ICO without Slack?

[hdee]

My phone is lighting up with slack notifications from scammers. Seems like every ICO is unable to close the vulnerability.

What are your thoughts on running an ICO and simply skipping slack as a social channel? Do people even care about slack when there's bitcointalk, telegram, discord, etc.?

IMO, slack is just a channel for communication. Since there are many scams in slack, it will be better for ICO to do without slack.

More and more dev teams are refusing slack during ico time ,that's because too many scams happened through slack in their icos period.

There are ICO's as of now is skipping slack on terms of their communication with the community or investors because of the recent happening on scamming because of those phishing links posted by them causes for people to get hacked or scammed on the funds supposed to be putted on the project which do really sucks.For now most owners do aware on this stuff and now they are starting to avoid slack and now using other way on communication.

Glad to hear it. I've been following projects on slack and telegram as each team has a different preference for where they make announcements. Enigma's seemed like a solid approach after their hack: one telegram channel for announcements only and a second for general chatter

I think it's important, ignoring questions from potential investors is never a good thing. Although if they have other ways of communicating i guess it's fine.

I think is is better to have a instant communication platform without scamers, slack is a good platform, but I think some updates are needed to stop the scamers, and I think meybe telegram is a good choice.

It's a good idea to look carefully at the project you intend to invest in, and join their media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Slack, Telegram...) to capture the news from the project everyday.

Slack supposedly has major security problems, any method of communication will be fine, specially telegram and maybe discord.

I have seen many ICOs turning back on Slack and using Discord instead. It's a way better in terms of communication, you have every project easily organized in your 1 account (not like in Slack, where you have single slack subdomain with separated account for every project).

[caeles]

Slack is a good way of communicating people in an ICO but you are right slack are vulnerable to scammers but I think they are using slack because it is the easiest and fastest way of communicating. Also, I think they don't like other sites for communicating, I don't know the reason but as I observed a lot of ICOs used slack for communications.

what kind of security does discord provide over slack?

[Hypercube]

Slack specifically stated that it hasn't been designed with the concept of inviting untrusted members into channels. I do think that's a pretty lame excuse and the requirements to have it working would not be much: it's not even possible to disable Slackbot or some commands, like the remind one that is the main thing scammers are using.

Good question. What are differences?

[ostsee77]

slack is full scam. it brings no more fun. ico without slack is better. you get 10-20 wrong news 
there must be something better come . telegram and maybe discord is a good alternative

Because Discord has been designed for gamers which is hosting as we probably all know toxic elements, basic safeguards have been put in place to prevent people from spamming or pretend to be anyone else. Their API is also good and complete. Slack is for trusted members and they are not responsive and willing to change as a few basic feature requests on their twitter that got dismissed demonstrate.

[micafund]

Yeah so there's many project switching to Telegram.
Slack is too spammy now

ico without slack i guess not a problem. all ico notices can be submitted via ANN thread or their social media. because it will be difficult for us to install the app just for their ico notice

what you experience is the same as what I feel due to interference from various slack.
my phone is becoming hot and very slow, hopefully new projects are able to solve this problem.

and for a scam activity i think you should read carefully the text
