==Attack Methods and Countermeasures== ===Facading=== It is also unclear how to prevent abusive companies from acquiring multiple direct votes by creating many identities, or from creating their own nonprofit entities to do nothing but say the right things, and vote against their competitors, regardless of anyone's behaviour. :Isn't that just the thing they are doing right now? ::Yes, but not right here right now. ;-) They will eventually try it here, too, and we have to anticipate all their [[exploits]], [[worst cases]], [[threats]]. ===Hedging=== Hedging? Now you will have to explain that. How can there be hedging? :I publish three opinions with three different identities - one says X is good, one says X is bad, one says X is mostly good with a few problems that can be solved. ::This is not allowed by definition. But [[TCE]] having no legistlative support to maintain it's integrity, unlike gov't moderated commodity and equity markets, will have to rely mostly on social control to limit this kind of behaviour. Carefully using FOAF techniques to map out the field and then placing higher value on untainted grounds should make hedgers degrade to just noise eventually? :::No, you can't count on your FOAF map to actually reflect the hidden power and money relations. Look at http://disinfopedia.org for a futile attempt at that. This is far too fragile, [[reputation]] is over-estimated as a way to determine who provides accurate [[instructional capital]] - the [[prediction market]] does a better job, a [[proxy market]] for votes can enhance but not replace it. There is also no [[social control]] that will hold world wide - because there is no [[social capital]] on such a large scale. It is not relevant what is "allowed" only what is technically possible. You are designing a high security system here. Now the opinion that X is good gets attacked and I lose reputation for that identity, the opinion that X is bad gets reinforced and I see by who. Third identity exploits the fact that it is taking a "moderate" position, and uses all the arguments launched on either side to bolster its own reputation. Now I have one spam identity that everyone knows is just saying X is good, I discard that, leaving me with two identities with good reputations: one that is seemingly opposed, one that is seemingly a moderate critic, of X, which I secretly own... if anyone has been foolish enough to publish their own opinion as themselves, I know who they are and can work out their motivations and other opinions, and attack their reputations selectively. However, you cannot trace MY three identities back to one body even if you force me to provide my DNA, because I can just pay others to front for me and pretend the opinion I pay them to have, is theirs. The only thing you can do is make it cost me money to do this, in proportion to the impact my opinions have, and that at least forces overall accountability back to the same wallet, if not the same body. See the point? This is exactly why the global economy is built on a casino model. :Corruption cannot be weeded out, but it's effects can be subdued. ::Not by simply defining it out of existence. ----
