Hi,
I'm starting to study ICO models, why some are a total success, why others fail, the correlation between price and what is happening irl with the token developpement, also I would like to determinate all the important points to study before investing into an ICO. ( or an altcoins more generaly).
My objective is to release a "whitepaper" about that.
I found some points to develop in different chapters
- INTRO
Definition,functionnement, advantages, inconvenients, history, evolution
- ICO
Ico date, duration, one or more rounds
Amount raised, token distribution
On which platform : eth, waves, others ?
Fund storage : one escrow, multi sig, other system ?
- TOKEN
Max supply
% premine
pos, pow (is there any ICO token we can mine
![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
? ), or other
token price, ico bonus etc
token price once it hits an exchange
- DEVELOPEMENT
Tech, innovation, protocol upgrade ?
products, application domain, real usecases
developement team, eventual partnership
funds distribution : % in developement % in marketing etc
roadmap
- VISIBILITY
exchanges
social networks
community
To resume, I want to include in this document all the factors which are important in an ICO and the token developement. All you have to be aware before investing, and eventually detect if this ICO is good, or not. If you have something to add or if I forget something, feel free to post. Thanks !
