Topic: Too much projects, good projects cant reach crypto ethusiasts (Read 563 times)

not all projects are scams, indeed lately projects have come and gone, I understand your situation,
but let me remind you, if there are still good projects here, first analyze and do your research, it will be safe

I agree. There are really lots of project within the market since the that literally crowding the cryptocurrency market. The market is mostly composed of those coins that come from ICO projects that have been listed into various exchanges after promotion in which not all do really have value because mostly, those coins are just promising at the first months of it being listed and as time passes by turns out to be an unworhy or invaluable crypto because people are just seeing the importance of it because of the price it have and not by the use of the project itself. It is really sad that those projects that really have great idea and potential are being set aside because they are being over powered by those projects that are already common but have a desirable price and reward. The essence of creating real solutions to problems using crypto launched by projects are being mainly focusing into the price over the idea of the project which makes those potential project ideas to fail. There are lots of potential projects within the market that are still not being noticeable and it will be a challenge for us to find them and discover them.

Not only that how many people are still looking for good projects to begin with? Not many, when I first joined this market I was excited about the new possibilities and how those new projects will perform in the future.

But now I do not care, I know the majority of them are scams and it is simply not worth my time to try to find them, even if I invested my time in trying to find a good project I could spend months trying to do it only to waste my time in the process.

You are right there are too many projects. I would not even give them the respect of calling them a project since most of them are exactly the same. Website token and social media and bounty and nothing more. Yet people still support. The truth is anyone can make an ico of that quality.

We have got more worthless token than a valuable token. The market is full of shit coins and this has made it difficult to be able to see the good coins. Many at times we have to struggle to be able to see good projects.

It is true that there are lots of existing cryptocurrencies from different projects that are just sharing the same thought of ideas that is why they do not really stand out from one another. Many existing cryptocurrencies in the crypto market that is why there are also lots of variations you can see but it is hard to sort out good cryptocurrencies from worthy projects because of the numerous count that exist within the market. Sadly, good and potential projects that have unique ideas are not being appreciated due to low funds and reward for bounty hunters that is why such projects do fail and do not have a chance to stand out to reach the attention of potential investors. Due to the reason that people are more likely to be attracted to bounty rewards that they can obtain from a project that causes good projects with small funds are being set aside and fail. Potential projects are everywhere in the forum but you are needed to have patience to seek for them on your own because mostly potential projects are not discovered because of promising projects that offers big rewards but fail to fulfill it in the end.

Many people decide to invest at the ico or the ieo stage because of the bonuses they receive but that is not right, a smart investor waits until the coin hits the market and sees how the coin begins to perform, if he sees that the coin is crashing then there is no point for him to invest in that coin but he will keep monitoring it to see if after the crash there is enough volume for him to buy some of it for a low price.

And then once that coin recovers a little bit he will make a lot of money by simply waiting for the right time to invest in that coin.

You are right there are even some projects that fade out due to low community and supporters because they have no volumes on exchanges and all the exchanges delist them one by one resulting in the removal of the token from all trading venues which  discourages investors and holders and even team members that negatively effects the project and many abandon the project even if it is really good.

No matter what how good the idea is, I still do think that the section that it could ever have would be producing no more  than the trend project or what is in the hype. It is hard to conclude early on having just a guts if such project would be going good in the end. But it is a good idea by the way.

It isn't that there are too many projects. Many projects is a good thing. The problem is there is a plague of scams and you need to ade through seas of shit to find good projects. It is fairly easy to skip over projects and find ones that are top quality and people should start doing that and not worrying about everything else. Focus on the best projects and then work your way down from there.

Good projects with excellent team members will always catch attention of investors, also with the help of bounty hunters, you can sure get the needed audience for your project without having to pay expensively for ads.
But the problem we have always been facing is that most of this projects only promises what they cannot deliver and in the long-run, the project goes into extinction.

I think there should be a regulating body for all ico's, with that, some bits of sanity might be restored back to the system.
Just thinking out loud

If you worried with new project keep watching only and use your money with older coin listed on exchange market, I think always have bigger risk and most biggest result with new coin after listing with exchange market, some time have higher price and many time will back to lower price, just your destination with new coin if you like big risk and big result you can try with new coin investment.

The only way to find those projects is the way we have always done it, you need to approach this as if you were approaching a mining operation, if you want to find gold then you need to remove tons of useless dirt that no one wants until you find the gold that everyone wants.

