    Why not Reward Full Nodes?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2019 05:48 PM PDT

    I am playing around with some general frameworks for rewarding full nodes for the work they do, especially given worries of state growth in the future. I'm wondering what previous discussions exist regarding the feasibility of compensating full and archival nodes. It seems to me that we are relying on node runners to do work at a loss for purely altruistic reason. Are there ways to fairly validate that nodes are actually performing work and are not malicious, without resorting to competitive proof of work or staking? Are there known perverse incentives that pop up when rewarding nodes?

    ETH 2.0 seems like it will blur the distinction between nodes and miners, with Validators serving as nodes that are selected at random and are rewarded that way, so maybe this stops being important in 2.0. But what about for the next few years while 2.0 is still getting off the ground?

    To keep things simple, I'm assuming that the funding method does not come from inflation, but from some other revenue stream like state rent or ENS rent.

    Thanks!

    MakerDAO is cancer.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2019 03:16 PM PDT

    Maker is nothing like it was advertised. Three token holders have raised the interest rate from .5% to 14.5%, and they are warning that we could soon go to 23.5%.

    You have to realize that they have not control, but meaningful influence over not just two percent of ethereum locked up in CDPs but also all of the DAI that was used as leverage to buy more ETH or other tokens. They can unilaterally influence when you buy and sell.

    This means that 1 to 3 people can literally affect the price of ETH for their own doing. And, then consider the nonsense at expotrading, where every ethereum price top has happened as expotrading closes out margin shorts.

    Because maker token holders don't want to lose money, they jeopardize the entire ethereum system. The influence is disgusting, and people are getting wise.

    Makerdao is a cancer, and makers should be ignored at all costs.

    Is there an Ethereum MTurk?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2019 08:12 AM PDT

    Hi ethereum community,

    I'm not a very tech savvy person, but I was wondering if there was any way I could help the space. Technical specifications on quadratic sharping? Forget about it... but maybe simpler things: spell-checking white papers, testing a smart contract or website UX, voting in polls and surveys, etc.

    Small jobs for small change, you know?

    [Amazon MTurk](www.mturk.com) has been doing this for a while using traditional means and charging up to 20% fees. Is there a project in the crypto space that is working on something like this? It seems like a great use case for blockchain... perhaps you could gamify it as well, letting workers level up as they complete more jobs, or more complex jobs. The people posting jobs could review the worker's effort and determine if it meets the criteria for payout. If so, great, the smart contract pays out. If not, the worker is out a few gwei. No need for 3rd-party arbiters of justice who decide if the work met the criteria. That adds unnecessary complexity. Instead, just publicize the payout ratio of each job-poster next to the job rate. Let workers decide if they want to take a job for 5 dai but with a sub-50% payout ratio.

    So, yeah, tl:dr is there a smart-contract driven small jobs market?

    Thanks all

    [HUMOR] Crypto ABCs - "A" is for "Airdroppings"

    Posted: 20 Apr 2019 03:33 AM PDT

    Welcome to the first in a series from the Tokenomicon™️ entitled Crypto ABCs!

    The first post means the first letter is "A" and the word is

    airdroppings

    /ˈerˌdräpiNGz/

    noun

    unsightly mounds of sh*tcoins which accumulate on various blockchains (especially bad on the Ethereum network). Most reported sightings are in the "token" drop-down on Etherscan. Evidence suggests they are strongly attracted to crypto that has actual value. All attempts to stop them have proven futile.

    Victims of airdroppings typically find it to be more cost effective to send them to a burn address as opposed to actually selling them.
