Defining THE LIST
A growing list of questions assembled by the crypto community, broken into segments, organized sequentially, and used as a framework for analyzing ICO opportunities.
Do you agree?
Crypto-KristenTHE LIST Fundamentals
- Strong sources lead to strong opinions
- Data is neither “good” nor “bad”
- Perfection is the enemy of done
- Come to terms with your personal bias
Anything you would add?

Wow...great feedback from @MichaelMeu, thank you! THE LIST is looking sharp.
Also, re: the hype section. Note that the response to each question is not necessarily positive/negative, just facts... so a lack of hype despite positive factors in other areas would not strike an ICO from consideration. BUT if other factors are also problematic, then non-existant or negative hype can make an impact of the ultimate success of the ICO.

You're welcome
I'll get replying to the rest of this in a mo!
Updated!
Thanks @itsonlikedonkeykong
Have you hugged an ICO today?

Great list!
Under marketing, you should prioritize Telegram and add social media presence.
The Telegram should be very active and growing with admins and regular access to key team members for questions.
Social media should include Twitter and Facebook at a minimum, with a LinkedIn Company page as well. Each key team member should be easy to find on LinkedIn, listing the project as well.

Completely agree. Updating the list shortly.
Thanks for the input!

Hi all,
I am working on a video or a series of videos to go with THE LIST. First will be a primer on THE LIST and how it is intended to be built and used. Later, I can focus on specific sections and/or can apply THE LIST to specific ICOs.
Thanks everyone for the collaboration!

Investing in coins is pretty slow in my experience. It can take weeks before they take off and you see a profit.

I think there are problems with this section... some questions shouldn't be here. What do you think?
9. Hype: what are people saying about the ICO? (ratings + community + PR)
9. Hype: what are people saying about the ICO? (ratings + community + PR)
- ====>Is there a well-developed whitepaper?
- ====>Is there a professional website?
- Does the project have an announcement (ANN) thread on BitcoinTalk?
- Is there a Reddit community?
- Is there an official presence on Slack, Rocketchat, Gitter, Telegram?
- Does the company report progress on a regular basis?
- Are there a significant number of users on the main social media pages for the project? (Bitcointalk, Telegram, Twitter, Medium, and YouTube)
- Is the social community diverse?
- How is customer service and tech support on the project's social media accounts?
- Is there a bounty program?
- Is there an airdrop?
- How often has the project been mentioned in the press?
- Has the project been mentioned in mainstream technology media and in prominent finance publications? (Techcrunch, VentureBeat, Forbes, WSJ, Reuters, etc.)
I don't see much wrong here, you have covered the main marketing tools when it comes to ICOs, maybe you could look into the number of people who are involved in the bounty program? If it is popular. I think you could also look into their own content creation methods as well, I find that usually when an ICO has been mentioned in the press, it is because they have thrown money at it rather than it actually being a good project.
Maybe also include events? I know it's always refreshing when they are also great online as well as offline.
Other than that it is a great list, I am impressed! Keep up the good work.
Really great list, I will share this with all my friends who want to get involved in ICOs but don't have a clue where to start.
Good topic, i agree about your point "Is there a working prototype?"
I think that poin is the most crucial. Many ICO, don't have any working product. They only focus on their crowdsales rather than the product.

To me one point should be clarified better: what do u mean when u say "well-developed white paper"?
What are the indicators that could lead to a good review?
It may sound obvious but it's not
Plus, but that's a personal view, to me, having a high reward program (+ 30/40/50% bonus for example in ICO) gives me the impression that team needs to push the product through marketing because otherwise that wouldn't be too appealing (IF there's a product yet).
Advertising is fundamental but to me, when you have a nice set up, a focused roadmap and most of all a clear vision of your business that is implemented through your product, you don't need to go that far with numbers pre-market.

What about a section for Marketing in addition to a section for Hype. So Hype is how the crypto community and general public respond to marketing and PR initiatives (or lack thereof). Marketing is the go-to-market strategy and related tactics (e.g., website, advertising, bounty programs, etc.).
Make sense??

DANG @panghae. Thank you. :-)
I'm just stoked to be here.

Thanks for the comprehensive list of TODO evaluation points for an ICO. Clearly, it is
plenty of hard work and not a trivial task for most common investors.

in my opinion, the first is understanding the website. only takes 3 minutes
then discussed in the telegram about 30 minutes to find out the developer more closely
and read whitepapers and other supporting documents for about 30 minutes
and lastly I will visit ICOBENCH.COM to find out the rating of expert blockchain

Thank you! Sounds like an efficient process. I'm guessing you are no new kid on the crypto block.
You watch the martial arts master move effortlessly through complicated, powerful movements without breaking a sweat. You ask the master, "how do you do that?!" Master replies, "I do nothing."
Best,
