We've considered implementing this validation pool + forum structure as smart contracts.
|
|
However, we expect that such contracts would be expensive to run, because the recursive algorithm for distributing reputation via the forum will incur a lot of computation, consuming a lot of gas.
|
|
|
|
Can we bake this reputation algorithm into the core protocol of our blockchain?
|
|
|
|
The structure seems to be similar to proof-of-stake. A big difference is that what is staked and awarded is reputation rather than currency.
|
|
The idea with reputation is that it entitles you to a proportional share of revenue earned by the network.
|
|
So what does that look like in this context?
|
|
|
|
Let's say we are extending Ethereum. ETH would continue to be the currency that users must spend in order to execute transactions.
|
|
So when a user wants to execute a transaction, they must pay a fee.
|
|
A portion of this fee could then be distributed to reputation holders.

cardano -- "dynamic availability"?
|
|
staking pools -- does it make sense with reputation?
|
|
what about for governance voting --
|
|
do we want a representative republic or a democracy?
