Following a post on the EthTrader subreddit a community effort was established to crowdsource a set of criteria for evaluating ICOs. Work moved to this repo after stablising from an initial working doc.
EthTrader ICO Review Request: Kin
Start a new google spreadsheet. Put the name of the ICO in A1 (eg. 0x) and the url for the ICO in A2 and leave the name of that sheet either Sheet1 or rename it to Details. Then go to Tools > Script editor and paste in the contents of the makeForm.gs script. Run the script and you will have auto-created a new google form (you will find it at https://docs.google.com/forms/) which you can share on EthTrader to request reviews of the ICO.
Any and all suggestions on phrasing, weighting/multipliers, missing or extraneous criteria, are welcome. These can be made in this repo or in project slack.
Each criteria has an associated multiplier which is a suggestion for it's relative importance. The set of criteria is intended to form the basis for crowdsourced reviews by EthTrader users. Scores from users who submitted reviews would be weighted using the multiplier and then aggregated to establish a community review score. A test review was requested and completed for the 0x token sale.
Criteria can be tagged as flaggable and currently 2 criteria are: Token utility & Security. These criteria require special consideration and must pass a threshold (3.5/5) for the overall review score to not be flagged with a warning. While otherwise scoring well, out of 47 respondents for the 0x review the average score for Token utility was 3.2.
