Alot of ICOs around, which one is scam free?

[Ryan Dugan]

It can be very difficult to tell a scam from something that is not a scam.  Sometimes scams make you money but they eventually get abandoned so some people are left with useless coins and hopefully you have sold them by then. Look for advice Devs with a good plan that you can see they going places.
Try stay away from coins that make big promises they are usually just lying and telling you what you want to hear to please you.

There is no assurance that you will be in a project that is scam free because the risk in investing in ICO is that you are willing to take risk for the possible scams that you might experience so if you really want to take the risk and get a chance for possible big returns then you need to be brave and take all the risk but you can lessen the risk if you will study first.

[StevenRA]

That about sums it up pretty well. Lots of scams out there, of varying degrees. And plenty of ICOs that are not scams, but are just not very likely to ever succeed.

But I think if you look at site and whitepaper, you'll be able to spot the scams pretty quickly, and if you interact with the people running an ICO you should get a good idea of who is qualified to actually see their projects through to success.

this is like betting on stock and shares, but the difference is that there is no regulations and everyone can set up a ICO, not like the companies that have to qualify for a stock market listing.

Were you old enough to witness the Internet booming when it was just launched?

this is like that

crypto currency world, a world with no governors

Freedom at last.

I guess you just need to use your killer skills to see the future and invest wisely and clear minded of what you are riding!

If i we're you,you should do your own research and read carefully their whitepapers.we cannot easily tell of this one are scams.they can be not scams and not scam but for others this all scams and also it is just for start ups asking for huge funds that never been created but this is only speculation but be careful with those investmenrs and dont forget how to manage portfolio

I think Enjin is a good optrion right now. They have a user base of 8 million people and already have a successful running business for 9 years now.
Until something goes majorly wrong.. I think it'll do well. Plus we can be sure that it's not a scam.

Do your own research, look into the whitepaper, the team and how they are marketing. Also the most important thing is if they actually need a cryptocurrency. If they don't they are only doing it to raise money in an ICO.

I am waiting for Crowdholding. Great whitepaper, nice ideology and a strong team who is working organically to market their ICO. Launches on the 1st of November.

There seems to be another ico nearly every day. There more than likely is a scam element behind some but others could be promising. Like any investment there is risk to.
Sifting through them all takes time and alot of people are trying to make a quick buck so some of these icos prey on this.

[DanielBoaventura]

To asure is not a is scam I look for the following:

1. Solid team - I look their social media profiles, LinkedIn to see work experience and knowledge.
2. Strong idea - I see if the altcoin really have a sense to exist: if it's solving a real world problem.
3. Good WP - Easy understandable and that covers all the point of the altcoin.
4. Some work already done besides the ICO - Some development done that can be seen on Github.

Auctus.org is a good exemple that have all this points really well covered.

[Zandar]

Practicly any ICO looks legit untill the dev starts to dump the coins on an exchange server and deserts the entire project and nobody hears from it ever again. The bagholders will keep on repeating that the coin will be or is taken over by new devs, but even this will be more of a hearsay than actual truth. So in short any ICO is nothing more of a gamble since anyone in it is looking to make a buck, even the devs.

i just saw this one
lots of information like video and stuff, looks cool

There is why china want to ban ico because there are too many ico popping out of nowhere and they mainly just want to cash grab. That is why a lot of ico lose most of their token value within weeks or even days as they never deliver what they promise. So the real difficulties is how are we able to identify which project is for real or which is fake. You really have to do your own research and it is not just limited to bitcointalk. People can buy accounts and use these accounts to shill the projects so you never get the truth in bitcointalk.

with many ICO we should focus on which one is the best ICO

[Pasnik]

with many ICO we should focus on which one is the best ICO

Its hard to verify which one is legit and not scam ico. I agree we need to focus on which is better to invest in Ico that will give return of profit. So lets find and thoroughly check which is the best.

[yogesh01]

 investing in ICO projects is a high risk investment since you do not know whether an ICO project is a scam before it happened.
You should read their whitepapers and do your own researches. We can't tell which ones are scams.

[condura150]

Am actually new to cryptocurrency and I heard there are lot of scammers in crypto, I will like to hear from you guys, which of the ongoing ICO is legit and promising.

I can't really tell you which ICO is scam free or wether you should invest on this ICO or not. Do your research, it's always the best thing to do first. Read articles regarding the project, read their whitepapers, know what they do and why they do it. Investing is always a risk, you should just be cautious and don't invest your money on things you doubt or don't trust.

It is very hard to decide which one is legit and which one is scam . I have seen that even some of the experts here could not have decided and stepped into the scammed ICO. And there are some ICO - which people telling a scam turned out to be a good ICO. So for me it is really hard to understand as well.

[nicosey]

Look at CommerceBlock.  Team with strong experience.  Supported by BIP 175.

[e11io]

There are many, ICOs are just one more way to raise funds. There will always be scammers around, but as in any other industry.

We are building Experimental and raising a little round with a PRE-ICO at https://e11.io, experienced team, defined project and transparency.

[KKbit]

This is the one million dollar question that everyone would like to know the answer. I have seen it all even projects with "good" teams behind it turns out not to be a straight scam but they stall and stall the development and never show anything.
