICO spreadsheet, where you can look ICO rating and understand where to invest!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12bJmLfCf02VIrBg4DPrTeR_hqGE6V5dorgMglPUOwSA/edit#gid=0

Now we can say Thank You by sharing some Merits ! (you are NOT loosing any Merit of your own when you are giving away sMerits)

Thank you for sharing, but this spreadsheet very personally. We can only refer to spreadsheets, the remaining investment is our decision. Be responsible for your money.

We are in a bull market and I will not invest any ICO for now. Ongoing ICO's are going to be failure.

I agree that of course it is interesting document, but the only way to chooss ICO to invest is your(my) own research. And to tell the truth i can't be sure that ICO reviews made by other poeople/agencies are objective enough. So i Will have a look of course to start my researches from your favorites. Thank you)

Are you talking in general that all ICOs are going to be a failure? it's okay if you won't invest with any of them because of that.

But if most of the on going ICOs are going to be a failure, it only means that all of them are useless and aren't worthy to invest and participate.

Some projects will succeed but not most of them will do.

Make sure that these spreadsheets are for reference only and to make more investment decisions you need to study a lot more. ICO investment is the most important thing is to select the correct project so study carefully before deciding to invest.

A lot of people are saying that ICO this year will not in a good position. Well, I participated in some bounty and yet I don't receive any token so I can say that most of the ICO will not succeed.

I appreciate your works, but you don't need to ask for some Merit because this can be consider as Merit farming. Be careful :)

For new new investors and bounty hunters referencing to the spreadsheet that you made is a good idea and hopefully you already made the necessary evaluations in the ICOs that is listed here. For newbies they still need to evaluate what is listed before investing or joining the ICO so that they can assess their risks specially when time and money will be involved.

Thank you for sharing but the choice is always on us if we want to invest or not and then you can do your own research regarding in the project if it is legit or not and ofcourse always look in the team together the whitepaper and roadmap of the project.

I also think that this time ico should not participate because the period is terrible change. This time should only invest the "coin" ranking for a little revenue. The ico projects to add more time will be more appropriate now.

Are you the one who created this spreadsheet? or do you take someone else's property?
if this belongs to someone else, you should include a source link, otherwise you will be considered plagiarism and your account can be banned permanently.

Yes you are right, not every cryptocurrency in the market is profitable because some of the ico's are scam and that is the reason why not every people believes about cryptocurrency that is good for long term investment.

The spreadsheet and ICOs list look good to invest, but I couldn't find the date information on the table. There are lots of good ICOs fundraising are going on the right which is missing from the list. I want to say keep updating the spreadsheet time-to-time if you want to help the community.

just look at the ico list on bountyhive, there you can choose ico that you will invest based on its rating.

Don't trust to anyone for investment ..always do the your own research before investing.

It's a nice effort but as bounty hunter I am not agree with this top 7 or top 10 ICO's because there is no big reward for bounty hunters in such campaigns. When an ICO becomes very famous then it's participants also increases and it will divide the bounty reward and you will not get anything. As per my observation we have to find an ICO that is not very very famous but an ICO which is going to cross hardcap. Then there is a chance that you will get smart earning. 

We are in a bear market, not bull market :)

There are many programs on different video portals about the crypt, where they disassemble each project and tell what the pros and cons of the project.

and that is challenge so we don't waste time, by getting unsatisfactory results. for good ico, sometimes the token sales are also not satisfactory. i think choosing a manager bounty is an effective way

Meehn… 🙄did someone just say that we are in a Bull run and they wouldn’t buy ICO cause of that? Please which bull run exactly, because the market I’m seeing now is quite slow and is not making any fast move? We shouldn’t take what happened last year to determine what will happen this year, this year is different and such a thing has never happened. Sorry, we are talking about ICO here and not about bull run and blah blah blah…. And thanks to op for his spreadsheet.

I have bookmarked the sheeet. will look into it in a free time properly. BTW. do you update this regularly or not? I think it would be good initiative if you update the sheet regularly with the best ICOs .

I hope they have good bounties to join.

Edit: would be nice if you link the project names with the ICO website link.

In my opinion, investing is really a risk. Have a research about the ICO that you are choosing just be smart on your decisions. It is a challenge for an investor to be involved on the crypto world.

