Any Good ICO's Coming???

[RegalChicken]

The last two ICO's that really interested me are both closed before I heard of them.. Are there any good upcoming ICO's worth looking at?

Its hard to keep on top of the quality with so many projects coming out these days. I also missed the last couple that have taken my interest, personally I think it is easier to buy post ICO tokens that have dropped in value (whether below ICO price or close to ICO price but no where near ATH) and are now closer to releasing the product they raised funds for. 

If the bloom ICO was not trying to raise so much it would be of interest to me.

No ICO but did have one that sold out in half a minute. Very interesting concept!

I may be wrong, but this is the second round of the ICO?

I don't think it's an ICO anymore, technically. You just buy it on whatever exchange you prefer that offers it. They have an event coming up on the 15th that will last a week long. It's an auction for the virtual land. Should be interesting to watch.

damn dude. decentraland went up like 140% hours after you posted that. next time tell me a week in advance of the moonshot so i have time to research lol.

I dont know if Chainium can be called a good ICO, but their idea at least aligns well with the general idea behind blockchain, ie. decentralization, and is potentially very disruptive. Their idea is a platform for  buying/selling shares directly between companies-private investors, cutting out the middleman.

I wonder when we will see a christmas-related ICO. Perhaps something along these lines:

XMAS ICO: Send x-mas cards through the blockchain, enjoy full privacy and be sure the mailman doesnt read your letters. the more people use XMAS tokens, the more valuable it becomes. Send us yout ETH now and get 500 XMAS tokens extra for free. BUY BUY BUY! Wait, don't we already have email to do this? 

Seriosuly, some real ICOS sound a bit like this to me. Finding good ICOs is a bit like digging for gold.

https://sirinlabs.com/ Has already raised over 100mil!

Interesting ICO considering it is redeemable for actual products, the fund raising mechanism is very similar to kickstarter so I cant see it running afoul of security laws. The fact that it is redeemable for products does put a cap on price.

Jibrel seems interesting.... Has a very good ICO rating as well...

I like the idea, but those phone/pc specs are painfully low for the price...

Without a doubt. Also one of the major issues with speculative tokens that relate to a product, in order for the product to be competitive the token price needs to reflect real world competition, the nature of this market is product end up being thousands of dollars more expensive then just buying it with fiat i.e the 300,000$$ debit card.

What are your guys thoughts on Kin? I know Kik is the first unicorn company to do an ICO and it sounds like they want to integrate Kin (the native crypto asset) into other apps - Tencent is an investor. I believe that ICO was concluded a couple months ago but it's only listed on 3-4 exchanges.

I feel that this is a much better way to monetize and incentive social media and a digital sharing economy than current social media platforms like facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat, etc. My thoughts are that if Kik is already valued at $1B and Kin is being integrated into Kik then the market cap should at least be half of the $1B valuation (to be conservative). This would mean it already has some room to grow since it's current market cap is <$100M.

Additionally, is this a use case that Ripple/XRP could attack in the future? I know that Kin is moving away from the ethereum platform and onto the Stellar platform - maybe they switch over to ILP/codius? What are your guys thoughts? I also find it interesting that Jeb Mcaleb is an Investment Committee Member at Pantera, which is invested in Ripple. Could be nice to see some synergies in the crypto space.
