Topic: many ICO altcoin , What can be trusted? - page 14. (Read 6976 times)

To my mind you start wrongly from your first rule. Investing of money that we can afford to lose means no important profit unless you are a billionare and number of such people is very low. ICO is mostly for normal investors, for people who can risk more than they can't afford to lose.
That's why investors need to know details and try their max to choose right and trustwortht ico.

You have to look at the plan of the project because at this you can you can see the best which are spams and which aren't.

not all ico altcoin trusted, you must choose is good dev team and plan project
but this 2017 iam not found ico selling is scam, all ico selling distribute coin and added to exchanger, but is several coin very long time distribution and added to exchanger

I have a simple way to use, choose the hottest ICOs thread .I believe the best icos are the most accepted.

There are some ICO projects that you can doubt but there are projects which are legit operating and does have a very well and legit support. But if you are doubting to participate any bounty campaign of them then just don't join them if it gives you some feeling not to trust them. It's your duty to do some research about the projects that you want to trust.

It is not worth losing a bunch of money on something that one has no information on. If people could make a bunch of money just by throwing it around without aiming for anything then there would be a bunch of really rich people right now.

If the right amount of information on the coin is placed within the thread the people that research the coin will be allowed to relay the information to someone else that is looking to invest and the price of the coin will go up, that cycle will continue to grow until there won't be any coins left to trade.

And this is the key fundamental fact about iCOs if you are not sure to do the extensive investigations or rely on some other people analysis intelligently don't bother put your money or get involved any way because since time of the beginning and even till now going into the future, people will continue to lose in ICOs while some others will win in ICOs without any difficulty.

agree strongly, my coin is non ipo and non ico, I have no ones money, my coin is made for you by me.

My advice is to be careful where you put your money at.
It's like when you decide to buy shoes, do you like how they look? What they're made of?

Keep in mind that if their project looks so promising that it seems like it would never happen, it probably wouldn't.
The stages before investing should look something like this:

1. Get to know what they offer. Do you think that the project may have future? Are the people going to use it? Do they even need a blockchain?
2. Investigate the team and see if they already participated in different projects, do they have any history in this sphere?
3. See if their product is available for test. Go ahead and test it.
4. Read everything, collect as much information as possible. Whitepaper, Roadmap, Articles from trustworthy sources etc.
5. See if there are any holes in their project if you think that there are some you should trust your guts and stay away or see if they offer a solution.
6. Invest at your own risk and do not believe those Hype comments "This is the future of altcoins, the best project so far. To the moon and beyond..". Take your time and make your own research.
7. If you already decided that you like their project and want to invest, invest as much as you're willing to lose. This way you won't feel bad if the coin just couldn't make it.


Scam coins are all over the market now and you can't trust anything these days. I suggest you to stick with those who have been here for a while and have some awaiting projects. It's more secure that way at least for me.

This is hard sometimes to choose what ICO are worth investing for. But since money is involved we have to be careful and thorough research their roadmap and whitepaper. And also be updated on their social media account sometimes it will add on the status and updates on their project.

This sounds reasonable. because I conclude that we alone make decisions on what we examine from the project. but not necessarily what we examine about the project will not be a scam, this is indeed difficult

Yea there a lot of ICO - initial coin offerings. To know who are trusted read the white paper what are the project they do tobecome success and watch the improvement by how many people invested his many coins sold .

Trust on what you have really research of, you cannot spend a lot of time for all altcoins therefore you need to choose what really
has a potential to bring big success in the future. Also, if we choose we have to invest not only for short term but also for long term
because the real value is when it continue to successfully progress.

In my opinion, it is actually wise to dig deep about a certain project before you can make your actual investment. Research about it so that you don't end up dumping your funds in the ocean. Ensure that the following documents are brought forward all the times: whitepaper, technical if available,roadmap. There are some ICOs which are good in my opinion, Dimcoin, social, opus etc.

That is now the difficult thing investors should be trying to do something with. Scams are not outright scams in their appearances. Otherwise, their motives will get burnt immediately and earn nothing in return. Scams then should look like totally legitimate projects, made with careful efforts and marketing. What we should do now is to exert more efforts in our due diligence. A little digging is really needed here. Research is needed now more than ever. Or else we are throwing away hard-earned money. In the end, if there is a little doubt, avoid the ICO altogether.

You need to follow the X-files policy when you are dealing with ICO: trust no one.

If you can get your coins from giveaway or bounties better, because you won't put money or eve worse, Bitcoins in risk.

Before you join the Altcoins Bounties. Investigate and research Investigations as you know it is true and do not fool because you have all the effort tired of posting if it is just a scam and you will not pay. To find out if you are in good path You are in a company and know the leaders have good goals in the future

Rule number one looks like some self excuse to shave the sheeps for that much as they can afford. Contravener perspective applied here.
By a rule of thumb there are several red flags waving around any scammy ICO. Whitepaper of course, count buzzwords. General approach of the afford. People involved, where are their faces and how do they appeal to you?
Many small signs.

I think campaign bounty is free way to get coin, it's good but of course, we can see the dev team, manager campaign, and escrow. But sometimes that way only get scam/ dump coin, make stress. But no one knows which one can be trusted, just follow the campaign and face the risk. Do the job and pray the result. Good luck.

Well it depends on the project you are joining. That is why you should know every project you are supporting. If you do not know the theme and the concept behind the project you're supporting then you are doing an immoral work and could lead you not trusting the ico/project.
