- Tinyyy 9y agoWell it’s hard to be negatively exposed to crypto so the discussion will be biased.
- osteele 9y agoYou can short crypto on Cboe and CME. A few minutes on the internet will reveal other means for shorting crypto.
- douglaswlance 9y agoWith a methodology for generating consensus...
- desireco42 9y agoExcellent, and we need to release the token that you will get based on PoE.
- ty_a 9y agoMaybe you could count number of Ph.D contributors? I bet Bitcoin has as many or more than every other project combined.
- IncRnd 9y agoWhy do you believe that?
- kirillseva 9y agoIOTA has a lot of PhD contributors, allegedly
- infowl 9y agoCitation needed. Appeal to authority, with no evidence of competency.
- osteele 9y agoLike Math CAPTCHA, only deeper and with more subject matter versions? One of the math forums (Cut the Knot?) had something like this, that actually required (I think) calculus. Reputation systems such as HN itself are another approach. These might not scale; or they might require an eigentrust-like system to scale; or scaling via eigentrust might create and reinforce the same kind of filter bubbles we see on social media. Who decides who’s a climate expert? Steemit is an attempt at a blockchain-based reputation system. Whenever I’ve looked, it’s been dominated by low-quality content, mostly about crypto itself. Maybe this is growing pains, or maybe a reputation system needs a different go-to-market (that bootstraps from an existing platform or community), or maybe wedding reputation to crypto — or at least to crypto that pays out — just isn’t a good idea. (You didn’t exactly suggest that, either; I just riffed my way over to it.)
- simcop2387 9y agoAs for a math captcha, http://random.irb.hr/signup.php http://random.irb.hr/signup.php sometimes it'll be simple arithmatic, other times multi-variable calculus.
- vinniejames 9y agoLike Stack overflow?
- verylittlemeat 9y agoThis idea was what lead to the split up of Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on Wikipedia. Sanger went and created Citizendium which was supposed to be wikipedia with only credentialed authors and a panel of peer review. By all accounts Citizendium failed pretty spectacularly.
