as a crypto noob, i have trouble wrapping my head around a lot of the whitepapers. ive only bought into two icos so far, DIM and SND. And they have made me no profits so far. thats a 100% record! although im waiting for DIM to be listed and SND to start on their project early next year. fingers crossed
The whitepaper is what I read as well. I don't know if I heard about those coins since they are new to the cryptocurrency world though.
