New generation ICOs

[aleksandra_kickcity]

This year is the year of Crypto and ICO. A lot of new coins and projects appeared. However, the old model of ICO campaigns is not working. Investors are afraid of scam and they need a quality product and the stable base that will support a currency. 2018 will be the year of new generation ICO.

For example, Pavel Durov, the founder of “Vkontakte” (the Russian version of Facebook) and Telegram Messenger is preparing to launch a cryptocurrency Gram. Thus, Pavel will be able to monetize Telegram and will provide Asian countries with a digital payment system. The name of the new project is TON (Telegram Open Network). The platform will be integrated with many of the most popular messaging applications. TON will be used as so-called “light wallets”, and its currency will be called Gram.

It is the brand new level of ICO campaigns. Gram is created to serve and support the ​ready-made​ working product. Also, ICO campaign will be launched to let the company ​expand in spite of making a name for an unknown company without a product.

Another example is KickCity community platform. Company exists for 2 years and now its ready to expand. KickCity is an existing event platform that focuses on community building and social interactions. Funded by angels and founders, KickCity has been bootstrapped for the past 1.5 years. The company has built revolutionary products for the event space and its currently generating revenue.

KickCity is building a decentralized reward-based event marketing protocol on blockchain. Having worked with many event organizers, it became obvious that their biggest problem is selling tickets or getting registration. KickCity team is solving this problem by creating incentives. Rewarding anyone to promote events. This simply means that users can invite their friends and when their friends buy tickets, they earn Tokens (Cryptocurrency), while the user who bought ticket gets a kind of cash back — motivation to buy more tickets on KickCity platform. KCY tokens can be used to buy tickets on the platform and can also be converted to FIAT.

In your opinion, will such projects will be the new generation ICOs?

Do you know such projects?

Well I think all the new ICOs will need to prove that they have a real product.
Unfortunately, a lot of scam in the crypto ecosystem were held this year and this will make people more careful about where to invest.

About TON I think it has a good potential specially because Durov is behind this.

Abiut KickCity I heard about them and I think they have great advisors, I really hope they succeed because I like their idea, it´s simple and seems like a win-win relation between the event organizers and the audience.
Nevertheless, they need to keep working hard to achieve great results, good luck with that!

we know ico at this time very much and but I like that, because more and more ico then they will race and prove that their project is feasible. but I am sad, because many beginners are investing in ico, without knowing the risks and they are not researching his project.

[jlanzago]

For me the best ICOs have a very solid team (including advisors), a great idea that needs to be on the blockchain, few competitors (be disruptive), solve a real world problem, have a working prototype and a low cap.

I am pretty sure that TON is a scam project. I did a lot of research but there was not even a hint of it on Pavel Durov's social media, especially Twitter, where he is active. If Durov was to launch an ICO and integrate light wallets in Telegram, then he would have at least talked about blockchain, Bitcoin or other Dapps on a regular basis. But you can check his twitter feed. There is hardly any such tweet. All his tweets are mostly about freedom and Telegram vs. whatsapp. If you see someone promoting TON project, don't invest in it until you see Durov announcing on his Telegram.

And as for Kickcity, I think referral schemes don't really work now a days. People prefer to research rather than just buy things from anywhere. And secondly, Kickcity is limited to some countries only. So not that great project.

[ZloiRediska]

If you are so sure that this is a fraudulent project, then tell me why Pavel Durov is in no hurry to refute this information? writing at least tweet on your Twitter account? I think that he will have his reputation and he would not allow the use of his name.

[nextel]

For me, the new generation ICOs are regulated ICOs because that should be the best option to end this unlimited supply of coins. We already have fiat but investing into Cryptocurrency is something that will give us chance to be rich but if there's hundreds of ICOs going on everyday then that will be over. As you can see almost all coins are struggling and crawling in both direction one way at a time.

the problem if applying for an ICO becomes more expensive that applying to the established financial cartells its basically meaningless.

quality costs funds, that could be used for the value realisation of the ICO

I think there are no other innovations in the current ICO projects, and most of them are still ERC20 TOKEN, even without their own wallets. At the same time, the financing of these ICO projects is increasing.

they still can be quite valuable,

because icos can be by far more efficient than banks

They are assorted of features but hitting on one goal, that is to innovate the used of technology as part of our livelihood. Unfortunately, some of altcoins are just promising. At the end of ICO, they will run from investors and users who participated their bounty program. I wish that in 2018, altcoin will be filtered in order for the investors who participated their token sale will not get scam.

I agree with you, investing in a ico has more risk than investing in a pump dump or obvious scam coin. But people is still continue investing

Check out DIW token at https://www.diwtoken.com/
A new ICO for Decentralized Security and has a whitelist available right now. Its concept is amazing and awaiting for news regarding this ICO.
The video also gave a nice clear view of what they plan to do but im sure there is more coming soon..

[ss10miner]

The best police is to attend the valuable ICOs, and sale half of your owned tokens when it is listing on the exchange. Keep another half for a year.

Good point about Durov, but at this time everybody has heard about TON, don´t you think that he could also mentioned that he´s not involve and prevent that people people ?

And why do you say KickCity is limmited to some countries only? I don´t get that point

Currently 99% of ICOs without real product are scams. Most are pump&dump schemes, when they invest money in advertising claiming raised millions. Poor crypto investors think that if someone invested in the projects they should be good. These ICOs sometimes selfinvest to make the "pump".

All these are shitcoins that will be dumped in some point of time.

Invest only in the companies with real product, who have their product on the market. 

[maereglapo]

For we need a regulatory board to stop people for launching ICOs without a good products or services,because many of ICOs are just making money out of it and will disappear after they already got the investors money,we need standard protocols.

True, product is crucial for the ICO campaign

Well done, KickCity. Wish you best
