This would be a powerful DAC, that could have huge potential if done right. You should have feedback from people who have taken classes with various teachers, that way people can see how good they are at their skills. One idea which has been central to Bitcoin is the idea that the system is trustworthy because you don't have to trust any individual, just the whole system. Here, you don't have that, since you have to trust the teacher. However, if you were able to have feedback and references accessible to everyone, then you could spread the trust out a bit more.

Yeah totally. The community should be able to comment on and rate the teachers, people should be able to judge the rater's rating's based on their keyhotee identity as well to limit sock puppets and those up to no good. As people start to form communities, be it local or online, they could start to organize into loosely formed schools with parameters and funding laid out by the community in code. People could collectively express demand for what they wanted to learn. Education could become this liquid thing that could adapts to our needs. People could be paid based on their value to the community. Finally teachers could be paid what they are worth.

pls don't overclock your developers

Is the Keyhotee project  still on track and to go live on New Years? Haven't been updated much about the progress of Keyhotee in the last few weeks.

We have a team of developers working on it intensely.  To accelerate things we have been feeding them liquid pizza at 78 degrees C with Mountain Dew delivered intravenously at 30 PSI.

I recently came up with another system that could work, though I am not fully sold on it.

What if the share holders elected people who would sign blocks?   You vote for the signers with CDD. When they sign they spend the CDD they accumulated from people voting for them.  No one would be allowed to sign more than 1 in 100 blocks. 

This plan has many potential problems, but I thought I would add it to the idea pool.

Angel Miners - An Environmentally Friendly Solution

in·cin·er·a·tor  (n-sn-rtr)  n.
… an apparatus, such as a furnace, for burning waste.

Remember the incinerator?  Every big box store used to have one for burning empty cardboard shipping boxes.  Now-a-days that would be considered “environmentally unfriendly”.  You’re supposed to recycle, don’t you know?  Its good for the ecosystem.

I think its time we talked about environmentally friendly crypto-equity mining.  At this very moment most ProtoShares are being mined by sending money to outside companies to be burned up in high-tech incinerators.

Amazon rents them, for example.  You send Amazon your money once a month.  They burn it up in their incinerators and then send you ProtoShares proportional to the amount of money they burned up for you.  They have all kinds of incinerators to choose from if you care about how they burn your money.  They have CPU incinerators and GPU incinerators and if you want, someone will burn your money up on a high-powered ASIC incinerator.  New incinerators are being developed every day.  Most people don’t care how their money is burned up, as long as they get their expected number of shares.

Invictus is researching a new kind of environmentally friendly incinerator replacement that we could make available to the crypto-equity community for any new DAC developer to use.  We call them “Angel Miners”.  As a black box, they work the same as all the others.  You send money to the incinerator operator and get back DACshares.  The difference is in how this incinerator disposes of your money.  Instead of burning it up and blowing the heat up a chimney, the money gets recycled into the ecosystem!

Yes, you heard that right, your money gets recycled into the ecosystem!

Its used for developing better wallets, and new kinds of DACs, and browsers, and tools.  It goes for support hot-lines, and better documentation, and promotional videos, and maybe even Super Bowl ads.  All things that grow the ecosystem and increase the value of all its crypto-equities.

Most people don’t care what kind of incinerator Amazon uses.  Now you have an environmentally responsible reason to choose!

DAC developers should clearly state in their promotional literature whether your mining software is eco-friendly or not.  Going green could make a difference in how the community embraces your product!

I get where your coming from Stan, if we are going to get external DAC developers to give us a piece of their pie. Then as a community we are going to have to offer solid economic reasons for doing this. Maybe its worth starting a thread on that subject? Ive been giving it some thought my self. I came to the conclusion that we need to see a DAC (dacling) in operation to learn what support it will need and if a ready made community gives that support in a sufficiently better way than a new community based around a go it alone DAC.
