What are the factors to consider when participating in an ICO? I know this is subjective and depends on what kind of risk taker you are but if you are to list down the 5 most important factors, what will they be?

I think this can also help other people who are new to ICO to be more selective in where they invest and protect themselves from being scammed.

SET (Save Environment Token) https://www.set4earth.io/is a future cryptocurrencyhttps://coindelite.com/ dedicated to saving the environment by reducing the overall carbon footprint. Something that I loved about this platform is that it’s not focused on earnings, but is a way to preserve and give back to the society.

The coins are called SET. These coins are acquired by buying or renting Wardwizard’s eco-friendly product, the original company of SET. What I liked about their business design is that they are allowing third-party manufacturer combination as well. Users who buy these products through the SET token receive extra discounts.

Viewing multiple companies sharpening their efforts and resources towards saving humanity brings a feeling of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it will take years of continued hard-work to see notable changes in global temperatures and pollution levels. At least we are on the right path.

You can visit its Bitcointalk Thread:

Save Environment Token’s Team is giving 1 Million (~$190k) SET Tokens for Bounty programs. The Bounty program will run until the November 4th, 2018. We invite you to participate in our bounty campaign to support Set4Earth and to build an influential community.

These are the things I look out for.

-If the founder and teams are legitimate.

-If the founder seems like a visionary and knows what he/she is talking about.

-If the projects seems feasible and or legitimate.

I think that those things are the foundations of a good ICO. However I kind of rely on ICO rating sites and bounty sites to do the job for me.

[zedaq]

There is no need to ask about such things, because many people are not as honest as you think, you do not need to fall for the opinions of others, so that later you are considered guilty for the loss of your deposit. You make a decision and you are responsible for it.

yes you are right to define an ico we have to do some research and some information manually, i mean we have to do it ourselves and not depend on the opinions of others because if you lose money then you don't blame others

uhhh ,,, i would like to contribute some comments as follows:
5 factors needed to test any ICO:
-1: website: whether the website is finalized, whether the site is secure or not
-2: Team development: who they are, with full profiles on Linkedin or not
-3: Roadmap: The project has a vision and direction to develop
-4: Of course, it is necessary to find out what the idea of the project is to develop in what field, in the future it can develop or not.
-5: Vote rate: If you do not have ICO assessment skills, please refer to evaluation sites like ICObench, TrakingICO.

[jurgen444]

the most important factor is the idea of the project. This should be used appropriately in using blockchain, not just some ideas that did not work in the past, and now looks good for use in blockchain.

You should focus on the the development progress. As far as i know that the reliable ico will be created a sense whitepaper, i can tell you about some examples of icos which have developing a fully working product.
Zilliqa and ONT both of projects are focusing to build a fully working product. You can try to take a look on the buddy project to and you can to analyze the product that will be created by buddy project.
Never try to consider ico as an invesment and it's really wrong. try to consider how good the ico is based on their development progress and technical things.

[Psalms23]

There are actually some basic tips that may be more advantageous even if its small than without it. I would recommend reading from ICO rating sites, I know that some of the ICOs rated there are just paying, but it actually helps the popularity of the ICO so its a step ahead from its competitors. Just be careful though, not all of those rated in ICO rating are legit.

[blockman]

What are the factors to consider when participating in an ICO?

If you are new to ICOs then its safer for you not to consider them as of the moment.

I think this can also help other people who are new to ICO to be more selective in where they invest and protect themselves from being scammed.

If you are mostly worried about being scammed, don't put yourself into a place where you are not familiar with.

[MisterLangley]

I think there are some things to consider when wanting to participate in ICO. The first thing to look at is the roadmap, the second being the team.
Such topics are very useful and I think this kind of discussion needs to be discussed here.

[cryptosuotor]

You need to read the whitepaper first.
Secondly you need to check if the founder and the team are legitimate.
You need to check at the roadmap to see if the project have a focus.

[zxcv cool]

High-quality ico needs to see the team and whether there is a mark-to-market management team, both of which are equally important, otherwise it is easy to cause losses.

