How to Choose a Good ICO

[wanderloy]

You do need to research about the project so that you will know the result.

Sometimes this is not enough. Often the project looks very attractive, but as a result, it collapses and investors remain without profit. I think that in order to choose a good project you should have a lot of experience in this.

It's very difficult to spot bad ICOs today because skilled scammers can do almost all kinds of tricks today, we can't always rely on websites, team members and their projects because everything can be purge or can be copied almost perfectly but bad ICOs have difficulty in funding and they couldn't build good communities and they couldn't even advertise on Facebook and have no even single video on YouTube.
And most of all they couldn't hire experienced bounty campaign manager that's why the one who could manage their bounty campaign is a newbie or junior member.

The first thing to look at for whether it's a good ICO or not is through their bounty campaign because a good ICO hires good bounty campaign manager that poses higher forum rank like hero or legendary member otherwise not so good ICOs are being managed by newbies and junior members only.

   Yes, good ICO will take care of marketing in the best possible
way, if not they are not planing their future. Good marketing is
important or every business today.
   I always check road map, I like to see what plans they have for
the future. For how long in future they plan, by that you can see
are they serious with their project.
   In the end its always good to check what some experts have to
say about it, how community see that project. All this can help you
in deciding is some ICO is good or bad.

The team, if they're experienced in this field. The concept of the project and sometimes I look at the number of investors.

Bad ICOs can copy or appoint any guy who could just display their IDs on their website and then showing to the public that they're good team.
That won't work all the time because good ICOs have a good reputation by knowing their community strength through Facebook, Reddit, Telegram or other media communities.

Hi guys, there are so many ICOs, such as those listed in https://www.coinschedule.com. It's pretty hard to review them one by one.

Which elements I need to consider, the team? the product? the promoting technology? or something else?

Thanks for any suggestions

In order to choose a good ICO, there are things you need to consider. First, you go look their profile, team composition, vision, and product. After looking those things, check their investment rating, hype score, and the risk score. You may try to look for feedback too for further research about the ICO you are going to review.

Every user has their own opinion in choosing the right ICO for investment; you could just do your own research to know this in a better way. By checking the ICO's project potential, team, advisors and social activity, etc.

Key Factors for selecting an ICO

1- Idea : Idea should be unique: There are several copy paste ideas
2- Team : Check their linkedin. Validate creation date, prior feeds etc
3- Number of tokens : Think about market cap
4- Community : Which may worth too much. Check number of followers, telegram
5- Check feeds in this forum
6- Proof of products : demo, prottype
7- Bounty & airdrop campaigns
8- If there is KYC it means they are serious on what they are doing
9- Profession of whitepaper : Is it a simple copy or is it a legit one
10 - Advisors: Must validated.
11 - Roadmap : It sould refletct their strategy
12 - Your feeling : If you are not feeling comfortable on that ICO this means there is something wrong but you did not addressed what was rong clearly

Thats my way of ICO handling

[Aoliveira]

Information about the ICO project and the development team should be open, specific and easily verifiable information.
The white paper of the project should offer not only an idea, but also a real way of an implementation.

[tommydavis45]

The only thing you can do is research, any investment into anything has a element of risk.

Look into the white paper, the team, the concept, why do they want to create this coin?, what does it offer? etc.

Also use this forum, you can ask them anything on their thread, so use it!

[shaman11]

To figure out wich ICO is really best, i think there is not an easy way. You need to research a lot of projects and take a look on one of the best ico sites rewiev : https://icodrops.com/
There are some information wich you need 100% to research and take a look: Dev team, product, roadmap, product, country, coin price!

[gazilla]

As you said...what I look for in an ICO is whether it has concept, and how solid is their idea and is it applicable in the near future, because an ICO may be good but it is not as applicable in the near future.

It's hard to choose what is a good ICO for investment because so many ICO from now. But I think many ICO are true but 30% of their was not true or scam. That's why we makes some efforts to select the best ICO. You can make your own research to get some ideas. Look for the whitepaper, the team or investors,  the purpose why creating this ICO and how important of their project.

[Jackblack90909]

You need to study carefully the project before investing, to choose the most promising and profitable ICO. Take your time reading the whitepaper, check out the project's site, and its team, and the roadmap. This factors usually help to find out the most successful projects.

[xsaints128]

First you should see what the team is trying to achieve then you should see whether the project has a good team behind it's back and whether their goal is achievable or they are just trying to make themselves rich by raising money from the investors.

[lionheart89]

it is quite difficult to choose a good ICO because so many ICO are emerging. for me the first stage in choosing a good ICO is to read the whitepaper the understand the vision and mission ico whether it has a real program that provides solutions for the future. the second is to see the team and support whether to have team and support from professional people.

How to choose the best ICO to invest
Where is the capital raised? Wrong!
Rule # 1 - Choose the right size projects, focus on value and avoid projects with over-hype
Rule # 2 - Team analysis and make sure they succeed
Rule # 3 - Avoid large "dark areas" in their roadmaps
Rule # 4 - Make sure there is a reasonable hardcap, any unsold tokens should be destroyed and there will not be any future products.
Rule # 5 - Make sure the project really needs to be on the blockchain
Rule # 6 - Make sure the founder is engaging with the community and they need their token code to add value

With the current status of the ICO in November 2017 and the legal collapse of projects such as Tezos, the ICO market is dynamic and complex, now you are wondering how to choose a good ICO.
For the best ICO selection you should carefully analyze before making any decision. From there you will be able to make a big profit from the good ICO projects, most of them are projects that can lead to significant losses if you do not understand them well.

[Usui-Chan]

You really need to put some effort into studying ICOs. It is better to do that instead of actually regretting of investing to those that failed horrivly right after their campaign ended. Aside from the factors that you gave, look for some innovations that the company can offer, the originality and sich, this may be the reason for the ICO's success in the future which makes it worthy of investing.

[Pokemon Go]

just by looking at the roadmap of the ico project, is it good for the future if it means that ico is good for investment

[akonrupom]

I don’t think there is an easy way to figure out which ICO is really good other than researching. You should some research about the ICO you want and if they have a working product that could be legit also you look for websites like ICO bench it will help you.

Hard to find good ico in these day, but I can suggest some way to do that:
- Follow successful people on buying ICO
- Find connection between that project to real life
- Check out community number
