You’re right!

So if someone is a troll you’ll see their transaction history of multiple blown up contracts and you’ll know to stay away
Not everyone is “rational” given the incentives, but you can choose who you play with based on how they’ve treated others
- beached_whale 5y agoThat provides another mechanism for abuse that cannot be fixed, or will not. Abuse via other’s id and they are left with the perpetual fallout
- chillfox 5y agoCan’t they just create multiple accounts?
- exdsq 5y agoYou can limit account creation with KYC and have a ratings system where you can choose who to do business with (taking less risk by staying with high-rated people etc)
- dvt 5y agoYou're just moving goalposts here. A distributed "ratings system" has the exact same problems: fixing ratings, spamming someone with fake ratings, etc.
- pmoncada 5y agoA rating system isn’t needed here. Just a history of transactions (% contracts successfully completed is a good metric) + Communities can decide who they let into these groups, or boot people who are multiple offenders So it’s not all anonymous trolls, there’s context around each person that allows you to filter who is a troll
- rnotaro 5y agoCan't you just game the metric and do transaction with yourself? (With other fake accounts)
- saurik 5y agoThat doesn't sound very decentralized at all, lol.
- exdsq 5y agoWhy not? These are researched areas in the field and people are finding solutions to things like decentralized identities, multi-chain ratings, etc...
- saurik 5y agoKYC != decentralized identities. I have never heard of anyone working on an actually-decentralized system capable of proving that you are Fred, as opposed to merely rate limiting the speed at which you can create accounts (which one might argue is sufficient, but isn't KYC). It might be that you are merely misusing the term, and meant something like sybil-resistant pseudonyms?

- aspenmayer 5y agoProjects like BrightID allow for rate limiting account creation through crowdsourcing real person verification.
- superfad 5y agoThat's where something like BrightID would help. https://www.brightid.org/ https://www.brightid.org/
