The first thing I look at is the general idea of the project and if they have an MVP (alpha, beta) and if the project really needs the blockchain.
Then the team, advisers, experience, previous projects.
The whitepaper should be complete and with good information about the project.

I love to see the ratings along with good advices from my mates, plus always a good community support inside the ICO porject is important!
June 02, 2018, 03:33:53 AM
Since I try to select an ICO whose token would be very promising for price growth in the future, for me the direction of the project's activities is very important, and therefore the scope of the issued token. That's why I pay attention first of all. Also, I look, of course, on the parameters relating to the size of payments and the decent value of the token itself. This is the number of tokens assigned to the campaign, and their estimated price on the exchange, and even the number of signatories joining the ICO signature campaign.

As of now, many ICO is launched everyday. And as we investors, we dont want to be scammed by any ICO, so we want to make sure that the ICO that we plan to invest is a legit and has a promising features. May I ask which factor is the most important in evaluating an ICO.
A big factor in the better ICOs is now e can't see which can make it different from another low quality ICOs , because the most of the ICOs are giving full options to show ICO as a guinine platform and having better better better concept behind the base of the coin .But in actual in my opinion all are the formalities that we can see in every ICOs project .
In my opinion the perfect ICO is that which is spending much amount of money in the advertisement and as we know that if they get better investment then surely will make Thier ICO as a better investment platform to make better earnings , otherwise all are equally like .
June 01, 2018, 09:50:07 PM
I think that the factor you should consider is the ICO team and the members. Other factor is you shoud check it's platform and the blockchain technology it can offer to the public. If you are a bounty hunter, you need to check the bounty manager of such ICO and check on the spreadsheet for the bounty participants if there are many higher ranking members joining.

For me,it is the team.I check for the expertise and the integrity of the team members and advisers.If they have a fraudulent past or organize a ponzi scheme that scammed people in the past,then the project is scamy.Also,I check if the team has what it takes to carry out what they wrote in the whitepaper.
June 01, 2018, 06:55:53 PM
The team profile and background is the most important factor to consider, since most successful ICO is due to the competence of the team. My next is to analyze the whitepapa and prototype of what the money will be use for
June 01, 2018, 06:50:01 PM
I thinkt hat one of the things that i am most looking before investing is the level of creativity that the team has (it is more than important) and also, the amount of money that they have already raised till then.
June 01, 2018, 06:43:28 PM
The team: who are they? What have they accomplished? Etc. Then how strong and active is the community? Are they just tweeting once in a blue moon? Then, the project. What's the significance of the project? What's it going to solve.
June 01, 2018, 06:22:41 PM
their team members, if the team members from the project showing up the real face and social media link wich mean linkedin , twitter etc
i believe they will not scam us, then i will read the whitepaper carefully my friend
You mean a real product that developed by a real person that at least should be known widely right? Other than that you might have to go for a 50/50 between legit or not. That's true , I would feel so secure investing the money on that kind ico. It's really matter who run the business , what kind future prospect and how the roadmap makes sense for everyone. i believe they will not scam us, then i will read the whitepaper carefully my friend
June 01, 2018, 06:17:19 PM
At first, you have to see their community, is their community will act with a significant amount, and if their ico rating and profile will good, if they have expert ratings from icobench, if their admin will busy with a regular update then I think that project will hit. But all the time, you will not make the right decision because some scammers are really very smart and talented, like a hashcard project's owner. So, you have to look at them carefully. Good luck.

For me, the main factor is the project idea, the presence of the MVP, and of course the team. There must be professionalsthis is important because in this website, people who expert in crypto will give a review about ICO project and giving the opinion about the project, that's a good way to choose a best ICO's

As on what ive experien on the past , ive joined a lot of bounty ico campaigns with a good solid team and as i notice almost all ico that i came across has always compose of a professional memebers , i guess that is really required in order to attract a lot of investors.
So my point is i dont think a good ico can only be indentified by their team members but rather a good ico for me is depends on thier purpose or usefullness of thier projects.
But even though you consider to check and look for all these characteristics and traits, there is stilll a chance that an ico could lead to failure or become unsucesful due to some reasons.

Either that or the background of the development team, their experience, if they can be trusted and so on.

Before perticipating in any ICO I often deeple research the project. My advice is to pay attention whether the projects has a ready-made product as it is some kind of guarentee that it is not a scam as well as long termed activity before ICO. Strong team and good community also is a good point to look at.