Yes, I definitely agree with you because these are very important things to look out for before investing in an ico. These are important factors that determines the success of a project and you should also check the community, the manager with his past history before investing in the project.

The team behind a project is the most important factor one has to consider before investing into any project. I think it is better not to invest in scam ico than to to invest into an ico that has the best website, white papers and exchange and at the end of the day the team behind them are scammers.

[nvishnu22]

ICO should be chose which has a good platform which will stay and have a market value and investors then going into an scam where you dont be benefited and ruin all your work for that ICo so its better you choose an ICO with good platform and which makes you beneficial in future.

[crisronaldo40]

Just need to DYOR, there's no secret to it.

Alright, I'll answer your primary question but I think there are opportunities other than ICO to look at.  ICO selection factors:

1. Product:  does it already exist? What evidence is there of the product?
2. History: Has the project already operated as a business?  How has that performed?
3. Transparency: Anon or Public project?  Either are viable but anon teams need to back things up with other tangible evidence of business success
4. Community: What is the community doing?  What talents are sourced organically within the community?
5. Communication/Marketing/Rankings: how well do the devs/leaders/managers communicate with everyone?  Do they only list to one or two listing, ranking, and/or social sites or are they on several to get more eyeballs?

Now that's out of the way... Let me ask you about Masternodes.  ICO is so 2017, have you looked at Masternodes lately?  Just like ICOs there are only a few good projects with way too many punters in the mix... BUT... it is still worth looking at just like ICOs --AND-- the thing about masternodes is that you could potentially own a share of the project that would pay dividends regularly simply for holding some amount of that coin.  Sure, entry costs may be cost prohibitive --HOWEVER-- this is changing with the onset of SHARED masternode services which are just beginning to take professional form outside the realm of shady discord rooms.  

Think about it...

[btc-facebook]

For me personally, it's quite difficult especially where there are too many ICO occur recently.
I can give you advice, try to follow local ICO from your own country because you can learn and able to observe more easily compare other foreign ICO.

At least nobody know for sure !

[davidka]

To choose an ICO to enter, we should choose a good ICO
This depends on each particular project, and the whole team behind that project. Selecting a good ICO is an extremely lucky option for investors. A good example is Storjcoin.
Storjcoins are the tokens, which are released by Storj.io in its ICO. Storj.io is a distributed cloud storage application, and when its main product is released, users will be able to spend Storjcoins on the storage space, in addition to being able to trade them like any other. other coin.
Another prominent example is Ethereum, which was sold at a starting price of only 0.005 BTC, and now you can see its growth potential. Ethereum is a platform for building decentralized applications of all kinds. The cards of the company called Ethers are actively used to maintain the operation of the applications that were built on the smart contract platform.
In theory, the ICO code can be used for anything, similar to Ethereum. The scope of use may be dependent on the scope of the project.
To choose a good ICO project we need to find out about the coin
For example you can go to coinmarketcap.com to find out, then you view its webisite to know about the value of coin. The point in it should be clear blockchain, have cold storage as possible.

[babos8383]

The criterion is a lot, the team, the timing of development, whether the product already in this project. You have to pay attention to everything.

[catnap]

I personally invested in an ICO called MediBit for the following reason.

1. The concept/product that is needed, innovative and feasible in real life
2. A solid team with professional backgrounds
3. How well the whitepaper is written
4. If they have something standing out among other ICO

Also, they just announced major news that they are now working together with Korean exchanges to launch the ICO.
And it is confirmed that they will be listed and available for trade as soon as ICO ends.

Here are some links if you are interested.

Definitely Yes I agree with you mate. All you have mention above are the best thing to look before participating an ICO. In addition,  you will also look the bounty manager who manage the campaign if it can be trusted. If you will follow what have said above, ICO that you participate will be more successful.

[rijaljun]

It's hard to find good ICO nowadays, so many scam projects.
You should do a deep research before decide to put your money into an ICO, review team profile and their track records, project's purpose, and many more. Try to find project you really want to support and don't only focus on short-term profit. Remember that rome wasn't build in juts one day.