So if you want to find good projects you need to begin to read white papers, and you will need to research and make your due diligence about the developers of that coin, I know it is a thankless task and you will probably have to do this hundreds of times before you find a good coin but right now that is the only way to find good projects.

It should be implemented because good projects will came in existence and majority of people will be safe from scam projects. There is quantity of projects and looks like professional and successful but after reaching cap or middle of ICO sale just stop and many dead.

These kind of projects also waste the time of bounty hunters,as per rule of BITCOINTALK forum  cant change the signature till they get paid.Encourage the real projects and avoid the scam,if find any scam project share with community that members should stay away from it.

Through airdrops you receive traash community and only people who are there who join for money. That community will not help your project to grow...

This is not a static space, the attitude to life is most times applied to business, thats why some people dont accept failure for any reason. If ICO is not working try something else, ICO should not be the excuse to failure of a good project. Your idea could be the next breakthrough in the space. I dont know of any ICO or IEO ATM, which implies there could be other means to be adopted in the new phase of crowdfund..

They probably don't have budget for the ads and marketing that's why they are doing it on their own.
But at the end, they'll think of a way like crowdfunding so that they can have enough budget since their budget is tight for marketing purposes.
This how they do it.

First they do not spend millions, they promise millions for bounty hunters for their promotion and they do not fulfill the promise.


It is rare to see this kind of project, most of the project were launched just for money grab.  Those that were launch without crowfunding are moving very slow due to lack of funding.


Ideas are just ideas, even scam ICO have great ideas, the thing is they died not because of lack of funding but because of lack of ability to make those ideas to come true.  That includes lack of ability to gather fund for the project.

Looking for transparent project is impossible because many ICO and IEO always giving fake news about how much their coin sold and never giving correct information about their coin sold, this way why make many investor not interested with some ICO project when their coin success but not giving data how much their coin sold and always make bad news after their assets not sold out.

For the time being it's true, it's hard to find a good and transparent ico project. We know that many projects end up being scams and some other projects are difficult to get funding and achieve softcap so that it can be said that for now it is difficult for us to find good projects and it is better for us to invest in the top coins than in new projects.

Investing in ICO is complete waste of time, IEO is only better if you invest in projects on binance and other top exchanges, for now is rather go for bitcoin, eth, bch ltc and few other top altcoins, new projects are way too risky and unreliable

Not only market situation but because of too many project divided to many different project also. Thats why other good project cant notice by other this is the problem we are experiencing right now .because of too many coin and tokens in the markets traders also do not know where coins they need to buy and have a potential to give them profit.

Have seen a lot of good projects with a good potential who lacked support due to the market situation, too much project, and also lack of fund to advertise. Those who really are a crypto enthusiast sometimes share or even advertise it to other people for free. It's just sad that some investors are always after profit and are too lazy to look for projects that has potential. Some depends on reviews, advertisement and etc.

They died because many traders exit when bearish came. A lot of investor and ICO supporters have been irritated because their investment turned to zero. The bearish remarked the lowest point of cryptocurrency also, many projects died because of the market condition. However, time will come the good news will arrive. And we will see, the development for cryptocurrency industry that may bring back the trust for investors.

There is no one to blame even thou some bounty hunter are dumping those rewards after receiving or got listed and selling them on exchange and that could be a possibility. And because some people doesn't prepared to hold the coin for a long term since the market's flow are plummeting and we cannot control once it goes down.

And i think that those top ranked coin/tokens are much worthy to invest since the value are increasing not just days but weeks.

Therefore, for a good project, there must be a very good team. Marketing is very important. Many projects in the currency circle are very good, but lack of publicity makes many people unable to know about this project. There are too many such projects, so I think, An excellent project requires one to learn marketing and let more people know about themselves.

A good project needs a good team, otherwise, the good project will go in vain totally! Without a good team how you call a project good? If they can't reach the enthusiast then who's fault that? In this era, anybody can get attention by spending some bucks! Crypto has bounties, twitter promotion, viral promotion and so on the facility, if you need community go through an airdrop, try to giveaway Eth, BTC to get quicker attention! It's simple! If you have a good idea, handle it in a good way!

Hmm, so far definitely attractive, will have a closer look shortly and get back with my opinion. Thank you for your recommendation mate

a bad market situation has affected almost all cryptoqurrency in this industry, especially with the price of altcoin for 2 periods without experiencing significant price movements. Most of the price of altcoin has lost its value, and investors are not very interested in the current ico project.

