@dsilverstone my probably wrong phrase, @leashless calls it governance for peer to peer systems

@frabcus @dsilverstone literaci.es/firecloud is the sort of place this might turn up (in, like, version 3)

@leashless @frabcus All this sounds rather interesting. If there's anything I can do to help wrt. understanding of gfshare, let me know.

@dsilverstone @frabcus etc. etc. etc. Just think "I want a jury trial which reveals my identify if the result is GUILTY" but otherwise Anon.
1
@leashless @dsilverstone politically, who/what instigates the trial? and won't other evidence reveal the identity?

@frabcus @leashless I'm unsure that a bi-(or tri-)directional quorum can be achieved using gfshare. I will need to ponder.
1
@dsilverstone @frabcus You only need one direction - guilty. All other outcomes? Not guilty :-) Easy enough.
1
@leashless @frabcus gfshare uses all inputs. So you risk leaking who voted which way. If that is not a problem then we may have something.
1
@dsilverstone @frabcus Clearly separation of powers is going to be needed - shares handed out by one hand, counted by another type of thing

@leashless @frabcus I'm getting a tad lost now :-) I think it'd have to be a round-table -- perhaps on IRC -- to get this right in my head.

@dsilverstone @frabcus If it is, in your opinion, return "guilty share" otherwise, return random block. Result at end is either ID or not.
1
@leashless @frabcus gfshare can't do that because it *has* to trust the entire set of shares given to it. We *could* try the N subsets.

@dsilverstone @frabcus The goal is to re-implement juries. Simple approach: take a "verdict" doc, split as shares (and dummies.)

@dsilverstone @frabcus Verdict doc most likely is personal identifying information. Similar approach was used to secure Chaum's digicash.

@dsilverstone @frabcus So you're presented with a digital signature on a piece of content (uploader ID.) Question is: "is this copyrighted?"
Replying to @dsilverstone
@dsilverstone @frabcus Something like that, anyway.
