Add "New app" as a "Transparency" score for new wallets with a short track record #503
Conversation

I like this idea. I suggest we change the second sentence from:
To:
This removes the metaphor/colloquialism "short track record" which may not be clear to certain non-native English speakers and so should allow for a smoother translation. It also removes the time dependency here: in my opinion, it's the lack of reviews, not the age of the wallet, that matters most---so by not mentioning time, we can now apply this warning even to older wallets. (I think one of the wallets mentioned in the OP said it was over a year old---yet I had never heard of it.) |

@harding Thanks! I think your version is indeed much better. |

There seems to be a few interesting wallets (Aegis, Breadwallet, Ciphrex) which may be good choices for the user. However, many of them have been released only more recently.
This pull request adds a "Transparency" score text which warns the user that such wallets still don't have a very long track record, in order to find a good compromise that would allow us to list them while being transparent about the few public testing / review these wallets may have received yet.