This happens, because the major focus of the investors were to make at least a 5x profit out of the investment. When the market isn't supportive it is good to stay away. This is commonly followed by the investors, icos fail mostly when there is no product that backs the tokens. Just tokenizing won't yield good investors, during the early days it happened and now this is truly impossible.

So many new ICO/IEO projects have nothing new to offer, that's so true. Rather than bringing up new ideologies or revamping those in existence they keep repeating same project aims or make fake promises on Whitepaper.

The few projects which do not carry out public token sales tend to find it difficult to promote and also actualize the project aim due to limited funds. Such projects should organize Bounty and airdrop, have a great community, seek for private investors or volunteers, apply for free listing etc.

There are several points. Basically, I am pretty impressed with the idea in general. Team is building the reliable product. GetHashWallet is a secure hardware wallet that helps you to get into crypto safely. Exchanges are often under risks, so more ultimate solutions are requires. And guys are with easy arrow certified product that is already available for sale. Of course, I recommend you to have a closer look at them

Unfortunately the market is saturated with worthless project that should not worth any investors penny, they are only out to fill their empty bag and disappear, because of too many of this crap in the market, the few good ones are finding it hard to be recognized, so in other to get people's attention this few good project really have to strive hard to make that happen, otherwise they will remain unknown and hidden.

GetHashWallet? It seems that I've met the project somewhere, but cannot remember for sure. What exactly attracts you in their approach on the industry? Or where can I check out more on what the guys are bringing?

Not really. There are many criteria I pay attention to as well. And as for solutions I follow - there are only 2 or 3. If you are interested, my latest discovery is GetHashWallet. What I am impressed with - entirely new approach on industry. Heard of the solution already? A popular one these days

Afternoon mate. I am having pretty similar vision. Another aspect that makes sense - how team delivers experience. So I always conduct own analysis, evaluating many factors etc. So just wonder whether you are just following any project with innovations.

Talking about further crypto path, from my point of view, focus is going to change a bit. What do I mean? Investors are now a bit tired of similar and simple solutions. So as I understand, the switch will happen towards more technological and valuable solutions

it is undeniable that most ICO projects currently only offer sweet promises to investors and it can be said that ICO's reputation has collapsed, many scam projects, project funds have not been reached, projects are postponed and are not the same as their working maps. I personally think that now it is very difficult to find ICO projects that are really good & transparent.

And now there are projects that have their own funds even now they have been registered in several markets, if indeed you are interested please see this https://tachyon.eco/ even they are now running bounty https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bounty2812-3101tachyon-protocol-13000-ipxlisted-on-bithumb-006-5213146

in a bearish market it gives us a vision that coins can survive, although certainly the volume is not as good as during bullrun market conditions. projects that cannot survive will die and not have volume because they grow because of the hype not because of the pure platform they have.

The bearish market will make altcoin scam and useless dead. But for good altcoins, I think it will still exist and grow, although the price can be dumped many times. I believe that in the future when the bull market starts, good and quality altcoins will surpass and grow like 2017.

I have joined several bounty campaign before and I've learned that even good projects fail on their ICOs. Not because they lack a good marketing campaign, but because due to the drop of the cryptomarket investors fear to invest.

Right now is not important about rating site because many project although get positive rating site from many ICO project rating but after listing always have lower price, I only trust whit project serious want to develop and make new feature whit their project although have listing whit bigger market but try to update new way how make their project keep continue for the future.

The rating sites mostly offer paid reviews for those that can pay truly but then asides that, the crypto industry is overwelmed with projects with a larger majority of them shit coins. From a practical perspective, it's now far more tougher to sift good projects from the bulk than it was three years ago

If many project every day we can get participated whit many bounty campaign project and earn much profit whit bounty campaign, how if have little project we got less chance earning whit bounty campaign where many participants in little project and the end we only receive little payment whit bounty campaign because many participants.

Yeh there are way to many projects everyday, You can however recognize the better ones easily tho.
Only by the response on the topic already in my opinion, but stil finding a really good one is like a needle in a haystack.

But I agree scammers have gotten better at this as well and will make a really good Introduction and a lot of people will fall for it.
They can just say that they have good investors, advisors or good people on their team, and we can only find that out later.
When it is already to late when u already wasted your time on it.