This is true. In investing to ICO, you only need to trust is yourself, it is about being conceited and you think about yourself without thinking on others opinions because there is a possibility that it is not good, and it is just some mere of subjectivity. Research is the key.

Choosing right ICO is something that totally has to do with your own knowledge to identify scam ICOs from good ones and without that knowledge there is nothing you can do as a person. That knowledge is something that is pretty lacking for a whole lot of people in this space, and that is something that obviously, has made a lot of them find it hard to even be able to at all, know what they should be investing in and what they should not even be bothering themselves with since they cannot carry out due diligence effectively.

Investing is always going to be risky and the only way you can manage the risk at all, is to at least have some knowledge on how to handle them. I really would not see it as a challenge for a smart investor as they always will be able to know how they can handle themselves, what they should be looking out for and how they should be investing when it comes to ICO investment.

Being smart is kind of proportional to being knowledgeable, and this is the issue some people have when it comes to doing just simple due diligence on the project they are investing in.

That is the thing mate! And a lot of people are not even knowledgeable enough to even trust in their own judgment, let alone be able to find it easy to be able to throw away any scam ICOs since they have no clue what they should even be looking for in the first place.

It takes someone who has the knowledge of what to look for in an ICO that will know that it is necessary for them to at least, take a look at the team diligently, consider the availability of product, and check out the solution the business is providing and all other technical details before even investing. Oh I forgot! Some are even too lazy to do that.

Hope that these ICOs wouldn't end up being a scam project because most of those investors are newbies and only expect to gain and not knowing all the risk behind it.

All the ICO ratings are just a paid boost up rating so many peoples are blindly see the ICO reviews and ratings in google then invest in useless project.
 But we must practically research our own style and analyse the future possibilities of ICO then finally we must see the security of the project. These are the good way to choose best deal in ICO investment.

Accepting an ICO review made by another person or organization is like risking your money in an investment that you know nothing about, it better to carry out your own research your self and one of the tool you can use in doing that is by studying the ICO white paper in that way you can easily discovere whether it a great project with futures of success or not.

 ;D ;D
It is funny because you are openly asking for merits for this not so unique and useful information.

I wont suggest anyone to trust ICO raitings of any kind, they are bought, this is how these people are makeing money.

I've already checked it ad it looks promising. Though of course we should always take it with a grain of salt and don't just invest on ICOs willy nilly. But in my humble opinion, i want to investigate the ICOs myself if they could actually survive and flourish in the market. Such potential is hard to see in ICOs today.

There was the gobone as well he was checking out ICO's and investing on them and ranking them as well and had other investment parts as well. Dude was basically doing all of the research everyone should be doing however unfortunately people are not doing that type of research anymore hence he got really famous for a while (specially during the ICO frenzy when everyone was looking for some ICO to invest and get rich).

I realized something that day, during the bear market no one really wins anything however during a bull market if you invest into tens of ICO's without any thinking, some of them will go down a bit (like half) but that makes it worth it because others go up like %800 from ICO price in a second after ICO ends. People really hit big with them for a long time and really got rich.

The problem in this space is that we have lots of investors who are inexperienced, understand less what they are doing and pretty much have no clue at all. One thing everyone should know when it comes to investment is that the ball is always in their court and whatever they do with it is left for them. This is a space that requires great discipline and knowledge when it comes to investing in ICOs most especially, but that knowledge is something a lot of people tend to just take as a pinch of salt and really do not care to want to have it, and will you be able to thrive in an environment without it?

Now  is the best time for you to begin to care and invest in it.  FRom my experience, we should Choose the right size projects, focus on value and avoid projects with over-hype. secondly, Group analytics and ensure they succeed.Moreover, we also Avoid projects with big "dark intervals" in the roadmap. they.  furthermore,Guaranteed to have reasonable hardcap, any unsold token type should be destroyed and will not have any future products.

good information because you have provided information about the list of ICOs that can be used as a benchmark for investing by offering very good programs, I hope there will be others who want to provide information related to the ICO.

I would actually say most people are just the causes of their own predicaments. This is a space that requires one having to invest, and why will you invest in something when you do not even understand what you are investing in.

