Also, here’s my proposal for how Discord cred will work:
- By default, messages are not tracked by SourceCred
- Any message which receives a
reaction will be tracked:
- Its author will receive cred from the message
- Any references in the message will receive cred from the message
- The message will receive cred from the reaction
- (at least initially) we will mint cred for these reactions
- The reacting user will flow cred to the reaction
My expectation is that people will use this to give some positive reinforcement and cred to anyone who posts a particularly valuable, helpful, or insightful message to the Discord, or to people who describe valuable contributions e.g. the #didathing channel.
The amount of cred flowing from the reaction will be smaller than for a Discourse 
, which reflects that Discourse posts are more durable and often more valuable than Discord messages.
