How to identify high-quality projects in the primary market?
1. The team background of the project,.whether the founding team members have other technical or operational backgrounds related to the blockchain icon project. You can learn about it through official white papers, official websites, communities, and other channels.
2. The investment institution of the project is extremely important. A good project seed will attract the participation of well-known institutions in the circle.
3. The technological innovation of the project, or a simple analogy of similar application projects.

Wrong. There is nothing you can do to define "high-quality projects in the primary market". Everything posted above can be, and very often is, faked.

My post from 2018. Its even worse now with finding gems at early stage.

its not 1600 coins now. its 8800 now according to coingecko.

I hardly advise against this kind of gambling. You have bigger chances at the casino. In casiono its like 49:51 (win loss) here it is 1:9999 and reward is not worth the risk.

I think most projects  are scams and i agree with you that op strategy is not good.

However,  it is possible to find potentially good projects.

For example, DOT was created by Gabin Wood. He won't mastering ethereum with antonopoulos and he is also erhereum co founder. Any project that he is involved is worth looking into (if you are trying to find a good project)

You can also try to read on already established projects (like top 50) and look for the best ideas and opportunities...

Ofc you may lose money , but it is possible to find something good and make money.

That being said, I am nearly all in btc (in my crypto portfolio)and I think this is most profitable strategy in long term

The best advice is always invest the little money you can afford to lose most especially if the project is a new altcoin, good promising looking projects can still turn scam as well, I don't trust influencers because no one hates money they get paid too so invest only what you can afford to lose

It sounds idealistic when we say that, but in fact no one can guarantee that the project will really be good, White papers can be deceiving because there are cricketers, recognizing the team is not enough because it still won't find openness, look at the statistics on display Of course it can be manipulated for the benefit of the project.

The team members also if possible have identification and they have some way to be reached out to like emails or a LinkedIn profile, most anonymous projects ends up being a rug pull that dupes investors. In terms of investment, they shouldn't ask too big for their investors in my opinion because if it's a legitimate project, they can start small and slowly build up while the funding also goes up.

So far what I've learned, it's very difficult to find a really quality project. but there is 1 thing I think about, is where the project is advertised. because the place to market the product is very important, not only on bitcointalk but more on crypto related websites such as ico rating or coinmarketcap and others. the reason is if a developer dares to put an ad on the site is that they really want to make a big project and have the capital to start a project.

Yes, team is very important, but this is not always that apparent. Sometimes someone completely unknown with no known background can turn out to be a genius, as well as someone well known can come up with a crappy idea. But generally, yes, if previous projects of the team were successful, these people most likely know what they’re doing.

Good institutional investment, indeed, can attract other investors as well. However, this does not guarantee that the project is good and will succeed. Investors often don’t know the tech behind the project, they mostly care about how much money it can bring to them. Blinded by greed, sometimes they fall for stupid projects or fraud.

Mostly, the perspectives of everybody on newly launched projects was scam and not trusted platforms. This happened due to lots of accusations that caused a lot of confusions towards every person. We can't prevent that mindset to come out, because as an investor who look for desired project to entrust their money just to earn promising passive income, transparent business approach is a requirement. In order to correct all those negativities, they should also act accordingly.

It would be nigh impossible to detect a gem worth keeping with these criteria that you’ve posted. Most devs with no intention of pushing the project into an even better version of itself can fake most of these things very easily. Technological innovation is something that seems highly important but in reality, devs just use tech mumbo jumbo and add it on the project without having a single practical use. There are lots of those in the market, and you don’t even have to look in order to see a project that takes this route.

1. You can literally write bullshits and no one will know. Don't just depend on the official white papers or the team. If never know if the team behind is fake or not unless they make themselves public.

2.Bitcoin or other well known altcoins few years ago didn't  have huge institutional investment. This doesn't mean those coins were bad.

3. Not sure what you meant by this. You mean have a use case that isn't already present? Then yeah, this is one of the most important factor over here!

It is hard to estimate a good project, in an anonymous world you can't estimate everything perfectly, But some common criteria can help you to grow your notion.

You have to know the technical specifications behind the project,
For example, you can take Arweave($AR) which is a successful project that has grown up in our forum. Now do technical analysis with Arweave, they used a blockchain protocol-like filesharing & data storage, which is a cost-effective and unique project to store data permanently to the blockchain. another example is $ETH, it also has a solid technical specification.
you have to know the consensus algorithm of the project, for on-chain data storage services, the amount of hashing needed for consensus has to be lower, to make the service cost-effective.

Specific technical speculations have to be needed for a specific project, so you have to do technical analyses first before investing in any project.

2nd you have to know the team behind the project,
you have to do an analysis of the team, by doing this you will get to know the upcoming project's vision and their ability to grow up the project, their previous experience. It will also help to find out the scammer, cause scammer can make a fake portfolio with fack people, if you do proper team-analyses then you will be able to stay away from the scammer.

