There are some key facts that you should look in ICO:
  • Team and their experience (members should have public profiles on linkedin)
  • Publicity of the Team (how freely they communicate, answer questions about project etc.
  • Advisors if any (always a good idea to contact this person yourself to be sure that he is really advising particular project
  • Check when the project website is created, and registered (also a quick method to suspect a scam project)
  • Idea of the project (try to evaluate value of project by yourself, what perspectives it has, or is it just hype)

The list could go on and on, but this are the main criteria which i use to look for ICO with potential.

Most of these can be faked so, do a proper check in all.

1) In linkedin, try to send messages to all the members and see if they reply. If you do not get any reply, those profile may be fake.

2) Regarding website or domain age, the project can easily buy a  old domain and build a website on it. Even if they create the website a month before, you will see registration date as 4 or 5 years before. Proper way to check this is through wayback machine which allows you to check how the website exactly looked in the past.

To be honest investing in already established projects  for long term might be better idea but my advice
1. Check out icodrops (high and very high rated projects)
2. Follow team on twitter, telegram, discord, slack etc
3. Read whitepaper and analyze market fit
4. Check out team members on linkedin, github
6. Do the math (presale, private sale , % in circulation)
7. Invest only an amount you can afford to lose
 Good luck

How to really judge the potential of an ICO




For me, I usually judge the potential of an ICO through three factors: Development Team, Idea, Roadmap.
Development Team: This is the most important factor, if a project have a good team with many experienced people in the same field then it will be potential in the future.
Idea: It must have a new idea which can improve any field in the society then of course it's many potential in the future.
Roadmap: i think you should not join ICOs which need 10 years to develop. we should choose ICOs which have roadmap is 1 - 3 years to develop.

How to really judge the potential of an ICO
Potential of ICO is assessed by the criteria of product quality, performance. It should be meaningful in terms of convenience, meeting the needs of the user. You can imagine that if a product is factory produced without the user and the community evaluates well, no use, no support. It's a bad product. Ideas and feasibility, devs must agree on a long-term development path and bring about trends and meaning for the future.

The first thing you need to do is spend a lot of time researching their ideas and how to operate them on WP. Then set aside a thought on how it will apply in life and how it will respond in life, economics, and society. Get to know them on the media, dev team, telegram -> marketing strategy and community management. Ask them a few confirmations. Based on that, you will have a detailed and specific assessment of the potential of the project.

In fact, I also believe that the most important thing in any project is the professionalism of his team. Many overestimate their strength and when faced with problems during ICO they can not find solutions to the problem and thus the project becomes unsuccessful even if the idea of ​​the project was initially very interesting and the product was useful. I always study the team, their past experience in similar fields of activity, merit and much more. It is also important to look at the advisors of the project and if among them there are well-known personalities, then the project deserves attention and it can be considered as possible investments.

To accurately judge the potential of an ico then you need to look at the product that the ico project is offering. Is it a good one that is sustainable and can be used by people for a long time to come? If people can find a coin useful enough that they will keep using it years from now then it is definitely going to last for a long time. So look at the product that they are offering

Well you have to look and study the indicators that it might be successful in the future. The team behind the project is a huge factor. An knowledgable, skillful, and experience developer will most likely make the project successful. The project itself whether its original or not.

First of all, it is necessary to look at several factors: the team's qualifications, the current and potential relevance of the idea, the discussion of the project in the media, the presence of well-known advisers, participation in the large fund project of well-known companies, MVP and marketing, Roadmap and a clear financial plan for the project. But if you select one of the most important indicators in the startup phase, then this is definitely a team.

Judging ICO is not as easy as you think and to be honest for time being we cant point out the best one.

If you are asking from the perspective of ICO investment then you are at the highest risk of loosing your money. In that case you can just wait for the right time and then invest. For example, right time would be when ICO gets huge crowdsale response by reaching soft as well as hard cap. Or it could be when the tokens get listed over the exchanger.

Those are some of the ways you can get in try to win the situation. But predicting anything before the realistic data is kind of hard these days.

From my perspective, the platform person, the endorser is the most important.

An excellent ICO or private placement project requires the support of money, needs the support of believers, and needs to establish a good community. For most investors who do not understand technology, it is not possible to see through the hundreds of pages of white paper. At this point, there is a need for a famous insider to come to the platform to call for the ICO project and endorse the new technology.
