      "title": "Crypto ICO II",
      "body": "![image](https://img.esteem.ws/54b7s6kgke.jpg)\n\n# How to participate in an ICO\n\n\n**1. Register with a Cryptocurrency Exchange**\n\n\nTo participate in an ICO, you need cryptocurrencies, usually Ether or Bitcoin. You cannot participate in an ICO with fiat currency. If you don’t own cryptocurrency, you will first need to buy some. The best way to purchase significant amounts of Bitcoin is through online exchanges. Transfer money from your bank account to your newly created account with a cryptocurrency exchange. Please note that the registration process might need some days due to strict KYC and AML regulation. If you don’t have a bank account or don’t want to give up your privacy by sending your ID to a third party like Coinbase, there are other options like buying Bitcoin/Ether from an ATM or locally from other people. For more info read our tutorial on How to buy Bitcoin & other Cryptocurrencies.\n\n \n\n**2. Exchange Fiat for Bitcoin or Ether**\n\n\nOnce you registered an account with an exchange and the money from your bank account has arrived, you could exchange your EUR, USD, etc. for the cryptocurrency you want to buy. This process takes a few seconds. Your cryptocurrencies will be sent to an online wallet offered by the exchange you registered with. Keeping large amounts of coins online might be dangerous since online exchanges are vulnerable to attacks. In the past money got stolen from online exchanges. Therefore it is highly advised that you send your cryptocurrency to a wallet which is under your control. For more info on how to securely store your coins read our tutorial on How to buy Bitcoin & other Cryptocurrencies.\n\n \n\n2. Transfer your Coins from the Exchange to a Blockchain Wallet you Control\nAnother reason for you to move your coins to a wallet which is under your control is the token sale participation. Unless your exchange offers the explicit possibility to participate in a particular ICO with your online wallet, the general rule is not to send funds from an exchange wallet since you won’t have access to the new token. This means that if you use a random online wallet to participate in an ICO and send money to the ICO address, you won’t receive the tokens you bought, which is the equal to losing your investment. If this happens to you then you, contact tech support and try resolving the problem. Note that most exchanges are currently overloaded with requests and mostly still have poor customer service. Furthermore, exchanges might not be obliged to process your request depending on the conditions set in their general “terms of use .”\n\n \n\n**3. Set up your Wallet**\n\nMost token sales today happen on the Ethereum network. Therefore you will need an Ethereum wallet to participate in the token sale. Not every wallet is suitable for ICOs. The most user-friendly and widely accepted Ethereum wallets are MetaMask and MyEhterWallet. MetaMask is a plugin for the Google Chrome browser. It is not only a wallet but also a lightweight Ethereum dApp browser. MyEtherWallet is a client-side wallet and does not hold your private keys. It also connects with hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S or Trezor. Depending on the setup and the ICO one of these wallets might be recommended for the participation. If the startup hasn’t defined a preferred wallet for the ICO, we recommend using MetaMask.\n\nMetaMask is a desktop type of wallet, and we do not recommend storing large values in it. Use it only for the ICO and then move your funds to a more secure place like a hardware wallet or paper wallet. Don’t forget backing up your wallet. Store your 12-word seed in a safe place (not in the cloud). After your wallet is properly setup & backed up send Ether from your online exchange account to your MetaMask wallet.\n\n \n**4. Buy ICO Tokens**\n\nBefore you proceed make sure to read the general terms of the ICO and the token purchase agreement. Most start-ups provide step-by-step guides for the token sale participation including screenshots for each step. Make sure you read these. You should also join the social media channels including Slack or Telegram and follow the news around the ICO. Sometimes token sales experience technical problems and staying up to date during the token sale is crucial. Read how the Status ICO managed to clog the Ethereum network.\n\nAll ICOs start either at a certain time or a previously specified block number. You can use an Ethereum block explorer to check the block numbers. If there is a start time make sure you converted the values for your time zone. Note that some ICOs end in a matter of minutes. Therefore using wallets like Parity that allow for a more advanced setup options might be recommended if you expect the token sale to end quickly.\n\nWhen the token sale starts, you will have to send ETH to the address specified by the team. You will need to set a proper gas limit which is controlled by the MetaMask interface. After you send the transaction there are a couple of scenarios:\n\nYou receive your tokens right after the token sale ends\nYou need to wait for couple of days for your tokens\nYou will need to redeem your tokens manually (look at eos.io token sale)\nNote! In some cases, hackers have manipulated ICO websites, by exchanging the real ETH address with their own ETH address, which means that the address indicated on the ICO website to which investors sent their money was corrupted and the hackers got all the money instead of the team behind the ICO.\n\n \n\n**5. Secure your Tokens**\n\nAfter you receive your tokens in your MetaMask – or MyEtherWallet, or Parity – address make sure to transfer these to a more secure wallet. You will need to have some extra ETH (small amount) stored in your wallet to pay for transaction costs of sending money from wallet to wallet. Note that this will change once Ethereum updates to Metropolis, but currently it is still something you will need to keep in mind.",

