So, currently it’s a W2 but I’m probably going to change it to a 1099 because I’m figuring out exactly what the best legal structure is based on how I actually like work, and we’re still figuring out where I fit within Orca because again, it’s like one of those things where I’m a researcher but I’m engaging a lot with their DAO and I think that...

Reputation tokens on digital platforms typically serve two purposes:

Coordinape offers a novel model for determining compensation in a way that can be more fair and reflective of actual contributions: since peers vote, there’s not as much emphasis on appeasing a single person, and power is more distributed throughout the organization.

StepN isn't a P2E. It's a social fitness app. Different user demographic.  Running is a perpetual activity for those who wish to keep themselves fit.  Hence, StepN's base players are more sticky compared to other games.

So let’s dig into utility. We’re going to cover:

-Power naturally falls into a small group of people so you have to be intentional about giving away power as there are common roles that people can fall into. 

Revenge Votes are mostly happening in small DAOs in which members usually allocate to all members. If someone gives you an amount that you don’t find acceptable, you will also allocate a small amount to this member.

Should all three of these roles be represented by a single token? Which of them are a better match for fungible and non-fungible tokens?

-Most atomize compensation by role and piece work. Perhaps a third way where something like core contributors have a base role and then are rewarded for extra work. Compensation can be hard to pin down for roles like business development or strategy.
