And what is the ICO influence on coin prices ?
Generally the amount put into the crowdfund dictates the coin market cap. For example, if you put in 1BTC and the project collects 1BTC TOTAL all the coins will be worth 1BTC. So 100,000 Xcoins will be worth 1BTC if 2BTC is put in that puts 100,000 Xcoins at a 2BTC market cap. Make sure you are careful with ICO's some of them are scams, there are a few good projects that are associated with ICO's - successful ICO's include projects like NXT and Ethereum. My site lists ICO's on a time schedule: http://icocountdown.comCheck out my blog because I do research into them to see if they are scams or otherwise: https://medium.com/@icocountdown/

I highly recommend you don't invest in an ICO until you feel confident that you understand some of the fundamental aspects of profiting from them. the ICOcountdown.com person has in fact done a good job of sussing out the scams and their blog probably is a good start. Beyond that it is a good idea to read, research, read more, research more and then invest only an amount that you can afford to lose.

You should not give developers money before the ICO opens, you will get scammed. Make sure you always use an escrow service or the ICO is using some sort of Escrow, there are a few exceptions where it is ok not to use an escrow but generally no escrow is a redflag. The free market dictates the price, the ICO after it is released on the free market can go up or it can go down(when it's listed on exchanges). You have to use your own judgement as to whether it will go up or go down to make profits just like traditional trading on every market. You have to look at the ICO terms and do mathematical calculations also, for example WAVES offered a 20% bonus the first day. You have to make sure you do research. Also thanks for using my website

1.) it is a good idea to read, research, read more, research more 2.) and then invest only an amount that you can afford to lose. These are very good points, you have to really look at these markets and especially ICO's, I spend hours looking at the terms and doing research sometimes days, new information comes out regularly so you have to be on top of it. You must do your own due dilligence.

ICO is always scam because those offering it buy into it themselves to fool you so you think there would be high demand - and when buying their own ico they get to keep the coins they buy from their own offering PLUS the bitcoin and they will dump those extra coins on you later too. Nobody can prove it did happen, that's why it happens. Also the one offering the ICO can never prove he did not buy into it himself. So ico is complete scam normally. Don't be told otherwise by the scammers. The only legit way of distribution is mining - longterm mining, no flashmining.
You're welcome.

This doesn't make sense, what happens if you do not have the technical knowledge to mine or have the equipment? What if the developers want a lower cost energy coin using proof of stake? You cannot say all ICO's are scams, NXT and Ethereum are the 2 biggest successes in the market currently.

POS can have initial mining too, there is nothing that prevents a POS coin from having a fair distribution. Yes, i said all ico. Only because it's pumped later doesn't mean the distribution wasn't fraudulent.

You cannot debate that this is a fairer distribution method than ICO distribution because you know the same problems happen in each one. No coin has a fair distribution it is mathematically impossible.

The miner has high up-front costs and also electricity costs. He doesn't get the coins for free. Also you need to pay attention to the distribution of hashpower to know what's going on. In minig at least it's transparent what's happening while ICO is a black box.

In minig at least it's transparent what's happening while ICO is a black box. I'm going to respectfully disagree and say that each one has the exact same problems of distribution. In mining, power costs vary from geomeric locality. So it is higher cost for some and lower for others, some also have a big monopoly on mining power, you can see this problem is prevalent in Bitcoin right now. The same happens with ICO's with who has the highest Bitcoin supply to there disposal, it is essentially the same problem with all distribution methods. But again it's personal preference. I really like the conversation though, it is great to see a miners perspective on distribution methods. I think these sorts of conversations will educate people.

@OPDo you understand what ICO means now ? We all started calling them IPO's here on the forum a couple years ago when they emerged. But the guys making them started calling them ICO's instead or even ITO's (like the BlockNET dev said) ( Angel-Investing or Crowd-Funding would be similar names / meanings) If you have questions then be aggressive and jump in and ask. ( someone here will probably answer you) I am not expert on ICO's but know enough about them.. I do -NOT- support them.. ever.I myself think they are an unfair & shady / scammy initial distribution method for a CURRENCY. Plenty of people think ICO's are scammy too ..not just me.
My advice would be to avoid them all.This stuff is not *supposed* to be about new people coming here trying to make money. ..it's about "Alternative digital Currencies" ICO = SCAM

"ICOcountdown.com" but the only ICO expense is the cost of 'Hype' whereas mining requires cost of the electricity/hardware Both cost funds (i.e. Bitcoin) is my point, the person with the highest amount of funds always has a better chance than others and will own a higher amount of the supply. This is prevalent in mining and in ICO's. They both have the same problems. Fair distribution is a fallacy. To see a good example check out Bitcoin and see if the distribution of Bitcoin is "fair". Also I'm not really sure what "motive" you are referring to.

