ICO and IEO running at same time for same project

[The3max]

It seems that I have never seen the project using both methods of raising capital. However, the pre-sale or pulic sale program on their own website is also an ICO, and when they cannot achieve the sales, they will find another solution, which is IEO.

That does not look effective, the question is for what? raise funds? Or are they currently comparing the number of participants for research? It's different if, their project only hunts for money

[XahidCho]

It's not possible to run both ICO and IEO, may be scammers are doing that. Or the project is a scam.

With the introduction of IEO, there is a great reduction in holding ICO  by the projects.
Even though this is the situation, now a days I have observed that some projects are holding ICO as well as IEO same time. They also don't share the exact amount of funds raised
Isn't it confusing for investors? What are your thoughts? Why projects are using both methods?

Well, I guess people need to start avoiding projects that are not transparent. The lack of transparency is of little use to Crypto space... It is even run contrary to the philosophy. What are they hiding the commonwealth or collective projects for?

The copies are probably clones from scammers or the startups are trying not to put all their eggs in one basket

I think now days IEO is much popular than ICO. If some project have much capability to run IEO then why they still ICO i have no idea. It's must be a fishy thing that project. So be careful before you invest on it.

That's not a good thought for a good projects. A good and trust able project share with their investors a lot for building a trust and honest. So my opinion stay way from that kinda project who don't share some common things at least.

[rdewilde]

This is my first time of hearing such, what I normally hear is, they are conducting IEO in different exchanges or they have abandoned ICO and switched to IEO. I don't think it makes sense though, and even if they should, people might find it hard getting involved as it is confusing from all angles and might lead to negligence of the project by potential investors because they will consider it scam.

[cryptoknightt]

I think if there are projects that run both of these methods at the same time it doesn't matter because both of these methods have a function for raising funds only when IEO will be quickly registered at the exchange place.

[ethereumhunter]

The investor will have their right to choose any of project even if they are running an ICO and IEO at the same time as you mention. The smart investor will only choose the project after they investigate to gather all of the information about the project so then they can decide to invest with them or leave them. It's no big deal for the smart investor because they don't need to invest in any project if they thought that the project is not worth their money and they'd rather wait for a while until they can find the right project.

It's costly to do IEO on top exchanges, that is why they first held an ICO and the funds they've generate from this crowdfunding will be used to do an IEO for top exchange, where they can get more funds and get more investors to look and support this projects.

Developers know so well that many investors prefer to invest using IEO so they want to do it before they launch their platform, it's a good strategy and I have seen so many projects done it, like Dexage and Adab I think has also done it.

[ilhamsugihamin]

in my opinion using both IEO and ICO methods simultaneously can increase sales and also interesting innovations. as long as the project is real and can achieve success then not be confused for investors.

This is a strategy for some IEOs they will say they hit soft cap or finished all rounds of token sale but the truth cannot be seen since the exchange is the one facilitating the token sale. I like about ICO is some token sale is very transparent they even share the report and as well as the token address to see and view by the public what is really the score of their sales. Dont trust so much of some IEO especially on low quality exchange.

[MECH100]

i like the concept of ICO and IEO. because on ICO everyone can buy tokens and on IEO only users of these exchanges

certainly the project was too greedy and they were not confident. if they believe the project can be successful, they will only use one of them. doing IEO and ICO together obviously makes investors confused. if they want to do both, they should do it separately. IEO or ICO first, this makes the project organized.

[caffu chino]

I prefer IEO to ICO. I will not participate in a project that does both. this only adds to the token sales duration and I don't like it. when the market is unstable, it's hard to calm down on projects that have a long duration. This makes me keep thinking if the price of their tokens is not according to predictions and other coins like BTC, ETH and others turn out to be higher, this will make me lose more.

I don’t think there is any project that would be that greedy to run both at the same time, it is absolutely impossible and any project that does that is certainly a scam project, because of the ico market that has been damaged, many developers do not meet up with their target again, which I would call softcap and hardcap, so what they do is to either start with ico, which if they find out that the ico is not moving, they pause it to continue on IEO in that case of harmony. 

Another project that we could see run ICO twice are some project that start from phase 1 fund raising first, and then use it for development to some extent which they come back for the second round for the completed part of the project, so I therefore disagree that both of them would be used same time by a developer who is not s scammer.

[tranduong123]

I think they simply want to make as much money as possible, Many projects sell privately to investors at very low prices then they conduct IEO, When they conduct IEO they can collect more money and be listed. Be wary of non-transparent projects

[key4co.in]

Some projects which did ICO in the past and didn't hit hardcap are now porting to IEO to achieve their crowdfunding goal. An example is Pledgecamp which did ICO and recently IEO on OKEX. The confusing aspect is when start-ups do both ICO and IEO from onset at same time, I don't really think it makes much sense. They could have opted for a reputable exchange that will make their token sale very successful.

[ray_saeed]

For me, it looks like red flag. I dont understand for what they need to do it

Its because there are some people who doesnt like to buy from exchanges. They prefer to buy directly from
the team. Thats the reason the project teams are doing both IEO and ICO to raise funds. Nowadays many are
doing this and there is nothing wrong in that.

I make it a point of duty to keep away from any project simultaneously holding ICO and IEO. For me it looks like a scam. The greed that drives some devs makes them do uncanny things such as that and investors should he weary of them.
