This is why i do really agree on ICO to be regulated because this would really changed up the system which scam would really be less compared on non-regulated ones. ICO are good investment but would depend on a certain project which do really have a real-world usage or benefit among people. They do earn and at the same time its investors do earn to which means its a win-win situation for them.

If you plan to invest into tokens, please consider TE-FOOD.

There are only a few ICOs, which are based on existing products with fair market share. TE-FOOD is the largest in its category with more than 6000 business customers.

There are even less ICOs which build sustainable business, and at the same time, solve social problems.

And from that few, there are just some, which are not focused on getting rich quick, but realizing a decent business plan.

TE-FOOD with its working product, and $16M hard cap is one of them.

If you are interested check it out.

From the upcoming ICOs I like Gladius, Utrust, Sether and Flixxo. There are a few more in research right now

There are some promising ICO which I've already invested and they open for new comers. Take look at QuantStamp and SimpleToken. Next one I will invest is Wabi

A lot of research!!

Yes, because it's too easy and no control of authority so many of us getting scam, loosing money on bad project.
Even some projects showing very good and potential like Tezos did. And now, let's see what're they doing with our money

Agree with you, when team have a lot of money they will feeling lazy with their paper project.
Almost project don't need their coin/token. They need our money; major coin to cash out!
So many times we can get cheaper in exchange after their ICO

Partly agreed. But what about Raiden network for example?

I also strongly value use of an escrow mechanism.

Better to invest in ICOs with hardcap less then 10mio. Just look at Tezos, Kickico etc.. where is price now

Signals Network is my top pick for November. Good idea and presentation. Recently they announced partnership with iExec, which is cool!

Do your due diligence:

Read the information on the project's website, check out the team and the advisors, and read up on their backgrounds.

If there are outside investors involved, see who they are. A big VC fund might indicate a project with a higher chance of success.

Check out the project's social channels and blogs: Are they updated frequently? Are they run professionally?

Read the project's whitepaper; if it's too technical, find an expert's evaluation or ask one to evaluate it.

Does the team already have a working product? Perhaps in beta or alpha stage? If possible, try it out. A solid working product, or at least a proof of concept, might mean the team is serious and potentially already ahead of their competitors in the space.

Carefully examine the ICO terms and conditions: Has there been a large pre-sale discount? Is the total market cap and the amount of funds being collected realistic and reasonable? For example, a company making a decentralized calendar app probably does not mean half a billion dollars in funding.

What's the project roadmap like? Does it appear realistic, or is it just a wish list?

What's the team's plan for spending those ICO funds moving forward?

See what social channels are saying. Check Slack, Reddit, Telegram, and more, but be wary that there will be lots of unreasonable shilling for the project, as well as just plain clueless comments. Use common sense; if something feels off, stay away from it.

Has anyone looked into SMSChain? So they are going to be a decentralized SMS gateway. They have already raised almost 1.3Million USD. I have yet not participated into this ICO yet but literally found this one today only. So what is SMS Chain? From what I have understood, we have to downlaod their application on others can use our unused SMS and we can make income from this as we will get paid for every SMS other companies will send using our mobile. According to their website we can make between 150 USD to even 750 USD. They do have a limit of 40,000 SMS per day so if you are the one who has an unlimited plan, its great for you. If I would have this king of plan where I have unlimited SMS plan I would for sure make the full use of SMS Chain SMS per day limit and make sure all 40,000 SMS are sent using my mobile so I can make most money out of this. So the best part is that you do not even have to participate in their ICO to make money out of it. The users just have to install the app and can set a per day limit of how many SMS they would like to be sent from their quota. Not only this users can also control the type of content that they want to be sent out, for example if they want the sms to be sent from facebook, whatsapp or google, etc.

Looking at the team I was pleasantly surprised to check the linkedin profile of the CEO of SMS Chain, Andrey Insarov. This guy has a solid background and has worked in London. ANdrey has a telecommunication background with Global SMS providers.

Looking at the concept I am definitely going to be using their application to earn some passive income. For more information you can visit their website https://smschain.org or even join their telegram chat at https://t.me/smschainofficial   

ICO is a good way of raising funds as a concept. Really opens up financing for a lot more team. I believe that as time passes, it will be harder and harder to do scam ICOs, and ICO market quality will rise.

Its good to invest in ico because those are the very initial and low value of that coin and during ico many of the coins offers bonus. So for waiting some time you get good profit for your investments. For checking its legitimacy check google for ico rankings. Try to follow the top ones.

someday there will be how to spot fake ico in youtube.. or 10 steps how to spot it and a million views, then more people will come up with how to spot fake ico. then the rules will change .. adapt and survive 

First, we need to see the benefits and harms of the ICO
No. 1, the risk of trusting the ICO
As we all know, ICOs or virtual currencies operate independently and are not strictly regulated by the government. This creates favorable conditions for organizations and individuals to call for investment. So when investors contribute capital to ghost organizations, they will not get paid after the project ends because they are already running high. far flight.
Second, on the other hand, what are the benefits of investing in ICOs?
That is the profit, or in other words the money lay. You will receive x2, x4, x10 even x20 than the original amount. You can say, in just one night, you from the bum Slipped into millionaire when you invest in ICO projects

Avoiding SCAMMERS hard They can make shinny website they can spend thousands of dollars for social media marketing.
Thant is why we try to listing ICOs with YouTuber reviews so you can get other peoples opinions. So you can get as much opinion as possible about Upcoming and Ongoing ICOs You can check it out on our ICO listing site www.listico.io (we working on it however YouTubers review is not 100% yet)

I recommend a new coin. It's just starting, it's a super bounty. You can buy at a low price.
