Topic: ICO without Slack? - page 2. (Read 1857 times)
If Slack is limited and only for the participation of clearly listed bounty participants, then it really will not be a problem, but I think the problem is very complicated and the project should start switching to telegram and Disscord. I'm used to using Slack, and actually admins can set the post settings to minimize spam phishing.
My phone is lighting up with slack notifications from scammers. Seems like every ICO is unable to close the vulnerability.
What are your thoughts on running an ICO and simply skipping slack as a social channel? Do people even care about slack when there's bitcointalk, telegram, discord, etc.?
Yes an ICO without slack is possible because i've seen some of the ICOs here in the bounties(altcoins) and they are not requiring a slack ,thus they require discord and telegram . I think they dont require slack anymore because there are so many scammers in slack and the one the created the workplace is not able to stop the notification and spams created by other participants or users that joined their slack channel.

I have started muting all of my slack channels because of the constant spamming. For projects that have both or multiple chat options, i will not always forego slack and choose telegram or discord. So from my perspective, i think most people don't care too much if the project doesn't have a slack account as long as there's some form of community forum.
Slack seemed to show much potential. But I agree, it does not really seem useful anymore.
slack is quite good application for come together with all participants and follow all news and progresses about a project.
it is also useful and enable for us on ICO time. But especially on ICO and after dates it becomes a place for scammers, sometimes they really push me to logout from channel.

Slack is not a very good solution, we tried at the start of our seed round but theb removed our slack page due to vulnerability concerns. The Telegram chat seems to be working very well for our purposes.

Telegram is more clever way to communicate with investors. We all experienced rally bad on Slack.
There is no need for slack.

Even if an ICO has Slack, I would not use it. There is still people using it, I just hope they know what they are doing.
I think people just used to do it.. and in some countries, it's much more popular then telegram, so some people even don't know that telegram exist.
To the truth. In well-developed substitutes to many "ancient" methods. With Trust the culture is constantly spreading and who knows what for a couple or a dozen years!

slack is full of scam. it brings no more fun. I Revived everyday lots of Email From Slack Chanel all are useless. I think its batter to discuse about ICO in Medium telegram and blog are good alternative and no scmmer
It pissed me off when Im slack there are always messaging about upgrading in myetherwallet. So I always ignored it because of I suspect it a phishing site. Yes I also prefer medium, and telegram which is okay to use. slack is full of scam. it brings no more fun. I Revived everyday lots of Email From Slack Chanel all are useless.

I agree with your statement. Too many spams and the environment is not good anymore. I also prefer Telegram for updates better media exposure.

There is still ico that did not use slack for communixations. We better be watchful on these ico because there are more scammers that uses slack for thier own purposes. All i can say is join ico that do not use slack as means of communication to prevent viruses and scammers.

I think is is better to have a instant communication platform without scamers, slack is a good platform, but I think some updates are needed to stop the scamers, and I think meybe telegram is a good choice.
How do you think they can update slack to get rid of scammers? I mean what kind of updates can help? imo in all channels during ICO will be a lot of scammers, I don't think that in telegram there are fewer scammers than in slack...

ive heard some rumors these days that slack has been invaded by scammers and bounty hunter that joins the ico are mostly their targets , i guess that we should avoid using slack channel for now and just use another apps or software to communicate with each other like telegram and discord or other group messaging platform. its better to be safe than being scammed.
Slack probably should be skipped until Slack figures out a way to deal with all these scammers. I myself have completely stopped using slack because of this reason and now have turned to other mediums like the ones you
have mentioned. Telegram does seem like the best medium at the moment but this may change in the near future thanks to projects like Status, and Obsidian.

Many ICOs recently has been closing down their slack channels and annoucing it on their sites that they do not want to support slack anymore, while new projects doesn't even open them. I think for now the general community communication will take place on telegram channels or subreddits.
The messages are getting out of hand. I am getting an average of 50 phising messages a day from 4 ico slack channels with link to a fake mew site.the rate of admin interactions in this slack channels is really low.
There have always been huge complaints about slack and it is obvious a whole lot of devs have noticed this and have started moving straight to telegram instead. Apparently it has already affected the trust of their users gradually and this is bad. 
ICO keep insisting on using slack while they put their prospect account in jeopardy. Except there some sort of reward attached to using slack, I usually don't touch it.
