RE: What Is The Best Byproduct Of Securing A Blockchain? Let's Talk About It
Thank you!
This will not require any interactive actions like voting, commenting, or reateeming.
It would only count what the users viewed and how much time spent on a post, video, or playing games. To my understanding any Apps can gather that information. So the algorithm used will need to be implemented by the Apps.
Participating Apps in return will be awarded certain amount of Consume tokens so they can use them to attract more users to use their Apps.
Challenge is how to implement it on a blockchain level without requirng a hard fork, but keeping it functioning on top of Steem.
Well, I submit that the real challenge is to actually detect consumption. Botting began in games, back in the '90s, and many games yet have problems with this. @drugwars has recently banned many accounts for exactly that. Simple scripts can point computers at content, and no one would be the wiser without some means of differentiating those scripts from actual eyeballs.
Until you solve this problem, all you can do is enable bots to be profitable posing as people, and most dApps will be well aware of this. They won't want to pay for bogus views.