Don't relay only 3/4 points, with these, you have to stay away from the hype, you have to stay tuned with updated news, you have to be aware and technical otherwise there is a possibility of getting scammed by the shit project.

All projects you found in the market seem to be high-quality projects, but not all of them can be the next good project as time will tell which project can survive and give their best to their investors and people. There is nothing you can do to find that project instead of searching for more information, but even if you can get as much info as you can, that will not guarantee you to get the right project.

But select the existing project such as bitcoin or other coins that already launch their project to the market and have a history. You can see what they have already achieved so far on their website to analyze more and decide if that is the right project for you. I do not suggest you invest in the new project because we do not know their future. But if you want to invest with them, I can only suggest you be careful and only use the money you can afford.

there are many of them that we thought to be a high-quality project, most of them failed. the one that you could consider is ETH. there are still doubters of the platform up to this day despite its achievement. the one thing that is good to do for the projects today is just buying them up when there is a bullrun and then dump it all when the bear returns.

Fristly, if the project is a "high quality" project, they will not come to a niche section of the world like cryptocurrency to be funded. They would rather go in the fiat market and into private funding from VCs and probably be followed up with a public offering. This basic conception is lacking in the minds of the newbie crypto users - that is why this question pops up.

You are no position to identify top projects by just looking at them. VCs can do that because they have been on both sides of the table and they probably have been doing this for ages already. Moreover, there are under the table deals with VCs and advisors in order to make sure that they secure their profits before the projects is made public.

Just remember that if a project is trying to replicate a model that has been very successful in the fiat markets and this one is trying to compete with that using a crypto funding, the project will and surely will fail. Because this competition is impossible to overcome and time has taught us investors that.

I would like to add that if the project has been going on for about 2 or 3 years without being famous, there's a big possibility that the developers of that project are dedicated to making their project rise into stardom and be used by many users. Watch out for projects that capitalize on the fame of another older project that has the same formula, their likely to be a rug pull.

Could agree with this one and I don't know if @Assface16678 knows about it but that's like the journey that Axie Infinity has, they've been on the scene for about 2 years if I am right and now they're the talk of the crypto town. There's a lot of projects too that launched alongside the rise of Axie Infinity to as @Assface166788 said, "capitalize" with the fame to be a quick cash grab or better yet a competition.

Your main criteria should be looking at the team: They have to be ugly, they are more motivated to be rich that way. Also, check if they are still living with their mothers, that is usually a sign that they do not have any ability whatsoever that the market is willing to pay for. Also, there has to be at least one girl, since several studies show that teams with at least one female tend to rise more capital and do it quicker. Lastly, would you put 100k on them? If not, why put 10?

This use to be a good point or still a good point. A good project really should attract partnership far and near. For example binance indicating interest in a project is likely the project has a good value. Although I have relied on this kind of point to invest in a project in the past but it later happened that the project wasn't successful and the partnership hype on the media wasn't totally sealed yet but the team used the advantage of discussion of the partnership to sell coins and ran away from discussion and causing investors huge loss. We still have to be careful with partnership until agreement is confirmed from the other party.

If there are prominent figures who are confirmed to be involved deeply in the project (not simply as advisors because this can be bought), such as Gavin Wood being the CEO of Polkadot and also the co-founder of Ethereum, the project is probably a big deal and deserves attention. If a big institution that is already in the crypto business is involved (for instance, a big exchange launching their own coin), it's also promising. Other than that, it's really hard to assess a project because it's fairly simple to write a good whitepaper, pay good web designers for a solid-looking website, pay for a few promos by YouTubers and the media outlets to publish a couple of articles, and thousands of subscribers in social media are very easy to acquire with almost zero investment by launching an airdrop and a bounty campaign.

Doing all this things pointed out by the op is relevant but it is not a guarantee to choosing a high quality project, what I can say is luck plays a very important role as well, sometimes it is not just about what was written in whitepaper or the partnership with other organisations that determines,  but determination and commitment are also important, there that didnt appear to be high quality in the beginning will later manage to surprise everyone.

The team is always at the forefront of getting to know how good a project that you are investing your money in really is. Yes, the team goes a long way in letting you know a lot of things. After you have gone through the team and getting to know about them, you must have seen some points or reasons that are going to let you continue or leave it.

Imagine that one of the team members of a project is among Apple’s top engineers, or have worked with one of the biggest platform we have here, you are sure going to want to invest in it.

I think team could be like a second or even third thing when I am looking into a project. First of all whitepaper is the most important thing, even before the whole whitepaper (which is a lot shorter these days) to know the numbers is actually quite good, like thing about the total supply, the current mined, how many holders, and many other things about it is definitely the first thing I look at, look at shiba for example, would never buy something like that just based on the numbers itself.

