I look at customer service and the entire user experience. Finding an ICO that properly handles purchasers, bounties and airdrops - all with good customer service is rare.

I bought a Trezor and couldn't be happier. You have a lot of options with it and can store many different types of coins. Plus, if you live near a Fry's, I believe they are selling them for $109.

Are any of your campaigns open to Newbie status?

USA based ICO's are not allowed to speculate on the future value of a token. They also are not allowed to talk about being listed on an Exchange.  But, most of these do get listed - AIRDROPS spread more coin which increases the demand and eventually encourages the exchanges to list the token.

While certain methods and coins may die, crypto is far from over - it's just getting started.

I am personally waiting on Proof of Stake to take hold of the industry.

Even if you look at the most successful ICO's, there is always a selloff period once the token reaches the exchange. The price often falls greatly. However, in cases where the project succeeds or shows good signs of progress, there is often a return to a greater price than the ICO final price.

When there is a limited supply, why is the moon limited, don't coins like this just fork if demand is great enough?

How does the bot verify the Airdrop? Does it have an API that validates the data from the application table?

You can probably get away with a WAVES solution if your budget is that low. I don't know how you pay someone for a solidity ERC20 development project on speculation. I would look at something simple to deploy that doesn't leave you at the mercy of the dev.

Do you trust an ICO using Stellar over ERC20 based?

This has become an increasing problem. I found a group that works to fight off these spoofs/clones - they basically DDoS them back!