If you don’t own cryptocurrency, you will first need to buy some. The best way to purchase significant amounts of Bitcoin is through online exchanges. Transfer money from your bank account to your newly created account with a cryptocurrency exchange. Please note that the registration process might need some days due to strict KYC and AML regulation. If you don’t have a bank account or don’t want to give up your privacy by sending your ID to a third party like Coinbase, there are other options like buying Bitcoin/Ether from an ATM or locally from other people. For more info read our tutorial on How to buy Bitcoin & other Cryptocurrencies.\n\n \n\n**2. Exchange Fiat for Bitcoin or Ether**\n\n\nOnce you registered an account with an exchange and the money from your bank account has arrived, you could exchange your EUR, USD, etc. for the cryptocurrency you want to buy. This process takes a few seconds. Your cryptocurrencies will be sent to an online wallet offered by the exchange you registered with. Keeping large amounts of coins online might be dangerous since online exchanges are vulnerable to attacks. In the past money got stolen from online exchanges. Therefore it is highly advised that you send your cryptocurrency to a wallet which is under your control. For more info on how to securely store your coins read our tutorial on How to buy Bitcoin & other Cryptocurrencies.\n\n \n\n2. Transfer your Coins from the Exchange to a Blockchain Wallet you Control\nAnother reason for you to move your coins to a wallet which is under your control is the token sale participation. Unless your exchange offers the explicit possibility to participate in a particular ICO with your online wallet, the general rule is not to send funds from an exchange wallet since you won’t have access to the new token. This means that if you use a random online wallet to participate in an ICO and send money to the ICO address, you won’t receive the tokens you bought, which is the equal to losing your investment. If this happens to you then you, contact tech support and try resolving the problem. Note that most exchanges are currently overloaded with requests and mostly still have poor customer service. Furthermore, exchanges might not be obliged to process your request depending on the conditions set in their general “terms of use .”\n\n \n\n**3. Set up your Wallet**\n\nMost token sales today happen on the Ethereum network. Therefore you will need an Ethereum wallet to participate in the token sale. Not every wallet is suitable for ICOs. The most user-friendly and widely accepted Ethereum wallets are MetaMask and MyEhterWallet. MetaMask is a plugin for the Google Chrome browser. It is not only a wallet but also a lightweight Ethereum dApp browser. MyEtherWallet is a client-side wallet and does not hold your private keys. It also connects with hardware wallets like the Ledger Nano S or Trezor. Depending on the setup and the ICO one of these wallets might be recommended for the participation. If the startup hasn’t defined a preferred wallet for the ICO, we recommend using MetaMask.\n\nMetaMask is a desktop type of wallet, and we do not recommend storing large values in it. Use it only for the ICO and then move your funds to a more secure place like a hardware wallet or paper wallet. Don’t forget backing up your wallet. Store your 12-word seed in a safe place (not in the cloud). After your wallet is properly setup & backed up send Ether from your online exchange account to your MetaMask wallet.\n\n \n**4. Buy ICO Tokens**\n\nBefore you proceed make sure to read the general terms of the ICO and the token purchase agreement. Most start-ups provide step-by-step guides for the token sale participation including screenshots for each step. Make sure you read these. You should also join the social media channels including Slack or Telegram and follow the news around the ICO. Sometimes token sales experience technical problems and staying up to date during the token sale is crucial. Read how the Status ICO managed to clog the Ethereum network.\n\nAll ICOs start either at a certain time or a previously specified block number. You can use an Ethereum block explorer to check the block numbers. If there is a start time make sure you converted the values for your time zone. Note that some ICOs end in a matter of minutes. Therefore using wallets like Parity that allow for a more advanced setup options might be recommended if you expect the token sale to end quickly.