You all have the list OP to check and I believe that it was enough to know a legit project or not. But also you have to remember that not all projects that have a very good start will also likely have an amazing journey because some of them also get lost. The risk can't be lost because at any time of the day it can be changed also. That is why choosing the right coin needs to be (almost)perfect to avoid losses to our ends. But that is difficult when you are not familiar to the market and also when you are new to this.
