They're still good ICO project to invest, but only few which is you need to read and understand on each project that you intend to invest. Its take time to find a good one, but you must inorder to prevent expending your time and your money.

My criteria for Investing in ICO or Sto is very simple, I verify that it is supported by an already established company, because the image of a company does not want to tarnish with a bad reputation, it is very different when an ICO project and without any support of an already consolidated company , I recently found an ICO from the United Kingdom that has a consolidated company and I know it will not be a fraud, and they have all their legal documents and up to date, this type of projects will have a future, and they have taken advantage of the growth of Blockchain to generate goods and services.

well, we all have different criteria. I sometimes measure the quality of an ICO, from the project they make, their team, their partnership. it will be a plus if they have confirmed their cooperation with several exchangers.

Same here, ICO are so risky to invest so all of us need to take a deep look at the potential of ICO project before any investment, As you said we all have different criteria to choose the right ICO for investing, but the main and important things to know are:
1- The potential of team.
2- The idea of the project.
3- The bankroll of the project.
4- Their partnership and it will be better if they have a good site and to look more serious.

Every ico has a different system but the average has similarities where we have to register on the website and pass the kyc first to be able to invest in the projeck

the easiest way in my opinion is to chat with the support. of course on the website there are support facilities, so we can use the facility for fear that each project has its own way, as you explained.

Always check correct news about how much their coin sold out, many ICO use fake news about their coin sell have raised soft cap and make investor are interested with their project, after listing on exchange market always with lower price than ICO.

Indeed, by chatting we can ask many things that we do not know so that the activity of the team must always be observed. Always more careful and careful in choosing ICO, if the website looks good and convincing, then many partners support it, the movement of each ICO does have a different strategy and this must be understood.

I have put some of my money into ICO a few times yet not regularly. That is on the grounds that this is exceptionally unsafe and hard to do, numerous ICOs are dead and don't keep down for long. So I will be progressively watchful in picking ICO for venture. I am searching for this discussion, on the grounds that here total, there are numerous ICOs and can be utilized as a venture.
I will pick cautiously in the event that I need to put resources into ICO on the grounds that I see this is unsafe, so I directed an itemized examination in ICO. Last time I have invested on Binance launchpad for BTT and made some decent profit by exchanging it.

I think that the ICO procedure is kind of dead and it is not used from the projects themselves. They have already started turning the public sales into private sales as people are now more cautious and afraid of investing in an ICO that may end up dead 1 month later.
Binance launchpad is a good solution yet it is too centralized and in BTT sale, only little people managed to purchase tokens (I am not sure if they were with the highest amounts of buys).

Due to possibilities of competition it would be best to see the team members first because they will be the one responsible for the success of the project. There are good ICOs that do not have good exposure due to less actions made by the team as a result it failed. Second to the team members would be the ICO itself.  There are innovative ideas but couldn't just get into a successful market due to some problems with its utility. If the utility for the coin is intended to reach out any sector of the community then it would be best.

How investing in some potential ICO is pure gamble.

But if you want to find good one then you need to research and understand how this new market is working now with so many ICOs involved. You need to research some base list, on this i mean whitepaper,concept, team and interest.

If something from this is missing the most likely to be scam. Read good whitepaper too cuz most scam copy something from another and then change ICO name.

Forget about social media promotions and engagement. If want to invest in an ICO/STO then you should prior the Team behind the project and read the Whitepaper carefully. Not just read but do the research on the project website and check the future plans.

Investing in ICO is easy but choosing the right ICO for you and for your budget is not that easy. There are some ICO's nowadays that are so expensive and some of us can't afford it right? But, if you do the right research about the ICO that you are investing for sure you will make a profit on it. It is just that you should do some research to gain information and to have satisfaction.

indeed when investing in ICO is very easy, but what makes it not easy is to determine the best ICO and can provide benefits, because the goal when you participate in ICO is that you can benefit from the tokens or coins that you get from ico, and now there are so many ico is a scam so that it will make investors difficult for safe and guaranteed ico investments.

Yes your are really right because many promotions in social medias are almost fakes or copy only. Like you said read and search the whitepaper is very important. But the one of the important is to always look the project everyday if this is updated or not , the more the project active the more the chance that this ico`s success in the future.

my advice, don't invest ico for the long term, because the price of the ico coin won't rise higher like bitcoin or etherum. to invest long term, ico is pretty good.

When I was new to cryptocurrency, I used to think that with time, ICO coins could increase in value which is supposed to be but it did not happen to most of my ICO coins in my wallet. What happened was the opposite, majority of those are already forgotten and gone to almost zero in value though there were very few that I profited good from but it doesn't guarantee that all the rest of ICO coins will have the same fate.

When it comes to investing no one likes to lose, so investing in the first ico you see is very easy but it is not recommended, that is when the real problem begins, there are thousands of coins and there are new coins appearing every day, there are so many that just trying to keep track of all the new projects is an almost impossible task and when you take into account the low success rate among icos you need to wonder if it is worth to read their websites, announcement threads and white papers when the chances of losing money are so high.

Many of ICO are really great - they offer something new that never existed before. I do not think that once these projects will end. The problem is how to choose a very good and promising ICO.
