30% - index wallet economies don't settle to a shared valuation at steady state
25% - index wallet don't have wealth equalizing dynamics
100% - index wallets can't be used to fund public goods
100% - there's a way to evade the voluntary taxation*
5% - they don't favor local businesses

*index wallet don't have wealth equalizing dynamics*

In an economy with high adoption of index wallets and a steady creation of new public goods currencies, make an argument that this doesn't actually lead to wealth equalizing dynamics.

Wealth eq means the gap between rich and non-rich shrinks.

*there's a way to evade the voluntary taxation*

The assumption of index wallets is that they tax you using incentives based on your private belief of your wealth. Show that doesn't work there's a scheme for a player to evade voluntary taxation by moving money around.

*index wallet economies don't settle to a shared valuation at steady state*

It's thought to be likely, and maybe important, that index wallet economies tend to settle to a shared valuation for everyone in that community after the economy has run for long enough

A person is "in" an economy if they both buy and sell

*they don't favor local businesses*

Some of us believe that index wallets are likely to make local businesses more competitive than nonlocal businesses (multinationals or just from out of town). Earn .011 ETH to show this is not the case

If you have any questions about these or want to share a draft to get early feedback, please let me know

*index wallets can't be used to fund public goods*

Show that it's not actually feasible for index wallets to be used for funding public goods.

Assume that an economy has high adoption of index wallets and a public good some subgroup cares about, make an argument that that's insufficient for the good to be funded.
