New ICOs and how to choose a proper one?

[doughnut]

What are your criteria to choose a good ICO? I am looking a little bit around and found have some interesting ICO in mind but I am still not sure if to buy some coins or not. Actually there is for example this ICO running now: www.culturalplaces.com . Its about a new cryptocurrency called Cultural Coin and it should be used as an platform for culture and events. Ticketing should also be paid with the same cryptocurrency. This is for example a project which sounds interesting for me. But obviously there are others also.
Would you choose this one or what are your most important ICO criteria?
Thanks

Although that would not say that many companies throw but if you look at the bitcoin discussions in the ICO branch, you can find the good always. I determine by the number of views. If you are too lazy to say something very good way.

[noorman0]

ICOs whose services are needed by the community, not for promoting popularity or the like. The vision of the mission obviously wants to fix economic problems or environmental problems and it must be revealed clearly. That's more interesting to me.
But it does not guarantee the ICO will end a success. Everyone thinks differently. But the vision and mission of the project is very important to the participants of the campaign, and from here we can analyze the quality and future of the project will be good or not.

[Dluretic]

A good way to choose a good ICO is to find out if the ICO project has open source code.
Because a good project will generally open source code, open source code can judge the good and bad of this project.

[fatirborju]

It is very important to choose the right ICO so that your funds are not wasted,How to choose the right ICO is Paying attention to the Roadmap and its White Paper because a qualified ICO will have a clear roadmap and white paper. It's important to determine the journey of the coin in the future. Because the roadmap and white paper is a picture of the future of the ICO.....

[shahani]

Choosing good ICO's it simply knowing their value and their quality, you can only notice the good quality and value by looking forward on the market results.

[YuginKadoya]

This topic always keeps popping in the forum, Well in choosing a good ICO all you need to do is research and read all information regarding it because researching a ICO before engaging with investing, Your money is at stake here so you need to be sure in every decisions you make and try to know more about the developer, services, And the Products that will offer by this ICO.

Agree with you

[sp01_cardo]

Not all ICOs and even good icos in the beginning will be successful in the end. Sometimes they fall. Just join in icos that you could think that is good. By reading their white paper, knowing all about their project and their dev team.

This is the most basic ICO option, but at this point almost all ICO projects are very low because the capitalization of the entire Cryptocurrency market is decreasing rapidly and affecting the entire ICO. Personally I would still believe in ICO because this is the best chance to be able to x10 assets fastest

It seems like a good project. I agree with you and also look for ICO's that solve an actual problem utilizing blockchain technology. Here's another one:

[thepo1m]

In my own understanding the criteria to pick good ICOs are subjective but to me
1. It must be a novel idea
2. The token must have real utility and show potential growth and adoption in future
3. the quality of the team is very impotant if not the most important of the criteria

[Tanzion27]

Every ICO has it own white paper, that we can read. Its one of the best thing to know if its a good one. You may alao look the likes of every ICO, it shows that a lot of people are visiting their site and gain the trust of those people out there.

They key is to embrace technologies that are empowered by the blockchain instead of just running an ICO and then say that your project is linked to cryptocurrencies.

[fenican]

I have to laugh at most ICO buyers. When you buy a stock, you get an ownership share in the company. When you buy most ICO's, you get nothing other than the silly token. Why would someone invest in a company for nothing in exchange other than the two minutes it took them to copy/paste some code to make the token? You'd have to literally be a moron -- you're donating money so someone else can get rich.

[codeash]

You need to check various things while investing in ICO such as whether a working product is there or not. Also project behind ICO should have strong team. Website should have all the details. Whitepaper must explain everything. Roadmap should be clear. Also future usage of ICO tokens must be analysed.Most of ICOs either don't have a strong project or a good team. So you need to be careful while investing in ICO. There is no regulatory body who can control ICOs so it's your duty to analyze and research an ICO properly before investing in it

I swear there are a million ICE review/tracking sites at this point.

For me though, a working or an MPV product is a good sign.

[richminded]

I must understand first the project before I invest on any ICO and to do this you have to make effort to know more about it. One thing is that, if the campaign manager is good most probably the project are also good because managers will not accept any shit ICO. A lot of things to be considered before you invest, do you homework properly.

[kulakvlad]

There are already a lot of good posts at bitcointalk about "how to choose the right ico". idea - team - roadmap, that's the main thing.

[doughnut]

Thanks for the answer. Yeah I know, there is no guarantee that it will have success....there newer is. The vision and ideas of culturalplaces.com for example look very interesting to me and it could be a success I think. Its a project which I think, could involve a lot of people and create a nice platform...

I myself liked the ICO with the theme of gambling and gaming. both ICO I always support. because I believe the ICO will succeed and reach the target quickly. this can be seen from the level of interest in such ICO began to increase.

[Wind_Crypto]

i prefer to evaluate them on some form of the following. Note to newbies: also always be careful to follow instructions clearly, including whether they accept btc or just eth, and not to send eth/btc from an exchange etc.

Hype:
twitter users
reddit posts
telegram members
discord members
responsiveness/truthfulness of moderators in these channels
   
Fundamentals:   
Availability of MVP
Team strength (number of experts in the field; linkedin profiles)   
Whitepaper originality/technicality/clarity   
Independent reviews   
Partnerships with corporates/academia   
Use-case strength   
Clarity of roadmap

Others:   
Existing Competition (other coins in the same space? how established are they)   
Regulation Risk (does it have security characteristics?)   
Hardcap (is it asking for too much money for its use case?)
Share of tokens distributed (are the founders/team keeping too much for themselves, escrow?)

[SaoAccel]

My opinion in choosing an ICO you always find the best company that offers unique and revolutionary project. This way your investments will not go to waste thus it will grow that's how I think it works. Nowadays, legitimate ICOs are mixed with many scams so always be alert.

[satashi]

If you are still new to this and would like to invest or join new ICO, you should study first how good the ICO is. You should be knowledgeable enough to for you to determine which is legit and which is a scam. You should identify first what are the main objectives of a certain ICO, are they promising or not? You should probably read a lot for you to evaluate each and every ICO. But for now, if you have no time yet to do certain evaluation, I would like to recommend this new ICO named PLENTIX. If you want to know more about it, visit https://medium.com/@plentix.aprilvalmeo/a-new-ico-that-innovates-referral-programs-with-blockchain-technology-c4e667e6442.

Hi, based on what I know, you had to start with reading the white paper.The white paper is one of your first impressions to the world of serious investors.
A well-written white paper requires time and commitment and can show how serious teams are about the project. It’s not as simple as having a good idea — you should know why project team are going to be able to build it out better than anyone else can.

