90 percent of them are designed to make the devs as much money with as little development as possible.
Just my honest opinion.

Corruption is part of the culture of many countries.  Therefore, you should check the corruption ranking of countries:

https://www.transparency.org/news/feature/corruption_perceptions_index_2016

If the ICO is from a country with lots of corruption, then you know you're taking a higher risk.  This is because the team probably has less of an issue with exaggerating, lying or cheating, because these things are more ingrained in their country's culture.

It's more than ninety percent. Some experts would say 99%.

Ask yourself, how many of these projects have delivered a working product, with at least 1 million users?

No such projects have delivered a working product with 1 million users that ever existed. Most ICO today are design to make developers rich. They are only good on enticing investors with their product at the start. But once they collected large amount of money they discontinue developing and improving their product.

Yes I agree to you that some dev of the coins are just wanted to become rich through ICO and they didn't have a plan to make their project develop after they raised their wanted amount of money but there are also a dev that wanted to make their project become helpful for everyone. It is better to research first for the project of the coin in the future and also it's roadmap and uses of the coin.

The only way to know a scam-free ICO is to lurk more, see the different projects and learn which types succeed in the end. Recommendations from users are better than nothing, but how do you know that they are not duped too.

Yeah that's true! you can never found out if that ICO is a scam or not in the first place, just be very careful and do research first of who is the man and team behind that ICO.

You can, by observing the whole team behind the project, seeing whether they're trustworthy or not, you can minimze the chance of getting scammed. many people are throwing money to investment without even analyzing who's behind every of the projects and that's really a bad mistakes.
eth smart contract also works like escrow if you are interested to invest.

Make sure the team has demonstrable software to prove that they can actually develop.

Most ICOs have nothing to show in this regard.  Some have code at Github but it's meaningless if you cannot run the software to see how good or useful it is.

If they cannot prove that they can develop software, then the team members' fancy titles, bios or CVs are meaningless at best, fraudulent at worst.




I really agree with you. most of ico is nonsense. not proving that they can develop. and need to be careful to choose ico.

yes it is true that many ICO are deceptive and unhealthy.
everyone can recommend to you. but you are the determinant of that choice.

I just want to convey, before you dive for investment. you should study and observe about ico beam.

before you get stuck at a loss.

It is a very interesting market, as a newbie it is very discouraging when people are saying there are a lot of scams, how do you decide which is a good coin / token and which is a bad one?


Anyone got 5 solid tips to look for?