Secondly I look at the code itself, if it is a solid code that is important, road map and the current code could be the second most important thing because I need to know what their future plans are and I need to know they have the talent to actually do it, if they have some bugs on their website even that is bad let alone any problem on their crypto code. So long story short team would be third or even four for me when I look at those things.

Identifying high quality projects are really difficult, Whitepaper, followers and etc. can be untrue and misleading. So what you stated is the only possible way to be safe. Afford what you can lose. And always think rational and don't invest depending on what the influencers are saying.

As I've said in the past about choosing the right project in cryptocurrency, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are tens of thousands of bad projects with only a handful of good ones. So if you are to get into crypto with the least risk, you better go right straight to the number 1 and that's Bitcoin.

And although you may be right in your steps in identifying a high-quality crypto project, how many of us actually scrutinize whitepapers, websites, technical backgrounds of team members, project technical innovations, and so forth?

The background of the team is of course important, because private equity has advantages in the primary market and has large profit margins, but also large risks. From the team background and team members can understand the strength of the relevant technology. The participation of some well-known institutions is also very important. Good seed projects will naturally attract their participation through private equity.
Of course, what I'm talking about are just some identification methods, not absolute.

There are too many scams. If I have to find a way, my choice may be to look at the rankings, choose the top 10 or follow the gray investment direction and make a fixed investment.

The problem with scrutinizing papers or other documents, is that you can't really tell if they will indeed implement their objectives.
How many projects have we seen to have a very well-written and comprehensive whitepaper but ended up a failure?
Team members with very good educational and industry background, and yet, they ended up abandoning the platform.
In my opinion, one way to identify quality projects is if the platform is successful in attracting active users.
Not only at the beginning of the launch (because some are being obliged to register if part of the campaign or there is airdrop), but also after years of its existence in the market.
That means, we can't identify a high-quality project at the beginning just by the docs they presented, but should be years of their operations in the market.

The approach needs to be different with different projects, at the end of the day we have to understand the fact that people can manipulate the market, they can manipulate the way they present it to other people. At the end of the day these cryptos projects are high risk investments and they can actually end up abandoning your all hopes and dreams of becoming rich.
I do think that choosing the right project is honestly a tough decision to make since you have to be very alert with every news or any steps that you might take, getting involved means sharing your personal information and your money ofc.
You should rather see how the projects are working on bitcointalk forum and then you might have much better options here.

if they have failed then they arent really a high quality project but theres something wrong on how we analyzed and on how we grade a project .
 for the eth indeed there are people that have doubts with this coin but to some the age and the achievements of eth can be enough for them to trust the coin .

there are so many projects popping today but we need to choose the one that we think is worth it and i think investing when theres a bear is better than to invest at the bull .

All this time I thought that social media with many members was a high quality project, but in fact I've been tricked several times by scam projects with more than 100k twitter followers and 75k group telegrams, of course it's very difficult and I will continue to follow the discussion here .

If you ask me I would say there is no way to know if the project is really high-quality or not. They will release shiny and very nice whitepapers and on the project's road map, they usually give promises to provide the best services and good projects. But, time after time, you will understand they can not do what they said to do. So, whitepaper and roadmap can not be a good reason. In my own idea, the team behind the project is the most important thing. If you really know who they are and trust them and their experience, you can consider them providing a good and high-quality project.

So hard to determine if the project is good or not since every project is capable to turn scam even if they look so good and their devs team are showing their faces. Maybe we may now to lessen the risk but some how this is less effective and that is by reading their whitepaper and see their roadmal since from that we can get a litfle idea about them and how things will go in future.

Mostly, it's because of the actual application on it and why would some funding sites invest and market it. I think the most probable factor that it's going to boom is its partners and backing with partnerships that promote their project. That's how I would know that it's a great project. I think the new projects right now have to stake, and they are aiming to have it locked and vested at a later date.

With this, I think it's better to determine scam projects instead of identifying high-quality ones. It just comes second IMO.

There are so many things that you have to check, so many things, like the team the community the roadmap the whitepaper and many other things that you have to check. However none of that really matters because on the very early stages of projects, it usually means that we should probably be investing or not invest knowing that 99% of the time it is going to suck big time.

There are so few coins that actually end up being good and that means that we should not be investing with the hopes of making it big, that happens very rarely and that is why having a high hope means we will be upset because of what happened. This of course is not a guarantee, sometimes (very rarely) something goes up, but even the ones that have everything great could end up not being that great at all in the end, which is why we should not be hoping for it to profit us, just throw the dice and hope for the best.

I saw a comment saying that all these things don’t work when you’re looking for a high quality project. Take for example, the comment said that teams can be faked. Sure it’s true that team can be faked in a case like this, but I think it’s very much possible to identify whether a project team is truly the identities that are being used or fake.

First of all you have to make sure that the team have a social media account and you have to go through their social media account such LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, and then it’s up to you to know whether the account is fake or not. If the account looks like it was created newly, then it’s a red flag. And if it happens to be a legit account, then you have to check the account and know whether the person has posted anything that’s related to the project, or you can ask them, and if not, then stay away from the project.

