Why is it that people who come up with these thought experiments can never resist talking about their beliefs?
Do you have a plan of implementation? A seed network to beat the cold start problem? An actual, non-exploitable prototype for aiding discovery? A way to demonstrate trustworthiness? Survey results to show enough people willing to cook in order to provide sufficient supply to meet demand?
Or is this just a pipe dream?

- saraid216 13y agoIt's called refusing to face reality. Preaching sermons doesn't change the world. Make. A. Prototype. You know what's awesome about Bitcoin? I'm not a Bitcoin fan. I think it's silly, though I admittedly don't have the chops to properly evaluate it. But you know what I can't help but respect about it? It exists. It's in the wild. It's real. No matter what wankery I choose to criticize it with, I have to square that with the actual effects it's producing. No plan survives contact with reality. You cannot anticipate everything. This is goddamn Hacker News. Make a prototype.
- teawithcarl 13y agoI've built code and companies, and needn't a lecture from you on how to build, nor how to dream.