It is more like someone giving you a nylon filled up with garbage’s, and telling you to come invest, what would be the first thing to do? That would be to scrutinize the contents and try to see if it is worth investing or not. People just take some of these things with levity when it comes to due diligence and this is the reason we keep seeing more people getting screwed in their investments.

In fact, I too would not suggest anyone to trust anything than themselves when it comes to investment. The thing here is that even the so called rating websites, we have heard so many times in which the experts tend to collect fee just for rating or to change their rating and that has really bastardized the rating system in a way. What should be important to every individual is to have a solid knowledge on how to at least do proper due diligence. It is not a hard task, it is just something that anyone can learn, when it comes to analyzing the team as well as the product availability.

Believing some random people for investment purposes will not have any big differences from just throwing out our hard earned money into sea. Yes, when an investor do not have time to do their own research and analysis then if he follows some random people means, it would be better just donate those money rather than waiting for some returns out of that money.

I mean I'm all for ICOs and their success in the crypto currency exchanges. But this list is actually very much done for. I'm actually venturing to say that sone of these ICOs actually end up becoming sh*t coins. Want my advise? Trial and error and a heck of alot of reading, research and keeping your ear on the ground.

it is indeed difficult for those who are not experienced to choose a good ico, especially in the presale stage. to research it we really need experience and means it requires a process

not only difficult, but there is no good project right now.its very less from much project occur in market.even good project could be dumped in market when it listed to exchange.

Thank you sir! I am glad to see this tips because most of the ICO that I have chosen to participate gone without my notice. There are many scam projects right now which only want to get money from their investors. In my 11 months of joining in cryptocurrency, I got 10 ICO's which I thought to be successful. However, there are also ICO's that gave me more money.

I only invest in an exchange market that is more reliable than having to invest in ICO, because in exchange I can choose coins that have large capacities such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge and others. different from the current ICO project, there are many fraud cases that harm investors because of the ICO project, indeed there are still honest people in marketing, but I am always careful if I want to invest in the ICO.

Investment is the right of each person depends on confidence in the ICO, can not be a benchmark for the google sreadsheet, indeed this year there are very many ico who are scattered scam ends,
well, in investing very much the communication with the organizers of ico, website, etc. so it must be very careful in the investment world.

Before joining for investment at ico project, you have looking for how many investor have participated at ico investment it self, you have asking their channel and look at how many follower of their social media account, you have clearly know about how much their coin sold out ?

Nothing is actually difficult to do as long as you keep your mind to doing what you know is right. In fact, some times, when I see people investing in certain ICOs, I tend to wonder if they are just not cautious enough or they are pretty just too lazy to do some little findings on the project before investing.

Digging up on the team, checking their previous works as well as the interconnection between them and the current project, the availability of a minimum viable product, and the solution they are bringing that would create some good demand in the long run. All these things don't take hours before finding out what is worth investing or not, I guess people want to invest, but they are too lazy to know the right thing to do.

Normally I do not invest into stuff that I can't understand the concept myself, I do not like the features that looks like they are not needed in crypto world right now, however I just did a silly investment myself. I bought a cryptokitty. It is not an ICO I know but it showed my flaw that if I like something enough, I can invest into it without even caring about whitepapers or team behind it and all that.

I didn't even know who was the team behind it, I just know the company name dapper labs or something. Which can translate into ICO and the new coins that's coming up, I can literally invest into something that I want, all great inventions come from a need, if I want something, if I need something and I go out and build a platform for that need, if that's needed by enough other people than you can apparently get your ICO to the top. Just work towards what people need.

I wouLD rather prefer investing on coins like Bitcoin, Etherem, DASH, Bitcoin Cash and stable ERC20 tokens. Investment on stable coin is more safe than investment on ICOs. Ill just trade as much as I can afford on this coins and then store it on a secure wallet. Just be sure that after buying you'll not put your coin in an exchange for too long, that might be gone in sudden. Would be better if you'll be choosing open source wallet like electrum or Hodler wallet for multiple kinds of coins you prefer to hold. In no time your investment will grow since tge price is ever growing.

right, investing in the coins you mentioned, like a real investment, because many ico are prone to fraud and besides that they have to wait a long time. unless we are experienced to choose a good ico

It is not difficult at all! All it just takes is by being observant and learning how to do that. There are a lot of articles online that will always be of help for new ICO investors, the problem with people mostly is that they tend to prefer to skip that part of doing things right as well as doing the right things.