So maybe we need a system where not everyone can post a Ann Thread or make a coin, that u actually need requirements and trusted people that stand behind the project.
Not some random guy that can scam everyone..

The reputation of new projects are ruined because of scams and it's the reason why some of you are in doubt on investing because we can't assure ourselves that investing in new projects are going to be worth it and profitable, we can't easily trust and believe them without even researching some information's regarding it. Particularly these days that scammers will always look for opportunity to deceive and take advantage of us to get the benefits they wanted. Though we can't just underestimate the capabilities of new projects because I know that some of them are still worth it despite of some judgments. I understand having that feeling because we don't know the mindsets of other people when it comes to money, we can't guarantee that being greedy will never strikes them that's why we have to be cautious and attentive. Researching is a bit laborious but it will help you determine which of those projects can give you a profit, it will also allow you to make the best decision for yourself.

Indeed they should be balance on the thing they work on but in this times advertisement is really a need thing for a project because there is a ton of projects out there so you need to have advertisements in order for people to know about it and then when they prove to the people that they are indeed a good project then people will start spreading it which is very good thing so in order for a project to have success they need to be fair and balance and also have a vision of the whole crypto space innovation.

Have you tried checking the announcement boards here within the forum? It happens to be a great place for finding new startups that otherwise may not get any promotion anywhere else. The days of almost every ICO coin mooning from the ground up is gone, you're really going to have to start practicing your due diligence these days to find the good projects because they are scattered and there are few. Some of these projects might not get announced on your ICO news feeds by twitter or on telegram. It's pretty easy spotting unsuccessful projects because they tend to be the projects that offer little to no innovation and are just clones of other projects that are flooded within the market already.

We all have a different perspective so its very hard that we distinguish both a good project. But no doubt that the space is full of promises on startup projects that are not fullfill. My concern is, as long as you see some redflags on the project along the way then move on and find a new one which satisfies your taste.

It is true that you say that a good project will certainly focus on the project they bring to be able to continue to develop the project, but funding is also an important thing that needs to be considered, without funding it is certainly difficult for the project to develop or can be called a project it requires sufficient funds to be able to continue to develop the project and introduce it to people about the project they are carrying.

Good projects will always be advertised but how without it? As for the services that advertise projects, I would not particularly trust them because for money you can buy almost any rating anywhere.

developers should focus on the product, but the project team should also not forget about the price, because there are investors who invest money and they need profit. nobody will be willing to invest simply in the enthusiasm of the team. An investor is looking for a profit but not just a concept. therefore, each new project should direct its attention to the development and to profit

New project start promote using bounty hunter skill, you can see how minimum fund that pay for us. Many good project dies not because lacking fund but they start with wrong step, powerful in promotion but not ready about system and reward. New project start with amazing target and reward but when red market happen they keep running without enough solution for investor and bounty hunter. People will leave good project not because promotion because they can't give safety and proportional reward.

For now it is true, when compared to new projects it is better to invest in old coins or maybe into the top coins in coin marketcap. We know that many new projects last year turned into scams and then made investors lose their trust to invest in new projects and I think for now they will prefer to invest in the top coins.

if you don't like it, then you can try making a thread that summarizes a good project in your opinion and starts moderating it well. sometimes the old projects that continue to appear on the main page do have a large enough community of holders compared to other projects, and ongoing discussions do not mean that the project is a scam. Then about Pos / Pow coins also included in non-ico, you can start summarizing and analyzing them.

Only good ideas is cannot compete in crypto industries, someone or a team with a good idea should have a collaboration with big companies which can promote them or funds them. Because people are matters of hype of the project and not even the project details and plan. People think hype projects will leads to coins pump because of lots demand.

We all could predict the future of trash coin, mate. Honestly, almost the ICO projects from 2017 till today died. Of course, that included hype or large projects like Eidoo, KickICO, Civic, Bancor, CyberMiles, AirToken, Etc

We saw what will happen for all hyped projects. We even know that ICOs or IEOs are just trapped cakes created for speculative markets. It's just that people forced themselves to forget those things before speculating on ICOs, IEOs.

although you see a lot of ICOs circulating and many coin offers in progress but I'm sure only a few can succeed and can enter the exchange to have high value because of the influence of demand, usually the concept they offer is good but when they are developing it will not what was planned.

For me, developer don't focus on funds. If they really serious, they prove to make good project first. And then although without hard promotion, people will know about the project and will appreciate it. But now a lot of ICOs we can see only focus on how much funds they can get and not execute it well.

