#tantek__thinking out loud, could karma be a form of distributed vouching, or maybe # of links from A to B rather than just existence of such a link
#tantek__or even # of links over time, e.g. in the past year
#tantek__could solve the problem of accidentally implying a vouch for someone just because you linked to them once
#tantek__or another way - allowing vouch to be a multi-valued param, allowing multiple vouch URLs, and then perhaps depending on some % of them (or at least n of them) being valid

#tantek__I've gotten private feedback to allow vouch to be multi-valued anyway - this might be a good use-case
#tantek__I especially like the "at least n" (where n is perhaps only known to the webmention receiver) approach, because you can attempt verifying the series of vouch URLs until you have as many as you want
#tantek__which begs the question of whether there should be an upperbound on # of vouch URLs a receiver is expected to process
#[jgmac1106]That is basically the way academia has done it since time eternal. Except we then complicate it more by the perceived credibility of where the publication is in an h score
#[jgmac1106]In a way be equivalent of a vouch from someone in the community with greater # links being able to give more "vouchiness" to someone with less
#[jgmac1106]I thi k though distributed karma would have to be community based, how do you dileneate a vouch from different groups?
#[jgmac1106]Could there ever be some kind of private hash you carry around in an hcard that could allow vouching within and group only syndication?
#[jgmac1106]What about geofenced karma... That I find intriguing

#[tantek]Does group difference matter for sake of vouching? I mean if you "know" the source why do their group affiliations matter?
#[tantek]Or are you using group affiliation as a proxy for "knowing" them?
[chrisaldrich], tantek__, tantek and Erynnn19 joined the channel
#[jgmac1106]Yeah maybe group doesn't matter but different communities put different value in who is vouching whom. A vouch from you might matter in this community but my teacher friends wouldn't care....but I guess I "aggregate" vouches to reflect different community values

#[kevinmarks]it is also contextual - mostly we manage this in our heads, but we weigh response differently depending on the person
#Zegnat“karma” is an interesting measurement for vouch. But decentralised karma sounds like a headache... BLOCKCHAIN perhaps? :P
#[jgmac1106]agree [kevinmarks] hard thing to quantify
#[jgmac1106]@zegnat I have seen some Karma tokenization ideas where the total amount of "mineable" karma is tied to total human population
#[jgmac1106]On another note I was referring to Karma and vouching in groups as I would also like to publish just to a group--semi private..then I get to chapter in Hertling'a book last night about "selective sharing" being one of the few flaws in the indieweb model
#[kevinmarks]an example I've used before is that you'd weigh a tech recommendation from someone differently than a food one, especially if they have different tastes
#[jgmac1106]that is a good example and I would want to weight my recommendation...a food recommendation from my mom, for example, is to be ignored
#ZegnatIf you receive a comment to a piece about an indieweb tech from a stranger, but you see me vouching for that stranger, you might want to accept their comment on technology. But if a stranger comments on a personal photo you shared and their vouch is me, you may not want to accept that vouch because we have no social overlap.
#ZegnatSo I guess groups could help you decide that way
#[jgmac1106]Kudos - a Validbook token. 1 KDS is generated per 1 living human daily. World human population is estimated for the next 100 years based on 2017 UN population prospects. See analysis here....that is tokenized karma to the extreme
#[jgmac1106]....came out of the verifiable claims community group
#ZegnatThey will be putting a monetary value on KDS? I am not sure if I’d like that for my karma
#Zegnat“I have x karma (KDS), so I am worth y (USD)!”
#ZegnatHaving a “Statement of Unique Representation of Living Human Individual” sounds interesting, I’ll have to read a little more there
