Topic: ICOs = More of the same - page 3. (Read 877 times)
may be some kind of way to get its own benefits. in that way can benefit more. but the project does not help too much. maybe it's only done by some people only. the results are also not all like-minded people.
This will continue to grow in that way only but it’s good thing for us while choosing the ICO project. In the future if any other project comes which is not similar to those you mentioned above then it will have more chances of creating mega crypto base and hence the project could see golden days really. So always keep a positive approach about these shitty projects for now. Unless there are no hard regulation the new ICO will keep forming like this and will follow same pattern every time. So better to watch for that new and unique ICO which might be one in hundred. ;-)
The ann forum and bounty forum are absolutely nuts. I've been looking up a bounty program to join soon and kept running accross the same uninspired projects over and over again. I noticed there were 5 types of projects that kept popping up:
-decentralized banking
-decentralized exchanges
-tokenized gaming
-healthcare on the blockchain
-social media/social communities
well, there were more, but each project proclaimed stuff like "The world's first blah blah blah" and in each thread there would be like 10 posts immediately after the OP saying random shit like, "This looks promising!" or "Great idea! Great team!" and of course a bunch of people reserving translations.
I actually get excited when a weird one pops up. Like doing an ico to fund a utopian community based on renewable energy out in the middle of siberia. That shit is lit.

I'm sure you're not the only one! Everyone is claiming to be the "first" in everything, and they don't even take the time to look at their competitors. The disappointment comes when you look at their team and see almost no developers there (I'm not talking about some Javascript programmer either). Then the bigger disappointment comes when you see how successful their ICOs are.
But like you, I really look forward to the out-of-the-box guys, but also I like seeing actual businesses use an ICO to expand. Sometimes, it's easy to get blinded by fancy whitepapers, but sometimes it's reassuring to see solid business plans.
maybe the trend now is about what you mention and i think people will compare between one ico to another ico before they decide to make investment. they need learn one by one for the ico because they want their money to be safe and increase their money for a long term so if they can not take any benefits from the ico, then they don't have to join or buy the tokens. i think there are many others ico that will some other value for the investor so the investor can know where the best candidate ico that could be success in the future.

I will have to agree with you, what you are saying is actually true, I have witnessed it too many times. A lot of ICOs which where launched this year are in most cases based on the same idea. Probably that is the one reason why some of them don't suceed. -decentralized banking
-decentralized exchanges
-tokenized gaming
-healthcare on the blockchain
-social media/social communities

Currently, it looks like some ICOs are introducing agriculture on the blockchain, I have seen a few ICOs within the few past days/weeks which are introducing agriculture and farming into the blockchain. I am not sure if it will work out or not but its happening, altcoins such as milkcoin and bananacoin are some of the projects which are introducing agriculture and farming on the blockchain.
That's a pretty good summary. I would like to see counts and more topics - it would be a good research project.
There are indeed a great number of very similar projects. But thats the case in anything you decide to take a look at: The overwhelming majority consists of average or subpar products, while only a handful will really grow into something big and truly disruptive (take the dot com bubble for example - you don't have many googles and amazons, they're few of a kind)
LOL that last sentence had me haha
I agree. There's a lot of people flooding those sectors. One I found was very unique is cybermiles. They have a dectralized marketplace, but they partnered with 5miles app to implement the blockchain. So essentially, that's the first case study in real time. They also have a bunch of cool features int heri ecosystem that I haven't seen before.

Check out Confideal! Smart Contracts without coding skills- looks really promising.
Also icobench's rating is 4,7.

Spectre.ai is a lot different though. Spectre.ai is building broker less trading platform with virtual reality. This project has reach an advance stage and ico is been conduct for funding. Spectre.ai idea is actually solving life experiences problem in which many investors are been defrauded by rogue broker. Spectre.ai is bring solution to this. And that solution is not just whitepaper solution!
This one is old, but at least it gave me a laugh, Murraycoin:

I was talking with a colleague today about possible applications of blockchain technology in education, in particular standardized testing.
We're not experts in blockchain technology but we're both in education and can see how this can cause a huge paradigm shift in academics.
I've been looking for a project in education and am really curious as to how they can utilize the technology.
That is something different that I would willingly become a part of.

I don't think it was that different 2/3 years ago .
People were scamming with ico's then also. There are still good projects to put money in you just gotta do some good research.

This time there are so many similar projects just want to compete between each other. Thoe are not aiming for the future of project itself, but only interested in flipping the money into the doubled or more.
I guess that a majority of the ICO have patterned it to be like the ones that were already successful in the past. Most of the investors have based the success of the ICO on the type and goal of the project so they would like to have attractive projects. Also, some projects such as the one OP has shared like an ICO to fund a utopian community based on renewable energy out in the middle of siberia may sound impossible and does not attract that much investors if it sounds too weird or risky. This probably the reason why there are common ICOs that are similar; a way of playing safe.
Yes, most icos have become to be the same, and it's quite sad to seen it this way.
I notice the same - just another real property ico, another exchange ico, another copy-paste.
ICOs number exploded lately and it's hard to find anything original.

Every ICO does seem the same, I've been looking for an ICO with a completely original idea for a while now. Nothing seems to be popping up.
There are some, but too much noise in this forum.
It is now hard to differentiate between good ones that are genuine and unique and carbon copy ones that just repeat what the previous ICO did. I would suggest reading the whitepaper and ask yourself if it solves anything, could this be a revolutionary project that can profit and make money.

yup. dont see any special idea from ICO in this time. All they focus is card, shop, payment and VR.... but sometimes simple idea is still good
Oh...
I am amazed at the hundreds of crappy ideas but even more amazed at the gems such as Oyster or SIA or Etherparty and so on.
Looks like you and the OP can "both be correct", there is way too much of "More of the same" all shouting for attention, and you are correct for pointing out some do have great potential.

Oh come on. Aside from the scams yes there are many many mundane half thought out ones which will fizzle, maybe even 95% of them, but there have been a steady stream of good ideas which either will radically change how the web works or inspire future technology that will. Look at how far Ethereum and IOTA have come and look at some of these really great application ideas being put forth. Legally binding trustless decentralized smart contracts, a decentralized IOT framework which handles both computation and storage, new means of tapping into users unsused computational and storage resources to monetize web sites and services, and so on.
