Thanks for all of this. Very educational as this is my first ICO as well, but I only put in 0.5 ETH. I also rushed in because of McAfee. Won't do THAT again. I never heard of MVP's before. Now I have.

I only started hesitating myself when their support turned out to be so bad. Never a response on their online chat link or even email. They have a Telegram group, but even there, the lone rep from Bezop seems(ed) overwhelmed.

So this is my contribution to a checklist of evaluating ICO's: check out their support before you jump in. See if you can reach them.

My experience with trade.io was much better, even though I couldn't make the minimum deposit. I wish I could have, they seemed much more legit. They responded almost instantly to their online chat. Like an ICO should. Kudos to trade.io.

Anyhow, lessons learned.