I personally think IPO/ICO coins are pretty much a 100% premined coin. I can sit at home with 1 CPU or GPU etc then mine 84 million coins by myself. Then sell them to you all for any amount i want..

Generally the amount put into the crowdfund dictates the coin market cap. For example, if you put in 1BTC and the project collects 1BTC TOTAL all the coins will be worth 1BTC. So 100,000 Xcoins will be worth 1BTC if 2BTC is put in that puts 100,000 Xcoins at a 2BTC market cap.

My site lists ICO's on a time schedule: http://icocountdown.comCheck out my blog because I do research into them to see if they are scams or otherwise: https://medium.com/@icocountdown/I've been here in this industry for 6 months almost, but only this time I fully understand what ICO really means. Although, every time there's an ico, I always participate their project and join their signature campaign too. But I don't know how they calculate the price. anyway, sir thank for the detail information, God bless.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. ICO or intial coin offering is an event where they sell parts of cryptocurrency tokens for exchange of money today. It also provide a way to raise money for those who create cryptocurrency projects and their operations. Most of this ICO raised money in bitcoin.

It is used to bypass the regulated capital raising process required by banks , in the ICO campaign the percentage of cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project usually for bitcoins.

Right now, the majority of ICOs are not anymore focusing on a single coin. Yes, bitcoin for some but for most they are using ETH. Others are accepting two to three coins for their project's ICO. Waves, Ripple, LTC, ETC are all being used for ICOs right now.

We can make profit in ico by investing on it. When you buy tokens when pre ico the amount per token is much cheaper when you buy during the ico. So many are investing while pre ico and took the chance to male a huge profit. But we should analyzie first the whitepaper and its roadmap if its worth to invest.

ICO is the first stock offering aimed at attracting investors before they launch in the trading market, many bonuses and tokens they sell below the primary price to hook users and for token success. This is very effective in campaign and business promotion.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is basically an unregulated means of crowdfunding via cryptocurrency. ICOs sell a right of ownership or royalties to a project. According to Amy Wan, a partner at Trowbridge Sidoti LLP practicing crowdfunding and syndication law, “The coin in an ICO is a symbol of ownership interest in an enterprise—a digital stock certificate, if you will.”

As I see it, Initial Coin Offering is emphasizing the value of crypto investment. The ICO makes use of bitcoin or eth token to improve the quality of payment system. An example is Everex. You can read the reasons why Everex investment makes sense, goo.gl/E2NDF2 Everex is a Singaporean company who aims to build a quicker and safer remittance system worldwide. Alexi Lane and his team want every one to use an ethereum wallet app that transfers money anywhere and anytime.

Icos are used for like crowdfunding where you cannot get big investors due to market hold or competition. You can never expect free enerzy devices to get funding from oil wells. Genuine icos and scams are big topic to be discussed.

I can define ICO as an event whereby a newly created cryptocurrency raise funds. The newly created coin should have their whitepaper to explain to their investors what the project is about, how much money is needed to undertake the venture and everything that is related to their projects should be mentioned there, this will include the bonuses, what type of currencies are accepted, and how long the ICO campaign will run for.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is an offer from owner of crypto currency before the launching of coin and to get the capital from the investors at low rate of the coin and after launching its price will go up.

An ICO is similar to a conventional company listing its shares on a stock exchange for the first time. It needs money so sells the shares. Potential investors will look at the prospectus to see if the company is a worthwhile investment. ICO is same as share and whitepaper is the prospectus.

Do you think ICO is a scam
Not all ICO's are scams and not all ICO's are successful. It's pretty much a high risk investment but you can eliminate some of the risk by researching carefully about the team and vision of the project.

Coin Offerings is like the new way of getting funding for a project. Most scams but we've gotten a lot of great projects out of ICO's.

