Crazy Ideas

How to incentivize behavior to grow the system:

• Library authors "ransom" their code: the community must pay N ether in order for the library to become available (N is set by the author)
• Test authors register their tests during the "ransom" period (on Morden), and these tests are used to determine whether a library will be released
• The authors (library and test) of a released library are granted tokens
• More tests can be registered post-release, and these authors may receive tokens (see: problems)
• Initial excellent documentation will help the author get their ransom (see: problems)
• After a lock-out period, token holders should be able to exchange their tokens for ether
• Someone needs to be incentivized to run the tests continually since libraries can selfdestruct or disable themselves
• Are new versions ransomed just like the initial version?

Problems to solve:

• How to reward ongoing testing
• How to reward ongoing documentation
• Use a different word than "ransom" since it has negative connotations, and could even be triggering to some people
