God save the ICO!!!

[Jamie_K213]

Community is developing and learn from its mistakes. So, blockchain is a fast-moving industry. So, I won’t be surprised if the rules of ICOs would change in the nearest future.

+1 to round system. We need to stop this crazy fundraising in scams.

[Stakh6]

Great scheme. I’ve lost $10K in scams in summer and I analyze projects more intense now.

[Bigboss69]

Even the promising and real projects can turn into scam or just fail in the end. The round system will at least minimize the risk loss

There is one in the pipeline, CoinMetro, who will contribute profits from the business(s) to prop up the price of their COIN, perhaps worth keeping in mind for when it launches.

Its really good analysis even startups not required whole amount at once it should be break up as you mentioned based on the progress and even it has to be regularised some platform like KickICO and Comsa came up with solution still lots to be done because there is lots of ICO coming up with only intention of scamming.

Some history on ICO:

The first token sale (also known as an ICO) was held by Mastercoin in July 2013. Ethereum raised money with a token sale in 2014, raising 3,700 BTC in its first 12 hours, equal to approximately $2.3 million dollars. An ICO was held by Karmacoin in April 2014 for its Karmashares project.

One of the first "mainstream" ICOs was executed by the messaging app developer Kik in September 2017. Kik had previously issued $50 million in tokens called "Kin" to institutional investors, and sought to raise an additional $125 million from the public. In connection with this ICO, an unidentified third party executed a phishing scam by circulating a fake URL for the offering through social media.

ICOs and token sales are now extremely popular. As of November 2017 there were currently around 50 offerings a month,and a new web browser Brave's ICO generated about $35 million in under 30 seconds.There are at least 18 websites that track ICOs.] At the start of October 2017, ICO coin sales worth $2.3 billion had been conducted during the year, more than ten times as much as in all of 2016.

honestly, I’ll bet that ICO won’t survive at all. nothing can save them. Eventually, it will become like venture investing

It wont be surprising since we do already see it happen for how many times on which ICO comes up or ends up on scamming its investors which it would really still happen this is why im keen on joining up ICO as of now because of lots of trash project and most of them are just copying each others idea which its really useless at all.There are still some which are worth to invest on but it would really be hard to select specially lots of project that do crowdfund on a single day which would make our search to be tough.

I think it's taking even new loops next year in 2018.

Hi, Crowdholding just allowed ERC-20 tokens to build multipule currency platform.
So, we have another task for you: Give us links to pre-ICO businesses who plan to launch their pre-ICO after November. Give a sentence or two why you think they would be a good fit for CH and we will contact them. We will be active with reaching out to businesses already on the exchange and pre-ICO startups.

Actually ico is very important in crypto world and i hope ico is saved.
Your idea is great, it can keep the trust of investor to ico.

[maarx]

Lots of successfull ICO projects are already up thousand times from ico sale price. This is a magnet for scammers.
And they are doing their work. Just newbies are not reading and investigating enough to spot them.
Thats the all problem.

Yes.  We do have many ICOs capturing markets succeeding in all the aspects.  See the trend in coinmarketcap.com.  If you look at each ICO trend map for recent days,  it has been so good.  A splendid growth is seen.  Really wondered,  if other altcoins as well would still have growth when bitcoin is in its peak. So,  we have many good ICOs.  Try investing in them rather blindly moving with scamming ICOs.

ICO is not down. A good investor can analyze. No one will invest their money, to who knows where!

[babygotback]

ICOs collect millions only with MVP and 2-5 members in team. Why not?

[bbcolex]

Every ICO funds that had been collected should be escrowed, and be certified by some platform that they are a legit ICO. I wonder if there is a way or a platform that verifies the owner , company background and of course funds should be secured for investors if goal is not met then investors will be refunded at ease. 

[babygotback]

The pre-seed round can be close just by 1-2 whales. It won’t be ICO anymore.

[dangdangdang]

Oh God! Save us from this Newbie and trying to trick that his ICO is better than him.
This kind of ICO is just wasting the table grid of ICO lists, please stop this! If you're going to announce your ICO then you're on the wrong section.
If you think your ICO company is big enough to welcome investors then hire good higher rank members and entrust your ICO announcements and bounty campaigns to them. You're not supposed to be here.

[allanr]

as long you make a propper investigation before make an investment it would be good, so many scam ICOs cause peeps think that so easy to gather money from that

[Stakh6]

yeah, but if whales aren’t interested in the project, then the contributors can help to collect the required sum
