1. The project had an original idea and a sound business model.
2. The project had released a working product or may have already had an MVP right from the start.
3. The project had an active Github repository.
4. The development team are very capable in developing the product.
5. The team's identities are verifiable and publicly known.
6. The project have a realistic roadmap.
7. The team give utmost importance to their promises and perform deliverables in time.
8. The team are exercising enough transparency on project related matters.
9. The the project's tokenomics are excellent and justifiable.
10. The project have positive peer reviews among trustworthy members of the community.

Ooops! Btw, I forgot to include one of the most important characteristic which I think is critical for a project to become successful and that is the project team must have a very good financial planning! Because I believe that assuming those ten items listed previously are satisfied with, in the end, the project will still falter just like what happened to most projects after the crypto winter of 2018. Imho.

true, I think that many icos were holding the eth they received at all time highs. It is rare to see a project with all these details resolved, unfortunately. And even an original idea needs to be well executed, many projects fail here. They need a MVP from the start and bring real users to test.

successful ICOS are almost all out, now there are no such. the most important factor is a conscientious team that does not run away with money and develops a product. now there is a lot of fraud, I do not trust ICO projects at all

We have noticed that a lot of successful ICOs have exhibited common factors. One of these is their use of hype.

Surprisingly, I'd actually agree with this statement.

As Machiavellian as it sounds, what a lot of good projects struggle with is their PR and the presentation of their project, which eventually leads to no community interest and an eventual decline in total market engagement with their coin.

A successful project MUST have a good marketing team to back up an already good product, and you'll see that being the case with EOS, TRON, etc. But don't forget that a solid WP, roadmap, and team are all prerequisites.

So, you mentioned 5 things that became an ICO success, but you mentioned only two. And what is your problem here at the ICO? Grin

The roadmap is only planning them based on time. Roadmap to prove the seriousness of project developers in completing their projects. It is not a measure of whether the project is successful or not.

Did you just say hype? You're wrong man. There is nothing like hype when it comes to a project being successful. These days I have seen a lot of projects that get hyped and at the end they turn out to be a failure, that's why you have to be very careful. Avoid hype project, do your own proper research and don't be too quick to believe what people has to say because some of them are paid to hype fake projects.

If you want to know whether a project is going to be successful you should first of all check the whitepaper, that's the first thing almost everyone checks when they see a project online. The next thing you should check is their team. There are some projects that claim team members that are in no affiliation with the project at hand. You should do more research even after that, and also you should consider their public information. If they are hiding information that should be available to investors, then there is something wrong.

Being successful has nothing to do with hype, it's mainly fake projects that gets hyped and at the end you will come to realize that it's not worth it. You have to be careful and trust whatever you see at first glance.

I agree with that, we can say that the market in 2017 is all about hype but right now investors have learned in their past mistake. They will not invest in a certain project due to hype. They already learn how to make their own due diligence in selecting the best projects who have a legit team and viable product.

Consistency is what an ICO need in order to be successful. In my opinion, though there's allot of ICO's running in the market eveytime, what they need is to be able to follow their whitepaper and roadmap. changing much of their information affects mainly the trust of the investors. If they are going to be consistent, people will follow, as so success in their business.

Did you say 5 things above? Where are they? I don't see the explanation.
There are many things to support the success of an ICO. Quality of the team members, MVPs, marketing strategy, funds, strong community, and others. Which one do you think the common things?

this applies in the past, just like in 2017
but for now, its hard to find a good and succesful ICO project mate
most of project move from ICO to IEO known as an evolution on crowdfunding methode in crypto industry my friend
maybe in the future a new methode to collect money from investors will show up after the hype on IEO ended

Maybe not good moment right now with ICOs because almost ICO have listed at exchange market always lower price than coin sell on ICO, price fantastic drop lower than 50% than coin when ICO time, maybe you can take rest a moment with ICOs investment and use your money only for trading with altcoin.

IMO, those conditions previously mentioned can be generally applied in one way or the other to all crypto projects regardless on what type of funding activity they have conducted whether its an ICO, IEO or STO respectively.

Though I know those conditions or list looks like very idealistic, and I assume those are the things that needs to be realized first, but in reality, I doubt those conditions could ever be satisfied all at once since I understand that no project is perfect! Initially, we could just use them as a criteria or use them to identify signs or measure a project's probability of success to guide us accordingly.

i think there has to be a good project as first which actually draw what the move about the product would be , nd then comes the team who will drive this ideas to reality by actualising the dream but identify the problem and be able to come up with solution which is the main idea of it all why the community also do a lot more about it be able to survive by buying and selling for the purpose in whch it is built and the final stage is the exchange which has to be a very great and good one that can generate volume for the coin to boom.

OP didn't bother to specify the 5 things successful ICO's have in common as per his thread title. Anyway, here is my list which I think are the characteristics successful ICO's have in common:

1. The project had an original idea and a sound business model.
2. The project had released a working product or may have already had an MVP right from the start.
3. The project had an active Github repository.
4. The development team are very capable in developing the product.
5. The team's identities are verifiable and publicly known.
6. The project have a realistic roadmap.
7. The team give utmost importance to their promises and perform deliverables in time.
8. The team are exercising enough transparency on project related matters.
9. The the project's tokenomics are excellent and justifiable.
10. The project have positive peer reviews among trustworthy members of the community.

Actually these are the answers to my previous post - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.51103208 related to criteria in determining the viability of an ICO.

This is pretty much the sum total of everything. ICOs will have all of these ten points for them to at least come up to the surface amidst high competition in the ICO/IEO market. Although at this particular point, originality is hard to find. There are so many projects that are copies of existing ones. But it does not mean that they are already doomed to fail. They could actually improve an existing project to a certain point that their version is going to be the preferred one. Finally, marketing matters. Hype is an effective tool. Even good projects could fail without these.

that's 10.

also some of them have great advisors that is known to the community even before their project was announced. the concept of the project is very doable that online users can possibly make use of it once the product is launched. but then all of them even the not successful ICO team had in common with the team who successfully did their ICO, they all want MONEY!

Ooops! Btw, I forgot to include one of the most important characteristic which I think is critical for a project to become successful and that is the project team must have a very good financial planning!

what links/blogs are they talking about ? did you edit your post op ? but back on the topic , hype is important because hype shows that you have a good budget to promote your project and not only that but hype occurs when people notice and get attracted to your project but not all those who hyped have becamed succesful , others still failed after the hyped subsided . id say that most hyped projects are only for temporary but look at those old projects , they arent hype but they are still on the limelight . about the second one which is detailed presentation ? that is important but that can be easily faked

Hype is not the factor because it has already generated from how icos can do a good marketing to spread the words among the crypto users.
but you can do a better thing rather than to create a discussiong thread for shilling purpose only.
We have a lot of factors just like small hardcap, MVP and many more.

IMO, 5 other things that need to be seen to determine whether a project is successful or not.

1. New concepts that are needed now
2. A strong, experienced, active, and professional team.
3. Clear whitepaper and roadmap
4. Having/developing a product
5 And have strong partners in terms of markets and others.

out of those 5 things, I think those are things that are usually noticed.

however, I think there are very many criteria that need to be considered in a project.

What ever their common I don't care about that because maybe even the scam ICO have that and for sure they many blind investors until now are losing their money because they still investing to ICO. But maybe this is a big help them for them but there is no specific details that the ICO are possible to become successful. Just follow your instinct that you think what ICO is good.
