Title: posibilities and limits of incentives structures
Post by: tipon on June 04, 2015, 06:19:11 pm
hi, im new with bitcoin and crypto stuff . Some days ago i saw a conference in the internet about block chain consensus algorithms where the speaker was talking about creating systems that align the incentives of the individuals with the outcomes of the whole system . He gave a lot of examples of actions that can be incentivized , these actions were actions performed with a computer (actions that can be easily trackable).
But what about other kind of actions not performed with a computer?
do you think its posible to create a system that  incentive other type of actions? do you know proyects related with this?

I was thinking for example the idea of creating a crypto currency that incentive to take care of nature? Do you think something like this is possible?

The way to do this is with scalable and actionable reputation, which BitShares is working on.

Once the platform for tracking it is in place, it can be used to build a reputation for any characteristic for which there's a market, which can be acted on by anyone who cares about that characteristic.

Hi Troglodactyl, can you recommend a paper, a web site or book that explains about scalable and actionable reputation?


cheers

BitShares really does seem to have the potential of becoming the backbone of the world economy. The amount of trade possible with these systems is mind blowing!

There will be prediction markets around reputation markets and reputation markets around private prediction markets!
