Great guide trying to save some people from investing in "only beautiful words".
Problem is you can't verify most of the ico's because they are only empty promises. You can't verify promise, it will be delivered or not.
In most cases the more "great" and "revolutionary" idea, the more its a scam warning should be in ur head.

thank you, and it's true that it's difficult to verify. one can take a big risk and invest, or do their research as well as possible and realise that it's still a risk!

hmph..

Idea and team thats the point, but some projects with great idea still scamming investor. The most important is not how big idea from projects. But, research by yourself about the projects is number 1 before decide to join ICO.

The idea is in fact the last thing I look at because if there is no experienced team, roadmap, whitepaper etc. The idea is itself useless, just an idea.

good point. If the project is lead by an inexperienced team or if the direction of the project is not articulated, then, no matter how good the idea is, the whole thing would appear unstable.

I think, it will be well-founded doubts. And it is important who will judge.

It's also important to consider the project leader(s) I think, they could have a great and experienced team of programmers, but someone usually needs to be in control making each aspect of a project work as expected..
otherwise, it might end like REQ(great programmers, not so much team leading? Huh

)

I think you can try to participate in ICO's which listed on ICOBench/ICOList more than 4. I also like projects by Amazix team which have interesting projects: Shivom, Helbiz,CountingHouse,CoolCousin

That's a really good point, I will add that to the thread too, regarding amazix.
They do their own 'vetting' of a project to determine whether it's legit.

I love these posts, with real value for the crypto community, but mainly for newcomers, like me, who are the ones who get the most hits when we start.

I agree with the points to be reviewed but in another order, the product-idea and the team-advisors are the main thing for me and then the distribution of tokens, whitepaper-roadmap.
Something I like about some projects is that they come from a company that is already running and something that turns on my alerts are the big discounts.

I didn't mean to say in which order things are prioritized, the idea and team are definitely the main thing!
The whitepaper and roadmap are in a way very important, to show that they have a clear idea and know how to achieve it, but,
they might just not be very good at putting out information? I like your order priority. It seems like a reliable way.

Any good sites or blogs to read about icos and other opinions?

Do you mean sites to find a good investment? I'm not sure where one could go, there's sites like icobench,
and there's lots of youtubers, I personally try to find projects that are mentioned in passing on forums and stuff(so not actively shilled),
and then investigate the project Cheesy

Great article. I personally focused on Project team than anything because if the project team is weak, most probably project must be failed. I found good ICO that is fulfil all factors according to your article facts. Guarium( https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--3293429 ) is that ICO project and think it will a good investment.

I take a strong stand with the roadmap before investing in an ICO. The roadmap is the only guide to determine when your money will start yielding for you. A roadmap will indicate the time the project will lunch and if the time between ICO and project lunch is far, then forget it I won't venture.

in analization of an ICO, always consider the team members rather than the idea..

Seems like you didn't really read as I adress that topic further down! Cheesy

if you are investing of a blockchain project..

a testnet that could back up their claim is a really good prooject to invest...

Very true, any type of test version is great, but it's very common, I'd even say it's the case for the majority of ICOs, to not really have that!
But, early investing = cheaper = might be more rewarding, or wait around for a test version but price usually rises for those kind of releases.