[Agathai]

I do not have much experience to analyze and choose ico. But with recent discoveries, I realized that looking at practical ideas from gadgets, white papers, total <500m supply and value tokens. if managed by management team or bonus management organization. That has attracted a huge investment community. I think these are promising and worthwhile investments.

[vintages]

Nowadays, its really difficult to know a good ICO cause lately because scammers are using this means to dupe a lot of people. Normally, the usually good ways to know is to make research about the developers, check them out on LinkedIn, read their whitepapers and see if the project interests you. But now, I suggest you should just go to coinmarketcap and choose the cheap top coins there to invest.

[doughnut]

A good way to choose a good ICO is to find out if the ICO project has open source code.
Because a good project will generally open source code, open source code can judge the good and bad of this project.

Ah ok, thanks. I will check this out. But as a non-professional-programmer I dont know if I could go through the code and understand everything. I do have some coding experience but actually have no time to do that. But anyways...thanks

[doughnut]

Wow, thanks to everybody for so many answers....didnt expect such a discussion and so many infos. I have done the most important "homework" and went through the whitepaper of culturalplaces.com and honestly, it looks very professional and a great idea for me. I obviously would not invest anything into a new project without going through the whitepaper. The team is already made of 30 people and is a new startup in Austria, which already has also an App for it...so this is already a project which has a solid fundament. The thing is why I would choose this one, is because I am also a musician and have a lot of professional musician and artist as friends and know how hard it is for them to live just with the art and music they create...with this platform it would be much easier to have gigs, or make a crowd-funding for anythinig they want....but everything based on the upcoming cultural coin. I would be my first ICO and I am really excited about it I dont know, but its a good feeling....you guys maybe know it very well?

[CoinJanitor]

Unique idea, a great vision and an even better team. Thats how you pick a proper one.

Well for me, I tend to always do the same thing whenever I see  new ICO. All I do is look at the main thread first, and then I look at the website in case there is already one. And then the traffic or the number of supporters it has and then take a slight look on their white paper. And when I happen to like more of what I see, I then go deeper into researching about the ICO and go ask more questions on the threads or personally send a private message to the developers for my questions and dig more into the white paper itself. and after I get satisfied, that is when I start investing.

[Stereostar]

There are so many ICOs out there with utility tokens, which bring you no (financial) reward. But security token is no option for most companies. Do you have anything in mind, which give users a reward when holding the token? Would be nice the hear about  

[katiepower]

I agree withal the methods, which were written above. Meanwhile, there are two major issues :
- does it fulfill any actual need
- does it have any prototype of the product or partnerships with core players in this industry

For example, ImmVRse has positive answers for these questions. It is blockchain VR video-sharing platform, which unites content producers, advertisers and viewers. It also has partnership with Kingston University London, which enables to conduct actual R&D.

[raahi]

I think that the most important factor of an ico is to first judge its reliability, whether it is based on any superior coins and that way you may know that the valuation of that coin may be dependent upon any other value also check for security whether that coin is bounded by any ERC 20 smart contract to ensure reliability.

  Good ICO's comes from a good nature of company and a very experience team behind it,the product and services they offered must fit to a real need area with a positive solution. Probably a good bases in choosing a good ICO's.

[leland orser]

The good ICO project has an excellent team and a good team of consultants, which is quite important.
And good ICO projects tend to be open source, and you can look at their gtihub code base.

[McDee]

Sometimes I consult with my more experienced friends about where it is better to invest money. Sometimes I trust my intuition and invest in those projects that I liked.

[Lhanofclover]

Sometimes I consult with my more experienced friends about where it is better to invest money. Sometimes I trust my intuition and invest in those projects that I liked.

I do this also, asking for my friends view about the project i saw then after making a conversation to them. I will make conclusion wether i'm going to invest or not. I think it's not bad to have the opinion of our friends but the last decision will up to us but choosing new ico is hard because sometimes even if they have a good whitepaper. Some of the company don't perform well in icos or after ico.

[sultanali]

The best way to judge the initial coin offering is by judging the number of tokens the company is seeking to print. If the company is printing multiple billion coins then most probably after the ico each coin will not increase in value to an extreme amount averagely so look for coins with less number of coins printed.

[vrabac68]

Cultural places is good ICO from Austria i believe.I was thinking to invest but this market at the moment is killing and giving us so much other cheap alts.This is great oportunity to buy cheap and already proven coins but there are nice ICOs there with great ratings

[Nagricoin]

In my own understanding the criteria to pick good ICOs are subjective but to me
1. It must be a novel idea
2. The token must have real utility and show potential growth and adoption in future
3. the quality of the team is very impotant if not the most important of the criteria

You are right!
Also can add - the market. Product has to conform to market, not late or early.

[dedelp01]

Try looking at the discussions about the ICO before you go for it.

[hhussain]

It is hard to find a good initial coin offering even if you have analyzed the good ICOs in the market, this is due to the increasing supply of ICOs in the cryptocurrency world and with this increase is the simultaneous increase in the number of frauds so be careful because you can never be certain if an ICO is completely good.

[wave06]

Sometimes I consult with my more experienced friends about where it is better to invest money. Sometimes I trust my intuition and invest in those projects that I liked.

Great shout I think, couldn't agree more.

I would be my first ICO and I am really excited about it I dont know, but its a good feeling....you guys maybe know it very well?

I think its essential that you do your research, which looks like you have. I've heard of the coin before but don't know anyone who has got more experience with it. I think its important to find a project you are passionate about like cultural places in your case! Team and whitepaper look good, maybe also a good idea to search for some other sites reviewing it?

[kamalkk]

 I must understand first the project before I invest on any ICO and to do this you have to make effort to know more about it. One thing is that, if the campaign manager is good most probably the project are also good because managers will not accept any shit ICO. A lot of things to be considered before you invest.

[kaloloy]

there are too many ICOs are running today so investors should spend more time to know everything related to those icos.
just like their websites, their team like devs and marketing staff, their road maps and most importantly is their social communities because I do believe that good ICOs have strong social community reputation like many active members, admin and moderators in their Telegram Channels and other medium.
for me, the best way to check ICOs reputation is through their social network communities.

[kaloloy]

While researching ICOs, I mainly focus on the following -
1. The team - their track record with previous ventures, linkedin profiles - a good mix of technology and business expertise is what I generally look for
2. The whitepaper.
3. What using the blockchain enables for the project and if a seperate token is required.
4. Activity on Github.
5. How the team engages the community on telegram, twitter, reddit, medium.

Also, this thread here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2552575.0 has a number of spreadsheets maintained by ICO researchers which rate upcoming ICOs on a number of parameters. I've found these to be a good starting point to filter out projects before diving into my own research.

