There is no difference between them. In 2018, many ICOS are also a fraud, but we will be able to understand this only after some time.

This is a good thread.
For ICO 2018, investors are smarter (atleast that's what I hope). A lot of ICO's now have to prove that their project is worth to invest into, before we only see promises and shady teams. Things are more transparent now.

I think there are serious differences between the two years. In particular, there are many differences between the objectives of the project and the objectives of the ICO projects. Last year ICO projects did not occur so often, and therefore there were consistently high quality projects in this market, but in time, there was a serious flow of money in the market and all these projects started to be used for the purpose. For example, last year, very few projects were being created, and almost every project was investing in the technology it promised. Unfortunately, today's projects are not being created for technology; For this reason, the money circulating within the market is decreasing and investors do not want to invest too much in ICO projects. I think that the projects that are going on with the aim of fraud and collecting only money will go much worse.

The difference I believe is known to all
In 2017, projects are developed with purpose and vision
In 2018, several projects just aiming to make Etherum and abadoning the project thereby running away with money
In 2017, projects are true real and eventful
In 2018, projects lack team or good websites and they always end up as fraud
I joined some ICOs at the end of 2017, and then their tokens increased up to 4x to 6x after listed on exchanges. But in this year, too many scam ICOs, and clearly is market is not really running good, and ICO becoming an obsession for me.
In 2018, the ICO grows bigly. We can find out so many ICOs every day with the different concept. In 2017, the concept of the ICOs are still about the mining, exchange, and other. But now, it is about the education, banks, finance, travel, social, and many others. But, the ICOs in this year is actually facing a very bear and bad market after on exchanges.
Yes when compared to last year the market is very bad now also there are lot of scammers this time, everyday we check for a good ICO if it is good they have genuine benefits.

The main difference between these two are in ICO 2017 most ICO were legit and a lot of investors were in every ICO investing and making a huge profit afterwards of it. In ICO 2018, almost all of the ICOs were mainly scam and investors were afraid to invest anymore thats why raising a fund in ICO 2018 were really hard to achieve.
ICO in 2017 was really good, there are 90 percent or more legit projects even their airdrops have value.
ICO of 2018 is not that good, more than 50% of projects are scam. Airdrops are not good.
most of them has no value, if they have it, its only a few dollars or less.
I am missing the 2017 ICO.

The difference is that in 2017 there was an uptrend and in 2018 a downtrend and this affected the demand for investment in ICO but it is not for long once the market unfolds ICO will become even more popular. But at the moment there are very high quality projects in which you can invest even in the bear market and make a profit ! My opinion is !
oh my god 
that's my weak point. sometimes ago i can buy a lambo with beautiful ico's. now i am wait for new ico age 
that's my weak point. sometimes ago i can buy a lambo with beautiful ico's. now i am wait for new ico age 
The quality of projects stayed +/- on the same level but projects reduced their hardcap from 20-150 milions to 5-30 because people rather invest in projects with small hardcap.

I dont think like you. During bear market surely icos will lose their value.. They will come back.
No need to worry about that.

in my view so far, compared to ICOs that have died or failed, ICOs who have high success are those who are able to develop unique products and have better benefits and of course have a good marketing strategy. Fast forward to 2018, and most of these ICO’s are dead, dying, or a scam.

You have stated the obvious difference. In 2017 ico are sold out quickly, in 2018 scam ico are many legit ones couldn't raise their softcap even if it has a unique idea. Fast forward to 2018, and most of these ICO’s are dead, dying, or a scam.

Some clear and striking differences have been crept in into the ico game from last year and 2018. In the aspect of fundraising for instance, projects are collapsing even from inceptions. Crap and scams also have taken over also, which it's not rampant in 2017
As for me in 2018 we have a lack of fresh ideas of blockchain applying, a lot of exchanges and wallets but nothing new. Hope that ICO with good ideas behiind just wait for better market conditions to start.
Nothing is different with the ICOs themselves, well apart from having lower softcaps and less chance of success. The market is the thing that has changed drastically, there is vastly less money being given to ICOs lately, and because of this quite a few ICOs are failing to reach their goals.
ICO of 2017 were more honest. The nastoiyashchy ideas and proyeta which sought to solve these or those problems, to move away intermediaries and so on arose. In 2018 the swindler was understood that it is possible to earn from carrying out ICO and began to forge already successful projects.
I think there's no difference but just the return of investment is lower due to the current bear market. Scam ICO's were rampant on 2017 and still is on 2018 and I think they will continue with their schemes as long as they can.
This year ICOs have more realistic soft and hard caps, it will be much longer until they collect the amount needed for the soft cap and in my opinion, this year there will be more scamming attempts if we compare it to 2017.
While a good number of ICOs in 2017 must have failed, I think that ICOs in 2017 was still better than the ones that we have now, and come next year, a higher percentage of failure would be recorded for this year's ICOS. People do not even care about the credibility of ICOs anymore. They are about making some money for themselves now. Greedy lots.
Ok I first:
2017: almost SCAM
Opposite to mine because based on my experiences 2017 has better ICO's and I actually find one that pays off my time and effort through bounty program. As the market crashes way back the end of the year 2017, it continues to fall until today so I think that is why we can see a lot of ICO's in 2017 compared to 2018 as team won't launched the projects as long as the market isn't stable because they knew what consequences they got if they launch it now. 2017: almost SCAM

