Topic: How to choose a good ICO ? - page 2. (Read 1557 times)

questions like this are already in question
but initially all the above friend reviews are the same now back on us how to judge a project by looking at teams, managers, white paper, official sites and more

If you want to know the ICO is good and legitimate, you see first the history and rating of ico, and then read the whitepaper, see the future and features that will be provided from the platform, and don't be easily influenced by fraudsters or scammer who sent you for the transfer but it's not from team ICO, thats my opinion

Here is quick checklist that you go trough always before investing in coin:

1. Check the crypto currencies forum page on bitcointalk forums. Checking for several different things from lower part of checklist.

2. Flashy images and good page setup. Solid structured page is what i look for, anything that is scraped up quickly without images or videos often means that developers put little effort into marketing of coin, which is not a good sign to see for investing. Remember you are not in it alone, you want other market participants to get in too if you want to sell coin for profit.
Generally people think completly wrong on this one, thinking that flashy images mean developers are just looking for profits and coin is more likely a scam, while the reality is if you do deep statistical checking and pattern checking of the coins, it is exactly the opposite. The more work developers put into the coin the better, there can be exceptions but in the end its overall statistical performance that matters not single picked example.

3.Transparent team. Images and names of all developers on project, coins developed and released by hidden developers are way more likely to be scam or eventually loosing overall value. This is a fact. Its logical, if someone has ill intent its more likely that staying in shadows will guarantee better safety or perception of it. A good sign is team with experianced members who produced previously successful projects.

4 Long term use. Coin, token, system no matter what the ICO or release is it needs to have long term useful value. Just releasing currency for the sake of it doesn't cut it. Whatever the asset is, it has to provide some real use in order for market to see long term value in it. This means when one sees coin always make sure to think ahead how could such asset provide value to certain people, organizations, companies etc...
For example it could provide platform for developers to develop other blockchain softwares on top of it, which gives it intrensic value of whole ecosystem build on top of it, it could provide capital flight in reppresed countries such as privacy coins allow, it could be distributed power sharing and use such as certain coins that distribute computer power might allow in future, it needs to give value to certain market.

5.Mining should below on list of forum page. When you see coin page that has mining explained and front pushed right bellow the tittle or near it, its usually red flag. It means that developers did not develop any other significant feature to represent it in coins description that could drag in the investors. Mining is only process that helps functionality of currency, it is not the actual use of currency and its only sole feature.

6.Market capitalization. Very important and often overlooked. When investing in any asset it is important to recognize what current market capitalization of it is, if you are value investing and looking for asset that will produce long term increase of use for certain market, it needs to be as under priced and under capitalized as possible, this means that you as investor are entering at best possible price. If market capitalization is way above the actual real use of market it very often leads to strong price drop in order for price to stabilize around intrensic value.

Before taking part in ISO it is necessary to learn as much information as possible about it. It is important who the people behind him are, what they did before, what are their plans for the future. It is necessary to study their pages in social networks, find out how long they have been registered. To study the roadmap of the project and understand whether it is possible to realize everything that they came up with

Correct. Those ratings for those ICO's are just guides for someone who's looking to invest into ICO's. Don't get used to it, sometimes they are wrong with their rating and what I'm thinking is there are ICO's that are even paying for good reviews. And when you invested to that type of ICO who are also investing with good reviews, you better get yourself some education on how to choose good ICO. Don't be dependent with those ICO rating websites. Make your own measurement on how to choose and it is indicated by others through many threads about ICO.

He's not asking about bounties, he's asking about choosing and investing on ICO. And those rating sites are just guides so doing more research about it is still the best thing to do.

you can see on ico reputation and you can see it in ico rating, whether ico is good and safe to follow . I think you should be careful in choosing the bounty that will be followed 

I think you can see a good ico in ico rating. Because in it there are some good and trusted gifts.  I hope you can follow that.

If me to know how to choose the best ico the first i do is who is the team, i think good team is good project, and then how many people to join the project,

Looking out for great ICO's and finding a good ICO to invest is usually a challenge to the average person out there with limited information on how the crypto world works, unlike the traditional IPO's of which is highly regulated by the Central Banks and the Governments.
To find Good ICOthis are what you should look out for;
1) the team behind the project ICO
2.) Utilization of the technology,
3.) what purpose it going to serve to the world?
4.) Does it solve a major problem in society?
All these are very important feature to check out when looking up a good ICO

I think you should first look at the project, whether it can be trusted or not. see the level of interest of investors, whether many enthusiasts or not. because more and more enthusiasts then the price of tokens will rise and vice versa if the demand a little token prices will decrease

everyone has a different strategy, which I know before choosing the first ico you should see who the manager is and do not forget to read also the rules.

Best criteria for choosing a good would be a good whitepaper because all of the details must be there in order to satisfy the potential investors without putting into consideration the marketing and hype of the project, if we talk about a potential coin that could easily pump in the future i think having a regular updates and being active in cryptocommunity must put into consideration as well, as for the team well that's a no brainer everyone should check the background of  the team and its advisors.

Read the white paper, meet the team if possible if based in your city, understand the project on which they have introduced the coin and their future and usability in coming years. Also see if they have any bounty or promotion happening and how are they being treated with answers of the questions raised. Also are they paying regularly to their participants or not. If you feel comfortable after doing your own research and with this points you can invest in such projects right at the beginning of the PRE - ICO stage to get the better deal.

if your going to invest on some ICO .
first you need to check their reviews and some awards if they have a good ratings.
then look at their website . you can know with their website if their project is promising .

It can be a good help if you will read their whitepaper clearly but that's not enough to choose if that ICO is a good one.

Knowing the team is also a good way to know if they are running a legit ICO as the life of that coin will depend on those developers.

Sometimes there are developers who are faking out linked in profiles so verifying who are the dev team is also a challenge if they are not for transparency.

Lets share my suggestion about finding the good ICO.

I will read the white paper completely whether they are legit project, what is their focus about this project, how the team has been emerge with this idea.
Secondly I use to check the project developer team whether they comes up with the legit perfect team or completely newbies involved in it.
Next need to check their Linked-In profile that whether they are old profile or newly created only for promoting their project.
This is how I check the good project.

Finding a reliable ICO project really needs a lot of researching, you have to review always the whitepaper of the project that you'd like to invest in, and identify also the members behind the team if they are really credible members and not fictitious characters only. And most of all, you have to make sure that the project has the great community that are active enough to answer all your concerns about the project.

Read the white paper clearly. A project can succeed if it has made a good investment at the same time

These are some of the things we have to assume and more we have to check with their advisory team and we have to check whether they attend any public meeting. This another way of marketing their product to which it will boost their activity.
