My trust score has been ruined by fake negative reviews by lying users. Click on my "trust" and then "reference" to see for what exactly I got them.

Everything i've read about icobench the last few days was not good.
That's why i do not trust the page anymore. They all just want our money.

I still trust ICOBench, I have heard a lot of bad news about this site. But they really choose the best ICOs. Never have any problem when I invested into ICO with good rating on ICOBench.

I do not trust cryptorating sites at all. I think everything is bought and sold there. I believe that basically all these evaluations of projects are lies.

You really think that they are the exception and that all of the ico rating sites dont ask for money and in return they will hive high status for that ico?Its called shilling and its part of the marketing,a lot of popular crypto youtubers are also payed for shilling icos

In my opinion almost all such rating sites are involved in suck commercial activities as paid overviews. They allowed to do this because they dont give the exact assessment of project but their rating based on their opinion. And sadly, money influences their opinion Undecided

I never trust this ico rating these are the modern or the replacement of the hyip monitor, which accept payment, so they can get a good status on their site, it's still better to do your own research, it's your money if the coin that they rate high go scam they are not going to refund your money anyway.

Wow, I heard something previously, but i didn't know exact amount you should pay for expert status and now i definitely lost trust to ICOBench. If you don't want to lose your money, don't consider their ratings at the moment of investment decision!

I've heard a lot of bad things about ICO bench and I'm disappointed about that, cause earlier I believed this site and relied on its estimates. Now rating on ICO bench could be bought so I advise nobody believe them.

It become very hard to trust the ico rating websites of today, because of this news. It is unbelievable that a 5 star rating cost 500 dollar on a website. With this news people will more use other indicators to know or a ICO is worth to invest or not instead of ICO rating websites.

There's always the risk of any platform providing biased or totally one sided reviews especially if it is just run and moderated by people. That said, I am anticipating the launch of Menlo One, a decentralized ICO marketplace that aims to solve all these issues we encounter with ICOs and ICO websites.  It's basically like ICO bench, but offers features such as being able to invest in ICOs with just a few clicks, management of your token portfolio, incentivized community discussions rewarding top contributors who help sniff out scams (with validation) or those who place the spot light on projects with great potential.

This is an interview video of Korean Jew with Menlo one's CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rw1QBpBYE6o&feature=youtu.be I highly suggest checking it out.

Eh, not surprised. I have thought that this must be the business model for every ICO rating site. Never trust these sites 100%, assume that their rating is not independent, and do the review of the ICO yourself. Isn't that the whole idea behind crypto? Don't trust, verify!

But I gotta say that these sites are still useful to look up for a potential project. Just don't trust their rating, do the research yourself.

This portends a damming danger to those of us that always check for reviews and ratings of latest ICOs for investment using icobench, I always check out for reviews via icobench but with this report I am really disappointed with them.

what is icobench? icobench is platform rating ICO free and communities blockchain supported by a variety of experts gives insight into the analytical, legal, and technical to investors.
ranking is the language result of an analytical assessment carried out by benchy BOT and experts. this is not an investment advice and is intended to be used only for your information purposes. ratings are based on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1 to 5 - where 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest. the icobench rating system differs from other ICO ranking platforms, since: calculated using a combination of ICO objective profile analysis and subjective expert ratings; dynamic and updated at least once

Luckily there are many new ICO listing sites coming up where experts can rate ICOs. Perhaps they will be more transparent.

So those only who paid high will get 5 star rating? this is bad, I never trust these kind of rating ICO website, the rating are already fixed by paying better to research ICO by yourself than looking high rating ICO with no guarantee if it is legit.

For me ICO bench can be paid by a higher team of an ICO project to make attractive to invest in their project.But then again at the end they scammed with us that's why I'm not totally trust ICO bench rating.
