How to choose a good ICO, what criteria?

[CryptikEnigma]

This is probably the largest list of all the criteria I’ve ever seen and I think  to check everything on this list will be necessary to spend more than one week.

I think that it is worth looking for information about ICO in social networks. Many consider this not a reliable source, but there often you can find important feedback.

[fatenmo]

This is a very extensive list which could come in handy if you have enough founds only for 1 ICO but have found 3-4 that you like.
For me the 3 key criteria are whitepaper, product and team.

[NeedIfFindIt]

I like this list, there's even more of what I usually use when choosing a coin. But even with such a check, you can’t be completely sure that the project is not a scam.

[IcoGuide.com]

There are top 5 values you should consider before investing: Project idea, Technology, Team, Community, Investment potential.

[Cauchy]

Good list, thanks for compiling and sharing.

[richaerich]

For me :

Website
Whitepaper
Developer
The Project
Manager

Five of them are my first priorities before i join and participate in an ICO, if those 5 are convincing enough, then i will join in that ICO.

If I have a choice of ISO, there are several factors why I am either interested in this project or not. 1 This is a team. 2 is documentation 3 social networks and that there is about this project 4 And also who are already investors

[cryptochr]

The list looks reliable but quite time consuming. I would say I do about a quarter of these checks

[Johnnie Kien]

1. Know the people behind them
2. Go for disruptive concepts
3. Understand the target market
4. Evaluate the technology
5. Nitpick the white paper
6. Know what the coins are for

[Audistar]

I always chose the dev team. After all they serve as the backbone of the project.
I always have a dev team whom I trust, and with that I follow their projects and participate in it.
Another thing, I always check for their target market. If the target market may not be that priority of the market, then maybe I won't join in.

[koloNikolo]

I think it's very hard to analyze like that but it has sense. The main criteria you have to admit are idea, team, technology and will be that project useful. Even the team is not so important because when the idea will be popular then they can hire top developers and finish the idea.
The market of crypto is so unpredictable that even the good idea, good ICO etc could not be done because of many reasons.

[sinhlyshpt]

1. Investors
2. Trading volume
3. Price rate
4. Whitepaper

[rosabella]

1. Team: Do they have a solid team or just Randy from Idaho in his basement?
2. Technology: Is their technology solid, or atleast, could their future technology be unique?
3. Timeline: Is this company going to take 5 years to launch, or is it in the near future?

And through the 39 criteria above, I choose AION, ICON, NEO, WANCHAIN, BITDGREE, CURRENT !!

1.Team Composition-especially the development team and the advisory board. Look up each team member for relevant experience.
             2.Stage of the project and VC investments-Evaluate the stage of the project.Does it only have  a whitepaper? A beta version? Is there a launched product with limited functionality?VCs (venture capital) tend to invest and support projects from early stages. Look for this information usually on the main page of the project’s website.
            3.Community and Media
            4.Bitcointalk.org Thread- Bitcointalk is the biggest forum for Bitcoin and crypto related issues. It is strongly recommended that you read the messages carefully. Investor’s concerns will be answered  in this thread.
            5.Unlimited / Hard cap
            6.What do they need the token for? Is the blockchain necessary?
            7.Token distribution – when and how
            8.Quality of the code
            9.Evaluating the Whitepaper
            10.The Bottom Line-t is key to investigate and read as much information as possible and write down all the important aspects, positive and negative, before making an investment decision.

I pay most attention to the supply of the tokens, ICO price, and the team ability.
On these criteria's i select the ICO.

[motun01]

No one really follows all this criteria when it comes to choosing a good ICO to invest in, it is however important to consider the token metrics, the team, the pre-ico progress and also if it has any really reasonable real life use .
Also a patnership with existing projects can be deceiving so you have to be careful.

[BitcoinPanther]

The list give by OP is almost complete. We have to check all that details to be able to determine if the project is quite good to be successful in the future. Though the assurance is not 100% when all the criterias were met. That is my suggestion, what are the normal values or data of every criteria or what are the things we should know about every criteria? As for me, I focused on the whitepaper and to the development team. If the two do not passed on my evaluation, I will not check the rest on the list.

This time it's a little bit different to determine which is the best one and we can start it from determine where the ico create its own ICO, I meant about where exchange site that will have made the IEO for that ICO.I thought that that's enough to only use a single indicator like that right now.
