[ANN] ICOprice ALPHA. Minimal website about every ICO price

[ayro]

http://icoprice.com
Hey guys it’s ayro.
I’m a proud member of the waves community, and I decided to build this webapp after seeing a lot of searches and topics here on bitcointalk asking for “ICO price”.

A quick intro: WHAT is ICOprice and HOW it works.
ICO price is a new site that you open up when you want to check what was the ico price of a specific crypto token.
Or, you can simply call it the coinmarketcap for every ico price 😉
I’m releasing it today as an alpha MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
What is an ICO?
It’s just like an IPO (Initial Public Offering) but it’s for Crypto coins (Initial Coin Offering).
ICO Price list



These are the data you can get at a glance on ICOprice:
- ICOprice (duh!), which is actually a weighted average
- current price (self explanatory)
- ROI: Return on Icoprice aka how many times that token grew in price since the end of the ICO
- Then, we have the ICO platform column.
Don’t overlook it.
I’m sure you are familiar with network effect. Well, ICOs of tokens created on a platform tend to perform better and better in terms of total received funding as the network of that platform expands.
Currently the biggest ICO platforms are: Ethereum (even though its core function is complex smart contracts) and the newer Waves (which was created from the ground up with ICOs in mind, it’s much easier to run an all-decentralized ICO). This May, the number of Waves big ICOs has been on par with Ethereum ICOs, with Mobilego being the largest ICO ever (surpassing Ethereum itself).


Notes:
Updated every 5 minutes.
Uses Coinmarketcap API.
ICO price = Weighted average price from the start to the end of ICO
ROI (Return on ICOprice) = Current Price / ICO Price
Criteria for a coin to be added:
Must be traded on a public exchange that is older than 30 days and with an API available.
If a coin is delisted on coinmarketcap, is delisted also on ICOprice.


ICO Intelligence
If you click on a token name, you go to the token page. There you can get more juicy, detailed info about how the ico went.

Social ranking

Tokens in the  default view are not ranked by ROI, but by social ranking

Social ranking is powered by a waves token called Starrie, + a ranking algorithm.
Basically, ICOprice counts how many starrie each entity (Waves, Ethereum, Aragon, Chronobank…) receives, then the algorithm takes into account other factors, and finally reorders the list.
Reputation is always fresh (last 30 days).

When you give a starrie, you should detach yourself from the price, and think about the fundamentals, the core team, the third party devs, the execution, the long term potential.
Keep in mind: behind every project there is a group of real, breathing people.




How to vote for a token on ICOprice
- Check the first column. If you check the first column of the table (works only on desktop for now, responsive version is up coming)
there is an empty tiny star
- Click the empty tiny star

- Follow the instructions in the popup (get starrie
Warning: in this alpha stage I’m testing the system with a free starrietest token. Just reply to this topic with your waves address to get some starrietest
- send a starrie to the icoprice address
- Type the token name (eg.  “Waves” or “Ethereum”) in the attachment field
- Send.. you are done!

Now, the transaction is sent to the waves blockchain ICOprice checks on wavesgo.com


all the incoming transaction to the icoprice address


icoprice counts all the starrie received by every single token
These numbers go through the algorithm


… and ultimately, it orders the list based on how many starrie each token receceived and other factors.





Levels
Levels of different colors represent the level of reputation an entity has EARNED
Reputation is not just the total number of received starrie, but an algorithm takes into account different ranking factors.

I’m currently adjusting the colors to match specific conditions.


Waves free packs

I want to introduce more and more users to the waves platform. That’s why I created what I call “free packs”.
These free packs consist in a buch of waves tokens:
- Waves
- Wavescommunity
- Wavesgo
- Incent
- Riptobux

ICOprice will distribute its entire donations budget to icoprice best new users. You need to download Waveslite for google chrome in order to receive the rewards.







Feel free to post Feedback/suggestions here on bitcointalk.

In the last few months, I found myself searching for [token name here] ICO price.
Like.. a lot.
And I was not alone.
In every crypto slack, or telegram group that’s a recurring question.



There’s one simple reason why we search for “ICO price”. We look for untapped potential, and ask ourself if it is too late to get on that boat.
Or not.
Where do you get that info? What do you see in the Google SERP?
There is no clear winner.
Sometimes is slack community members (hola yoyoamigo! hey ripto! Hey wolf! …no marousi, not you 😏 )
Sometimes is reddit, or ICO tracking sites but… frankly, they tend to overcomplicate things.
I wanted something as immediate as coinmarketcap.
The faster you give me the info I was looking for, the more likely I will come back over and over.

I saw an opportunity in capturing this natural traffic and delivering the data crypto ethusiast are looking for.