Many investing traits actually parallel with investing in stocks - you've identified some of them. The two most important ones to me are having unique selling points (e.g. functionality that is done in the most efficient way offering something like the cheapest transaction fees around or the fastest authentication that cannot be reversed) and also having a noticeable "moat" compared to other cryptocurrencies out there (this one is much harder to replicate and maybe only Bitcoin has such an advantage because it has such far reaching media exposure that has no equal at present). As always, you need to keep an eye on your investments over time for things that could sink them and possibly cash out in stages if you think it becomes overvalued.

Anybody investing will definitely look into the factors you have raised but with that, some projects may look promising and then become trash in later months. Just do your thorough research well after being directed or introduced to a project.

Most people checks first the background of the project of course not just the name that is catchy to the eye. First of is the developer team behind the project which will of course give the first impression on what to expect about the project. Next is the project itself on which you must read the whitepaper that includes the road map and the overall plan of the project as well as what it is really all about. A quality project must be unique or at least have an edge on the other existing ones meaning innovative in nature that is not impossible to be achievable or realistic to be attainable.

Now the identity of the person behind the project is so important since if they are transparent and willing to show their identities then this could give trust to the investors and next those what you mention since its si important to know where the project going.

And lastly invest only what you can afford to lose as well if you are in profit secure then wait for another opportunity to buy again since since if there's a pump there's a dump that's why I include this and investors should remember our suggestion given.

There is virtually nothing that you can do.

It's the same idea as trying to "pick winners" in the stock market - what you are doing in essence is futile, a waste of time, and you'll probably end up having to cough up more in fees than your profits.

Also consider this - offerings are generally made when the project is most "hot" or when the entire atmosphere/sentiment in the market is at a high. Do you really think you'd be able to pick the few survivors out of thousands of uncompetitive duds? I think not.

Yes it is not possible to detect all of that one by one. seems like right know its not about  people looking for a good project. but a project that must be able to reach potential customers. with big promotions can be a plus point. but this can also hinder for good projects without big capital to exist in market.

The number of altcoins won't stop at 8800, we know that well.  But I disagree about altcoins being a high stakes game, such as 1:50 best.  Lol, anything can turn out to be an opportunity even if the odds are very low.  Whatever it is, get rid of the word-only ICO projects, at least it's an action and beta/demo/testnet ready.  I always doubt these factors when I want to invest.  Also do not invest a lot of money in new projects.

In my opinion, it is better to look for platforms with working product or app that are actually serving existing users. The team can publish all their credentials but in the end, most of them can't implement the mission they want for the project. If the app has useful application in the day to day life of a regular user, that may have the chance to survive rather than application for selected customers.

The problem is that you dont reach high audience by developing good, promising project. Thats separate thing. Good project =/ high audience. That separate thing. You ... as a CEO you need to take care of project development and community growth separately to be able to grow as fast as possible with as much funds as possible. Idena is a great example. Project that should be evaluated 100x higher but ... never ever focused on investors. Always focus about tech. My 2 year old investment stll with 0% profit. Devs keep on delivering but no one cares. No one is interested. Mostly because no one paid x$ to influencers, no one paid x$ for big exchange listing.

If every advice we see in every thread of Bitcointalk actually work, everyone would have been rich and no one here would want to ever promote any project.
Anyways, your points are good and they are perquisites to investing in a project you want to put your finances, so it's primarily the first things to consider.
However, you may do the list but the success isn't guaranteed, Cryptocurrency is investing should be done with due diligence and no project is good until its actually profitable after investing in them.

In my opinion, any project today is almost a scam project, accounting for the majority of good projects, only about 1% of the market today, if 100 projects are released every month, there are only about 1 or 2 projects. The real growth is left when they spend some money to attract buyers as well as a small amount for liquidity and then they disappear forever with investors embracing junk coins, it's really hard to judge a high quality project all like a gamble , you red you win you black you lose everything.

Normally what you listed would have been a good standing ground to identify high quality projects but the developers of most new scam projects nowadays are smarter than you think. The only reason I invest a good amount of money in a project is when it is being listed or the launch is been done in a reputable exchange.

Definitely these 3 criteria will not be enough but even if you set lots of conditions and then meeting them also will not guarantee to get you assured profits. Because, when it comes about crypto projects, investing is all about depending one one or more devs hence their actual intention toward that project alone will decide about the final outcome of a project.

I am not trying to say that setting criteria is meaningless but what I am trying to contribute here is, even if you happen to find an all good project, do not invest more than 5% of your total portfolio. Always treat all he projects with all cautions. This way, even if you invest in a scammy project, you will not lose much and your losses might get covered by other projects' profits.

