How to choose the legit coin at launch?

The quality ICO project has several basic principles: technological innovation, essential restoration, transaction compliance, and social benefit. At the same time, there are a few special concerns regarding the supervision of the ICO: product registration, information disclosure, asset custody, real projects, and qualified investment.

Thanks for your replies, guys.

Therefore, only one small piece of advice from my own experience.
-   If you see that the new coin has premain (explicit or hidden in the first blocks)
-   if you see that it is supposed to have masternodes
-   if you see that the developer, as a rule in Discord, offers to buy from him these masternodes
-> run!
This is 99.99% scam.
After the sale of the masternode, developer will leave the project and launch new one.
Do not lose your money, bypass these projects.

This is sound advice right here. masternodes have always being one of the signatures of a scam coin. People should be more informed to know that masternodes are a not a good idea in a coin. The developers are most likely just trying to sell as much coins in as little time as possible. Once they get what they are looking for, they will most definitely leave the project which means the investors will end up with dead coins.

There are a lot of collective ways to find out if the initial coin offering you choose to invest in is the right one you could look at the team, their past history and works another way is to look at the token distribution and the roadmap for expansion and tech developments.
