before joining an ico, it would be better if we understand the ico that will be followed well. we can see the whitepaper because in it there is a lot of important information about the project. we also must see the team that handles because it's important. we can know whether the team that handles can be trusted or not.

This is a very difficult question to be answered. There are many factors that should research before investing in any ICO. But the numbers are too long and there is not much time for any investors to check those. So checking white papers, time duration in market, user opinion can be reliable sources.

Indeed true. Thousands of ICO are very hard you find which is the best and good ICO. It is really best you research in all forms of social media. Always follow and look for the visible platform of the ICO. It really take a lot of efforts and time to look for a good ICO for investment.

People are writing longreads on the factors to analyze while investing in ICOs. Huge lists are not very helpful, because it will take too much time to do the research and there are too many projects one has to look at to make sure one knows what ICOs are generally like. I wrote an article on medium with 5 easy steps to evaluate an ICO before investing: https://medium.com/@nd.invest.ico/is-evaluation-of-icos-really-that-hard-eb063e1eb73f. Do you agree or disagree with the points I made there? What are the main factors you look at when you evaluate an ICO?

That is one of the important factors in the analysis of ICO projects. I think that if traders read this article, their analysis skills will be greatly increased. I often evaluate ICO projects by looking at their ideas, their team and their activities.

All in principle correctly. I agree with many things. But based on practice, I see that investing in ICO makes no sense. In this year. All coins could be bought on the stock exchange at a lower cost.

You said that "HUGE LIST" are not very helpful because it cause too much time but that is important to make sure that your investment is in the good hands, most of the people get scammed by ICO's are those who are lazy investors, they are too lazy to do important things before investing like reading whitepaper search about the team etc.

There are quite a number of criteria for evaluating and selecting ICOs:
  + Evaluation team development
  + Potential expansion of the project
  + The foundation that ICOs use (Etherium, Stellar, Waves, ...)
  + A little bit of your own experience
  + Other factors

Always make research mate before choosing an investment site  such on their white paper and sites where you can obtain specific information about the project.  And i highly recommend to join as well on their telegram group chat to determine easily how good the project is through feedback.

All your points raised in medium are very valid particularly Step 1. We can actually know more about a particular ICO by reviewing what others have said about it on a relevant thread in the Announcements section.

Thank you friend, your writing is very good and really helped me a lot.
yes of course we need a way to analyze it so that we are trapped in a fake or fraudulent ICO and your writing can be my reference for choosing a good and good iCO for the future and from here I become a very important knowledge because before I did not understand how to choose a good and bad iCO.

You should carefully examine every details on the ico that they give if its correct or true or not. Most of the scam ico are impersonating some whitepapers and tend to copy some, so be careful on it. Make a proper research first before making and investment option.

Definitely I agree with you. Be careful in all aspects.even if they have visible platforms stated in the whitepaper but sometimes it is convincing because they copy it in an existing project. Sometimes also we are aiming on how much tokens they are going to give us that's why we can't research thorough every details of the ICO projects. Don't rush into investment. Study every single details on it to avoid being scam.

It's better to take part in the ICO held in your country.
Because with all that you can better monitor the ICO until it is successful and even if it fails you can refund it to its head office.

People are not interested in new ICO projects because a lot of altcoin are cheap so the ICO is no longer important in this market. I think if you want to invest then everyone should choose quality projects to invest because the risk will be less and can make you earn a stable profit in the long run.

[cryptosmoker]

I think we don't have to take the same step in understanding a project. We have our own way, right? Everyone has a different way on it because everyone has a different mindset, everyone has different ability in analyzing something. But it's good for you because you have shared your steps in analyzing the project.

You can do a few simple steps to check if an ICO is legit or not. You must read the whitepaper of a project, because it is the most important document of a project. Moreover, look at the product. A great ICO must have at least an MVP.

[JCviggen]

Investments in ICO projects have always been more risky than in coins , before investing in projects you need to contact the developers.
