I settle on the task, that is behind the ICO. It must be a task, that I can remain behind like medicinal services, social ventures or sunlight based power organization or new creative advancements. At that point I look to the ICO group and the ventures, that are furnished with the ICO.

Read the whitepaper and see if their project is viable. I also take a look at the credentials of their developers which are usually link to their linkedin account in the announcement. There are various sites that review the upcoming ICOs so it is a big help which one is to be trusted or not since I think they are expert in what they are doing especially those reputable ones. If the ICO is the pioneer in the industry to implement the project then that is a big plus for me. Partnerships with big companies is an attention grabber but I do my own research if what they claim is true or not.

With so many ICOs launching day to day, it is hard to choose which ones would be successful or not and even if it would be successful we don't know if the developers would be able to deliver what they promise or run away with our money. Maybe some regulation is needed to protect ourselves in the scams happening nowadays.

Of all the ICOs I've examined so far, the first thing I looked at was the feasibility, the second being the potential for growth, the third being competition. If an ICO is promising extraordinary gains, then it should have extraordinary evidence to back its claims up.

Word of advice: Do not invest in any ICO offering to beat BTC's price explosion, I suspect they will fail.

The first step I did was look at the purpose of the project, the vision and mission through the pages of your website. Then look at the profile of the team members. That was the last I would see whitepaper

Of course i read first their white paper if i see it is good project that is one good point for me, then i consider if the coins are can be mined or they have already a mining site because this is one think you will know if the coin is real or fake.

We all know that there are lots of fake/scam icos, and some people get angry because their investment was not return but this is their own fault they are too greedy to make income and they do not do any research for the ico they invested that is why i recommend to take a look if the ico has their own mining site then i say that is good to invest.

I have tried to buy some coins and token during ICo and I do buy into a project that is very promising and has a past history. Before investing into any project I do tried to find out if that project has been in existence, if it has not been in existence I will not invest into it. Another thing I do is that I will do research on those that are behind that project and finally, read they white paper.

There are many ICO and you have to be careful before investing your money in any of them.
Cryptocurrency world is in its first stages therefore it is normal to find many scams and unexperienced people trying to lead big projects.
I advise you to read carefully the whitepaper (many neglect this point), know more about team members behind the project and try to assess the feasibility of the project.
When you choose which ÌCO you will invest your money in, wait for sales, you can get good discount.
Why people neglect? When we do try to look and see how many ico as of now we would really put it on our minds that checking each of whitepaper would really takes time this is why most of us would really neglect on reading up those things which is one of the most important thing when we do decide to invest on project. One of the strongest thing i do rely on is on its developers because if once i do see that they are capable and experienced enough on such field high chances of that project will succeed or progress later on.

I look out reviews first from news organization sites and if their company does not exist there then I will not invest. I also like teams who held conferences that I can watch in youtube because that also affects me a lot to consider investing in them.

I thinks it's better to pass and just wait after it get listed because it is much cheaper after that.

When investing on an ico first of all we should carefully read the white paper.. There you can understand whether the concept is useful or not. If concept is good , theres a high possibility of getting success. Then we should look into team, their previous projects and all.. When these information are good, there a high possibility of getting success.

Probably, the first thing that you need to check out is the credibility. The ICO that you chose should have been siccessful and working efficiently for quite some time. The next thing that you need to consider is the manager of that ICO, you should also check if the manager is well trusted and feedbacks to him or her are good. Lastly, you need to check the potential earnings of that ICO, whether it’s suffecient or not.

Many ICOs are being launched recently, many of them are just scams. If you want to invest in one of these ICOs you have to be sure it will succeed.
Read the white paper carefully, you will find helpful information there, you can also check team members by contacting them and talk with them to know if they are serious and they know what they are doing. Spend some time collecting information about the ICO from different sources before investing.

First, I check if it is legitimate by letting them send contracts. Second, I acquire referrals from other people to analyze where to invest.
This is one of good idea to know if ico is legit or they only wanting to scam investors, getting referral is one of the best way to know if the project has more supporters and has big possibity to be successful and then for sure you will gain good profit in ico.

Consider a reliable investment, the idea of the project must be sustainable and profitable for long term.
Don't just invest in a project to get coins and then just trade it after get listed on exchanges, most likely you won't get much profit.
Because most people who have bought this coin intended to sell it immediately as well.
But, for a long term project with an innovative ideas or product will give you good profits.

I stopped buying ICO - as the few I bought tanked as soon as they made it to an exchange.  I guess I am very poor at picking winners.

I learned You can not really go by the white papers - they are very vague on the acutual operation of the project.

 I now wait for ICO to end and buy tokens from an exchange, when project is closer to actually having a working product.

 I also prefer to watch interview videos on You-Tube or steam-it - easier to tell what the plan for the project really is.


I agree. It always like that. Whatever bonus or discount you get from buying early, you will still likely to lose. I'm not saying that ICO is bad but it's much better to buy it when it hit exchanges. Just after a week of getting listed, they just go down 50% to 90% and it happens too often.