Oh ok, but how can we make profit with ICOs ? Because i found your website and i was wondering if i should invest on coins before the opening of there ICOs or before the end of there ICOs
I highly recommend you don't invest in an ICO until you feel confident that you understand some of the fundamental aspects of profiting from them. the ICOcountdown.com person has in fact done a good job of sussing out the scams and their blog probably is a good start. Beyond that it is a good idea to read, research, read more, research more and then invest only an amount that you can afford to lose. so true. Do not until you regret in the future. This is an investment that has high risk. Nevertheless we can anticipate or minimize risk with research, carefulness and caution in making decisions.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is an offer from owner of crypto currency before the launching of coin and to get the capital from the investors at low rate of the coin and after launching its price will go up.
ICO is a good chance to get coins at discounted price. But it has a big risk. If it is a scam, you will lose your money. Before you invest on ICO, read their whitepaper and road map to understand their project and get trusted. If you are not satisfied, ignore it. Be careful, most are not getting success, their ICO s are only for getting funding for their projects.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a form of capital mobilization from investors, a number of cryptocurrency is offered to investors to create a premise for the project as well as to evaluate the value of the project
It is also a way for an company to raised capital like crowdfunding the project by selling tokens in return. Its new , unique and revolutionary that change the way in outsourcing funds. Though unregulated as of now and some are taking advantage of teh system, i hope fraud will be curb and addressed.

People tend to FOMO buy in almost every ICO there is out there without doing any research on the project or even knowing the purpose of the coin or token. Sometimes you might get lucky but it's not a wise decision in my book.

And what is the ICO influence on coin prices ?
Generally the amount put into the crowdfund dictates the coin market cap. For example, if you put in 1BTC and the project collects 1BTC TOTAL all the coins will be worth 1BTC. So 100,000 Xcoins will be worth 1BTC if 2BTC is put in that puts 100,000 Xcoins at a 2BTC market cap. Make sure you are careful with ICO's some of them are scams, there are a few good projects that are associated with ICO's - successful ICO's include projects like NXT and Ethereum. My site lists ICO's on a time schedule: http://icocountdown.comCheck out my blog because I do research into them to see if they are scams or otherwise: https://medium.com/@icocountdown/I've been here in this industry for 6 months almost, but only this time I fully understand what ICO really means. Although, every time there's an ico, I always participate their project and join their signature campaign too. But I don't know how they calculate the price. anyway, sir thank for the detail information, God bless. The same here, I don't know how to calculate the final price per token. Your information above will help me a lot and getting things cleared in my mind now. ICO is the building a new innovative token with a certain budget in designated bounty.

ICO is Initial Coin Offering that is most in demand right now and booming and most of it is using Ethereum as a investment platform and I used to joined in a several ICO right now. Just a piece of advice be safe in investing with ICO because not all of them are legit and will survive in the long term, use your research power and stalking power to get what you want from them and what is their future.

Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to by pass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for bitcoin.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) have become a popular way to fund cryptocurrency projects. An ICO is an event in which a new cryptocurrency project sells part of its cryptocurrency tokens to early adopters and enthusiasts in exchange for money today. ICOs provide a way for cryptocurrency project creators to raise money for their operations. Most ICOs raise money in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. The ICO usually takes place before the project is completed, and helps fund the expenses undertaken by the founding team until launch. For some of the larger projects, part of the ICO money goes into a foundation that provides ongoing support to the project. They also work as an initial distribution model for the cryptocurrency tokens, especially those with a proof of stake consensus algorithm. The ICO participants are invested in the success of the project. They can help get the word out and raise awareness in the broader community. They also provide early liquidity for the cryptocurrency tokens when they start trading. The ICO participants are also usually motivated by a profit potential if the project takes off and the tokens become worth more than the ICO price.ecome worth more than the ICO price.

I think the user must first do research on what ideas and advantages that dev deved to the audience because that's the important thing to determine the profit you'll get. When you choose and buy tokens or ICOs without doing any research first, maybe the risks you'll get are getting bigger because not necessarily the ICO you buy will have a price or a market

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. An ICO is a fundraising tool that trades future cryptocoins in exchange for cryptocurrencies of immediate, liquid value. You give the ICO bitcoin or ethereum, and you get some of Billy’s New Super Great Coin or the infamous CrunchCoin. In the simplest terms, an ICO is a fundraising means in which a company attracts investors looking for the next big crypto score by releasing its own digital currency in exchange, typically, for bitcoin.

