Who is part of this community of arbiters? Appointed people who are also paid to do this job, or random users of Autorize. If the latter, how are you going to encourage users to judge if car was used as agreed or not?
There is no special limitations for becoming an arbiter so everybody can become one. But early arbiters will have more opportunity to get higher rewards and to build their reputation faster. Early arbiters will be encouraged by access to bounty pool rewards ( 150.000.000 ATR tokens ). Later on, after bounty pool will be drained, reward will be lower but we believe that arbiters will be incentivized by receiving 10% of total rent event price ( reward is splitted between more arbiters ) .
Arbiters with more reputation will be able to access more data. Number of arbiters per case is limited to 7 and we believe everybody will work in their own best interest. Every time an arbiter makes a wrong choice, they can lose part of their stake and their reputation is affected as well. Arbitration event can be finished after 7-21 arbiters send their votes. It is true that more arbiters would mean more chance that their judgment is more correct, but then reward per arbiter would be much lower. We believe that 7 arbiters with staked tokens and good reputation will give the correct answers. If the required consensus is not reached or a dispute is raised by any party involved in the event, it will be settled by community members with dispute arbiter status ( top 1% of all arbiters).
Video? Are you going to install cameras inside/outside of the car? What about privacy? I doubt many people will rent a car if they will be filmed the entire time.
It is true that many drivers who rent a car don’t want to be monitored. But in case that they will drive as it is agreed within the contract the camera won’t turn on.
I think the community should put some work too in reviewing and helping to spread the word. We cannot just wait and let the devs with all the work.
We are building foundations for strong and big community. Inside community everybody is able to monitor the progress of the project and to speak their mind of how the protocol should work. If you are interested to participate you can contact us and we tell you more.
