Ico=scam
There is no need to pump and dump, just take the money and run.

Some rare devs do fair ico for small price, but it is just betting your money.
(To cover vps, site,explorer, compiled wallets, etc,etc)


A lot of icos are scams but there are many many good ones. You just need to take the time to find the winners.

ESCROW AND RELEASE GOALS!

Exactly,
1. ico has reliable multi-escrow is important, also needs to release partial fund until specific milestone has been done.
2. great team, and publish the team info.
3. innovative idea
4. not overvalued, overvalued ico will be dumped sub ico, would be losses there.

Some of the coins here are just pump and dump coin with nothing to offer to investors,so your guide should be about usage,transparent,who are the people behind the coin and of course innovation,there are many factors but these are the top ones.

Never ending parties are what Im into.
If you guys want to see how a proper ico is handled check out purevidz. Their dev is uber professional, they're not asking for a crazy amount of btc, its has multiple escrows and even milestone completion tasks before getting the ico money from the escrows.

Others icos do it different but when I see a staff member of bitcointalk and the most well know escrow on bitcointalk working together on an escrow job it just screams at me. If the dev was a loser retard I wouldn't invest even with the superstar escrow team but this dev seems very competent and seems to know his shit.

imo any ICO is risky. Usually devs are unknown, after ICO projects might be abandonned, ICO money is lost and everyone disappeared. Too many scams happened.

There is no transparency in an ICO. Its all smoke and mirrors. Don't be fooled into throwing your money away.

Hi,

I am considering, there are so many criterias which can influence a decision to invest or not in current ICO Crowdsale? Are you able to exclude top 5 criterias which are the most important (and why?) for your decision to invest or not? (ROI? Team? Relevance of project? …)







People behind the project,unmoderated threads so people can ask freely,escrow in one trusted escrow so we'll be sure that dev will not run away with the money and we can scrutinize the coin if it is really legit and of course transparency,not hiding anything from those who are asking.

To invest in ICO it's necessary trust. I agree with you, you need to know who is running the project, what are the benefits they offer, if they don't look professionals, don't invest.
But I still agree with others here. Don't invest in ICOs is the best to do, wait more time, follow the coin progress and buy it when the coin is in the market.

You should study what amount of ICOs have ended up with a price that's higher than what the ICO sold off at the begining. If im not mistaken, this is a very smart %. This alone shows how lucky you must be to pick up a good deal.

But if you still want to get in a ICO, investigate the project, learn about it, and very important: learn what the total supply of the coins will be. No matter how good a project is, if the inflation is too big, the investment will go down (look at ZCash)

Yes inflation is also an issue,unless the coin has a lot of projects and dev is a big whale and can set up a buy wall for his coin,his coin will end up a dead coin,anyway they can still opt to burn their coin,there's a coin that can do that for you and it's name is Barr..

Transparency plays a big factor to me and expertise,these are my main guide in choosing the right ICO to invest if any one of this absent I will not invest at all,there's no way they can develop a coin without people behind it knows how to code a coin and set up projects,and if they failed to answer all investors queries,people cannot trust that project.

let some other mark take the hit. don't put any money into them. if it's a real project then it'll launch on an exchange and almost certainly collapse as people run for the exit. once it's settled down a little then it might be worth a closer look.

icos are run by assholes for assholes.

to be honest, it is better to stay away from ICO because the outcome is too unpredictable,it is like choosing an item in the dark place, there are no indicator what is the bad coin and what is the good coin, because the coin is still in an early stage, and i had failed 2 times investing in ICO and i don't think i want to repeat that mistake again

Stoned & Stranged

That doesn't answer what is the most important criteria. I have always made money on ICO and what I usually go for is pretty pictures and anonymous devs with no escrow.

yeah I would look for the same things. Also broken engrish and almost no info on the coin is a must

Just don't invest in ICOs and you will be good. You can buy them later on the open markets if the project and the team is true.

This is highly recommended of course there are profit if you are the first trader of the coin,but you can save yourself from scam ICO,some of these Ico small portion hardly get into exchange and if they ever get in,it is just to  pour their premine.
