We don't need an army, the way crypto currencies and DAC are designed, things will kind of sort out by themselves without violence.

Well, there's still the Genghis Khan issue, but it's conceivable that not all of the world's problems can be solved through clever coding.

My whole plan for this has been outlined here:

https://the-iland.net/default/index

Key components are:
1) Nonviolent / Voluntarist Society at all times
2) Injustice Insurance
3) Identity System (Keyhotee ID) backed by solid reputation system.
4) Coordinated Shunning motivated by the above.

There is a lot to read there, but it captures my ideas on the subject.   More to do once BitShares is complete :)

Injustice Sharing Fund

I like the idea but just like with health insurance it's hard to pull off pseudo anonymously because of the scamming and false accusations. Maybe some members of the community with have different reputations than others and with the badge system idea I proposed a while ago if there are law enforcement members of the community they could wear a badge to signify their association with law enforcement pseudo anonymously.

That could allow a person who is a victim of injustice to go to the right people for help.

None of this would be based upon being anonymous.  Justice depends upon being known and having a reputation.  The key is to set up the fund such that no laws are broken.

^^ Agreed, I question the premise that a military or militia would be necessary if DACs become the way the world operates.

While I disagree with his ideas and take an anti-violent stance I also take an anti-censorship stance. There should be a portion of the forum properly tagged for this kind of talk. This primarily because we know at some point these sorts of ideas are going to be discussed.

My opinion on it is that while the government isn't good at many things, when it comes to defense and war the government is the best at that particular business.

----------

I think what you're thinking of is a cyber militia. You're thinking about it in the context of a cyber war. I'm sure the three letter agencies around the world already have plans in place for that.

As far as law enforcement goes, that is not something which can be decentralized anytime soon. Checks and balances are necessary to prevent abuse. How would you prevent these tools from being misused to abuse innocent people without checks and balances?

For that reason I take on an anti-violence stance. There are no current checks and balances in the world where we already know who is in charge and there would similarly be no checks and balances when we don't know who is in charge.

Violence doesn't really benefit the people who want to live a long life or who want freedom in most cases. Perhaps there should be a clause put into the social contract which stipulates that all DACs which adhere to the social consensus will not promote or make use of physical violence, force, or coercion? Because in my opinion opening the door to violence would invite it right back.
I have no problem having this removed.

As a hardcore NAPer my goal was to brainstorm defense against aggressors, not aggression.

I wanted to see how it could be done.

Does anyone have ideas regarding a defense DAC?
Like a police DAC.
A "don't rape me, beat me or home invade me" DAC.

I'm looking for brainstormers here!
If your goal really is defense against aggressors the best defense against aggressors is evidence provided by sousveillance. Secrecy allows aggressors to get away with abusing innocent people, break laws, and more. Surveillance is a tool of hierarchy to protect those at the top from those at the bottom while souseveillance is a tool of heterarchy to protect those at the bottom "the little guy" from those at the top.

The Rodney King beating was filmed and police brutally was caught on tape. That was sousveillance. The ability to pseudo-anonymously exchange information means that evidence of corruption or of a crime can captured and distributed. The same laws which are used to enforce on the little guy can take down the big guy if the right law enforcement agent receives the evidence.

I think if information flows freely, it will become more difficult for those with power and authority to abuse that power and authority. Violence isn't really necessary to get a person fired or arrested for a crime, if in fact a crime has been committed. A jury is the only way to evaluate the evidence to determine if that was the case, and the evidence has to be collected by detectives and people trained to make those kinds of cases.

Yes, I do... but it looks like my website is currently down due to Keyhotee downloads... will post more info when server recovers.

I think we should be clear about what we want. The discussion of prediction markets is very interesting and our technology is enabling others to build products which can do this. I am all about free speech. Nobody is being aggressive towards anybody. I hope we are all agreeing to be responsible to discuss these issues.

I think you should add a forum rule like "No posts promoting aggression, use of force, or violence" or something
Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

A dead pool or a prediction market on life expectancy is not quite the same as what a militia would do. A militia could partially serve to protect a community or some private assets. How is this accomplished by a dead pool?

I would like to remove this thread from the forum as it promotes aggression, the opposite of what a DAC should do.  Lets find non-violent ways of resolving these issues.

How do you prevent individual soldiers from going rouge? How do you make sure that the general is held accountable, without the government being able to know his soldiers movements? On the one hand, this sounds ridiculous, on the other hand, if somebody worked out the technical aspect of it, it just might work

This is the same consciousness that leads to centralization and is what we are fighting against.   That said, DACs need to focus on results and not the means.  This means that a DAC that created a prediction market on how many days someone has left to live would accomplish the same goal while also serving as a kind of life-insurance DAC.   Such a DAC would of course be used to justify shutting down the entire industry.

Far better to have organized shunning of those in power, cut them off from markets.  Long before we have satellites in the air powered by DACs the nation state will be much smaller than it is today.
