How to incentivize behavior to grow the system:
- Library authors "ransom" each version of their library: the community must pay N ether in order for the library to become available (N is set by the author)
- Test authors register their tests during the "ransom" period (on Morden), and these tests are used to determine whether a library will be released
- The authors (library and test) of a released library are granted tokens
- More tests can be registered post-release, and these authors may receive tokens (see: problems)
- Initial excellent documentation will help the author get their ransom (see: problems)
- After a lock-out period, token holders should be able to exchange their tokens for ether
- Someone needs to be incentivized to run the tests continually since libraries can
selfdestruct
or otherwise disable themselves
