4th Etherum Meetup Vienna: The connection between reputation, sharing economy and Ethereum
Download as PPTX, PDF2 likes972 views
This document discusses reputation systems and decentralized solutions. It notes that reputation is context dependent and can substitute for collateral. Preconditions to make reputation systems work include ensuring the value of having a good reputation exceeds the cost of deviation. Decentralized solutions proposed include TrustDavis, which uses references to pay in cases of fault, and BitVote, which uses proofs of human task solving to address one person, one vote issues. Project Eris is highlighted as providing a toolkit to decentralize systems using Ethereum contracts and Swarm for data storage. Preventing sybil attacks and pricing reputation issuance are emphasized as important factors.

![Takeaway
source(s): [ ] Alexander HIrner 8
Prevent sybil-attacks (or make them useless)! major
factor to impede opportunistic behavior
Think about making ratings pseudonymous to alleviate
fear of retaliation (reverse collusion effects)
Think about how to limit or 'price' issuing reputation,
for important stuff smthg has to be on stake
Watch for clever, decentralized solutions in the future ...
