There might be different qualities of white  papers. Not sure, which ones you have already read. But in general it is one of the key sources to get more information about the planned project often combined with a roadmap to understand the overall planning of the team. So a "must have" before investing in a coin.

If they haven't put much care into the whitepaper, then they probably haven't put much care into the project. A poorly written whitepaper should be a big red flag.

[VanDerWaals]

What was confusing about it? I read some whitepaper, which was badly written, it looks like they was wtitten in five minuts, But I read whitepapers which was well-arranged and well written.

Well you should only invest in the ones you unterstand. There are a lot of spam ICOs, so watch out. Only Whitepapers and projects that make sense, are worth to invest in. So be careful and don't risk to much!

The quick glance of overview is enough to make pre-picture of project and if you find project to be unconvincing then reading whitepaper will add no good.
Alternatively only go for whitepapers of those companies which look promising. Their project will be more detailed and comprehensive in whitepaper.
We have lots of amateur writers giving services to write WP for $100-200, so you can imagine quality itself.

All whitepaper I have read so far is good, as always it should be good as investors will look into that.

What whitepaper you read that you think was very inaccurate? You can shares thoughts with us so that we can see if that is really an inaccurate.

Well, so it depends on the white papers. There are good realistic ones, but there are bad and unreal.

Whitepapers is full information about a coin and it's project.

[Schocksen]

I think a Whitepaper gives you some information how professionell a project is. Even if you do not unterstand it.

I have read some well-written whitepapers with clear content and full description of the project. Take a look at the 0x protocol whitepaper and at the Grid+ whitepaper. Even though they are very different, I think they both achieve the goal of presenting their projects. I tried to achieve a good result as a co-writer of the Auctus whitepaper mixing the concision of the 0x paper with a more detailed design as of the Grid+. Of course, the applications are very different from one another. Maybe you have come across some not so clear whitepapers, but it is very important to read through them before investing in a project.

Also, one advice: don't trust the whitepaper 100%. There may have some things written in there that are not reflected in the smart contracts code. It is very easy for someone to write a good whitepaper promising a lot of features that will never be implemented.

bulk of the white papers are just fluff .. nothing concrete and very broad.

Do you have any particular whitepaper in mind? Please cite some examples. I seen and read a few good ones and some badly written papers, It does not stop the owners raising money if the investors are Chinese.

[coastbank]

I generally love to read whitepapers. I think they are understandable. Purposes are enough to invest in or not. Some papers claim unreachable goals so you should pass them away.

[bucciarati]

Whitepaper is a trend but also a must so It only depends in quality of the draft: if low you can be suspicious and need to dig more deeper in team and project, if quality you can be a little more confident, but at the end is only marketing

[cynical]

White paper for ico's are essential, they are supposed to outline what the project is aiming to do. Some I have read have been a bit too technical for my level of crypto knowledge but all the same they are good to read and learn about a particular ico

I've also read white paper with a lot of errors. It was in english though but i suspected it was originally made in other language then translated to english so the translation was very poor. But grammatical errors are just minors it it is your point you have to understand the whole whitepaper. Their roadmap has to be understandable and clear regardless of some vocabulary errors or spellings but the context must be clear. 

[frowsiter]

If that's the case then you probably hit the bad or fishy type of ICO and read their whitepaper. If the ICO very serious about the project they are working on then they will have taken of care of these things in neat ways. Just imagine whitepaper is the first point where big investors will go and study it. So that needs to be very accurate and simplified for instance to have better understanding of what it would like be and where the investment will be going. Some of them are really like the way you have described here but they might be just noobs trying to create projects. So some may be just unprofessional buthe  one with serious business will always have the perfect quality.

Some of them are garbage and complete rubbish. And it looks like a 5 year old wrote the whitepaper. But most of the whitepapers looks professional and the roadmap of the project is clear and fully explained. You have to be very careful on whitepaper that are very confusing or inaccurate because the only intention is to really scam investors. However, if you find inaccurate things then you can directly ask the dev team in one of their communication channels.

[dewanaga]

whitepaper is very important to know how the project will actually be done or just nonsense
and also whiteaper is a benchmark where we can know the information of a project