Sorry, I can't agree with you! It's 2020, everyone knows how to promote their project in the crypto industry, at least they should have some fund to promote their idea in the bounty section! In ANN section, you can see every day there is a new project comes, if the project looks good, people will notice, otherwise, no one will fall into sweet talk anymore. Please share a project that is good but people haven't noticed it!  

There are predictions that institutions will lead the way in this new phase after the IEO and ICO had failed us. They are good enough to dictate the pace and could be trusted to commit our fund. We might some free token thrown around like in the early days of bitcoin to attract increased trade volume and awareness by traders and investors. The phase could be healthier to handle the bear market and pump/dump mechanism of project, It may not be easy for fraudulent project teams has almost all processes might be dictated and overseen.

Trust me the market and forum was not like this before 2016 as r here were no shifty projects but now as you said it's filled with similar projects without any uniqueness. As a result I have seen good projects failing to perform or stand out because it's really hard to search the good projects as they are lost in the barrage of scam projects. But now since people have started losing hope in ICOs hence we can expect the market to be saturated once again.

the number of projects can actually make most of them do not have a good price. the number of new tokens that appear does not guarantee it will be launched to exchangers who have high liquidity such as binance or maybe yobit. some of them don't even launch tokens. this is because there are so many new tokens and getting lots of support will be difficult because of too many.

True, what you say is very visible at this time, investors are afraid to invest in a project, even though the project looks good, but they prefer to monitor and research as far as possible, and it also makes the project will not develop in a short time.

It's not so much that there are too many projects,,, a good project will get attention organically whether there are 100 or 10000 projects. Bitcoin got attention because it was the only one of a kind for sure, but I know that one day we will also find something big and new that we will all like.

I remember Gigabytes and even Nano (same concept). They got famous even with 100s of projects launched at the same time.

many ICO projects are only a dilemma for investors. what happens, ICO projects that really want to realize new innovations in the cryptocurrency world are hampered because investors are hesitant to buy their tokens / altcoins, and of course this is a big problem for developers to make it happen. the news about the ICO chaos became more widespread and heard by potential investors, and in the end it all failed. I hope there will be a way to resolve this uproar, this is all for the future of cryptocurrency in the eyes of the world.

The large number of project scams makes investors hesitate to invest in new projects and then many new projects are slowly failing because of the difficulty of getting funding from investors who have lost confidence in these new projects. Maybe there really must be something that can encourage investors and people to be able to return to trust in the new project or it can be said to revive the ICO there must be a new rule that can at least put pressure on the scammers.

but unfortunately the current conditions do not support, after many fraudulent projects and prolonged bearish trends, making investors more careful to invest. Therefore, even though there are many good projects, their achievements are not maximal as targeted

Good project should be able to withstand any issues, problems that may come their way. Eventually having the proper plan in excicuting their ideas and being knowledgeable in their product will always be able to get investors. Good project know what their market needs and that what they need to do even not thru ICO they will get investors.

Remember that crypto enthusiast will be digging even more when there was no good project that meets their requirements to be considered as a good project. So many people and investors are doing their due diligence to identify which is the scam project. If you are having a lot of experience in the past and so many major coins were not so popular when they were on the ico phase. But their crowdsale has been getting ended instantly without need a lot of time. A good project can reach crypto enthusiasts.
It's not so scary if you have a lot of knowledge about how to do that. So many newcomers have no knowledge about that and they keep to rush it.

Bro, projects don't need thousands of dollars or even millions to promote their project. All they have to do is to promote their project using a bounty campaign and pay the bounty hunters with valueless and useless token and viola, free advertising. There's already a lot of sections or threads that is talking about a certain project having a potential but it all ends up as opinions. You can talk about a certain project in the project altcoin section if you think that it will have a bright future.

To be honest, it all comes down to professionalism. Even if a project concept sucks as long as the team handles everything well, it will attract a lot of investors.

Well yeah, not all newly developed projects have enough funds to advertise their projects. Commonly, they will start with an announcement on the ANN thread of this forum and other forums.
If they do not have any funds to advertise, they can use bounty program that pays the participants with their token. What should they do is offering them an interesting and trusted project. They should also offer interesting rewards for the bounty and airdrop participants. As we know, most projects use bounty, airdrop, and referral to spread their projects and gain more investors without advertising in paid.

