Amm, just switch on your mind and not to invest in scam ICOs is the best way:)It`s not so difficult to check out which project is scam,especially now,when popularity of ICO slows down.
ICO holders can send coins to you,they even can make smart contracts, own blockchain,nice pr-campaign, etc, but whatever easily steal our money and after sending useless tokens go away

KYC is really useless for crypto currency traders.

Well, this is so true for me. It was a big dilemma for us. Crypto world should bring the anonymity in the first place.
But more scammers coming in every day, so many ICO or exchanges want to prevent that by using KYC.

Let ICO holders automatically send coins to your Ethereum wallet just after receiving your Ethereum

Just like, betrium.co is doing.

I believed that the best way is to screen out scam ICO by have it regulated by the government in this way the government well required the ICO owners to submit necessary documents for them to have permit to do business and also know your costumer which is commonly called as KYC is must be always in effect.
Honestly, I agree your idea. I mean, we need a board to eliminate scammers. But, most people in crypto world will disagree with this idea. Because it would be as a centralized system. And government will put some taxes for every ICO. And it's not working, I think.

This won't prevent a scam from happening.  Yes, you may receive the tokens you purchased but if the team abandoned the project and runs away with your money, these tokens you have received are worthless.

Sometimes it is not about the ICO projects who are demanding the KYC's from us but its about the regional rules and regulations who are making this happen. I mean they are the one who trying to get the strict rules amended for such crypto projects. As result of this ICO has to present the KYC and show that they are doing everything in legal way.

Apart from this they are trying to get devoid of the scams also which are being done because of multi-accounts everywhere. This leads to bad reputation and false investment. Thus having KYC limits the user load and make it legit one too.

Report them to the authorities, use social media to post warnings about the ICO and don't forget to provide concrete evidences to support your claims or create a website for posting the list of ICO's that are considered scams.

Won't work, scams are always vanish right after they been detected at scamming. Vanishing with all of your money by the way
I think we need better smart-contract protocols on blockchain platforms which host ICOs to better protect investors from total loss of funds. Like releasing of investors funds in phases: Q1, Q2, Q3 & Q4

Look into airdrop for Marinecoin. You get 20000 coins for every proof of promotion. you cant lose anything. Marinecoin this is a crypto currency. This is really a time tested, dev-less block chain technology community member. Easy to use block chain code. Community backed. By ensuring the widest fair distribution of the coin increases the likelihood of a broader base of adoption of this crypto currency. It has fast block chain transactions and is dev-less. https://marineco.in to register + https://marineco.in/ico for ICO.

The best advice is to do your own research. Scammers will never quit. The best advice is to call out the scams as soon as possible to limit the number of suckers they can hook.

The most common failures are startups, associated with the development of block-based platforms and operating systems based on the blockbuster. To adequately assess the prospects of such projects can only be a few, so choose the one that really shoots, the newcomer will be difficult. In addition, competition in these areas is so high that many developers simply do not have the competence and resources to break into the market. Therefore, it is better for ordinary investors to immediately cut off such projects.

Read the whitepaper and see if the ICO has a good project. Don't invest into something without researching

we cannot stop those scammers. even if there is an easy way, we cant still stop them to scam other people. the only thing we can do is to become strict when choosing an ICO to invest with.

in my opinion, the fraud that happens will be difficult to remove. So, what needs to be done is research and learn from someone who has experienced. The point is always to be careful not to go in but having someone experienced will be the best way.

It can be very difficult to tell which ICO is a scam and the one that isn't, The only way one can effectively do this however is through thorough research into the ICO,exhausting all the possible information there is about the ICO

To identify these fraudulent ICOs, you should investigate whether the ICO community is large, or you can find out who the founder of the ICO is and should trust these people. Choose wisely because there are so many new ICOs every day

I think the best way to prevent scam is the regulation of the concerned government. If there would be strict laws implemented regarding the establishment of ICOs maybe they will be careful enough in transcting business with their customers.

Yes I don't see crypto on KYC anymore. I mean crypto is about anonymity of holders but taking KYC is very ironic. And All ICOs I suggest must have a real transparency for all to let investors and bounty hunters monitor the status of the project. Keeping  all the data in private is just a greater possibility that the end-customers will think negative whether scam of failure.
