Les points de communauté permettent aux membres des communautés Reddit de posséder une partie de leur communauté, de gagner des récompenses pour des contributions de qualité et de débloquer des fonctionnalités spéciales.
Read all about it at the above link. There’s way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.
I will try and watch this when I have time however I want to give some initial thoughts now. I am a techy amd have been in the cryptosphere for a long time so have a pretty good understanding of the current state of play.
NFTs are a great concept but have a number of potential draw backs. The biggest issue, the one that was the real issue during the NFT hype some years ago, is that without the correct implementation they are worthless. So the common NFT at that time was essentially a blockchain item that contained a url that linked to an image on a centralised server, the server goes down and then you have a digital item that holds a dead link. Now what NFTs have the potential for is to hold the data such as an image directly on chain (however this has some scaling related issues at this time) that would address this issue. And NFTs have much more potential than just images, in game items ate one that is touted often, but really the limits are endless. They could solve practical problems like virtualised receipts/ proof of authenticity for real world items, membership and account management for digital content or real world events are some of the examples that come to mind.
It’s important to note that NFTs (the ethereum ERC-721 standard) are not digital tokens (the ethereum ERC-20 standard) which is what the new reddit points are being implemented using. Tokens are inheritently on chain, they have there own potential draw backs and that entirely depends on the individual implementation of the token itself. They are programmable so the rules defined will outline if drawbacks exist.
The point of a toke is to create a medium of exchange within an ecosystem, the idea that each community has its own token is a great example of that. Yes the token will have little to no value to people outside the community but that is not to say it will have no value at all. The current test is r/cryptocurrency and the MOONs which have been in use for years now, this was the test bed for this system. Moderators and users receive MOONs and are able to trade them on an exchange to get ETH and then into cash of they desire. Its hard to argue it doesn’t add value to the R/Cryptocurrency ecosystem when it does by evidence.
Is it perfect? No. Does it excuse Reddits scummy actions up to now ? Hell no but it is not a bad move in and of itself.
