There is no crypto in Tribler.

We have something much older then Bitcoin. It's a simple ledger who helped whom in the network. Simple case of earning points by helping others.

Economically, its complex. Coin creation is decentralised, everybody prints their own 'money'. The value of that help-currency is based on how connected you are to the globally connected transaction graph. Then we maintain fairness in this micro-economy against freeriders. See study with 160 million trust records and 95k users [1].

Interesting I'll have to study this. I'm curious how this fares in the face of well- resourced adversaries. Also funny that the guy complaining about crypto convos went straight into hate mode for "not quite crypto" without any research or support. Presumably y'all have thought through this.

If it were able to withstand adversaries it would have been bitcoin before bitcoin

Interesting, it looks like it relies on a fraud detection scheme. Have you considered pairing Chaumian ecash with your reputation system?

Then it's flawed. There's a reason why all earlier implementations failed. They were incomplete.

Yes, Tribler has completely failed as a cryptocurrency.

To be fair, Bitcoin also failed as a cryptocurrency.

It works fine if you're ok with paying $130 for a single transaction