This has most likely been answered by the amount of posts but I'll quickly give you a short answer:
IPO - Initial Coin Offering
A lot like a IPO with stocks. It's when a new cryptocurrency is going public with there coin and is getting first wave of people to invest (purchase coin) at a low beginning price.
It's basically the start of the coin being released to the market for the first time and allows people to buy in first usually at a low price. The money made from the ICO usually goes back into the coin development but that does depend on what is stated it will be used for in each individual ICO

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. ICO stands for Initial Coin Offering or referred to as a crowdsale. It is basically a way to gather money or BTC, ETH, Waves, or LTC, etc. The resources gathered are then used to further develop their project, hire new members to the team, and generally for the improvement of whatever the project is about. The dates vary according to project.

ICO is Initial coin offering. They will sell some coins or tokens during the ICO so that they have money to develop the project. With those amount of money they collect from investors, they will use it and make the coin/token stronger. Investors will receive coin or tokens which can be value or not depend on the project of the team

A lot was said of what the ICO is about. More important is to understand where exactly to invest. I don't think that the ICO is a lottery. It's possible to say whether the ICO will bring profit or it is just a simple scam or simply whether the idea simply has no future. Just look carefully before you give any money.

I think there is no need for me to repeat a Wikipedia explanation of what exactly ICO is. I just wanted to add that if you are willing to manage ICO campaign, you need to prepare a strong well-written white paper that will clearly explain the purpose of your project. Your white paper can either attract a whole bunch of potential investors or bury your project during the pre-launch phase - it is that crucial for you.

An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks If start-up would like to involve investors, it has to prepare a strong white-paper. It’s a visit card of the company. Strong white-paper – strong investors.

I regard that ICO is created to raise funds for the project and the product it represents itself, including development and promotional aspects. The more people are interested in the ICO, the more potential investors will be willing to be engaged into it and make investments into it as well.

Understanding What an ICO Is And Why Government Wants to Regulate It It would appear that on planet crypto, ICOs are currently the flavor of the month, perhaps also of the season. With each passing day, a new ICO is announced and they have now become ubiquitous across all forms of media. Coinidol writers, for example, receive information on at least one new ICO every day. With so much variety to choose from, any investor would be right to ask how to go about picking a viable ICO, and avoid falling into the hands of the scammers who litter the crypto landscape. So how does one know which ICO to invest in? Before we can answer that question, we would benefit by understanding what ICOs are.

Supporting the development team by giving them funds for them to work on stuff is a method to show that you are supporting the coin. that's the main purpose, I could say that most of the ico investors were money oriented, they expect money but also expecting the project to grow up succesfully,. by that,they won't miss a project that could be another huge company in the future, also, if the project becoming success, they'll get profit from it too.

And what is the ICO influence on coin prices ?
Generally the amount put into the crowdfund dictates the coin market cap. For example, if you put in 1BTC and the project collects 1BTC TOTAL all the coins will be worth 1BTC. So 100,000 Xcoins will be worth 1BTC if 2BTC is put in that puts 100,000 Xcoins at a 2BTC market cap. Make sure you are careful with ICO's some of them are scams, there are a few good projects that are associated with ICO's - successful ICO's include projects like NXT and Ethereum. My site lists ICO's on a time schedule: http://icocountdown.comCheck out my blog because I do research into them to see if they are scams or otherwise: https://medium.com/@icocountdown/Now I get how coins or tokens after ICO get their coin price. But Sir, if they don't get to 1Btc as the amount put into the ICO till when their ICO ends, how does it affect them or it doesn't?

ICO's can make you a lot of money or leave you empty handed if it ends up being a scam. I have been on the receiving end of both. Be careful and do your research before investing.
But who knows the best way to check into the project?

ICO it is a project with own coins what is similar with "actions" . When you buy whis coins it means you bought 'actions' of this project, you invested in ICO. And if ICO will be succesful your coins will grow in price and you can sell it, or it can be scam and you lose everything. So it needs a lot of learning about ICO's

ICO also known as Initial coin offering.
It's a crowd funding for the Token to gain more investors on the community. But, some ICO don't hit their targer price for thier coin some are just failing and some are running. Always take caution when investing your money.

