ICO is new way to get Free money?

[NJB18]

ICO is like the crypto version of IPO. Developers can get tons of dollars but they are going to use it in delivering their projects based on their White Papers are expected in their Roadmaps. While I agree that some are just using this to get money without delivering what they promised but still many of these projects especially the news ones are working on it.

I do not know why! I only think that Ico project is a more modern Ponzi method right now. 
How about you, YES OR NOR ?   

NO

bounty is the way to get free money

[skullsandbones]

You can't get free money from ICO!

Only from Airdrop and Bounty Campaigns.

[fatenmo]

Joining bounty programs and collecting airdrops from ICOs give you  free tokens.

[Bambinoe]

I think its Airdrops you get free money from and not ICO's.

[cryptochr]

You shouldn't expect free money from ICO's, expect Profit!

Definitely yes. It has actually turned hard working people with no capital to real and big time investors. I am a witness

[Blondy12]

though there are lots of fake or scam bounty (ICO) as i've heard and read in the forum but there are lots also that are legit. i am lucky enough that never did i joined a scam bounty (ICO). but i have a friend who did. be extra careful not to be one.

Some ICO are excellent projects with a good and experienced team. Such ICO bring a good income, but it is very difficult to find such projects.
The remaining ICO are scam. Find a good project is very difficult.

There are scam ICO's and legit ICO's.
It is hard to see which one is legit and which one is scam but there are certain indicators such as - fake team members, shitty unrealistic project, unanswered questions and so on.
Do a lot of research before investing in ICO.

While there are continuous numbers of nefarious ICO's "launching" every week, luckily they are relatively easy to spot.  Alternately, the ICO's that generally float to the top and become well known (and well funded), are also relatively easy to spot as well.

We use a system at https://icosource.io called "Minimum Viable Offering", in which any project on our site to be listed must:

1.  Display the members of their team on their homepage
2.  Contact us via an email which includes the project url.
3.  Have both Facebook and Twitter pages for their project.
4.  Have a minimum of two of:  Slack, Telegram, Reddit, BitcoinTalk, Discord, Github and Medium.
5.  Must have a whitepaper.
6.  Their logo must be of a high enough quality to portray a professional project.


We're asking for suggestions on other checks we can include at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2561039.new#new.  We're interested in all points of view and ideas surrounding ways to reduce contact between scam ICO's and users, and would appreciate your contribution to the conversation!

Only from Airdrop and Bounty Campaigns to get your free tokens, but minimum work is needed 

[nick_nick]

It's not, this is a form by which the particular project get its initial circulation of tokens. Also it is an way to provide with the trading possibilities, once the tokens hit the exchanges for inflow and outflow of tokens certain volume is required. For the same ico has been used and this too helps in promoting the projects.

Well said. this is the real meaning of ICO, its not a money making venture as you think

[husdemba]

Thanks to ICO, everyone makes free money. Everyone is participating in bounty campaigns with fake accounts.
This isn't nice and must be take precautions.

[pedropendukot]

95% of ICOs today are being ran by the greedy people,who will steal your money but not all of them,even the high rating ICOs failed at the end so i prefer not joining any ICO.

Invest in ICO projects need the money that it is not a pity to lose. Finding a good ICO is the most difficult task. And this task requires a very high cost of patience and time.

   Answer on question from creator of this thread is Yes and No. There is no
free money, for every thing you need to pay or do something. Probably he means
that investing in early stages with huge discounts can later be very profitable,
like x10 or x100 from your basic investment.
   New ICO`s have bounty campaigns, with little work you can earn tokens and
later to sell them and have some "free money", or it is better to say high profit
without huge work.

A large portion of the ICO project is indeed a modern ponzi scheme, but some ICO projects do have value, so choose a reliable ICO project.

I talked about investing in ICO. But you mean bounty compaing, which are certainly part of the ICO projects. You are also right.

Yes but i think it is easy to get money from airdrop, airdrop can give free coin but you need to choose very well because not all of them have value coin. So that be careful of it.
