How to choose a good ICO, what criteria?

[wicaksono]

There are few things, which you should take into consideration, while deciding, whether to invest your money or not:

1. Description of the project
2. The way tokens are being distributed
3.Business medel
4.Roadmap. How long? Which steps and stages?
5.The team per se
6. Media channels, the way they communicate with the audience
7.Investors. A popular fund, which believes in the ICO - a good sign!
8.ICO listing.
9.Detailed whitepaper
10.Smart contracts

I think this post is much simpler to understand and choose the kind and determine a good ICO I need to add again,. if you want to choose a good ICO see their activities in promoting their projects usually if they are active in attending events in various cripto meetings there they can be rated as a good ICO

I suppose there are too many criteria... I believe there must be white paper (and of course, thoroughly examine it), and it is necessary to "test" the development team whether they are real...

There sure too many criteria, Indeed.
But one of the strength of an ICO or a blockchain project is their social community especially telegram channel communities because active members can really do a lot of differences. When you bump into their communities, you could tell that admin and active members are responsive and all your queries are answered.
There are ICOs that has those good criteria lists but their Telegram Channel are terrible, stay away from them.

To determine a worthy ICO, you always need to understand that ICOs are considered high-reward but also high-risk investment ventures; therefore it’s required to consider some very important aspects before investing. Let’s look into the main keys to pay attention to.

✅  First of all, ask yourself: Does the project need to be done on Blockchain? Is it really necessary to create a new cryptocurrency for its work? If there’s a real need to do everything on Blockchain and it hasn’t been started solely for the purpose to stay on trend, then this idea is definitely worth reviewing.

✅  Find out as much information as you can about the team. Is the team approachable? It means that they answer questions in a timely manner and are taking feedback and giving updates on progress in all details.

✅ Decide whether the project has a reachable roadmap and well-developed future plans.

✅ Consider whether the tokens will have any value after the ICO.

✅  Keep an eye on all ICO presentations in mass media and listen to what other people think.

✅ Is the website solid and well-designed? Keep this in mind, because websites represent the company’s face before potential investors.

1. Description of the project
2. The team
3. Advisors
4. The way tokens are being distributed

6. Investors. A popular fund, which believes in the ICO - a good sign!
8. ICO listing.
9. Detailed whitepaper

[Lerikaweb]

Pretty a long list.  You may be late for a token sale while you are going through all these points  it is a good theoretical base,  but in practice people usually go with around 30% of what you've mentioned.

The list is cool, but it's too long for evaluation of every ico project. It is too time-consuming. Other things just can't be known during the ico stage. There's no market capitalization, price, trading volume and transaction graph at that time. Some points from the list are rather hard to understand, like 28, people can disagree on such matters. I would say that the most important things are good project description, minimum competitors in that sphere, nice investors and interest of crypto community (lot's of pages in ann thread, thousands of subscribers in social networks.

Generally speaking, I only care about the technical team of the ICO project and the code base of the white paper and gtihub. If these are all excellent, then I will choose to invest.

[George51rus]

I first look at the development team, the website (in my opinion on the personal site you can immediately see whether it is worth taking on the company) and of course white paper.

[greeklogos]

ICOs may seem as perfect opportunity for those who wish to start a new business without any loans from banks. But as an investor I would not trust too much to ICOs, coz the time proved that the most of them are simply scam and not effective. On the government's place I would put such projects under control and that would safe a lot of people from being cheated.

First time you have to see how much rating is given on the ICO, the greater the score means the ICO is good. The second is a clear and purposeful in them white paper and allows to help our ease in terms of new things and innovations. Third note the official website, there is usually written in detail related to the details of an ICO is running, such as price per token, duration token sale etc. Then also the popularity in social media such as the number of likes and followers also indicate that the ICO is already known by many people. It's in my personal opinion and that's all I know.

A good ico has several indications, not just one so if you want to see it see it and judge it in an objective perspective moreover do not rely on others opinions rather than your owns and judge each term including the team, the invested amount , the roadmap, the core technology , and the establishment, the support from other coins whether they are using any others blockchain.

[baricuri]

You do not need to give too many indicators, I think you should focus on the development team penny, whitepaper, roadmap, telegram ... And you check the amount of traffic poured to that country's website, every day How many people visit that ICO project site? These are the deciding factors of a potential ICO project.

[Baton55]

First of all, see what first impression the project does.Hearing about that interesting project and entering their site for the first time is very important. I know that looks are not everything, but when the design of the site is quite poor and sloppy it tells something about developers and we don't want to invest in an unprofessional project that won't succeed. Then check if the project has already gathered some amount of people backing it. Projects often set up their reddit pages or chats and blogs, check out if there is any noise going on there that indicates that this project is not dead. The more users already support it, the more probable it is to succeed. People are the one creating demand and setting the market prices.

A good indication of a bad ico may take you away from a disastrous investment, you may want to notice that after how much time of the ico are the companies giving coins to the investors and what is their predicted rate of return and how much time will it take to get a return on investment, these are all correlated.

[hhussain]

The best way to analyze and distinguish between a good ICO and a bad ICO is the whitepaper, the whitepaper is a document that gives every detail required to judge the initial coin offering before making n investment, given that you have analyzed the information presented, there is a less likely chance that you will make a wrong investment.

[TycTaHb]

If you do not have any experience of investing, then in order to invest money for the first time and not make a mistake, you'd better consult with someone who has good investment experience.

I have got to agree that you have done a hell lot of struggle for just choosing a best ICO. But I think even if you go with choosing such things. You might still end up in problem. In this era to technology there is really nothing true when it comes to facts and figures. So only thing as per me which matters the most for an ICO today is the utility of the token. That is the only thing which determines its future. This is why I have my personal favourite VLB token which provides utility of giving blockchain solutions for car servicing.

It is very difficult to choose a project or ico is really good because in addition there are many conditions ico market is also very bad of course this will make a lot of people think not to invest at all or do trading and it is more difficult for us in choosing a project or ico which one will succeed and give us an advantage

[francojon]

If you run the full list you will never find a good ICO that suits all your requisites and it would not make sense to spend all that time trying to find out if it is good or not because things change on the go anyway.
