Hmm, where is the 10 dash to pay back coming from? Now people make a proposal, and then it requires 5 dash added. Will all the proposals now require 10 dash added?

Thanks. I'll set it up today :-).

indeed there's a method in my madness ;-)

With my first masternode I set up a server with vultr. Now I am setting up a second masternode. Can I point it to the same server (and in case how) or do I need a second server? Many thanks, Pietro

Thanks @jimbursch . I read your other post with interest and upvoted your proposal for the video as masternode owner. Let me start to say that I really love your idea. Because you took a problem and made it into an occasion for some business. And some community building. Now you are suggesting...

Hi @demo please read the peer reviewed paper: How social influence can undermine the wisdom of crowd effect. You can still make the vote visible at the end of the vote. And we found in Vilfredo a good solution where people voted first without being allowed to see the other people's vote. And...

In many of those experiments people had something to gain by voting well. If you let people who have too less invested in dash vote you can get people voting randomy. Or worse, as @demo keeps suggesting people joining and being paid just to make wrong decisions to help some other currencies. So...

It has, indeed, never been tried before.

Great question, thanks. I would say a decision A is better than a decision B if the outcome is more in line with the vision and mission of the company, as well as it is more economically sound. As this is a complex evaluation with several elements sometimes it is not possible to clearly define...

Dear @GrandMasterDash , do you think you could find that suggestion? I would be interested in reading the discussion that came out.

Thanks for your answer @UdjinM6. Just please do not advertise it as Wisdom of the Crowd as it is not using this. For now :-). Just wait until the winner crypto gets established, and the possibility to leave will be, de facto, irrelevant. In any case thanks to all for your input. I feel I...

yes. And the miners too (on each block they put their votes and the system extracts the last x votes; x voted by the masternodes). And the miners and the masternode together if necessary (just in case). And this is just the beginning ... :cool:

remember that the result will be the condorcet winner only if the votes are independent.

if you need the third vote to start coding, I would rather have you code the vote by number (and take the median). Which instead is really important, and I am sure someone will use sooner or later.

The suggestion is this, if I understand it: You will not attend the cryptoparty with your private keys! You participate by having several empty_wallets (their public keys) printed in QRcode. During the cryptoparty (which takes place in a closed door room where nobody is allowed to leave until...

Agreed that it would work like this. I am just not convinced the predictive abilities would be linearly correlated with the investment. Especially when you go to the extreme of having very few masternode owners basically deciding everything. In a sense when you go from the Wisdom of the Crowd to...

Agreed is not the same; I speak about prediction because the wisdom of the crowd is the base of prediction markets which are used to predict sport results. But am I suddenly twice as good in evaluating ROI because I doubled my investment in Dash?

Surely there are people who are really good at predicting. And then they amass good fortunes. But the opposite is not true, there are people who made good fortunes (maybe through inheritance, or sheer luck), but this does not make them any good in predicting. I agree with you that people need...

Hi @TroyDASH, thanks for the very useful example. Let's break it down because you make a lot of really interesting points. Hmm, sort of. The first time this was observed was in 1897 (if I recall correctly) and Farmers were to bet the weight of a dead Ox. And you absolutely had experts among...

Sure, let me try to explain this better then. The way in which people are able to predict an information is not proportional to how much money they have at stake. Either they have enough at stake to give their best bet, or they do not have enough at stake, and their prediction is random (or...
