Be descriptive and don't be too aggressive in posting your title. Phrases like, "Vote this to spread the word!" or "AMAZING!" tend to annoy most redditors which increases the chances of your post being marked as spam.

How long is their turn around time after payment? Did you use Bitcoin? If so, how much is the fee?? TIA

is it a possibility that we might end up getting banned from Reddit because of unusually high  number of upvotes?

I usually choose projects that have relatively high enough ratings in websites such as icobench or icorating.com... then again, I heard that admins or publishers of these sites can be bribed in exchange for good ratings. I even saw firsthand a post here in BCT selling reviews. disgusting...     Anyway, once Menlo One will launch, it will be much easier and we won't need to do as much research since it's going to be "an all in one" decentralized platform.. this means there no more bribes in exchange for ratings..  link to their site &Whitepaper: https://www.menlo.one/

Yes, many countries have started to draft regulations on ICOs. Hopefully this will help lessen scams. In addition to that, a project called Menlo One is launching its ICO listing marketplace within the year also to help weed out scams and provide legit projects the funds they need. This is their site and whitepaper: https://www.menlo.one/

As an investor,  I care about how solid a project is and whether it has the potential for mass adoption.. During Neo's early stages, I didn't care much about its airdrops or bounties... Same goes for new and upcoming projects I am eyeing such as eloncity, Menlo One, WePower, etc...

They posted an announcement back in July that they will have to postpone the token sale due to registration requirements of Malta which is taking some time.. I am also following this project and hope that it will have no further delays after this.

I think Menlo One will be one of the best token sales this year. What makes it unique is it's user-friendly UI, decentralized system which cannot be corrupted, and it is pro-innovation focusing on helping other projects that deserve to be funded. Future ICOs are lucky that Menlo One has finally launched since they won't need to spend as much on advertising. Their whitepaper: https://www.menlo.one

It's a good thing Menlo One is at its ICO stage at last.. Once it hits mass adoption, we won't need advertising platforms as much since they already provide easy access and selection of good (and potentially bad)  ICOs. What's great about this project is that it is very transparent since it is decentralized and runs on a proof of reputation algorithm.

Your tips are much appreciated.. Altough we might not need to exert too much effort in doing research soon since a decentralized ICO marketplace called Menlo.one is launching its token sale soon. How is this related to stopping scams? Its CEO, Matt Nolan, mentioned that they have found a way to help with the various issues most investors fear about ICOs. Link to their whitepaper: https://www.menlo.one/

I think ICOs will die if there are only a handful of investors left and the main reason why investors would stop betting on ICOs is because of scams.

That said, I've been eyeing a project called MenloOne for some time now. This project is for a decentralized ICO marketplace where its CEO, Matt Nolan, mentioned that they have found a way to help with the various issues most investors fear about ICOs. Has anyone heard of this project and does their team have a good track record?

I'm eyeing a sale for Menlo tokens this July since they say it's going to be used for the Menlo One ICO marketplace where retail investors can invest and discuss among themselves which ICOs are potentially fraudulent and which ones deserve funding. They even reward the best legit contributors in the community. Anyone heard of this project and if so, is this legit?

Are ICOs still viable investment options nowadays? I'm looking at Impetus, Aethion, or Menlo tokens, but how do we know which coins have the potential to grow in value?

Can we still make money in ICOs nowadays? I heard that their minimum investment amount isn't so ideal for retail investors who don't have much. I was kinda planning to join upcoming token sales such as Decoin, Menlo One, or Boltcoin. Any of these good choices?

I think those who wish to upvote/downvote are the people who choose to do so in hopes to monetize their contribution to the community in the future once they have made it to a certain threshold. What's good about it is that people are actually incentivized to stay honest and not cheat or else they get their ranks (or reputation) down to zero.


I think they are aware that ICO investors is not a big market, but they do spend huge amounts on ICOs. What's more is that I don't think ICObench or any other "competitor" offers the same convenience and transparency.

This is exactly why I think MenloOne's timing is perfect. Scams are destroying the reputation of good tokens out there which makes investors afraid of joining the next one. With Menlo's Townhall, even new investors can enter without worrying too much because they have an unbiased community which rewards useful posts that are not there for mere hype.

I think there are a lot of challenges with ICOs and some worth noting on top of others would be that they are not accessible to all or difficult to participate in, and that reviews about them could be one sided for the purpose of tricking investors into trusting them.

It's really not easy to detect scams/vaporware no matter how much effort we exert in doing our research since sources we read from might be misinformation to begin with. Menlo One's TownHall is a brilliant solution to this problem as it basically incentivices legitimate posts and puts a user's accountability on the line with their "proof of reputation algorithm". Say goodbye to biased reviews!

On top of that, people can easily view all (listed) upcoming ICOs and conveniently participate in them within one platform. Awesome  

I'm waiting for DAI to finally go live as I am sure it's going to be one of the top cryptos soon. Not sure how it's going to work with its 1:1 ratio with the dollar though...

@TS Don't be stupid.. Without govt, there will be chaos. With cryptos alone, there will be no insurance and regulation which means hackers and thieves will thrive..

Looking at the community basically tells a lot about the team behind the coin. Although background checking the team behind the coin should still be prioritized.
