Do you trust ICO Rating sites?

[seanjoseph]

yes i trust ICO rating.
it is good source for finding projects.
but don't just depend on that.
you have to do research by yourself too about the project you want to join.

I trust them to some extent, not all of them, They do give some indications of the state of an ICO. For example, I f they did conduct a KYC check on the team members and it passed/failed,you could rely on that and the proceed with other information you could gather on your own.

[Derzkiy]

I really respect the work that rating agencies are doing. They structure the information in a very convenient way and this allows you to very quickly analyze the basic data for each ICO project. In any case, important decisions must be made independently!

[felikszemdegs11]

Not really, I use them to filter through ICOs though, there's just too many to look at otherwise, normally check anything that gets above 4/5 rating.

Honestly, I do not really trust even the most serious rating campaigns. Their evaluation criteria are clear to me. But eventually you begin to notice that even high-rated campaigns often can not raise funds. And with a low rating are successful to this day. So evaluate the campaigns themselves, this is the best way and for you the most reliable.

They seem biased to me. A friend of mine who's doing an ICO told me that they paid 10ETH for 5 quality ratings and that's that! I noticed that some ICOs with good project, team, and good social media presence are struggling with getting good reviews.

With all that said, should it still be a factor to look at when investing in ICO?

I don't trust ICO rating sites. It is better to research for yourself and ask an experienced friend if you wanna buy a token. This works very well for me rather than those ICO rating sites.

ICO rating sites vouched Able project which allegedly turned scam. I am not really sure if the scam accusation is true but I did some research and found out it may really be true. There were red flags during their ICO because they claim to have collected 10K ETH but didn't really show the wallet. I think the investors should have asked about it including the bounty participants whether it was true. Some people asked about it but were not replied by the team.

Point is that, ICO rating sites, helped this Able team.

[throatbuttermilk]

no, i don't really, especially the one where you can pay for better rankings

ICO rating is done to guide you and and your research and findings, I don't think using rating site alone can give you the information you need to make a good choice as regards ICO you are considering to invest in.

i trust them but i do not think that you should read only them and sometimes intuition works better so be careful with them

[jozymens7]

There are so many ICO rating sites which are doing their best to make good ratings but I think some of them too are not. For me I do really not believe in those ICO ratings because they are the ideas of people.

i think that such ratings can be a good help when you choose ico but still you need to check their results twice to be sure

I agreed with you. I got the rumors that some ico rating sites will give a good review if we pay them with a decent amount. This is not fair for the other ICOs that with a good project and team that should be review fairly. But, this ICO rating is one of the things that we can use it for choosing an ico to invest.

After some projects, I stopped trusting these ratings, because they were bought for sure!

[minymax1212]

I just believe in ICObench. I don't see the cheating or hacking on it. And the experts and advisors are professional

[qilanadey]

Now it's very easy to buy a rating. Even ICObench is for sale. Exactly selling his experts. If the company has a rating of 4.5 + and only 2-3experts then I do not believe such ratings.

[Asantewaa2000]

If it is really through then I now see why some fake ICO's tend to get more ratings but that is not the only thing to watch out for before you join any project, so many thing could tell just to mention a few timing, reward involved , purpose of project and the team behind it.

[khordination]

Yes I generally trust (some) rating sites. They are usually run by algorithms that do some box ticking for projects. Beyond that, I don't think they can forecast whether an ICO is actually a good project. Also, clearly, some websites are just issuing reviews based on the $$.

[Lorik777]

I also heard a lot about the fact that ICO buy ratings from agencies. It happens when the ICO has more than one rating and many ratings from different rating agencies. I do not think that in this case all the valuations are bought. I trust more ICO topics that have many high ratings from different rating agencies.

[AaronVanW]

It relies upon you. In the event that you truly need to put resources into ICO and just trusting ICO rating destinations or individuals who give ICO rating that will be a major misstep. Cause the greater part of them take installment to give a decent survey. I am not saying that they are doing it in terrible way. It's about business and everyone is doing it. So when you put resources into ICOs dependably do your exploration.