\n\nWhen the token sale starts, you will have to send ETH to the address specified by the team. You will need to set a proper gas limit which is controlled by the MetaMask interface. After you send the transaction there are a couple of scenarios:\n\nYou receive your tokens right after the token sale ends\nYou need to wait for couple of days for your tokens\nYou will need to redeem your tokens manually (look at eos.io token sale)\nNote! In some cases, hackers have manipulated ICO websites, by exchanging the real ETH address with their own ETH address, which means that the address indicated on the ICO website to which investors sent their money was corrupted and the hackers got all the money instead of the team behind the ICO.\n\n \n\n**5. Secure your Tokens**\n\nAfter you receive your tokens in your MetaMask – or MyEtherWallet, or Parity – address make sure to transfer these to a more secure wallet. You will need to have some extra ETH (small amount) stored in your wallet to pay for transaction costs of sending money from wallet to wallet. Note that this will change once Ethereum updates to Metropolis, but currently it is still something you will need to keep in mind.",

      "body": "![image](https://img.esteem.ws/a6qpvwi2yz.jpg)\nThe first I will talk about is What ICO means\n\nICO (Initial Coin Offering) is a new type of crowdfunding that has been trending lately and will only become more popular in the next few years. It’s a great opportunity for small businesses to get funding from their dedicated communities in the early stages. On the one hand, it’s much easier to get venture capital. On the other hand, it’s not a sure fire way of gaining capital needed for your business. Keep in mind that the same things (business prospectives, team, revenue stream, technology) matter for both types of investors. Coming unprepared will not serve you well. So, how do you make your first steps into the world of launching an ICO for your business?\n\n ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/q9q3x1cxlw.jpg)\n\n* **How is the token used in your business model?\n**\n\nThere are different types of business models to choose from, the three most widely used models are:\n\nToken as a mechanism for voting,\nToken as a mechanism for investment,\nAnd token as a mechanism for payment of services within your product.\nThe most important thing to keep in mind is that the token must be closely connected to the product. Most of all, it must makes business sense to use the token and not some other form of currency (for example fiat). With growing concerns about safety in this new ICO environment, make sure that you are using smart contracts.\n\n\n* **Distribution**\n\nMake a schedule up front about how you want to distribute your token, and how much of the token is available. Do you want to limit your token to a certain amount, so it will never be more than say, 100.000.000 tokens? You can also decide to distribute when it makes business sense. Or entrust distribution of the extra token to a selected council or simply ask all your token holders to vote on the matter. From an investor point of view, a limited amount of tokens is preferable. A limited amount will mean increased demand over time, which will lead to the token going up in value.\n\n* **Platform**\n\nThe most popular platform for token distribution is Ethereum. As it has an extended smart contract virtual machine, you can use it to customise or program your logic from scratch. This adds lots of options to your smart contract. But the downside is that you will have to be able to code it yourself. Or hire coders familiar with smart contracts. If you want to do it more straightforward, you can use Plug and Play platforms like Bitshares. However, you are limited to the choices they offer in the customisation of your logic. Bitshares has the option to accept any cryptocurrency for your token, which will extend the list of possible investors markedly.\n\nThere are a few alternative platforms like Ripple and Waves that have made token distribution easy for anyone. But that also means that those platforms are crowded with lots of various tokens, making it harder to find good investment opportunities.\n\n\n* **Jurisdiction and legal steps**\n\nAlthough there are not many regulatory laws surrounding crypto, there is a good chance this might change in the future. The step of where to incorporate your company is one that should be well thought-out, as it impacts the way your business might grow in the future. Singapore will monitor not only the token distribution, but also how you operate your company afterwards. Other common countries for incorporation are Switzerland, Virgin Islands, and Europe. Some countries are not connected to English law but are setting up their own regulation,like Belarus or Russia. Keep in mind, you’ll have to incorporate two companies: one for the token sales and one for your operations\n\n\n* **Listing on exchanges**\n\nThe final step of the process is to get your token listed on various exchanges, so investors can easily buy and sell your tokens. Each exchange has their own requirements and the pricing differs. Some exchanges ask for more than 50 BTC to get listed. However the more exchanges you are listed on, the easier it is for more investors to buy and sell your tokens.\n\n\n**How to participate in an ICO?**\n\n ![image](https://img.esteem.ws/7ttt82hcrf.jpg)\n\n**1.
