Is there any real benefit to a company running an ICO that lasts a long time to attract more investors, or is it best to get it over quickly so that people are encouraged to rush to invest?
If the length of the ICO is stated clearly at the beginning, then personally I don't think that there is any real difference. The issue comes, both for investors and bounty hunters, when the dates get extended/changed during the ICO. This is rarely a good sign, as it most likely means that they are not raising as much funds as they anticipated (whatever the excuse/reason that the ICO manager themselves give). It can be for genuine reasons though, so it does not necessarily mean you have picked a three legged horse.
It is frustrating as an investor when you have invested early because of the bonuses on offer, and then the same (or even better bonuses) are offered during the latter stages. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do, and the bottom line is that you want the project to be successful, otherwise your investment is likely to lose some/all of it's value anyway. I would rather a project extended it's ICO and managed to hit their targets, than finish on time and struggle to deliver on their vision. Some of the best cryptocurrencies started off as slow burners, so a drawn out, support lacking ICO is not necessarily a bad thing, but it does imply that you are probably best waiting until it hits the exchanges as demand is still likely to be low.

Totally agreed! I'd safely say most ICOs are similar to short term pump-and-dumps or fly-by-night schemes at worst. It's hard to find a legit ICO run by legitimate companies and actual long term plans. Even rarer are ICOs launched by companies with a product or service already available and sold in the market, and are looking at blockchain technology to scale or innovate their business further. A great case in point is VLUX, run by UK's Green Running. It's definitely worth taking a look - http://vlux.io/ (http://vlux.io/)

I definitely agree! Greed or lack of interest from investors is usually what motivates the extension of an ICO and it is usually not a good sign! And if the period is short and everything is made on a "rush"... it will probably end up in pump&dump schemes...
There is also a problem for investors when ICO's are long... how about the ETH or BTC price that can change a lot on just 1 month... if you invest early sometimes the bonus is burned on the ETH price evolution, for example...
In the end i think ICOs are the real problem, we need to find another solution that can secure financing for ICOs and startups but in a different way... maybe spartans are on the right track...

In current market situation long ico is a solution that makes a lot of sense
I personally decided to support MyShield because of being backed by a mother company Brand Shield that is reveled visiting their www https://www.myshield.com/ in the url bar next to www

Wow yeah, what an awful situation... I don't think I've ever seen something quite like that before.. I'm usually under the impression you either get in on pre-sale or you buy it on bounty token release day on ForkDelta or IDEX. ICOs are just really frustrating in general lately.. with idiots like Ian Balina bringing all the noobs in, everyones just a Binance or big exchange pump and dump group.

VLUX is really one of those ICOs that has a great potential because of the strong team behind the project. They already have an MVP and a stable company backing them.

It depends on the ICO. Some are good only for flip, and some can become new Uber.
-
Or some settle at certain price i would even consider from the point of view of the management of stabilising the value through direct involvement at the exchange
-
ICos is a long term project . Technology is bit complexed so that why its a long term project .
We have development so many ico exchanges sites .

it depends on the ico, is it good or bad. The only thing it is to think about is it.

Mate for an ICO I think it depends on how we research which we can get an Idea for short or long ICO.And for me if the OCO project will sold out and that matters all.
-
To be fair, it is absolutely down to the ICO itself. IF it holds value, then it will be good in both ways, but if the ICO is all about early temptation, then short is BEST survival. I personally prefer to go with one that got likable theme instead of a random one.
Another way that you must be careful not to miss any MAJOR news, as it is something that can really hurt you. I don’t miss a much and not much chance either with AsiaCryptoToday (https://www.asiacryptotoday.com/asia-crypto-today-crypto-news-flash-2/), which just comes incredibly easy for me in every way!
-
Before investing in ICO, we must analyze whether it has a product or not. If it has, it is better for the long-term investment. For, many ICO coins are there and the prices are always collapsing after the ICO ends and on the exchange.

Agreed. this has come to me and yet i have no right to complaint in the term of ICO. hope there is any regulation for this thing. so investor can treated fairly for early-bird stage
-
In my personal opinion, it will depend on the concept of the ICO. If it has the product in the future, it will be a very promising long-term investment.
-
This will depends on how good is the team doing on their promotions to attract investors and having a good team will also be a factor in making a short ICO that can collect money in just a short period of time.
-
I agree with you, because now it is very difficult to find an ICO that really does not cheat for that many investors do not dare to invest. maybe there is a good ICO know what.
-
It does not matter how long the ICO has. It is important that the start and end of the training camp are clearly defined. If it's not there, it's a bad sign.
-
I never invest in ico that have long period.. if a project is valid there is no need to have a long period and also price volatility of eth and bitcoin will create big differences in buy price for long ico
-
Constantly there are a lot of new projects, unfortunately, not all of them can be trusted :(
-
This can be avoided by buying tokens with a security guarantee
-
I don't think anyone can guarantee 100% security.
-
For example w12.io (https://tokensale.w12.io/?utm_source=psv&utm_medium=altcoinstalks&utm_campaign=altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=19062.15) has fraud protection. Such projects can be trusted at 100%
-
That's right @ metall140s. If ico is good, then it will certainly last a long time. But if the ico is not unique, I don't think that the ico project will last long. This will bring losses to investors.
-
I prefer the long, tiring ICO duration for us. Planning and implementation takes time, planning must be run well and it requires a lot of time to implement. There are so many obstacles in an ICO, being patient and working hard will produce maximum targets.
