Wed May 07 13:40:36 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> <DinoSaw> people's influence should rise and fall in accordance with their reputation, based on their recent actions
Wed May 07 13:39:15 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> well, I was discussing the failings of democracy elsewhere as it's SA election day today
Wed May 07 13:38:54 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> HeySteve people.
Wed May 07 13:38:37 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> mircea_popescu, in theory but in practical usage today, it's mostly for the Bitcoin community
Wed May 07 13:38:09 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> HeySteve not that narrow. the wot holds all trust in human society. all of it.
Wed May 07 13:37:34 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> perhaps Bitcoin trade, no S would have been nearer the mark
Wed May 07 13:37:11 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> HeySteve i think you misconstrue the scope of the wot.
Wed May 07 13:36:46 UTC 2014 <Apocalyptic> mircea, <HeySteve> another issue I forsee with rating of unregistered parties, is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades. people will use it to downrate TV characters from soap operas
Wed May 07 13:36:38 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> Apocalyptic, fair enough it's a fuzzier boundary
Wed May 07 13:35:31 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> yes, but what's the specific objection?
Wed May 07 13:34:50 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> ThickAsThieves, what if to send Bitcoin to a WoT-registered party cost less in transaction fees than sending it to someone unregistered?
Wed May 07 13:31:07 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> trusted nodes are appointed that can do things like register placeholder identities
Wed May 07 13:30:38 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> I'm thinking there's a whole raft of WoT-related improvements only possible with some degree of hierarchial organisation
Wed May 07 13:29:47 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> another issue I forsee with rating of unregistered parties, is people extending the scope of the WoT beyond its intended purpose of recording Bitcoin trades. people will use it to downrate TV characters from soap operas
Wed May 07 13:26:37 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> the question then becomes who would hold the keys to the placeholder identity? seeing as that identity will also be able to rate people. so what happens if "PayPal" downvotes you?
Wed May 07 13:25:36 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> fluffypony, ok sure, just clarifying your meaning
Wed May 07 13:25:18 UTC 2014 <fluffypony> HeySteve: identity != real name
Wed May 07 13:25:06 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> <+fluffypony> an alias is irrelevant unless it links to an identity <- I disagree. someone doesn't have to know your real name to trade with you based on ratings
Wed May 07 13:23:11 UTC 2014 <HeySteve> it may be best to think of them as placeholder ratings which the entities can later assume once validated
Wed May 07 13:22:43 UTC 2014 <ThickAsThieves> HeySteve, megacorps arent good examples
