Content Mining: Censorship Resistant Content Auditing Mechanism

A mechanism to curate content onto the SNGLS Media Distribution Protocol in a trustless and censorship resistant way. It allows for society to determine what people should be able to watch, not large centralized siloing corporations.

One of the biggest problems in the technology sector right now is figuring out how to scale open content distribution platforms. The current systems are not able to keep up with the number of Users that are coming onto these platforms and they end up banning large swaths of Content Creators even if they have done nothing wrong. Digging even deeper you have the problem of silencing voices of artists that could be against the regime of a country. Our solution to this is allowing humanity to validate its own artistic culture and history through a mechanism we call “Content Mining”.

Content Mining is designed to allow SNGLS holders to decide what kind of content they want to see included on the system. It’s not “censorship-proof or neutral” on purpose, but it does result in a validated content marketplace. This is incredibly powerful, as it gives the public a tool to decide what it culturally thinks is correct. This might sound scary to some people, but we believe that it is paramount to our mission.

Combining the features of Proof of Stake, Token Curated Registries, and Prediction Markets we have created a mechanism that will allow content creators to upload their content into the system and get validated by other participants in the snglsDAO. Content Mining is the lynch pin in our quest to create a truly decentralized ecosystem not controlled by any third party.

The basic content validation flow works like this:

1. The content creator prepares a new entry to the system. In order for the content to be submitted, some amount of SNGLS needs to be staked along with the Validation Fee.

   a. Validator Fees incentivize Validators to verify the content faster.
   

2. If the Validator fees are market correct, Validators will start verifying the content and they can vote up or down the entry.

   a. The more SNGLS a validator has staked, the more their vote counts.
   b. Once the threshold has been met the content is “mined” onto the platform.
   

3. Once the voting is done, no matter if the entry was accepted or not, the Validators are rewarded the fee proportional to their voting weight.

   a. If content is rejected the Content Creators are returned their initial SNGLS stake (Listing Fee).
         - If the Validator voted no (reject) then they are rewarded the validator fees, and the Validators that voted yes (accept) are rewarded nothing.
   b. If the content is accepted the initial SNGLS stake (Listing Fee) is sent to the Treasury that is controlled by the DAO.
         - If the Validator voted yes (accept) they are rewarded the Validation Fees, and the Validators that voted no (reject) are rewarded nothing.
