The third line on this has had me puzzled all day. Yes, if you measure decentralization one way, a 20 node PBFT network is more decentralized than 16 mining pools. However, new pools can compete & enter without permission, whereas adding a new member of a federation is hard.

As a former online game designer, and participatory event designer, when working with people I use mechanism designs focused on intrinsic rewards as opposed to extrinsic ones (aka tokens) as once payment is involved you often get paradoxically bad results: http://webshare.northseattle.edu/fam180/topics/praise-rewards/problems.htm

I really admire the @maxgladstone’s Craft Sequence. High fantasy as it might be projected from our multicultural medieval past to a very different future. God’s & magic as a science. Not science fiction at all, but oddly is speculative fiction. 👍👍 https://twitter.com/mxpalmieri/status/979346764854710273

Remember, you don’t own your domains! “the European Commission announced it will cancel all 300,000 domains under the .eu top-level domain that have a UK registrant, following Britain’s eventual departure from the European Union” https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/03/29/eu_dumps_300000_ukowned_domains_into_brexit_bin/

Evidence says $10 a year for domains, but they are rented not owned, and easily taken away.

I don’t know enough about this sub-field to evaluate this paper, but if it works, it means an instant run-off election can happen without a trusted third party (i.e. distributed computation), and anyone can validate and thus prove the election was properly counted.

This is an important point that most of my well-meaning peers don’t understand. Rational rhetoric & literacy does not affect social change against those that use our innate cognitive biases against us. I taught this in 2009 in a Sustainable MBA course, and it is still true today. https://twitter.com/h0d3r/status/980197181473935361
