Usually when I invest, I look whether the project has collected software cap or how much more the project lacks before it, this is if the software cap is not yet assembled! Just if the project does not collect the software cap, the project will not be able to continue its existence
I realize the failed projects often set softcap very high. When they can not recognize the real value of their project.
This makes investors worried when the project does not reach the softcap

What is the difference of hard cap to soft cap? Did we base on this if we are going to invest in altcoins? Share your comments.
Soft cap and a Hard cap, both of which are very important. The soft cap is a minimum token sales and if the sales achievement of hard cap maximum token. If the project could reach sales of both were sure this project is very good. And ICO is always struggling to find investors so that the target could be achieved sales.

Soft cap is the minimum limit of an ico and hard cap is the maximum limit of an ico, if the project has reached the soft cap it is a good start because to reach the hard stamp it must be easier although it also takes time, and when the soft cap is not reached of course to reaching hard cap will be even more difficult

Putting into ICOs with achieved delicate top is less unsafe than putting into the tasks that are scarcely upheld by invsetors. You are sheltered as the organization's begin is as of now anchored. On the off chance that it achieves Hard Cap-congrats, the undertaking can begin to do each progression that they have arranged.

Yes, I look at this when investing in an ICO, I always want to be sure that they would reach their fund raising goal before I invest my own money, it always works for me.
If the project does not collect a soft cap, then the tokens must be returned to investors. I know one project, which was originally planned to collect software cap 1000 ETH, and then realized that it would not work and reduced it to 150 ETH and recognized ICO held! It's cheating!
Can consider it cheating if the soft cap was changed just because the investment is too low. If it's not achieved then it's not achieved, changing the soft cap during the ICO to break the promise that if soft cap not reached all money will be returned is just plain stupid, it's like they make a rules and break it themself anyway. 
Why is there no distribution if softcap can not be reached?
For example, SoftCap is set at $ 10 million. But the project has collected $ 9 million. is not this enough money collected? Why is the project stopped and they dont pay bounties?

I would not call it as cheating. They were unable to collect the required amount of ETH as softcap and therefore they reduced the cap and burnt the remaining tokens. Anyone would have done the same.
