Now you need to look deeper, read the whitepaper and the purpose of the coins made, see how the coin roadmap is for your criteria, usually a successful team is easier to make the project successful.
Yes it's good to read the roadmap and whitepaper of a project that you like, but I don't think that the whitepaper is enough to determine its legitimacy. There are a lot of factors we need to consider such as the team's track record, opinion of others in the community. Luckily Menlo One will be launching its decentralized ICO marketplace soon. We won't have to spend so much time checking every ICO and we'd get to just pick which we think is the best investment...
