is the KYC a factor to the success of an ICO?
Not really, yet having this kind of verification do really block other potential investors that might plan to invest on such ICO or sale due to that KYC requirement then they might not proceed but still when it comes to insurance and security to its investors then this would be a good thing but having a KYC wont really contribute or a factor which would lead to success of a certain project.The project uniqueness and real life usage or innovation will always be a strong factor among others.
