What's new is that there's now a Trust System=20 that makes it necessary for new users to get Trust before they can get any=20 Prestige (but the Trust System is actually optional, it's intended to work=20 for distributed versions of the system). Also, the structure of the system=20 is more modular now, as I defined the Quantified Prestige Network as core=20 part of the system and the electronic currency gimmicks as external=20 applications which only need few data (Trust Levels and Prestige=20 Scores) from the Quantified Prestige Network. Another nice extra=20 application are Prestige Polls which work like usual polls but with votes=20 weighted with the Prestige Scores of the voters. The documentation is at http://radivis.com/public/quantifiedprestige002.pdf (= do=20 we have a central ZS cloud storage or something like that?). It's 37 pages=20 long, so only read the parts you are really interested in. As next step I'm planning to create a quite simple/minimal implementation=20 of a Quantified Prestige Network for ZS, so that we could test the system=20 in action. I don't think we need a Trust System right now, because we are=20 still a rather small group and it's only a test version of the system. In=20 this test version you can only allocate Esteem Points to other users. With=20 those Esteem Points the system can compute Prestige Scores for all users.=20 Users with lots of Prestige can then feel good about themselves. If that test is successful I would add more and more features to the=20 system, depending on the demand within ZS. We could have a ZS Bitcoin Fund=20 which is paid out to members with Prestige. Or we could implement a ZS=20 Fluido currency together with a basic income in that currency. Prestige=20 Polls are also an option. Finally, there's still lots of work to be done to find out how to make a=20 decent decentralized version of Quantified Prestige. I probably need a lot=20 of help in that area: How are decentralized systems "managed"? Who has the=20 authority to change the system parameters? Or is the only way to use other=20 parameters using a different version of the software? Anyway, I need feedback. If you have any idea how to do things better,=20 throw a suggestion into the room or to me. - Michael --=20 --=20 Zero State mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/DoctrineZero ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 Eugen* Leitl leitl http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com http://postbiota.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE --===============2358162504086468246==--
