I was thinking about it so i thought to post about it here and discuss about this matter. Actually I have seen many good projects that either paused or cancelled there projects due to long bears market and decline of ICOs, I am talking about 2018 and onwards.
There were some good projects that got discouraged and closed the projects due to low or no funding in the bear market. My personal suggestion would be that the teams should consider reviving their projects now, modify them according to new market needs and then come up with a MVP and then start IEO or ITO as the market conditions seems to be improved now.
So what do you guys think about it?
Which projects or coins come to your mind that could have done well if they were able to raise decent funds?
Also if someone from the team of such projects reads this, he/she can share his thoughts and opinion too.

As long as they did not run with investors money and if they launch an ICO and failed to reach the soft cap and return investor's money I don't see any reason why should proceed with their project they can try again now that the market is better and there are a lot of fo investors coming in but they have to compete with fresh ideas now, and it's not going to be easy.

Maybe they will got success of they rename their projects into DEFI because that much hype is getting on those projects.But I will say they have less chance of getting reveived into a successful one and also they need investors to give funds for the IEO process which isn't going to happen anyways.

ITO is too bad because of the several ITOs running this year there have been many failed ITOs, IEO itself is still promising, for example in binance launchpad a few days ago, the sandbox project it could quickly get 10x more in a short time, but when this looks like another model on sale is on the rise but mostly the ones that did it were DeFi projects.

so you mean they need to follow the hype?

For that they don't need to continue the project they create before and  they need to start a new project change the name and whitepaper completely  new that will only focus in DEFI since the last project they make is focus or have a different roadmap .

Cartesi is one of the most obvious examples of successful ICO projects in recent years. there were also many projects that made strong development and brought a large amount of profit. the main thing is to do a good analysis

Anything with hype is no good as they will disappeared again

DeFi project is able to get attention these times that some project before uses this to be involve in DeFi circle or community. IEO projects will still depend on what their projects aim and what exchange will support them. ITO didn't gain much attention unlike what ICO did, there are many projects look promising by 2018 but it was already hard to distinguish that time if they will succeed or not a scam as the project overflows with same thoughts and uses like the bounty campaigns run by top bounty managers before.

The project with the name DeFi is now getting a lot of interest and even a big hype is happening there. Is this really what investors now believe in the name DeFi? Of course, in the selling process IEO is still used because some investors always want to be in the stock exchange to feel safer.

cartesi is one of the example of one of the successful  project we have this year and OP is looking for failed pause or cancelled project because of low funding . A project  that doesn't have enough attention because of long  bear market season.


 I don't remember any because there are too many of them to list here.

if they really gonna go that path of reviving, they'd better release a product better than the last that they propose otherwise it will still fail for people will just think they now come back because they know the market if good and they can now effortlessly make money. good luck to them because even the 4 eyed cretin will insult them for leaving their community at worse time.

Any projects that was not able to withstand the bear market and close down, even fail to continue to work on the project with no progress on Github then they are just in the space to make money and most projects that were unable to do ICO went to VCs and they received fund to help them through the bear period now the are prime for ICO because they already have a working product

Can you point me to some of these "good" projects? Because all i saw was people were trying all sorts of scams and they didn't get funded anymore. And some good projects didn't have any problem having funding even during the bear run. Naturally they didn't get funded for hundreds of millions but that is insane anyway.

You know there are upcoming projects right and with Defi around now, it is making other types of projects to have bad times booming. Now with this in play, no one will be willing or even ready to look towards a project that was once abandoned by the team. Yes the bear market did a lot of things to the market and yet there were many projects which survived hence there is no amount of reason that this type of projects team ( those that abandoned their project) will give that will make people invest in it again when knowing their past experiences. Instead of trying to revive an abandoned project it is better going for a fresh one.

I think there was a project that actually tried to find a way to get all the dead or almost dead projects to join them as a team and as a whole, that way they could create one big huge project.

The idea would have been like let's say there is a project with 100 million dollars worth of tokens, I know that is a crazy number for starters but I forgot what the price was, then they acquire a dead project which people do have money for, they contact the team of that project, they make a deal, they burn everyone's all tokens in that project and in return give tokens from the new big one, that way there is no more of that dead project but this new project maybe got some of the staff in the other and also the community behind it or whatever is left of it. Not a great idea, that project itself died.

I remember one project called "Kirik" I think. The project was good, there team was active and did a good bounty here in the forum. But when the time came for their ICO the market turned into bearish. They lost their token value as ETH price was also felled. For that they had to pause the ICO that time. After that the project never started and I think they closed it also .

