Where do you look for information about new project/coin?

[examplens]

Here is how Im doing it: 

1. DYOR - always following my gut.

2. Check out website of project. Included in reading white pepper, see roadmap. 

3. Check out the project's social media.

I saw a list like this many times. But it seems to me that such lists are not particularly useful because they only offer some generic forms, even for a beginner, something written superficially as this can only discourage him.
What will happen when you visit the website or social media? What should be paid attention to during DYOR, nice colour or logo?
I would like to see some interesting tips on how to filter all of that information in order to make the right decision.

Because certain scammers try to make their introductions appear professional and the material they give is pretty accurate on peoples' initial impressions, there are situations when you cannot spot unfavorable information on their website or whitepaper. So, in order to determine their authenticity, you should look for their identity first because there is a good probability that you will be included in a possible project if they are open about who is really behind the initiative and are clear about it. Additionally, look for feedback in this topic as there are insights from helpful suggestions made by other forum users. It is good to check their reviews of their coin as this will help us decide whether to invest in those new projects or coins or not.

How about you, would you add something to my list?

Yes i will add some more information which will be useful for researching any new project. you have already told about project social media accounts that how much followers have and how many are active there. sometimes project twitter account has fake like and Comment. you can see the comments subject. second you have to check wheather project twitter account is followed by any big exchange or any big other project which has any partnership with researching project.

Most project team are fake and photos are taken from stock photos. for checking this one should use google to check this. White paper checking is also helpful. you have to check wheather they have real project having their own idea and service or they just copy paste from other big projects. for this purpose you can use pilgrism tool to investigate white paper uniqueness.

When investing, it's always important to do some research. I see there are a lot of scammers out there, and sometimes it's hard to say whether a project is legit; only time will tell.

I'm glad so many people have this awareness of scammers. And that you have to be careful about what you invest in.

You can easily get idea about any new project from their website link. After entering their website, various information related to the project is nicely provided on the website.  Various information related to the project such as various information about the project's ICO, various information regarding the project's investment, various information regarding the project's team, various information about the project's road map, when the project will be listed on any exchange, you will get various information on the website of those projects.

Yes, you can learn a lot from the project website. But it's good to find different sources of information when you want to invest in something. Also, it is good to know what people are talking about it through, e.g., social media.

Those are great steps to take when considering an investment opportunity! Here are a few additional things you may want to consider:

Look at the team behind the project - Who are the founders and developers? Do they have a good track record in the industry? Do they have experience in successfully launching and maintaining similar projects?

Analyze the market and competition - What is the market demand for the product or service the project is offering? Are there already established competitors? What sets this project apart from its competitors?

Examine the tokenomics - How is the project's token designed? What is the total supply and circulating supply? What is the token's use case? How is it integrated into the project's ecosystem?

Check for community support - Is there an active and engaged community supporting the project? What are their thoughts and opinions on the project's development and progress?

By considering these additional factors, you can gain a deeper understanding of the project's potential and make a more informed decision on whether to invest or not.

In addition to your details, I will do the competitor analysis(Financial Evaluation) for the project. Also, check the tokenomics of the project.

Yes, you can learn a lot from the project website. But it's good to find different sources of information when you want to invest in something. Also, it is good to know what people are talking about it through, e.g., social media.

I tend to agree but make sure the group is genuine.
I've done this before, I joined a bounty campaign such as social media and I followed the progress of the project but I saw in their social media don't have genuine members, there was no clear engagement and it should have been discussion engagement on their social media profiles.   Ask yourself, "are there active discussions and responses from the community, or is it just a one-way conversation?", and lastly, check if their followers and engagement are genuine or if they have purchased fake followers or engagement, same as Twitter or more worse Telegram.

So you must be careful also what you're following on social media.

Well, that has become a way for projects to show the newcomers to their project that they are actually active and got investors and users on their social platforms. For Twitter, they buy followers which is a straightforward way of showing that a project has got a community, but when it comes to Telegram, they have a different approach for that.

I know since I've seen and experienced it, some projects hire chatters that will stay active in the Telegram group and chat with each other just to show the investors or customers that the project is active.

New projects give very good profit but very difficult to justify. But to get basic information about any new project or currency visit their official websites and observe their activities.Bitcointalk is the best platform to know about the new project.it's a good thing to make DYOR. New coins only create a lot of hype in the beginning and then most of them go down badly.It is very important to justify who is associated with any project teams.  Monitor how active their social media activities are and the teams experience.

