How to evaluate potential ICO projects?

[TheClownSong]

As I known, ICO is a kind of risky investment. Similar to the IPO which is the form of invite for capital investment, but when buying IPO, investors can research the information about the company they invested, find out about official finance reports and be protected by law when joining. In contrast, ICO projects are often rather ambiguous and unprotected by government so the risk is so high for investors.
So how to evaluate a potential ICO project, look forward to receiving comments from you 

IPO is more safe because company should comply with government regulation. We know that cryptocurrency still not regulate in many country and thats why we should make a research before join in some ICOs. Scam ICOs give bad perspective to people because its like a jungle and no law can touch it

Today, when following any ICO, I always look for the transperancy of it. The more information they have, the more trusted they gain from their customers.

evaluate the project is a very difficult process. Currently, I would say that it is even impossible. It is better to wait when the ico projects will be regulated by the state

Those days where ICO isn't that popular than of today..your money surely flip up to 10x ROI. But it's hard for now, there are various new ICOs with promising whitepaper and roadmap, but only the investors will kill the price once they start to notice the inactivity of project. To evaluate good ICO is checking it's concept of project if it has integrated to any big existing company already.Also, check them to ICO review sites on which they are listed.

To invest in a good ICO you need to be experience in the cryptocurrency market, that experience will enable you to analyze the project you want to invest in. Things to look out any ICO you want to invest in are things like project roadmap, the white paper ,the website , what is the project all about does it have a working product that is to say what is the token/coin use for ?. And also look out the popularity of the project doe's it have reputable name or firms backing it. What's the soft cap and hard cap have it reach soft cap. These and many other factors need to be considered before investing in the project in fact there many good project to invest in. Take a look out sportsfx this ICO has already reach it soft cap and the token sales is starting on the 9th of Oct. =  https://www.sportsfix.io

Explore the website of the project. Study the white paper, Look at the bounty Manager, Explore social networks. Communicate with the administration of the project.

I'm not an investors, since i prefer to purchase coins that already present in the market.
But in order to choose a good ICO, I usually checking all their provided data thoroughly, making sure that the data is original.
Including the team behind that project, also any data that came from any 2rd party if possible.

Because of too many scam and shit projects still going on this days I personally think that evaluating a potential ICO is very hard even the documents are genuine and the team behind it is well organised we cannot be very confident that this projects will going well in the future there are so many team/developers that are very accomodating and kind in ICO stage and too good to be true but upon the completion of ICO they seldom released updates hard to reached or no updates at all.

Even though I haven't been to Cryptocurrency recently and still have little experience. But I am looking for a good project by checking first. Usually, I check through the website display and read a whitepaper. Then I checked the achievement of token sales. I have to look for sales of tokens that have achieved a soft stamp because that is very important.

[Geleve]

you should check the team behind the project. and check the advisors as well. if there are any known member or advisor announced or not. if not, it is really risky to invest in.

There is no need for too much difference if an industry is getting attention from everyone. There will be a lot of companies and startups offering their solutions to change it. Similar to crypto, there will be many similar projects of desire in a market. However, it is different how it changes and how it changes

The most important thing is to read the whitepaper. Take some time to go into details and to read the docs. I would also recommend to check the team members and the community stats on twitter, facebook and telegram.

when I want to evaluate an Ico project the first thing I do is read the WP from the ICO project, then I compare it with a similar ICO project, if the WP that they have is the same as the ICo that I have, I tend to leave it. The second thing I did was see the team from the Iico project, if one of the Teams had a history of scams I also left it. so that's what I do in evaluating an ICO.

[Stream41app]

One way you can evaluate an ICO project is by reading their whitepaper, checking the team behind it and it would be so much better if they can show you a minimum viable product. It's important that the team behind it has a good public track record and highly experienced as they will play an important role in managing the project.

Evaluation of the prospects of the project, it is quite a time-consuming process, which can be divided into several stages:
1. It is necessary to assess the prospect of the proposed business idea, as well as try to present its market conditions. It is important to study the project from the position of a specific market segment, taking into account trends and actions/achievements of direct competitors.
2. Then assess the prospect of a business idea, but from the standpoint of its blockchain. Here in the first place clarify the following:
how necessary is the blockchain, and if he brings his token is a real benefit; what problem is solved by the blockchain, because decentralisation is needed not everywhere; so whether you need your token to the project, and what his ecosystem.
If there are no obvious answers to these questions, it is likely that the project has no real value or is created to release another cryptocurrency just for the sake of cryptocurrency. There are a lot of such projects, because there is a demand for them and many novice investors act on a simple principle – buy everything you see.
3. At the final third stage, the development team and its environment – the main investors, advisors, managers-are considered. The analysis of the figures behind the project is a mandatory step in assessing the prospects of the ICO. Even if it is difficult to assess the usefulness of the idea, but the project is developed by well-known programmers and support figures from the crypto world who do not need advertising, the probability of success increases significantly.

At this moment, it is really hard to filter out the real project. My technique to know some is through looking at their telegram account and see how things go there. I observe it and decide whether or not I will invest my time in it.

not all the projects could afford good advisors so many of them invite unknown people but still remain quality ICO.

Yes I agree with your statement. We need to scrutinize all available data they shared to us to determine if they are legit.
