Re: Three Form Identity

@william

@adam I like this idea, but I think boards should have the ability to restrict it if it's becoming a problem to the conversation.

It could become a problem if it leads to flame wars, spam and trolling. At the same time, offending comments or posters could still be filtered out through the moderation process or the crowd-sourced curation methods under discussion/development. I think @Matt's idea is very interesting. +1

@adam agreed

Each name/username would be tied to the same account though, so it would be easy for moderators to penalize/block trolls. Users trolling would affect their real names rep, so I don't think it would be as big of a problem. The LTB platform would need a way to track a users reputation via points system.

"Other Asset" Tipping?

I'd like to have a way to distribute/tip a non-ltbcoin asset easily to a user. The product I'm designing is going to require a variety of assets and combinations. It be nice to have an easy way of distributing them.

Would it be possible to interface with the XCP API so you could distribute assets from your wallet easily?

Re: Three Form Identity

@cryptonaut I like this idea actually. I don't think it would be terribly difficult to implement either. Im not sure about dual identities, but definitely options to post with real name, username or as anon.

thoughts @adam?

@cryptonaut

I think this sort of thing will help set the forum apart from others. It'd be great to really get to know the community and everyone's real name, but also allowing them the freedom of posting in a sort of anonymous fashion when they choose, while still building their reputation. Not to mention it gives the LTB platform an additional monetization pipeline.

Re: JEDI, so is there only one Dojo?

@spengler What on Earth is wrong with me?

I've only just noticed the existence of this Dojo!

My apologies, I will now come here (knowingly) more often!

Oh my word. Is this my first night at Dojo? Does that mean I HAVE to fight?

Free your mind. ;)

Re: Three Form Identity

@therealtwig Very interesting idea. @Matt do you believe that people would have a higher incentive to participate more if they weren't directly tied to their online persona? I believe part of what gives someone credibility as well in this space is taking chances with opinions and learning from conflict if it arises. Granted, I do not have a handle that is tied to my real name (and who knows that might change eventually), but I wouldn't necessarily feel the need to post on an anonymous account even if I had access to one.

I would agree with you, however I feel users would appreciate this type of anonymity since it offers them all the ways to express themselves freely without the repurcussions of affecting their reputation. Adam mentioned on his podcast recently writing white papers about the LTBcoin idea (prior to it's creation), but never actually publishing them since he was unsure of their validity. If he had a private alias or anonymous identity with a respectable reputation he could have published his ideas a bit more freely without fear of affecting his reputation of his ideas. I often find myself in a similar situation when trying to share ideas or thoughts in this space since I'm not as versed in the technical aspects of cryptography and computer science. I understand the concepts, but the engineering is often over my head.

Three Form Identity

We often find ourselves in a predicament when trying to express our viewpoints on topics especially in this complex industry where we have such a tight-knit community. Saying the wrong thing or expressing your viewpoint publicly can lead to devastating consequences for one's reputation. Forum users often use anonymity for this reason or just to remain anonymous for the heck of it. Given the new field of science we're working in I feel people desire to build more than just a semi-anonymous online reputation.

If the forum provided the ability to create dual-identities; users could post as themselves or as their alter-ego, while still building a real and virtual reputation within a single account. I propose the ability to have three forms of identity with a default control available as a posting option on the forum:

• Username Posting Option 1 - User's Real Name (Public Reputation)
• Username Posting Option 2 - User's Handle (Semi-Anonymous Reputation)
• Username Posting Option 3 - "Anonymous" (Completely Private Reputation)

Since the access to each username is controlled through a centralized network trolling can be moderated easily. This option could also be sold for LTBc in support of the network.

Thoughts?

@scipio

@matt

@scipio @spengler @mich Intrigue this is. Looking to remove some impurities are you?

I imagine that right now, you're feeling a bit like Alice. Hmm? Tumbling down the rabbit hole?

You could say that I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

Without pain, without sacr1fice, we would have nothing. Like the first m0nkey shot into space.

JEDI, How does this song make you feel?
