Topic: "Hidden" ICO's (Read 202 times)

I think the best platform for very good ICO projects is polkastarter, if you read their rules you will understand that only trusted crypto projects can use such platform to raise funds cos the rules are very strict

The quality of their reviews has decreased greatly, I myself have never used the services of these websites to select new tokens. In my opinion it is better to read some posts from members of this forum than the websites mentioned. Because, the quality of the reviews in this forum will be better than those websites. Indeed, it will be difficult to find "Hidden ICO" as the OP is looking for here, but here we can still find ICO/IDO/IEO or whatever you call it, which has more potential. The important thing is to research before buying as you said. Ratings can be purchased, but personal research cannot be purchased with the 5 stars given on the new project listing website.

What I know is that websites like that are paid to give a good rating, so you need to be careful. Do not easily believe in websites like this, you need to do research first before investing.

Well, we just reminded those people that are still in ICOs. If they see some worth on it, it's their money that's being invested and they should know that they're no longer that popular these days. Many projects have died that went their crowd sale through ICOs and that's all they have to remember.
With those ico websites you've shared, those might be enough for OP to compare and see what's with all of them.

One good platform is Coingecko, I monitor ICOs on it. Actually, nobody hides the information about new projects as it is just pointless. Developers want as many people to be aware of their product as possible, so they run a big advertising campaign usually. This way they attract investors and it means early funding to their project. So you can look for information through out the internet about projects that you see on coinmarket cap and you will find plenty of it.

Im not sure but aside from Binance, Kucoin, gateio and Huobi are the exchanges still launching some ICO, but if you go to dex side, then there are plenty of platform releasing new projects. However these projects are micro one that could be drained by some bots and whales since their liquidity is kinda low and relying on the added liq during launch.

Personally I don't use any web-sites for it. I follow some bloggers on Telegram and they post the information about all new IDOs, ICOs and airdrops, so I am always up do date, so you can also subscribe to some bloggers who monitor all new projects. What is more, you should look for information from different sources, this way, you will be fully informed about all exchanges, roadmaps etc.

There are no hidden ICOs because the team definitely wants the event to be a huge success. The team must have listed it in an aggregator of any of the members mentioned above although some did not filter based on project quality. If you have a favorite exchange to follow lauchpad on, why not create your own launchpad aggregator? You can use gmail to get notified about it.

Just create 1 gmail account then register on all your favorite exchanges just to subscribe to notifications (not to trade). Then "create a new filter" in the settings to handle incoming messages containing the words "launchpad", "launchpool", "spotlight", or whatever term each exchange uses to name the IEO event. You can set filtered messages to a custom folder you created.

Why should you rely on Coinmarketcap alone? If there is an ICO you are interested to participate and coinmarketcap does not provide the timeline or the dates for the private or public sale or listing on exchanges, then you should try to look for the ICO in other sites to know the important dates. You have to remember that ICOs are not listed on a single site alone. What you can find in icobench for example you might not be able to find in coinmarketcap.

back 2014-2015 this forum become one resource to make altcoin known by anyone but today most token doesnt made ann in bitcointalk again 

even ico right know kinda hard to find neither forum or chat community like telegram but usually i know ICO is from well known launchpad you can search on https://www.coingecko.com/en/categories/launchpad or coinmarketcap

but website that like icorank is also helpful

I really haven't seen too many successful projects based on ICOs in recent years, it seems that ICOs are no longer the best form of attracting investors. Looking back on the past, it had so many negatives about scams that I didn't like ICOs.
But if you still need an ICO finder, then I think https://cryptorank.io/ will be a good choice for you. However, always do your research thoroughly before making a decision.

my icodrops are also there. I see that there is an accuracy above 50% of all icos that will be successful, I'm here to see even though icodrops really gives a good place I also suggest to continue to do good analysis before actually being in the ico choice

This kind of website should not be blamed since they are just putting every resource they can and available from them or they got data from other sources.
For hunting such ICOs/IEOs or hidden gems, we should only not rely on one website or platform.

@WalkerIVIV and @AmoreJaz list of suggested for ICO/IEOs or new coins offering are extremely good but there are still a lot of there outside especially on some chains, like Polkadot/Kusama which mostly they are on para chain auctions.

ICOs were famous in the year 2017 to the mid of 2019 until IEO was introduced and this year it was NFTs were made famous and finally no one really pays attention to ICOs nowadays most of them back in the days are not real and just something out of their real plans compared to their roadmaps and their descriptions in the whitepaper. Looks like that's what makes them lose their popularity when they show something different from what they have promoted. I don't know if they still can make any impact this year since they were completely losing people's trust nowadays.

What ICO did you skip?

 And why does it make you have such great faith in ICOs?

I think you need to spend some more ICO research, as we don't have a positive view of ICOs. I don't want to deny that there are many successful projects thanks to ICO, but honestly I think ICO is too buggy now instead you can completely participate in new projects through IDO existing platform.

Unfortunately, today is not the era of ICO again.
We all know that ICO has given us positive and negative sides. So many scam projects and also some were legit.
Many people lose their money because of investing in ICO and now some of the tokens become shitcoins or even dead coins.
We all know although not every ICO project will end the same, right now, the era has been likely ending.

Actually, there are still some new projects based on NFT, games, and also other new projects that are for the short term and get big profits after launching or even launchpads on certain top exchanges.
I will prefer to pick them, moreover, they commonly will have very high pumps after the listing open. And bump, it is likely to rocket to the moon.
But yeah, we cannot deny that this is also very risky because if we miss the moment, we may miss the chance and our money,
but f we have known the cycle and also the moment, we can really enjoy that precious short project that will probably give us high [rofits.
once more, DYOR.

In the past time, I also used these platforms to search and analyze some new projects coming.
But in fact, some of the data are not true and their rates may be able to manipulate, maybe. But yeah, once more. I am sure that even we are using that kind of platform, we must also do a deeper analysis of the projects.

ICO ?
Are you living in 2021?
ICO is too outdated and not too many projects still retain this form to attract capital. Currently IEO, IDO,... are the best ways to attract capital for new projects, but honestly this is not my only concern with this space. Instead of spending time researching I choose projects that are already up and running, but depending on your point of view ICO aren't all that bad, they're just more risky.

that's what i was wondering also, i thought ico projects are already dying and not many investors are into this type of investment. many got burned with the previous ico season. but anyway, there are still several ico-dedicated sites that you can check, better do your own digging as well as i don't know if some of these ico ranking sites are paid or not. because the bias is always there if it is paid

https://icobench.com/

Go to the different ICO sites that list all of the upcoming ICOs. They don't have the same data for everything but you can expand the information that you have.
Especially if you're missing some projects. But wait a minute, are you still into ICOs and there are people who still make money from it? Is it a long time already that they've been no longer preferred by investors because of the NFTs and Defis? There are other better projects that you can invest with your money than putting it on ICOs.

I do and maybe you can use these sites.

https://icodrops.com/ The best ico list site aggregator. So many legit icos were always getting listed on icodrop. I have been also a part of icodrop community members. The best icolist site so far.
https://coinmarketcap.com/ico-calendar/ This is not the best one like icodrop but you can also get the upcoming icos from CMC as well.
https://cryptorank.io/upcoming-ico cryptorank was also offering icolist from the various platform like polkastarter, solana and many more.

You can try to use those sites and i can recommend you icodrop as the best one.