You have a really good points on choosing better ICOs over the other.
But for me, I should take a closer look that point number 5 because I do believe that good ICOs have strong social networking communities especially on telegram channels because this is the most trusted and more reliable community channel as we speak.
Ive been on scam ICOs and that ICO have poor social community that's why I could say, that point number is the best option to check whether the ICO is official or fake.

[Borisov]

Now fewer and fewer companies enter the ico, everyone is waiting for the market to stabilize and we will see a trend reversal. I've also noticed that many companies are putting off the news releases! (this is my opinion)

[Killrbit]

well at the moment atleadt the ico market seems to be extremely saturated with with mostly mediocre projects at best and outright scams and frauds being the staple, though u do sometimes tend to find gems hidden in between. Law of averages state that most people however will end up bag holding a mediocre coin.
 
Yes most people will tell you to look at the idea, use case and so on but given the clutter in the ico market as well as the bear market tendencies rite now, the most important thing to look at is the team, behind the project. Research the management behind the team to see if they're legit (and are not just fake identities, sometimes even a simple Google search helps)

Point being that it's better to start of with a healthy dose of skepticism and caution, and if you find any redflags avoid it. Most often you can get a better deal after the post listing dump excpetional in the case of really hyped icos.
Also imperative to chc github.

[Mrs Troll]

I will tell you the main secret how to choose a good ICO nowadays - you need to join in most pools groups that gather money for private sales and join only those blockchain platforms that were collecting money outside of all pools and had a personal cap for ICO/presale participants.

[emoji00]

Every ICO has it own white paper, that we can read. Its one of the best thing to know if its a good one. You may alao look the likes of every ICO, it shows that a lot of people are visiting their site and gain the trust of those people out there.

You need to take a view at all the competing products in crypto and outside crypto space and that is a really ardous task to do. Is rarely worth the effort for small investments.

[Lee Junseo]

I think,the vision and mission of the project is very important to the participants of the campaign, and from here we can analyze the quality and future of the project will be good or not. You need to be careful while investing in ICO. There is no regulatory body who can control ICOs so it's your duty to analyze and research an ICO properly before investing in it.

[Winterizing]

For me in choosing ICO to invest on I only check whether mission and vision is that good or not because I think it signifies the quality and the future of the coin itself in the market.

[herurist]

What are your criteria to choose a good ICO? I am looking a little bit around and found have some interesting ICO in mind but I am still not sure if to buy some coins or not. Actually there is for example this ICO running now: www.culturalplaces.com . Its about a new cryptocurrency called Cultural Coin and it should be used as an platform for culture and events. Ticketing should also be paid with the same cryptocurrency. This is for example a project which sounds interesting for me. But obviously there are others also.
Would you choose this one or what are your most important ICO criteria?
Thanks

People will give you the same answer, such as ideas ( concept ), road map ( development step ) and price ( product ). I think this is not the right time to buy coins from new ICOs, you should buy from ICOs project that already has history track record ( at least 2 year ). New ICO can't give you nothing they still on start line and don't have progress. Be careful to take coins as investment/ trade and I only suggest you buy eth only.

Thanks for this detailed points to have in mind. The longer I am investigating the ICOs and knowing more and more about it, it seems to me that number one and 5 in your list is also very important. Especially number 5 - so the engagement in the social media - I wasnt considering that much important but in the end it is! I just look for this one ICO I am interested ( www.culturalplaces.com ) and the team spreads a confidence and they are very active in the social media. So I am quite sure, that this one will have success.
Just one question: where or how do you check the activity on Github?

[ongkok87]

usually I am in choosing ico is by finding the concept that suits me. so i can understand it. if I do not understand the ico then I will only lose money

I dont agree 100% with you. Maybe the ICO hype was 2 years ago but if there are good and novel project coming and have no real competitors on the market then, with a good team and a good project organization/management/etc the time to buy or participate is also now. Depends always on the project.

That is one of my criteria, I always appreciate the idea of ICO projects. It is an important foundation for evaluating the project in the future. A subtle project and a special idea will make it stand out from other projects. Projects that are different are worth the investment and must be a good and reputable team.

There is no set criteria which grants a 100% assurance that an ICO is good, however, you can do some few checks to gain some level of confidence and originality in an ICO. You need to make checks and study on the status of the team members especially the developer. Also, check for coherence and originality in the names on their twitter, facebook, website and other sites.

[sangalangdavid]

There are many ICOs which are arising these days and we have to choose the proper one. In choosing a proper ICO, we must consider if their project is good or not. Check the roadmap and whitepaper, have a research about the ICO and find the feedbacks regarding the ICO so that you would have ideas.

[kevingreen]

This issue has always been a  hot issue for discussion, and my take on this has also been the same. Today there are many new ICOs to choose , the best among them are those ones with good ROI,, and also with a good and experience team behind it. It must not be over valued but with a very low supply ,and with every active community. This type of ICO are sure to give you guickly returns in your investment

it seems the ICO you say is a good ICO and will be successful. I saw a coin that had sold almost half of the target. the coin on this project is likely to be sold out before the expected date. ICO criteria I like are like this ICO because it is obviously the development of their token sales.

[madushanperis11]

To be honest, it is very hard to identify a good ICO as per mu experience. Some looks very promising at the stage of ICO but end up with falling the price soon after listing in an exchange. Anyway, you can get some idea by looking at their project idea, scope, popularity, documentation, current progress like things.

[platinov_and]

I choose an ICO for investing looking at what the company is doing. Also, I am reviewing an evaluation of the project on various sites. Be sure to look at the team that manages the project (this is very important). If all the conditions that I put in when choosing a project fit me then I invest in such a project.

[doughnut]

What are your criteria to choose a good ICO? I am looking a little bit around and found have some interesting ICO in mind but I am still not sure if to buy some coins or not. Actually there is for example this ICO running now: www.culturalplaces.com . Its about a new cryptocurrency called Cultural Coin and it should be used as an platform for culture and events. Ticketing should also be paid with the same cryptocurrency. This is for example a project which sounds interesting for me. But obviously there are others also.

Thanks for the answer! They already sold more than 6 million of the so called cultural coin in the second phase. What I like is that the project is clear and transparent.

[ANDRE2222]

Nowadays, the new ICO is very much emerging. If we are not smart and not careful in choosing ICO, we will be able to lose our money if investing in the ICO. If you want to choose ICO to invest, look for ICO with whitepaper that is clear, not convoluted. Check also its website, such as website, facebook and twitter. You should also pay attention to the roadmap.

[gbenga88]

Probably reading the ico’s white paper though it can be very interesting but, i’ll Indulge you to check for authenticity, compare the possibilities of how true it can be, should help out.....

