While I know that there is no official playbook and tons of information about token sales / ICO's on the Internet... I thought it would be helpful to identify the advisory / consulting firms in this space for those who do need it. The ones I am aware of are the following: - Argon Group
- Cryptoassets
- Tokenmarket
- Tokenhub
- New Alchemy
- Cofound.It
Any others out there? For anyone that has leveraged these firms, we'd love to hear your experience including payment methods (cash, tokens, etc.) |

Aside from the bounty campaigns, this list can be applied for any product / service in all industries.

Everyone is trying to take advantage of the momentum right now. My strategy is the same for all investments whether cryptocurrency, stocks, and startups. First and foremost: - Team
- Traction
- Idea / Concept
TeamFirst and foremost, I invest in people. The questions I ask are: - Are these individuals I can trust and share the same values with?
- What experience does the team have in this space?
TractionTraction enables me to understand someone's passion, hustle, and results over a period of time. The question I ask here is: - What traction has the team achieved over the past quarter, six months, etc?
Idea / Concept
It's never about the idea. It's always about the execution. Hence why this ranks lower than traction. The questions I ask are: - What problem does this solve?
- Is this an idea that I'm passionate about and care offer value to?
- Is the idea / concept aligned with my values?
The answers to all of these questions give me a good sense on whether or not I should invest. While it is still possible to make money from momentum investing, I recommend everyone employing due diligence and ask the same questions above prior to making an investment. |

I'm confused, why ICO need a hostIng or consultIng? those only increase the cost of ICO, and the cost eventually move to users.
I agree that it's not required but wanted to open the discussion to get people's thoughts on this. Especially if someone really recommended it because they had a great experience using one or because it made the process easier. I'm starting to see some of these companies offer token creation services too. |

For those that have or are considering launching an ICO, did you use or are you considering using an ICO hosting (or consulting) company such as the Argon Group, Tokenmarket, Cryptoassets, Tokenhub, etc.?
Are there ones that people recommend in this space? Or do you generally think that they are not useful or needed when offering a token sale? Thoughts and feedback are greatly appreciated.

Where is the all of the above button? An ICO really isnt anything by just being an idea. Nor is it anything by having a whitepaper or roadmap. Even the best team will be complete SOL if they do not have the first 3 mentioned. You literally need most if not all of things mentioned in your list. Otherwise, GL being anything in this market. your good gamed before you even started. not to mention wreak of scam the whole way
Amen! I completely agree with you. But I did want to isolate it down to what people thought was most important to them (and because the poll only allows one selection). |

Out of curiosity, what is the single most important factor you choose when investing in an ICO?
I'd love to hear what influences you the most. Comment if you want to rank the list or note the least most important factor.
Just want to suggest to add up more votes because i cant only choose a single thing when i do tend to choose up an ICO but i did click on the Idea mainly of the project that it would be applied and useful into the community. If i found out a nonsense project i do really skip on that one and search for another and also Transparency on the team is one of the things i do seek too next is whitepaper/roadmap. I agree and wish I could. But unfortunately, the poll doesn't allow it. Otherwise, I would have made enabled multiple selections. |

I only care about its idea, aka, its potential real-world applications.
But execution > idea. Isn't traction more important? |

"Soon?" No chance. Decades from now, low chance. The future of digital currency is still unknown. Assuming it becomes a major mechanism for exchange (which I think it will), it has the potential to displace current Fiat currencies for other nations. Until then (which will likely be a very long time), governments will continue to demand a centralized monetary system that they can control for their respective country. |

The past two weeks are very historical for Bitcoin...this was the time when we saw a bloodbath for the cryptocurrency market. The official color became red as Bitcoin and other coins faced a great test of their resiliency and strength. Induced by that great fear for the possibility of a split in the Bitcoin network and the mess that can come afterwards, many Bitcoin holders converted their Bitcoin to cash and other coins. Now, Bitcoin is already on the mode to fight back as we are already in the vicinity of $2,350 and because the split rumor is already dying down the value can now easily go up even up to $2,500 soon. Is it time to party or should we still have to be cautious? Speculation and manipulation will continue to cause fluctuations in price including spikes and crashes; however, digital currency is part of the future and we are only on the cusp. As adoption and education increases in this space, consolidation will occur and the most popular cryptocurrencies will hold the most value. Bitcoin has a strong future. Depending on your investment timeline, $2,500 can be an expensive or cheap price. Five months from now, no one knows. Five years from now, $2,500 will be considered very cheap. |

Rank the best coin investments for 2017-2018+
Rank should be based on future upside potential as well as stability and current/potential quality of technology, roadmaps into the future.
The cost per coin and how many you can accumulate should also be a factor, ie: a $2500 investment into BTC will give 1 btc and upside is limited due to a larger price per coin and future percentage gains.
Whereas a coin that is priced at $.10 I can accumulate 10,000 coins and hope for a large doubling, quadruplng etc. It is similar to penny stocks... The potential is greater with penny stocks, but the company may fold tomorrow based on unknowns. What's your rank?
here's mine:
1. bitcoin (btc)
2. litecoin (ltc)
3. ethereum (eth) & (ethc)
4. dash (dash)
5. ripple (xrp)
6. stratis (strat)
7. monero (xmr)
8. siacoin (sc)
9. Nem (xem)
10. dcred (dcr)
Waves, Tezos, and IOTA can build some momentum and make some noise in 2018. |

I am registering a new Company (UK), i would be needing 2 Directors with nice profiles. You could be dormant for the main time until the business can pay salaries then you get fully active.
I recently just got an investor for my project and am making sure I get it right. There is a slot for these directors you will be given a branded reseller site for your Country when the platform launches.
Interested? Send me your profile via PM for me to consider
Thanks.
Nice profiles + "Dormant" for the main time = Using name recognition for marketing purposes While I'm not against this, the best approach is to target individuals that meet the requirements you are looking for and either: - Approach them
- Seek an introduction or referral through an acquaintance
From there, build a relationship to ensure that your business and personal goals are aligned. Business relationships (whether directors, advisors, investments, employees, etc.) are long-term in nature. Bringing on a person into that role purely for vanity purposes without due diligence is a mistake and will likely end up hurting you in the long run. |
