communities have no recognizable leadership structure
I’ve wondered about the overlap between Communities and SMT’s. For instance housing. How would it be determined who had the rights to issue a HOUSING token or have leadership of the HOUSING community? First come, first served? Stake-based proposal voting? Something else?
At MVP, both SMTs and communities rely on numerical identifiers.
But when it goes live and specific community names like FOOTBALL or SEX would be potentially lucrative real estate, who would get to claim them? Some random lucky first-come, first-served person? A dev who’d written a bot to claim them one second after Communities went live? Stake-based voting? Something else?
That they are numerical identifiers means that no one will be able to claim FOOTBALL or SEX or anything else. You receive a string of numbers which you can call whatever you want. They are not real estate in that you do not own the name space. All you own is a unique ID. What you own is the account that receives the unique ID.
Okay, thanks.