[youyou_]

right now you should leave the ico project away ,because the market dropped and traders will not buy tokens from market.

[thepo1m]

It is getting really difficult to choose the right ICO to invest into now because no matter how well hyped a project is its started dumping immediately after listing on the exchanges. Investing in ICO now is like chosing a soap in a supermarket because the market is too crowded

[wave06]

Totally agree, the choice is massive! It's great to hear opinions in forums but the research needs to be done properly. On the cultural places website they say they'll announce the exchange date 2 months after the ending of ICO - still a while to go until we'll know.

You are right with transparency, the infos they provide are promising. Also great results for now, will definitely keep an eye on it. They have 4 phases, right? And do you know when the wallet will be ready after that?

Want to be a baller? Don’t miss your chance.  You will get 20k mtc just by doing a proof of promotion.

[DUCAT COIN]

i don't think you should invest in any ICO, its too hard to tell lately which ones are worth buying into because of scams.

I would rather wait for the coin to hit the exchanges (if it ever does) and buy it at lower prices a few weeks later.

[iconoclast]

The types of ICO's that I am currently investing in are the ones where the project is building the underlying layers of the blockchain. I think the market is not developed enough right now to predict who will be the winners in the application space. The only application layer tokens I would consider are the ones attached to cryptotrading as they have been the best performing group among application tokens.

[shazib083]

Today a new good ICO starting their ICO and in my opinion it is CellBlocks(cellblocks.io) which can be determined by the experienced team behind the project. The project has such valuable product to meet some different purpose. The main concept of CellBlocks ICO is to implement transaction for inmates in prisons which is very unique in crypto space and has some real life value for the prisoners. I hope anyone may convinced by their whitepaper(https://cellblocks.io/whitepaper.pdf)

Choosing a good ICo is a challenging event. For me the first thing to do is read their platform if it is have a good impact to the people in the society.  We know that people want a new for their on investing. They also want a Profitable that they can use in thier own future.

ICOAlert is a list of up and coming, current, and recently ended ICO’s. It is a great resource to find undervalued up and coming CryptoCurrency that may be very valuable in the future. I looked at three aspects: 1) basic concept; 2) team; 3) interest or hype.

[Sivainvest]

It is not so easy to choose a good ico now. I would suggest you to read whitepaper, to join their community and ask question to admins, to look the quality of their content. there are different sites with ico ratings. one of good ico as for me now is https://contribute.safecrypt.io
Go directly to the site or start with ANN https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2399912.0

[sultanali]

Many people think that advertising of an ICO on social media sites and seeing it everywhere on each platform provides evidence for the fact that this ICO may be has the chances of being successful in nature, but this might also be an inclusion just to gain the financial resources from you, beware of that

[spindle.ico]

With so many ICOs coming around it can be hard to decide.
I believe it's important to make your own decision : not just to follow hype, you know (though in ICO field hype is a sign of success
Take time and make your own investigation: read the whitepaper attentively, ask questions to the team and see how they'll react, review the team background.
Also, I can suggest you overlooking ICO listings sites. There are many of them where experts can give their opinion or rate the project. That also helps

[WolkGold]

My experience for choosing good ico is that:
- Observe the promotion and marketing of ico. If ico attaches importance to development. They will prepare marketing strategies, presale early marketing.
- professional team and long experience.
- The whitepaper is presented clean and clear. roadmap from 2-3 years.
- Ideas must be realistic and appropriate to the needs and intentions of users.

[TerraVirtua]

Hype is not always the best path to follow if you want to pick long term winners.

Solid team + great idea + excellent metrics.

Thanks for the answer. Of course one has to take care with a hype and investigate by oneself if the project is worth it and will/could have success. A good whitepaper is just the beginning of a good project. Are yourself very familiar to ICOs (or maybe an expert)? I don't want to join now a lot of ICOs....would remain more focused on one ICO. If you have a lot of experience in it....at first sight, what do you think about www.culturalplaces.com?

[kinki32]

First of all it's their product, does it exist alpha version or not. Then I'll find information about team members.

[barlo357]

Just click at the bottom of my message you can see the proper one ICO which is the NYNJA all the details that you want are there precise and complete so upon reading all the details you will think that this is a proper one. From the owner down to staff are there marketing strategy also there even a white paper that will guide you still there.

That's true. If you don't feel entirely confident choosing all by yourself you can always research on some of these websites. But then don't rely 100% on them but do your own homework. I thought the cultural coin website and whitepaper look good and they also have a decent rating on the ICO bench. Also saw that they even show the sites they are listed on on their website itself - which is a good sign to me. Have you taken the next step yet?

[Majharul Saiif]

There are many ICO is going on in this forum.Some are legal and the others are scam.You can identify them by reading their white paper, website, roadmap and projects details.Actually, it is difficult to choose a proper one.But by doing those,you can justify a legal bounty.

[IcoGuide.com]

There are top 5 values you should consider before investing: Project idea, Technology, Team, Community, Investment potential. Also you should make research during investing, read reviews, look at the rating and compare. Take a look at ICO reviews on IcoGuide www.icoguide.com

It is difficult to find the good initial offer of coins even if you have analysed good ICO in the market, it is connected with increase in the offer of ICO in the world of cryptocurrencies, and with this increase is simultaneous increase in number of swindlers therefore be careful because you can be never sure that ICO is completely good

[VenturaBro]

I usually look if they have a minimum viable product, if they're making profit, and/or at the development team to see if they have relevant experience.

All 3 check out for the ICO in my sig, so...

[legendbtc]

Yes, the project seemseems be very interesting at the beginning of many projects but they don't have any vision of developing the actual product. So many ICO's are cheating the community by collecting huge funds at the time of ICO's.

[Biso]

I wouldn’t go for any subject or project that is completely new to me. I read the white paper and try to check if the road map is realistic. Also check their marketing campaign and bounty. Because if those fail, then they are not ready, and that’s beside the point if their ico is a good one or not

[97percent]

Pick the most realistic project with white paper and road map that are acceptable. Then look at their team, how experienced they are. The best ICO would have a working product even they are still in progress.

[TerraVirtua]

Would echo that same sentiment -- working product, tangible, deliverable, impactful idea and a strong team that can execute.

[camport]

First of all there needs to be a good idea. Then there needs to be a good team who have some experience. Then you need to check out their plans for the future. I think many big new projects are waiting for the correct time (e.g when we enter a bull market) before they begin their ICOs. There are a few good ones around at the moment but many won't hit their target funding and will die out.

[IcoGuide.com]

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

I am going to invest in Ambit Mining ICO - take a look, I think it is quite promising.