Three major things you want to be checking out in ICOs is the team, the product as well as the business solutions. If you cannot find something convincing enough in all these three, then, trust me mate, it is not worth the risk at all. The ICO space is loaded enough to keep bag holding quite a number of shit coins.

I mean it all good that you actually placed effort and shared what you know to us in order for us to place out bets on ICOs. But the fact of the matter is that i want to know these on my own and i qoukd have to take all the things you have said under advisement and would take it with a heck of a lot of salt.

for now I will not invest in the ICO, because there have been many ICOs that have failed and cheated too. the problem is that many investors are disadvantaged so I stopped investing in the ICO first

If I were to give any advice to anyone looking to invest in icos will be the next, do not invest in icos, icos could be profitable if the whole market was going up but if everything is going down you are just giving away your money since most of the projects that are being released now have no chance of becoming successful and it is likely those icos are scams as well.

better use our money to potential coins in market.maybe top 20 coins in coinsmarketcap could be good decision.this is coins has clear developtment and support from their community.so it has less risk to scam.

At present market i will not take risk to invest into ICOs where market is going down day by day. Now i must observe market before invest and your spd sheet is personal observation and not authentic i think. Before invest into ICO, you must see their roadmap,mission, vision, teamwork, token price, subject overall how well planned they working for that ICO.

ICO review site and spread sheet should serve as a guide, when you want to determine to invest, several ICO reviews are more like an advertising platform, since the developer do pay for a review,  such will most likely be bias, I recommend you invest base on the Team involve in the project and what they have to offer in there whithpaper.

for me the most ICO will choose to invest. and like if a bounty hunter is actually an ICO just want to invest. and I just need to be careful about choosing an ICO to make our investment successful and also be careful because based on my experience about other ICOs that do not all testify should be reviewed thoroughly to avoid scams. and so you can get a proper ICO and have to read its whitepaper so you know it's right or not.

I agree, many are thinking that the fast way to become rich in this market is to invest in an ico and the great majority of those that have invested have not gotten any profits, it is better to dedicate your time to watch the projects that are the most popular in the market and only invest in them once you have decided which one could bring you profits during the next months.

I honestly don't trust this kind of spreadsheets. What is the real source of data for such ratings? I also feel that this might mislead some investors too.

I think listening to industry experts could be one of the ways to choose but lets not forget that they can get paid as well. I have known one expert on that list that took money from 2 ico's and also from a trading bot to promote their products and lie about whats going on with it in order to get the followers to buy the trading bot and fund the ico.

From ICO perspective everything seems innocent since ICO is maybe lying to get funding and spending money beforehand but the more funding they get the closer they will be to the lie they said and make it a reality instead of a lie. However, from the expert perspective it had no innocence at all. I would rather check the altcoin topics on bitcointalk and see the hype meter on reddit about coins to see which one people talk about and the more people talk about a coin the more likely that coin will go up.

now is a difficult time for the development of ico. with so many ico scams, reducing investor confidence in him. many ico are not scams, but after market listings prices go down considerably

The ico season has slowed down so only the strongest and most transparent projects will survive. Something which is fairly unique and has a good team will do well

Thank you for the spreadsheet, but for now I will refrain from investing in ICO projects. And this is not because many of them are a wild and useless scam, but because ICO projects in the current market situation often cannot even collect a soft cap. Even really good projects with the right and unique idea run into problems with fees. For myself, I decided that I would start investing only when the market recovery began. Now there are very high risks. But I really hope that in the coming year, everything will change for the better.

Yes that should be so transparent that people can easily understand without any difficulty. Its now 2019 there are so many projects but choose the one that will promise you to make you earn income more than your expectation. I love ti invest in one and only bitcoin because according to me the best project is bitcoin investment I am sure it will grow .

At this current market condition, i am prefer buying coin from market. Many coin with good project drop the price more than 90% and i think its an opportunity to make profits for long term. I am believe market will recover again and with this current condition, i think buying good coin with working product is good alternative

It is really the best to invest right now.

