Hi Guys

My bachelor thesis is about Initial Coin Offerings - ICO. In particular, I would like to examine how ICOs and Altcoins are valued by investors.

Link to the Survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDb_lPCnY9tjqa4T2QAFpnG7MfHM7iDHYQxBy1EYQdnppqsA/viewform?usp=sf_link

The survey takes about 10/15 minutes and is anonymous and confidential.

If you have some experience with cryptocurrencies i would like thank you in advance for your participation.

Regards
Beni

Have you heard airdrops who listed participant to have a little awards with their coin by voting unto this sites? I was not discouraging you not to believe on this but to consider that not 99% of what you see on this rating are true.

i think everyone gets money and gives the rating. at the beginning still normal, but later when they are known money is very important. and money rules the world.buy cheap from bounty people. it's much safer. I trust only myself

You can give ICOgoals.com a try: https://icogoals.com

Nice mix of listed active, upcoming and recently added ICO's, and Crypto related news. Free token reward system for commenting.

[tendy263]

Forbes.com usually give out reports on top ICOs to watch although these reports are not consistent in their issuance but whenever they pick an ICO best belive that it will be a good one and very profitable. However the sucess of an ICO usually depend on the hardwork of the team behind the ICO as well as their whitepaper presentation.

Hi there,

I'd like to add our own website to the list: https://www.tropyc.co (you guessed it, it's an anagram of crypto)

Why are we better than other websites?

1. Rating is open source, we don't rate ICOs but our algorithm does. This means we cannot inflate a rate and cannot accept pay-for-rating.
2. Our focus is on token economics: we sort out the valuation of each and every token distributable (cost unit or stakeholder that earns/purchases the given token)

Hope you like the platform, more is to come, include a statistical tool for ICOs.

Regards,
Chris

Dear fellow bitcointalkers,

As the name says, I'll be listing the in my opinion top 4 most reliable ICO rating websites here, along with a small description and personal opinion on each of them. I'll be happy to also hear your opinions on 'em and discuss.

1. ICO Champs

Uh oh, some self-promo coming here: ICO Champs would be my ICO Rating website of choice.

Not only do we rate ICOs based on factors that do really matter in this industry — such as the hype, the risk and the profit potential, which is determined based on other criteria than you might think — no, you can also always see why we have rated ICOs the way we did.

And it will not be a reading experience as if you are looking at a whitepaper. No, we have introduced the “Quick Notes” feature where we will always just shortly give our reasons for rating the Hype, Risk or Profit Potential the way we did. This way, you will have a user-friendly, transparent visit. And not to forget: really reliable ICO ratings.

Not to forget, we have really kicked in and created an extensive course teaching you all the knowledge we have about ICOs and how to best evaluate them. Give it a look, it really won't hurt, as it's absolutely free!  I will guarantee you will have a different approach to evaluating ICOs than before after learning how this market really works.

2. ICObench

ICObench is a social ICO Rating platform supported by their very own bot named benchy. Anyone can register, fill out some information about himself and apply as an expert. In case you get approved, you are now able to publicly rate ICOs based on three factors: Team, Vision, and Product.

In order for these ratings to be as accurate as possible, ICObench has published a strict rating methodology, which everyone has to follow. However, based on my knowledge there isn’t any kind of control whether people are really following their rating methodology.

In addition to those rather subjective ratings, ICObench uses the already named bot benchy to give an automated “ICO Profile” rating, looking if enough information is provided on the official ICO website. Again, I am not really sure how this bot works and if it really is able to find all necessary information, even if it is there. Or the other way around, if there’s some way to trick it.

3. ICORating

ICORating is one of the, if not the, first ICO Rating platform out there. The website acts as an agency and focuses on evaluating ICOs based on their hype and risk score. Both of these factors are extremely important for the short term investment potential of an ICO.

The agency also provides thoroughly researched analysis of ICOs, not rarely almost as long as reading the ICOs whitepaper itself. What should be mentioned is that this service is a paid one which ICOs have requested themselves. Personally I think that ICORating’s target group are professional ICO Investors who are most probably investing in a dozen ICOs per month and just looking for short term profit, not caring a lot about the future development of a project.

A problem I see here is that ICOs have to pay a (quite large) amount of money to be thoroughly rated, but from my experience I don’t really think ICORating is biased or corrupt in any way.


4. CrushCrypto

I really like CrushCrypto.

It is a cryptocurrency analysis website not focusing solely on ICOs, but they have their own section for it. You won’t find a real ICO List with ratings here but rather written analyzes of projects they find interesting. What I find really comfortable is that they have their own YouTube Channel and are creating an extra YouTube Video for every analysis, presented by a young woman named Victoria.

However, looking at their analysis approach I think their ratings are more longterm based and should not be taken too seriously from people looking for short term investments.


So, that's it. Let me hear your opinion. What websites do you personally use in order to find good ICOs? Is there maybe anything I've missed here?

I would not trust any of them. Yes, they are convenient, the compressed information about the grid is collected, but everything is sold.

[Curaizon]

As a former investment banker and analyst, I can say without doubt that these ratings are fundamentally flawed. The sheer amount of new ICOs means that none of these so-called agencies have the time to do proper due diligence on any of these projects, so instead use some automated, arbitrary measurements. Our own ICO is ranked reasonably highly, but would rate as very high if we engaged in fake marketing, by which I mean buying members of a Telegram group, posting nonsense on social media etc. just to reach a specific number expected by these ratings sites. We singularly refuse to be dishonest or subversive in our efforts. Transparency, honesty and integrity are all measures that we consider extremely important, and none of these are realistically measured by any ICO ratings.

Yes, in my ICO listing those 4 has good rating from the users because mostly some ICO are based on the rating given by the community. Consider another ICO listing website which is Icodrops.com, potential ICO are listing in the website.

[a31078]

You have a good listing of ico websites even if I am only familiar with the icobench and icoRating. Sometimes, ico rating websites can be very helpful but most of them do not take time to conduct a proper research about a project and just gives it rating as long as they will be paid in return. I think the success of an ico depends on the hard work of team members in making the project a success because some ico get good rating and ends up no worth investing in while some least rated ico becomes better and potential one.

[makuzi_alethena]

An interesting article about a huge community as a successfactor: https://medium.com/alethena/this-is-why-social-media-indicators-have-no-business-in-ico-ratings-96eb67c2f8c9

[Pilip]

I also find intersting these 2:
- https://findico.io,
- https://www.coingecko.com.

But what do you think of https://icoholder.com ?


 So far in my personnal "ICO benchmarker" benchmark they are in the top 3.

[carlosvaldes]

thank you.I am bothering how to choose ico.now more and more projects are available for us to choose.we need choose the good of them.

[edulord]

Though all this rating sites are good but for me, the success and potentials of an ico depends on the effort and work of the team members and the developer in making sure the project is a success. It also depends on how well it is accepted by the community because most of this rating sites rate some ico more than they deserve and some less rated ones do very well in the end.

[deort]

Excellent rating! It is worthy of note that all the details of the ICOs held are displayed with the help of diagrams – this increases the level of demonstrativeness considerably.

[polonium84]

It’s nice that there’s such an element of estimation as “Guarantees”, especially in the modern world where ICO can deceive depositors without any consequences. 

[waitsummer]

It seems that you need to be hard at work to get at least B+. I hope that the ICO teams will take into account all the remarks and solve the problems.
