@24 Sometimes a costly signal just means that the person is signaling bad judgement. This is often the case.

Costly signals are proportional to value ON AVERAGE.

I looked at your Boost Whitepaper and saw nothing to contradict my initial intuition. Boost is good for Many-to-one and Many-to-Many signals...but one-to-one and one-to-many are natively handled well by Bitcoin without adding this layer of abstraction.

I'd like to encourage you to send in a question for Daniel to the event on Tuesday. Would you be so kind as to ask it via this link? https://baemail.me/@sflondon <-- you could even choose to use Bitcoin (Pay) to signal one-to-many if you like.

Right! Costly signals are for when there is competition for attention. If there is only one person talking then there is no competition.
