Hey a late reply, I was out of town for the weekend. Yeah as far as integrating the reputation system for merchants with staking and miners its not a good idea since they are two decentralized protocols done in completely different ways. So its hard to integrate the reputation system in that way per se. However, if you had a series of servers or master nodes that collected reputation data or spot prices or things like that then that might be something to look in to down the road.
