Yes, but not su much, the most part of the ICOs here use etherium adresses. Why don't you want create ETH adress? It takes 2 minutes from you and esely to create and usage. Probably you got your own reasons.

You need an ethereum address if the ICO is an erc2.0 token which is based on the ethereum blockchain. As the foundation of the token is built using ethereum programming, the mainnet can only process using eth address. However, there exist ICO which does not use eth erc 2.0 token. The most recent ICO red pulse use neo network instead and you have to buy using neo and you need to have a neo address instead. There is also nem ICO like dimcoin and comsa.

If you are going to apply any new ICO which issue ERC20 tokens then it is mandatory to have a ethereum wallet otherwise how the developer send you purchased tokens. Myetherwallet is the best ETH wallet to get ERC20 tokens as no exchange wallet can get ERC20 tokens.

As many people have noted it depends on the specific ICO.

ICO's which use Ethereum smart contracts will require that you have an Ethereum address. Others use different cryptocurrencies like Waves.

Setting up an Ethereum address is relatively easy once you have done it once. I would suggest MyEtherWallet which is very user friendly.

Yes you can it was depends on what kind of campaign you joining if you join in some campaign that not under in etherium contract then you have to download there wallet first before you can join jut like any other campaign for me etherium is more easy  so i suggesting my ether wallet

there is no hassle regarding on how you can make account on my ether wallet so if i were you, try to make ethereum wallet yes let say there is some or you can participate with some in some ICO even if you dont have eth address but as i told there is no hassle on making your account so just make it.

Most ICO projects requires ethereum address for them to send your share. So it's better to make an account especially when it is required on the project you wished to participate.

Yes it depends on the project.

But 99% of ICO's require ETH, it's just the cryptocurrency that is used.

to simply follow and listen to ICO the answer is "you do not need to have ETh Address". but if you want to invest in ICO, the answer is "Very necessary".

yes indeed, most ICO always need an ethereum address to make a payment. but there are also some ICOs that accept the wallet address other than ethereum. it all depends on the ICO rules.
Not dpeend on the ICO rules but depend on whether the ICO plan to use ethereum smart contract, waves', or making their own blockchain. especially a coin that's independent from bitcoin or eth or waves by creating their own blockchain often accept so many altcoin as their payment method, not relying to the smart contract only.

You should know first if the ICO you are going to join are distributing ERC20 tokens. But not all the ICO's are depending on it and they have their very own wallet address. My friendly tip to you, before investing to an ICO learn to know more on what type of token they are going to distribute and it's not normal that you will invest into them without any enough background on what you are getting through.
Besides people need to know in which of the two ethereums the project is being created, I have seen people making the mistake of giving an ETC address when a ETH address was needed and it seems those people lost their coins forever so we need to be cautious about that.

Most of the new ICOs are using the ERC20 tokens based in ETH that's why you need a ETH wallet compatible with ERC20 to receive those tokens. Some ICOs also create their own wallets so they don't require a ETH address, but 90% of the new ICOs are using ERC20 as its way easy and cost efficient than creating their own wallet.

Yes you can participate in ICO with other besides Ethereum address, like WAVES. this depends on the ICO project rules and what platforms are used to collect funds and pay back with tokens to the investors. But most ICO now use the Myetherwallet platform. And also there are some who use platform orderbooks.io for their token contribution.

I'm still trying to understand what that OP asks. why it complicates self, If he does not want to create an ETH address why not stay away from ICOs that is in the area ERC20 Although it will be difficult, as I see mostly ICO coming using ETH however not all in ETH there are still that others
It would be nice if the op gave to us an explanation of why he is so against having an ETH address especially if we take into account the fact that creating one is very easy and it does not take any effort to create one especially if you use a wallet like my ether wallet.

Well yeah, even a child that knows how to read can make their own wallet address.
Like don't get me wrong with this as I'm just being honest.
Anyway, it all depends on the ICO your joining, their token depends on which platform they choose to use.
Pick ICO that have waves platform so you'll not need to bother to create an eth address but you'll just find it hard to find as many ICO are base on ethereum platform.
No problem I understand you completely, creating an ETH wallet is as simple as creating an email, you just need to save your address and that is it, then you can buy any ico that you want that is based in Ethereum, personally when it comes to profits as long as the project is good I do not mind the platform that is using for its ico.

it seems that Etherium address is needed now, because very many ico projects that use etherium as their payment platform, but waves also not lose competitiveness

Of course if you follow an ICO project that uses platform waves, otherwise if you join an ICO project that uses Ethereum platform.