"DEFINITION of 'Initial Coin Offering (ICO)' An unregulated means by which funds are raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is used by startups to bypass the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists or banks. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for Bitcoin.
Also called an Initial Public Coin Offering (IPCO).
BREAKING DOWN 'Initial Coin Offering (ICO)' When a cryptocurrency startup firm wants to raise money through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO), it usually creates a plan on a whitepaper which states what the project is about, what need(s) the project will fulfill upon completion, how much money is needed to undertake the venture, how much of the virtual tokens the pioneers of the project will keep for themselves, what type of money is accepted, and how long the ICO campaign will run for. During the ICO campaign, enthusiasts and supporters of the firm’s initiative buy some of the distributed cryptocoins with fiat or virtual currency. These coins are referred to as tokens and are similar to shares of a company sold to investors in an Initial Public Offering (IPO) transaction. If the money raised does not meet the minimum funds required by the firm, the money is returned to the backers and the ICO is deemed to be unsuccessful. If the funds requirements are met within the specified timeframe, the money raised is used to either initiate the new scheme or to complete it.
Early investors in the operation are usually motivated to buy the cryptocoins in the hope that the plan becomes successful after it launches which could translate to a higher cryptocoin value than what they purchased it for before the project was initiated. An example of a successful ICO project that was profitable to early investors is the smart contracts platform called Ethereum which has Ethers as its coin tokens. In 2014, the Ethereum project was announced and its ICO raised $18 million in Bitcoins or $0.40 per Ether. The project went live in 2015 and in 2016 had an ether value that went up as high as $14 with a market capitalization of over $1 billion.
ICOs are similar to IPOs and crowdfunding. Like IPOs, a stake of the startup or company is sold to raise money for the entity’s operations during an ICO operation. However, while IPOs deal with investors, ICOs deal with supporters that are keen to invest in a new project much like a crowdfunding event. But ICOs differ from crowdfunding in that the backers of the former are motivated by a prospective return in their investments, while the funds raised in the latter campaign are basically donations. For these reasons, ICOs are referred to as crowdsales.
Although there are successful ICO transactions on record and ICOs are poised to be disruptive innovative tools in the digital era, investors are cautioned to be wary as some ICO or crowdsale campaigns are actually fraudulent. Because these fund-raising operatives are not regulated by financial authorities such as the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), funds that are lost due to fraudulent initiatives may never be recovered.
In early September, 2017, the People's Bank of China officially banned ICOs, citing it as disruptive to economic and financial stability. The central bank said tokens cannot be used as currency on the market and banks cannot offer services relating to ICOs. As a result, both bitcoin and ethereum tumbled, and it was viewed as a sign that regulations of cryptocurrencies are coming. The ban also penalizes offerings already completed."

ICO, or Initial Coin Offering (the primary location of the tokens) is the issuance of any project coupons or tokens designed to pay for site services in the future - in the form of a crypto currency.

ICO is the crypto equivalent of an IPO on a traditional stock exchange.
Seems like this is the new way for companies to raise the funds they need to develop a project without all the red tape associated with the stock market.
Peronally I would not invest further in any new ICO, I have seen them all cheaper after the ICO finishes in the stage before the product launches. I think the ICO is a good time to research and get to know a company but for maximum value I would invest afterwards.

ICO is a new hyped way to fundraise the money for projects, mostly there are connected with blockchain technology. Duration of ICO and money target is regulated by team of projects. All their step about implementing the projects we can see in road map and white paper. Ppl who want to invest in projects buy company's tokens and then they can use it or sell it.

ico is that we send valuable coins to the ico project team, then the team takes the funds to develop the project as well as sends the coins to us. Finally, the team will speculate on the price of the coins so that our investors can make money.

that is the sales made by the project and this will refer much to the long-established altcoin / bitcoin and this will also respond to the coin that has coin offering, but still running the sale and purchase transactions in the existing market.

You warned him to STAY AWAY from ICO. I guessed your investment in one of the ICO failed. ICO are trending nowadays this is another version of IPO in stocks. There are always risk whether ICO, IPO or an old coin. If we want to earn money we need to take the risk.

