Think of way to do proof-of-"social attestation" #2

Closed onggunhao closed 5 years ago

onggunhao commented 5 years ago

Initial thoughts

Can we use existing tools (e.g. 3Box or uPort) to verify social media profiles of borrowers and attestors?
If we do it from scratch, can we use the LinkedIn OAuth flow to get users' token and verify ownership of LinkedIn account?
Loan Contract needs method to allow another wallet (hopefully w/ 3Box or uPort) to attest
Is there a better name for social attestation? Gah

Existing Blockchain ID Leveraging 3Box or uPort makes sense.

Existing Social Repuation Options Is there an existing trusted provider of social reputation? If so, we could potentially use oracles to get this data on-chain and associate it with ethereum addresses.

Reputation System Thoughts Users generate social reputation somehow. Perhaps they can get their credit score on-chain in the oracle fashion.

'Reptuation points' could be 'staked' onto others loan requests and burned if they default.

@tspoff

Social Reputation For social reputation options, would we consider LinkedIn? (e.g. associating Ethereum address with LinkedIn profile)

[ ] Verify whether 3Box has LinkedIn and Facebook links

Alternative Credit Scores Could there be a "proof of work" type task they do (eg learn JavaScript) that demonstrates ability to learn and determination?

Reputation System IMHO the core problem is building the reputation system in the first place - probably not at the level of staking etc yet

Closing as we have decided to implement 3Box for the MVP iteration
