It’s pretty rare to find a coin that has - a great timeless meme / great narrative / unlimited potential - a community mostly made of believers vs. short-term flippers - good backers with a long-term vision and an ability to lay out the thesis clearly - Retail-friendliness When

One effect of the impact evaluator residency in Iceland has been getting me to look much deeper into condorcet voting They conform with insights @JonasSFT shared on not having human do quantification but only rankings @CS_Synthesist gave a talk today on 4 ways of implementing it. It's one of those rare ideas that academics all agree is good in theory but there are few empirical case studies of how it works in practice At a broad level Condorcet does away with strategic voting by only having voters rank different options. It then uses computation to emerge with a winner through pairwise matchups of each candidate based on the rankings provided (there is an edge case or condorcet paradox where no winner is declared) Classic condorcet works well when there are few options so voters can actually rank all of them. However it functions with a static list of items as new entrants affect the ranking order In 2024 Brandl proposed a new version of it called the urn mechanism that overcame both issues by letting people propose new options at any time & reducing cognitive by not asking for exhaustive rankings but only answering a few binary questions It's main drawback is the heavy computation required, for 20 people with 5 options it took 50k steps to finally have results computed 😨 So then we come to more experimental setups like simulated urn condorcet, where people can state that "any distribution is fine so long as A = 2x B , C> A, etc or even give their preferred split & vote based on how close it is to that split. While faster to converge, the main drawback is that like classic condorcet it works only with a static list of projects to rank as introduction of a new entrants screws up the rules you put in place So then we come to the final version of it that @williamhwgeorge helped brainstorm: have a reigning option that can be displaced by one other competitor So we need some quality control on who gets to propose a candidate against the current split but it allows for input & creativity along with dynamism in letting new objects enter without messing up earlier calculations So what are some use cases we are targeting here? For one, to choose between different domains or mechanisms. We hope to propose this on @gitcoin as a way for the network & stewards to come to consensus on which domains deserve the most support in GG24 If it works well here, we can see more ambitious uses like letting a larger network comes to consensus on resource distribution between different mechanisms like QF, time weighting, deep funding, etc or even between direct projects themselves One unnadressed question here, although condorcet can give us a ranked ordering it isn't clear how we distribute funds based on the list. Is it a power law where the top winner gets orders of magnitude more or a peanut butter spread that's more even? Overall i like the ambitiousness of empirically testing out condorcet in some way & think the residency would pay off its RoI on simply this pilot taking place!

This @Hypaos showed up in my wallet Looks rare 🤌

Office Hours. 6pm today. Zeitgeist. Meet your mutuals. I only come to the west coast once every 12 years so it’s rare
