I only check the forum alt. Coin section, read a lot of Whitepaper and depend on my gut for decision making
Sometimes people like to really complicate things and try to find icos all over the internet when this forum is the best source of information and if an ico wants to become successful almost with all security the developers are going to create an ANN thread in the forum, I have no idea how many icos have become successful without an ANN thread in the forum but I suppose there are not many examples of that.
