we know now that ICO is now starting up a lot and getting started everywhere but we have to choose a good ICO for the future, and if I think I will choose ICO with a nice and interesting RoadMap and a definite Whitepaper with the intention of the ICO Wink

3. find information about them online and in mass media.
4. I read white paper

The first things that I look in a project is the team, then the other important things are the idea, and then also all the economics details.
I'm following a project called Gilgamesh that imho has strong basis

Personally I look into :-

a) The concept - Does it actually do something that is needed? Why are they creating a token?
b) The team - Is it strong in all areas (Not just developers, but marketing and strong leaders to steer the project)
c) The numbers - Amount of issued coins, finite amounts, how they are splitting the allocations
d) The white paper - Needs to be professional, have they put thought into this? Do they know where they are going?

Finally recently I have been attracted to ICO's that have some sort of a working product, I love the idea that I have the concept as well as the ability to actually access what they are trying to create.

First of all, you start with a background check. Look into the team, advisors, roadmap and main investors. Make sure they are here to solve a problem and have a future doing so. I discovered Karma (https://tokensale.karma.red/) a p2p lending platform. The Karma app is decentralized and it executes on different servers. The ICO has been a success, reaching to 3.6 M USD. When buying tokens you'll get a 15% discount.

We almost consider everything about them. Roadmaps, awards, projects, etc. this things helps us to measure whether the ICO really do great and the tokens are growing consistently. Also an organizs set of team and great advisers add to the reputation of the whole ICO, if the team is a set of shitty team well most likely i don't want to get involve with them.

First you must look in their website , if the website is amazing and has a great display it means that the team really is working hard for their project and also look for the hard and soft cap of the ico for better decisions.

The developers will still be the big factor if the coin will survice its ICO,theres a lot of ICOs with promising projects but ending up failed.

Help me with your opinion.

We’re having an argument over whether it’s better to show cumulative funding goals in an ICO or token sale doc.

Does it:

a) give you more reassurance they know what they’re doing and have a roadmap
b) not make a difference to your opinion
c) negatively influence your opinion
d) something else

E.g:
CUMULATIVE FUNDING TARGETS - MILESTONES

$ 1M           Development of advertiser transactional advertising blockchain & member wallet
$ 2,2M   Development of marketplace & core market expansion
$ 3,75M   Development of native ad engine & core market expansion (Q3 2018)
$ 6,90M   Launch of native ad engine & core market expansion (Q4 2018)
$ 8,95M   Debit card integration & core market expansion (Q1 2019)
$ 11,6M   Launch debit card (Q2 2019)
Additional funds raised will be used to accelerate customer acquisition through Digital, Television & In-Market Activations.


I think the key element to a successful ICO or Token is the team! If the ICO has no team then the ICO will not operate successful and will not work in the long run.
i also agree on it i always look for a team not a team of two or team of 5
but atleast a team of 15 individual the more is the better

I believe people have wised up in the space, so I don't see this getting any traction, why is the name of the project not displayed. I don't think this project need that much capital looking at the road map

I'm looking at the idea of the project. If it seems interesting and promising to me, then I make a research about it. If everything seems well I invest in. But now there are very few projects with good ideas which can be released into reality...

I'm very carefully studying the project, to which I plan to invest. I'm especially interested in the development team and the road map. And I never believe the reviews, especially if they are positive)

That's a good point.  I see so many hyped ico's that it bothers me that you can't really believe much of what's said.

as developer company has with the real service of the deliverance, investors might depends with the use of customs as moderating news on release as the drawing of the officials as further defining extent on decision to goes with the following on keeping or moves with the different stages of plan with the investment projects with the coins.




If we talk about prospective tokens, then at least a minimum of one year they just need to be kept on a purse, And then you can trade when your wife is several times more than when you hold ico.

These are the things that I consider before buying altcoins or tokens:

1. The Technology. What does it can offer that the other coins/tokens doesn't have? It should be unique with others.

2. The Roadmap. Do they have an achievable roadmap? Something that is realistic on their short term to long term goals.

3. The Developers. Who are the people behind this project? They should be individuals that have good background in their own field of expertise and should be trustworthy.


These are the basic things/knowledge that I'm looking for before I invest in coins or tokens.
