Topic: In how many ICO's have you invested and how many white-papers have you read? (Read 753 times)
December 01, 2018, 05:53:49 PM
I rarely read the whitepaper because it's too long, unless if they don't have other documents such as lightpaper. But sometimes I also don't read both of them because there are some ICO who have put all their information into the website. To determine ICO is good or not, my advice is do not just to focus on their whitepaper, but you also have to judge it from all aspects, because sometimes this doesn't match what they have planned.

I have read a lot of whitepapers so far and it barely helped me to invest properly.
I have invested in a few ico, but certainly 10 times as many whitepaper read.
Reading white paper certainly makes sense, but it does not always help one to make the right decision.

For me am not investor but I have read about almost 25 whitepapers just for me to write up some content that’s my own reason for reading them that’s all.

It takes to much time to find out what exactly white paper is true and which is false. That is why I hope for some automated solution to appear in the nearest future.
December 01, 2018, 12:32:48 PM
it's too much until I can't count it. many projects that I have participated in from 2017 to the present. of all the projects that I participated in, there were only a few projects that gave me more profit, they only made me lose money.

Lets find out the ICO investment : white paper reading ratio.
If you never read whitepaper even only sight reading it, then you should not invest on ICO.
Investing in ICO because you know the project from other peoples is same as you don't know about the project at all.
Due diligence is very important before investing in ICO, to avoid scam and fake ICOs.
December 01, 2018, 10:29:41 AM
I have been interested in many ICOs lately. I look for those with good product or ecosystem. When, I don't read the whitepaper quite frequently, I'm interested only in say 10 WP this year. . One of these it Gigzi whitepaper (which I like it a lot), as the concept is quite new, it is a must to go through the whitepaper to better understand things ..
So, whenever there is a thing or two to understand, you have to go through the whitepaper.

There can be anything and WP and a lot of fake info is included. You need to make much more investigations to find out that certain project is worth investing.
November 30, 2018, 05:13:02 PM
I only invested 2 icos and i read their whitepaper twice before doing my investment. I believe the most important thing is reading their whitepaper and analyzing the project deeply. So i think i am doing right. Investors should read projects whitepaper detailly and they need to decide according to that. You can understand everything about project with using their whitepaper. Dont be lazy.
Well, but why don't you name those projects you've invested in? There're many professionals who will tell you whether they're good or not. And, ofc, whether we can trust you or not.

Lets find out the ICO investment : white paper reading ratio.
I didnt read any whitepaper of these ICOs so I ended up in total loss because 6/7 are scams. Now Im doing bounty hunting and I usually reading the whitepaper first before joining.
November 30, 2018, 06:21:14 AM
10 ICOs and none of them had managed to launch a working project right now. It made me to loose faith in such projects for nearest several years.
Having a choice of 10 ICOs and none of them worked properly will also make me disappoint and won't push through another ICO.But tbh, I haven't read any of ICOs as they launch because I haven't interested to them. It might be only a peek but I didn't went through all the details. I only read some interesting and important details when I'm starting to see that there's a progress for that coin.
November 30, 2018, 06:10:05 AM
White paper very hard to understand for me, i am try to read it once and never more do it.
Usually i am invest in already ready projects, but one time i am invest in ico and become long term holder))) thats was bad investments

I lost count on the ICO projects I have invested in, but around 20 or so. In the year of 2016 and 2017, ICO was very hot. As for white papers, I didn't count as well but definitely read hundreds of white papers for sure.
November 30, 2018, 05:21:53 AM
Invested in 8 ICO, read hundreds whitepaper until now, i also read whitepaper of a project when i intend to join its airdrop or bounty program. I need to do that to secure my time and my money, no shit project is allowed in my involved project.
November 30, 2018, 05:15:47 AM
I do not think Whitepaper is the most important factor when evaluating an ICO. Whitepaper is nonetheless theoretical, projects can write what they want and exaggerate their technology.

I have invested in less than 20 ICOs but I have read over 300 whitepepers because I am a content creator and I need to understand a project thoroughly before I write about them, Moreover I believe that you do not really understand a project until you are familiar with it's whitepaper.
November 10, 2018, 12:52:17 PM
Based on the title of the topic, I can say that I read the white books of all the projects in which I participate. As for the bounty, and ICO. Without a white book is the same as without eyes
I also do this when I participate in any project of the Bounty company. But in my own experience I can say that even a full-fledged analysis of all the project documentation will not give one hundred percent guarantee of success.

I have invested in more than 10 ICO since I joined the crypto space earlier this year and I have read countless number of white paper since joining the ico investing and crypto space.

