The more I see different ICO, the stronger it seems to me that success or failure depends on things as something little related with white paper. Everyone is looking at a site and marketing.

I only do that if the hype on that ICO is too high and I'm curious to know if it will reflect on their whitepaper. If they can't even put up a decent whitepaper then I'll never bother to read it.

Let be real. How many of you guys actually read the whitepaper? I read whitepaper sometimes, but reading multiple of them can be a burden and a headache. Do you guys got any tips on getting through whitepaper a little faster. It killing a lot of time. Thank.

I don’t think that whitepaper is important too much. More interesting and useful to see the who are authors of the project. What are their experience? Is it successful. This is really very important.

From a developers view:
comparing the number of page visits for our ICO and the number of sign ups for getting whitelisted to the number of downloads of the whitepaper it seems that less than 15% of the people who sign up for the ICO do read the whitepaper.
Also we see a lot of questions on our Telegram channel that are covered in the whitepaper, so people clearly do not invest the time to read a 30+ page document.

It seems reading the whitepaper is a bit like reading the instructions/manual that come with a new TV or IKEA shelf - nobody does it  Grin
I do understand this: If I only invest minimum contribution I not always read the whole whitepaper, but if I invest a lot, I always read it.

We as Coins4Favors team have therefore created a Onepager which gives people a chance to review the idea, the details of the ICO, roadmap and team in a few minutes.

Once interested and in need of more information they can always go to the webpage and read the full whitepaper or ask more questions on the telegram channel.

Wishing everyone a great Sunday

I have another question: how can you invest your money (I am sure you were working very hard to earn it) if you do not read the Whitepaper? If you miss it, you simply throw out your cryptocurrency or fiat.

Reading a white paper is as crucial as buying the crypto. If you are not reading the whitepaper, do not even bother investing that company. Just like the market itself, everything is based on speculation but make informed decisions rather than going just off speculation.

Not saying that speculation isn't good. Listen to it but base your judgement on what you read and see.

Well, I want to be honest. I don't have the time to go through all the white-papers and there are thousands of them out there. I have read only two white-papers till now. Those of Deep Onion and Denarius. And even then, I was in a hurry and went through the documents very quickly.

Nope because I don't diddle around in ICOs anymore. I remember those headache days of having to read whitepaper, ah how I thought I was living the dream. My goodness I couldn't have been more wrong, but kudos to those who have the heart to read these things. Lastly it is important to know I am not a technical person or coder, so getting through these papers is quite confusing to put it mildly.

I know some people who watch the market trends and I know some people who read white papers. Those that do both have the highest rate of success. Those who read the white paper only tend to have more success than people who invest based only off the market trends.

First thing I do is look at the Token/coin metrics, then the team behind it and if Im still interested only then  will I go on to read the white paper.  I do it that way as If the token metrics are unsuitable to me, and the team is weak then Im not going to invest so the white paper is irrelevant. Thats just my way of doing it.

yes i did so many times. but if you are an investor and not interested about the technology of the ico, really you dont have to read all the whitepaper. it is not so much important to read all. you should check the important parts like a summary of the idea, team, token sale details etc.

In theory is a good idea to read all you have at your disposal to know the company you're thinking to invest in.
But I've the impression that all whitepapers are made with the same template, and in any case you can't verify the accuracy of the statements.
So, read it, but try to have different source of information before to put your money somewhere.

Yes of course!
I read whitepaper before I make attempt to invest in any ICO, I see it as part of research i need to make before I contribute.
Investor should try to know the goal of any projects he want to invest and how efficient the devs teams are, which are all included in the whitepaper.

If you want your money to be in the right place and not in a scammers hand, then take the pain to read through white papers. Going through the entire white paper should be your first step in investing on any ICO!

If reading the entire thing is a burden for you, I'd suggest read the Executive Summary first. They usually capture every important info they want investors to know. These summaries are usually a page long. With that if you find something interesting and is worth more of your time, then you can decide to delve into it further. Truth is that as serious investor you need to read them, especially now that a lot of scams are happening. It helps you distinguish valuable/real projects from the rest.