For me the fist thing i saw is the teams and their linked in.
If the ceo has experienced in cryptocurrency world for me is a plus point of the ICO, because behind any good project, there must be a good people who managed it.
May 31, 2018, 01:47:15 PM
I believe responsibility and clarity in delivery goals are the most essential factors for an ICO, generating security and motivation in investors for an increase of participation or even invite sympathizers for it. However, other factors may be relevant in certain projects, such as: community, marketing development, project need for humanity and so on.
May 31, 2018, 09:09:31 AM
It can sound silly, but I choose many ICOs basing my decision on a vibes that it has, lol. Simply the overall atmosphere in a community etc.

There are bunch of factors that is germane in evaluating ICOs which some of them are to check the CEO background , project own capital that's to know if the ICO have fund to execute their roadmap , business track record is important to know about there experience and for how long they've been existing before ICO and the whole team and their background lastly if they're just developing a product or have a working product. All the factors listed above is consequential when evaluating ICOs 
May 31, 2018, 06:17:56 AM
Transparency of the team all of them to make sure that they would not run away. Make sure that the roadmap is being followed. Ask and make a lot of question regarding on the ICO and its team.
May 31, 2018, 06:17:47 AM
For me personally developing team is the most important factor. Cause if developers are honest and responsible the won't let their investors to lose their money even if their project won't work. And if the team is experienced enough the more chances their project will be successful.
May 31, 2018, 06:17:05 AM
There are many different factors. Although sometimes ordinary logic stops working. Even despite the red flags, and the danger of losing all some lucky people have time to earn very impressive sums. But in fact, I think the development team and the idea behind the project.
May 31, 2018, 06:08:34 AM
In the process of choosing ICO, for the first impression I look at the product, the idea that they want to pay. then of course it's his Team and Advisors. as well as on the results of pre-sales if it was already

Well as an investor the most important factor for me is the credibility, legitimacy of identity and experience of each team member. I believe that no matter what the project is if the team member has a experience or all are professionals there's no doubt that the project will succeed.
Not only that I think it's the most important because let's say that the project ended up as a failure and you didn't get a refund and the members faded like a bubble, then you can go to cybercrime groups to report and give the names and pictures to them right?
Second thing is the Concept or the project itself well even though the team is composed of professionals but the concept or the project is lame even though the development is successful but the number of users are low then the project for me is a failure since only few users are only using the platform or their services.
This is all just according to my own perspective and opinion.

Several of the criteria:
1)The product is its applicability in our realities and existing analogues.
2)Сompetitiveness
3)A team with experience in this field.
4)Check social activity, community loyalty.
5)Next, I check the interest in the project, any analysis of sites to visit.

It is about the total supply, any working product for the project, the team behind it and the roadmap.. There is a great upcoming platform being built for making the right trading and investment decision, Ftec. This will be very helpful to check the potential of any crypto project:

I am more concerned about the prospect of this project, because I am a long-term investor,So a project can only get a good return if it has a good prospect, so I am more concerned about that.
May 31, 2018, 05:48:27 AM
When evaluating ICO, I primarily pay attention to the developers ' computer. A team of professionals is a guarantee of the success of any project. I also look at the quality of the design of the project site, the website must also be professional.
May 31, 2018, 05:23:48 AM
For me, the most important thing is the strength of the team.
The second point is the liquidity of the project, which is also important.

There many ways to find out what is worth to invest in, most common thing is to see how unique project is, and how much team is active in replying to your questions if you have satisfied with that. Then check some reviews and ratings for that ICO. Then you are good to go.
May 31, 2018, 05:21:34 AM
There are many factors that you can evaluate an ICO based on like read up about the news regarding that ICO and if there are any negative reviews about the ICO, do a background search on the dev team and if they are competent enough to develop for the project and look at the community size and if its active or not.
May 31, 2018, 05:14:50 AM
most important factor for me is the team behind the project and the project thy will do .

You have to look into the features of the project itself. If the feature is far too ideal that what the reality could offer then the project might be a scam. Well this is not applicable for all investors since most of the projects out there are too technical to be understood by its investors. Take a look at their whitepaper, if the road map and the goals of the project is not practical or is not achievable based from the time frame that it could be a bad sign, even allocating so much time for a single task could also be a bad sign. Cross reference all the information in their website and in their whitepaper; the team's profile, the company, it's partners, any supports about their promises and such.
May 31, 2018, 04:55:24 AM
To me i personally look at the first the management crew, the white paper and the project the company is going into, these are the yardstick or parameters i use to assess an ICO before investing in them.
May 29, 2018, 12:52:05 PM
- Idea and scale of the project (usually $ 2 - 30 million to mobilize). whitepaper, Development team, advisor, consultant
- total supply
- User community (telegram): Very important in evaluating and validating the legitimacy of the ICO.

