Initial Coin Offering - a scammy distribution model, stay away!

Why do you think so, huh? Tell me know what you think.

thats not true at all. indeed there is lot of scam but there is a lot real ico who looking to fund for their project. so dont just judge like that

If you fine to identify the pretty decent ICO which can be grow longer than with the greater marketplace value in future. You have to buy the token sale of any ICO which gives extra percentage of amount which is worth more 50% or even more. If you do proper research you will be able to find the good ICO.

ICO means initial coin offerings you buy new tokens of in low price it is like crowdfunding early investors can invest their money hoping it to be successful once the ICO closed. The new project/token can get started and the value of it depends on the investors.

You can read it's whitepaper to track its progress.

ICO = Initial Coin Offering, is an investment on Project that has not yet started and it will start as soon as the ICO is closed. The vision will be in accordance with how many Tokens will be sold. Most WhitePapers show the stages and/or phases of the ICO that i.e if they receive this ammount of USD they will do A & B.

If the ICO succeeds and if the vision becomes implemented then there is a good return of investment.

Ico is the good chance to buy coins for low rate .if you join this type of campaign then you will get coin from ICO. In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the project in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies, but usually for Bitcoin.

In an ICO a percentage of the newly issued cryptocurrency is sold to investors in exchange for legal tender or other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.

ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a popular form of calling for investment in cryptocurrency projects. Each coin developer ICO will create an event and in the crypto project it will sell a portion of its tokens to interested investors in return for funding to fund that cryptocurrency project. and future development. Most ICOs accept payment by Bitcoin or Ethereum.

The ICO usually takes place before the project is completed and helps finance the founding team's costs until the project starts. For some larger projects, part of the cost of ICO goes into building a foundation and providing ongoing support to the project. They also worked as an initial distribution model for token cryptocurrency, especially cryptocurrency using proof of stake of the consensus algorithm.

actually ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a new way to get investors or raise funds, if the old way by selling shares, ICO offers their coins which can then be traded in certain exchanges

ICO is one of models to do crowdfunding when participants of a project make investments into the company development and growth NOW in order to receive certain benefits IN FUTURE.

It could be the release of tokens designated to pay for platform services in prospect in the form of cryptocurrency. For example, when a project issues its own "currency" and exchanges it into one of the most popular cryptocurrencies or even the paper money, the ICO project could provide itself with needed funds and keep going to develop and grow.

A definition is hard to come by, but the most precise one around is “An unregulated mean by which capital is raised for a new cryptocurrency venture. It is used by startups to bypass the conventional fund raising process (such as venture capitalists or banks). In an ICO campaign, a percentage of the cryptocurrency is sold to early backers of the currency in exchange for legal tender or another cryptocurrency (usually BitCoin or Ethereum)

In the most simple terms a initial coin offering is in between an initial public offering (IPO) and Crowdfunding.

One of the first uses of the ICO's documentation for the cryptocurrency project was Mastercoin, which was supported by the community on the Bitcoin Forum. Mastercoin is a meta-protocol on top of blockchain. Bitcoin provides additional features that the basic bitcoin class can not do. The ICO will be available in mid-2013. Mastercoin (MSC) has launched over 5000 Bitcoins (BTCs) at a rate of 100 MSC per BTC and sent to "Exodus addresses" during the ICO period.