In my opinion ICO is an extension of Initial Coin Offering, ie Initial is the same as Early or First, Coin here is defined as Token / Coin. And Offering has a Bid meaning. So it can be concluded the meaning of the word ICO is the First Coin Offer before the coin is published to a free market.
ICO was first performed in 2013, the first coin to use ICO method is coin MasterCoin (OMNI). A Cryptocurrency like bitcoin has a system like blockchain, which has garnered many tokens before the release of coin in July 2013 through the Bitcointalk.org Forum ... And Ethereum (ETH) coin is the most successful using the ICO method to date, even the current price of Ethereum / BTC is 0.0545 BTC or in IDR worth approximately Rp 4,000,000.

ICO or Initial Coin Offering is way for start up to sell their token to the the investor, they collect money from the investor then they give their token. This start ups collected money for development of their project. But now too many ICO failed and the price of token drop after listing in exchange because some ICO does not have working product, only plan in the white paper that not sure can be reality. So important to make analysis and research before investing in any ICO.

Initial coin offering (ICO) is an unregulated and controversial means of crowdfunding via use of cryptocurrency,[1] which can be a source of capital for startup companies.[2] In an ICO a percentage of the newly issued cryptocurrency is sold to investors in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
Early token sales were held by Mastercoin in July 2013 and Ethereum and Karmacoin in 2014, but "mainstream" ICOs began with messaging app developer Kik in September 2017. By November 2017 there were around 50 offerings a month. ICOs can be used for a wide range of activities, ranging from corporate finance to charitable fundraising to outright fraud.[22] The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has warned investors to beware of scammers using ICOs to execute "pump and dump" schemes, in which the scammer talks up the value of an ICO in order to generate interest and drive up the value of the coins, and then quickly "dumps" the coins for a profit.

ICO or Initial Coin Offering is mean crowdsale where start ups collect money by sell their token, which similar with IPO (Initial Public Offering) in stock market, but different thing between ICO with IPO is ICO does not have regulation , then usually no minimum to participate, but in IPO usually there minimum amount and some big investor only can participate. Because no regulation that why too many ICO now.

According to wikipedia, "Initial coin offering (ICO) is an unregulated and controversial means of crowdfunding via the use of cryptocurrency, which can be a source of capital for startup companies. In an ICO a percentage of the newly issued cryptocurrency is sold to investors in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin". As for ICO, it is not strong enough to stand as Altcoin, so it depends on Altcoin. Currently there are many ICOs that are the network of ETH. When a Cryptocurrency business starts making money through the ICO, they usually create a plan for a project-specific report, what the project needs to do after completion, how much money is needed. To make a joint venture, how much of the project's pioneers token will keep themselves, how much money is accepted, and how long the ICO will run the campaign.

The ico is the crowdfunding, and the team then takes your money to develop the blockchain project and then puts the COINS on the exchange where the COINS are in value, so that the ico can make money.

Thanks a lot if someone can help me. when developer creates the coin or token it needs to promote first thats why they start putting a thread for the announcement of their project and discuss for what makes good to the project that they proposed. and after that they making another one thread for the ICO announcement. most of them they want bounties, airdrops, or an ico sale's that has big bonuses. that's only my thoughts.

In addition, An Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is an unregulated means of crowdfunding using cryptocurrency, which is applied by cryptocurrency businesses as an alternative to the rigorous and regulated capital-raising process required by venture capitalists, banks, or stock exchanges. These function by selling off a created digital token which is somehow tied into the company, product, or service.

ICO Extension of Initial Coin Offering. Initial means the earliest, Coin means digital token / coin and Offering means bidding, when interpreted in its entirety means the earliest coin offerings before launch into the free market. This is usually offered by developers where their goal is to raise funds to develop their projects do in this case is a digital coin. They need funds to maximize the projects they are doing so they can quickly grow and can be quickly completed.

ICO (Initial coin/token offering) is a new crowdfunding mechanism for startups, allowing projects at an early stage to collect the necessary funds in a short period of time. Today, ICO is Low-Cost Growth Funding and it is the most convenient tool for attracting investments, including due to the lack of legal regulation and supervision.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. In a nutshell, this is the initial placement of coins. The bottom line is that there is a company that wants to launch its own crypto-currency, which will be responsible for a certain task. But to launch the development, it is necessary to raise funds, basically this is the sum of the most popular crypto-currencies, such as ether or bitcoin, which the contributors list. In exchange, the company gives its coins, or tokens, which can then be exchanged for other crypto-currencies. That is, it is a kind of crowd-funding and bonds at the same time. More about it you can see here ICO investment.