I must agree, I've been seeing a lot of good project these days and there are many projects that is worth to invest in, But I'm afraid that most of the investor would overlook these matter as it can be an open gate AGAIN for scam projects like what happened in 2017 where most of the investors got a negative revenue because of worthless projects. But don't get me wrong, still not all altcoins today is worth of your investment there are only worth to mention like chainlink, trustswap, and the short list goes on.

If they are gonna revive their old project and modify it,
Isn't it much better if they will just create a new one to have a better start. Since they already failed before, it only means that the investors are not interested in the whole project, if they will just modify it, there is a higher chance that they will also fail today if they only modify it without changing the whole project's idea.

maybe the presence of IEO will help a little increase in projects which, like in 2018, experienced a drastic decline. So I think maybe now this is the way to start the revival of the project to be like in the footsteps of 2018.

We're all familiar with the flatline chart that ends in the slow death to 1 sat.  As a result there is no activity on behalf of devs, the core team, and the community moves on.  There's no coming back from that.  For me, a strong community is the #1 indicator for the health of any project.  Without it, projects die.  

I still hold a lot of legacy lottery tickets but to that point, most of those are based on hope and prayers. These days, my only ALT horses are ETH, ZEL, and RVN.  All three have the community, and drive to go next level, and are the only projects that I care about.  

The most reasons why a project was failed at the moment:
1. Similar ideas with other projects
2. No funds enough
3. No creative, innovative, and also developing team members.
4. No good marketing strategy
Well, it may be an idea to revive those good and potential projects. But there must be notes that will not make the projects failed again as happened previously. However, will the team really go to this chance? Probably they will prefer to create new projects that really fit the concept of today's crypto world and necessities than reviving their old projects.

Dead projects are dead projects. They can't be revived. Although the concept can be adopted otherwise and lunched in another project.
Most of the dead projects are scams even the concept looks promising. But promising doesn't always mean real.
However, i would like to mention Doge coin project, which has been left by its team and the progress in developement stopped in early stages. And as the project is still alive by its community, then why not the developement to continue by another team. This just an idea and not truly certain if it's possible to go on with.

I'm sorry to tell you that I don't have one to advise you. Because of inactive for a long time, but what will you do? Invest again in these projects will not be worth it. But I see so many projects that are still active in telegram groups but those weren't failed projects. These projects raise only low money and try to survive.

The modification of uncontinued project can possibly be done. If for the reason why the project stopped was because of the lack of funds, they should settle it first before proceeding to switch into another way to improve their project.

On the other hand, I don't think it is effective for them to relive their abandoned project. Why don't they just make a new project with a fresh, sincere and new motive in crypto industry? With of course, great product. If one project's determined purpose is build, other things will follow.

Thats the thing after the hype of defi everyone seems to find a way to join it. Im sure most of the dead projects are working already to change their concept into defi hype. Im not sure but there are certain project I know exist before now opening up sales, has anyonr heard open predict? I think if Im not mistaken, there is a token traded before but now I see them doing a lots of AMA and will have a sale.

Im thinking dfinance will have a good result. As far as I know they are a project originally from wingsdao, and they launch the dfinance, a new regime of their predecessor. When I visit their telegram they said that they will conduct a swap from wings to dfi coin. Im not sure if they gonna go for any token sale cause the budget looks like not a problem as they have enough funds. I assume a success for this one. Unfrotunately already joined payaccept, they had a campaign too but I dont want to jumping from campaign to campaign.

all projects can do well if let say they meet their required funds because money can do anything . they can hire good devs with that and they can pay to make a good advertisement , etc  but how can they end up gathering good amounts of cash if people simply not attracted to them because they created a poor plan  or a poor product  . now i know why op created this thread  . they can revive or restart again but this time they must give thier best shot

the money they get when offering to investors depends on how the concept of the project is, when they have a project that is very useful for many people then it will definitely be easy to have a good price on an exchange and of course the project will have a lot of support.

I forgot the names of the projects that I joined.
But some of them are really cool.
Yes, that would be a great idea if they can come back.

That is, if they can still afford to do so since they already experienced how it end up.
I mean, it will be another risk.

Either good use cases or utility the risks aren't totally erased yet, there are few good projects in the past that has very good beginning and as time passes by the project will be ruined, after finding good projects always play safe by invest minimal amount you can afford to lose

Look at the projects that withstood the bear market and have a working product now and if they they partnership with some big companies then that would be the projects I would go for.

Only high quality projects with serious use cases and especially those that are in demand in the current market should consider reviving their projects and the better thing will be if they find a big partner or angel investor to do so.

