How do you monitor ICO projects that you invested in?

[Kippah]

Hi guys,

 I was wondering what do you guys do once you purchase the tokens. Do you spend time on monitoring the project and if so how do you do that?

I am collecting large dataset to better understand how you invest in ICO. We want to start a community due diligence project, which could provide better information about ongoing ICOs and protect you from the scam ICOs. Let's get rid of the bad ICO apples!

In order to do that I need your help! If you ever invested in ICOs (at least one) fill in this survey (won't take you more than 5 minutes.) May the blockchain be with you!

Check website, talk with team, check what new about team and product in web

When I invest in an ICO, I always see to it that I will be informed of the latest news and updates not just of the ICO itself but of the project in general. I will always be in their telegram. The fastest way to reach the team will always be there. Responses in official telegram channels are way faster as compared to their social media accounts and their ANN threads here. But it does not mean that you will not monitor the project through other means as well. You need to visit their website, official social media accounts, and ANN threads regularly.

There is an ico group that has more than 24k member right now. And i'm one of members. As far as i know some people will try to do audit to the smartcontract code and other try to do another thing. it looks like the majority of people are doing various audit to prove if that was a scam ico or not. But to follow  what has been written in the whitepaper will become a good step i thought.

CryptoCompare is an interactive platform where you can discuss the latest Crypto trends and monitor all markets streaming in real time and
Alternate cryptocurrencies and altcoins forum discussion and With Ambisafe you can issue any type of asset on the blockchain in minutes, and add it to cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide.

After I invest in ico, I always monitor to see ico development, did it reach soft cap, hard cap or not at all. I also joined their social media group to get the latest information from the team and see the enthusiastic investors there. I always do the discussion, in their social media group and with my local community.

[Ponya]

You can ask every scam questions for understanding about project. What do you need to know: white paper, card and soft cap, actual topic of project, for what money, how they built promotion, what the team, what the token.

[shibob]

For me, I usually track the development progress and how the team spreads the words about their ICO: Product + Marketing. They dont need to be very active on telegram channel, but they should attend and hold sessions on blockchain conference, also hold the meet up for investors in some big markets.
Actually I set a lot of requirements on searching and selecting ICO, one of that is it should have a clear roadmap for at least the first year. And ICO should have Demo or MVP before ICO starting.

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

I always check the info from telegram, twitter and facebook from the ICO every day,

[nawaki]

i check ICO always on platfoam, telegram and spreedsheet from ICO every morning before login my account.

The usual thing is to have a portfolio tracker, particularly if you hodl many coins or tokens. You can use coinmarketcap directly if you only have a few and don´t mind browsing around.

[Longfellow27]

On my case I search the internet aside from hearing it on the telegram or whatever means just to see how the team have already done so far. I choose the internet first just to gain inputs if such an ICO is not going anywhere or if they are really making their progress. The ones who are very much known would surely be on the top of the list. So with this things happening you can really tell where is your ICO going. Words are not enough, sometimes words are so easy to be falsified and the unrealistic ideas be given real life. This is what happens to scams. It is a waste of both time and money and the excitement that goes from sleepless nights of expectations to a heavy feeling of burden left on your shoulder. So we must be very vigilant at all times, not to listen to people easily but to learn to investigate the real status of your ICOs.

[Kippah]

Many of you are asking this question. Many of you spend hours researching new ICO projects, reading forums trying to find the proper information, get the knowledge and make the right move. I am sure you  are already aware that it is not the most efficient way. It takes time and all of us have to do the same ground work over and over again separately.

Of course there are rating websites, which tell us what the best ICOs should be but after reviewing 120 projects myself I had very different views on most of the ICO rated as the best ones.

Of course you can discuss with others on the forum but almost no one there does exhaustive and systematic research on ICOs, so lot of info but may not be relevant or very much biased by one’s opinion.

ICO investors need to protect themselves and unfortunately, ICOs are still largely unregulated so we cannot expect that somebody else will search for and punish “bad apples”.
So we decided crypto community needs a proper Due Diligence project based on the knowledge of you all. We would like to build it from the ground up and we are open to any comments, suggestions and ideas. However first we need to know, how you guys actually screen ICO projects, what you look at and what you maybe neglect. So that we can focus our attention on those things. If you fill in this survey you will help us understand exactly that. We are doing this for the community, to create better, accurate and independent ICO reviews.

If the community is active then I would join the Telegram that they have and discuss what I need to know about the project. Reading the website helps a lot.

[shirackjs]

I will follow the project Twitter and join the telegram channel if any. I find telegram channel the best way to get the first hand news if developers and admins are active there.

[joann15]

Ofcourse I follow all of their social medias facebook page, twitter page, telegram channel, telegram group and Ann Thread here in forums. Sometimes if they had  their reddit topic I follow it also. Those social medias are really helpful for following for the projects of ICOs.

[sycaburatan]

Of course follow their social media websites,subscribe to their email updates and im sure you will be updated as soon there are something new or updates from the development of the project,surely you will be updated especially in twitter because twitter has a feature which you can use sms alerts will give you real time updates.
