Topic: A question to all ICO investors. - page 3. (Read 958 times)
You can trust only your own investigation, because almost all the sources that you have listed can be paid directly or via bounty programmes. Investigate the project on your own and you will be able to detect any scam ICO.
The question as a whole is understandable and I think that many people already understand that most of the information is of course on social networks Twitter and youtube, but of course a lot of information is also on bitcointalk, because there are so many useful things that you can find here.
Personally, I do not invest. I stopped that long ago but it's wise, whichever source used, to still check out the web and whitepapers of the project and make other researches too.
What are the biggest sources, channels (YouTube channels/influencers, Twitter accounts/influencers etc, ICO rating websites) online that you use to find out in which ICO to invest in?
I look first in the bounty thread since I only invest in a coin that has a bounty campaign, then I checked if the ICO has a scam report in scam section, then fully check if there are a complaint or anything wrong in their profile and roadmap, this is the hardest time to invest in ICO right now.
Your search for the best ICO should start with researching what is being discussed on popular crypto forums, such as BitcoinTalk. Always research the development team behind any ICO in question. These are the people who are going to be receiving your investment. Never invest in an ICO when their development team lacks the experience to accomplish the tasks required. Start with the team’s social media accounts. Social Media research can reveal a lot about a project’s team. Another important factor to consider when finding the best ICO to invest in is the level of community support within the project. GitHub is a major launching ground for open-sourced projects, such as Bitcoin. It is important that you communicate with the project’s development team. This will help you to determine the level of venture capital (VC) funding the project has already attained. Right now, alot of good ICOs are emerging and the most popular ones that I personally recommend you to invest in are, IBC group and Bitrus Exchange.
I'll check out from ICO ratings sites, I won't trust the ratings or expert comment, I just want to know which ICO is running or coming soon, after that I'll go to bitcointalk, youtube and google search the project to identify whether this project is worth investing.

The most reliable source is Bitcointalk, a legit project will post or create a thread here, this is to let the members comment on the legality and truthfulness of ICO, I don't trust ICO that do not open a thread here, there are a lot of scam ICO that do not have a thread here, so they will not get caught.

All this plus bitcointalk forum . In fact, I consider this forum the most valuable source of information, because there are often discussions that help to get complete and accurate information about projects. ICO ratings and social networks cause me much less confidence, because there basically just goes paid advertisingWhat are the biggest sources, channels (YouTube channels/influencers, Twitter accounts/influencers etc, ICO rating websites) online that you use to find out in which ICO to invest in?

ICO rating sites and this forum .
Sometimes I use the rating sites to search for a certain platform and read their project .
And there are times that I would look up in this forum for something that would get my interest.

It just for reference for me before i decide to invest or not,i think ratting website is useless because they get money from that ico so he can give big score on that project and put it into their website.. My advice is never trust the rating ico..
Its must be first at you, you should take a research about the ICO's you want and also look at their staff behind their project because it actually helps you to trust their project ,so be kind at all.
Ico Rating websites are the big source of ico information available in the market rest all carry small percentage of data but research done by ico ratings are best
Investors need to know full of details by investing an ico which one is the team because it need also to manage the group for making any ico very stable and strong.

For me important to know the team and the product, teams with big experience and background can make something good and strong. Few days ago I found project Elixxir and I'm admire of this. Looks like new private blockchain which will oust projects like Zcash and Enigma. Also they have big investors, so thats what i'm look before invest. 
I know a couple telegram group and chats also, but don't want to write it here, because people should think i PR it.
It’s a thread discussion mate and I don’t think you have done any wrong by sharing knowledge; it is a free world and itslef for the reader to take it or leave it provided it does not go against the rules of the forum.The only challenge I usually have with telegram group is that we have too many groups and every group has a purpose of promoting one particular project agreed on, unlike bitcoin thread that is a general forum, I think this forum should top the list of ICOs to invest in. Most of the ICOs I have invested in has all been through this forum.
If you search the Internet, you will find a lot of information about upcoming projects. But the fact is that each of the channels, experts, etc. will have an opinion and it will be difficult to listen to one of them.
And if we take into account the fact that many of these channels/experts can advertise the paid product, then the meaning of listening to their opinion is reduced to zero. As an example: Ian Balina. 
I usually check on the icodrops website. But that's not enough. The project from which the country, the team, whitepaper are very important factors for me. If I am going to invest, I make a serious search all these.
