One aspect that wouldn't eliminate the issue of "useless" or fake tx would be to have the liquidity aspect be a modifier where stakes being il-liquid devalue but over some threshold, the stake modifier is at a constant 1x.
Another potential mitigation tool would be to have the protocol look for tight tx loops (i.e. Naive liquidity falsifying) and either negate or reduce their influence on the liquidity calculation. Whether this is actually possible I have absolutely no idea. If I was to have any real trust in this idea I would have to look for/develop either formal proofs or some real demonstrable examples of it working.
Beyond that I think it boils down to game theory and economics. If it could work, it would likely require careful calibration to minimise the benefit of gaming the system or otherwise being a bad actor.
- __blockcipher__ 8y agoMy brain isn't working very well right now so I'm having trouble understanding what you're saying, but is what you're getting at similar to the metric of "coin days destroyed"? (ie if you send 5 BTC to address foo and those 5 BTC haven't been moved for 365 days then you've destroyed 365*5 coindays
- jacoblambda 8y agoMore or less ya that is about right. Now that would still only be part of the overall calculation as I think that assets such as loans and smart contracts should be considered in the calculation. The money from loans and such is in use by people on the network but its owner should still be able to claim it for staking purposes.
