I don't use criteria anymore, and that isn't because I hop into every ICO. To me if the coin actually is a viable solution to what we have now, how come we can't airdrop and build a community around it? I prefer this method of distribution, and see no need for ICOs other than grabbing money from newbies.

First of all, Do you know what is the real of essence of ICO in the first place. ICO is for an initial funding for the start up project so without this kind of funding then a project will never be started especially if the devs team is not financially capable to start a project. Airdrop is a good way to distribute free tokens in different people but airdrop is use too by the devs to scam. Giving free tokens and then once listed on the exchange. OFC there will be a liquidity because of airdrop hunter selling their tokens which is what other newbie investor mistakenly saw as it's an active trading. Once the price pump due to newbie investors then the devs will dump their pre-mine coin and abandoned the project. There is so many history just like this one. So Airdrop alone is a big no.

Well I am also new in ICO investing and just invested in 2 very successful ICO’s but ended up in loss... one of them was trade.io was very hyped and generated good funding in the ICO but don’t know why It just keep going down after entering exchanges...I think doesn’t matter how much you analize the ICO but you need some luck as well so good luck

The project must try to solve a problem which cannot be solved by Bitcoin or any of the other existing cryptocurrencies. If this is not the case, it is most likely a gimmick-scam of sorts. Even if it's not technically a scam, it may be most likely an unnecessary project.

Now this doesn't mean it cannot be lucrative. Confidence and marketing goes a long way. A well marketed product can bring huge profits, even if it's not really revolutionary or gamechanging, so if you are here for pure profit, research the project and the marketing team.

I rely on many factors, can be as follows:
The most important first is the idea of ??the project is new or not? Overlap with previous projects?
Next is their dev team is really good and reliable. Who are their partners? How long does it take?
How does their community support it? and updates on their media channels

The first thing imho its the idea itself. It should be the idea that may become real. Then comes the team with or without MVP. And the rest at the end:)

I think your criteria is perfectly fine to weight any ico and its rating. ~

I am see that VLB has unique concept in Auto Industry, but i dont know how ICOBench has given under 4 Score.
In 2018 many Project based on automotive, we can see Cube with their Autonomous Car, and it makes investors attract and spend on that project.

The criteria normally for good ICO are the content of the white paper, is it a concept that is achievable? what is the product that the team tends to established and who are the project team members and what experience do they have, have any of them been involved in any similar project were they successful? After you research and you are satisfied with the outcome then go ahead and invest in that ico.

Hey guys, I am trying to develop a model to price and score ICOs. I believe this model can potentially help a lot of people. By developing a model that is as objective as possible, I can start to accurately rank and score ICOs. This will help to weed through all of the scams and junk out there. I just wanted to know what are some objective criteria that you use???

The things I can think of so far.

Team- Various objective criteria
Coin- Various objective data like hard cap and discount
Vision- What needs are the project solving
Project Value- which blockchain, status of product, alpha, beta stage etc..
Concerns- competiton
etc...

I appreciate any input! Thanks

I think your criteria is perfectly fine to weight any ico and its rating. I myself invested in VLB token and weighted the ICO on these paramters. I found they have a great team to work with and have a great vision for the future too. Their token sale also looks good as their capital requirement completely suits up with their project expectations.

my model is:
the purpose of the project;
the decision of the put purposes;
command;
alpha and beta versions of the project;
and probably the main means for implementation.

I attach great importance to the usefulness of the project. If, in my opinion, the idea repeats itself, or it is absolutely utopian or useless, I pass by. Project estimates are also important. The higher the rating of people who are engaged in scrupulous analysis, the greater the confidence in the product.

Among all these, i would believe that

Team- Various objective criteria
Coin- Various objective data like hard cap and discount
Vision- What needs are the project solving
Project Value- which blockchain, status of product, alpha, beta stage etc..
Concerns- competiton
etc...

I am more towards possibility of success and how far it can go
First of all
Team is kinda important because you can see if their background is just Business based or they are some Technology enthusiast.
Next, Hardcap is one of my concern because i would prefer coins with lower HCap because IMO they don't need that much
Vision must be reliable and realistic
Finally, Blockchain selected is important because each have different pros and cons in terms of scaling, framework and structure

The standard I use for analyzing the ICO is what is the team that formed the project, the project team and the content of the project. A potential ICO project will be a project founded on experienced people who have breakthrough ideas that can appeal to everyone. I think this is the standard for my analysis of ICO projects

Sometimes it can be fake !
I have my own local coin that they using parliamentarian as their team that form the project.
After reporter confirm this, that parliamentarian has not join any cryptocurrency project because he against bitcoin.

Of course the project want build their reputation in haste so they include parliamentarian on their team !

Normally what I do is I read their Whitepaper. Because by reading the whitepaper we get the whole idea about the project and we get all the information in the Whitepaper. Like Technical Details, Legal Information, Team Information and Road Map so all in one. So its better to read the Whitepaper and you will get the whole Idea about the ICO.

The basis of choice is a fundamental analysis. If you decide to engage in fundamental analysis, as a result, you will have your own set of rules for decision-making. Do not try to get a ready algorithm or a rigid scheme. This is not science, but, rather, art. As for my personal experience, there is nothing more important than the aspect of communication. The most reliable way is to look at how the developer builds communication with potential investors. Is he professional enough in the field of his proposal.

Take note : I am not an investor but as a bounty hunterthe criteria i always check before partipating in a bounty campaigns are : How much is the total allocation of the bounties from the total supply ?, the one who is managing their ann thread in the forum, the platform/s where it is going to be listed or partnered with, the team and the developers behind the creation of their projects, and lastly, i always check their social media sites whether they are updated or not, if not i will going to quit in their bounty campaigns right away.

It is very helpful to check facts such as:
1. Whitepaper- contains the important information regarding the upcoming project and ICO. What are the problems that this project is going to solve?
2. Token- What is the token for? When and How will it be distributed?
3. The team- Who are the team members? What are their experiences in crypto? The projects they have been involved and the impact?
4. ANN Thread of this forum- Bitcointalk is the biggest forum for Bitcoin and other cryptos.

It is a good enterprise that helps people to identify the best ico's.In my opinion Team and the mission of the project is more important for a project. If a team will be more active and constantly work on their project I think it will be big ico .

The first thing I see is their development team, whether they are active to always answer investor questions or not. I also often check the enthusiasm of investors in their telegram group.

If you are looking for ico, look at the effect.ai, token sale stage 2 is now live and if you are interested take some time to research it.
