This is awesome, we are now entering ancient Egyptian style history depth for some of the other regions of Africa and I love it.


Need stable electricity in most of the countries


And infrastructure in general. And for that: governmental stability and continuity. Nobody wants to invest into building infrastructure when they can't be reasonably sure that they can still work there in five years.


This probably won’t age well


Its looking more like end of August right now but not set in stone. Thanks for your feedback an glad you like the site!


Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the ratings came out a bit tough on a lot of coins.... mainly due to the best coins in the category doing just so well with much better stats. All are graded by an algorithm so just some cold numbers... pretty telling...


You need to scale your numbers with a logarithm or Laplace smoothing or similar. When your measuring quantities that follow power laws, using a linear scale or any linear combination will just give nonsensical answers.


Whats interesting is that they are already scaled logarithmically and normalized.. just there are clear as day differences between the currencies when it comes to their git stats. Especially when going across 600+ of them, I will look into laplace smoothing... seems interesting, or maybe the letter grading system may be too harsh? valuable feedback!


So made some tweaks to the algorithm with some laplace smoothing and some additional normalization functions... looks better!
