does it really matter? if project is good it should not matter..

True !! Nobody knows Satoshi Nakamoto is really Japanese or just a pseudonym. What really matter is that he/she/it bring the tech we are based now and it is a tremendous success already !

It doesn't matter who someone was prior to bringing some good, what it matter is the good he is bringing.

But I know unfortunately there is a lot of crypto warfare now and if you look closely with Bitcoin being Japanese, Ethereum Russian, Iota German (Nazis) it will all look like the same Axies countries on the World War II.

Some people just don't support some very good tech if he knows it is coming from China or other Country he/she doesn't like.

A lot of Russian persons in ICOs,,, and former Soviet nations. Usually one or two Chinese people in the team as well. For ICOs where I have seen addresses, it is usually in some offshore island like Cayman but usually in a hypercity like Singapore or London (UK). Strangely, for all the China uproar, I do not recall many China addresses.

These days it matters a lot, there have been many scam ICO before where people lost more than a million because they haven't verified each of their team member. Most of the projects have linkedin profile of their team member, from which we can get pretty good idea about origin country of that ICO/project.

The most important thing about geography is to find out which country the team members are from. This will tell you the probability of team members exaggerating or lying.

From the corruption index I would trust only the top 5 but I thing almost no crypto comes from those countries.
Besides there is always flaws on those indicators like:
* You don't know which country donates more to the transparency org to get it's country flagged as "clean";
* If All countries have a 100% corrupt system, those who look more clean are in fact those who are not fighting corruption harder, or at least not effective against corruption;
* Judge citizens by it's politics class may not be representative;
* Crypto being a trust-less technology would not find broad adoption on countries where trust is common scenario;

The location of the team members is important, but it's also important to know where the sale has legally happened.

An ICO is typically done through a legal entity (for tax and liability reasons, among other things). And this is what I am curious about.
We hear about Singapore and Switzerland being the lead, but I would like a more comprehensive list with other states.
Switzerland is fairly expensive, for example, Singapore has its limitations as well.

I see lots of Russian names in ICOs, too, but I am not sure if the company's base is in Russia. Actually I am just reading their whitepaper and party member's old jobs. Maybe I am doing wrong but I don't care their places or names.

I think Russia is the biggest ICO publisher country. There are too many Russian teams on ICO's . But it doesn't matter if its a good project to invest.
And also don't forget China ban will change the game in few months.

I'm thinking of compiling one myself based on whatever information is disclosed by ICO issuers and sharing the results here.

That sound good , lately country of origin for ICO has been one of the important factor after chinese stopped all upcoming ICOs backed by chinese company or people.

We might see similar steps from few other countries within this year so your compiled list might become helpful to all ICO investors.

I think it doesn't exist (didn't see anywhere). Even if it does it would be some kind of private information of different venture funds and organization which invest their money into stratups through ICO.

Hi!

I'm trying to find statistics on geographic locations of ICOs (i.e. if a legal entity is used for ICO, where was it incorporated). Does anyone know of such source? All I could find was just a top 10 ICO compilation or references to individual cases.

Thanks!
