This is a nice idea, but F for every coin asides Bitcoin for technical development seems...suspect (D- for Ethereum I'm counting as basically an F by your ratings)

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!
