idea: multichain leaderboard

[ghost]

Correct me if I'm wrong, it seems possible with multichain that your client would be able to know how many other tribler nodes have seeded more than it, or at least have some idea. Along with the amount uploaded, the number of people helped...it might make sense to have some degree of competition in terms of how you compare with other people. It could possibly incentivize people to seed/share more if there was a 'top 10 seeders' achievement or leaderboard that you could try to get into. Even if there was no reward other than to know that you're 39023th of 1000000 nodes in terms of MB uploaded...that's something that will keep people seeding more.

Thanks for the suggestion! This sounds like a good idea and provides an additional incentive for users to keep their Tribler instance open for longer periods of time. However, knowledge of individual peers is rather limited. This might be a good idea to display on our website or statistics page (http://statistics.tribler.org).

We are currently focussing on getting the current system up and running, in particular, our micro-economy of bandwidth tokens. After that's done, we will consider this.

Multichain has been removed for quite a while now and this issue is no longer relevant.
