Hi @teknow Much appreciation for your efforts in reading and asking questions.

How can reputation and anonymity exists along side?

I'm not completely clear on this myself so i'm happy this question has come up. I was thinking just yesterday if there will be some link to the "real" person in the Cause Group part of the system where real ID is known (probably), yet keeping the anonymity of the person in the Matrix-8 .

I have written to John @matrix-8 to ask him to write a stand alone article re. Anonymity, and to separately address your other points.

Hopefully we'll have a reply within a day or two, but note there is this reply to @ura-soul which discusses anonymity @ura-soul/re-atmalove-q7v2t2
and a further response to one of his comments further down that same thread, but turned into a separate post here: @atma.love/anonimity-in-matrix-8

Hopefully the following will not cloud the issue, and i'm just thinking out loud here (John will clarify - him being the expert - me still learning and helping), but
what i'm thinking is that the Anonymous ID for the person in the 8-PAC system will gain a reputation score based on his/her actions within the anonymous Matrix-8 Consensus mechanism, but also (possibly) that reputation score could somehow link to the reputation of the non-anonymous person outside of the system, on Hive, ie. in the Matrix-8 Cause groups on Hive where the ID is not (necessarily) hidden, the reputation score for the non-anonymous person on Hive could be reported in bands, rather than an exact figure to prevent the link between the matrix-8 ID. Or rather not be reported at all but instead be incorporated as part of a (probably) new reputation system on Hive which also includes Hive based activities. Again, these are just my thoughts which i have also shared with John who will clarify.

Hope this helps for now.

Thanks again for your input.

A point worth noting is that it is intended that learning about The Matrix-8 Solution, asking questions, taking tests, and sharing / on-boarding others will all be effectively pre-mining of tokens (which your comment here is doing). So you will not only be rewarded in heaven for your efforts :-)

Namaste
