Brothers, I used to help out a small team with modeling. There were just five of us, each working on our own data. One time, two guys uploaded the same open-source dataset, but with different cleaning methods. The results from the models didn't match up, and no one wanted to admit their data was the problem. We ended up arguing for three days, and the project went down the drain. Now looking back, @OpenLedger that on-chain version control could’ve fixed this mess. Every data upload has a timestamp and a fingerprint, making it crystal clear who uploaded which version. When training the model, you can easily check which version of the data was referenced on-chain. Unlike back in our day, where we relied on Excel sheets and just renamed files to call them 'new versions.' I took a close look at their attribution record storage method; it doesn’t just store a single hash but also the basic metadata of the data, like size, format, and uploader address. While you can’t see the original content, it’s enough for reconciliation. You can trace which version you contributed that was used by subsequent models and how much $OPEN profit it generated. Everything is traceable. This is similar to the ledger approach of BTC and ETH. Every input can be traced back to its source. However, BTC protects against double-spending, while #OpenLedger protects against credit theft. You might have uploaded your data first, but if someone else uploaded a day later with a more polished format, they get prioritized, diluting your contribution. You can’t argue this on traditional platforms, but with an on-chain timestamp, it’s clear who was first. Of course, I’m also thinking about the scenario where someone deliberately uploads similar data just before you. Although they’re not outright copying you, they’re still splitting your credit. How do we handle that? The whitepaper didn’t detail this, so it looks like the community will have to set the rules. At least now there’s a place to present evidence, unlike before when you couldn’t even find a platform to voice your grievances.
