Like picking a real currency - Know the Original, then the fakes will stand out.  

There are certain Common Features of Legitimacy that can help you avoid the landmines:

#1)  Is it based on an idea that can clearly be Market Disruptive by solving some inefficiency/annoyance in current  paradigms?

RATIONALE:  Even if it's not a scam,  it has to eventually be profitable or the effect on you will be the same as a scam:  Dollars in and $0 out.

#2)  Is this coin's Whitepaper coherent, realistic, and brief?

RATIONALE:  While Whitepaper's are "a dime a dozen",  if someone can't explain to you in a short paragraph (even in one sentence, while standing on one foot), WHAT their objective is, then their idea; though it may not be a scam, is not focused enough to trust with your talent or your stored labor (your money).

#3)  Is this a single entrepreneur with an idea or a head entrepreneur with a small team of different subject-matter experts with Vision, Marketing, Technical, Administrative, Legal, and Administrative skills.  

RATIONALE:  One person with an idea had better quickly put a great team together to get past the sticky Scam-Trap starting line.

#4)  Is this enterprising team TRANSPARENT?  Do they have a Master Schedule?  Are they ON SCHEDULE?  Do they have a handle on costs?  Have they stated what they are doing NEXT and how long they expect it to take?  Will they promptly answer your tough questions and those of others out in the open?  Are they honest about the RISKS they (and you) face?  Do they have means to show real-time whether they have a prayer of penetrating the Market - that the Market is taking more notice of them each day, that others whom you already trust to have as much or more knowledge as you are positively inclined toward them?  

RATIONALE:  Figures don't lie, but liars do figure.


Crypto is here to stay!  Consider the condemning jeers of the horse lovers around the turn of the Century around 1900:  

- Horse lovers jeered automobiles:  They're too noisey.  
- They require their own mechanic to ride along.  
- The tires don't last.  
- Gasoline is hard to get, but horse-feed is everywhere.  
- They get stuck in the mud!

Yet; today,  automobiles are everywhere.

This is No Longer the time to be skeptical of shared-ledger crypto algorythms.  It's a time to maximize gain potential at the lowest risk potential.

Below is a legitimate paradigm and matching ICO in progress for your consideration:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Javascript Enabled Coin (JSEcoin): https://platform.jsecoin.com/?lander=3&utm_source=referral&utm_campaign…

OBJECTIVE:  Be the first "Publicly Accessible CryptoCoin".

GOAL:   JSEcoin will achieve this goal by disrupting the massive Web Advertising Industry; thus, enabling Webmasters to monetize their sites with software who currently have no serious alternative to obnoxious, in your face, Ad-Craziness.

SOLUTION:  The Browsing User can unobtrusively pay their browsing freight for a given website through an ad-free, hassle-free, or ad-minimal method; thus, the user visits the website hassle-free and the Webmaster can pay for their website's existence.

OTHER BENEFITS:

- Far more mining energy is saved than for Bitcoin and similar "server farm" mining, because JSECoin uses what currently is wasted energy from underutilized CPU cycles of user browsing.  The browsing computer is on anyway, and huge numbers of CPU cycles (i.e. electricity and time) are wasted, simply because the browsing computer is turned on.  Use those wasted cycles and save energy and dollars.

- Every user HAS TO Opt-In or not (Unlike sneaky coins that steal your CPU cycles, this is a voluntary arrangement.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if you are a sure crypto-skeptic, you still have curiousity!  If you are curious at all whether crypto-currency has any real/lasting Market-Disrupting potential that you may be missing, invest 5-10 entertaining minutes examining
