How to choose the right ICO?

[investgeek]

Most ICO is required to see the team, usually go to linkin to verify relevant information, and then go to see their code history.

I don't think that you can see whole history on LinkedIn, + simply you can manipulate with information there.
What is important for me is to see their (ICO's) roadmap (history). As most of ICO's doesn't have that it's really hard to trust them.

You should check project progress. I like CyberMiles and you can check their Test-net to make decision

I think the important thing to do is to do some in-depth research on the ICO before buying and not just through some hear say rumors about them going to the moon.

My criteria of a good ICO is that:
1. It must be an existing business for a few years with a good model, and have even bigger feasible plans for the reason of doing an ICO.
2. Team composition and advisors are next that I look at, idea can be great but without a strong team, it wouldn't give me sufficient confidence that their plans can be executed without delays, that is if it's ever executed.
3. Next thing would be how unique their business plans are, I realised many ICOs are basically copying ideas from existing businesses, tweek abit and calling it theirs, hence it comes back to the point of why it must be a running business for at least a couple of years.

To end off, I would like to invite long term, serious investors to have a good look at DirectHome. We are an existing successful and profitable business looking to expand globally using our feasible business model, hence the ICO launch. Let me apologise in advance for only writing plain text in our announcement thread due to the restrictions of being a newbie 😓 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3167842.0

I consider there is no specific algorithm here. But there are certainly some rules .. for example, look at the team's professionalism, according to the very idea, according to plans for collecting money.

ico success is when we can get a job and do it well and get the gift of tokens we have to work well and be patient is the key to success.

My selection criteria are quite standard. There is enough information on the Internet about the criteria for choosing ICO. The main ones
1. Uniqueness, necessity of idea
2.Clear target
3.Scalability
4.Transparency, properly allocated budget
5.Concept
6.Team
7.Distribution of tokens
By these criteria I chose the project which I joined, Vreo.io They are doing dynamic in-game advertising and going to create marketplace for developers and advertisers. It will secured by blockchain technology. Developers of small games can attract investments and create high-quality products, for advertisers this project will be useful due to the expansion of advertising opportunities and selected target audience, and gamers will be able to receive quality products cheaper, besides they also receive income from the ads they watched, without interrupting the gameplay.  Here is their link at bitcointalk https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2886707
Another important criterion, I would add the active life of the project. I had the opportunity to compare projects and dynamic projects almost always came to success

In my opinion the fundamental criteria for choosing the right ICO are: the team, their experience and expertise. It is not even the idea, guys. All the projects are most likely the same. It is the team factor which is crucial. If the team can deliver - you will be in profit.

I do not agree, I usually start with the idea of the project, because I do not want to participate in ico, the idea of which I do not understand or like, and then I analyze all other factors

You can visit https://www.icoguide.com/en the ICO which very high rating is legit and you can invest in e.g Ambit Mining

[twostepsally]

More project in the ICO. Before invest learn the project and read the White paper. This information help to choose the best ICO for the future invest. It good opportunity improve business process. ICO project token in increase the price day by day. So it long time to hold the token. People lean more information and ideas from ICO project. It good investment. But you know the all process.

Take my advice as a guide to verifying any ICO:
1. On preico, the team must have a contract for automatic transfer of funds with prescribed conditions for early investors - not handles like many do, namely those prescribed in a smart contract - otherwise the collected funds can simply enrich the funders or conditions will change during the play - cases of lots.
2. The contract for preIOO should be part of a large ICO contract - not different coins - it is not safe in terms of vulnerabilities and withdrawals.
3. The contract for preIOO and then the ICO should be registered lower and upper barrier - if this is not the team does not know what it wants - just a scam.
4. The contract for ICO should be escrow of the funds received as a result of placement - it can be a frieze or multisec with a voting condition. This will give you a guarantee against the expenditure of funds earlier than the team completed the previous stage.
5. In the contract, an unconditional refund should be prescribed in the event that the lower limit of the collected pool is not reached. It is in the contract and not in the white book, if it is not - scum.
6. All contracts must be posted on GithHub, this will enable third-party developers to check the contract for the vulnerability if the team has not taken care and before the ICO has not posted a bounty on the vulnerability.
7. The contract must specify the conditions for the team and for the bounty.
8. The contract must specify the conditions for not traded tokens - with clearly defined deadlines.

Having an idea is not enough for a successful ICO. If ICO has a finished product, it has more chances to become successful.
Also look at the site and the team.

[pavelkor]

the thing is, there is so much project that u cant investigate right now, it is impossible technically, so just try to focus on some of them, better quality than a quantity

It is better if you will do your own analis. Read the idea of the project and whitepaper.  I recently found one project called  lccx.io - looks like promising exchange based in London.  Well developed white paper, experienced team, located in politically stable jurisdiction.
