Welcome - Kenric - 00:08
Introduction - 00:18
"All the President's Bankers" - 02:40 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomi_Prins
Decentralization as a cover for plutocracy - 05:56
"identity verification is very difficult without some centralized oracle" - 06:50
"Reducing the power of entities with large amounts of Ada" - 07:53
Wealth as a replacement of Identity - 09:12
Edinburgh Workshop - Steph - Wolfram- 11:28
Merging of CIP-1694 - Jenny - 15:08
Voluntary release of control - Eystein - 16:21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mathematica Notebook "A Plural Voting Design for Cardano’s Delegated Representatives using Hyper-Plutocratic Deposits for Sybil Resistance" - 18:08
CIP-1694 voting mechanism - 19:20
Delegate Weight will be pluralism - 20:30
Deposit Weight will be "hyper plutocratic" Sybil Resistance Mechanism - 21:13
Minimum deposit will match minimum delegation - 23:40
Analysis of Delegate & Deposit Weight - 24:22
Graph " log-log plot shows how the voting weight for the delegate and the deposit have opposite slopes as the number of wallets is increased" - 27:06
"Deciding power becomes marginal ?" - Thorsten - 30:28
Reducing the significance of the power law distribution tail - 31:32
Cauchy Distribution - 32:06
Comparison with Brexit voting (influence of marginal votes)- 33:30 - Thorsten
From the Mean to the Median - (true representation of the community) - 34:21
Pluralism as Quadratic Voting - Steph - Wolfram - 36:05
A whale splitting across wallets - (applying voting power constraints) - 36:30
Why no rule preventing this breakdown ? - 37:25
Because of the lack of an ID constraint - 37:45
Splitting a wallet to increase votes constrained by deposit - 38:04
Example - A modest delegation with a minimum deposit cannot split into two wallets - 39:15
This proposal proposes a deposit, so dReps will become like SPOs ? - Ninh - 40:33
The size of your deposit will effect how many votes you are eligible for - 41:31
Weakness of a dRep collaborating with a Whale voter ? - Ninh - 42:20
Graph - Even with an investment of 10,000 for the deposits, the maximum votes is limited to 10 wallets - 42:55
Possibility of benefit limited by scale and much less than 1C1V- 43:40
Graph - DReps deposits of 10,000 ADA to increase delegation to 10 million ADA requires reduction in no of wallets - 45:06 Need to address Sybil Resistance - 46:10
Thresholds would not change overall proportion of votes ? - Marek - 47:13
CIP-1694 is linear (1c1v) whilst plural voting takes square root - 48:12
Every dRep will try to be top of the curve ? - Marek - 49:17
Voting power calculations - 50:10
How will changes protect against Sybil attack ? - Marek - 51:33
1c1v not a Sybil Attack ? - Assumption of independence of each ADA/Vote pair - 52:46
Acceptance of implicit "Sybil Attack" in 1C1V - 53:38
(Acceptance of the correlation of voting with plutocratic wealth) Graph - Spread of delegates across wallets - (Sybil resistance in the range of 100 to 10^5 votes) - 54:10
Graph - Analysis of DRep Votes using multiple wallets - 55:21
Transaction fees as a deterrent - Ken - 55:51
dRep deposit as annual fee - 57:37
Voting power dependent on stake pool rewards - Thorsten - 1:00:08
Time period for holding pledge - Ninh - 1:02:18
Sybil Resistance requires ID or some cost (resource or reputation) - 1:03:05
Pair-wise co-ordination Sybil resistance - (vbuterin) - 1:03:52 (https://ethresear.ch/t/pairwise-coord...)
Tracking history of dRep wallets -1:03:52
(highly correlated wallets discounted) Graph - Analysis of solo DRep -1:05:45
Whale creating 1000 wallets - 1:06:45
How voting distribution normalizes - 1:08:19
10k wallets - CIP-1694 bootstrapping - 1:09:18
General discussion - 1:10:25
Conclusion - Kenric - 1:10:40
