The article doesn't go into how they would limit users from creating new accounts, (i.e. sybil resistance) which would be very important if you give out points like this. > Every 10 minutes, the system slightly reallocates points. The article author does not make any comparisons of their calculation to a reddit/hackernews style calculation, which already does has this kind of effect. See this article [0] or my Javascript implementation [1] I made a reddit clone [2] that kind of follows this principal: Anyone can make a board which has its own ERC20 token. Upvoting/downvoting costs 1 token. Upvotes tokens are sent to the message author. Downvotes are burned. Moderators have the ability to mint new tokens. I figured these tokens could become valuable if there were lots of discussions in a board since it would induce a demand to moderate the board. I also made a different site [3] that changes the decentralized moderation system so that instead of democratic upvotes, the message owner gets absolute discretion over the sorting of the replies they receive. I've put much more work into this one so it works much better. [0] https://www.evanmiller.org/how-not-to-sort-by-average-rating... [1] https://github.com/numtel/piece-chat/blob/main/src/component...
