Title: Is ICO WhitePaper Matter Most?
Post by: john1010 on May 11, 2018, 12:59:47 PM
Who among us here have been victims of almost perfect Whitepaper?
Those sublimely well-written, full of excellent ideas and proposals that turned out to be a piece of crap!
Reading whitepaper is not enough to be a basis of investing in crypto because almost everyone can write whatever they want,
they even promise you the Moon and Stars.

So, be careful now in choosing ICOs, as much as possible look for projects that at least have initially implemented the products or services, if not the whole.

I agree to that. A lot of ICOs have very well-articulated whitepaper and yet failed to deliver during their main sale. But to be always on the safe side, make sure that you do research first. Not just the whitepaper but also the team behind the project, their MVP, hear other people's opinion about them in the community, check out their ICO ratings. I have a personal favorite which is VLUX. You can learn more about them here https://vlux.io/

I think there's a proper forum to post this one.

I participated in LEDU ICO, and so far they are following the WhitePaper ideas, so Im satisfied. But I get your point, there are a lot of people with bad experiences.

Its so hard to answer this question but I would say yes with exceptions... In my mind a whitepaper only matters if all the other boxes that its a decent project and not a scam are present... Whitepapers in my mind determine the value of a project, not whether its a scam or not.

Well, the quantity of ICO riced from 4 per year to 900+per half of the year.
Only one thing which could help them to show up it is their WP. So all of them trying to make it as clear and gold as possible. Pity, but at the end like in each project, the wish of delivering the product higher, and doesn't matter if it would be as great as suppose to.
So all the responsibility is on the investor's shoulders. You always choose.

White paper is their testament about the project with their plans and road maps. Most investors will look into it to visualize how good it their plan about the project. It seems common on the new ICO to make a solid whitepaper to attract more investors but in reality they are just after on the investors money and make scam exit after the ICO.
Whitepaper is not only a basis on a good project... you should also look to the team behind and the impact of the project to their costumers or community and their execution on the roadmaps.

For most projects, the whitepaper is just an idea projected into the future. Only rarely is there a prototype or actual existing product.  When I read whitepaper I try to think about how realistic the plan is and what kinds of assumptions about the market and competition are being made. For example, I've read whitepapers for projects with great ideas but the feasibility depends on huge user adoption. How is the project going to get the users it needs in order to have a working product? Sometimes the whitepaper will discuss the marketing campaign that is planned, sometimes it doesn't mention anything about this issue at all. In other cases, I've read strong whitepapers but when you take a step back you see that the market niche the project is aiming for is already quite saturated one is forced to ask why people would stop using existing services that meet their needs to try something new and unproven? The question of how some of these companies will break into the markets they plan to "disrupt" remains too often unclear. In general, I think it's smart to read whitepapers with an to how practically feasible an idea is. Is the assumption of user adoption realistic? Is there an existing market for the services being offered? What is the competitive advantage over existing services? Etc.

A bad wp certainly will attract attention and may discourage investors out of principle not to consider any support to said ico issuer.
Whitepaper is like cv if u don't have a well written pleasant and smart cv no one will take you for the job … but there are exceptions :-)

Yes. Whitepaper is very essential for an ICO. But, we must consider other things such as their team and developer including the advisors, their toke supply, and wallet transaction. Analyze the project carefully is a must to minimize the scam.

Of course, this is important. If you know well the blockchain of the technology chain and are going to invest in the project, then you are studying white paper. But, frankly, I never read it, because I do not understand anything. ;D

Oh man, look at that horse behind, so all those amazing futuristic sites are a part of that behind I guess.  Excellent explanation and visual representation.  I think I could write a pretty good whitepaper, especially with help of a team, about something funny, like fish coin, grow fish, make crypto.

Whitepaper is one of the source but sometimes you have to compare others people review and your own study prior in investing any ICO.

I agree with you whitepaper is not sufficient to conclude the legitimacy and credibility of the ICO & Whitepaper is the introduction of the project between investors and project. Whitepaper is one step to go through to make final call on whether to invest in ICO or not? Investors must follow other steps too as follows
1) Is the project have working product or is it in the pipeline?
2) Information about team members and whether they have good advisor on the board?
3) Whether ICO have backing from venture capitals or some well know crypto influncer and information about partneship?
4) What problem they are solving & what new technology they are bringing to help the society?

A white paper is an authoritative report or guide that informs readers concisely about a complex issue and presents the issuing body's philosophy on the matter. It is meant to help readers understand an issue, solve a problem, or make a decision.

Nevertheless, we need to review what problem the project aims to solve and how they intend solving it. No promises.

Most reason why many ICOs fail is because of too much budget on paying Advisory teams, Conferences and every other unnecessary spending. If your project is great, you need no hypes in as much the solution you are bring to the table is great and will last on the long run. A lil promotion is cool.

We hope we have ICO regulatory bodies that will review ICOs and give a go ahead to proceed once the TOS are met. Many ICO review sites will list different kinds of ICOs as long as they get paid for listing while they ignore what could come after it.

We are also on ICO and we will love you all to scrutinize, check and have a constructive review of our project. https://www.pensionrewards.com (https://www.pensionrewards.com)

various projects come along with brilliant ideas. The project synopsis is on the pages of their website, but the details do not know. to know the details of the project are in the whitepaper (WP). WP project is very important, explanation, mechanism, roadmap and ICO stage are detailed in the WP.

The increasing popularity of Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) - and a spate of fraud and market volatility - has pushed a late debate in Washington, DC, and around the world, about the right regulatory policies for ICOs and cryptocurrency. Some of the most common questions involve the division of authority between the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and whether their authority must enter the cryptocurrency ecosystem, spot market. However, others are contemplating whether a new or alternative regulatory regime is needed to raise cryptocurrency funds, not only here but also in Europe and elsewhere.

You hit the nail on the head. Fancy written whitepaper doesn't translate to a successful ICO these days. This has become even more glaring in 2018. A project's whitepaper could as well be a copy of one project out there. Check the content for plagiarism on plagiarism.net and a lot of these things get exposed

Yes, for investor to know more deep about the project whitepaper is the main source, also whitepaper help to make ico legit, but be careful because many whitepaper just a copy from another whitepaper

Indeed, there are a lot of Whitepapers that contain ideas, concept, and Proposal which are all good but ultimately Scam. It's very easy for them to write and make a Whitepaper for project promotion. So there are so many projects that are scam but the Whitepaper is good. It's best to be careful with this fraud . Thank you for reminding us all at ICO.

Reading the whitepaper is not enough to ensure that the ICO is valid or not. You must be more careful to ascertain whether the ICO is legitimate. Look for a good ICO track record. Also see the manager who works in it. If the manager is clear, then it can be ascertained that the iCO is safe to follow.