Your description of Knowing and identifying high quality  projects is adjustable and more work input need to be done before one can determine a genuine project without becoming crumbled at the early or media stage. In this recent time that scammers and money hungers are all over the crypto market looking for money by doing numerous things to scam investors of there valuable funds just to accumulate funds which can be used to further more scam projects exposing more investors with vast victims.

If the project still not realized, i prefer to look project that seems logicly to happen. Because sometimes only idea that they offer and then after ICO ends, their product which described in their whitepaper not really created and then they leave the project after get money from investor because their job to listed their coin in market already done. Or maybe just playing safe to pick big coins in market.

I think one of the major issues is that it is often too easy to hide for scammers. I like it when they give live AMAs, speak at conferences and obviously have a serious team shown with profile pics. You can often tell from the (missing) profile pics alone when that is a scam or not. They use so bad google pic copies of some people that it should be embarrassing for anyone to put money into these scams. Big conventions and conferences is a good sign that the team is at least serious about building something. Whether they succeed or not in the end... The statistics show that usually they fail.

No I won't agree totally that every project is scam because I have benefited from some that are cool, maybe few are though. Joining a good project is luck and that is it. You can also study the people around the project, exchange taking up the project. Overall you need some real research to invest and not just investing because others are done so.

It is not that what you are stating is wrong it is just that it can be so easily faked by the scammers we have in this market that it makes no difference at all, all of those that are investing in new coins thinking they are going to be part of the next ethereum o something similar will lose their money the majority of the time, this may seem to be too pessimistic but your chances of earning money this way are very low, we have thousands of coins in the market and technically we have more it is just that those coins never launch at all so you are taking a massive risk over something you have no idea if it is going to be successful or not, and when it comes to investing this is a major mistake.

For people who only think about profit then there are only a few aspects to consider.  1. what is the project concept, 2. who is the investor 3. must follow the trend. 
We know that no matter how good a project is, if the theme used is not trending, then the project will take a very long time to famous and succeed.  we learn from experience how there used to be a trend every time.  For example, DeFi, Meme, NFT themes, and now the trend is Game themed.  For that, if there is a new trend we must be prepared to anticipate it

Number 1 is a bit tricky since most developers would acquire pseudonyms and would remain anonymous yet would still be able to deliver promise projects and roadmap plans. For me what really makes or breaks a project is the model, some projects happen to exist under a promising premise but die off when they find out what they're trying to do is nigh impossible. That's basically most of the projects that happen in crypto-scene who die off eventually fall under. When you invest in a project, very rarely do you look for specific business models to support and what happens most of the time is you check the currencies, see why it's pumping, check the business model, and from there, decide whether you'd invest in it or not. I can vouch for this that this is what's going on for the most of us. Have no mistake, there's nothing wrong for yearning profits in a profitable space like crypto.

The best case scenario is to stick to the kings and queens first then start trusting any pawns outside the castle. Im putting the sentence that way because we hardly find any good projects these days. All of them will create a good amount of market at the start of their journey and will loose the value later in the time or until new projects are come up. For example, Defi's and NFT's are crazy hot right now. Before them swap was going all the way up and different swap projects started coming up but they lost the value or at least publicity because somebody bought a painting for millions of dollars using NFT. Then started the era of NFT and then DeFi and what not.

My experience says, you just go with BTC and ETH man. Rest of the coins you can have in small risk free amounts and start trading around them to gain some profits. Obviously that's why you looking for the good projects so there you go, trade them!

It has really become difficult to indentify scam projects as most of them have now develop good user interface sites and lucrative rewards and support team and will show you past history of projects but in reality they all are fake and most of them comes to know about it when you have been victim of the scam and lost funds to it.So it's better to have full investigation on your behalf and try not to fall trap into such projects.Market is now messed up with many DeFi and NFT projects coming up in the hype but you can't say which will succeed in long term or not? So it is on you how you make analysis of the projects for safeguarding your funds in best way.

Identifying legit or real projects are very hard to do since most of the projects are scam. You would say that 99% of thise projects are scam and only 1% are legit. Sadly, some of those project are not scam but failed to survive that long.

This is right, teams should have faces because in an anonymous space, you don't want to trust your money on people that doesn't have any faces, you won't be getting anything out of them especially if they started running away from the project. I have seen this kind of projects and they almost always end up in a scam.

It's just a part of it in my opinion, being advertised doesn't mean it's a quality project. Remember thatscam projects can be advertised too so you better understand and evaluate what you're saying because it might lead you to the wrong path.

I checked out one project with six team members and not a single linkedin link on the profile pictures worked. I reached out to them and asked what's wrong, so they added two functioning links and removed some of the links of the other profiles. Then I asked whether i could speak in the telegram group to the CTO, just a single question. Or whether they could do an AMA on Youtube. That is like 6 weeks ago and they haven't done it, yet of course claim to be the next big thing. But that happens all the time with projects, on a very frequent basis.