I cant really see a difference between the two. Scam are already present in the 2017 and I think that was the year scam really started to show in mass. 2018 scam and failures are just continuation of the previous years events.
In 2017, huge sums were collected by all without exception. Even fraudulent projects. In 2018, investors have become smarter and prudent, so not every project can get money.
ICOs of 2017 and 2o18 are the same in structure. What we should be looking at is how they fared in these years In 2017 Promoters gained from ICOs than 2018 because investors did not know some of them were scams. 2018 witnessed a proliferation of ICOs which failed because of the ripple effect of last year's fraud. Investors are scared.
... there is a huge volume of failed ICO's and scams. Its coming out of nowhere and people are investing on it. The successful ICO's are less than 50%.No wonder why a lot of investors has given up and more people are selling resulting to the current market situation.
What's makes a successful ICO?
In 2017 it did not matter what ICO to invest and get profit, now you must search scrupulously, make photo with dildo in the ass to be whitelisted and then get x/2 after ecxhange reached.
I joined ICO's last year and made money out of it. For year 2018, it is not that profitable for me because I lost my capital due to personal needs. I am working for bounties and from what I notice, there is a huge volume of failed ICO's and scams. Its coming out of nowhere and people are investing on it. The successful ICO's are less than 50%.No wonder why a lot of investors has given up and more people are selling resulting to the current market situation.
as soon as the price of ETH and bitcoin stabilizes, so immediately there will be a lot of ICO . in 2017, there was a large increase in crypto and people believed and invested .. in 2018 we see a decline in the market, a time of vague and all in anticipation and a prolonged hold
I'm smiling reading your post because I remember old times when an ICO went to the market and marked a x1,5 minimum... saudades!

I think the ico in 2017 was more unprepared and there were more scams. It always happens when something new appears. Now-the number of ico has decreased and fraudsters have become much less.
The only different between ICO 2017 and ICO 2018 is the year different. One come up in 2017 while the other is 2018. The real fact is that ICO will remain ICO.
In the year 2017 and then, it's still very easy to select the ICO are legit. even a great many projects are legit. But this year 2018, ICO more and more rare, but the more legit. Even the result also was not as much as ICO 2017.
I think investors' money has held many in the 2017 ICO, they are guarding their assets because prices are not satisfactory or because they deliberately hold altcoin because they hope that ICO prices will soar, I think many investors are losing money in 2017 and in 2018 many ICO Frauds and investors lose more money and become less interested in the ICO, I think that by 2018 the ICO has a lot of problems, there are too many problems that I feel that the ICO in 2018 was in vain.
ICOs in 2017 were short, filled up immediately, listed on exchange immediately, people gaining x2 profit within 3 months of ICO purchase and x10 for some after a wait of 6 months.
In 2018, Most of ICOs are held a year long still difficult to get to the hardcap. Might never get listed on an exchange if did, dumped to the ground.

there were some that got listed already and some listed on DEX. one that i noted so much because kits a utility token and you as investor can set up mininodes with so little you got which is the UMT of bubbletone. Its already listed on Hitbtc and some exchanges too. Cool project, there might will be more to happen with this project sooner.
Some ICO this 2018 weren't listed on exchange yet and some were postponed too.

There was a lot of profitable ICOs last 2017, specially for those who wanted to have a quick turnaround. These were mostly private investors who got in cheaper before the public. But now in 2018, there are still some projects that barely get sold out and even a lot of postponed ICOs.
Every year has its own peculiar problems and this can be seen clearly in the crypto industry in the years 2017 and 2018 when it comes to ICO projects that took place.In 2017 ,the bull market made so many projects collected so much eth even though some were scams and could not give investors value so most of the investors became disappointed so the results of that disappointment is reflecting in 2018 ICO projects where most people do not want to invest again.
there is no difference and the average ico still has the potential to be a scam. only for this year investors for ICO continue to decrease and many projects fail because they do not reach the soft cap or only achieve a soft cap.
The difference is mainly that people have realized that most ICOs are either scams or are simply filled with incompetent teams. On top of that, when an ICO is finished and tokens are launched on exchanges, then most of the time, tokens are much cheaper than the ICO price. So, many people who are interested in the project don't invest in the ICO, but rather buy it later from exchanges. And lastly, ICOs dump a lot of ETH for development or "other" purposes and so it affects prices of cryptos in general. That's also a major reason that people are avoiding ICOs. But yes, that does not mean you shouldn't invest in ICOs. If there are good projects with strong team, well laid plans etc. then you should definitely support those ICOs.

The difference between ICO 2017 and 2018 are many but I will just mention this. In 2017, the ICOs find it easy to raise fund during ICO because a lot of people are willing to buy ICOs but in 2018, ICOs find it difficult to raise soft cap for their project. Whereas in 2017 getting hardcap seems so easy. Another difference is that in 2017, scam ICOs are not too rampant but in 2018 scam ICO is the order of the day.
