If you plan on asking a question or raising a concern in the ANN, you better have read the whitepaper first. And often a whitepaper is useful not for what it says, but for what it is missing.

Also sometimes it is useful to download the whitepaper and look at its file properties and meta data. Maybe it shows info that wasn't intended to be shown..such as peculiar dates or author names or old filenames or anything that helps you learn more than you are being shown elsewhere..

A whitepaper can be well written and infused with brilliant concept and ideas, yet the project is doomed to fail and you can see some project with sketchy or no whitepapers at all yet the project is a bang. Scammers know that a good whitepaper is required, so they pay professionals to write one for them, without a reflection of those stuff in their actual implementation. So how do you find a middle road? Having the best of minds on a project team, a brilliant idea and well written whitepaper gives investors a rest of mind, but with all this if your project will not be used in the real world and gain traction and adoption it is just a fruitless effort. So there are a lot of dynamics involved in all of this. You will learn what works by experience and observation.

White paper is one of the important porfolio that need to be provide by ico developers in which they indicate all the necessary details about their business strategy, developement plans and team background that will show how legitimate and credible they are.

however if you try to look at it, most of white paper details are to complex that makes them really confusing.Those docs fucos on technical information in which only few % of people will able to understand. They supposed to make the project approachable, simple legit and credible cause people buy and lend there trust on the things they understand.

Whitepapers are extremely important as the give the overall concept of what the token / coin will do. A lot of the companies are just stating their ideology and after the ICO they are able to move forward.

A poor whitepaper is something that should send warning signals. But there are other things you should look into such as:-

Firstly the most important aspect is if they coin / token makes sense. If the coin is not needed and they have simply added it to have the ability to raise an ICO, then eventually the project will collapse.

Once you have looked into this, the team, whitepaper and the number chunching to make sure it makes sense.

Lastly their marketing. Are they strong? communicating their concept and idea?

For sure, without a descent whitepaper, you cannot expect anything. I believe that companies are becoming better, because they learn from others.

hey guys,

i need your help (as all the others need). what are the key things that i have to look for in a whitepaper? what are the tips?

i need the key points that will help me understand that i am not participating in a scam ICO.

Whitepapers are one of the most important things about a project. You could have an idea about any project after have a look, but you should definitely understand all of the points clearly if it is a well-written whitepaper. A good whitepaper mostly means a good project.

[CoinSavvy]

What is your opinion of whitepapers you read.
I'm asking because I read few and was very inaccurate, very confusing.
Please let me know your opinion, thank you.

It depends on the quality of white papers written. Even though the white papers should present the clear and understandable information about an ICO product to potential fundraisers, sometimes it is difficult to understand the essence described in such white papers. Besides, the well-written white papers should be structured and it is highly recommended to include points, such as Investor Summary, Overall Review, Risk Factors, Business Plan, Issue and Other. Otherwise, you will have these feelings about ICO white papers in general.

sometime i read whitepaper only to see terms of the ICO, and not about the project because it already described in ANN, look the T&C is good to do before we invest in something

But a lot of project especially to the developers can't write a whitepaper in a good structure, Because a lot of the just contain bunch of the senseless information and they are not structuring.
There is a methodology to write a good whitepaper but a lot of them are missing it.

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.

Whitepaper serves as an outlet for businesses for people to let know what their project is all about. For me reading whitepaper before setting to support a specific ICO is one of the best ways for us to ensure the success of the specific project. It could also be a way for a specific ICO project for them to disseminate information about the whole project for people to support their ICO in the first place.

i only care about the token is useful or not.

so many whitepaper can't say their token's application. i am so worry about this.

it means even the project owner can't say useful of token .but people still join ICO. And the token price UP!

This is UNBELIEVABLE.

that's right, the whitepaper is important not only for the investors but also for the devs themselves, the process of writing a white paper is a test and summary for the team, if the white paper is messy and illogical， then the team need to rethink of the project, and the investor can adjust their portofolio

[tulio]

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

Well, in my opinion, the quality of a whitepaper reflects the team's potential. I have read some great whitepapers I can point out the main reasons why they catch my attention (or not):

Bancor: Very well organized and concise, explaining in details their price discovery method, that is central to the protocol.
Civic: Looks like it was written by a professional journalist or writer. It looks amazing, although personally, I prefer black and white whitepapers since it is better to read as well to print and highlights some sentences.
BlackmoonCrypto: They have a great disclaimer at the beginning, compare competitors, use colors, graphics, and images just when needed, they point out in details their team, advisors, and partners, making it clear why each of them is important to the project. Their use of proceeds section details their projections year by year.
Omega One: One of the most detailed whitepapers I have ever seen. Their approach of adding team and partners at the beginning creates a credibility atmosphere since you start reading. They use great diagrams to help to explain their solution, turning it simple even for who lack in knowledge in their field.

One thing that I personally think that is important is the language used through the whitepaper. It must be simple to everyone to understand, even those outside of the solution's industry. However, it cannot be superficial, it must contain all details needed to understand the project as well as to create such a confidence level that enables people to become a backer.

whitepaper is important. we can see are dev serious with project by read whitepaper

[MV7]

A poorly written White Paper should raise red flags, but a well-written one shouldn't necessarily make you invest in a project either. It's fairly easy for anyone proficient in English to write something and make it sound good. I generally look at the White Paper, team, and amount of community members before investing in anything

[cryptonianz]

What I always look into a Whitepaper is the concept as well as if the project is feasible with the budget they are looking to receive!

[Big Data Coin]

The most important item should be a clear execution plan.
ICO or not ICO, when or until when...
These stuffs make people feel much safer when they analyse the value of a new product.
Too many innovative products without exact execution in our market!

i have read some whitepapers especialy if the details of their ann thread lacks details. in my opinion, some white paper are lacking also, some are well organized and very detailed but some are very technical that im having hard time to understand.
