It's decided by the owner of the word
- ssalka 8y agoIMO that's a really poor strategy. Assuming people use this product, it will alienate anyone who comes later on after all common words have been bought up (or even the owner of a word who would like to use it for two different meanings). More generally, it's an inaccurate model of language, because it assumes that every word has a single definition - categorically false.
- magnamerc 8y agoI'm all for people building dapps, but like you I fail to see the utility in this.
- ssalka 8y agoI think there could be great utility for a dapp like this, if it was architected differently under more generalized assumptions.
- magnamerc 8y agoI know this was a few days ago, but I'm curious, what utility do you see for this dapp? I'm trying to wrap my head around the economics. Will properly defined words be more valuable?
- ssalka 7y agoPersonally, I could see the words being used as building blocks for semantic programs, eg public APIs or smart contracts, or maybe even formal documents (real estate, law, etc). But that kinda only works when you can properly disambiguate words.
- marcosdumay 8y agoIt's hard to be sure wether language like the used on this site is a joke or not. But the one thing I really hope is that people will not overwhelming use this product.