[cliber]

I can only mention some that I think it is important to consider before participating in the ICO Team and Roadmap. For me, the two are very decisive, first of all it is the Team in developing ICO.

[Eros1on]

The current time point is not suitable for investing in ico. Many ico are lower than the ipo price of ico, so it should be a good choice to purchase ico directly.

[mightname]

The sign is a consignment, the company, the timing of circumstance, if the effect already in this affair. You enjoy to recompense disconcertment to everything.

It takes several hours of study, usually a couple days to thoroughly study the project, especially the team, the market and the token. Usually it also takes meetings with the team and even visits.

[trumper]

I think exchange is important factor, if there is chance to see it being listed on binance, okex or poloniex then I would invest in it either way because I would probably sell it higher price easily.

[liam111]

ICOs give you a chance to participate in great projects and buy their tokens with a cheap price, and then sell this on exchanges and make a great profit!

[mabell943]

For me to choose an ICO to participate in, you should have a enough information which is the best ICO in this kind of business and industry to be profitable enough, just be wise to be find out.

[Rejinx]

There is no demand to strike active much artifacts, by reason of several fill are not as authentic as you dream, you butt end not demand to deliver championing the affirmations of others, so that closest you are inspected delinquent championing the killing of your assign. You deposit a firmness and you are responsible championing it.

[PoseidonF]

I suggest you have a look at Poseidon Foundation, non-profit organisation committed to offset carbon footprints emissions using blockchain

https://poseidon.eco/

[NewBet]

The best way for you to choose the best ico is to look at the people who are working on the project. If the people behind it are dedicated to making the project succeed then you can be sure that the coin will end up doing well. Also look at the product, what exactly do they aim to achieve with their project, it is questions like this that help you determine if a coin is good or not.

[meanwords]

There are many factors but I would list those who are very important when choosing a good ICO to participate. This is what I check whenever I participate in an ICO. I hope this helps you.

* Check the Team - You should research whether the team is fake or not because most ICOs today are fake projects who have fake teams. Check everyone's background and visit their social medias.

*. Read the whitepaper - It says everything in here. You will know every plan that they have and all the information that you might need. Make sure it's legit.

* The company - Check if the company is legit. Check it's background and all the past works.

* Visit the projects social medias - If they are active and that they are always listening to the community, their's a chance that they are legit.
 

[lance04]

I think to choose an ICO to participate in, you should make your own research about in all of companies in this kind of business which of them is the best and trusted company in this industry.

Subjective opinions from me. I can not state enough the 5 elements, but this is what I focus on.
- Real team.
- The actual application of the project
- MVP

[iamreal]

Well for me to consider any ICO for participation, I will look at their team, I will check the project they are building, does it require a blockchain, I will check their road map to when they will launch their main app, I will check their token metrics and check the bonus they are giving out and of course the lock up/vesting period of their tokens.

[Hivecool]

I support the view that IKO is very much like a lottery. Only a few projects give a profit, and a large profit is generally a unit. But there are factors such as a well-written white paper and an already working project, and not just theoretical perspectives

[BillieCrypt]

I think that you have to observe social media, read announcements here and analyze real perspectives of the project. There are a lot of fantastic ICOs that don’t have correlations to real life, also you have to analyze information about the team, registration of the company. Sometimes it is possible to find information about scammers already at this time.

[obility]

To participate in any ICO, I normally look at
1. The team
2. The product
3. The use case of the project
4. The competition they will face / similar product existing
5. The Road Map
Once I check all the above and they good then i will make my decision.

[vallytech]

For me to invest into any ICO, it must meet the following, they must have a project, their team must have at least two all team and advisors, then they have must have good token metrics with no huge bonus. if they meet these conditions then i will invest.

It is necessary to study well white paper, a road map, see what product is being taken from this company, and the most important thing is to study the members of the project team.

