I plan to invest in one or two project, i currently do my own research, it is not easy, to find good project, although i do not trust ICO rating websites and do not like to use it but, i think i may need to have a look inside, a time ago i was frequently check ICObench, but now i believe icobench only care about money.
I don't have a list to share it with you, but i want to make a list according to your positive feedback from you.
This may help anyone with the research.
Forget whatever site that anyone would shill to you, Icobenchmarket use to be the best but I agree with you that they have compromised already and all they are after now is the rating money which they even go to the extent of paying for reviews from people. So to get a true rating site now is difficult, and you are still the best bet to rating a project yourself, those who are behind those rating site are also like you.
Let me give you an illustration, what if you decide to wake up one day and think of going into rating business also, would you wait for people to do it for you, think deep on how you would go about it genuinely, and whatever method you fee can work is the same that will work for you now that you need the rating personally for yourself.
