I've been working for a while on an economic mechanism that has some cool properties: pg funding, voluntary taxation, power decentralizing dynamics But I'm having trouble communicating how the mechanism works in an accessible way

Would love to hear more about this! Unsolicited idea: Try sketching out a smart contract that implements a version of it. This has helped me reframe and articulate economic ideas before.

Oh that's great advice. I'm not a smart contract developer but you'll see that the mechanism itself is extraordinarily simple. It's the emergent dynamics that are surprising and require explanation preprint.indexwallets.org

Oh thanks, queued up to read! Could try doing a rough pseudocode sketch, even if you're not a dev but have a high-level idea of how that stuff works. I find that translating things into smart contracts often requires inverting the approach/concept, which takes a while to grok but adds a lot of clarity.

Huh. Smart I’ll try it. I’ve implemented it in python before, do you think that would help bridge the gap? https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1NhG2iLWtSvHlBBXj1SMv3DBDOc5UPcU5