I don't know if you can talk with high ranking guys in the project if you don't have anything good to offer to their project since mostly the one who talk for them is there community managers but you can seek the answers with your questions to their live AMA sessions so even if they are there showing there real faces still we need to be careful since scammers are now upgrading to gather more money by showing their identities to gather trust to the community they created. So for thinking about investing on this better invest only what you can afford to lose since that is the golden rule in investing.

Yeah, and there is no single website or platform where you can view all the projects either. Some really good ones are strangled because they don't have the money to get those paid listings and continue the development without any support from the community. Then there are meme coins who offer nothing but have the budget to spend millions on marketing and get their token on all these listing and review portals.

It's near impossible to identify which projects are good. Then it's even harder to analyse which ones among these good ones are serious about their idea. If even you pass the two stages, it's impossible to guess which project will despite having a dedicated team and solid idea will be able to draw enough attention from the investors.

The future is unpredictable, I've followed and invested in projects that looked very good but I got scammed, crypto competition and projects are very tight, so we have to be selective so we don't get scammed.

Research is essential for us to be successful with a particular project, but there is a specific point that must be highlighted, which is to know what is the trend towards where the money is moving, for example, at the moment what Most of the investments are being directed towards NFT games, it is not necessary to emphasize that Axie is the example of this, now many games that are under the jurisdiction of AXIE are making a difference with better participation options, that is, you can enter the I play for free and make the money necessary to become premium, and this capitalizes much more, because not only does it encompass the blockchain-based business model, but it encompasses another community as large as that of gamers, so in the gamer world it is it handles a lot of money, and if you combine it with blockchain technology it is a financial explosion, I think that aside from project research, you should look for the trend by which everything is heading.

And once you make that realization then there is not reason to try to find those coins, after all one of the big problems with this is that our money is not really infinite, so the chances we have of finding a project like that are very low, not only because the majority of the projects are scams but also because scammers are experts at creating projects that on the outside look like legitimate offers but they have no plans of actually creating anything and will disappear with your money as soon as they have the chance.

yes it is true, it is indeed one of the many ways to learn a project, what I think by advertising on popular sites is that those who want to start a project have capital. not only want to create a fake project without using capital. maybe it's one of the easiest ways to tag, but there are also a lot of bad projects that appear in ads on popular sites.

It is not easy to find Projects that have good potential, We need a lot of time to find and research many existing projects, need to re-examine every project that seems potential.
When we find a new project with real potential and want to invest, it takes special access - such as a whitelist or lottery winner - to join the token sale. This is really funny, but it's the truth.


The 3 things you said are important things to pay attention to in a project, Usually I also pay attention to strategic partnerships. And the most important thing is that we need to make sure that the information they display is true, not fabricated.

I do believe that just because one project has a lot of marketing doesn't mean that it will definitely end up being a good project, but I also believe that a good project without marketing will not grow big neither, even if you end up hearing about it, if others do not hear about it then it doesn't matter. Which is why I believe that marketing is a must, bad or good it has to have big marketing and that is when we can start to look at it differently.

I have seen so many non-scam projects that ended up being absolutely a disaster just because they couldn't do marketing properly. I was even part of a project that should have been basically a top 50 coin and right now it is not even in the top 3000 just because they lack funds and they couldn't do any marketing at all, they are good people building a great thing and nobody knows about it at all.

If you want to succeed, stay away from rubbish project, they wouldn't just kill your portfolio, they will damage your experience beyond repair and may not be happy (certainly, no happiness in the end) and you even likely tag crypto as ponzi scheme.
It may not be the case most of the time but investing in coin that are top 10 on the market are best way to free your self from team embarrassment and incompetency.

Exactly there are obvious projects nor investment sites which is not good to invest and its easy to identify them since they are offering a to good to be true offers which is un imaginable profit in short period of time that's why we really need to avoid this and seek for better information about the those other type of good investments. Gladly we have this forum where we can ask fellow member to point out and ask some feedbacks towards the project we are looking for.

in recent years many projects have innovated with new things but most failed because expectations were too high
a good project will be open to supply to the team and others, that way there is nothing to cover up

Yes, I agree with this. Lots of projects that really want to grow fall apart, but projects that are not serious can actually grow and grow faster. maybe because crypto is anonymous so it's hard for us to see if it's a real project or not. but I look more into marketing in terms of a project. even a few years ago, projects that only shared airdrops could grow even though they would eventually disappear slowly.

Well marketing is somehow executed by devs for short term period they only want to have an exposure to the community here so don't make it as a basis since any devs could pay some amount just to advertise their project. Maybe try to look at the developments and if they flow what is written in whitepaper since if they follow what they promise and contuously update the community about their project status with proof then we can say that we are in good one.

Even if the above mentioned ways to identify good projects were met, still some of them are scams. One of the best thing to find these gems is to have an internal research of project. It includes the track record of the team, their present achievements, marketing and developments that they are promising. You also have to look if the roadmap were properly achieved within its time frame and the tokenomics. Other than that, even if all of the mentioned were met, volatility still occurs. Prices may differ from expectation.