[Bitcoin_people]

The steps you follow to invest in new projects are really amazing. I think this method is very reliable as you judge the project objectively by searching for information.  If you want to invest in a new project, you must analyze the website, whitepaper, various social media of the project, and the roadmap. Check everything thoroughly before you invest. In between, there are some good projects that make promises, then break those promises, and eventually become project scams. So you know about good projects and later analyze and evaluate everything and then invest.

Bitcointalk is not the best place to find out if a project is good or bad since everyone is allowed to post or announce their project here without any restrictions or anything, it is just that if users of the forum provide their views on the project which one can use to evaluate the authenticity of the project whether it is good or not.

Following a project closely will surely provide one with an idea about how it is and how it will be in the future since their behaviour can show their professionalism which is the most important thing for a project to succeed.

I think there are many factors to consider, information, knowledge and research, if you want to invest in new and good crypto projects for the future, I think what you said about these three points regarding new projects, of course there is some truth.

But more importantly, before you invest in a new project, there are six other elements you should add.
Example:
.The following 6 ways cover both methods, giving you the option to pick which approach suits you best.

1. Go to coingecko.com to research industries.
2. Simply ask others for their recommendations.
3. Check websites that promote airdrops
4. Check websites listing upcoming crypto ICOs
5. Research the listings on crypto launchpads
6. Coingecko discover function

That's six other additions, in case you want to add information about a new project, before making an investment.

First, I will do a fundamental analysis of their project. Then do an onchain analysis and sentimental analysis. So you will get more idea about that after doing those three analyses.

So you must be careful also what you're following on social media.

To check if followers of a project are organic on a social media is a good measure to avoid scams. This way you can relatively trace the profile of the investors of that project: they can be dived into the technical aspect of cryptocurrency, they can be wealthy investors, average crypto investors, just bounty hunters or even bots, that is the worst of the cases, meaning that project must be put aside at all costs.

On the other hand, to have a loyal base of followers isn't always a positive sign, because it turns into a cult where reason and logic are neglected in order to raise the idolatry for the project or the person behind it. Projects like this must be also avoided. An example is the Celsius, plus CEL token fiasco.

[ItsCrafty]

community power is main thing while researching any coin. Pepe and Floki both tokens have no information about CEO, both are just meme coin, no future use but community demand make it possible for both coins to be listed in big exchanges(Binance, Kucoin, bybit and all other major exchange) and people made Profit from 2x to 100x.

The point is nowadays we should look for opportunity rather than just look for team, roadmap and tokenomics etc. we have no relationship with any coin. we want just to increase our portfolio. DOT, Solona,matic are big projects having big usecase, roadmap and team but ratio if price growth is very low and people want volatile coins so we should also research public demand and then invest wisely.

Before those six methods, one should first confirm if the project is legit, good enough for investing, or just a waste of time and money, and they can't really evaluate that using these methods. One should use their official website and other channels to research the project and read everything they can related to it and what it has got to offer.

A lot of projects that are useless basically and don't have any strong fundamentals make it to airdrop and ICO websites and even get added to websites like CoinMarketCap and Coingecko, etc. A lot of meme coins manage to do that but they are not really good projects at all.

You shouldn't blamed those sites for listing those project you're seeing on their platforms. You have to understand that those are just sites meant for tracking of cryptocurrency and not investment guidelines sites. Anybody investing in a project just because they're listed on those sites are making a very big mistake. Coinmarketcap was built to track cryptocurrencies as you can see from their website introduction. Memecoins, shitcoins or any token built on the blockchain is a cryptocurency and they're right for listing them, these sites make getting information about this project easier for investors to do their research on them. I'll recommend using coingecko over coinmarketcap since coinmarketcap has been bought by Binance exchange and anything they touch gets too centralized.

Also just because projects are listed on ICO tracking sites doesn't make them good projects for investment or are we forgetting to that those sites run a business as such they can accept anything provided those project can pay their fees. Nevertheless they're not wrong for listing those project but where they're making a mistake is the rating they give to the project since investors depend on their rating system to make investments into the projects. Irrespective of that, as a serious investor, you shouldn't be depending on anybody or any sites to make your investments. You should learn to do your personal research then invest so you have no one to blame when it fails.

Everyone uses these three factors you provide to define a new project. But I think these three factors are never enough to select a project. How active is the team there? How are they going forward with their projects? All these factors must be considered. All scammed schemes are designed in such a way that we can never declare them as scams at the initial stage by surveying these three factors. Scammers will create such a beautiful road map and their social media will be very high level which we will not catch very easily. Analyzing new projects is too risky for me. There are still many people who take risks and achieve great success for some time by taking risks. We all know investing is a risky business. If you don't take risks in life, you will never succeed in investing.
