This post follows along from the previous post on an alternate scheme for accepting reg and distribution data. The intention is to describe a workable proposal in more detail.

1. off-chain data becomes available.
   • for registration this is the point when the thread is locked and pre-registration for that period closes.
   • for distribution this is when a new distribution csv file is published by Reddit
2. raw data is processed through the appropriate script (registration, distribution) to an output file with the data combined with it's merkle representation. merkle root is noted.
   • this step is available to anyone
3. output file is published to ipfs. file content hash is noted.
   • this step is available to anyone
4. the merkle root and file content hash are used as parameters to propose a new distribution or registration period. this initiates a 1 week challenge period.
   • proposal is accompanied by a meaningful stake (50k donuts)
   • proposals are rate-limited to 1 per 6 hours
   • proposing is limited to registered users
   • if by this time we have the qualified or trusted user designation (registered user above threshold karma) then proposing would be limited to this user group
5. registry and distribution app ui automatically pulls in data from ipfs using proposed content hash. some client-side validation is available (view file, correct formatting, does merkle root match raw data). option to challenge if an existing challenge is not present.
6. a challenge initiates a dao vote.
   • challenge is accompanied by 5k 10k donut burn
7. on a successful challenge (dao vote passes), proposer stake (50k donuts) is transferred to initiator of challenge. shame and banishment is reaped on proposer. challenger hailed as hero.
8. failed challenge always ends challenge period. data assumed valid and distributions claimable or registration period opened.
   • proposer receives 10k 5k donut reward (minted)
9. if no challenge, data assumed valid at end of 1 week challenge period.
   • proposer receives 10k 5k donut reward (minted)

questions

• if proposer and challenger are same person/colluding? this would only serve to grief by causing the need for the vote with the cost of a net loss of 5k donuts (10k burn minus 5k reward).
