DACs could be evaluated by,
0. Graph of Popularity
1. Ease and Cost of Implementation
2. Graph of Potential Market Cap
..
..
3. Profitability / business model
My evaluation of DACs starts with:
1) Business Model
- all dacs have one primary business model, transactions
- so a business model is really a set of transactions supported
2) Profitability (same business model can have different levels of profit)
3) Security Model (POW vs POS vs Consensus)
4) Scalability
5) Economic Principles
- free market, socialist, anti-hoarding, voting
Then there is the tools available to DACs:
1) Market Mechanisms (prediction markets and trading algorithms)
2) Auctions
3) Issuing Shares
4) Dividends
5) Nash Equilibrium
6) Multisig
7) Swaps
Options
9) Interest
