Hi everyone
New to this forum but I see a lot of veteran advice here. Lately I've been researching, tracking and dabbling in a ICOs. I'm wondering what everyone's opinion is on ICOs, in general, and what your guidelines for investment might be. Note, this isn't a standard "should I invest in btc or X, Y or Z thread, but more of a place to share some strategies.
Personally I always start with the whitepaper and research it and its merit. If it sounds reasonable, I try to answer the question of "what problem does this ICO solve?" - is there a need for it, or, is it simply applying blockchain to some aspect of some industry for no real reason.
Finally, I look at the team. Have I heard of anyone, can I find them on twitter or LinkedIn, etc.
Anyone have other strategies they are willing to share? Looking forward to the discussion!
You do everything right friend. Everything listed by you makes sense, but I will say from my own experience that the team's notoriety does not always play a major role. There are many such examples. The same Stratis, for example. I look at the idea, the availability of a software product, and also see if the work is being done by the devs. Thanks - I appreciate that. When you say team, do you put equal weight on the team as the listed advisors? I've seen lots of discussion regarding how much input an advisor may actually have on any given project. As for me, the adviser plays the role of guarantor of the fact that the project is not a scum. I think this is the case. For example, the Cybertrust project. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2271223.0 I knew little about the team, but advisors such as Bill Delahunt inspire confidence. I read that he is a former US congressman and a founder of financial funds. It is a pity that this project is suspended. I think you understand my point.

Really? And what about Wings and Waves? The Ethereum was created by a Russian developer. There are enough swindlers everywhere.

Yeah It is good to study the white paper and of course you should also know what is the functional products they offer because functional product is the back none of the project this would really attract investors if their proposed functional products are really feasible and also if you going to identify the core team working if they are really known personality.

Right, that makes sense for sure, I guess if/when you can find an advisor who instills some confidence by attaching their own name, then it's a bonus feather in the cap. Why did that project get suspended?

Before I invest in an ICO, I always look for a strong technical team. Developments are the most important thing for a project and it takes technical skills to do this. I also like the project to have a marketing person on the team.
Do you put any weight on the advisory crew? Or entirely/significantly more on the dev and marketing?

Of course. Ideally, you need to take into account all the factors that may affect the further development. You must always think where you carry your money.

Why did that project get suspended? Right. This is an additional factor that speaks about the quality of the product. It's super, when all the factors are at a high level, but I have not yet met such. It is suspended due to legal issues. In general, the project is very interesting and should have been promising. All investments were returned as far as I know.

This got me thinking, it would be interesting if ICOs were forced (by whom, I have no idea, hard when it's so decentralized by nature) to report this type of thing if/when they didn't succeed. I feel that it would help boost the overall confidence of the ICO landscape for those on the edge of the crypto world, perhaps even helping to bring the potential of ICO investments more mainstream.

There is a larger risk when investing in an ICO because people know that the project may not be a genuine one. Don't invest in every coin with an ICO.

There are many things to look for in an ICO, like how the website is built, information about the team members is correct or not, is the team legit or not and most importantly that is there any real world use of the coins to be sold, if there isn't any real problem that is solved by that ICO then there is no use of investing in that project as then there would be no use of that token and maybe the money you invest in that would be lost. If you just follow these simple steps then I believe that you can easily spot a pretty nice ICO and also do share with others if you find one as it will be for the betterment of the public here. You are right. You have to do it this basic things and this can help you to protect your money.

I pay attention to team, reviews, ratings, but the most important thing for me is the whole concept, the idea. From the last ICOs I have looked through I like Safinus project the most.

We almost need a LinkedIn style social media for people involved in blockchain in order too better account for real vs fake team compositions.

I always consider if the manager is trustworthy. If the manager is popular and trustworthy, then i go fo it. It usually depends on the people behind a project. It is better to join those icos that will make me feel secured.

Sometime I look at the fund raised during the sale. I think the ICO is more close to legit if they could raise huge funding and reach their cap (even softcap) and remove the fear that the ICO you're investing will shutdown because it didnt reach softcap. If I see that there is till a lot of time and the fund raise is almost near the cap, then I might invest in that ICO. It could still be a failure or scam but at least, it one less reason for a failed ICO.
