Topic: How do you screen ICO projects, what do you look at? - page 5. (Read 559 times)

Exactly what I did every time I invest on an ICO project. Sometimes they are just posting a fake photo in their time just to show that they are really a part of the team, we have to check all of the social medias of the team most of them that is a legit member of a one team has a legit account in LinkedIN.

Couldn't agree more.

I really invest in ICO's to make some earning in short term, so I'd see for these who offer the quickest ROi %.

First I will look at the project itself. If it has a good objectives that will help our economy to improve. Second I consider the team if they are true to their profile posted on their website. I analyze if they are really in capable of making the project possible.

Well, there is a more or less comprehensive list here.

This post is okay, too. https://medium.com/birds-view/cryptoassets-a-crowd-sourced-evaluation-due-diligence-framework-98b921c82731
But. The spreadsheet cites Argon Group as "best in class service provider". The guys who did Blockchain Capital, lol.

So how do you screen the projects? Do you do it by yourself and if so what do you look at?

These ICO rating sites are everything else but rating sites. Most of them are paid for featured spots. Experts are not experts. Some bots give random ratings. Awful service. Don't use them. Zero value in them.

Agree. It is really hard to find reliable ICO review sites. And if you would like to get some insider view, you probably need to pay for it. I recommend cryptobrifing.com to you. It seems to be a legit site to provide high quality reviews.

Those rating websites are full of it and completely unreliable. I always start out checking how much they want to raise cause if it is too much I can move on without wasting time reading everything. If they raise an amount I can stand with then I start looking at their team, if I don't like it then I move on to another ICO. If I like the team I start reading their problem solution or whatever their USP is and then everything else.

Many of you are asking this question. Many of you spend hours researching new ICO projects, reading forums trying to find the proper information, get the knowledge and make the right move. I am sure you  are already aware that it is not the most efficient way. It takes time and all of us have to do the same ground work over and over again separately.

Of course there are rating websites, which tell us what the best ICOs should be but after reviewing 120 projects myself I had very different views on most of the ICO rated as the best ones.

Of course you can discuss with others on the forum but almost no one there does exhaustive and systematic research on ICOs, so lot of info but may not be relevant or very much biased by one’s opinion.

ICO investors need to protect themselves and unfortunately, ICOs are still largely unregulated so we cannot expect that somebody else will search for and punish “bad apples”.
So we decided crypto community needs a proper Due Diligence project based on the knowledge of you all. We would like to build it from the ground up and we are open to any comments, suggestions and ideas. However first we need to know, how you guys actually screen ICO projects, what you look at and what you maybe neglect. So that we can focus our attention on those things. If you fill in this survey you will help us understand exactly that. We are doing this for the community, to create better, accurate and independent ICO reviews.
