Good stuff! Thanks.. will add it to the list of future dev
here is one thing that probably has not been discussed yet.
we have a Karma wall right? where people can post comments.
we encourage people to send small donations to people for doing good.
we know that all altcoins can store a small message with transactions...
so how about we combine those ideas?
how about rather than just spreading Karma around as a token gesture... why don't we actually use it to spread real gestures.
and by that I mean... why not use Karma and the blockchain as the messaging system for sending nice messages of encouragement/feedback along with coins themselves.
we could then hook into the blockchain and pull out those messages and put them up on a website (or block explorer) so that people could actually see the positive comments that went along with the donations.. sort of like a the feedback system used in Ebay etc..
we could make it really easy so that if someone has a website that is accepting Karma donations... people could lookup that address and see the recent feedback (or see it shown on the actual donation page itself) which would give them a better indication of how legit/karma worthy that address actually was..
and ofcourse if someone had a scam donation address people could send negative feedback via a 1 Karma transaction which would mean that they get very little actual money but the negative Feedback is stored for others to see... this ofcourse would encourage Legitimate users of the system to keep their addresses clean so that they can keep collecting donations... and those who are scammers would have to keep changing addresses and thus would perpetually have very little positive feedback.
sounds like a good idea to me.. I give it to the Karma community for free... and if you guys don't implemented it then I may have to just implement it myself for one of my projects.
just think of it... Karma could be the very first crypto currency to have its very own address rating system.
PS.. and another thought.. to stop people from trolling addresses with abusive messages.. we could have a modest but somewhat prohibitive Fixed transaction fee for negative feedback. (like the HashCash idea to stop email spammers)
Good idea. It's actually a feature of the Lill search engine, as discussed before. We can annotate transaction IDs and wallet addresses for all coins (not just Karma) and attach notes, maps, videos, links and other media to them. Each can then be rated.
(This will be demonstrated along with the beta release to the Karma community in a couple of days. There's been some delay, as some db changes needed to be made. But automatic adding of each transaction ID will require even more db power, and this can be considered later.)
Putting them the positive comments for Karma sseparately is a good idea, too.
A fixed transaction fee for negative feedback is interesting but may be difficult to implement. Nonetheless it will be added as a possible future dev.
Thanks for the suggestions!
