Would it be possible to create more than one blacklist as an individual (different reasons)? Or to blacklist people for X reason, where followers can opt-in by checking X reason?
It may be extra, but perhaps pin-pointed focus on specific subjects would improve the workload and infrastructure in the future for Hivemind.
For this functionality, it's only one list per account. So if an individual wanted multiple lists, they would need to create multiple accounts (potentially linking them in some advertised way if that was desired).
I'm assuming that anyone who wants to advertise their list for following purposes will probably provide the criteria by which they add people to their list. The current global lists usually publish such criteria. My guess is that we will see more "specialized" lists as a result of this change. Some of the types of lists I expect to see are:
That's a clever solution!
Are you planning to run your own BL?
I hadn't really planned on it, since I figured other people would do it.
But we do maintain an internal blacklist at BlockTrades to try to prevent users from accidentally sending to phishing accounts similar to exchange accounts and hive services (and also some accounts that have tricked people into giving up their account keys), which we could publish.
I'd guess that some of the bigger blacklists will already cover those accounts. But maybe it would be useful to publish it for someone who just wanted to blacklist those accounts and no others. I guess we'll wait to see what decentralized lists emerge, then decided it if would be useful to do it or not.
