Do other ICOs do a better job distributing instructions?

EDIT: so, apart from posting the address across as many channels as possible, and telling people to cross-check, what options are there? You could announce addresses way beforehand and have them send ETH to the final address once you release it, using that as a signal.

Usually, companies conducting ICO's only release the block number in advance, the smart contract address is generally released last sometimes just hours before the ICO start time.

All ICOs are centralised. It's lots of people sending their money to one entity, never the other around.