I did not invest in projects, but by doing generosity, I read the white papers of each project. I read about 80 white papers.
I also, I analyze projects being in the team of my friends, and I have to read every white paper of a project that I analyze, I have already analyzed about 200 projects.

If we are talking about a small amount, then perhaps you are right. But still information about the team and partners is not enough to objectively assess the prospects of the project.
Yeah, you are right, dude.I do not mean that knowing the team and the partner of the project is enough to research the project, that's just the example of another aspect that we need to know before joining the project. Anyway, thanks for the correction. And according to you, what is another information that we need to objectively assess the prospects of the project?
November 09, 2018, 07:44:43 AM
I don't really remember about how many projects that I have been invested in or about the total of whitepapers that I have been read. It's necessary to read the whitepaper, but I don't think all of the people here do that because it can take many times. We can research the project by knowing other information, such as their team and partner.

So far, I have not invested in any project yet. While reading a lot, studying and learning, but before investing money has not yet reached. As for the white paper, I read about 15 papers.
Likely to come to this sooner or later) I Have the first investment happened quite suddenly, just really liked the project) 
November 08, 2018, 05:09:33 AM
It is good to read the whitepaper when we want to invest in a project. Sure, it's not the only source we have to inform. But sometimes the whitepaper can show us if the project is SCAM or not. I did not read the whitepaper and I regretted it a few times. Since then I've realized I have to read the whitepaper. However, there are more important details, such as the experience and credibility of team members. You can ask them different questions on their telegram channel and you can quickly figure out whether the project is SCAM or not.
November 08, 2018, 04:26:54 AM
I always read the whitepaper when I want to invest in ICO, whitepaper is the most essential point when we want to invest and from whitepaper I can know which direction the project will be heading, I have invested in several ICO, some recommendations from friends and some from the whitepaper that I read
November 08, 2018, 03:46:06 AM
I do not understand how people can learn the features of any project without reading all the documents. Almost every white paper can tell you the facts that developers hide or are silent about their existence. ( i have read almost 50 papers)
November 08, 2018, 03:43:14 AM
rarely invest in ICO, but pretty much read the whitepaper. of course, since it's a pretty effect conferring on the bounty deepened about the bounty that followed. whitepaper that will describe the ICO and it will also have an impact by the results whether the bounty can be great or not. so maybe in addition to investment, whitepaper will be using a lot to a bounty hunter.

November 07, 2018, 01:40:28 PM
Actually i am not reading whitepapers generally. Because whitepapers too complicated for me. I am trying to understand the projects target and mission. Maybe i read generally whitepapers first page but generally i am reading summaries and doing research about their team. Also i am reading too many ico influencers article about that ico and some code rating website.
I invested more than 30 ico and i read only 3 whitepaper i think.

I always read White paper, although much there it is unclear for me. But I see to there was of well without logical mistakes. It's like the first stage of weeding out the scam.
November 07, 2018, 01:20:17 PM
I don't invest in ICO but I always read Whitepaper. Because I am bounty hunter. And to determine the quality of the project, I read white paper. But of course not only this determines the success of the project
For the way I choose the bounty, I just look at the Bounty Manager, if the bounty runs by the BM I like, then surely I will never miss the opportunity, too troublesome to learn everything of that project November 07, 2018, 01:08:32 PM

As an investor and a content writer I always read the whitepaper of any ICO project I pick interest on to get if the project is real and secure to put in my funds also to get more inserts on what to write about the project as a blogger to avoid plagiarism. Many people find it difficult to read and understand before investing on any project which normally leads to scam and regret at the end.
November 07, 2018, 12:31:27 PM
nowadays there are a lot of ICOs that are created and they are trying to be one of the best ICOs and trying to raise as much money as possible, only this ICO is usually not too much the new ones are just a little different, these investors are looking for a very new ICO can have very high demand, several times I read a lot of ICO whitepapers at this time everything is almost the same and already boring.
November 07, 2018, 12:27:02 PM
Let mw tell you mosto fthe recent whitepaper lack technical details of the project, most can't compared to Bitcoin Whitepaper and more of a marketing Gabage, what I do recently is to look at the team, the quality of the team, the partners the project has and VC investors the project has.

November 07, 2018, 12:15:53 PM
Participated in 4 initial coin offerings and I think I have read about 10+ whitepapers. Most of the time I just scan a whitepaper and if I like it I will fully read it. But going from reading it to really participating in the ICO there is a huge bridge between it. A whitepaper is (like many others have mentioned here) not enough to invest in the ICO.
There are many ICOs who have abandoned their whitepapers since raising funds. It's quite normal nowadays for projects to change their trajectory in which they are headed.

