Wait a min. I am confused. Most coins don't show the team's faces. Not quite sure why, but if you all say they should, is there a real reason not to? Does it ad more assurance if they do?

Number one to watch for is the owners of Coin and its board. If the founder and members has no photo to show off something is fishy..

Next, the goal of coin.. Look for its business model.

I don’t invest on ICO’s at all, the Money goes to devs to make more Money and we are holding a bag of coin we don’t know for sure how much it will cost, if more than ICO price we bought or less, its too risky for me to even consider investing small amount to be honest.

Yes, this is the problem with ICO’s there is no way to determine if an ICO is going to be successful at all just looking at the project, most of the time what determines if a coin is going to be successful or not is the continued development job done by the devs of the coin.

What are the things one should look for?

should you find is, an information about the ICO is it really going to be successful or not
ico is doubtful if successful usually there is someone who commented negatively about the ico,,,

There are a lot to look for like,who are the people behind the project do they have past successful project in the past,does the ico had an escrow and the most important of all,are the projects for real and the roadmap reachable within the time frame due all diligence it's your money that is going to waste if you got scam.

I look for team members involved, clear project scope and roadmaps and my gut. And lastly the old adage " if it is too good to be true, it probably is"

You should look at the management team of the ICO. Are there any known scammers on the project? Are the team members respectable in our community? What kinds of tech skills does the team have? These are just somethings to look at.

Well you need to bear in mind that ICO is a dangerous investment, you need to prepare for the consequences, to invest in ICO you need to do research in the feature that the coin provide then you need to do some research in the developer team and see the enthusiasm from other investor, then go to their official website and see how they convince other to invest in their coin

At the ICO stage you generally cannot tell much if anything about how the development is going from their github or other code repository (assuming open source) so IMO its a bit more like gambling than investing at the ICO stage.

The dev team is the most important thing about the ICO, not the actual coin. The coin code can be changed, the dev team typically wont be.

This is important, most coins are similar to each other and there is no way to distinguish whether a coin is going to be successful or not but after some time and the continued development by the developers you will have an idea if the coin has a future or not.

I think before you start investing your money in to ICO, you need to look at team which create this, do they have enough of investments and some typical things like there site, what are the reason why do they create this, and what they are expecting after all of the process. Also you can look at coinmarket and check there volume, or better to spend your money at something familiar, Ethereum or Monero Dash

seems not only that, to see ico good and reassuring to invest in ico seems you need to see the profile roadmap and the team listed on LinkedIn or not, if the team meraka all listed in LinkedIn means they convince to invest in it, maybe the way I like it was to convince the ICO, that it is really serious in carrying out their projects.

Mostly look for something that is truly new and not a copy of a previous successful ICO.

For instance, LISK was a good investment, but after that RISE and DL(i)SK were terrible investments. They basically copy the code and ask for money to run it? Why would one need that if all development can be copied from the first coin?

If it is purely to make a quick buck, look for the ones that are hyped up and don't release on an exchange for several weeks/months after closing. This will cause FOMO from people that missed the ICO and usually a nice price bump in the first days of trading.

Very good thread in my opinion. Very important thing to me is checking background of the dev team any past succes or involvment in other projects.

Road map is one of the best thing that you should prioritize when investing on ICO's. If you think that it is something that will give you good profit, it's up to you if you will benefit out of it, maybe for short term or even for longer term. Also look upon who are the people behind it, you may not know that you are just donating your bitcoins there lately when you didn't do your part.

Roadmap isn't. I give you an example such as the chrono bank ICO. It looks like too silly to see the price is never above the ico price. The key to investing on the ICO coin is if you know about the first exchange site for that coin. Because in my experience all of the ICO will be dumped on the early stage of the coin.

Another key is on the team, with the experienced team and we are knowing if that was a real person and not an anonymous dev. That will give more guarantee for the investors.

The third point is on his ICO system (fixed rate is not preferable)

It's one, base on my observation. As long as the ICO will go success there are exchanges that are willing to list that coin. Knowing people behind it or the team is another factor, as long as they made a good one before for sure many are going to speculate that ICO will be another successful thing for all of them including the investors.

I highly recommended to make sure the team, the people behind it are legit, also make sure they're not well known scammer or having many coins.

It is ok if they have more then one coin as long as they can handle it and the other coins are doing well too.
It doesn't help though if they not committed to the coin. An active Dev is what I look for in any ICO. Professionalism is key.
