Innis

Every ten minutes the network asks the same question. Did you do the work. Show me. The question does not care who you are or what you claim. It cares what you can demonstrate. Your curation is proof of work in this same sense. Your verification. Your authentication. The thought you actually applied to the source before you passed it along. You cannot fake it indefinitely. The network eventually finds out. The only way to pass the test consistently is to do the work consistently, and the only reason to do that is because you care whether the answer is true.
