Hi Dev
Have you guys considered the possibility of tagging node addresses and using sub tags when Viral members start farming their own subnodes? The way I am reading it is gonna be the wild west out there - people are going to be making giant subnets and take a cut of everything they are bringing in. Tagging nodes would let you to that seems to me.
There is a lot of flexibility in how the Verified / subnodes system can work. Much of the challenge is in designing a system where tracking participation in the network scales smoothly between different levels without creating unnecessary work for the algorithms and metrics. Revenues on the other hand are simple. They simply follow metrics along a predetermined system of reward.
The Verified system will reward individuals who - by building subnodes - expand the reach and weight of the Viral network. For the Viral network, more reach+ more weight = more revenues per campaign,and a more attractive product for sponsors.
One can enable and encourage subnodes in a variety of ways. You can allow high performing subnodes to assetize themselves. Fred and his high performing Pinterest network sell shares in "Freddy Pinterest". Or, by using a colored coins system, John can bring people into the Viral network, gradually build a subnode and monetize its subsequent participation for a certain number of months, according to the system we have in place. The possibilities are many.
Many of these decisions and methods will affect the growth of the Viral network as a whole - in terms of speed, reach, revenue, reinvestment, profitability, and direction. So we will be looking especially to our crowdfunders in the coming weeks for input on how we all want to grow Viral.
