RE: A Great Reputation System. That's What We Need.
A great and thorough article with sound proposals, thank you.
The ultimate measure, in my opinion, would be some sort of AML/KYC mechanism in place at Steemit. Maybe not while registering but certainly when withdrawing.
Of course, this clashes with anonymity which, as I was told before, should be supported 100% if one wishes to remain anonymous.
The compromise would be that the real identity of the member would only be known to the staff of Steemit.
Of course, your options 4 and 5 should be done anyways.
It would be great to find more decentralized solutions for identity such as the Web of Trust. Instead of using a decentralized OpenPGP system, people decided to use centralized Certificate Authorities to manage server reputation for Internet infrastructure. That was unfortunate. I prefer to stay away from centralized AML/KYC processes in general because I think its main purpose is for governments & banks to maintain capital controls. Maybe Steemit can temporarily use its own identity systems, but the more decentralized & blockchain-based the reputation system is the better.
