    Should the MakerDAO be changing the DAI interest rate every two weeks?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2019 12:11 PM PST

    Two weeks ago MakerDAO raised the DAI savings rate from 0.5% to 1%. Today it was raised to 1.5%.

    The Maker team says "the general thinking in the meeting seems to be every week or two we try another 50 bps.".

    So the DAI interest rate could be 2.5% by March 21st, up from 0.5% on February 7th. 0.5% increase every two weeks.

    Am I crazy to think that changes to the rate (up or down!) should occur more slowly, with longer timelines to ensure statistical significance of governance data?

    A private human identity system based on a synchronous multi-party imitation game?

    Posted: 23 Feb 2019 12:50 AM PST

    A solution just occurred to me about how to establish a registry of unique and private human identities in a public blockchain. It's not a solution I've seen discussed before and I'm starting to wonder why that might be. It's deceptively simple. Essentially, we could design an imitation game or stochastic challenge-response process (a Turing test complex enough to prove that each player is exhibiting intelligent human behavior), which would need to be played at a specific agreed-upon time and on a periodic basis (it wouldn't be a one-off mechanism, but an infinitely repeated game).

    These conditions seem to ensure the uniqueness of each player as there would be no machine which could replicate a cognitively-meaningful path through the game and no way for each unique participant to play the game more than once simultaneously. In short, the successful completion of this game would earn the players a security token which they could then exchange for a private key to some registry of unique identity holders. I imagine this could all be designed in such a way that there would be no transitive connection between the digital and real world identities of the players.

    Another benefit is the fact that this can be implemented in regular software without any expensive biometric hardware, providing high on-boarding bandwidth relative to other approaches. We're really talking about a kind of MMO-CAPTCHA with intermittent state updates to the blockchain. And who knows, this may even be an enjoyable and non-bureaucratic experience for the players. I realize this would be an extremely difficult engineering and social coordination feat, but is there any reason in principle this form of solution couldn't be feasible?

    Very open to any thoughts, criticisms, resources, or projects along these lines.