[pokemoso]

Only invest what you are willing to lose. Dont put your money all in one basket. Proper financial planning is important in every investment we make. Try looking in in SafeCrypt.io. A high security exchange that has high standards of quality and every piece of software is being tested multiple times before they make it publicly available.
I spent some time to study SafeCrypt ICO. I think this ICO could become one of the best this spring, because of several reason:
 1. This is cryptoexchange. And this cryproexchange has some advantages compare to existing ones: instant transactions, lowest fees, absolute anonimity, large select of crypto assts and others.
 2. They lead very good ICO policy.
 3. THey have Adequate and reasnable bonus rates.

But this sites are in the end an additional informative source and one has to have some proper criteria for an ICO and of course...be selfconvinced of the project.

I research the following before making a decision:
Whitepaper
Usefulness of product
Team members
Collaborations
If they are active in conferences etc

A healthy combination of passion for the product, research and knowledge about the business plus opinions from independent sources is probably the way to go. Also, I've just seen that the cultural coin is now listed on IDEX, I think that's new. Have you seen? Good to always keep an eye on developments too

[wiak2]

The first and most important criterion by which I make the selection of projects, to achieve this there should be a soft cap Then look at of course the company itself, which has organised and co. It is desirable that it was a functioning company that changes its systems to blockchain.

[Mr.Freeman]

A good perspective ICO can be seen immediately, as soon as its ANNTread appears on the forum. Many comments at once, and not simply: "good project", "good luck to the project", and meaningful comments. A promising project has charisma. This is immediately felt.

[ranman09]

I use to check the whitepaper and see how the system will work internaly and how good they explained it. But in times (well today most of the time) since I dont buy tokens, i check how positive the feedbakcs are, and then if it catches my attention. I talk to an admin and ask specific questions.

Yes, I can just confirm that. After a while here in this forum I got a feeling to that. Actually I already joined the cultural places ico and now have some proper cultural coins. This is my first ICO where I am really part of it....its really exciting to join a project and follow it...feels good to me now After all I think that I joined a serious project. There are a lot of interesting projects out there, but as I am also interested in culture and music (especially music) this one was the one which convinced me.

Well, that is normal, i think that we all know how ICOs works nowadays, and it is difficult to find one that is really worth it. That is why i am always taking care about in where i am putting my bucks on.

But, joining icos is very good, i love them.

[david0ikari]

My friend or friends , you will have to choose wisely about what you are investing. Do your own research by ICODROP, or same website...youtube...Calculate if this is a nice campaign or not regarding the token allocation and so on...

[ace4549]

In choosing the right ICO company that will be trust worthy to invest.
You should read their white paper and study all information that included from it, because the strategy, implementation, goals, platforms of the company are written here so you will have a a preview from it.

[kendedes]

At least, a good ICO should have:
1. Profesional and the real team behind the project, mostly those who have good experiences and track record
2. The real and ready product of the ICO project that connects to proper utility and chance
3. Clear presentation as stated on their website at least, completely in their whitepaper
4. The larger community, because it is one of the ways that will spread and support the project to be well-known by all parties around the world.
5. Understanding the clear softcap, hardcap, token supply, and allocation'

But, there are also some other criteria that may help you to find the right legit  ICO.

[idioma1]

Before perticipating in any ICO I often deeply research the project. My advice is to pay attention whether the projects has a ready-made product as it is some kind of guarentee that it is not a scam as well as  long termed activity before ICO. It is an indicator that team goes stright to thir goal and will not give up.

[Marsyam]

In my opinion, Only invest what you are willing to lose. Do not put your money in one basket. Proper financial planning is important for every investment we do. And First of all, there needs to be a good idea. Then there needs to be a good team that has experience. Then you need to check their plans for the future. I think many new big projects are waiting for the right time before they start their ICO. There are some good ones right now but many will not achieve their funding targets

 

[RiannaPal28]

Personally, I look at the team handling the ICO and if they have an MVP.
For me, I think VLUX is the best ICO to invest right now.
They are a London-based startup who have combined AI and Blockchain to create a P2P energy trading platform.
The mother company is UK's Green Running, with a very credible and professional team.

You can find out more about this ICO on their website at https://vlux.io/

The most important rule is this "do not use the money". Companies that offer fabulous money and interest on the bounty is very sweet, it is likely you will not get anything. Otherwise, it is necessary to pay attention even to the smallest details, if you want to be confident 90% 100% does not happen.

[wave06]

Do you guys invest in ICOs just to resell and make a profit? Or do you actually use the specific coin for certain transactions, products etc? 

[Alex_marik]

Each investor has his own method of determining a good crypto project from a bad one, someone reads a white paper, someone looks at a rating on specialized sites. I pay a lot of attention to the study of the command and advisers of the crypto project.

[waterproof]

Investors trust the site IcoBench. The Bitrewards 4.5 / 5 project rating https://icobench.com/ico/bitrewards . The project with a strong team was seen by 61 experts and responded positively!BitRewards- a blockchain rewards and loyalty system for e-commerce businesses https://bitrewards.network/.

[hetecon]

Now I have already begun to notice DAICO which are much more reliable, they were created by Vitalik Buteren, the founder of the Ethereum. I'm trying to take part only in similar projects.

[yehor]

There are several platform that have their own criteria for evaluating the project.
I rely on the rating of the project.
If you want to know the newest upcoming and ongoing ICO you must see these sites:

ICObench - ICO rating and details

ICO details at ICO Crunch

ICOmarks - ICO Rating and Overview

TrackICO - ICO information and rating

CryptoNext - next generation

FoundICO

Companies that bring their product to the ICO are working to make investors know as much as possible about their ICO campaign. In this they are helped by sites that publish them.

The others already pointed the most important things out. I checked out also the culturalplaces project and will mention it in this list of criteria:

1) The ICO rating sites (they were already mentioned several times by other users...you know them ) : This is or should be the first step to check if the rating of the ICO and also (very important) if it is a scam or not. If it is a scam, then you can skip the following steps (obviously)
Your project has quite good ratings as I have seen on some sites.
2) The whitepaper: Read it and read it carefully to understand everything. It could take some time but its worth it. I just overflew the culturalplaces whitepaper...its well structured and explains in a easy-to-understand way.
3) The roadmap: You should know where the project is now and where it will be in the future....the roadmap should show you all and in compact form
4) The team: Does the team look serious? Do they have experience in ICOs and cryptocurrencies? Any special advisors? (the culturalplaces team seems to satisfy this questions)
5) The marketing and social media activity (facebook, twitter, telegram, etc etc): Also very important....check it out and pay attention if they are active there.

That are my most important criteria. Anyways....just because of curiosity: Are you already an owner of some cultural coins? I have seen, that the ICO is still going on...

