Hi. I have participated in some ICOs. Some of them were really bad, including lies or half truths, harrasing users that made questions on telegram, changing the terms on the fly... But I would like to know what people think is the right way to conduct an ICO.
Best ICO experiences will deal successfully in many different points; as in was there a profit, were questions answered in a respectful and knowledgable way, were terms and conditions originally outlined in the white paper followed as described in the ICOs roadmap, were payment transactions seem less and secure, were the participants like minded individuals who added value to the ico or its communicative platform. These many points all add up to the success of any ICO, and rarely if ever does an ICO dot every i of these points. With that said, ICOs do evolve as they progress in funding, therefore timelines are a natural mutable point of any ICO within reason as funding may dictate the speed of the details of an ICOs progress. CEOs, Devs, Admins having the knowledge and respect to communicate with potentially thousands of people per day and this is naturally an exhausting type of role to be in. With that said, a valuable tool to enact is a Q&A section where the public may answer their own questions. This latter point is lacking in the ICOs of today. Either the Q&A is absent or is understatedly written and not a form of efficient and cohesive communication. When this occurs, frustration develops within these microcosms of communities we call ICOs.
