Besides ethereum, I like
Bitcoin
NEO
EOS
Litecoin
Waves
IOTA
and this is because they have very promising potentials, they are safe, secure and reliable. They have good support system, technical and management team and also a very good community.

Sorry to hear this, though it is frustrating but you do not need to give up or be depressed. Take your time to do a very good research of the available projects, do not be in haste, take time and patiently res through all vital information and I am sure you will find a potential project with god manager, whitepaper, community and team to join.

In my own opinion, the stable coin are
Bitcoin
Ethereum
NEO
EOS
Litecoin
Waves
Tether
TrueUSD

To me, the ethereum wallet that I have used are very good and they are very reliable but I will also read about this wallet and try to know how potential it is with all these features you listed that it has and if I find it potential, I will try it out.

Aside bitcoin, I will suggest you invest in ethereum for long term as it is also very promising and potential on hold because the price can rise very fast compared to other altcoin. Ethereum also have very good technology and professional team, it is safe, secure and reliable.

Personally, I think ethereum will continue to be the best and as it is growing, it will improve it system and remain the best altcoin. DIECI may have good technology and smart contrast but I do not think it will be able to replace ethereum in future.

I believe that before the end of the year possibly from this august, crypto will show positive movement in its price and the bull run will take over the market because crypto has a very bright future and with patience, we will achieve this goal. Let's not panic but be patient till the markte recover fully from the bear.

Whitepaper to me is a very important part of a project and if an ico doesn't have this, then I do not think they are good because the whitepaper gives the aim and ideas of the project and without this, I do not know how they want to convince investors that the project is a good one to invest in.

Yes, they can join crypto because when they take their time to read about crypto and even participate actively in the forum, they will begin to get knowledge and improve themselves as time goes on and I am sure before you come into crypto, you will be determined and that will help them to try and improve.

I believe icos will not end as long as crypto still exist because there will continue to be new ideas and investors will still invest in them only that the rate of scam project will increase but if there is a regulation to monitor that, companies will take more time to reason and come up with good ideas of project.

If yo want to invest this on long term, I will suggest you invest in
bitcoin
ethereum
neo and
liecoin
because these coin have very good potentials and they are also promising coin for hold on long term investment. You should invest the largest amount in bitcoin and ethereum then the later in neo and litecoin.

Yes, I will say that altcoins are better than bitcoin in terms of technology, transaction speed and low fee but they cannot crush bitcoin because bitcoin is more valuable and stable than them. Bitcoin has very promising potentials and the slow rate of transaction I believe is due to congestion on its blockchain and this will be better with time.

If you are think of invest in crypto, this is a very good period for you to buy you desired coin because the price is low already and if you buy now, you can hold for long term or hold till when the price will be high before you sell because when the market recover from the bear, the price will rise again.

Thank you for this piece and the time you took to make this analysis and put these together because it is very useful for newbies who are trying to find list and ratings of available icos. I use icodrops because i believe and icobench because I think I can get good projects there and after checking this list, I go back to do my own research for me to be sure it is a good project.

Apart from the bitcointalk forum, I get new about cryptocurrency from
social media platforms like twitter, facebook, telegram
coindesk and
coindelite.

Yes, this is a very good point to note when you want to invest or even participate in any bounty, take time to do a very good research and read the white paper thoroughly before you invest in it so that you will make profit rather than being a victim of scam.

Although ethereum has very good features and it is also a very promising coin and with high demands, it can get to this price but considering the current situation of the crypt market, I think ethereum can not reach this price before the end of this year 2018 but it will in 2019. It will need a time for it to reach this amount and a high demand also.

Yes, I agree with the good features of Neo as it is a promising coin. You can buy as much neo as you desire with your spare cash and hold it for long term as it will yield reasonable profit buy the time you decide to dell because the price would have risen higher than it is now.

Apart from bitcoin and ethereum, I will suggest NEO, EOS, waves and litecoin because they are also very good coin with promising potentials and good technological and management team. They are good coin to invest in and hold for long term.

If you loss you private key, I don not think there is a way to get it back except you have saved it in an hard drive or flash drive or you wrote it somewhere but if you did none of this, you cannot be able to access your funds in that wallet again because the private key is the only key to access the funds.