- Internal is a huge secret of projects, especially members' information, it is really a professional fake market and wait until the real versions confirm that project, we are already fish lying on the cutting board and just waiting to be dissected and fried, the projects also regularly add key members continuously as well as partners, we also think they are serious but it is also a technique of professional actors. Needing more important project documents is also a detail that many fake projects can handle, innate gem only for nobles and adventurers

While it is good advice many people are simply never going to follow that advice because when they see the top coins in the market and they see the price they need to pay now and the price they needed to pay a few years ago they think they are making a mistake if they buy now, so they prefer to buy cheap coins thinking they are investing in the next ethereum, but we know that this is very unlikely and by the time they realize the mistake they made there is simply nothing to do except to accept their losses.

That's unfortunate. It's easier to create crypto projects now than when ICOs are thriving; I see big whales teaming up for a project, but planning to go for a safe exit once the project reached its expected success. On the brighter side, most users considering weaker projects for short-term investing, projects with longevity potential are easier to identify once you see their operation. Basing on the original thread is a good starting ground to identify them.

Seriously?  Team members and their faces are sold for just a few hundred dollars. While investment institution is highly risky because what if it's just a pump and dump party which sells the investment immediately after it gets listed. Which means your token will be more or less abandoned in front of manmonth supply in the market. Yes technological innovation is one thing that could be considered as highly important in any project but more than the utility which it serves with that technological innovation is the primary thing to see in any project.

Good to bring that here, as it seems so easy to determine by using this information but in reality this can just as easily been faked out even if you read all those details inside the project white paper there's no guarantee that those members are for real.

The good addition of the project to the entire market has a better impact when choosing your asset, not just another copy or another upgrade version of the existing project, but something that usable in their chosen fields.

With so many scammers who have deeper knowledge inside this business, setting your standards to much higher ground saves you up being victimized by those people who love running with investors' money.

The truth is that any method that we could try to diminish the chances of being scammed it is something that scammers have been working hard to disguise, at this point in time it is very difficult to distinguish a good project from a bad one and when that happens you do not want to invest in any of those projects as the risk that you are taking is simply too high, better to invest in bitcoin than in an unknown project which can disappear overnight and steal all the funds they gathered.

One of the things i do consider out specially if a project is still on funding state then i do always look up if funds were locked before it would be release or can be used by the devs or owners on which
you can really say that there would be no possible rug pull that would happen in next days or months to come. Finding or identifying high quality projects is something that you cant do
without having sufficient knowledge and experience here on this market.We do have our own criterias and considerations thats why decisions will really vary differently.

More people become greedy as it was easy for them to create worthless projects, that is the truth here. That is very important why we should be more resourceful when it comes to investing and we have to carefully analyze the project, that certainly takes time and we need to do it due to a huge number of scam projects exists, the more we spend time doing this.
That is definitely hard to find High_Quality projects because some it looks promising but in the end, just like you've said, they'll do an exit scam.

There is no answer to this question, just like the same thing, the answer is colorful. It is also planned to say that there is no answer to the author’s question, but one thing is certain. Success is true. If the project fails, it is a scam from the beginning. Or to explain this problem from another angle, that is, if there are more people who believe, he is the real one, and the believer leaves, this project is a scam.

I think even after having sufficient knowledge it's a difficult task, because thinking of a great idea isn't the most difficult thing but executing is the most heft task which only a handful of projects are able to successfully do, which is what makes crypto investing using primary market really difficult. Also the biggest risk you have here is a project not getting listed or getting dumped immediately after listing, I think even if you like a project too much, a wise decision is to wait for it to get listed and then invest in it using the secondary market even if you have to pay a certain premium because this will give you a short of insurance against non-listing risk.

I've been on a lot of projects but I can't be sure if what you're listing is totally worthy of a big project or a quality project, because you're entering this market. . Now that's possible, it's risky and it's like gambling with only a 50% chance of winning and any new project you join could fall prey to them. So the best advice to invest in long-term and quality projects is particularly recognized and popular.

It is good to rely on these characteristics and follow a disciplined DYOR to find a high quality gem.  Some new seeds are regularly fomo by the community so it is easy to make mistakes when choosing.  Also, not many new investors can look at WP and understand it fully.  Some of the major partners are often uploaded with a lot of fakes.  Therefore, homework should be done rigorously with recognizable attention

Perhaps most of us are practicing DYOR from so many scam projects that have been created.
The last projects that I have joined have been few.
Fortunately I have done well. Last year I invested in Avalanche thanks to another project that created a rewards program.

Here is the coin of the Avalanche network, the AVAX listed on Coingecko.
Even the price is low if you want to invest, as always DYOR and good luck.

The project I am referring to is DaoMaker helps startups grow by reducing Capital risk. The team does all the research work for the new Startups and creates alliances with them to promote their launch.

