Backfeed develops a distributed governance system for blockchain-based applications allowing for the collaborative creation and distribution of value in spontaneously emerging networks of peers.Value NetworksEnable the collaborative creation and distribution of value in spontaneously emerging networks of peers_75dba416-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.1MeritocraticacyImplement a meritocratic governance system_75dba448-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.2Dynamic Power Distribution -- The Backfeed protocol implements a meritocratic governance system, dynamically adjusting the influence of peers in a decentralized network.RewardsReward contributions based upon their value_75dba4ac-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.3Proof of Value (PoV) -- Just as Bitcoin's Proof of Work (PoW) algorithm rewards miners according to the amount of computational resources provided to the Bitcoin network, Backfeed's PoV mechanism enables a decentralized network of peers to reach consensus about the perceived value of any contribution within the network, and reward it accordingly.ConsensusDrive communities into consensus_75dba52e-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.4Accommodating Diversity -- The Backfeed protocol drives communities into consensus by empowering aligned individuals, and translates disagreement into a diversity of networks.Empowered AlignmentEmpower aligned individuals_75dba5b0-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.4.1Diverse NetworksTranslate disagreement into a diversity of networks_75dba628-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137151.4.2OrganizationsEnable the bootstrapping of decentralized organizations on top of the blockchain_75dba6b4-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137152Decentralized OrganizationsApplications -- Backfeed's infrastructure comprises decentralized management tools, equity-sharing schemes, crowdsourcing mechanisms, and instruments for the collaborative evaluation and curation of content.The Backfeed protocol can fuel a variety of ventures, including decentralized journalism, insurance, ride-sharing applications and any other enterprise that would benefit from the decentralized, indirect coordination of large groups of individuals.Our goal is to enable the bootstrapping of decentralized organizations on top of the blockchain as easily as one would deploy a website today.Management ToolsProvide decentralized management tools_75dba740-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137152.1Equity SharingProvide equity-sharing schemes_75dba7c2-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137152.2CrowdsourcingProvide crowdsourcing mechanisms_75dba858-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137152.3Content Curation & EvaluationProvide instruments for the collaborative evaluation and curation of content_75dba8ee-646e-11e8-9cee-08cbfc6137152.42018-05-30http://backfeed.cc/OwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
