6 years ago Hey thanks for submitting. If you would please describe more about how this would work as a market as well as how governance would work. Also please elaborate on the fraud aspect of this and how Sybil attacks could be mitigated. It's really not going to stop a financially motivated group from creating multiple accounts if they have something to gain from doing so with a fraudulent ICO or something.
My suggestion would be to read up on token curated registries similar to the ones we will be employing and Aragon governance concepts similar to those outlined in the post by Fred Ehrsam that could help with this model. Great submission though, if you elaborate on governance and quality control more this may become a very useful tool.

Calender0x - A Decentralized Calendar for the Biggest Events in Crypto including releases and ICO's
Purpose:
Keeping up with the latest developments in Crypto is a full time job, and it shouldn't be. One solution is to have the ability to vote on the most exciting & upcoming events in Crypto, from tech updates, showcases to ICOs.
Description:
EDIT:
This is similar to AdChain
Application Process
A publisher calls
apply()to create an application and puts down a deposit of DNT. The apply stage for the application begins. During the apply stage, the application is waiting to be added to the whitelist, but can be challenged or left unchallenged.The application is challenged:
A challenger calls
challenge()and puts down a deposit that matches the publisher's.A vote starts (see Voter and Reward Process).
After the results are in, the anyone calls
updateStatus().If the applicant won, the domain is moved to the whitelist and they recieve a portion of the challenger's deposit as a reward. Their own deposit is saved by the registry.
If the challenger won, their deposit is returned and they recieve a portion of the applicant's deposit as a reward.
The application goes unchallenged:
updateStatus()may be called, which adds their name to the whitelist. The applicant's deposit is saved and can be withdrawn when their whitelist period expires.To check if a publisher is in the registry, anyone can call
isWhitelisted()at any time.Rechallenges
Once a domain is whitelisted, it can be re challenged at any time. To challenge a domain already on the whitelist, a challenger calls
challenge()and puts down a deposit of DNT to match the current minDeposit parameter.If a whitelisted domain is challenged and does not have enough tokens deposited into the contract (ie a whitelist's current deposit is less than the minDeposit parameter), then the domain is automatically removed from the whitelist.
Publisher Interface
Deposit() - if the minDeposit amount is reparametrized to a higher value, then owners of whitelisted domains can increase their deposit in order to avoid being automatically removed from the whitelist in the event that their domain is challenged.
Withdraw() - if the minDeposit amount is reparametrized to a lower value, then the owners of a whitelisted domain can withdraw unlocked tokens. Tokens locked in a challenge may not be withdrawn.
Exit() - the owner of a listing can call this function in order to voluntarily remove their domain from the whitelist. Domains may not be removed from the whitelist if there is an ongoing challenge on that domain.
Voter and Reward Process
The vote itself is created and managed by the PLCR voting contract.
Voters who voted on the losing side gain no reward, but voters who voted on the winning side can call
claimReward()to claim a portion of the loser's (either the applicant's or the challenger's) deposit proportional to the amount of DNT they contributed to the vote.No tokens are ever lost or burned because the reward pool of tokens is repartitioned every time
claimReward()is called.Reparameterization Process
To propose a new value for a parameter, a user calls
changeParameter()and puts down a deposit of DNT with the parameter and the new value they want to introduce. A vote to make or disregard the proposed change is started immediately. The deposit will be returned to the user upon completion of the poll.After voters have committed and revealed their votes within the vote contract, anyone calls
processProposal()to evaluate the results of the vote. Deposited tokens are returned to the user who proposed the parameter change. If the results show that the proposed change is approved, the parameter value in the params mapping is changed.To check the value of parameters, a user calls
get()with the string keyword of the parameter.Vote Cost
Improvements
Clout Calculation
A users clout would be a formula based on things like account age, number of votes cast and the percent of challenges won.
Would be used to discount or inflate the cost of a vote costs twice as much as the one before it
A clout minimum would be started so new accounts would be unable to submit application for review without first contributing to the community
Trust Pools
A trust pool could be used instead of the minimum deposit so instead of a fixed value for the minDeposit, there would be a couple options to calculate the amount of DNT to stake
Original Text:
So someone submits a link to the news/updates. That initial submission needs confirmation by a number of users. That number is to be determined and is open for discussion. Those users also edit and tag the submission because once it has been confirmed it can't be edited. Once it's confirmed, votes then get added to the event and those events rise to the top similar to how Reddit works. The tags & metadata would also help you to filter by project, time and vote count.
Why do we need a district for this when there are websites/projects that are similar? Simple - fraud. As these calendars get more and more influential ICOs and even projects have a financial incentive to inflate the excitement around their projects, we've already seen this already with websites that "grade" ICOs. By using a smart contract we would make it difficult to setup fake accounts, it is more time consuming to make a bunch of fake ETH wallets to vote. A smart contract could do things like block certain private keys and obviously it would be timestamped so EVERYONE could watch out for things like voting irregularities.
Looking forward to feedback & improvements.
