View submission: The next phase for Donuts
Reading this sub since 2016, I rarely comment as I am technically ignorant of the inner workings of blockchain. I continue to be intrigued by the intersection of technology, economics and politics that is the evolving Ethereum world. The donut experiment is sliding more to the political, rather than the technical. In the scheme of the Ethereum ecosystem, what happens in the Ethtrader subreddit is not all that important right now. However, it could be important to Reddit, so be upfront about what this really is - employing smart contracts to attempt to decentralize moderation of a Reddit product. It's not like this subreddit community is going to vote on important technical changes to the actual blockchain. (The technical teams listed on yesterday's Ethereum Foundation blog post would be most qualified to do that.) However, if the mods want to spend time and energy developing the economic and political aspects of the Ethereum blockchain, this is probably as public of a place to do it. Keep all of the activity related to the donut experiment confined to this subreddit for a while longer to flesh out the economic (trade/sale of donuts) and political (binding/signaling) ramifications.
There's nothing here!
