How long does Ico last?

[gunhell16]

ICO can last any longer or shorter it always on the ICO TEAM decision.
Some took a year to end, some just a month or 2.
There are more branch in an ICO! like:

PRESALE
PRIVATE PRE-SALE
PUBLIC SALE and more!

How long does Ico last?

So, my friend is participating in the subscription campaign in the OUTOFTHLOUD project. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4814891.0
then something has changed and now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5085373
The rewards program began on August 1 and continues to this day. It has been 8 long months. Posts in social networks stopped at the end of 2018. For all Telegram questions, when the program ends for a fee, my friend gets one answer - after Ico. When asked when Ico will end - silence.
It’s a pity to throw a signature, it turns out 8 months of work wasted ...

Tell me, is there a limit on the duration of Ico? It can not last forever?

Well ICO will extend due to many reasons like cannot even reach their soft cap and in worse case the ICO might be a scam. So do not be surprise that an ICO last for a long time. However i does not think that an ICO will last forever even if scam they will not want to do that they will scam as much as possible and move on with a new scam.

Good and interesting question! Theoretically, ICO can last probably a very long time, but not forever, you are right, nothing lasts forever in this world. I've heard that some ICO have lasted even more than one year. But it's sad, your friend i can only sympathize.

I think the answer for the question on when will ICO last, that would be when there is any better replacement for the ICO system. Something that is more effective and safer than the current ICO system.

ICO sometimes doesn't go according to plan. And when raising funds, they have to work hard to attract investors. But if they don't get the funds according to the target. They will extend the duration of the ICO and usually until the target is reached.

[sujonali1819]

I think there is no exact limit for ico duration. It depends on ico team. Generally, some ico takes 3 month period for finish the ico. Sometimes I had saw some ico take aprox 1 years to finish. And some of them finished ico but they say the project will be launched after 3-6 months later. I did not see them to launch their project yet. so they are totally exit scam. thanks

All ICO have a schedule for ending sales even though there is an extension of up to 1-2 months, it is unfortunate to leave a signature after 8 months joining but more disappointed if they still survive because the project returned to action on March 3 after missing nearly 5 months ago

depending on the conditions, so we really do not know exactly what will happen so we should be more patient so there is no mistake in making decisions because hasty decisions can make us wrong.

[Open4lies]

It's impossible to predict how long an ICO project will last. The time an ICO project will last depend on how long will they sold out their token. There are so many ICO projects ended right after private sale or presale ended because they reached their hardcap but there are so many other ICO projects last for months because they still need more money for their project or maybe they still don't touch the softcap.

[Stewart66]

I think the reason is because the ICO still hasn't got a target and I think it's still better than taking part in the ICO handled by a pessimistic and easy-to-surrender team, which indicates that the team handling the ICO is a team that doesn't give up easily because they continue to maintain Their ICO until the ICO can reach the sales target, if they give up easily they will end the ICO then let their project die then the investors and bounty hunters won't get anything

Today there are no restrictions on the duration of ICOs, but 8 months in my opinion is a very long time. In my experience I have seen ICOs which lasted 1 year.

I think there is more than that, as you can see this bounty been moving and will have 36 weeks on their program!

YES THAT US ADAB. its been a long time running that ICO!

[OcTA Bd]

It depends on the company policy.

[Kelvinikke]

Sorry about your friend's issue though but the exact time which an ICO would last actually depends on the team and these days most projects are finding it difficult to raise funds because of the bear market.

Usually it will lasting for few months or until the hard cap is reached, but not forever of course.
ICO without time limit will discourage investors who want to participating in the ICO sale.
This is because they cannot predict and know about when they can earn the Return of their investment.

[princeyeboah]

There is no regulations bounding the time frame for an ICO. An ICO may last based on the scheduled time and dates on the road map which can normally be found on the whitepaper. Other ICOs may be postponed due to some few factors interfering during the initial phase of the ICO. It is always good to follow the news channels of the ICO for updates.

[tomboi]

Before you join the ICO project. I think you can read the ICO duration information on the Website. The ICO will continue to run according to the road map or rely on fundraising. But ICO often experiences extended duration. This is done to achieve Soft Cap sales. But some have reached Soft Cap and ICO continues to Hard Cap.

[jossiel]

It actually depends on the project I have seen some ICO that only goes for only 3-4 months ,
But there are also some ICO that take more than that.

Usually that's the normal period of an ICO but there are some that goes beyond to that point of reaching 6 months or even more. IIRC, there are few ICOs before that even made up to a year.

[norachuks]

An ICO can last as long as it can and whenever they hit their target, then they can stop but it is not nice when bounty hunters starts disturbing them on telegram asking funny questions.

This is the problem of your friend that he hasn't learnt to choose the good ICOs and their bounty campaigns. It was obvious from the start that the project you mentioned is just a bullsh*t, you need only one glance at the dev team and everything is clear...So this is a good lesson for your friend. Such "ICOs" can last forever just because they are scam from the beginning. Be wise and don't fall into scam!

[beeelzebub]

It depends.

If it is a hyped ico that could even end in 5 minutes. But if a very bad ico with a greedy team that can take years.
