So, the question is who will be rating the automatic systems of evaluating (how they will get access to blockchain projects if they are not trustworthy) and will the author of them get paid for it?

There will be a rating system in the marketplace - it will not be used to distribute funds, as with experts, but the Subscriber can use it to define if the widget is worth its cost. The author gets the entirety of widget's revenue (in case of automated widgets).

The widget accesses some external data provider through its Docker backend, so it is up to author to make sure that their data is relevant. There will also be some basic data providers from Dolphin BI that custom widgets can query, for example, clients for different blockchains.

So, I`ve gone trhough your Whitepaper and now there is a question. Who will add and remove Experts to the system and what a person should do to become one? Won`t it be used by some unhonest subscriber in order to get free access to widgets?

Anybody can become an expert! The expert cannot see the content of widgets if they are not subscribed (or haven't purchased the paid widget) - they will only see a separate expert's interface where they can post their evaluation.

To become an expert the user will have to register as an expert. Although it is not required, we will strongly encourage experts to reveal their identities; after all, it will benefit them, because they will increase their trustworthiness and popularity, and, therefore, revenue. It is even likely that new experts that pass identity verification will get a small "starter" rating boost (though we are still discussing how to best handle that). Otherwise, an expert is only required to register their ETH address, and they are good to go!


Thank you for the answers!

But this means that the Expert will have to earn more than he paid for subscribtion. The first month or two there could be a big amount of such people but later on their number would plunge drastically, don`t you think so?

Of course the initial boost rating is good (according with compensation fund), but the system may face the position where it has only few Experts just a half year from start. This people would accumulate all the profits from widgets and their ratings will obviously be pretty high.

Well, some Experts that are not very good will be filtered out after a while - such is competition. But we tried to design the system in such a way that not too many Experts drop out and there will still be some variety of opinions. And the Experts do not necessarily have to pay for subscription - only if they want to see other Experts' posts.

We are now thinking on how to best handle new Experts after the platform exists for a while. These new Experts' ratings will be lower than ratings of older Experts, so we are trying to design an indiscriminate way to make them seen to Subscribers. We will have more info on it later.
