I think ICO websites are useful because they provide the main info about almost any ICO project, but I do not use them for making the decision whether to invest in the project or not.
ICO was the fundraising mechanism that caused a boom back in 2018 but they ran out of trust due to fake involvements. I think it is still pretty good to hodl ICO if your project has what it takes to raise funds. But the trendy option for the crypto startups is rather IEO now. They feel it is a quick way to get the hard cap gained if the exchange is good.

I think this website is very helpful to decide and choose the best ICO to participate . Because it give information and description in different ICO that you want to participate so it is good to make you think or to understand to flow of what industry that you will entrering and learn some tips to avoid losss.
They are only goo to point you towards the direction of knowing which project is trending and what project to invest in, the only thing those ICO projects has been helpful to me for is that, I am able to get the gist on already concluded projects, upcoming projects and projects that are presents in, which makes it very easily for me to be in the loopOne thing I can’t completely rely on their rating to make my investment decision without first researching personally too on those projects, since they collect money to do some of those things and I learnt that majority of them even pay for reviews.

You cannot possibly trust ICO rating website when analyzing a good project because their opinion ate usually biased and controlled by money. Most of these website collect money from projects to get listed on their website, so what is the probability that they won't rank a project very high because it paid more. I have seen situations where ico website ranked a project low and the project was good, in fact it did X10 when it got listed. It is better you do your own research before you decide to invest in any project.

I think this is really not helping investors because most investors are losing huge amount of monies into ICO projects that only got the hype but nothing good came ot of it. Ico websites are just a mere formality and i recommend each investor to do their own research and decide on what project to invest in.

Gone are the days that we should our analysis or conclusion on investing in ICO based on ICO listing sites ratings. Rather, take your time and use your skills to carry out intensive research on such project.Some of these so called sites have becomes scam sites, because they end up confusing investors, most especially those that trust them and their judgement

You are correct. ICO Websites are just guide on what ICO are now active but not a basis of what ICO we should choose. They are paod and we don't know if they are making their reviews bias and in favor of one ICO. We should make our own research on our desired ICO.

I definitely do not trust ico websites ratings while considering a project and any reasonable investor should not do the same. And this is because there are alot of projects that tends not very good but can afford to pay ico websites a lot of money for a good rating. If any investor should consider the rating while investing then he might lose his money. I always recommend that people do a very good personal research before they decide to invest in any project to afford loss or falling for scam.

As you can see by the voting, many people on this forum are realising that those ico rating websites are mostly paid by the projects. I personally don't believe in them.
Exactly most of the ICO review website are paid to hype scam and shit coin's in they review and at that are misleading many investors who believe in they rating. As we have seen in 2018 there was lots of ICO website and at the same time lots of scam ICO at the same time. May 21, 2019, 12:20:34 PM
it can be used as one of the information givers for potential investors about concepts, criteria, roadmaps and several other things related to ico. ico web can help beginner investors choose their choice of ico but still have to do an analysis before determining the ico option through the website.

[colo r=maroon][/b]DO you think ICO websites help investors to choose best ICO to participate.
Now there is a lot of websites rating ICOs, most of this websites rate the ICOs, but in other hand this websites charge fees from ICOs.
Which means that this evaluation may not be accurate, so do you trust these websites? and do you recommend using them?[/b][/color]
I dint trust them, there is nothing they do tan what is being done in this forum, their own is even worst that they use fee to get projects registered which will definitely make them to be biased on their choice of project. This is money speaking here, and they can easily be compromised when they are being offered some money by some projects to get them listed without verification. Now there is a lot of websites rating ICOs, most of this websites rate the ICOs, but in other hand this websites charge fees from ICOs.

Let’s pile up the list of ICOs that has really scammed people so far, and see whether you will not found majority of them also on these ICO websites that claims to be rating projects. I will rather continue to research of projects that I see on bitcointalk forum than rely on the report of those ICO sites.

I am sure that sites such as icobeanch are corrupt. I have not seen any good rated site for free. The best sites are sites with paid subscriptions and recommendations of famous blockchain analysts. Yes, they do it for money but each of these analysts values their reputation.

I only visit ICO rating websites to know trending ICOs and not to help me analyze if a project is legit or not. Most are paid reviews, don't get it twisted. So it's important you do your own research, not just concluding based on the ratings you see on ICO sites. Well, some boast of reputation like ICODROPS, ICOBENCH but please, never rely completely on them.
Indeed, most ICOs rating websites are paid reviews and i am prefer make my own analysis before make investment on ICOs. But now investor looking on IEOs because exchangers already make research about the project before held IEOs. Its good alternative for investor

Not really man. I using some ICO tracking sites just for knowing what kind of ICOs are running now.
Some sites can be paid to promote your own ICO, so it become a paid promotion site, which won't guarantee it is the best ICO to participate.

No way. ICO rating website is a good tool to know about an ICO project because they list every important information on the board. But you can't take any investment decision by seeing their rating. ICObench uses a bot to rate a project, can you imagine? Take those websites as an information giver and research yourself before joining in any ICO.

ICO rating websites are offer paid services and this not a hidden, you can see this services when you visit ico rating websites.
I thought so but I don't have any evidences so I won't say like what you said, they might just apply fee for listing but there is no proof that a project will get a high rating by paying listing fee. So do you have any evidences to prove your argument? 
May 19, 2019, 06:41:09 PM
For ico websites doesnt help me or convince me to invest onto one ico.I mainly use this websites to see whats hot in ico market when im joining ico i preffer looking for ICO here in the forum because it provides you more info compared to whats listed on many ico websites out there

In my opinion I think the use of ICO rating website should be simply to follow hypes.. I think the rating system is flawed and biased most especially with this raters appearing as project advisors in the crypto space..
May 19, 2019, 05:33:47 PM
I don't think it a good idea for any investor to allow an ICO website to influence his investment decision on an ICO. Those websites are just paid media advertising outlets and nothing more!
