ICOBench held sway during the peak period of ICO frenzy in 2017 but now that the industry has moved away to new crowdfunding methods such as IEO, IDO etc, they have lost relevance and patronage. Gone are those days that you have to look up a project on the website to help you make decisions.

This proves to show that the cryptocurrency industry is really evolving fast, I hope it matures to global acceptance soon.

ICObench is taking a card out of the soft EXIT SCAM game.

The Telegram Official Telegram Chat has been all deleted and the admin team have disappeared.

Here is the most up to date info so far on this ico rating trainwreck.

from what I know, ICObench has no update from more or less 5 months ago, exactly February and I think it seems they have closed, but I don't know for certain that maybe fewer interested people want to invest every month or something like that.

I think its better for you to be the one to investigate or review an ICO project that you one to participated too because some of the review in there are overrated

I'm not surprised by the problems with this site because for the last few years i have forgotten the ico rating site. Then i urge everyone not to invest in any new project as per the information of all these rating sites because they help raise the rating of a scam project in exchange for money. I think all new investors should know about these sites in advance so they will not be deceived.

Hey guys,

The site is not loading for a few days. Wonder is ICObench.com now REKT?



Asking for a friend.
What are your thoughts?

Norm

seems this site not dead yet because I can still access this site or maybe I am wrong to access the original ICObench site? https://icobench.com/ for me it does not matter if this site already is dead or not because I am not too interested in accessing or trying to find ICO on this site. please access the link I provided and hopefully it will be useful for you, friend.

Hey guys, quick update.

Today the site is back up at ICObench.com. No mention of the outage! The content is old (last blog post date Feb)
and no new ICOs or IEOs listed.

Maybe just a weak interest or Covid difficulties? Is anyone paying these people? 

Anyway thanks for the replies!

Go make some crypto and save the world!

Cheers! 
It's possibly that it has weak interest now since there are too many fake reviews there that guiding their followers/viewers to dire ICO's. Btw this is better, Their reviews are too much obvious that it is paid after years. Shit ICO's are spreading on their site and losing them can make investor research more about the projects and not to rely on such review sites.

I thought it was dead, I tried downloading it several times but there was no return from the website. It's good to see this site crash because they have too many FUDs and misleading ICOs

ICObench is dead.ICOs are dead.
Actually they went through a series of rebranding just because the name of  "ICO" was smeared by a lot of correct accusations. Just like how MLM scams change forms.

ICO>STO Security Token Offering>ITO>IEO was what happened. Next some Initial Blah Blah offering is going to come and continue the legacy.

Again the site was well known and they have probably disbanded and taken time off to venture into other sectors - this would be my assumption. We have seen that ICOs did not just rip of users but also bounty managers and data aggregation sites like these which were dependent on the ICO boom to make money from the traffic.

ICObench is dead.ICOs are dead. Tongue

In all seriousness, I think this site is just down temporarily. Regardless if ICOs have been on a ride to the grave for a while now, no doubt that this website is still valued a good amount of money(and is still making a good amount of money, just a lot lower than it was making in 2017).

This is accurate one and since ICO's are dead then theres no point for these ICO listing or review sites to exist even if they are still up to this moment then

i cant see the relevance of its existence yet we know on how shitty ICO's had become after all these years.Its no surprise that ICObench do really end up like

this since theres no point if they would pursue further more.

ICO is already replaced by IEO and so they know their days are over. There had been shady advisors and reviews by them from the teams too. I remember one complaint in which an advisor is asking 3ETH for a review and during that time I think ETH was worth $600.  I didn't follow the updates of that thread but it happen somewhere around 2018. If their site has been dead then its dead. I hope they won't be creating IEObench.

For having a huge failure of the ICO's recently for sure they are much affected since they didn't get any good revenue since they didn't see a good project to be listed on their platform, but I hope this thing is temporary only since this is the listing site I visit first before when I want to find a new ICO to invest or to lurk on.

Anyways guys do you know any other sites next to ICObench?

The site was lastly updated last month. They are probably could not run the platform any more. Many of those ICO listing site come from the project they are posting. I also worked for a top ICO listing platform so I understand this very well. Unless they run ads, it is very hard to manage this days since people are not much interested in investing in ICO.

The profit of ICObench comes from those ICO's who are paying them to increase the ratings of the project.
Now that the ICO's aren't that popular already or should I say not all investors are following the ratings of their site, their site is technically useless already and one thing more the number of investors investing in a new project declined in the past years because of the scams that happened.

So literally or maybe the site is down already but who knows Cheesy. Maybe they will come back again to scam investors thru their fake ratings.

Yes, it's likely that they are. I recently commented to someone's post on Legal about them.
Thread: ICO Bench Shady Workings

You should read the posts there.

The website didn't load for me anymore. This is the code.

Code:
This site can’t be reached
icobench.com took too long to respond.

And for their LinkedIn account, they've been last active since 7 months ago.
