Seems like a pretty great way to remove the middleman from populist infotainment consumption. Can't be worse than what we already have and by making it explicitly richest party wins it makes the process more transparent. It might not be the Truth but at least it is Honest.
- yinyinwu 8y agoThanks for the comment! Transparency would be the third benefit. With the blockchain, you can see the entire history of votes. Every transaction is recorded. Today, if a website accepts bribes for reviews, visitors to the site do not know that this happened. With DIRT, if a wealthy token holder had a lot of tokens and tries to throw a vote, you can see the attack happening.
- procedural_love 8y agoHow do you associate a token holder with an actual person or organization? Is there a method for doing this built into the protocol, or would that be a responsibility for the implementer? I agree that transparency could be a great benefit of this technology, but if a "wealthy token holder" can create several puppet accounts with their own tokens, throwing a vote can be made to look "organic". Does DIRT do anything to prevent this? (Thanks btw, it's great to see you active in the comments.)
- DelightOne 8y ago> Can't be worse than what we already have Please proof. Otherwise good irony.
- sometimesijust 8y agoIf only there was some kind of formal protocol that could incentivise the substantiation of such claims. Alas.