The price of Bitcoin is now is really low comparing it to the reigning and current ATH, even though it is low, we should be able to take the opportunity to invest again on cryptocurrencies not only on Bitcoin since it is not the only investment you can see on the market that fallen down for a year now. Be patient and always take opportunity even of small changes.

right, by buying coins in the market, we don't wait too long for the listing coins on the exchanger. like in ico, where sometimes the time is back for listings, once the price listing has been destroyed

to choose a good ICO, of course there are many things to consider. well, the first thing to note is how strong the team is, because the team is one of the important points that makes this run smoothly. then the concept of the project, we must see the advantages, and disadvantages that exist in this project, because sometimes a project has a strong team, but the concept they have, has very many very large rivals. and of course no less important is the clarity of the available funds, and the roadmap must also be clear.

Ico's are getting less and less investments by each month, this month has been lowest since before the ICO peak. I just don't understand why there are so many new coins coming up that literally gives nothing of value. If you look at the ICO's that got funded hundreds of millions of dollars, almost half of them are definitely stuff that we either don't need or already have and that makes no sense.

Back in the day when the ICO raze first started there was coins that really improved the current systems we have and really made a difference in the space, right now its just everyone wanting some free money or want to create their own coins. It requires almost no startup capital and you just create a website with good graphics and a whitepaper that basically says its another of the same and everyone just throws their money at them.

Choosing the best currency will be definitely toughest job for any people to make their investment more approved by them so choosing your currency will be made you say when you have experience on that.

ICO review this days has been monetize, therefore it is so rare to have access to objective unbiase  review, thou speedsheet like your is good for the community to serve as a guide when individual are making decision, I have seen ICO review website giving a positive review for a scam ICO.

In my opinion I Invest only in ICO's that are fully regulated and transparent later on you cannot blame others but only yourself if you found out later in the end its a scam that you had invested. Also you need to to fully understand what the project is all about and how can they make revenue out of their product.

List you provided is very good but I don't believe it because I still have a lot of research to do so I don't lose a lot of money when investing but thank you in advance

Soliciting for smerit has never been a good idea of getting miret but making quality posts has been the idea why people give merit.  However,  thank you for sharing this with us and I have been saying that the best way to get information about icos is to look at there rating at ico rating sites and maybe like the spreadsheets you are talking about. I could remember how the rating in one icos site was the reason why i did not invest in global risk project that turned out to be scam projects at the end of the days and my friend lose his $2000 in it.  You should visit the rating sites and see what the reviewers are saying before investing into them.

We should be responsible to our money, don't just believe to other people saying that it's a good ICO to invest in. Nowadays, there are a lot of scammers in ICO projects. Be careful where you will invest in. DYOR!  :)

Thanks for sharing this information, but its very hard time because bitcoin is in the process of correction that’s the reason market is also facing dumps.
So in current situation you have to invest very carefully in any ico.

This list is not the "follow this and make %100 right investments" list, its just a beginning, it is more towards people who do not even check these out let alone do extra research. If you feel like this list is missing al ot of stuff than this list not right for you and keep on doing your extra research.

However, I have seen many people invest into ICO without even thinking about it, I am not joking I have met with people on telegram who have invested into projects without even checking the whitepaper and see what the coin is about only because they have seen the name on couple important twitters and couple reddit posts and that's it. People lack the research to do proper investment somehow ends up investing into scam projects, follow these at bare minimum but of course do more research if you can.

If you are going to invest based on the ICO ratings given by some sites then good luck for you.I won't do just because they have good feedback, remember that everything in this world can be bought.

Everything can be bought? I don't think so.
@ OP that's a nice spreadsheet you have there and it is very interesting. However, the only way to choose ICO to invest with is your personal research about it. Some of the ICO paid agencies to give/provide reviews to their ICO as fake users/investors. It is not objective enough for us to base it on the reviews of some people. You need to make sure that the project the ICO is working with has the potential to reach the global market for it to be a successful investment of you.