If primary market means big markets, i think it can be considered as good project. Good not means high quality btw. Because usually some exchanges already have requirements for a project to listed in their sites although sometimes still need voting about it. For me, i am not really deep into coin especially new projects, if not old big coins usually i will only do short or mid term investment.

See what the community has to say about the project you're considering. In community, they have profound wisdom in many aspects.
To invest in a project requires looking at the chart, looking at the roadmap, the white paper, the backing and support of the community. It is important for long-term and short-term profit goals that you anticipate market trends and the use case for the project you are working on.
There are a lot of people who got rich buying altcoins during the downtrend from 2018 to 2019. They did it because they have a good long-term vision.

I’m sorry dude but it’s way harder right now to find a high quality project these days because the crypto market has no guarantees due to price volatility. However, one factor that I am taking a look at these days are no other than their strategic partnerships with other well-known projects. However, despite the strong partnerships, always expect the unexpected because this industry has high substantial risks.

i am more on the actual application side of things of the project. honestly, it is quite difficult to identify high-quality projects at the beginning because they don't have anything to prove yet. it will come later, if in case the team will continue to develop their platform into something usable by many, not just by selected few. for me, it is their services or application that can be used by big number of population not only once, but everyday of their lives. with their use case, it can assist in the survival of the project. without it, the platform can easily fail.

How to identify quality project is massive issue for many in crypto market because recently we have too many scam projects which kill millions of dollar and done serious damage to this community peoples investing after taking some early steps and then suddenly feel it's already ended, or it's big mistake, so they lost funds.

In this community if you want to check then surely you need some good search and knowledge about team projects and their fundamentals because if you are able to have all data about this then surely It is going to help you and your funds which could be in good shape for your better future.

Well, when you take part in any project, you never know for 100% either it is good or will scam, and you’ll just waste your time (if you take part in some campaign) and money (if you decided to invest in tokens). When you join some project it’s also essential to check Telegram group and other social networks, to look on the project, its team, white paper etc., examine info about their token on coinmarketcap. That can help in choosing project but does not guarantee the success of the project.

I think to identify high-quality projects in the primary market is to combine several methods, for example is social media, and the best one in my opinion is gruo telegram. If the project is of interest to investors, of course it is easy for us to identify from the chat there, if it is only dominated by a few people, of course this is doubtful.

This is a very tricky metric to rely on.

You see a team will always show a smiley face when visiting a social media because it is PR. Whatever is going on in the internal section is none of the public's business. In fact majority of the newly launched altcoins devs are left unpaid or paid in their own shitcoins which have no value. This runs for a while before the devs stop caring and abandon it.

Now it is very difficult to judge a project by just its team and how they are working. Everything may be good about them but internal takeover happens one fine day and the price crashes to near zero for the next few years.

I judge the project has several indicators

1）Are there any huge projects in the field before this

2）The activity level of the community, the content of the chat

3）Is there a maximum limit for pre-sales

4）The level of detail of the white paper

The way to have a better chance to be able to identify qualified projects is reading the whitepaper of the project very carefully. And the team behind it of course are very important. If we see familiar faces from the successful projects before, this can help us believe in the project more. However, even these things can't be enough sometimes. Because some projects really seem like promising but after some time they turn out to be scam.

It's really hard to find really quality projects. First we must look for team member information such as identification, there are several ways to be contacted such as email . LinkedIn profile ior real telegram, most projects are anonymous and sometimes become an arena of fraud for investors.
second where the project installs . because the place to market the product is very important, if they dare to advertise on crypto-related websites such as ico rating or coinmarketcap and others. because if a developer dares to advertise on the site they really want to make a big project and have the capital to start a project.

Yes, social networks can be an indication, but we must not forget that social networks also manipulate, one of the best ways to determine if it is a good project is by reading the whitepaper, seeing the team that makes it up and under what technology it is used. It will develop, apart from seeing in which network it is generated, many successful projects are under the BNB network, BEP20, not only because it has a low fee, but the fact that it can be integrated into an exchange like Binance gives more security for investors .

You are already looking at not only innovation and what it can offer, but the profits that can be generated over time, the sponsors you have is also another point that should be seen.

So far what I've learned, it's hard to find a really quality project. but one thing comes to mind, that's where the project is advertised. because where to market the product is very important, not only on bitcointalk but also on crypto-related websites. But choose an existing project like bitcoin or other coins that have launched their project and have a history. You can see what they have achieved so far on their website to analyze it further and decide if it is the right project for you. This is my sincere advice for you to be a wise investor.

Really hard to find due to lots of projects in the market as of this moment which means that it would really be a hit or miss but of course it would be good if you do know on how to choose or do make out your research.

Identifying might be hard but when you do have sufficient experience on this market or had actual engagement about project investing then you do have at least the idea.

Its up to your own jurisdiction whether it do passes up on your criteria or not.
