[VTS]

Thanks VTS, you give some information for our about how to successfully in ICO. I often join in ICO but I never make list  about it. I hope your information give me more successfully in ICO

You are very welcome!

Make sure your website is secure, i.e don't get 'hacked', if you are looking for people to send you ETH or BTC make sure your address doesn't change on your homepage.

Are you suggesting to run second server to verify your page hasn't changed?

Can the page not be signed using BTC/ETH address so reader can verify it's unique?

I am very curious on the best solution to make sure you site is not changed. This probleem is bigger than just ICOs

You could probably write a script that runs from you home machine that looks for the html tag that contains your ETH address, if it changes then get the script to email you or alert you in some fashion.

That's a good approach, we use a similar system at www.witcoin.io. I also recommend separate your ICO logic in another server and isolate your web server. Limit your server access and configure access notifications. Also remember to update your software (firewall, web server, CMS and plugins) to the latest versions.

Thanks you

Like any business if the marketing isn't there or fails to get people's attention your done. It doesn't matter how good a project is if you don't try to sell it you're not going to go far or at least you won't get started very soon. Second the team has to be available enough to answer questions, be kind enough to people who are interested in their project. then the project has to be good and promissing. If you have a strong team with proffessionals, you know it is not a joke.

A well written white paper can be very helpful in ICOs. You need to show how your project is different and how it will solve problems in the market. If there is nothing unique that differentiates you from the rest, then it will be hard for someone to choose your project over another.

Also, market. Get word out about your project. The set ICO dates. The team members. Create a buzz around the project.

[gregory51gosh]

Most of the ICOs do not show the product, maybe that is the problem. There are different stages of projects, people invest on many stages, but have to know more.
For example:

- concept stage: only idea, paper works
- research stage: evaluating assumptions
- MVP stage: prototyping, working with initial customers
- startup stage: no profit but first customers
- seed stage: there is unstable profit but one can see scale
- VC stage: for scaling

It is how I define the projects. Our token loyalty is between research stage and MVP (we got engine, first R&D, but still introducing it to customers). Most of the projects of research and MVP stage are most suitable for ICOs because participants are often first customers of the platforms built (like our assumption for loyalty system users).

The successful ICO is one in which the coin is not a scam which is the initial requirement and the other is that the coin is at a sustainable not accelerating price when it ends which indicates that it will survive the market and the concept os good

[gewealiw]

One of numerous reasons why an ICO can be unsuccessful is the group behind the ICO, the item isn't clear for the gathering of people and individuals don't comprehend what are they putting resources into, at that point it can be the administration, poor overseeing, not right about the speculations sum at a particular timeframe and so forth and so on. On the off chance that the item is unrealistic at that point don't expect much supporters.

[efeyigit39]

crypto currencies are having a bad time at the market. so it is very difficult to find ico that could be successful. ico's project and white paper are very important. you can take advantage of social media to make your job easier.

[andrejfilipov876]

factors of failed project teaching. in my opinion, the team plays an important role. if the team is good, the project will be successful.

[heleng05]

I think the best projects must have a useful products and services in the industry to make the economy and community grow in the future. And I think also is having some good team to get a better chance of getting more investors to assist to invest to our created currency is a great big help for it.

I think that you need an excellent idea. Also you should have strong partnerships and quality team with advisors. Also you need first investments, usually you need at least 100k$

I am a bit confused about his/her post about it, it may seem like he is giving some advice and recommendation at the same time, providing links in which he/she advertises. Maybe you could transfer the post to bounties altcoins?

Steps to launching an ICO:

• Back-End Infrastructure
• Timeline / Roadmap
• Whitepaper
• Marketing / Advertisement
• Token countdown
• Escrow Management
• Technical Team
• Strong Advisory Board.

The preparation was quite important because right now I see that actually market interest or investors' interest in ico is decreasing in trust because there are too many unclear projects

I suggest you give up the ICO investment. The cryptocurrency market usually evolves very quickly. In the year of 2017, ICO invested a lot of money, but now the cryptocurrency enters 2019 and ICO begins to die.

ICO died in 2018, In 2018 only a few successful ICOs in a few hundred ICOs were created, A statistic is too modest. In 2019 I agree that ICO will not exist, people will only focus on altcoin and bitcoin
