This kind of idea is actually a great use case vor virtual currencies and a market, because the given AND received value can come from a human. I once wanted to build something similar for project feedback only, but the core idea is the same.
A potential problem I see with simple question/answer systems like this is, are questions about truth. Paying to get more answers only forms a majority opinion, not truth. Collaboratively working on an argument graph could be useful in this situation.
Did you do anything to prevent sybil attacks in your voting system?
Btw, Show HN is meant for projects you can already try, not just for waiting lists.
I still signed up and want to see how it works :)
- luisamodio 5y agoHello! You do have a point about majority of opinion not necessarily being the truth. The way we see this is, when someone looks for feedback or needs to make a decision, having a diverse pool of unbiased information increases the chances of having a better understanding of the truth. Thus potentially making a petter decision. As for Sybil attacks, it will be virtually impossible to influence and target a particular question as each user is not open to choose which question to match. Throw does the thrower/catchers matching using a dynamic algorithm with many variables to determine the best matches. So we are expecting certain users to try to use several accounts to try to go around the system and we’re prepared for that. I really appreciate your candid feedback and am really hoping you love it once it’s out there!
