How to Identify Good ICOs for Investment

[BillGoldberg]

Good points in the article and I definitely agree that all those will need to be checked before you invest on an ICO. There are aso good websites who will help you verify if the company/project is legit or not. You need to check everything that you could these days so that you're sure that your money/investment is in good hands before participating.

Following the tips given on that article above can be helpful but not a guarantee that something will not go wrong as there are many good projects that caught the attention (and the purse, of course) of many but they eventually turned out to be a big nightmare to the tune of millions of dollars flying into thin air and the supporters left with empty plastic bags (hope they don't throw them into the ocean!).

The truth is that the very nature of the ICO platform is quite risky -- very risky -- all because the marketplace is not regulated and when anything is not regulated that is when the dark side of human nature can easily take in. With no sense of legal responsibly, project proponents and developers change theirs mask into that of a scammer.

Hopefully, with the coming of the IEO where exchanges are injected into the scene, things can get better but until there is a clear-cut regulation on the whole crowdfunding process there is no guarantee that a project will not, one day sooner or later,  just evaporate like a vapor under the light of the sun. Oh, well...

That absence of clear defined regulation is the reason many project devs find it so easy to exit scam. Once they find a way to raise money via ICO it suddenly becomes difficult to follow through on the project. IEO is good but it is still not a safe haven for investors as there is still that niggling risk of losing money from abandoned projects

Reading other people's articles for reference is good, but we must doing our own research as well.
To identify a good ICO, you will need to know the ICO is very legit, otherwise it will scam you and take your money.
Good ICO will makes many investors participating in their project, so we know that good ICO will have good amount of peoples participating.

Most of advise on this link is good, and really helpful for newbie. Review on their team, make sure their team have strong background and also have linkedin before they launch ICO/IEO, nowadays many developer team create linkedin only for ICO/IEO. I ever met some people who just made linkedin, when i search on google i never found their name, it must be fake team. When you review team, do not focus too much on advisors, more focus in every single person except advisors.

Review business plan, most of them said "Roadmap" / "Ecosystem", are they business plan really realible?  are they business already exist? Personally i dont like coin if their busines is not ready or exist.

Dont easy amaze with whitepaper, i saw many coin/token with very interesting concept, very interesting whitepaper, and finally goes to fail project

[trust7]

For me it is still very difficult to determine which project is really good and which is just a hoax. I try to carefully study the project, all the information. Guided by seasoned experts bounty companies.

[Plinteng]

the most important thing in the ico project is the whitepaper because all the project contents are listed in the whitepaper, then make sure the team and developer background in managing the project beforehand and also always track their transparency on website and also their social media sites

To identify a good ICOs for investment isn't a tasky challenge, just follow the listed steps below
1. Always go through the project’s white paper
2. Team's qualification
3. The Business model and future development
4. Open cap or Hard cap
5. Checking on bitcointalk.org thread.

The better form of token sale is IEO. For example held on Binance launchpad.
Then you need skilled team that already created working cryptocurrency.
Rich github, active community on all social media sites.
That should be enough.

This is really great. How I wish I've learnt about this two years ago when I was newly participating in bounty hunting. Majority of us have fallen for shit because of lack of access to this information.

This covers all the needed thing in order to differentiate a good ICO from half baked one.  Alas, this does not guarantee that the project will be successful or not.  I have seen several projects that have a good development team but declared bankruptcy over the course of development thus folding the project and leaving the token holder bagholding worthless tokens/coins.

To identify good ICOs for investment, you have to study the project carefully: reading the whitepaper, checking the authenticity and experience of team members, check if the product is good and needed by the crypto community, and visit the website and social media of the project to read the feedback from the community.

Everything you say is actually true.
And that is indeed the way to find a good ICO. But unfortunately all the ways you say don't have a big impact on success. Because ICO is no longer the first choice for investment, many people have moved from ICO to IEO.

[lolak2]

I hope to find the answer of this question, after i lost my money, i invest in ICO, finally, no any ICO invest success.
 

[Starfranko]

For me the easiest  way is to look at the team behind the ico and find out if they have a track record. With with what they said they want to do . With that it should be easy to tell if an ico with do well or not it whether it is a scam

The best part of the article is the Bitcointalk part, here in this forum we can expose who are and who aren't, a project may have everything investors are looking for a project, but if they cannot address issues and concerns raise by members of this forum they are in trouble, take a look at Adab they look very impressive, but they are exposed as a dubious project, and this forum exposed them.

This is the beauty of this forum where members can really help out to verify and identify which one is a potential fraud or not.
You can get recommendations basing on actual users experience and insights which is very helpful.

True. You get the project vetted by highly experienced individuals in the space which are on Bitcointalk. Although there are some few cases of error in the likes of Zeux coin which was wrongly accused to be a scam. Asides that, this forum is the best cryptocurrency forum on the planet and worthy of a daily read

Yes, this forum has indeed been utilized a lot by many people, especially to find information about cryptocurrency, even ETH used to shine in this forum.

In determining a good ICO don't trust them easily but just looking at their rank ,look their backgrounds if it is safe. Viewing whitepaper isn't that bad because it is one of the tactics that can apply when you're determining a good ICO,by looking with it you can see how the ICO work and how does it give what they have been said to their investors.

I agree, sometimes when you think that the project is really good and caught your attention sometimes it turns out to be scam. We can't really guarantee the success of investing in ICOs but we can increase the success rate by researching deeply about a certain project you want to invest. And dont forget to read others review as well but focus more on your own research.

Highlighting the importance of the team behind is very important in figuring the project. You'll be able to work further if you will proceed  supporting the project.  The team will bring success, not only to the finish product but also the right intention, to make sure that everything will be set according to its direction.

Knowing who's the developer will also give some hints to stay and follow every project development, and those things might influence the success of everything.