[Sean25pogi]

In choosing the right Initial Coin offering you should consider all factors.
One, read the whitepaper of the company to determined the all informations and platforms they have and the second is the feedback of the public which gives you assurance about the credibility of the company.

Yes, I know the ICO websites, thanks Checking the ICO ratings there is also one of my first steps (if the ICO is listed there...if it is not listed, then I wait a time or search on other ICO rating sites).
You are also totally right with the social media activity too! No marketing-->no buyers-->no selling product-->as simple as it is.
To answer your question: Yes, I am already participating in the culturalplaces project The ICO is now in phase 3....so there is still 2 weeks left.

[Razick]

Proper ICOs always have one thing in common and that thing is that they are always offering a good product to go along with the coin. There is always something specific that you can do with the coins that you buy while with scam coins you are just holding a bunch of coins and waiting for the price to go up so you can sell. Also with good ICOs, they always have a face to go along with the project.

[daly896]

I no longer participate in ICOs, but prefer to buy tokens on exchanges due to dump. I've seen a lot of ICOs and those tokens costs much lower on exchanges just after listing, like 70% discount

[chessi]

 Good ICO in my eyes is not only a team or a product. The most important thing after these two is to check whether the team has international experience and connections. The biggest challenge of any global project (and ICO projects should be such) is how to get it scalable and adopted by people around the world. How the team intends to do so? Can we see very clear plan to go global in their whitepaper? Does the team has this ability or global credibility and experience?
Otherwise the project will inevitably fail. 

[TontomHit]

I used to check the score in the ICO benchmark sites, also the quality of the team, and of course what the project is about, does the token has real usuage, or it is just an excuse to collect a bunch of money, as an ICO. Because IMO that is the case in quite some times.

[lanafilonova]

To choose a good project, you have to trust the professionals. Look at how many percent of projects from the rating increased and how many fell.

[raahi]

Checking the team of the ICO is the best thing to check before joining any ICO because if the people which are involved in that ICO are good and experienced then I am sure the ICO is good one but if the people have no experience then the chances of SEO to get success is less.

[hongtranggg]

The first and most important criterion by which I make the selection of projects, to achieve this there should be a soft cap Then look at of course the company itself, which has organised and co. It is desirable that it was a functioning company that changes its systems to blockchain.

[crypt0junkie28]

Find something you are passionate about. Me, for instance, I am so happy finding Chozun. Since I really love travelling, I found this ICO interesting. They are still starting but I think the team behind this project has a strong experience in blockchain and cryptocurrency.

[michael23]

I first of all look at the project. If I see a new original project then I start reading white paper and look at who is managing this project, the team members.

[kakade]

In my basic opinion, if we want to choose a good ICO, we must consider:
- product that is offered by the ICO project. Many ICOs now don;t have the real products. They are only following the other existing ICOs.
- Token supply and token allocation and what happen to the softcap and fund rising.
- The team of the ICO project whether they have experience or not.

[v_15]

Its real hard to choose the ICO projects nowaday, as they dont provide proper information about themselves. I guess that's why they dont work and fails. I personaly, look for safety and sequrity and the technology they are using. I know the basic benefits of blockchain technology so i go for the projects which are blockchain based.

One project I came across is Dakuce https://dakuce.com/

It is based upon cryptocurrency exchange and totally based upon blockchain technology, that means it provides safety and security. The process starts with DAKU Token, a currency medium in which you can invest in to participate in the project.

[darkr]

What are your criteria to choose a good ICO? I am looking a little bit around and found have some interesting ICO in mind but I am still not sure if to buy some coins or not. Actually there is for example this ICO running now: www.culturalplaces.com . Its about a new cryptocurrency called Cultural Coin and it should be used as an platform for culture and events. Ticketing should also be paid with the same cryptocurrency. This is for example a project which sounds interesting for me. But obviously there are others also.
Would you choose this one or what are your most important ICO criteria?
Thanks

I am not dealing with the iCOs now but I used to do it. When I was picking the project, I was checking the information about each team member. Also the main thing - how many visitors there are at website!

[datngan]

I advise everyone to join the Eloncity project who is interested in quality projects! Very competent and interesting project which could and should invest to increase your income! https://eloncity.io/

[Dannev]

This topic always keeps popping in the forum, Well in choosing a good ICO all you need to do is research and read all information regarding it because researching a ICO before engaging with investing, Your money is at stake here so you need to be sure in every decisions you make and try to know more about the developer, services, And the Products that will offer by this ICO.

Some newbies like me just rush into ICOs without proper research. Most local crypto groups mislead people by hyping a project and making people to invest. The gullible ones fall to this because some one who is grounded and knows what he or she is looking out for in a project will do proper research before investing.

[svobodnyi]

If you want to choose a good ICO, then you will need to carefully analyze their project, their potential opportunity, their team and all the rest

[destiny100%]

To choose a good ICO project takes a lot of time.
- first you need to check the age of the site.
- second you need to check the domain, IP of the website in any country
- Tuesday you find out the image of the team is developing the project.
- 4th you need to check the idea of ​​the project.
- 5th you need to check the contract smart.

[yukisakura00001]

In choosing an ICO, I consider looking at the team and the project. Researching is the key. By the way, WOM token is having airdrops at this moment.

Now the hardest time for crypto and especially for crypto projects, there are many criteria, but there are no guarantees that a crypto project will be able to enter the market well.

if you don't want to fall like them, you should have their own criteria in determining which project you will support. and not only believe what others say. a lot of reading analysis in this forum as a reference

Yep, I agree totally with you. There could be a hype about one ICO because of a good marketing strategy of the project team but the project per se could not be a good one or maybe not the adequate and for newbies it is not very easy to separate the good ones with the not so good ones. With the time, one gets more experience and learns continuously but meanwhile one should be careful.

The first point is not 100% clear to me. What do you check exactly there? And if the site is a new one...what does it tell to you?
The other points are clear

[onrise]

Evaluation the team members in historical experiences and their abilities in new project.

A good team can actually make a huge difference along with the management of the company as they drive the force. If this combined together can work perfectly it can creates magic and every investment made will be a truly successful one.

[StGermain]

A good way to choose a good ICO is to find out if the ICO project has open source code.
Because a good project will generally open source code, open source code can judge the good and bad of this project.

The best way of choosing ICO is by looking at lots of them and the results of the ICOs. You will start getting the feeling of the ICO market and learn to tell good from bad.

[thesmallgod]

there are so many criteria for choosing an ICO and the most important thing is how innovative is the project. is it something holistic and not hust a falacy. you need to know this because any ICO that wanna tackle a problem that previous ICO have solved might not gain any meaningful audience attention and just within matter of time the project will go down. other criteria include popularity which can be access by the number of investors that are willing or already a member of the community etc.

