You have said it all, but however Ferrum Network conducted a kind of ICO this year and it was successful as it finished within hours. Also, within days they got their token listed on a good exchange too. The last time I checked, it was trading above ICO price don't know about now.That's the only successful ICO I have seen this year others switched to IEO.� In addition, from all ramifications this year is the year of IEOs but depends on the exchange promoting it though.