Many 2017 projects went bankrupt because of their poor fund management, just remember the ICO craze back then, projects were successfully raising tens of millions just because of their shiny websites and decent whitepapers. But if their short-sightedness resulted in bankruptcy because they failed to foresee a relatively long crypto winter, its on them. Maybe they could achieve their goals with additional funding now, but I doubt people will invest in half-dead projects as the market is full of vibrant new projects that provide a much better investing opportunity.

yes, there are many who end up not continuing their project until it is listed on the market exchanger. starting from 2018, tens or maybe even hundreds of projects have been neglected due to several factors. the first may be due to the never ending bearish and resulting in a decrease in the ico rate as well and finally many lose prices and don't even reach the exchange market. actually that is not the main problem, keep running the project and someday will definitely get investors for it. but it is indeed difficult, in the 2018-2020 period ICO really lost its trust and it actually made the ICO rate fall even further. should now be a turning point if the project team starts getting serious about the project and things will return to normal or even better.

It will be hard to pick and as far as I can recall they are too many of them but mostly are redundant type of projects. The one I'm afraid of is if they'll just collect funds then does nothing it will be dangerous for investors and just live with the hype of bull market.

That could be there decision. If they are true into their project, it is absolutely that they are willing to continue it. But the question is, how the ccommunity/investors make a response to them since they are already been in question for how many months that they've been quiet and dead. We can't simply give them trust for sure? Because it probably the mind of the people would be in doubts and are not also having the interest to take the risk as well.

They can start again but that doesn't mean that they will be successful this time around, the scenario is very much different on 2018 compared now, there are many new project coming up with a good concept and some of them are concepts that will look like updated and upgrade version of past project that failed to sustain.

I doubt that a project that is paused or canceled will be able to get money from either IEO or ITO if launch nowdays, because could be why they paused or canceled their project because they saw that their project idea was the same as other projects that existed and also some failed in development, and it turned out that the project idea was not something that could be implemented immediately or seems unrealistic.

There's a lot of good projects in the space that didn't get the attention of the investors, maybe if they'll work hard enough in this timing, they will get noticed.
Usually when the market is bullish, investors will be looking to invest on altcoins also, old and new projects as long as it has a potential and the team knows how to hype the project, they'll certainly get invested.

Marketing is the most important in this market where the competition is getting tighter, so I hope we will see some old projects to prosper this time, and I won't be surprise as it's expected.

Big reason for developers to stop or pause their project is lack of interest from investors.

It's tough to compete with so many projects around and if your idea is not that interesting investors won't take  the risk

they will pass this up and proceed with potential project, ideas that have addition to the industries, if now those developers

will go back the competitions is more harder and lots of the same concepts project will surely move the investors away.

When the project became inactive and that means there was a problem that happened with such project. When the problem is not yet resolved and it will be only wasting a lot of our time to revive the crap project. this is difficult to be done.

If they want to receive attention from investors, their project must have a good product and a clear idea. How do investors get interested in bullshit projects, with no products and ideas that are too difficult to execute?

I do not remember any high quality project that was cancelled due to lack of funding but i do want Telegram Open Network TON to revive and continue development as it was the most anticipated and quality project for blockchain enthusiasts. It was stopped due to the interference of SEC.

I think it is easier to get some interest if you try to do it again with bigger marketing and new buzzwords. Something that wanted to ICO 5 months ago and couldn't get the interest and funding could instead scrap everything about it, and restart today with adding "defi" word into it and spending some more money on the marketing with articles on all big places with paid writing and ads on there plus doing a lot bigger giveaways of their project and having bounties as well.

When you do that it gets instant attention, it is easier to pick up funds that way because now you are talking what people want to hear, not what you want to tell which is how marketing is done, you can switch your project to what people want to hear later but first you lie about it. It is unethical and immoral but we all know there are people who are unethical and immoral as well.

Some projects which raised sufficient funds during ICO back in 2017/2018 either mismanaged their funds or had selfish interest. Most of those crypto projects were created just for making money, with zero interest in product development, so how will you know the few genuine projects which should be revived, probably by the proposed comeback via raising funds with IEO?. I think the projects to be supported wrt funding are those which even with the little funds they raised via ICO still continued with product development. One of them is Internxt, they already developed a cloud storage working product but I doubt if they have enough funds to list their token on big exchanges. This is just an instance.

Some good projects has been paused due their raised ETH value was falling in bear market.
But i think most paused projects unable to revive the project again, because they might have sold their raised ETH or other coins with low price at the  time of bear market.

