Abstract: A machine incentivizes behavior, for example, by facilitating a social media game. To facilitate such a game, the machine generates a notification that social media followers of a social media user with a corresponding blockchain will obtain consequences for performing a task that corresponds to the social media user. The machine provides the notification to at least a portion of the social media followers. The machine verifies that a subset of the social media followers have performed the task, each to a corresponding extent of performance. The machine determines, for each social media follower in the verified subset, a corresponding consequence based on the corresponding extent of performance. The machine then updates the blockchain to include a set of one or more data blocks that each indicates a corresponding verified social media follower, the corresponding extent of performance, and the determined corresponding consequence.

Abstract: A machine is configured to perform hologram location within a scene to be generated. The machine accesses target motion data that describes movement of a target device. Based on the target motion data, the machine determines a target motion vector that indicates a target speed of the target device and indicates a target direction in which the target device is moving. The machine determines a hologram motion vector for a hologram to be generated for display by a user device. The hologram motion vector indicates a relative speed of the hologram and indicates a relative direction of movement for the hologram. The machine then causes the user device to generate a scene in which the hologram moves at a speed determined based on the target speed and on the relative speed, as well as moves in a direction determined based on the target direction and on the relative direction.

Abstract: A machine is configured to maintain a distributed reputational database of reputational records that each correspond to a different entity. Each reputational record may include a blockchain that accumulates reputationally relevant information for its corresponding entity. Each reputational record can be a reputational node within a reputational graph that maps interconnections among reputational records of various entities. Each reputational record may be correlated with an entity identifier permanently assigned to an entity and globally unique within the distributed reputational database. The distributed reputational database may implement a rule that a first entity cannot be added or have its reputational record change unless a second entity agrees to vouch for the first entity. Each entity may have a reputation score calculated based on its reputational record. The entity's reputation score may thus indicate the likelihood that the entity will be successful in future interaction events.

Abstract: The system and method provide an intuitive and user-friendly way to store information about physical locations on a computer network. In particular, a physical location information collection is created and stored on a computer network at a network address that corresponds to the physical address of the physical location to which the information pertains. The network address for information about the physical location at 123 Main Street, for example, incorporates at least a portion of 123 Main Street. The physical address can be incorporated into a Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) domain name, such as, for example, www.123mainstreet.com. Alternatively, the physical address can be incorporated into another portion of a network address, such as, for example, www.buildingaddress.com/123mainstreet/.
