I recently ran into ByteCoin. So, I decided to dig a bit deeper into it. A few things I noticed are that it seems to be just starting to gain momentum. But, there are a few things that bother me about this. First, I have read some comments of people being restricted from withdrawing their purchased Bytecoin. Second, what exactly is special about it? I mean privacy and security are great. But, every other currency does does that.

I am still doing my research on this coin, as I am looking for a new place to invest in. I just wanted to post this to see if anybody had more knowledge about the situation with this Altcoin.

Thanks.

Kind of a noob question, but what do you mean by coins having lending?  Like, I lend them coins for an interest?

And good catch. Will definitely keep this in mind.

I’ve been investing in the exchanges for a while now. And, I wabnt to get my feet wet in ICO investing. My plan is to start investing in 1 ICO every 2 weeks starting January of next year. So, with that said, I am gonna start small and only invest maybe $200 max per ICO (mostly from the interest gained with my other investments in Crypto; I am gonna try to avoid paying out of pocket as much as possible initially until I have more experience).

With that said, I am not quite sure where to start. Usually, I invest in coins trading in the cents on exchanges based on the folkowing criteria:
- purpose: Why does the coin exist?)
- White paper: What’s the plan and vision for this coin?)
- Team: Who are the guys behind it? What’s theircexpertise?
- Roadmap: Wgat’s the roadmap for this coin?
- Community: does the coin have a decent community?
- Do I understand it: Do I understand what I am investing in?

Pretty standard stuff, I know. But what do I have to look at when deciding whether to invest in an ICO (that I didn’t mention)?

Thanks for the info
