This seems far better than letting shady ICO's pay influencers to say shady things i rate....
But how would they do this? It is still possible to pay for an ICO to bribe a community with the right amount of money.
One of the best mission of menlo that people will really love is they make ICO a smooth and easy experience for eveyone. With this kind of system I think it is safe to say that we are in good hands.
I've had reasons to doubt it since "Menlo" wasn't familiar when its name surfaced, but I ended up liking its concept after checking out KoreanJew's interview with Menlo's founder. Now, there are 2 scenarios that come to mind; 1. A lot of people will flood in and embrace this unique platform and instantly change the way we approach all ICOs. 2. People remain skeptical since I heard being a contributor in their platform would mean spending some Eth to buy tokens and stuff.
Anyway, here's the video I watched for those who might be interested:
