I came across an ICO(name withheld) which asks for private keys of participants. The private key is the last item on the registration form and this may elude participants who must be excited at this stage of filling the form considering the opportunities promised by the ICO.

In case you are a newbie, beware never to give out your wallet's private key as people can still your funds if they get this number. The public key is enough for any transaction.
