What are the 3 thing you look for in an ICO?

[suryogandul]

3 things in my mind before choosing an ico:
- the concept offered
- the background of the developers and team
- whitepaper and road map

I always spend a long time to read and understand the whitepaper. Reading the background of his team is a pleasure in my self. everyone who supports the project, and profit sharing that they are offered

The three things i look for in an ICO is that they can manage all the things that are needed in creating a project . I also look for  the things that they solve the problems that may occur as soon as possible. An ICO requires participants and investors to make the project successful but it depends the way things works. I look for an ICO that can make the best communication to all the users and participants that may ask somethings about their project or their given ANN thread. I look for a successful ICO that not only reach its goal but also push the limits to become the most successful ICO that exist.

All of your answers makes sense but it is much better if you're going to do your own surveys and studies on your perspective ICO. Always remember to be safe because we're all here to earn and not to be scammed.

[Spoetnik]

The ICO is a scam by design..
Until you launch one or buy them for profit.
It's like saying some pyramid schemes are legit..

[irmasany]

everything you say, is very much related to choice.
to choose an ico you have to do that research is paramount.

[BartS]

As the question reads.  For me:

-  The concept/vision - is it innovative?  does it solve a real world problem?  is the problem it solves something I am interested in?
-  The team - Size and experience.
-  How the coin relates to the concept.  Is the coin a key part of the platform?  Are other payment methods available to users, etc.

All of those are important, the first thing is to look at the white paper, many times the white paper is very short or not detailed enough if they cannot bother to make a decent white paper then, How we can expect that they are going to develop a successful project? Looking at the devs is important but now many icos are just bringing some people to be the image of the ico even if they are not going to be an essential part of the team so you need to be careful with that.

I would check the following

- Is there a product, or at least a whitepaper? Does it make sense to use blockchain or coin?
- Who are the investor and advisor?
- Who is the team and do they have proven track record in the area.
- How big is the market? What's the reaction in slack /social channels

[Haesoo]

I always check and analyze these three.

1. White paper and road map - truly I'm lazy reading this but of course I wanna know if its have a potential and not scam
2. The team - if its well known or credible when it come to this field.
3. Bounty allocation - how much percent will be able to distribute to the participants and the investors.

Whitepaper and team
Maketcap and distribution
Value of market they're entering

Check out Real ICO..
The crowdfunded real estate market will be worth over 300 billion in a few years according to forbes

Idea - If idea is not good don't even start crowdfunding. Idea sell the product.
Innovation - Is it new thing or did somebody else do it before? Innovation is important. Either make a new thing or make better product for current thing.
Team - They must be important people in their area. They need to follow roadmap and don't give promises that they can't make that happen.

[chilly9876]

Also see if they have a working product or prototype.
Look for competitors, their progress and current value

[chilly9876]

Also join their slack and telegram channels, see how many people have joined and follow the updates.

If the ICO offers a innovative technology, getting quite a lot of positive attention most especially on social media and lastly there is an overwhelming support from the crypto community as a whole.

Cross check against my own work experience, understanding of people and what the ICO is trying to solve.

A lot of ICOs pump out a lot of theory without regard of regulation, or think that their project is so brilliant that they can capture their market within a few short years.

Most of them are probably gonna burn through all the funds raised before achieving market acceptance.

ICO's are all about profit, profit for the creators and profit for the investors, there is hardly any projects out there that will offer you anything genuine, let-alone something tangible.

Most coins out there are marketing their coins on superficial promises, and most will fall short of anything near that's promised, I fully trust the coins who have shown over years of dedication to their infrastructure, but most of us have become millionaires at this point.

This is a good thread for ideas on how to avoid scams. There is an underlying undertone to every digital currency ICO or whatever.. profit

[LakeBTC]

Bull fucking shit.
All you guys "look for" is what is going to give you profit.
..then
You show up here posting idiotic garbage like this.

You all also posted attributes that are easily faked gamed or scammed up hard.
In other words even if you were sincere your comments are fucking stupid.

What about a project that's already at a mature developmental stage? That is not easily faked.

[Jacko234]

which I look for in ICO:
1.products in the project, whether the products on the ICO serve in the market.
2.vision of the project, all must be realistic and convincing the project in the future.
3.tim, because the team plays an important role for the sustainability of the ICO.

I personally participate in ICO in signature companies, and not as an investor. When choosing a campaign project, I first of all look at what sectors invest in money, where the coins will be created and therefore the future will be there. Then, of course, I pay attention to the team that is behind this project. However, everything here can hardly be calculated. It is all relatively and in part partly necessary to rely on intuition.

[stupid_seb]

I just look for 1 thing:
Spoetnik's posts on the official coin ICO thread.

It is better than all the dumps, scams or pumps.
