Topic: How to choose a good ICO, what criteria? - page 3. (Read 859 times)

I always chose the dev team. After all they serve as the backbone of the project.
I always have a dev team whom I trust, and with that I follow their projects and participate in it.
Another thing, I always check for their target market. If the target market may not be that priority of the market, then maybe I won't join in.

1. Know the people behind them
2. Go for disruptive concepts
3. Understand the target market
4. Evaluate the technology
5. Nitpick the white paper
6. Know what the coins are for

The list looks reliable but quite time consuming. I would say I do about a quarter of these checks

If I have a choice of ISO, there are several factors why I am either interested in this project or not. 1 This is a team. 2 is documentation 3 social networks and that there is about this project 4 And also who are already investors

For me :

Website
Whitepaper
Developer
The Project
Manager

Five of them are my first priorities before i join and participate in an ICO, if those 5 are convincing enough, then i will join in that ICO.

Good list, thanks for compiling and sharing.

There are top 5 values you should consider before investing: Project idea, Technology, Team, Community, Investment potential.

I like this list, there's even more of what I usually use when choosing a coin. But even with such a check, you can’t be completely sure that the project is not a scam.

This is a very extensive list which could come in handy if you have enough founds only for 1 ICO but have found 3-4 that you like.
For me the 3 key criteria are whitepaper, product and team.

I think that it is worth looking for information about ICO in social networks. Many consider this not a reliable source, but there often you can find important feedback.

This is probably the largest list of all the criteria I’ve ever seen and I think  to check everything on this list will be necessary to spend more than one week.

You should check out this video that explains how to do research quickly and efficiently:

There are a couple of methods that should be used to check even during the campaign. Such as checking ICO’s wallet address . If after some time there is absolutely nothing there, and on the site other information, then this is definitely a scam.

very well that you created this list.in my opinion it is very useful and in addition incredibly will help other people to learn to choose excellent projects

Yes you're right. Having a good team and a good roadmap is one of the basis that the campaign has a potential for us to consider that it is a good ICO.

Not all crypto currencies are going to go up in value.
You need to be mercenary with some of them. That is to say, shorter term trades if a situation changes about a cryptos competitive edge or unforeseen circumstances.

I have merited for posting this, honestly I only have 5 points in picking the right ICO to invest but you have covered almost everything I will add this pointer when picking the right ICO to invest, people are lost when picking the right one it's important that you do have criteria.

There are so many factors ofcourse but team and advisors, quantity of people following them, size of hard cap and distribution of tokens are the major factors that i can say in the beginning.

Every ICO is subject to evaluation based on four big criterias: team evaluation, product evaluation, token economics, and business evaluation. Each criteria contains several sub-criterias, with a variable importance degree in the overall score.
Rating is done on each sub-criteria with a score between 1 and 5. Score of 1 being the worst rating, and score of 5 being an exceptional rating.
An overall average is calculated taking each criteria and sub-criteria into account.
Criterias have a variable degree of importance in the overall score and are calculated as follows

I use ICO Spreadsheet, that contain reviews of several "influential" people to narrow my search down. I then visit the websites on my own and look at the metrics, these reviewers provide. If a team for example has 8.5 of 10 points by more than 10 reviewers it probably means the team isnt that bad. Most of them do extensive research, and show their work publicly. I don't have the time to look into every whitepaper and research a single project for 3 weeks. People now may say:" blabla not enough research blabla", but let me say you this:

Projects I invested in, by using third party analysts, spreadsheets, youtube and website reviews.

Tron: invested in it shortly after the ico at 0.0021 usd. (Still massive profit, even though people hate it)
ICON: Invested 2.5k at 0.11usd
Vibehub: (Look into it, if you dont believe me) invested lunch money of 60usd and sold it for 8000Usd
Enjin: invested at 0.03 cents + presale bonus and sold at 30cents
Matrix AI: We will see where this goes
and a few others....

Everyone that tells me, my research was not good enough, because I reviewed 3 or more projects a day through various sources, should reconsider what they are talking about. I quit my job last year and still have more than enough to not think about employment for the next 20 years. Almost anyone has an opinion. The bad thing about is if you start listening to people that haven't achieved anything for themselves.

And another tip for you: If you are planning to invest in this market, don't try to catch a falling knive. It is fine to buy little buy little on the way down, but you should use the majority of your budget, when the markets starts to recover (not everything of course).

Projects to watch out for:

- NEO, Cardano, Eso, ICON, Wanchain, Zilliqa.

I also recommend to join each of these telegram groups and to search others on your own, because I found quite a few projects, while reading the discussions in these groups.