Staying away from the ICOS is the best advice I would give to someone new here.
Too many scam accusations and not enough GOV regulation, you dont know what youre in for in the long run
Maybe if GOV start to adopt BTC, then I will take my chances again in ICO

Its true many scam ICOs last year but i think not all ICOs are scams. Many good ICOs with good project and responsible developers team. I think we should not judge all ICOs are scam because i am believe there is ICO investor getting profits from investing on new ICOs

As a 2017/2018 ICO investor, I'm 100% agree with you. The ICO market could reborn on the next bull run or after regulation. Right now is a good time to hold your assets or maybe reinvest them into cryptos that pay dividends. In that case, this list of top cryptos by dividends ROI might help you https://cryptodividend.io (https://cryptodividend.io).

very interesting, but I still doubt how the assessment was done. but this really really helps to choose a good ico.

Its true meyt not all ico are scam because there are still few out there that are known to be legit and seems profitable . @mich most ico are already regulated by govt's  but that cannot totally guarantee that those ico's were legit  .  regulation is only a term that ico and other companies use to make them look legit but deep inside they still have their evil plans   .

I think such failures are brought about by the current market situation. Before, when most ICOs are booming, that's also because of the fact that the ICO department of the market are just rising up, and there is not many competing in the market, unlike now, where there are just so much projects, some even similar with each other. Also, the amount of trust people have in it has dwindled since, and so, that really affects how people view ICOs, choosing not to invest in it anymore. Most people these days are more interested with trading rather than risking in via investing in ICOs.

This is just a guide but nevertheless it could give the better chances of finding the right ICO. But should you ask me for ideas I would suggest that you should not only read at least one resource for finding the right one. It is better to search the internet  especially pages here on bitcointalk.org because certainly you might find people who shares good thoughts about ICO projects. There are also pages here that even reports about SCAMS which could also serves as a good reference for choosing what is best for you.

Your Idea was good but we are in a Bull market so the investment on ICO was very risky so I don't think any type of strategies will not helpful for getting the profit from ICO investment and no one is ready to invest right now because there are lots of existing investment are there to get back.

When you invest in the ICO, I'm sure not everything can run smoothly, sometimes the ICO price when it enters the exchange place, the price will fall and sometimes there is no development at all so that the ico dies, when you invest in ICO the risk is too high.

sometimes choosing ICO makes a lot of people confused, well even I like that. but, I think that can be done by looking at the project they are working on. sometimes, good ICO has projects that other projects don't have. in addition, his team also has experience in various fields. maybe it could be a good enough tool for choosing ICO.

Choosing ico for investment is a big factor. If we invest on fake or dead ico, then our money will be lost. So we should find good ico. For this, we should analyse team member, website, social activities and physical institution also. We should concern about the project that how much potential and profitable it is!

Fine. But the right is gone to invest in an ICO. 2017 has been an year for ICOs. When a token gets listed, the respective coin's value would keep growing. But this was not the situation in 2018. Every coin got listed, could not even reach their ICO prices. Hence, invest in exiting coins which will certainly yield profit. Current situation is good for a day trader.

I think this is not the right time to invest ICO so we will not be continue to make the investment on ICO will not be a good idea because we will had a lot of tokens available in our hands without any value so we can be wait for some good time to see the changes in this market.

We have different types of ICO where we invest because we are different in research also for you.
Can you gived uo update if that all ICO in your list will succedd of reaching their hard cap and also they already listed the coin in their project and they are not scam. Because in the year 2018 most of the ICO failed if not like that they are scam so many people are dcared to invest to ICO.

It's easy to say that but in reality even how deep we research and review chances that the project will just turned to the same thing like what others have dine is possible, is really important to gather broad knowledge regarding to this activity and knows your capabilities to assess well, there's a lots of opportunities for people who love to take chances.

I don’t complicate these stuff since I feel the simplest way you could select right is via checking their rating on internet, as that’s how you will be able to gain through.

I only follow top Upcoming ICOs (https://cryptolinks.com/ico), as I feel that is the way through which I can work fine. And more so, I feel it’s the way through which I can avoid getting into situations which no one likes, at least I don’t know.

So always be wise with selecting up your options, it could be the difference between success and failure.

I find your post quite confusing. Are you referring to this present ongoing market as bull market simply because of the few times increase? Well maybe you need to put more light. In my opinion, this is a very good time to invest but it’s necessary to be vigilant and make proper investigation before committing money into any type of investment. The OP has already given a guide that I think will be helpful in choosing the right ICO to invest in.
