Was it namecoin? I can't recall the name of the project but the idea was you mined (ala bitcoin) coins for your "name".. so if you had a year's worth of processing behind your name then you were an established identity vs someone with 0 seconds of processing.
- darkmighty 11y agoYea namecoin would work just fine. If the issue was authentication, even vanilla signatures (GPG) would be fine, but people want to associate identities with short names, so a name resolution system is needed.
- harigov 11y agoI like the idea. However, instead of using processing, it would be nice to use "activity" i.e., up votes, down votes, quality submissions and comments as the reputation. We already know what happens in a truly anonymous systems with no moderation - it doesn't make an ideal community.
- Leon 11y agoWouldn't that end up as the person with the most money has the biggest voice?
- zamalek 11y agoOnly if implemented that way. Intrinsically there is simply more certainty that they are who they say they are.
