Topic: When you chose an ICO (Read 179 times)
For me, the most important thing in choosing an ICO is an interesting idea of the project and the availability of a working version of the product. Very often, the presence of a strong, professional team of developers makes you choose an ICO.
Recently found an excellent article on the forum, it is called "How to invest in ICO more safely"(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.28918031). She helps me with the analysis of projects
It's hard to choose a good ICO, to be able to find it you have to go deeper into what makes you believe in the Project, learn more in the white paper and see how big the community supports the project.
I choose an ICO if it has own blockchain, good concept of coin and the team behind is real if I verified them of linkedin, twitter, and facebook including the advisors. Because the community will definitely like the project if they meet the needs of the investors.
I think if the project has potential for the future and look at the team behind it and read its whitepaper if it is interesting and I believe I will participate with that ico
the first that I see is the whitepaper. because we can know more information about the concept, team, token, etc. after that, we will see the roadmap. because we can see the plan of the project with this and can judge whether the project has a good prospect or not in the future. a good ico must have a professional team and can be reliable.
There are a lot of projects, so you should always follow trends to choose good one and not to miss it. Now Ambit Mining is live, it will be live for the next 2 days, so I would suggest to take a look!
There are a lot of stuff that makes me believe on a project, but one of the things that i most like about them is the transparency and the community that is behind that project, that is special.
when you chose an ICO, what make you decide?
Choosing an ICO really takes time, you have to make a lot of research about the project that you want to participate or invest in. Like reviewing of their whitepaper if they have the project that is having a great potential, and identifying the members behind the team if they are credible members and not fabricated only.
There's a lot of ways on choosing an ICO, actually we have different ways on choosing an ICO just like me I do have a criteria on choosing an ICO in where am i going to invest here are some of the things I'm looking for:
Well this list just came from my own thread which can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.33152916 (You can find a lot of links their including different scam strategies so you will be aware of and other ways to avoid being scam)
- Check the Background of the team (If the team didn't give info about each member of the team such as name previous projects, background, etc. There's a possibility that they will just run away with your money if they didn't give info's about their team.)
- Read their whitepaper and look if it's really worth to invest with, their concept, etc. (This is important to know what the project is all about.)
- Check the Social media accounts, If you find it very interesting presentable. (Join their telegram group in order to be updated.)
- Check the Projects professionalism (How they handle users, control frauds, etc.)
- Follow their Roadmap and other technical details and see if they meet it on time.
- Look for the projects community and see if the community is active.
- Look for special proof and validation.
- Do your own research about the project such as review about the projects or you can also check the projects ANN thread to see comments who's agree/disagree or the communities idea about the project because ANN threads is like an open forum where you can ask, give insights, etc.

Generally seeking best ICO is very challenging now a days as most of them are coming out as scam project and a way to raise the funds around here. I think choosing ICO right from the start is not a good idea. I mean we should always checkout what happened in the private sale. This could be perfect link for success if the private sale comes out as success. This tells us they already have popularity amongst the whale investors and thus project has got some insight. Rest of the stuff includes reading of their whitepaper, roadmaps etc but usually they are just piece of papers so we couldn't really make out conclusion from that.
when you chose an ICO, what make you decide?
Many things to check before deciding on ico investments or participating in ico bounty projects. Among them you should check out the white papers, road maps, website presence, and project benefits. Next can check the development team, to what extent they are experienced in the world of crypto currency. After everything is checked, you can make your best decision. 
When i am choosing ICO i will see working product otherwise atleast beta version . Mos tof the project now a days coming up with MVP also they are clearly mentioning the fund raise for blockchain integration . Even i would see the Team and their marketing strategy . More over ICO partners like COSS or KickICO will be more varified ICO's.

Do you really trust these reviews? I'm pretty new to the ICO world but for me it seems obvious that icobench has many bought opinions!

Yes, I agree with all of your advice, but I would not hesitate to trust the information that is posted on the sites icodrops and icobench. It seems to me that good reviews on these sites can be bought and there are already a lot of topics on the forum where the lack of reliability of these sites was discussed. 2. Team and partners research

It is good to read the whitepaper before deciding what ICO to choose. There are factors to consider too, like who are the team developers, the companies that support them, the distribution of the crowdsale funds and compliance to government regulations. However the success of an ICO depends on the acceptance of the targeted market to reach its softcap.
when you chose an ICO, what make you decide?
When I invest...
I decide to pick an ICO if the platform the thing thatvthey are working on to provide more for people, for people to enchance and get help by a speacific machine on any kind of application that would help the crypto world to evolve.
Now if Iam not investing(just joining bounties) my number 1 option...
1. is to look at the platform.
2. To see if it is near softcap but if not I would go to number 1 and gamble to see the results until it hits softcap.
when you chose an ICO, what make you decide?
Actually I will pick some of the ICO to invest based on the technology but I will invest on it when after seeimg how much support that this project will get and how fast the capis reaching because if it doesn't reach the cap values then we are just wasted our time. 
A lot of different elements for sure. How strong the team is, what is their vision/what they are trying to do, how original is their idea aka are there already competitors on the market, the amount of hype surrounding the project (very important factor, especially if you are a flipper), token economics etc.
when I choose ICO the main thing that I am interested in is the company idea, the idea they offer is a sustainable and real project, I also read and understand their whitepaper, then I pay attention to their Team, whether their team is genuine or fake, then I read the road map them, then I will enter in their telegram group and search for information within the group.
