"with Saito Stack you need a bit of Saito to create blog posts but a few cents is enough. like Bitcoin except it's productive and unlocks new features. NFT access keys are coming soon. Once they are live you can create NFTs that others will need to have to read your posts. these NFTs can be transferrable or non-transferrable and they can last forever or work as time-limited subscriptions. time-subscriptions require routing sigs inside the NFTs btw -- Saito supports those because routing sigs are our bread and butter -- nothing like this exists elsewhere in crypto. in the meantime pls report"

"this isn't true @toly. the impossibility proofs you're citing from @MaxResnick are not correct. you can sanity-check this simply by asking if deviating participants reveal their preferences to the mechanism. if the answer is "no" -- and it is no in all these papers -- you don't have the kind of truthful preference revelation needed to begin talking about incentive compatibility. strictly speaking you can't invoke the Revelation Principle at all in such cases let alone make general impossibility claims. there are known solutions that involve indirect mechanisms. you aren't exposed to this stuff"

In order for the group to protect itself it needs to spend a certain amount of money on "security" (paying people to repair the windows patrol inside etc.).

"One way to think about the problem that is bizzare is that there are two kinds of "fog" in this story. There is the external fog that helps with the story. And there is the "internal fog" that blocks everyone from seeing what everyone else really thinks. Both are dangerous. Hurwicz says "we can't solve this problem without an trusted third-party." Because we need to VERIFY what people believe and PUNISH them -- we can only trust that they'll vote honestly if there is a thread of credible punishment.
