Ask HN: Types of Communities? Open Source, Walled Garden, Blockchain, others?
I feel like all of these communities have their pros and cons.
Open source: free rider problem, devalues creators.
Walled garden: concentrated power.
Blockchain: experimental, doesn't fix concentration of power.
- sharemywin 9y agoI was thinking about some kind of digital asset co-op. Decision were distributed you could dervive/fork from existing work as well. No one person had complete access to all of the code, but enough people had access to keep things useful and competitive. - needs some kind of demand , new feature function. - needs some kind of way to determine contribution formula. - minimize rework and redundancy across co-op. - leave enough value on the table for continued investment(time and resources) - contracts(privacy,TOS etc) changes need to be voted on by users to change or forked with maintenance costs distributed accordingly. - some way to manage issues of resource abuse.