I have invested in about three ICOs and I have fully read more or less ten whitepapers. I usually just scan most of the whitepapers since a lot of them look so similar. If I find something interesting, I set it aside first and find a good time to read it fully.
November 07, 2018, 11:48:09 AM
I do not read white paper, if the project does not have at least an alpha version of its product, if there is already a beta version, then this is very good. I also see if there are partnership agreements and good advisors, because this is a very big part of the project’s success. I do not advise you to invest in projects based on white paper.
At one time I read a lot of white papers, but you can write anything in them. Now I choose a project by team, existing developments and site icodrops.com
November 07, 2018, 10:32:35 AM
I think that it’s necessary to say right away that I don’t take part in investing if I don’t read white paper, of course I read more than one white paper and I understand that in general there should be written there, I didn’t consider, because sometimes I read just like that because I have nothing to do.

I am not counting how many white paper readings I did. But speaking of ICO whitepapers, most of them are really bad and it is hard to know which one is good especially most of them are actually focusing on the product this year and not on the coin's price.

Did not invest money in ICO.In order to invest there you need to study the project well and also consult with many people who have experience in this area because there is now a lot of ico, and many of them are just promises on paper and are worthless.
November 07, 2018, 02:34:57 AM
rarely I invest in the project if it does not really have good quality. but the white paper is that often times I read. It is also important because of the potential to determine the outcome of the bounty whitepaper gives an overview and results of the project will be visible from here.

Almost all of the ICO projects that I joined to have read all the whitepaper. Even when I only join the bounty campaign, I also read the whitepaper. Because when you don't, what is the reason for you to join in the bounty campaign. It is good to read the whitepaper, to know more about the project.
November 06, 2018, 02:58:49 PM
A very good question, because most people certainly don’t read white paper, because it may contain information that is not related to the project, but most importantly you invest money in pictures.

Thank you Kaka for your valuable input opening a wider room for discussion.
Usually, it is the ICO that makes the whitepaper. White-paper is also a great guide for the team to focus on. I agree that it is extremely important to keep the community informed, the team should be working as much as they can to full fill their road-map and the developers should be extremely competent. We are going to launch our own ICO shortly.

I have read each whitepaper. I took part in 20-30 ICOs during 2018 and I thought it is a must for everyone at least to read the whitepaper, before taking part in an ICO. But it did not bring me a lot fo benefits, because 90 percent got negative outcomes.
November 03, 2018, 06:09:58 AM
I invested in 3 ICO projects and all three times failed. Although I studied the project very well (one of my criteria was the study of the whitepaper). Everything was perfectly written there, but the project was still scam.
November 03, 2018, 02:49:12 AM
The whitepaper must be reviewed before you invest, because if you don't read the whitepaper you will be in the wrong way, and in the end you will be deceived

Countless ..... This is a terrible field, probably tens of thousands of ICO projects around the world, but this has been gradually reduced, to know that ICO lost its light, the development team collectively sold Ethereum.

I always read whitepaper of each project, more than 100 until now. Reading whitepaper is the first i'm going to do before i make the decision to join the project, or not to join. Whitepaper is the most important part of a project, it shows information about vision, concept, products, team members, roadmap, token sale information, technical, tokenomic. So we should never ignore reading whitepaper before taking decision.

whitepapers are not the main benchmark for assessing an ICO at this time, because of the large number of ICOs that finally failed after thinking of a good system planning, for now I spend more time searching for a good bounty with the success of a good ICO, of course not just reading the whitepaper, but see some reviews that have been carried out by trusted ICO assessors

i have invested in 2 ICOs and never read white papers. normally i read reviews about them and decide i invest or not. anyway we can get better idea if we read whitepapers. also doing research about team members is important
October 21, 2018, 08:30:50 AM
Honesty if I am going to invest in ICO then I first go with their social network status like Twitter, reddit and Twitter etc and read their posts an blog after I read their white paper and then I trying to find out who I behind this project like team members and also find out those team is really exit in this world or not. After all this research then I decided to invest or not. In this year I did not invested in any ico but last year I invested many ico and also get a good return on it. I hope next year will be a good time for ico investment.
October 21, 2018, 08:25:26 AM
Honestly saying now a days there are around 10/1000 peoples IMO who reads whitepaper. Now a days peoples are more interested in the partnerships and the investment from the VCs in the ICOs. Brief details about the ICOs can be easily found on the websites like their technology and concept's, token matrix, team members and advisor, use of funds after fundraising.
October 15, 2018, 01:54:09 PM
I would say around 20 and most of them were last year when i was myself a newbie in this space so made some bad choices and faced loss and also i was not reading the website and whitepaper thoroughly but now i have learned slowly and we can say the hard way now i thoroughly inspect each aspect of a new project before investing.
