The devs who made up the names thought they could avoid prosecution by calling an IPO a different name, but I doubt it will work in the long run. As far as I'm concerned IPO, ICO, and pre-sale all mean exactly the same thing.

Isn't ICO Initial Crowdfunding Option?

Either way I'm not sure how much longer they'll be around. Authority types are starting to sniff around a few dodgy efforts.

I have read in many altcoins announcements these 3 terms, but I haven't understood yet the real difference between them. They seem to me referring to an identical process in which altcoins devs sell some of their coins at a low price.

What's the difference?

IPO: Initial Public Offering, like was done for maidsafecoins

ICO: Initial Coin Offering, like was done for Nxt

Pre-Sale: Selling out before launch, like was done for ethereum
