Quite a lot of countries mentioned here. Others are just asking to confirm you are not from China or the USA. Quite a bothering trend - to know that all these countries reject ICOs and crypto or stigmatize them as "illegal"
The rumour has it that 80% of ICOs are scamful, that's why they are prohibiting. I even came across such a "study" recently.
Another thing is that no one wants to analyze the projects and put some efforts to getting the details. It's much easier to blame the project you invested in that acknowledge that it is actually you who bears all the responsibility for investing.
Sorry for digressing in this thread, it's just a very painful topic for me
Yeah, i read this article too. They picked the ICOs that had a minimum market cap of $50M and were expected to go into active trading and categorized them into six different groups: Scam, Failed, Gone Dead, Dwindling, Promising, and Successful.The study results reveal that of the whole pie, a whopping 81 percent of the ICOs turned out to be scams. Another 6 percent fell into the Failed category, and 5 percent had Gone Dead, taking the total for Failure to List group to 92 percent.
And despite all these negative and depressing statistics we're still participating in ICOs, 'couse we trully believe in these 8%
Sorry to intrude, but how to spot a great ICO and avoid scam?

Re: [ANN][BOUNTY] CLICKGEM (CGM) – THE GLOBAL PAYMENT REVOLUTION !!!
Question probably has been asked many times, but what is the min contribution for ico?
The answer is in the first post, it is written that the minimum contribution is $35.
PS: Anyone who wants to ask a question should probably start by looking at the first post (and maybe the links it has, like to the website).
Yeah, you right, all these comments are so annoying... You must read whitepaper, if you want to know full information about project. Also you must read social channels, reviews and so on... I always read whitepaper first
Oh, finally someone figured out that all these storages built on 'anyone-can-keep-my-files' are such a fail. I know a little bit about professional hosting, u know... so keep it up, we'll see what you can do... but I loved the Filecoin idea, such a pity they've screwed it up
Hi! Yes, Filecoin is fine, but it disrupts almsot everything existing Blockchain as a technology is better to integrated with smth already exsiting Smth totally new is not always Ok when you try to implement it
Nah... Filecoin so much looks like scam to me... I've been watchin them closely for some time. Big fuss, no result.
Ah, one more thing. I also don't quite follow the idea with content distribution - there are projects dedicated to this feature solely. What makes you better in this aspect?
Hi! Saying "there are projects dedicated to this feature" what projects do you mean? Guess I haven't met projects about distribution
Please explain in as much detail as possible the underlying rationale for the business issuing the tokens, and the underlying use or functionality of the tokens.

I am intrigued. I still need to study the whitepaper of this project.

Re: [ANN] S P 8 D E - The Las Vegas of The Internet. Pre-ICO NOW LIVE
Hi there. I dont really understand how did you manage to turn a really predictable POS protocol into the system which really generates random numbers.
It became possible due to Follow-The-Satoshi procedure which is the core of Ouroboros protocol that is used on this platform.
How does this wonderful protocol work? Can you describe the principles of its operation?
No problem! First a random smallest unit of the system is being chosen Satoshi it has its own serial number. The protocol determines who owns this Satoshi and this user receives the right to create a block.
This system is really not bad. Consequently, the more Satoshi the miners have, the higher the possibility that this user will get an opportunity to launch the block is, right?
It's very probable with PoS