We cannot know whether the project is absolutely legit or not. But for discussion, we may find them on the telegram group. There are also several websites that make ranks and reviews of the new projects (ICO, IEO, and other crowdfunding systems. But, of course, never believe only on the review or ranks or discussion, better to make your own analysis.

However, aside from those ways, I also think that the decreasing investors are because of many projects coming every day and also worries from the investors to put their funds because they may think that the projects comes into scam or even failed project. Moreover, now, some projects may be successful in the crowdfunding period, but, they will soon dump after listed on the exchange.

I would centainly agree with the fact that there are too many projects.

However, I can't say that I agree with the statement that good projects can't access funding. Good projects with solid teams and good development plans will have no trouble finding institutional angel investors or finding an exchange to have their IEOs done, even in this quite bearish market.

There's just too many projects created for the sole purpose of money making clogging up this scene.

Those project that died easily are have no strong fundamental cryptoworld is full of suprises and battle to each other those project that have a strong fundamental, good developer and real product will survive even in bearish market.

This is very much influenced by the stigma of a society. Especially people who are victims of ICO, we know that so many ICO projects that turned out to be scams in 2018, we cannot count how many victims and the effects of trauma caused. if one project succeeds in deceiving 2000 people, then if it is 1000 projects it can produce two million victims, while those victims spread grief to the surrounding environment / social media, then automatically it can affect community stigma. although the ICO is a good project.

Also, the term "good project" can be subjective. But if there project is really good with many facets and features, then time will tell when it will reach many potential investors. Lastly, even though there is a little chance that this industry can be cleaned from scam projects, the industry will continue to thrive towards its betterment. 

I don't believe that funds is the major problem of all these ICO that make them not succeed but just that the developers them selves don't have good intentions for the project other than to go away with investors money.

altcoin projects or new token currently dont support welfare of the community and almost all try to dip sweet promises in marketing ,while not sweet promises other things arise from various roadmap conditions that are't according to schedule it also becomes a problem for us when investors remain enthusiastic in old alt ,well so development of fresh projects is no longer a hot topic in conversation

Scam projects are spreading very fast and its very hard to know which project is not a scam project, investing in new projects is very scary now, for better safety its better to go for old altcoins, somehow they are still better in terms of trust issue

Its all for investors view but they are warned not to be a victim of the ICO or IEO scam. Good projects can not be good when the team can't launch the product. Cardano takes years, more than 3 years to finally launch its mainnet but it didn't really created a big market even after the release. Just not making people invest to a cheap token that has been on the exchanges for years, why would an investor invest to ICO tokens not on exchanges yet?

It's so easy to create a token or a coin that makes junk and scams projects appear everywhere. Development teams just want to fill their pockets instead of trying to develop projects.
Too many scams made investors lose confidence in ICO projects. I think it is time to have specific rules for ICO and IEO projects.

I disagree, if a project only has a good idea then it is not a good project, if the project team cannot bring the project out to the community then it is not a project either. good. So I think a really good project will always have a foothold in this market.

I have been lucky enough (my opinion tho) to found one project that i think has a potential (Newscrypto.io). But i believe they are lacking a bit in the promotion. But then again after a month of searching this is the only project i can say i liked...

Yeah i have heard that exchange listing fee's can be quite huge.. Another problem for non-ico projects..

Whit many project listed for selling on ICOs or IEO every time we get many chance which one have to invest and we can look for worth investment way for ICO and IEO, but if there have little project give us little chance which one have to invest, by many project listed their ICO and IEO we can know where this coin available for selling after ICO and IEO ended.

the problem with that section is that old project keep appearing on the front page, and there are a lot of scam posts, people are paying for comments to bring them on front page and stuff.. I know it's hard to maintain the clean forum, probably one of the hardest things to do. i'm just saying that i have kind of give up searching for new projects haha, i found a few that has potential but thats all.

The question here is, how do you rate a good project, this to me is subjective. one thing I have observe in the space about some projects that do not make noise but go about their development silently is that with time people will discover them. And again the idea of creating tokens for every project need to stop because most of these projects in the first place do not need tokens.

Alot of fake projects really running down the integrity of blockchain technology, I strongly believe regulation would help a lot, today copy cat is the case of crypto market

Only a few projects run private sales, and not infrequently many are successful, but it's hard to find. average projects do crowdfunding like ICO or IEO, with the promotion of coins or tokens that they manage, like the bounty hunter or airdrop that we know today. In essence, if the project dominates or has the potential to have success, just promotion in one or two places, then it will explode with someone talking. And for gifts for those who promote, none other than the easiest through airdrop.

