How to choose a good ICO, what criteria?

[TopT3ns]

I see a kind of promotion at the end of OP's post  , but actually it is ok, we must see carefully to pick ICO because it will affect on our money when we make investment in it. And usually ICO maybe at least have very active developers and do their progress according their roadmap.

It's much better if you're going to emphasize or expand what's on your list like explaining them one by one just like "youtube channels" what's with that? not because they have a youtube channel they're a good ICO it much better if you're going to explain like "they should have youtube channel which gives detailed information about the project and how it works and how it solves the existing problem"

Lastly, It's really irritating to see users who doesn't know how to use ~snip~ it's really irritating to eyes. There are some high rank members who doesn't know how to use it please visit this: THIS IS HOW TO USE SNIP UNCULTURED SWINES

Yes, we must always be vigilant and more careful before investing in an ICO project, making sure that the entire project has a good work map. besides that we also have to see how the team experiences before managing the project that they want to develop, if they have good experience of course the project can also run well.

I actually help in promoting AION and Bitdegree. Believe me you don't need to look too deep before you know a project will have good prospects. Nearly all the projects we have this days are imitation of already existing ones. Good projects are solidly motivated probably because of idea behind them. Bitdegree is still doing great and if not because of the high volatility of the crypto, it would have been one of the top altcoin. Amon is still another great project. Although, the team are having a challenge in getting all the licenses required but I'm very optimistic it will make top list one day

1. Always go through the project’s white paper
2. Team's qualification
3. Business model and future development
4. Open cap or Hard cap

Now, It's a time of IEO While Initial Exchange Offering was present in 2017, it was overshadowed by the Initial Coin offerings. But with problems arising and no regulatory clarity on initial coin offerings, Initial Exchange Offerings have taken the front seat. Now Ieo takes a place of ico's because it is more safer and trustable than Ico's. https://tokensale.moozicore.com/

it is a very good list, but not all bounty hunters can do that, because there are very many bounty campaign programs scattered, so most bounty hunters don't have time to check one by one, and that is also the reason for the many bounty hunters who still hit by a bounty scam trap

[Deallove9]

You stated a good point in the way to go when selecting good ICO as there will be a reason every project to be launch but ICO used to be good back then and it has turn to scam portal now for crypto and why many prefer using their funds on trading or IEO which is more secure and has no issue with listing.

extensive network, partnership with bona fide agencies, solid teams, high hype, and good marketing (advertising on large platforms). That is one of the best criteria, in my opinion. The seriousness of the project can be seen from the marketing strategy and cooperation carried out with various competent parties.

Perhaps, we are hard to see it in a package instead of seeing them more on scamming activities. But I saw the market turns into good by now, it eventually changing its course for new environmental features where we could see more legit projects than of the fake ones.
It is just have to exert some effort in finding those projects that we could a reliable market demand not just today but looking it forward in the future.

Partnership is important for a new project to succeed. In addition to partnerships with large companies, the solidity of developer teams is also an important part of the success of a new project. Partnertship with large companies will provide a perspective on the business that is happening now and also for the development of a project

Good work map, and maybe a lot of things that can make it plus point need to research by investors. I mean sometime with good roadmap plan, some developers not too able to realize the plans that are on their roadmap. And then the coins not improved.

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.

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.

I guess, we need to talk about IEO not ICO, but certain rules should be used here, some criteria must be taken into account. As IEO are checked by the exchanges, I guess, you need to pay attention to the product.

If you believe that it will be interesting to people and has a good future, you can invest in the project. Nevertheless, trading for me is the better choice still.

That's a good thing, you have many criteria for choosing a good ICO. Everyone must have their own way of choosing good ICO. For me personally, I will focus more on who the team behind, read the whitepaper and roadmap, and analyze the possibilities that can occur whether the project can attract a lot of investor interest and run until success.

[Starfranko]

Waoh that is a lot of criteria. Perhaps bearing those in mind one should be able to make the the decision when it comes to choosing an ico

[timmmers]

I do not see anything positive why you should now invest into ICOs.
Big sales are on cryptocurrencies, on cryptocurrencies that are really working, solving a real problem, so why you want to invest into promises? You will not earn more, trust me. 

[TheICE007]

Nice one, if I must participate in an ICO then the major factor I would consider is the team, I must try to know the team backing the project ,also I go through the white paper to help me understand what the use case is.

I see your point and I agree with you, people should pay attention to existing projects before thinking about investing in some ICO. But still, most of the good projects started somehow, people are waking up and we see many projects popping out, some of them worth attention. Is it a new idea, a better concept, something new on the market..whatever that is and if you like it you need to support it with your investment.

[MindControl1337]

So many points:) In fact, this seems to be a great way. The more detailed the analysis, the less chances of f*ckup. Last ptoject I invested in and meets my needs for the most part is taklimakan network.

   This is great! I think this is the deepest research someone can make about specific project. More things you check from this list more safer you can be with your
investment. I check most of them, but I don`t have time to check everything. It would be exhausting, I have other things to do. That`s why I follow some people
who make great reviews about existing and new projects, people who have time and more knowledge about technology.
   You listed many criteria that we should check, but I`m sure that list can be longer. Checking team members, their CV`s, previous accomplishments, checking WP can
be difficult without proper knowledge.
   I will check AION, WANCHAIN, BITDGREE. ICON and NEO are already on my list. Thanks for good suggestions.