[Supec77]

To analyze the project, the team, what similar projects has it already carried out? who is behind the team, what is the idea of the project?what benefit they bring to the world,why would their technology have to evolve and grow?what is the most important thing?then you will understand whether or not

[Pearls Before Swine]

All the new coins are complete bullshit.  They're just trying to get money from credulous investors who think a blockchain solution can be crowbarred into problems where it isn't appropriate.  All these peeps are just looking to get rich with the next big thing, but the fact is that most icos aren't necessary for the 'problems' that they're being touted as solutions to.

If everyone would just stop buying into these icos, they would go away and people would stop complaining about getting scammed or not making a profit.  The next big thing isn't in new coins.  You watch, it'll be in bitcoin itself.

[Lacoste]

5 factors I attach importance to:
1. Communities (FB, TW, telegram ...)
2. MVP - minimum viable product
3. Team. (A team of experienced members is an advantage).
4. Whitepaper (I think it will help us better understand their project before deciding to invest).
5. ICO rating (The organization that evaluates the project. This I usually refer to ICO Bench, ICO Drops).

[Aleksandr_ov]

pay attention to the commands first, then the scope in which the product or service

[uspsDelivery]

Take my advice as a guide to verifying any ICO:
1. On preico, the team must have a contract for automatic transfer of funds with prescribed conditions for early investors - not handles like many do, namely those prescribed in the smart contract - otherwise the collected funds can simply enrich the funders or conditions will change during the play - cases of lots.
2. The contract for preIOO should be part of a large ICO contract - not by different coins - it is not safe in terms of vulnerabilities and withdrawals.
3. The contract for preIOO and then the ICO should be registered lower and upper barrier - if this is not the team does not know what it wants - just a scam.
4. The contract for ICO should be escrow of the funds received as a result of placement - it can be a frieze or multisec with a voting condition. This will give you a guarantee against the expenditure of funds earlier than the team completed the previous stage.
5. In the contract, an unconditional refund should be prescribed in the event that the lower limit of the collected pool is not reached. It is in the contract and not in the white book, if it is not - scum.
6. All contracts must be posted on GithHub, this will enable third-party developers to check the contract for the vulnerability if the team has not taken care and before the ICO has not posted a bounty on the vulnerability.
7. The contract must specify the conditions for the team and for the bounty.
8. The contract must specify the conditions for not traded tokens - with clearly defined deadlines.

[walcott]

Before participating in ICO , you need to do your due diligence on the project . Ask yourself some key basic questions such as what the project is trying to solve , will the project still be relevant in the coming years etc . These questions will help you make an informed decision

[CopMom]

IMO, the essential factors you can select the potential ICO are:

1. Information about the development team of the ICO project
2. Token Sale Index at the private and pre-ICO time
3. Who is the ICO Project Manager?
4. The community of the ICO project
5. Which country does the ICO come from?

[mbally]

There are a whole lot of things I will consider in an ICO before I will get in, I will list just the most important ones, The first is that I will look at their team to make sure they have had similar experience in their previous work, you can't  be a finance person managing bank and come and tell me you want to build a blockchain? it's a No for me, I will look at the project they are, how far have they gone with it? I don't buy into ideas on white paper, I look at their tokens allocations

[torreun]

In fact, there are many ICO scams. We should be extra cautious when choosing ICO participation. First, we should carefully read the abstract of the white paper, fully understand the ICO project team, the project vision and development direction, browse the evaluation website for reference, and consider the meeting. Reduce risk

[RESPONSIBLE_]

Now there is no guarantee that the project will be successful. I would recommend to participate only in one project, but would choose several to reduce the risk.

[mrcastelo]

In choosing an ICO that I'm keen on investing, I read at least the summary of the whitepaper, I also check their ICO ratings (at least 3 different sites), Join their diferent social media platforms and ask questions regarding the project on telegram. You can check on GEMERA -
a project provides a crypto-token backed by Colombian emeralds that applies blockchain technology to create tokens that can be used for investors as a store of value or as a tradeable digital asset.
