* Measurements of constructive/destructive behavior is
calculated in units of percentage of ledgers for which
the behavior is measured.
What we want from the unique node list:
- Some number of trusted roots (known by domain)
probably organizations whose job is to provide a list of validators
- We imagine the IRGA for example would establish some group whose job is to
maintain a list of validators. There would be a public list of criteria
that they would use to vet the validator. Things like:
* Not anonymous
* registered business
* Physical location
* Agree not to cease operations without notice / arbitrarily
* Responsive to complaints
- Identifiable jurisdiction
* Homogeneity in the jurisdiction is a business risk
* If all validators are in the same jurisdiction this is a business risk
- OpenCoin sets criteria for the organizations
- Rippled will ship with a list of trusted root "certificates"
In other words this is a list of trusted domains from which the software
can contact each trusted root and retrieve a list of "good" validators
and then do something with that information
- All the validation information would be public, including the broadcast
messages.
- The goal is to easily identify bad actors and assess network health
* Malicious intent
* Or, just hardware problems (faulty drive or memory)
