My understanding for IEOs is basically instead of project handling raising funds etc. It will be for an exchange to do so.

An IEO hosted by Yobit or Binance can clearly not be compared. In other words, the exchange gives more credibility to the project regardless of whether it's worth it or not.

Am I the only one who thinks this is actually a bad thing and make people focus on the exchange hosting rather than the actual project and what the team is offering etc.?

No they are not bad. It is a good step in the right direction. Despite the fact they are taken advantage of by exchanges, and not entirely foolproof, yet it still solves the intrinsic problems of cryptocurrency volatility contributed by fraud from project developers.

Personally I don't see it as a bad idea but I am thinking it will be easier to scam people with IEO because many people can easily trust IEO these day than ICO.

That possibility could have happened when many people began to trust the IEO, if we first saw the ICO launch, many people flocked to believe this to get maximum results, but the ICO gradually became a hotbed of fraud like in the last few times, many ico ended in fraud.

you are very right with the opinion. Aside that, if there is any form of hack on the exchange then the ICO funds is lost too. and exchanges will be the determinant for any successful project, what if an exchange rejects a project unfairly, other exchanges will do too and in essence they be the decision makers

Basically, there is no assurance really when a project is going to be successful even though it might be listed through IEOs, ICOS have already done that and the success of a project will going to depend on how good the project is, no matter what exchange will be it into. And that's a fact to consider the best projects on the market.

I think the funds that will be collected will still go for the development of the exchange . so i think ieo's dont really differ from an ico .

Yes . people will only be basing on good exchange so that they will have a confident that they wont be scam and they can also gain confident that their investment will grow .

Yes . you might be the only one that thinks that ieo's are bad because majority of us are agreeing that ieo's are a good alternative to ico's because they are less risky and more profitable .

the best hyped ICO so far is still BTT, good return good trends
https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bittorrent

BTT was not an ICO, it's an IEO, and to prove, you can see it's rating here, https://coincodex.com/ieo/bittorrent-token/
That's just one of the site that gives rating.

You are right, too big focus is on exchanges, as they are supervising the project. We should still focus
on the project and the product itself and the exchange should be secondary,

Investors will decide on that matter. They will choose a platform or investment they will think they will profit.

Quote from: consideritdone on May 04, 2019, 12:01:22 PM

but I can understand that in Bittrex or in Binance people have more confidence.

Of course, these exchanges has a good reputation, people will trust them over ICO who is run by people without proven good reputation.

There are pros and cons why IEOs maybe bad or may not be too bad. On the pro side, Investors will be sure that the tokens they paid for will get listed. On the cons side, focus are much on the tokens instead of the products and the project itself.

OP, it is without doubt that the exchange's name plays a very big influence on the would be standing or believability of a certain IEO. However, the cryptocurrency exchange beforehand, sees to it that they scrutinized enthusiastically every project that desires to launch an IEO on its website. Needless to say, only projects that have a high degree of trustworthiness will be favored in the end. Thus, ensuring the would-be investors of a fraud/scam free projects. Naturally, their good reputation is at-stake if they will be partnering with fraudulent IEOs.
In addition, i always believe that it is our own responsibility and decision if we'll be comfortable in taking part/investing in any IEO's or ICO's. Due diligence on our part is always a must.

I think the IEO is not bad, now investors are starting to get interested in this new program rather than ICO. since the ICO ended with a lot of fraud, some of them thought they preferred to take part in the IEO program. This is very nice.

a lot of Hype coming to this new crowdfunding models called IEO for now
and maybe this IEO will be a good options to start investing in cryptocurrencies for new investors Wink

if the project developers are smart enough im sure they will go to a exchange with credibility, if the intention of developers is to scam people they will go to exchange like yobit.

Not all of these IEO will still reach their target, investors are not looking at the project because its IEO, any shit exchange could come up with an IEO with dramatic whitepaper and register them for investors to buy, but most investors having gotten enough experience would rather participate in IEO from credible exchanges and not just any projects because it’s called IEO.

Reason above is why there are some IEO projects that are still not meeting up with their targets despite the fact they are on IEO platforms, but platforms of baseless exchanges. So great exchanges IEO can really have influence on the market as you expect.

The IEOs are not bad for me. Because you know from the beginning what kind of exchange will organize the IEO of a project. And so you can do research about that exchange and decide whether join or not to join the IEO. In addition, the token will begin to be listed on the exchange regulating the IEO soon. And that's why you can trade with that token without waiting so much time on that excahnge Therefore, IEO can more preferable than ICO for me.

I believe that the IEO was created to revive the dead ICO market, so that the whales could again earn money on new projects. I think that soon IEO will die as well as ICO, and then come up with something new.

Market always has big changes and it never stops. Every year a new investment trend is born and if you seize the opportunity early, the chance to earn high profits will happen. This year is the year for IEO projects and if you can choose the best projects, invest now because the IEO will soon be forgotten later this year before things get worse. I will personally only join IEO at the top 3 exchanges because it will greatly reduce unnecessary risks when participating

at the moment the IEO is busy talking in this forum. I interpret what you say about the credibility of an ico that does an IEO in some exchanges, especially large exchanges such as binance. yes regardless whether or not it is feasible or even can even scam.
in my opinion, however, we will really need regulation to overcome every thing that can involve crypto

IEOs held by binance should be not compared with others exchanger. Every exchanger have their own method when doing analysis about the project. But i agree we should invest on IEOs held by exchanger with good reputation because exchanger with good reputation must be wont take a risk

It would not be popular in the forum if it wasn't the answer of the losing popularity of crowd funding.
When we say crowd funding, in the mind of the people it's ICO, now it has chance, it's through exchanges and the word IEO will be more popular than ICO soon.

When exchanger decide put IEO on the project, i think the exchanger already doing a research and analysis about the project and investor getting more easier to invest. Its guarantee by exchanger that the token or coin will be listed in exchanger and dont have to wait for developers team decision

This is an absolute plus. The exchanges are carried out on their own audit of projects that are going to hold an IEO, and this provides additional guarantees for investors.