[MiChaeng]

Thanks

usually before I join an ICO, I get used to analyzing it first in a whitepaper. there is clearly how the project will be run and how the team will be formed. besides, I also considered how many members participated in the ICO. the more members who join, usually the ICO will succeed.

[rmapower]

Here is quick checklist that i go trough always before investing in coin:
1. Check the crypto currencies forum page on bitcointalk forums.
2. Flashy images and good page setup.
3. Long term use.
4.Market capitalization.
5.Mining should be low on list of forum page.
6.Transparent team.

[ongahawak]

My first advice is this: Any ICO that you may be interested in must have their presence and community on bitcointalk. Here on this platform, the community actually look out for one another despite the fact that people do have disagreement one and again. It is of serious concern that ICO follow the bitcointalk forum rules and you can have confidence in their plan.

[daxiake]

Long term use. Coin, token, system no matter what the ICO or release is it needs to have long term useful value. Just releasing currency for the sake of it doesnt cut it. Whatever the asset is, it has to provide some real use in order for market to see long term value in it. This means when one sees coin always make sure to think ahead how could such asset provide value to certain people, organizations, companies etc...
For example it could provide platform for developers to develop other blockchain softwares on top of it, which gives it intrensic value of whole ecosystem build on top of it, it could provide capital flight in reppresed countries such as privacy coins allow, it could be distributed power sharing and use such as certain coins that distribute computer power might allow in future, it needs to give value to certain market.

[ayu07]

There are few factors which you should consider before investing in an ICO like:
Motive of the ico: Why are they doing this? If it’s simply to provide a return on an investment, then buyer beware.

Experience of the Team: What has the team executed on in the past, together? It should first and foremost be technology related.

Capital Structure of money:  How much crypto are they offering to the public? Gauging demand for a crypto is key

Raising the adequate amount money during their ICO: This connects directly to the point above. If they raise too much money during the ICO, they’re going to have to clear loads of ‘flippers’. These flippers are those that purchase tokens during the ICO and as soon as the team lists the token on the first exchange.

[5ensei]

Events and ticketing has already been covered by a successful ICO called viberate VIB and they have made a partnership deal with ticketmaster cementing themselves in the number one spot. Choosing a project that has been done before by a better company will not give good rewards unless the market is big enough for more than one big player

[waterisgood]

Looking at the events is a nice one to remember, thanks.

[StGermain]

Although that would not say that many companies throw but if you look at the bitcoin discussions in the ICO branch, you can find the good always. I determine by the number of views. If you are too lazy to say something very good way.

It takes a lot of effort and time to find a good ICO. The first rule is to make sure that you are not going to invest unless you really find something worth, don´t invest because you "have to"

[Querubbin26]

the first thing you need is a coin that has a use in the real world, I see with culture coin that was the ICO that you linked has already covered that, so let's go from there, also look at the whitepaper, and if it is something that is really possible, it is good to have a solid team and the right people for each position, that is very important, lastly they have to have a good bounty manager if you are going to participate like this, because it is very important to be able to secure the stakes at the final of the ICO

Looking and reading the tabs that they have on their site is how to see if they are real.

[De_nis]

I pay more attention to the ICO in the field of finance and real estate, I think they will be the first really working projects on the crypto market!

[akosipepot]

I pay more attention to the ICO in the field of finance and real estate, I think they will be the first really working projects on the crypto market!

To briefly expand on that, irrespective of the filed you decide to invest the  main thing is to look at the whitepaper and other places like telegram groups etc to gather as much info as possible. This will tell you if the project is worth while or not.

[Emmy92]

I tend to go by studying the team, their past achievements, the product they tend to offer and it's significance. How active is the community and finally read the whitepaper to know the Uniqueness of the project in question.

[leviathon]

The best way for you to choose a proper ICO would be for you to do your own research. Look into the creators of the coin and see their vision for the coin. Check out the product they are offering for the coin, how they plan to bring in people and make you money when you invest in the coin. Then you can also check their social media and their whitepaper.

[Why_I_not]

I choose ICO very carefully. I'm studying all the information. My main rule: I must understand the idea of the project.

[udocoin]

I have been faced countlessly with the same dilemma. ..I'd say based on Lil information have gathered the best projects are those with real solutions to everyday social issues

[xemkolp]

Simply click at the base of my message you can see the best possible one ICO which is the NYNJA every one of the points of interest that you need are there exact and finish so after perusing every one of the subtle elements you will feel this is a legitimate one. Starting from the owner to staff are there advertising system likewise there even a white paper that will manage you still there.

Yeah, the flippers could be a problem for any ICO. Actually some of them have a kind of proof-of-caring in the ICO phase to avoid these flippers and to have people "on board" which believe in a long-term success of the project. Obviously this proof-of-caring methods can also be manipulated by the flippers or they are also a sort of spam from the ICO team. I don't know actually how many of the ongoing ICOs do have this "proof-of-caring" because in the beginning it can also have a negative effect on the tokens sale.

So in any of the ICO you are interested you join the their telegram group? It surely is a good way to get know the project team and to get the latest news about the ICO but it costs also a lot of time to get through the whole history of messages. For a bigger investment/participation in the ICO it is surely worth the time to have an overview about it.

[kingkonjac]

the most important point is to search whether a project has a working product, experienced team and a good whitepaper which is fair enough to set goals and milestones.

[Crypto24hrs]

What happens in the choice of ICO is a reflection of what happens in business on everyday basis some business will start well and end well while some will start well but end on a very poor note so it is with ICO however the importance of a project with good idea backed up with good team members can never be over emphasized.

[anti76]

First of all, you need to pay attention to the ratings.As a rule, depending on the ratings, the success of the ICO also depends

[jeron31]

It takes a lot of time to choose really decent project. First of all it's important to read their whitepaper, then analyze their team, idea and roadmap.

[Troysen]

Personally I have seen that the campaigns that have the best success are those that have a product ready for development, they have to be very clear about the goals and what they want to achieve and when, the less they deviate from the roadmap the more reliable they are, so the goals have to be realistic and feasible, after that, there is the rest, like the team of developers, the white paper, and the community.

[yeniruieni]

ICO makes me sure is the achievement of sales of the token. Many projects which the ICO failed because the token sales did not reach the minimum sales targets. Obviously, it's very disappointing to all participants who have already joined. I myself am looking for a project with a token sales reach soft cap. With the sale of the soft cap is reached of course participants will get rewarded.

[sapnu]

Every ICO has potential to be a huge one. But at times like this, ICOs are not that profitable because the market is highly affected by the downtrend. The market value of the newly listed tokens are all falling below the ICO price which is what scares an ICO investor. Maybe this is just not the right time for ICOs.

[amaterazu]

honestly choose ICO is not an easy matter, because this determines the number of wages we will get. I personally, choosing an alternative to joining the ICO in the Middle, look at the ICO's sales in advance, if it reaches the soft cap then I participated. This I do anticipate lies or scam.

[datngan]

Eloncity Project is becoming more popular every day! It is highly likely that the project will become a market leader. This idea is very interesting and will definitely benefit everyone! Keep track of this project! https://eloncity.io/

[saqwe]

Though the project might be very potental based on your own research but for me, before investing in any coin, I usually take my time to do a proper research about the projects whitepaper, the roadmap or website structure, the technology on which it will run, the developer, the community and also the management team and members.

[sarasofrup]

There are so many ICOs in the market now, and it has become quite confusing to choose one to invest in, because of the high numbers that we have. I think before you consider making investments, you should sort out to look for what interests you, when you do so, find projects that matches these interests, then do your analysis on them, and then invest.

[Vendetta666]

A good way to choose a good ICO is to find out if the ICO project has open source code.
Because a good project will generally open source code, open source code can judge the good and bad of this project.

It is good that you know if the ICO has  a source code, its the best way to check if the ICO is legit one. And if you find that it can be trusted, then it is good for investment.

[ungongbuotan]

When choosing an ICO there are a lot of criteria to consider. Most of us here follow some certain popular bounty managers and we get to check their current ICO they handle. A popular bounty manager is also a big plus to consider. You can also check the people behind the campaign wether they are credible or not. But for me personally I read the whitepaper and roadmap in order to see if this appeals me or not.

[jatin729]

Choose proper ICO is not an easy task now a days, There are many ICOs which are running on but they are SCAMs, so i would recommend you to follow one of the ICOs management company like Amazix There you will find ICOs which are legit in nature.

[Cryptolenuj]

That is right choosing a proper project is the most critical partfor all investor specially if people based on hype projects ! If you are looking for decent ICO might as well try Eternal Trust an innovative smart contract platform for Trust Fund services that will help its clients to management their asset in a affordable price that will be manage by experts to maximize the potential growth of clients assets

[loonb]

first of all you have to realize this times not perfect for joining ico's. we are still in bear market and you can buy coins when they open in some exchange sites. even belove the ico price believe me. but dyor of course i m just telling my own opinion.

Would you choose this one or what are your most important ICO criteria?
Thanks

I would say if you are choosing a new ico then you have to make sure that you are picking one which you know that they have a good project that you can be sure will be around for a long time to come. That is one of the things that guarantee the success of an ico. Another thing you should look at is the community behind the project and how they support it

At the moment, most projects do not conduct an ICO, because to raise funds under such market conditions is very difficult. Investors are also waiting for the market to recover, so if you want to invest and make a profit, you need to wait or buy coins in the market, while low prices.

[nik9990]

good team, project idea, support of famous personalities and team work. For me, this is one of the most basic selection criteria.

[Chachacoin17]

I must understand first the project before I invest on any ICO and to do this you have to make effort to know more about it. One thing is that, if the campaign manager is good most probably the project are also good because managers will not accept any shit ICO. A lot of things to be considered before you invest, do you homework properly.

That is the first thing to do understand so well before indulging into particular activity. It needs an effort to discover what is the idealistic and can be created into a bigger investment that time will come that is really fitted on it.

[iceblasto]

good team, project idea, support of famous personalities and team work. For me, this is one of the most basic selection criteria.

we can also consider the manager who holds the project. we can see the mangaer track record when handling the project. if there are many projects that are managed successfully, it can be an added value for us to follow the project that he holds. We can also consider working partners, I often see large and real company partners whose projects succeed.

[kalashnikovski]

To choose a good project, it is necessary to develop an effective strategy, which in the long term should bring you profit. Maybe somewhere in the moment you lose some of the money, but on a long interval you should see the profit.

[biznes35]

ICO is one of the areas that should be captured by venture investors, not individuals who not only do not have smart money, but also do not know how to use assets.

[Benarand]

Every day more and more projects are being released. But they are not all quality. There are many sites that give an objective assessment of projects. Relying on their opinion is not particularly worth it. You yourself must decide on the choice of a project for investment.

[hanxinvwang]

If you are not very familiar with the ICO market, then I really recommend that you stay away from it because you will only fall into the scam.

I don't think it will work, there are many investments involving culture or similar products. yes, it has clearly proven that it will make shitcoin. I'm sure that, at this time, ico, which carries a kind of banking, is mostly shitcoin.

[FIREBALL24]

In choosing a good project you must know first the whole teams behind in this, you can eitheir go with the flow of someones participating in this project specially those who had high rank level such as hero and legendary if their presence are there so go with them imple strategy as it is ..

[chakhigh]

A solid ICO is one that has a good product and team behind it. Bit, that's not all the story!!! If this team doesn't follow through and give the utmost to deliver, then there is no chance to succeed, whatsoever. A sample of good ico is ARROUND with good team and product behind it.

[BitcoinGuruOne]

Recently i have been chosing all the wrong ones and thinkg that ICO world is becoming more and more slugish.
All the ICOs i have promoted in last moneths have been managed by seriously unprofesional poeple who dont understand basics of crypto market or just dont care, it is getting frustrating.

[starplaks]

We need to delve into the details of the project before investing in it and the selection criteria are different for everyone ...

[zk-SNARK]

In my opinion project is the most important thing for a ico.If yo love that project you can invest your money. Also
for profit issue  you need to choose icos which have biggest hype or which have nıtt any hype. Because in ico space there are too many flippers.
And they are flipping icos too fast because of that some icos are not profitable. If you need to earn money from icos you need to find some gem without attention.
For example during holo chains ico i didint see someone who invested . i also didint invest i dont like their team. but they did amazing profit after ico .
So you need to find real projects and gems.

[mcnocon2]

There are so many amazing ICOs out there, that they called hidden gems. Because they focus much more on improving their project or product instead of marketing their ICO. But in checking for the best ICO to invest for, look at their concept if it is for long term and does it have a real-usage that will help the community? And what matters the most is if the team is legit and have an experienced in this kind of project.

[btcjocan]

Most ICOS looks promising from the start,eventhough we will read the roadmap and the white paper without analyzing it,anyone could get scammed.Theres still no assurance to join ICOS that is legit  and i think its a matter of luck on some ICOS that will become successful in the end.

[izza123]

It is necessary to choose ICO projects for investments very carefully. I don't trust rating sites because I am convinced that these ratings can be bought. We can only trust ourselves, so it is necessary to deal with the selection of projects independently.
