Does it affect value? 10:15 < dasunt> Maybe. I believe the proposal I read had the ability to "taint" coins with a bad reputation. Mind you, in the cryptocurrency universe, a reputation may be different to society at large - e.g. a contraband dealer may have a good reputation if they reliably deliver contraband after payment. 10:17 < dasunt> Alternatively, one could attach reputations to wallets. 10:18 -!- klixa [~klixa@unaffiliated/klixa] has joined #se2600 10:18 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o klixa] by ChanServ 10:18 <@jb7od> I guess the customer gets the ability to tell on the frontend how likely it is that their contraband will arrive on time and correctly? 10:18 <@oddball> Reputation based systems only work if everyone is working in good faith. Think about a reputation system once SJWs get involved. 10:19 < dasunt> jb7od: The coin-taint proposal had something like outstanding reputation liens on the coins. So Alice gives Bob a coin with a reputation lien. Bob fulfills whatever task Alice just paid him for. Alice cancels the lien. 10:19 <@oddball> Or just look at some book reviews on Amazon of "the wrong kind" of authors. 10:20 <@jb7od> Maybe it's like bankruptcy and when you're married your spouse can develop a cocaine and porn problem and take your money reputation down to one star 10:21 <@jb7od> so you have to put a $200 downpayment on a candy bar and they hold ten days. 10:22 < dasunt> oddball: Society has functioned with such social shaming for thousands of years. It's only recently that the population has been large enough and mobile enough that we've been able to become effectively anonymous. Now technology (for good or bad) is bringing us back to all the joys of living in a tiny village. It's just that instead of the nearest farmer deciding not to do business with you because he doesn't like you, we dox your employer because of some 10:23 < dasunt> So a reputation system, even when used as a club to support individuals various biases, should still work. 10:24 <@oddball> The thing is that social shaming everyone that doesn't line up to exactly your ideas could lead to you being tossed out of the village in the past. 10:25 <@oddball> There were consequences to spreading shit where it shouldn't be spread. 10:25 <@jb7od> I suppose that's right. A currency change wouldn't affect the aggregate bigotry level anywhere. 10:25 -!- rattle [041c8581@tor/regular/rattle] has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 10:26 < dasunt> oddball: Oh I agree, but most of society is fine with that to some degree. 10:27 <@jb7od> I've seen a lot of situations with folks I've known who've ebayed before, who for whatever reason, sold something to someone who was an unreasonable asshole and dented up the reputation of an innocent. 10:28 < dasunt> jb7od: That's one of the problems I ran into when thinking about reputation. When Alice is trying to build reputation, how do you design it so that Bob can't pose as a purchaser and then blackmail Alice in exchange for a good reputation? 10:28 <@oddball> Or, at least, people would know to put less weight in a certain asshat's oppinion. 10:29 < dasunt> Alternatively, how can you prevent people from selling reputation? Alice pays Bob for a good reputation by giving him a coin. 10:32 < dasunt> Or does that matter? Could you design a system where the benefit of the increased reputation is less than the value of a transaction? If so, can you engineer it against attacks where Alice and Bob trade a coin back and forth, increasing each other's reputation? 10:33 < _NSAKEY> This sounds like something that could be fixed on an ad hoc basis with assassination markets. 10:34 <@oddball> heh 10:34 < dasunt> _NSAKEY: Don't be so extreme - a simple kneecapping market would probably work just as effectively. :p 10:34 < _NSAKEY> dasunt: But then they can still type bullshit. 10:35 < dasunt> True.

Apart from the bigotry factor, there needs to be some accomidation for the common troll. 10:47 < dasunt> It may also need to be resistant to state attacks. 10:49 <@jb7od> State meaning government infuence over the rating? Like "Everybody in Pakistan gets a 0 because fuck Pakistan!" 10:59 < _NSAKEY> You would also need to figure out a way to keep the Chinese from monopolizing it like they did with bitcoin's blockchain. 11:00 < _NSAKEY> That solution probably shouldn't be left to what amounts to assassination or terrorism. 11:40 < dasunt> It's an interesting problem, isn't it? 11:45 < dasunt> http://www.sdcexec.com/news/12184082/crude-mystery-where-did-800000-barrels-of-oil-go <- Last year, about 800,000 barrels of oil a day disappeared from the global accounting of oil. 11:45 < PigBot> Title: Crude Mystery: Where Did 800,000 Barrels of Oil Go?
