Have you checked details about Athero ico, they claim to have raised over 19 million in their tokensale, for which they do not provide any trackable proof, their token is already trading on some exchanges but the team has been behaving suspiciously they have not been active now on their telegram social media channels where they were readily answering members while ico, secondly they continued delayed bounty tokens and now final deadline was 20 april which has also passed and the team has disappeared there is no update or notification or email whatsoever so all this situation clearly depicts the scammy behaviour and massive red flags over this project, i hope team will be active again but chances seem rare for this.

You are right market has been badly effected due to scammy and failed ico projects in last few months which has resulted in interestless ico market where no one wants to invest now because of so many recent scams, i think icos should only be allowed afyer proper registration on a centralized and regulated platform only.

If you are talking specifically about next generation smart contract based coins then i think ada, icx, neo and eos have the potential to make a mark some other projects like tron and aion also have good potential but only if the team and developers keep together and stay focussed on their development and obviously Eth is going to be the ultimate king in this class by then.

I would rather be more direct and straightforward and suggets all to stick to top 3 to 5 exchanges for ieos as smaller and new exchanges can deceive you and also put you in trouble as their ieo handling capabilities are not known and we do not know people behind each exchange, at best i think only binance, bittrex, kucoin, huobi and okex are the ones that are recommended they have proven platforms with high volumes and liquidity.

I truly think that big developing economies like China, India and Pakistan etc need a forward looking approach and policy for blockchain technology especially if they want to progress and compete with the world as soon everything is going to be updated with blockchain tech and these emerging economies need to get on board as soon as possible for the benefit of their country and people.

Yes bounty rewards sre getting smaller and that is ok to me but when the team makes fake promises and lame excuses or does not simply pay the rewards to genuine promoters it really hurts and we do not have any third party to complain or claim our reward which leaves bounty hunters helpless in such situations.

I would have liked more if Samsung would have implemented and added already available coins like btc, eth or xrp in their ecosystem i personally do not get the purpose of such a move i mean why such big corporations need their own coin. Coin is just required for funding and when you already have funds then there is not much need of creating a new coin.

Satoshi is the star of blockchain world and i think even if he comes forward with same anonymous name on fb and twitter he will instantly get millions of followers and he can be an influencer that can positively effect crypto market and community.

I think eth/usd pair is doing fine and is poised for massive growth but personally i am a little worried about eth/btc pair because it is undervalued and the charts do not look great either currently i think eth should value from 0.08 to 0.1 in btc pair anything under that is undervalued and i am sure sooner or later eth is going to get its right value.

From your list i will short list waves as i think it is one coin that is massively under valued and in my opinion it should have more value than atleast neo but somehow it has not been able to come to the limelight may be they need proactive and active targetted marketing to promote their products and services and get the required attention.

I do not think there is much of a comparison because eth is a way broader platform and its scope and future prospects are huge while binance has its own ecosystem and services and binance chain is being developed to basically cater to their own ecosystem and making it more efficient and according to their own needs so i do not think it can be compared to eth in anyway.

You are very right and soon we will discover that the world is finally accepting cryptos and blockchain technology and everything will upgrade to this revolutionary technology be it industrial operations or governance procedures blockchain will make world more efficient and productive and also ease audit and reduce corruption.

I think IEOs are the new accepted form of ico because they are thought to cover the scam issue because each exchange thoroughly examines the project and interviews the team before they list the project so trust issues are being addressed by these exchanged hosting the icos and i think this is a step in the right direction by the exchanges.

I would suggest you to stay in bitcoin at the moment as if next bull starts btc will dominate the market and it willbe the first to skyrocket then when you think it jas reached the peak then is the time to move to alts because then it will be alts turn to move.

You are absolutely right and what i recall is that Athero ran a comprehensive and extended campaign lasting for over 4 months and thousands of bounty hunters were promoting it due to the promise of nice bounty reward but in the end they kept making false promises and paid nothing i think the culprits should be identified somehow and their should be proper criminal proceedings against them and if they are still unable to honor their claim then they should be jailed.

Waves is a good project and i have seen fights where people claiming that waves will be bigger than eth and even btc but then we see nothing but struggle for waves. I have been holding some waves from like 2 plus years but im now thinking to move to eth or btc because waves has not grown according to expectations.

I do support the idea that only quality projects and coins should be listed and there should be a way to filter scammy, bad quality or failed projects but seems like it is not very easy thing to determine which project is worth it and which is not so let them list and let the community decide.

The question is what will a merger do i mean how it will help a project or help it to survive and be successful i think every project is unique with their own concept, aims and teams so a merger perhaps is not an easy thing to do and the major conflict even if a merger happens will be the use of funds and resources.

If we look at positively this means more power to the real Bitcoin as the bch and bsv volume will come back to btc again boosting its growth, volume and value and if we look at this thing critically this is perhaps against the decentralized concept where some coins are forcefully dumped and delisted.

I would have liked if the issues were settled nicely but somehow things went wrong and we are seeing this as a result, the only positive outcome of this conflict to me is that the CEO of the biggest crypto exchange is a strong supporter of crypto concept and he is trying his best to safegaurd the interest of the crypto community.
