With the amount of ICO's these days it is becoming hard figure out what is good tech and what it hype.  Both can make or lose your hard earned cash.   I normally don't participate and just wait for coins to hit the open market.  However I recently made an exception...  

I was on [cointelegraph](https://cointelegraph.com/news/automated-bot-to-alert-investors-about-changing-altcoin-prices) yesterday and ran across an article for this new service called [CryptoPing](https://cryptoping.tech/?i=30469).

This service scans 4 exchanges (Poloniex, Bitttrex,Cryptopia, Yobit) for volatility and sends alerts via telegram.  To use the service you do need to have [telegram](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger) installed on your phone.

***How to Get Started***

It's actually pretty straight forward.  After you [Sign Up](https://cryptoping.tech/?i=30469) you go to your profile and link it to your telegram profile.

You will start receiving notifications as soon as there is volatility detected in the markets..

***Specific Alerts***

You can also setup specific price alerts for coins across the exchanges when you are in a conversation with the bot.

***What About the ICO?***

If you want to participate you can do so once you login. It's not required to use the service.

As I noted before I don't normally contribute to ICO's so 1 only invested enough to get 1,000 ping tokens. (.1111 BTC)

(Note:  Only invest what you can afford to lose.  The crypto market is very volatile.  There is no guarantee the price will increase or decrease once the token hits the market ) 

As always thanks for reading!!!
