I want to share how any ICO could gain best rates on one of the most popular ICO listing site: Icobench.
The icobench rate is calculated based on two main parts:
a) benchy robot (bot)
b) experts evaluations
1) The main share of total rate is provided by a Benchy robot which automatically tracks ICO medium channels performance. ICO could easily deceive this robot by just posting every 4 hours (during 24 hours) any (no matter what quality) posts on its medium, facebook, twitter, telegram and bitcointalk channels.
2) ICO can buy for 1-3 ETH the opinions of high rang experts. These 'experts' will give 5-5-5 evaluation even not reading the WP.
Often, these 'experts', intentionally rate your project with poor rates so that you contact them in linked directly and offer a bribe.
So, when you learn how Icobench is working you will never trust its rates
so far I have not found what you have said, icobench in my opinion this site is very helpful for the investor community to find ico who has quality, but after I read your post I will learn icobench again
Bunch of scam icos have already listed on ico bench and it's such a horrible ico rating site. they are paying the site to get listed on there and make fake review and rating about their icos. This has already happened in so many times.
It's not based on the community's choice and that's why this site is lack of transparency.
