New ICOs and how to choose a proper one?

[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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
