I actually enjoy reading whitepapers as they have a lot of insight about markets in general and technology. However, before reading any whitepaper I like to go through the basic thing to save my time, looking at the team, roadmap, if they're able to explain the project in one sentence or not  Grin

One tip: don't invest in any project without reading their whitepaper, it tells you a lot about it and its future  Cool

I never do read white papers and it's just time wasting in my own opinion. I am just thinking that others will do in my favor and when that project is good then their market capital would rise otherwise they're staying on the ground and dropping. And I am assuming that you couldn't get any good ideas on that project's white paper.
I prefer telegram community over white papers because all your inquiries will be answered if that Telegram community has more active members.
I just mean, I trust more Telegram Channels rather than white papers.

In terms of white papers, i think that it's a must to see these things in a good wp:
Inform the public of the project,
What they want to accomplish,
Why they believe their product is needed,
Their roadmap which is a timeline of milestones they want to reach and when
Their methods for meeting their goals
(If it is a project that will hold an ICO) You can also find how they will distribute the tokens that are created.

Whitepapers have such an important place in project's development.
Reading what the project is about can be found in the Whitepaper. If the project does not have a Whitepaper on their website then send the developer an email and ask for one.

reading whitepapers is a great source of information for new people to the cryptospace, alot of these concepts seem very not needed sometimes I recommend you new folks to read Mybit whitepaper it will definetely open your eyes to a few pockets of the blockchains usage with certain sectors of the cryptosphere.

Anybody else has a couple of informative whitepapers, that opened your eyes to a certain technology or undervalued market or just good information?

Reading whitepaper is always become a great source but not all of the whitepaper has been written properly by the developer. Look at some projects that created crap whitepaper and it just like created by seven years old kid.

But looks like the majority of people consider the whitepaper as a source to get the more information regarding ico rather than try to understand that as a source to get a certain explanation about a new technology.

Yeah, if I see a badly written whitepaper.. The first thing ill check to second guess the ICO is if they are a foreign company. If Not I would definitely pass.

Reading white paper is necessary because recently the developers intend to not write important points about the project in a prominent place. This requires reading white paper, but it is rarely read.

Try to read the whitepaper of Quantum1net, you can find the link below in the signature. I myself did not fully understand all the technical nuances. I think this is exactly what you asked for. Read and deeply understand.

The first thing I do when I get acquainted with a new project is study WhitePaper. Only there you can find all the necessary information about the project, including the Idea, Team, Prototype, Token Sale and much more.

Yeah, I usually read the whitepaper last.. but most of those topics you touched in the second part of your sentence is usually mentioned on the website in a summary form.. the whitepaper gets real technical on the other hand.

You can also verify ICO's if they have a prototype before they hit the market on ICO bench.

you should read every white paper of project you're considering attractive for your investment. It's probably the point number one along with team members back check. I always read it

before deciding to invest in ico or buy a new token in the exchanger, I always take the time to read the whitepaper of the project, I think it's good and does not take a lot of time

Yes, reading white paper is an excellent choice for many, but nowadays, very few people understand the newspaper and instead surf the facebook or other social media sites to read the news. Because of the presence on the social network in addition to a lot of information about the virtual currency is spread on the news or social networking sites and caused a lot of public opinions.

Well it's always a must to read them if you're gonna go invest in the coin/token you're interested with isn't it?

Yes it is, but not many people are doing that. They hear a friend, youtuber (sponsored), banner Ad/Video, etc and invest a big portion of their funds, and when that project doesn't do good in the NEAR future they panic sell, and lose money bouncing around on coins. If you get personal with a project read whitepaper, watch AMA's, Presentations, join telegram groups and follow announcement, check the track history of their promises, Github activity, how involved the community is ALL the things that make you value the project and believe the vision.. then you will think the opposite way, like me I watch a project and I hope that they dont go on a bull run until I obtain my "required balance" lets say 2,500 coins.

first of all you need to have some basic understanding of the blockchain technology and have been around the technical aspect of it all to read the whitepapers and really understand them.

secondly it depends on your goals. if you are just in it for trading (an investment to make money) which is the case for most people, then reading whitepapers is a total waste of time!

I am pretty sure that not many people read whitepapers. But those who do - they develop.
I usually skip all technological side cause I am not a tech guy, and concenrate on general idea, global vision (what project is going to achieve, which problem to solve), team, advisors and hardcap (plus % allocation to the crowdsale).
I see that today people used to follow influencers and have very little personal understading and expectations. Currently market ignores some great projects because nobody from influencers speak about them - everubody is looking for new ICO with X2-4 forgetting that there are old great projects that are ready to explode.

Yeah, I never was the technological guy, but reading the papers and listening to some of these youtubers.. you can of weed out who is saying B.S. and who knows what they're talking about.. like one concept im trying to wrap my head around is the Sharding feature.. from my knowledge it basically takes pieces of information and spreads it across the network, which im guessing keeps the network/nodesup to speed alot faster because the bits of information are destributed, which breaks them down in size. I heard somewhere cant really remember with all this tech, news, and government drama.. but they were saying to run that sharding feature it will require alot of computational power and all types of stuff..

As what i see, meny amateur investors they dont really understand the project that they're putting money in because they dont read white papers usually, i dont think this habit will work since there are more and more ICOs releasing nowadays and we're risking our assets if we dont understand thoroughly what the ICO projects are and how they're doing.

It is of crucial importance to read whitepapers before deciding to invest in any ICO, I suppose. Actually I dont think that all information that the founders include in their whitepapers is real, but the point is I can observe the way they introduce their projects. Normally I take the first look at the team behind the project to see whether their profiles are good enough, and then read the rest of the whitepaper (but not as carefully as the section of Development Team)

You can judge the project's direction thru its whitepaper it is the core of each projects,most commonly the project's goal and future will depend on it,but whitepaper isnt the most valuable thing that we need to check,for me it is the team behind it,because whitepaper and roadmaps cant be done without the progress of the people behimd the project.

I don't think enough people read the whitepapers and just end up falling for the hype.

In reality, if you really want to check if the ICO is a scam - you have to study the whitepaper thoroughly.

Some whitepapers are to complicated so I prefer first to watch a video or read the lightpaper to know more about the project. If it is after that interesting for me I read the whitepaper.