ICO is an analog of IPO, only the crypto currency market. ICO - this is the distribution of tokens among investors of the project blockbuster. ICO allows developers to attract investments for their project, and investors to profit from the increase in the cost of tokens.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. ICO is a form of capital mobilization of an organization or individual based on the idea of creating a token developed under blockchain technology! The most famous ICO is the ETHEREUM that raised more than eighteen million dollars in 2014 and increased its total capitalization to over $ 1 billion by 2016. ICO similar to IPO and Crowdfunding. Like an IPO, shares of start-up companies or companies are sold to raise funds for the organization's activities in an ICO operation. However, the IPO should deal with the law, while the ICO deals with the investor. Although, there are many ICO projects dedicated to success and profitability for companies and investors. But it is still inevitable that many ICOs have only paper ideas, huge advertising, no potential and the community is not supportive. We also should not be good, select carefully and avoid such projects. You need to carefully choose the mentor as well as learn how people develop before investing in the ICO, as they are all based on ideas and have not given specific products!

An initial coin offering is similar in concept to an initial public offering (IPO). ICO offers cryptocurrency in return for investment, more commonly known as a coin or token. A good ICO have the potential to make you rich in short term.

I think ICO is an extension of the initial coin offering so you can get a good deal to buy the coin you have and can get a lot of bonus from ICO and certainly can grow the assets you have.

ICO - Initial Coin Offering is sometimes called IPCO - Initial Public Coin Offering is a startup fund that aims to raise capital by distributing some of the resources to people who have decided to support it. With ICO we usually deal with before the project is completed, but funds can also be used to provide technical support for an already operating currency. The additional advantage of ICO is that supporters who believe in success will tell others about the new project by raising awareness in the cryptanalyst community. This also ensures a more fluent currency.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a means of crowdfunding a new cryptocurrency and an innovative idea that can be implemented on the blockchain technology (mostly, as of now). If you have heard about IPOs (Initial Public Offerings) in traditional stock market, you'll understand that ICO is a little similar, yet different, concept but for cryptocurrencies. When some bad-ass developers and entrepreneurs come into contact with each-other and generate a bad-ass idea, they offer tokens for new cryptocurrency to gather enough funding so that they can convert their idea into reality. The significant difference between ICOs and IPOs is that, when you invest, you get tokens of that new cryptocurrency which may get listed on the exchanges once the idea has been developed.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. An ICO, or Initial Coin Offering, is a raising money battle by a digital currency venture where they offer their coins/tokens in return for cash (regularly in BitCoin, Ether, Litecoin etc...). This cash is later used to finance the improvement of the venture. The motivator for the financial specialists is that, evidently, the cost for the tokens will be worth endless supply of the task and along these lines speculators will make a benefit.

What is ICO? ICO Extension of Initial Coin Offering. Initial means the earliest, Coin means digital token / coin and Offering means bidding, when interpreted in its entirety means the earliest coin offerings before being launched into the free market. ICO is usually offered by the developers where their goal is to raise funds to develop the projects they do in this case is a digital coin. They need funds to maximize the projects they undertake to quickly develop and can be quickly completed. For developers they will get funding to accelerate the projects they develop so that they can be enjoyed by many people. For investors will get a token or coin which later coin can be traded freely in the market exchangers. The advantage for investors who follow ICO before the coin is launched to the free market is the price given will be cheaper. And usually when the coin is launched the price will jump up to more than 5x the price of ICO. This is what makes investors enjoy this ICO.

Think of them as IPOs, but the founders raise money using popular cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, litecoin and most popularly, Ethereum, instead of fiat currencies. In return for your investment, you get the ICO's proprietary cryptocurrency. The investments work pretty much like shares, which in most cases don't have voting rights. As the company grows, the value of your crypto grows. You can either hold or cash out for fiat or other mainstream cryptocurrencies.

