Supporting an ICO is simple. Just hold your tokens or coins. The biggest support for an ICO is not dumping.
Too many dumps killing Tokens checkout EOS price chart

STOP BULLSHITING.

YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AN ACCOUNT THIEF.

I 've been trying to find out all the things that would lead me to spot the wining ICO, meaning an ICO that will not just enter a the platforms to make a quick buck.

An ICO I can really HODL.

I have gathered the below up to now:

The founders are working on something great, with details on their design and their roadmap.
The founders are not worried with deadlines, but are making changes when necessary to ensure the safety of their project.
The founders know their project of by heart. They can answer logical questions. They love it when people ask them about their project and the details of the development.
The founders could be promising the world, but not tomorrow. If they are promising you to become rich tomorrow, something looks bad.

New points from other members:

Competent development team is the most important rule. Ideas are not enough. There should be good devs to build around those ideas. That is main rule.
ICO's with a low or reasonable market cap and ICO's that have set a max cap.
[it could apply sometimes] The winning icos will be having a large of the communities that will always try to monitoring the development process of the project that was including about the crowdsale too.
Truly wining ICO gets a news coverage on the media.
The ICO softcap is fulfilled ahead of time.
If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Projects with an existing product, could look more promising, but people could be less likely to invest. It all has to do, at which stage their project is running and where they want to take it.
The project is transparent, as the founders are transparent.

Looking forward to enhance my list. I will add your ideas to the above list.

i agree to your list im sure some of members will avoid the scam ico , i always pick interesting ico's before investing on them and doing some research about the developers about the project if nothing came up i will not invest their project because of the possibility of scam.

the industry is so unpredictable now, that all we can check are people who are behind the project if they had past projects, well-known areas, publications

It is really hard to determine whether the advertised projects are true ,one thing we have to understand is it really possible for a development team to do two projects and if so could we trust them as they are not fulfilling with their first project ,most of the ICO are collecting funds in millions and what we have to think is that whether these projects are fulfilling what they are promising and doing their work for the funds they are collecting.

As a matter of first importance, it is exceptionally helpful to tell a trick from a genuine ICO. Once you've chosen investigate, consider setting aside the opportunity to peruse the specialized whitepaper to see how it functions . The papers can once in a while be thick yet the comprehension of the points of interest is extremely well justified, despite all the trouble. Additionally, you may think that its supportive to join the Slack gathering to make inquiries and see what other people groups' worries are. It is troublesome in this momentum atmosphere with such a large number of ICOs going ahead to figure out which ones will work out and which ones are no great, yet the same as it has been with a significant number of the altcoins, it is tied in with doing a respectable measure of research, look at the group behind the coin, see what the assessments are on this gathering and utilize your very own touch sense.

The amount of money raised by an ICO in no way directly translates to a corresponding quality of product. Marketing budgets, clever branding, great intro videos…all of these things can help attract attention, bring funds, and inflate perceptions.

Absolutely agree that there are projects that can make a cool project with a small budget, and on the contrary money is huge and the project is bad

Big money for startup is even harmful than their absence I suppose. Many projects will die because of feeling rich and doing nothing by the team. What is the point to do something if you are already rich?! If you do not have ambitions, of course.

Yeah it's true, some ICO make their project look attractive by having a huge budget.
This is to deceive investors that they have a budget for this and that they can make it to be a successful one.
Well of course, all flowery words will say to investors to build trust to them. Then at the end of ICO they'll tell alibies that these and those happens and the transparency will lost.

Read thread on ICO as questions are raised and answered will tell if its a scam.Look at the size of its community and activity on social media .This will give you an insight into the project.Look at the token distribution of the team members . If it is high it means that they are a greedy and need to be careful. Also look at the ICO's marketing team.They need to be relevant and in the market for an investor to make profit.

Actually, it is really hard to spot a winning ICO cause no matter what you do or no matter how many research you make still it depends on the developer’s motive. What we only know is the developers goal and not their motive so it is really kind of hard to determine.

I agree with all points. There is really a big factor when the founders know the project very well and how it will go in the end. The details anf the possible outcome of the project. The team as a whole must have update as well with what's going on or the current situation of the project. I guess, there must be transparency between the team and the investors.

Not only about the transparency but the developers or the team should made special report about the development progress, The transparency about the fund will be appreciated in my opinion.
Because the investors need to know about what already happened with it.

In addition to the list, a winning ICO has a goal to make its subscriber be in a composed position and a winning ICO shows transparency. These are important aspects of a good ICO for we know that our own sentiments, worries or troubled mind is also their concern.

Will add now, especially about the transparency.

There is only one thing that should be taken care of, and that's ICO developer should not run in between of the projects leaving everything incomplete. They should not leave us scammed and our investments dissolved into their own pockets.

That's all is need to have a winning ICO

The points you listed up there are followed by every dam ICO developer, manager and all the people involved.

But in the later stage they do whatever they always wanted to do. That's spamming the ICO project itself. So it's not about the start really, it's about the end!

You forgot to check the background of the team. It is one of the important thing that you need to know. Maybe the dev had a history of abandoned projects before. One of the team may take part on a scam before.

As discussed in posts at the beginning of this threat, some team members could just have fake or have changed their background so much, to appear the top of what they do. And because this is a new industry, is just early to tell the good and the bad.

It is not to easy to spot a winning ICO. You have to study the project report completely. Study the White paper along with the investor benefits.
now look at the developer team members profile. after all if you find that the project is very good. team is very strong than you can spot a winning ICO.
