Yes, sure, if the project looks legitimate and promising I would participate or even invest in the project, even if it is not listed in ICO rating websites. In fact, most of these websites are paid from the devs and their ranking isn't really trustworthy. I use to do my own research about the project before taking the decision of participating or investing.

Agree, web sites evaluate or rank, they are the only people who receive money to do advertising, their honesty is relatively low, even a lot of people reflect on how accurate they are for projects, so if some of the projects aren't listed here, it might be a bad project but it could still be a project that doesn't spend money on advertising. And with the authenticity and research on this issue, we will know where is the project with potential, even if it is not listed, investing in it is still good, trust on one side will be wrong

Usually, those rating websites do not ask you any money to list your project on their site, but some of them will ask you money if you want to be rated as a good ICO on their website. Just like what happened with ICOBench so many times before. On the other hand, if any ICOs do not get listed on those rating websites.
it explains the project lacks popularity and the probability for the ICO to fail is high. Then it is not a good thing participating in this kind of project, because it is worse than choosing any ICO that is listed and get rated high on those exchanges.

i prioritize participating in projects that I think are potential and trusted. in my opinion project listing site is actually not neutral, not completely honest in making articles, even seen selling spot page,and sell rating,so it cannot be used as a benchmark,
great projects don't require excessive promotion. but their coin sale quickly sold out.

Recently, I have looked little at rating sites regarding the assessment of the prospects of ICO projects there. I choose the ICO at my discretion. First of all, I’m already looking at what the ICO team will do and whether there is a real product. I look more at practical projects, even if they do not promise high profits from their tokens and have a small pool. In ICO bounty campaigns, I now regard the promise of high earnings as a sign of fraud. In the current state of the altcoin market, big earnings are now impossible.

In my experience, ICO rating does not affect anything even if a project gets a good rate there. Because they only judge in terms of time, I mean, the assessment is done only at that time and not for the future. Many ICOs that I followed through the advice of the ICO rating but the fact that when the coin was launched and entered the exchange, it did not give me an advantage for the purchase of their coins at ICO. In fact, if I Hold the coin, a big loss instead. I'm done with ICOs.
Ico reviews coming from such sites are not liable anymore, most of the time they are just getting paid to promote a project which we cant guarantee to be legit. Its actually better to make a research by yourself and use the site only if we need some basement when choosing a project. But I cant consider to follow everything what they said.
Yeah, That's right. Sometimes we are too consumed with hype, so we ignore the research we have gone through for a project. Personally, I no longer want to do research to see which ICO is good or not, because I have enough with ICO. I only buy top 10 coins according to Coinmarketcap. It the best I can do to keep my money safe.
It is a wise decision to go for developed coins or those crypto which is already circulating in the market than investing in ICO's. In ICO's there's no guarantee that your money will make a profit since most of the projects are scam. If you invest it in a popular crypto such as ETH or so on, you have the better chance to make a profit out of your investments.
Yes, I think it should be like that. Because what we use in investment is personal money that might one day be used for urgent needs. Like the cost of living, children, electricity, hospitality, or others. So it's better to put it in the right place rather than put it in a place that we don't know yet. Putting money in ICO is like turning the palm of the hand. The ratio is 50:50 between loss and profit.

I think that there is no need to trust anyone and sites. Only yourself and verified information. It is better to study the project, documents and technical side well than to trust the rating from the site. I'm sure these ratings are easy to buy.

While investing in any IEO or ICO, you are actually trusting the team members. You expect them to honor the promises and the commitments they made, and you hope that they will finish the various stages of development work within the timelines that they have specified. If you don't trust these people, then you won't be investing in these projects.

Now it is not very easy to study the hundreds of ICO projects out there and select two or three for investment. Because doing research on them takes a lot of time and effort. And that is where the ICO review sites comes handy. They do the research for you and hand pick a few of the good projects for you. But you need to do some of your own research, before finalizing on a particular project.

I dont think relying on ICO rating site is a big plus point for a projwct. Remember this rating sites have payment in order to showcase the projects. Yes it does help reach people but the problem here is the project might just a gang up project or paid ads alone. If you really like a project you should investigate well this one. To answer the OP, yes I did invest or follow some ICOs not in rating site. My comfort zone on finding new project is the forum. I trust experts here more than ico rating sites.

Nowadays there are many projects, it is not easy to judge on new project, good or not, some people think the ico rating websites may help to take your decision, others think this ICO rating websites provide fake rating due to new project can pay fees to this ICO websites and get high rating.
SO, If you find good project, is it important to you this new good project should be listed in ICO rating websites?

Appreciate your participation



Ico rating websites are not a good bases of finding a good ICOs. The websites are only paying websites which they advertise ICOs. It is now risky to make investment in ICOs due to the scammers so we should be careful in making investment.

if the project is worth to invest why not,, those ico review website are paid by those dev team to promote their project and gain more investors. not knowing mostly project that are listed on ico review website are scam or fraud or  after their ico no intention to  continue their project.. now the new trend is the IEO much better than ico Grin
I think this is right as any projects developing team can lure to pay these ico rating websites to promote their projects and attract as much investors as they could and when they gain much from these investors, they decide not to continue with the project again. The introduction of these IEO's will surely help and only with regulation will investors turn back to ico's.

Coins and tokens that are listed on ICO rating websites are mostly scam or shit projects as well but those projects that aren't listed on ICO Rating websites are far worse, they aren't going to get anywhere close to success ever, ICO rating websites do have their share of creating awareness for new projects

you have a wrong judgment. ICO rating website are no longer trusted in the community
They do reviews and ratings with some amount of money, the bigger you give the better you receive. we are not in 2017 anymore which they need to review ICO just to get more audience. Now they have the viewers and they reach their goal, they are into money now.

Well, i don't want to participate in any ICO anymore, i might consider investing to a project if they will use IEO on a good exchange like Binance.

I think everyone has their own way before deciding to participate in a project. For me personally, I will look more at the product and the team behind it, the activeness of the team to respond to every question and update about the project they bring to me is more value that makes me start interested and will be more observing about the project. And for ICO rating is not a consideration for me because sometimes they make fake ratings to attract investors as you say.

ICO rating websites are no longer doing what they started of initially but are currently doing what suits them to earn more. These ico rating websites are currently seen as a big promoter of scam projects by rating these scam projects with high rating values which aren't true and eventually these projects are failing out there day by day. personally yes, I will participate in a new project if it is not listed on these rating websites due to their fraud nature off late.

I don't really care about project not being listed in ICO rating websites. I had situation when project gets the highest mark on ICO rating websites but eventually they turned out to be a totally failure or scam. Rating there are not always true, unfortunately, and it's a well-known fact.

The ICO review sites are no longer neutral. There have been reports of them giving out fake reviews in return for a monetary compensation. So I wouldn't give much importance for reviews being dished out by these sites. Even if they are neutral, their reviews have failed many times in the past. Keeping that in mind, I would argue that it is not mandatory for a good project to have reviews given out by sites such as Icobench and Icohotlist. Some of the good projects may get ignored by these review sites and still give good returns upon listing.

That said, the investors should always keep in mind the fact that a good idea may not necessarily mean good returns. The most important part is the conversion of this "idea" in to a full-fledged product. And it is at this stage that most of the ICOs falter. So I would say that in case a project is having a good idea, and the development work is somewhat complete, then you can go ahead and invest in it even though independent third party reviews are not available. But always keep in mind that investing in any ICO comes with a certain amount of risk.