I had to build it, and the name was obvious: ICOprice.
I think there is still space for something like ICOprice.
Especially for something with a minimal user experience in mind-

Now, be warnerd: I’m releasing it unfinished, it’ a scrappy alpha version (I worked on it in the last 10 days)
I’m sure you will find so many broken things and I need your help and suggestions… keep in mind my minimal direction though 🙂

Feel free to post Feedback/suggestions on bitcointalk>.
Share share share with your crypto friends, on reddit and everywhere else. Thank you

To Fix:
- Listing more ICO prices.
- Loading time (Pagespeed Insights)
- Consider outputting ROI % instead o ROIx (eg 10,000% instead of 10x)
- Roi sorting is broken

Listing criteria:
basically we will list every ico ever done... we leave out failed icos and 100% proved scams

Next adds will be:

- NXT
- ARDOR
-

Roadmap
- Add liquidity monocolor  “Glass icons” near the ROI, using trex and polo APIs for total buy orders calculation (thanks to 3-ide-raven for the ideas and inspiration!)  JULY
- Add BTC as base currency JUNE
- Better algo to calculate averages JUNE
- Proper responsiveness and  complete redesign JUNE
- initial funding goal and how many times was overfunded (kickstarter's like) JUNE
- Automate the Ranking social feature powered by Waves (Wisdom of the crowd) JULY
- Partner with cryptoping for sudden buy orders increase alerts service AUGUST



This roadmap is subject to changes and delays See ICOPRICE live Trello Roadmap

ICOprice bounty campaign.
We are partnering with BOUNTY for our campaign, so it becomes easy manageable for both me and all of you receiving $BNTY
I’m super early, I think ICOprice is the first project to adopt bountyrewards
 as a tech partner.
I’m so early that… for the first few weeks, we will manage the campaign manually, before BOUNTY does its ICO.
If you want to contribute, just reply to this announcement and reserve the bounties. I read and reply to every single post!

I will have all your contributions in a spreadshit and distribute the tokens on ICO day.
Ico price of Bounty will be around 5 cents usd.

Twitter follow with Notifications ON: 100 BNTY
Newsletter subscription:
Alerts subscription:
Security bugs: 1000 BNTY each
Proofreading: 100 BNTY per paragraph
Create a structure for token Pages:1000 BNTY
Completing a token Page with data (eg Waves, ethereum…): 200 BNTY
Redesign: 20000 BNTY
Algo to calculate ICO price weighted averages: 5000 BNTY






If you love the project but you don’t have time or skills to contribute…
I need funding to release bounties to contributors and free wavespacks to icoprice users.

Great work, I'm always wondering the ICO prices, glad to see someone make this.

Can't go wrong on the Waves platform!

I like the concept just have a couple of ideas to share (forgive me if they are stupid!), maybe for some next beta release:

- ICO price is useful but in comparison to what? You should have max-min price after ICO and somehow get in the numbers the total amount of coins to be issued. this will suggest whether the ICO price was more or less than the "fair" price of the project, which at the end gives a more accurate image whether it is an opportunity project or not.
- another valuable info is how much the project managed to get compared to what it asked. this could reflect again the robustness of the project and thus the opportunity it could present.

[ayro]

thank you @usukan ! I'm new here and I couldn't  show the magnificence of that pic

[Crypto57394]

Would be great if there was a column for the date/date range of the ico and also the price in btc

Thank you! Actually this is the exact direction I want to take with "Token Pages". If you click on a token name you will se a graph called "Ico intelligence". You can see who many people have invested at what price. Currently it's just placeholder data,
of course supply and received funding are important... you can then see if there is a growth opportunity or not

- another valuable info is how much the project managed to get compared to what it asked. this could reflect again the robustness of the project and thus the opportunity it could present.

Oh, I didn't think about it.. so this is like kickstarter's data on received funding. This is important. added to the features list

This will be a very handy resource - great idea ayro



only one other feature that would be useful

I'm always comparing ICO price to BOTH - BTC and USD

its often a very interesting exercise

Do you plan to integrate this ability?

Thank you so much for the encouragement... feels amazing!

Yeah yeah "Add BTC as base currency" is in the roadmap!

Great news ! I hope the best for your project on WAVES platform

Thank you!

Move this to the ann section.

[ayro]

Move this to the ann section.

I thought this was the most appropriate just because I found coinmarketcap here. 
I'm new here and I don't know if a mod can move it 

[ayro]

Following the suggestions by the community I'm starting a redesign revamp of icoprice!



Changelog:
- liquidity methaphor (Sum of the buy orders through tree + polo API)
- using waves and ehtereum icons as metaphors for the platform where the ICO ran on
- better, more obvious display of levels
- base currency toggles

[ayro]

Here's how Token pages will look like on mobile (above the fold)



ICO details and graphs will follow below this view

[ayro]

Next adds will be:

- NXT
- ARDOR
(to calculate the real NXT ICO ROI you have to count NXT+ARDOR alone as the _ICO&hold_ would yield both tokens.)

thanks to @bcdev


Let me know about your favourite ico tokens, I will add them.
I want to ear from the community.
If no one cares, maybe it's just wasted bits & pixels
