1. Being transparent for the community and honest 2. Communication, communication, communication 3. Write HOW tokens relate to the project (only speculative, or a security) 4. Webinars
Thank you! I will add this tip from you: -Write HOW tokens relate to the project (only speculative, or a security) The tokens in many ICOs serve no purpose. For those ICOs that push their token as a security or investment, they are putting themselves in the SEC's and regulators' radar. If regulators come after them, then both the project team and token holders will lose. This is an area that both project teams and token buyers should spend way more time to learn and understand.

You have presented steps of ICO in general here. These are the good points that needs to be followed but as user of ICO I will put some of my thoughts about the ICO projects.
ICO usually publish themselves with a idea and concept about their products and services. And if you look out the percentage then 98% ICO will be like that only. Then don't just have anything in hands only the whitepaper and a roadmap. That's like hitting the bulls eye from the moon. We will never know unless and until we see it our eyes that their products has been really launched in the market. Most of them fail to do so and leave the project behind in between.
So my point being here is that we should have ICO which are having working prototype of the product or services in their hands ready for us to take trials of. If that happen then millions of people will join the ICO blindly as they will know it's gonna be success for sure.
I agree with most things you saying. BUT a working product or MVP is no guarantee at all! I do agree that per example MVP is a plus by decision making! Other, it always really depends on the project. If you come up with new technologies or complex projects there might be 1% that could financial it out of own pocket and wait 1 - 2 years to go public funding... but in reality as said, who has the money and time to do so? I do agree, in a perfect scenario you are right. You need to have common sense to see if a project is unique or complex and needs funding to be realized. Of course there is always a bitter taste at the end but this is how crypto works until now. It might chance one day... Soooo much scam around.. Also one thing to mention, if a project ask for ten of millions of dollars to be realized, is that amount really necessary? I mean from my experience 1 - 5 mio is enough for most of the cases... but that is just IMHO... You're correct that a MVP is no guarantee, but it should reduce the risk significantly. Venture Capitalists RARELY invest in startups that don't have a MVP or working product. It is stunning to see how many ICOs have nothing built. The white paper is the most work that they've put into their projects. The white paper is easier than a business plan and the only people who traditionally would invest in a startup with nothing else but a business plan, were friends and family.

I made my bet, and I'm currently exploring your site. Seems interesting, but on mobile it's pretty difficult to browse.
Love to get your feedback on what is difficult. Feel free to elaborate. Which mobile OS and device are you using? Fully updated Galaxy and chrome. I would say the site is ok, the reason why I wrote this is that when I opened a round page (i..e. https://stockbet.com/#/BullBear/round/17943) i wasn't able to find the button to place the bet. Now i understood Am I correct to assume that you were able to find the button? What made it hard for you to find it?

As shown by the results of the poll (55%), most people will not use a Bitcoin bank.
The issue with a Bitcoin bank is the same issue with exchanges. You will never know if a rogue employee will steal the money. You will never know if a hacker will steal the money.

There are many sites that list ICOs and token sales. However, they are a subset of the list on Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) page, for the following reasons: - Not all of the project teams will know about all of the ICO sites, but they all know about and will announce on Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) page
- Not all of the projects will pay to get listed on these ICO sites
However, Bitcointalk.org's Announcement (Altcoins) sorts the announcements based on which ones had the most recent comments. Therefore, on the first page, you'll see announcements that were originally posted months ago and even announcements whose token sales have ended. To find the most recent announcements, go to Bitcointalk's advanced search page and enter: - ANN in the "Search for:" field
- Change the "Between 0 and 9999 days" field
- Under "Choose a board to search in, or search all", uncheck "Check all". Then click on + to expand the list and check only "Announcements (Altcoins)"
- Click Search
This will show the announcements for the days that you selected. Thank you for sharing how to search for the latest announcements! It`s like a lifehack for me ) You can add a small step: - ANN in the "Search for:" field
- Check the "Search in topic subjects only" box (but I'm not sure if this narrows down the search results)
- Change the "Between 0 and 9999 days" field
- Under "Choose a board to search in, or search all", uncheck "Check all". Then click on + to expand the list and check only "Announcements (Altcoins)"
- Click Search
Note that some projects might announce a couple of months in advance. (We did this and probably announced too early.) So I wouldn't enter a small number in the "Between 0 and 9999 days" field.

I don't know about Bitcoin Cash, but Ethereum is hitting short term resistance.
Don't be surprised if Ethereum takes another correction.

I see Edward Snowden being relevant few years ago, but after his exposé about the NSA's inner doings, I don't see his opinion having any weight most especially in cryptocurrencies. Cyber security issues, I might give him a shot, but this is way beyond his line in my opinion. But amazingly his positive remarks about Zcash caused some positive gains for a few while before it went back down again.
Good point. It's amazing that people are listening to Paris Hilton's and Floyd Mayweather's recommendations on ICOs.

In the long run, Ethereum will go up.
However, it has been hitting resistance. In the short run, it might take a correction.

If you cannot emotionally handle volatility, you should not be trading crypto currencies.
These suckers are more volatile than small cap stocks.

Ethereum will go up in the long run.
However, it has been hitting resistance in the short run, so it might take a correction.

Ethereum will go up in the long run.
However, for the short run, it's hitting resistance and will likely take a correction.

i see i have 25k C on our site? What does it mean?
When you sign up, you get 25k free Chips (C). This is free digital money. With funding from the Token Sale, we plan to replace the Chips with the new StockBet Tokens (and do several other things as well).
