A lot of people have been burned by founders running away with with ICO money. It tarnishes the reputation of cryptocurrencies and I believe we should help educate new investors as soon as possible.
Can anyone share a checklist of the things they look for to determine if a coin is worth investing in?
And what are the red flags that you often see people fall for?

if they promising listing price definetly red flags.
check roadmap, whitepaper, team behind it.
look structure their announcement, website, other information...
