Reputation

Solving the Tragedy of the Commons problem in a decentralized system is challenging, especially when there’s no central authority to enforce rules, restrict usage, or punish individuals who misuse resources. In traditional environments, people usually need to provide something of value—whether it's money, time, or effort—in exchange for access to shared resources. This creates a natural check on overuse. However, in decentralized systems like Nostr, where there’s a desire to keep things open and accessible to all, implementing a payment-based solution can be problematic. Such solutions are often unpopular because they exclude those without the means to pay, which runs counter to the ethos of inclusivity.

But there's one resource everyone possesses that could be used as a stake: reputation. The idea is that access to resources can be tied to the reputation of the user. A good reputation allows greater access to shared resources, while a low reputation might limit one's ability to access these resources freely. Reputation acts as a form of currency within the system, but with a key difference—it’s earned through consistent, positive behavior over time, and can be lost quickly if one abuses the system. This asymmetry—where building reputation takes time and effort, but losing it can happen swiftly—creates a strong incentive for users to act responsibly. By linking resource access to reputation, the system can encourage sustainable usage without needing a central authority to enforce rules.

In essence, this approach leverages the natural human desire to maintain a good standing within a community. When users know that their actions directly impact their reputation, and by extension, their ability to access resources, they’re more likely to avoid behavior that would harm the network as a whole. This could be a powerful way to address the Tragedy of the Commons in decentralized systems, ensuring that the community self-regulates and preserves the integrity of shared resources.

I feel like most people on Nostr are of the AOL dialup generation. The good ol days of AIM, MSN messenger, yahoo chat

That would put most of us at 30+ years old. How old are you?

The reason to go all in on #Bitcoin is not to get filthy rich.

The reason to go all in on Bitcoin is to not get poor and to get your freedom back.

20 seconds on X and I see this:

It's a race baiting divide and conquer circus over there.

Yes. In 15 years though, a $10 utxo might be completely uneconomic, if it costs more than $10 in fees to ever spend it.

Bitcoin fees effectively depend on how many inputs there are**. Each utxo being spent is an input.

** outputs cost too; it's basically the total amounts of data, in bytes, that you're paying for.

The reason why base layer bitcoin is such a small, constrained database system is because it, uniquely, requires *every* participant to know and verify *everything*, so you can't split up workload.

This image terrifies me.

In one glance it explains how even the most intelligent, trustworthy, honest humans are completely deranged.

How does this work

I’m new. What do I do here

This is the place to be.

How do I get a checkmark

I just hope Trump's high yield DeFi thing doesn't become the Terra Luna of 2025.

For the Trump team's sake, they'd better win the election or they're likely to have the SEC all over them.

Has anyone gotten nutsack dot me to work?

** this is about e-cash, and is a sfw note

Just had a 1hr 15min scrum standup meeting where I had to repeat myself at least 3x times explaining every ticket to a bunch of ppl with the memory of goldfish
