BigBom Eco review :

An ico everyone talking about but no one knows what it's actually about
(Review is done by our community member @paskiss, thanks for the efforts)

Bigbom Eco, according the whitepaper, it's the first digital advertising ecosystem built as a decentralized application platform (DApp), which links ad platforms and publishers to advertisers globally. It serves as a decentralized advertising ecosystem for all parties involved in online advertising, inclusive of advertisers, service providers, content publishers, advertising channels, platforms. Bigbom Eco is being developed using smart contract, running on Ethereum blockchain.

* It's a DAPP with its own native token BBO built on Ethereum so will be issued as erc-20 token and can be quickly listed on DEXs
*Close partnerships with Tomochain, KyberNetwork and Bancor
* Low cap (hard cap 12k ETH or $8,5mln)
* Offered 10% bonus also durin main crowdsale so logically were higher bonues during private sale with no lock-up according BigBom's whitepaper - high chance of it being quickly dumped in 1st day of listing at DEXs
* MVP is on, beta version: https://beta-en.bigbom.com/login
I simply couldn't log in to test it so no review
* Roadmap too long in case of development and not enough information - alpha version of current platform and beta of Bigbom iAds in October 2018
* Marketing countries' expansion, based on number of ETH collected, another uncertainty
* close cooperation with Tomochain's team, signed MOU - it's plus and minus, plus as we have proven partnership and cooperation, minus cause it makes BigBom mostly depended on Tomochain's team
* BBO token gives permission for buying services on the platform and let advertisers to give reviews with certain amount of BBO reward from the bonus fund.

To sum up :
low interest. Utility of token is almost zero,except obvious usecase as paying for services in the platform and voting rights for advertisers to make reviews and rate the top publishers. I doubt users of the BigBom ecosystem will be highly interested even it gives us bonues in shape of BBO token but even though logically it makes it another dump reason. The only and main positive for me is low hard cap but marketing industry won't be an easy task for small projects to appear and gain most of the industry's users with no potential risks. It will take much effort and time to be ON stage with this project. From investor's point of view, I don't expect a high or perhaps any growth rate during first months, its rather a long term investment but definitely it's still too early for such idea and to pick up some tokens now even I find it potentially good and innovatory in matter of blockchain technologies.

Our whitelist has been temporarily closed due to 100k registered already – we will announce when it is re-opened. Thanks for your patience

Some ICO insights from TokenData :

In April, 48 completed ICOs raised a total of $548M.
This is a significant (25%) decline since March and close to a 70% decline from the "ICO fundraising peak" in January.
Total capital raised by completed ICOs stands at $4.1B in 2018 versus $5.6B for 2017.

Two trends stood out in April:

Higher ICO Failure Rate:
7 out of every 10 ICOs that ended in April did not publish any data about the completion of their token sale or completely disappeared from the internet.
We consider these ICOs to have "failed". Although it's a lagging indicator, it's the highest failure rate since we started capturing data in 2016,
and further shows that many projects are of very low quality.

New definition of "success":
Even for ICOs that do publish data, we're seeing a trend towards vague reporting.
For example: some ICOs claim a "successful" raise but do not report any data on funds raised (USD, ETH, BTC) and/or
the smart contract address through which we verify our data. Instead, these projects report the number of tokens sold,
which is meaningless, since many of these projects give heavy discounts at the start of the sale.
So - we're seeing a downward trend.

Above Data is excluding Telegram and EOS ico.

The Telegram private sale raised $1.7B
The private filings with the SEC show that Telegram raised $850M in February and March... a staggering total of $1.7B.
If we include this data our ICO fundraising estimate for 2018 increases to $5.8B, - surpassing the $5.6B raised in 2017.

It gets even crazier...

EOS has raised $3.3B and is still active for 2 months
Our analysis of all the Ethereum transactions sent to the EOS token sale shows
that EOS has raised close to $3.3B since the sale started in June 2017 with the following annual totals:
2017: EOS raised $840M
2018: EOS raised $2.25B year-to-date
Corrected for Telegram and EOS, ICOs have raised $8B in 2018...
Taking both the Telegram and EOS data into account, we adjust the 2017 capital raised number to $6.5B and 2018's to $8B.
It only took 4 months for ICOs to raise more capital than in all of 2017....
Nonetheless - even with the large adjustments for Telegram and EOS - we see a decline in token fundraising since the start of 2018.

PHANTASMA UPDATE :
Due to overwhelming requests by the community, we have changed the 2nd stage and will now include a 50 NEO maximum individual cap, but it won’t be a guaranteed cap equal to the 1st stage, it will function on a First Come First Served basis. This stage will still only be available to those who are whitelisted, and will start immediately after the 1st stage ends, on the 23rd of May at 00h00.

❗️ Sparkster HYPE LEVEL updated from AVERAGE to FOMO

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nE9SSpDNCnfsD6cNFmjMnjFUpuXMChIENB8aLrGTTyk/edit?usp=sharing

My views on Sparkster :

Team :
Sparkster has been in existence since 2014 and it wasn't a blockchain centric company.
Team is quiet weak and when I say weak that means, team does not have a prior experience in blockchain tech to execute their claims.
They want to build 10M TPS which is pretty big claim. ETH is struggling to go above 10TPS and NEO has same fate as everyone knows.
These guys want to build what vitalik and his team can't achieve so team must be better than ETH team.

Product :
Their testnet result shows 6000 TPS that means they want to achieve 1666.66667x in live environment, good luck with that.

My opinion :
Use hype for your own benefit, don't get sucked into it and start loving the project.
Sparkster is such kind of ico where I can't say this is gonna work 100% to give good ROI.
The hype sparkster got is short lived. Such hypes don't last long.
Two scenarios :
1. Hype dies until exchange listing or market tanks, I become a bagholder.
2. Market is good and people are still hyped about sparkster, then I will just flip.

Sparkster is a kind of ICO where you just Buy, Flip, Take your money and run.
I'll be doing the same.
Who knows, hype might last longer and gives good ROI in short term, but I won't be taking that risk.

Note : Do your own research and make your own decisions. Opinions above are my personal and should not be considered as a financial advise.

Ok so whats so interesting about a crowdfunding platform?
Two things
1. Pledgecamp was selected from among hundreds of teams to compete on May 11 for up to $1M in capital and mentorship from Riccardo “fluffypony” Spagni and Indiegogo’s ICO team.
2. Advisors include Randi Zuckerberg,Jim Augustine from Zuckerberg Media, Keith Teare Founding Partner at TechCrunch, Prince Abdullah(Saudi Royal Family) and many more.
So hype will be there.
