vlom's list is damning evidence of the coming future for this weeks ICO hotcakes ...

Sure there needs to be venture capital (seed funding) to make the New New but until there are systems of account (and escrow officers signing off on expenditures) ... it just going to be more of the same old same old ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam and Spoets screaming told you so!

With the shitcoins, at least there is a network.  But these assets have less worth than fiat paper, cuz theys is not even paper.  Vaporware is even worse, NXT started in 2014 and has an ETA of 2018 before it works as promised, hell at least their honest in the timeframe projections ... LSK, ETH might be stable platforms for the average yahoos come 2021 Wink

Problem is that only a few ICOs are successful and most of the rest are scams.
It is a good idea to study them one by one. With better study, we can know better why some succeed and others failed.

speaking of Lucky7  Roll Eyes

name one successful ICO
name one ICO that is exemplar ... the template to follow!

Again imo trust agents need to hold in escrow the raised BTC; later it can be programmed into smart contracts.  TheDAO is promising such solution.  We will see  Roll Eyes Grin  

imo ...
GEMZ & SWARM had the best indicators of they might work  Lips sealed

adding to vlom's list:

Aurora (premine acting as a kind of ICO)
Paycoin
START (premine acting as a kind of ICO)
CLAM (air drop premine as a kind of ICO)
http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/storjcoin-x/  (best numbers/chart) << maybe the success case
