Hello. I`m the regular visiter of the forum for almost an year. For the most part of this time i had no certain criteria to choose ICO or bounty programm and because of that i was scammed several times. About 3-4 months ago i discovered some important factors, that can help to find successful project and i decided to share it with you.

1. Choose the projects with the ended presale, estimate the result of it. Usually, presale nicely shows the future of the project and the work of the team. If everything is done perfectly, they get enough funds(sometimes project collect softcap at this stage), then the project will have more chances to stay alive after the ICO.

2. Look for the project with partnership with famous advisers or organizations. For example, Azbit project (live atm) have Roger Ver in their team as adviser. Or Bidooh project have OKEx as their token holder. However, dont just believe, check everything! I wrote to OKEx support to get details.

3. Pick up the projects, which tokens have been listed on exchange already. That`s one of the best choices. DCC bounty campaign was live when token was on the exchange.

4. Take part in the projects with some special rewars system. For example, my current signature. They share ETH in special task contest every week.

5. Projects, where devs are just enthusiasts and they are not going to run ICO are good and perspective too. Example: semux, privcy.

That were my tips, which really help to pick up a good project, because they reflects the seriousness of dev`s intent, attention from the society to the project and the approximate potential. I hope they will help you someday:)
