How to find out a legit ICO?

[dizzy1996]

This is quite easy, see at the moment there are many services that review ico projects and do their full technical analysis, also on these services there is information about the legality of the project, analysis of its technical documentation and much more

[Jaywahin]

when you ask the developers for information about themselves or the project and they won't be open, that is a sign of a scam.  But If You want to save yourself from scam Then I Will recommend to check SciDex Protocol. The SciDex protocol sets out to unlock smart contracts for businesses. It starts by enabling the translation of written contracts to smart contracts and ascends the complexity chart by adding additional trusted, secured and proven layers.

I think if you do not have experience then it will be very difficult for you to find good ico projects that will definitely bring you profit.

[Valzador]

Suppose if there are a number of ICOs started for different coins by anonymous developers then how can we find that which one the legit ICO and which one is scam ICO?

I will not entrust my money to developers who do not have a genuine identity.
only a fool wants to do that because you don't know where your money is being transferred and who is responsible in the future if something happens to your money.

Study their whitepaper, look at the activity in social networks,what  people recomendation and thinking   about the project, what job they have already done and what else needs to be done,they have good ideas,regular news,good team and methods for realizing the goals for a successful project.

Research. Research and a bit of luck.

While you can take a hint on what ICO promises looking at their whitepaper, websites and history.
Over-emphasis on the rewards or things that sound too good to be true.
Always be skeptical about profiles that have managed to be active without any recommendations from anyone.

There's no sure way of doing this. But we can always play safe.

I think it's very difficult. and it makes no sense to compare two similar projects. because they will be the same and everyone will claim that he is real. look for one where there is no doubt. otherwise, you will spend a lot of your time

Yeah, that's good. Always pay more attention mate. Do research and a further readings also don't just rely on a single reference, much better to use a lot of references like reddit, telegram and also here in bitcointalk. And also, check the ratings of the ICO if it is going to be good or bad. Understand their whitepaper if their ideas will surely give a lot of contributions in the near future.

with the increasingly high number of ICO. Indeed now quite difficult to find ICO are legit. Moreover, now also the greater number of ICO that scam. If I would pick the ICO project has indeed softcap only.

[oemar bakrie]

it's a little difficult we know that Ico is the best and responsible..
just by looking for info on the development of Ico itself by following all the official programs offered at Ico and knowing how the team will work in the future..

[Ducnguyen03]

To find out a legit ICO is not easy,you have to research carefully about project on ICO rating website that you trust, research about members of team,roadmap,whitepaper are clear or not....

To be honest, it's quite easy. You can easily detect is the team of the project serious or not about the project. I mean, when you want to check is the ICO legit or not, check the website, whitepaper, the team and how active the telegram group. Like how fast they answer the question from the community and the investor. Check the linkendin profile for each team, check the photos too.

open ICO sales are also a great value for the project, rather than sales that are not published, it makes investors who join there become uncomfortable, and a lack of trust can also occur there

[Banulit]

You can find out the great ICO and legit if they have a good manager and team and it has a website to check if legit or not.

[itasannah]

we can recognize from the team that handles it. if the team is trusted and also good, then it's a good thing for a project. reading the whitepaper is also important because in it we can see the important information about the project. we can see the supply of tokens and the team that handles.

[camelson]

It is very difficult to find an ICO which has the potential and above all not a scam. Look for the whitepaper, idea of the project, teams specialties. But these things can not guarantee that ICO is legit. I personally recommend  you not to invest in ICO and buy the tokens when they are listed on a well known exchange.   

[tinystone26]

It's not that easy to trust some ICO's even they have a lot of whitepapers sometimes they are still the same as a scammers that will surely make your investments lose that's why it is better to stick to a good bounty manager that really choose a good ICO that are not gonna scam our investments and that's what I'm doing now to prevent from losing any of my money that I want to invest in any ICO's.

[kumar jabodah]

We should look carefully at every ICO that we will join. And one of the ways to know if an ICO is legit is transparency. There should be pictures of the founders admin and their events.

And of course there is a real product available to people!

[vebby]

current ICO project is indeed more and more. and thus, with increasingly difficult also found legit ICO. because the competition is getting tougher. many of the ICO that scam. my simple way, just look at the sales only. If indeed the softcap, then I dare to follow.