May 29, 2018, 11:50:49 AM
For me that is the factor:
- Ideas and feasibility
- devs team
- roadmap and whitepaper
- the partner of the project
Among them, the most important are ideas and devs team

Scam in ICOs is inevitable when you fail to plan and carryout your research on the proposed ICO(s). The key factors you need to look into are:
1. Provision of useful information in their whitepaper
2. Provision of adequate information on their team profile
3. Making sure that there team is not anonymous
4. You may also need to look into their website for useful information on their products.
May 29, 2018, 11:38:46 AM
I think group is a standout amongst the most critical components. In the event that they have enormous experience and information, at that point it's substantially more conceivable that they can actualize every one of their plans and thoughts.
May 29, 2018, 11:36:18 AM
website, price ico, pre sale, team, whitepaper. and understand the roadmap after that we wait how the ico movement is in sales problem if fast to go to sofhcap or hardcap I think the project is good and very suitable to invest in it.
May 29, 2018, 11:30:57 AM
Business model is the most important factor to me. However, other factors such as team, marketing strategy, roadmap and etc are important too. You have to look out various factors before investing.
May 29, 2018, 11:16:53 AM
There are so many things that you have to do before investing in an ICO first of all do your own research especially about the team behind the project whether they are real or not, usually a successful ICO has a great team behind that. Second, learn their whitepaper this is very important, how does the project can make your rich, I think another factor is popularity, the more popular ICO the more chance for the project to be successful.
May 29, 2018, 08:43:00 AM
I do consider a reliable bounty manager, good team members, good project as per whitepaper and I also check the spreadsheet if the members joining had plenty of high ranking members with many participants. With these considerations, I feel secured that what I am joining is a potential ICO that will give good token reward after the campaign.
May 29, 2018, 08:29:03 AM
there are many considerations and research before you decide to participate in an ico. to be honest you can discuss with the local community to do the research together and find a promising ico.
May 29, 2018, 08:26:50 AM
If I have to choose only 1 factor then that would be the product itself. The second most important is the team.
May 29, 2018, 08:23:31 AM
For me is the industry, blockchain is not good for everything and I think that chains and new developments in chains are now the best sector to invest because it holds more potential for gains.
May 29, 2018, 08:22:08 AM
Most chief is you distinguish the ICO you are resource. But whether you stilbesterol facto don't deprivation to dispose scammed so don't invest into ICO's at all.
May 29, 2018, 08:19:32 AM
For me, the most important factor in assessing the ICO projects is the price of tokens on the market. The market checks itself the project and if it is a scam, then the price will show everything at once.
May 29, 2018, 07:55:57 AM
I appreciate the team, their previous experience. For example social networks such as Linkedin and others. The idea of the project and white paper.
May 29, 2018, 07:49:28 AM
how much money can that bet give me.
that is all everyone cares about anyways, the money. so you should see which one can give you the highest reward or in other words which one has the biggest potential of getting pumped more.
additionally this is a gamble anyways so you should know the risks and prepare for the unpredictable results of your bet. this is not an investment when it comes to ICOs.

actually it's easy, see if their whitepaper are complex or very simple and see also track record of team members, whether everything is transparent or not. May 29, 2018, 07:24:26 AM
I think team is one of the most important factors. If they have big experience and knowledge, then it's much more possible that they can implement all their plans and ideas.
May 29, 2018, 07:23:53 AM
To me there is no single important thing. All separate things add up to my decision. In most cases I decided not to invest. Based on emotions, I think I like the idea of ending up with a tangible product best, but those ICO's/project are not always the best in terms of ROI. Token metrics give away a lot of information in how much a team is trying to keep for themselves and whether they actually need that money to begin with....in many cases moneygrabs are quite easy to spot.

Majorly the factors I consider before joining any ICO are the team, to do background check up , the idea behind the project if it's genuine and unique so also if it has a working product or developing one May 29, 2018, 05:35:12 AM
better to not invest in icos at all just stick with proven projects and btc
May 29, 2018, 05:32:21 AM
Most important is you know the ICO you are investing.
But if you really don't want to get scammed then don't invest into ICO's at all.

May 29, 2018, 05:16:30 AM
in evaluating an ico look at the product from the ico look at the team and community then white paper and vision mission of the ico (don't be interested because just look at the bonuses offered)
May 29, 2018, 05:11:31 AM
First of all you have to evaluate team backgroung, then product relevance, how much have been raised so far, activity in social networks, ratings on the listings, and other side-factors.
