Nice and informative thread!

Will keep everything said here in mind as we are launching our ICO soon.

BAT ICO. everything is only promise and we still dont see any product for testing!

My experience on ETT and SONM is pretty worse I lose some capital on these ICO and it's totally a waste of time for spending some bucks on this project. And I think I will never ever do tradeds on this coin again since I think the dev of this tokens are selfish and no plan to give a good credits to his investors.

This year everyone want to launch ICO, so we must be accurate with the investings.

Yes that true! The hype is getting bigger!

But lets stay on topic and provide points to the starting list! Thx

One of many reasons why an ICO can be unsuccessful is the team behind the ICO, the product is not very clear for the audience and people don't know what are they investing in, then it can be the management, poor managing, not correct about the investments amount at a specific period of time etc etc. If the product is too good to be true then don't expect much supporters.

Sad to hear for your loss and i did lose money on joining on ICO, i didnt remember which coin since there are lots of project i did join and some of them do fail and some comes success.This is why im on break even side i guess. Before investing on an ICO i do usually see first if the developers are active on the community and always giving updates regarding  on their project and mostly i do engage to those who have real life products.

The genius of ETH and other ICOs is it can raise millions of dollars without issuing stocks. Basically a way of raising money without pesky shareholders. You own the company 100 percent and owe nobody. Meanwhile the token holder owns something that is the equivalent of "that's not worth the paper it's printed on".

Once you have received the money you can pursue any agenda you're interested in. With no actual shareholders to be accountable to or any regulation there is no one to stop you.

Nice thread, I hope that it can help newbies to avoid scams!

If so I suggest you start chaining your signature... If you are honest with that!

Its something basic, but I will add it nevertheless:

- List all your projects that you have delivered previously, if any.

My experience in following the unsuccessful ico, is very disappointing because it's not just a week or two weeks I follow it, but from the beginning before the preico I've followed, almost 1 to 2 months, such as enigma project, which finally hacked by hackers , there is also equi that no investors want to invest, so my advice before going to follow a project, it must first analyze the project carefully

So you are observing chosen icos where you will invest in. Did you ever run your own ico?

[crockus22]

Make sure your project is unique not just a copy paste project, and one of the concentrations of investors is an exchange that will list your coin, it will be very interesting for investors if you can show documents or some evidence that your coin will be listed on major exchange immediately after the ICO finish.

90% of the icos out there won't satisfy those requirements...

[w5pn73]

Yeah.. feels like 99% of the ico's can't, don't or won't deliver.
Why would they.. they can get a new, bigger, easier bag of money for setting up the next ico and doing it all over again.
