Do you participate in crowdsales?

[eCoinomic]

Hi guys! I'd like to know how many of you and how often participate in ICO crowdsales buying tokens, not getting it free from bounties and airdrops. Also it's interesting how do you choose ICO to invest and how do you research if ICO is good or bad.

For example, researching on eCoinomic.net that is running crowdsale campaign now one can go to ICObench and see that it's rated 4.3 generally thanks to great product and reliable team. So do you participate in Crowdsales and what resources do you use to research?

Yes I am participating. I am always looking at different projects and if there is the good one I invest. There are several criteria which should be taken into consideration, while investing:

1. Idea of the project it should not be copy pasted, or it maybe like other projects, but market should afford two similar ideas.
2. Team - experience, involvement, there should be enough information available about the team; There should be team members who are ready to answer questions, it should be obvious that team really cares about the project.
3. Information  - information about project, sales, future plans should be accessible and transparent, you should be able to find out any information you need.
4. Community - it is important for project to have good community, where all answers are responded by the team, a lot of followers and subscribers.
5. Rates - rating on different rating platforms is also important, the rates should be high enough, I am looking at rates on the www.icoguide.com, they have very realistic scores.
5. Future plans - future plans and actions should be defined, it is very important

actually I joined in crowdsale  and in mu opinion it is good to get profits if the project is successful because not all  the project can success so I choose invest in crowdsale if I look in ico ratings if the ico has positive raitings.

Your analysis is very comprehensive. When participating in the ICO, many of us are always unable to find the chosen goal. We do not know where to find a project is good or not.

high rating is not the right reason that ico is good or promising. I often participate in ico and the first thing I see is their whitepaper. because in the whitepaper we can see what they offer and see the solution or problem solving they provide. we should also be able to see their product opportunities in the market and whether they have rivals. discuss also with other investors in their announcement thread or telegram group.

I participate in crowd sales and so far I am quite happy with my ICO investments, some tripled in no time after hitting the exchanges and some drop up to 50%-100% but then recover once market recovered. Make sure you made a proper research about the ICO project before investing into it.

Icobench can't be considered as a reliable source to determine how good the ico is. Mostly of the ico rate sites are paid to promote. That can't be trusted to give a honest rating to the every ico.
I just participate in the ico which publish its own code, has so many supporters, solid community and the business plan makes sense for me.

[pranazzs]

Just follow some ICO, such as IUNGO, Live Edu.
actually i like ICOs that like Live Edu which focus on educational projects.
or ICOs that are beneficial to our lives. Robotina for example.

I agree with you, why do people always see the success of ICO always from their ranking in ranking sites? I think some people in this forum believe that ICO ratings are not a guarantee of the success of ICO, Whitepaper, their Road Map, as well as a very strong team determining the ICO will work.

[fvb]

I do not particularly trust the ratings, they can be bought.  I read the idea of ​​the project, the team, the road map, etc.  What do developers offer in general and how this can help users and investors, for example, useful innovations in different sectors of the economy.

[krassy]

Crowdsale gives great bonuses to ICO participants, but this does not mean that the project will be successful.
I think that the ratings might not be true, I know a lot of ICO who have high ratings,but the user reviews say about paying, for example the Manager telegram of the channel project 3Dapp spoke about the unfairness of the team and advised to avoid the draft, and the project Myriads,which is in first place in the ranking of ICO-digest, incorrect information on the project team.

[eCoinomic]

I suppose the only people who know exactly if their project is a scam or not is the developing team 

[frowsiter]

Many times but those many times do consider the huge research before I can invest anything into it. I am pretty sure that when I make investment through the Crowdsale then I will ask my friends and other forum members here for an advice about that ICO project.

ICObench and ICOreview ratings doesn't matter for me anymore because they can be paid one and whom to trust about that. Its better to ask organic crowd about it and then take the step forward.

As some others have mentioned here, the team is arguably the most important component to consider when financially supporting a new cryptocurrency. Everyone has ideas for "the next big thing", but you're looking for a team who can reliably execute on that idea (not just create pretty marketing materials).

One of the other aspects to consider is whether they have only a roadmap, or already a proof of concept or beta version available. I tend to support projects that already have a working product, but are doing an ICO to raise more funds for improvements. This is more reliable than supporting a new project that has a 2-year roadmap but nothing to show for it yet.

I think nowadays the team that truly tries to make a great project, not just collect money from fools, is priceless 

[IrenNTA]

I've already participated in more than 10 ICOs and only 3 of them were traded below ICO price. Others gave me good profit, so I don't see any better alternative of earning money in crypto. I used icodrops.com rating resource and they helped me to choose the best ICOs.

[platinov_and]

If this is a really worthy project that interests me, then I'm taking part! There are very few good ICOs that attract my attention but there are projects that I can invest in. Of course, you can see which ratings have put the project different rating sites, but I would not advise you to trust them and evaluate projects on their own.

[minhdang2212]

If ico really has a good idea and is well received by the community with fast sales in pre-sale, then surely I will join the crownsale process of it.

[hussnainali]

I participate in crowdsales very rear, because i had some bad experiences while participating in crowsales as some got scamed and some got listed on very unpopular exchanges due to which the price of the coin got lower then it was in ico when got listed on exchange.

[xda-developer]

Yes. I participated in some ICOs when I have started in crypto. I invested not big amounts, but I should say that finaly I have been got profit from each investements. Not sure that now it will be so profitable as year ago, but it is my experience.