It really depends on the ICO.
Some coins have intrinsic value, such as ETH which is required to be spent by any developers who want to use the Ethereum blockchain.
Others such as E4ROW are written into a smart contract that will pay the coin holders dividends (in ETH) based on how well the products produced by the E4ROW team are performing.
BAT has another model where the coin is spent by the consumer in order to customize their advert experience and by publishers in order to target their desired audience.
The value of other coins seem to be based purely on the speculation that there will be increased demand for them from others in the future which will drive the price up. Might want to be wary of those ones :-)

I think ICOs are a bit more like "heavily discounted vouchers" that may be redeeemed against future blockchain infrastructure (with risk) and/or might have future intrinsic value where they can be spent as a form of currency.
To a significant extent, network effects drive the value of the coins plus the utility of the related blockchain infrastructure, where as more people provide/use the infrastructure (mining pools / nodes) and as more people hold coins, the probable future value increases.
All of this drives bubble behaviour and attracts scam artists as well as genuine visionary technologists. Money can be made in bubbles but highly volatile currencies must be considered as high risk.

ICO is the time to sell coins from companies initial Coin Offering is a program as an opportunity to buy tokens on projects in blockchain ecosystems through crowdfunding. Supporters and investors buy project tokens and can operate commercially with tokens purchased according to lists on different platforms. The ICO is intended as an aid to the realization of the project and for the need for temporary costs because there has been no capital turnover. ICO will also be used to improve international business and build teams well.

I do not like icos and this position is with me for so long time, ICOs liek programs for getting money for projects are too inreliable and dangerous from the side of possible losses and it is very annoying and disappointing things. I prefer buying crypto currencies more than ICOs so much.

In my view, the ICO is the process of producing a coded coin, or tokens, coin (which is like printing money), and sells these tokens to investors. . But it can be said that 90% of current ICO projects are scam or not worth

ICO - initial placement of coins. In other words, a new project wants to earn money for your business and produces their coin, which supported this project. At ICO price of the coin is lower than on the stock exchange, as there sells it to you the project itself, but in practice the price of the stock exchange very often drops sharply down after the end of ICO.

ICO is the crypto equivalent of an IPO on a traditional stock exchange.
Seems like this is the new way for companies to raise the funds they need to develop a project without all the red tape associated with the stock market.
Peronally I would not invest further in any new ICO, I have seen them all cheaper after the ICO finishes in the stage before the product launches. I think the ICO is a good time to research and get to know a company but for maximum value I would invest afterwards.

ICO or initial coin offering is the process in which a certain company is selling their cryptocurrency/tokens to investors to outsource fund for their project. Once the ICO is successful, token holders have the opportunity to sell their tokens at a good price or use them to which the token may serve them best.

And what is the ICO influence on coin prices ?
The influence on the ICO is from the total supply of coins. If the ICO price is high then the total supply of tokens is a little, so the more the total coins, the cheaper the price will be.

In a simple sentence, ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is an offering/ a selling of the coin/token in a new project. The team of the project will use the result of the token sale to finance the project then. You can know about the project in detail by reading a whitepaper from them. If the project is being a successful project, you will get a profit. But, if the project doesn't run well, just be patient because you will lose your money.

To best of my understanding, ico simply means initial coin offering. A token sold out at different stages with bonuses attached to it for early adopters and investors as a whole.

Hello, i'm new here and i would like to understand what is Initial Coin Offering. Why does it open and closes ? And what is it actually ? Thanks a lot if someone can help me. Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is an event where new and upcoming cryptocurrency (blockchain) project raise fund for their projects. At this stage, the coin is not yet know and not listed on any exchange yet, but investors can only buy from the developers of the project. After this stage according to their road map and white paper, it will now be available to the public.

This is an opportunity for beginners to get good tokens, which can become an ideal coin, after entering the stock exchange. But it is also a danger not to get anything. So many proposed ideas are just fiction or idiocy.

ICO is a method of raising money for a project, its full meaning is initial coin offering. As we have IPO (Initial Public Offering) in conventional business world, so we have ICO in blockchain business model. The notable difference among both is that it is only a fully established business that can sell IPO to the public but ICO is being done by a new blockchain startup with no any form of prior success.

The earliest coin offerings before being launched into the free market offered by developers to investors with the aim of raising funds to develop the projects they do in this case are digital coin. They need funds to make the project develope quickly and can be quickly completed.