Maybe we can keep it that way but not the case for every proejct out there. I know that some of them are full of lies and just making false hope for investors. I know the fact that they can easily scam the money and gone. Projects being revive and making their concept as defi are what we can called opportunist. Trying to ride with the hype of the market and earn funds.

Some projects got closed due to incapability of the team and some teams are so stubborn that they won't listen to advice.

1. You use p2pb2b exchange for raising fund, what do you expect ?
2. You put the community not in the first place
3. You lied about your professions
4. You gathered the wrong team

These can easily ruin the life of any new and old crypto project

Agree, projects have had a pause and limited update information with investors, they have no chance to come back in one way or another because their community was undoubtedly frustrated with what the project was demonstrating, running away during sensitive times, a lot of information about phishing was released at that time, back just to let investors refuse again, no resurgence here when confidence has been eliminated

It is not a bad idea but such projects should come up with confidence building measures first like some development and for that they should find private investors or fund the project themselves at the start or revival and only do it if they truly believe in the idea and practicality of the project. I know many projects had delayed or cancelled thier fund raising campaigns due to long bear market so now they definitely have a chance to relaunch.

Do research which projects actively developed solutions in the time of the crypto bear market and invest in these cryptocurrencies, sooner or later you will enjoy the profit. Because crypto projects that worked hard no matter the times will always succeed.  :)

I think projects that have failed in the past, they will never come back to update them, because some of these projects always rely on money from investors, not their personal money, therefore without investors participating in the project will never be able to continue, so to That is, they have to make new projects to ensure to all investors that what they make is really good in the future.

I would really like to promote Electroneum even though it has been branded as Shitcoin but I can still see the fact that some of their developers are willing to continue the project and that is a really great way to invite more people to use them. Electroneum is now being used in some countries on where they can pay for their stuff locally. They also changed lots of stuff in their mobile application in which you can now do referral programs to gain more ETN.

In my opinion there is no point in reviving a project, no matter what are the conditions it failed. Why? Because if it failed once because team left, developers left (because no one is working for free) why makes me think it won't fail again, if a bear will come after they make the new IEO ITO?

I better put my money in a new coin, rather than a failed-revived project.

Not a member of any team, but would like to tell my sincere opinion on the topic.
I think that industry is overcrowded and that what makes it go forward so rapidly.
However, I don't see that industry somehow is in the need of projects that were leftovers couple years ago.
I mean its all up to the team that abandoned their project - if they have the will, power, energy, time and resources to try again - do it, that is great.
But I don't see community being an engine of that process, because there are already so many projects that you barely can keep the track of them, I'm not even saying about engaging in each one of them.

that means they can't develop a proper product because when they know there was a possibility for the price of ethereum to be falled and they must use their funds wisely. it looks like they were money grabber project only and no more.

Since the crypto market has started to get better again after 2018, I agree with your advice.
I also think that in 2018, due to the subsequent market situation, I was disappointed that the projects could not be implemented Teams should bring the projects in a revised form through IEO or ICO as needed in new ventures. I think this will make the crypto market more prosperous.

and this is the law of the market. it happens all the time and you must always be ready for it. diversify your money and it will be your salvation

I fully respect everyone's opinion here and i have seen that most people are opposing the idea but please consider i suggested this purely out of good intention.
It was basically an after thought as i was discussing this topic with a friend and he told me that innovation and market growth slowed down massively if we can say died due to long bear market.
Most of the people will agree that there were hardly any good new ico project in all the bear market.
And also please note that im not talking about all the failed or projects who were not able to raise enough funds, i was also talking about projects that got discouraged and paused or delayed or cancelled their projects.
As with everything in life, there is always a second chance, a second opportunity a new hope that is why i suggested this just to encourage quality projects and competent developers to come up with their projects now.
More projects mean more innovation, more solutions and more adoption. This way crypto market in general will grow massively as well.

I would suggest IEO if the team members are still serious with the abandoned projects.  But the issue is that, most of the abandoned projects were not like that because of financial issue alone, most of them do not really have tangible things to offer initially. They want to gather some dollars from the investors and run away.  That's why they don't bother seeking for alternative ways of funding such projects when it crashed.  I believe those few genuine ones with true financial problem can come back and still get some support.

scammers dont have the face to comeback again and why will they do that when people are going to accuse them  but they say theres always a second chance , what if they will comeback for a change ? how will we know that if we will not try  . if they gather huge funds , they can then pay the previous investors that they have been scammed  .  for those that arent scammers , they arent scammers they are always welcome to comeback and people are going to accept and forgive them warmly .