Even I am happy to see a project like that, maybe they are ready for everything so they don't do ICO or promotion with other people but they are able to develop their projects successfully and even many people are interested in it.
I think this project is difficult to meet because very rarely, on average, projects now always raise funds for the progress of their projects so it is difficult to be successful if investors do not trust anymore.

The altcoin announcement section of this forum is for the legit and promising projects and if you are also seeing scam projects then you and we are responsible for it to point it out to the public and support legit projects so scam projects will be discouraged here and they will reduce from here and legit projects will remain here.

Plus I have saw a number of projects which were from some great companies who are earning millions of dollars from their businesses and still they not advertised their businesses and wanted free fund raising and faced a failure, if they will also advertise effectively then they will not fail but every investors will know about it.

It's actually true that some good projects die because of funding issues (inadequate funds) for promotions and especially for project/product development. Some of such decent projects should try to build their community, the easiest way to do that is via airdrop. After building a strong community, they can apply for free listing on exchanges that need projects with good community with that option or participate in free listing campaigns by some exchanges. They can then raise funds by selling some tokens on the exchange 😁, but not excessively and building trust in the community by giving required updates. Their ideology can even attract private investors if grace in our their side.

I'm pretty sure I have seen some new projects here boasting that they never had an ICO.


Altcoin Discussion is the right board but the problem is that there are just too many projects that are competing here. 

Maybe because people have grown tired of these new projects that no amount of advertising can make crypto investors read the first page of their whitepaper or just open their website.

I hope this post does not end up being a titan coin shill.

We rarely see project that didn't do ICO but successfully release the product and the tokens to the public. Some of these projects just distribute their tokens through airdrop, not a very common way for a serious project actually but some of them did well. Its best to invest on POW coins, the pre-mined coins are mostly distributed through airdrop. It could take time for them to be listed on exchange though.

It's indeed true that the entire ICO market is full with scammer! I won't say there are many pointless projects, but there are many projects made with one simple intention - scam people's money! So no wonder, that ICO market has reached to a level where no credibility is left and common people like us, are not anymore interested in putting in extra money regardless of the quality of the projects!

In bitcointalk, we have a dedicated section for announcing new projects. The link is below,

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0

But that section doesn't really tells us which one is good and which one is bad. You will actually have to read through the comments of the members and use your own judgment to deciding your next investment!

My personal advice, is not to put money into ICOs. Rather invest in bitcoin and Eth only!

I'm also surprised that there are some projects that did not go through ICO and it passed our attention, some of them are privately funded, which makes them capable to promote themselves without funds coming from the public and they seems to be successful from this venture, they can do bounty campaign afterwards after they hit the market and bounty hunters will be more than willing to participate.

Don't look too far. You can see a lot of projects being created and launched everyday here in the forum. Just look at the ANN section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=159.0) and Tokens (Altcoins) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=240.0) section and you will already see countless projects. And a lot of them have no funds as they are running their bounty programs paid by their own coins or tokens. They are having various bounty programs, either social media campaigns or sig campaign paid by their coins or tokens. If the project has funds, they can pay btc or eth but if not, paying their own coins. So you will know if the project has money or not, if they can afford to spend money on these campaigns.

You are absolutely right, during this long bearish season many many good projects died forever and some leave during the initial coin offer. The crypto market is unpredictable so far.

Believe me, after the project is good, it is enough to introduce a few places. After the project is good, those who use it will advertise. If the project is good, it will not take long to be discovered.

There is little chance of keeping this sector clean. Again scam and sh*t projects will be more widespread. Look at this section itself: bispex, titancoin, rankingball, and other sh*ts.

Hello

So i have been in a crypto world for about a year now (yeah you guessed it, right after that BTC pump) and I have started to notice that the crypto industry became full of pointless ICO projects that are spending millions for promotion and promises they do not fulfill.

I have been checking new projects that I find on coinmarketcap or that I see in crypto ads or twitter ads and i have come to the conclusion that they are mostly the same or they do not really stand out.

My question is how do newly developed projects that are not an ICO and don't have millions for ads even promote themselves? Where can you find them?

I have said this already, but i believe there should be a section where we could discuss projects that we believe have a bright future and need help with their promotion.

Too many good ideas die because of lacking funds...

Thoughts?
