I would like to see a little breakdown of the Opair ICO. this was an obvious scam but people still invested and let SebastianJu release funds from escrow.

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Why do people let scam developers get away with it?.. Like if I were a victim of a scam ICO, I would rally up people to fight a good cause. Angry

This ICO coin thing is just a new financial innovation just like the bad scryptcoins in late 2013 early 2014. There was lots of easy money to be made back then by just creating a coin and just trying to get it to a market to sell your premine.

ICO coins are just a new way of doing this.

Yes, and sad on whats happening right now though there are ICO's that good enough most i've seen is becoming scam after they release. Only the developers become rich and after they released, after several weeks or months, devs are gone.

Look into LBRY use of bought high profile nics for their Team members (OP page creator) to give themselves credibility.
There was mention if I remember correctly in my research that the person in connection to/with LBRY
who bought a high profile NIC had also bought a few more, but researched no further as I had enough
already for me to make my decision.
I presume other coins/projects might have also done this.

Premine like ether (72 million coins) and just pull off one of the biggest scams on the plannet.  Poor souls who bought... Im sorry.. IM sooooooo sorry......

Ether deserves a separate post in itself. Keep in mind this is specific to the mini-ICO's that raise 200-600 BTC's and not the large ones.

What would be a way that the community could come up with, and adhere to a process that investors can follow and issuers can follow to show the veracity of thier intentions?

I dont think ICOs as a whole are bad, but you bring up some great points, that people who are not tech savvy (in some cases not biz or socially savvy) but may have an interest in cryptociurrencies just would not know. to be contrarian, what makes a high quality ICO? so investors could be able to check boxes as a preliminary step and then use thier own judgement after they have gone through a process.

We have an industry that is built off scamming. We need to talk about these issues and fore-go short term greed for long term goals.
It is only when that occurs that crypto can really change the world. A lot of people don't realize Satoshi didn't release his code to a bunch of traders looking to pump and dump. It was released to a think-tank capable of nurturing it for 3, maybe four years before it attained scale. That kind of leadership and patience is non existent in crypto, ever since.

I don't know of the ICO aspect but RhinoCoin was pretty f'n crazy.  You might want to look into it because I remember many days where it had a trading volume in the millions of dollars which at the time would have meant something like every coin in existence being traded in a 24 hr period or something ridiculous.  Of course it all happened on some chinese exchange I'd never heard of before.  I just remember seeing rhinocoin in the top 5 or 10 coins for trade volume every day on coinmarketcap and thinking really? a fucking rhinocoin?

Hi there, indeed stumbled upon your thread although I actually know you from another.

I definitely feel for the thousands of people who continue to be duped by ICO - especially those who buy-in in good faith, absolutely thinking that they're doing something useful for a legitimate cause.

Of course, greed is the driving force behind many (who are perfectly aware of the scam) who as mentioned believe they can dump faster than the others. They regularly make profit from this slightly more sophisticated form of HYIP.

Would be very interested to read more on your investigative findings - and would love to be part of it once I get my head properly wrapped up around crypto. Am a former journalist myself more used to dirty work on the ground. Perhaps some day soon, there could be a 3rd party doing due diligence for all new ICOs and help potential investors gauge the soundness of their business plans.

This is pretty sad so many people that try to do this and steal the bitcoin out of other users pockets. For their greed that leads them to scam others and they get away with it once they do it again and again and more and more. Little to no recourse for their actions so they habe no fear.

This is such an amazing post, I'm definitely linking back to it on my Steemit and YouTube channels Smiley Worth a solid laugh, but also a serious problem as a lot of newbie investors are dumping a lot of money into ICOs that ultimately fail. It's the internet dot-com bubble all over again, but this might be more short lived. It's fascinating seeing stuff like Eroscoin and similar, just absolute shitcoins. Sorry for renewing the topic, but it's funny how even months later this is still as relevant as ever before, with a couple coming out each week. It seems like some have fake exchanges too!

Definitely agree with OP. I'm new to crypto world but from my whatever research I was able to do since couple of weeks, all I can say is that we have to do a lot research in not only the project but also the team behind it.
