A public record of taste

Good things deserve
to be found.

There’s a place you’d cross the city for. A song you wish more people knew. A recipe you’ve made three times this month. List of Fame gives those things a place to gather recognition.

Start with a question.

Every List asks something specific. Which Tokyo ramen is worth the detour? Which guitar pedals have real character? Read what belongs, explore the original sources, and give your perspective.

A little Influence goes a long way.

You have 100 Influence points on each List. Put them behind one subject or spread them around. You don’t need to spend them all, and you can change your mind. Entry Fame is the sum of eligible, confirmed Influence. A draft on your device doesn’t count.

When totals tie, the List compares current supporter count, then the time of the most recent Fame change, entry creation time, and a stable entry ID. Entries with no support are unranked.

A record, without the performance.

Each confirmed change creates a receipt: what you supported, the amount, the rank before your action, and your first supporter position on that List. Receipts start private. Share a subject because you care about it; you never need an impressive score to make a good recommendation.

Recognition that has time to settle.

Fame belongs to items on Lists. Your profile instead records Discovery for lasting early support and Reputation for useful contributions. The initial Discovery system creates pending awards when an entry reaches 10, 25, 50, or 100 eligible supporters. Keep at least your qualifying allocation in place for seven more days to confirm an award. Reducing it below that amount cancels that pending award.

Awards use a recorded formula version: a milestone base, an early-support factor, the square root of your allocation strength, and how long it had already been held. Integer rounding is consistent. An award is recorded once. Rank-based and longevity awards are not active in this initial release.

Different questions, different answers.

A general recognition List can include familiar favorites. An overlooked List needs a clear definition of “overlooked.” Constraints, forecasts, and expertise add context, never secret voting power. Every lens uses the same ordinary Influence rule.

Make the conversation better.

Every List has its own discussion. Support helps useful comments rise among their siblings and can contribute to the author’s Reputation; it never changes item Fame, Influence, Conviction Credits, or tokens. “Does this fit the question?” remains the starting point for corrections. Ordinary additions can be checked against sources automatically, while reports and appeals stay with a human administrator.

Credits are a separate experiment.

Selected accounts may be invited to an off-chain Conviction Lab using non-transferable test Credits. Credits have no cash value, are not a token promise, cannot buy Influence, and do not use comment support. The lab can be paused independently without changing the ordinary site.

No purchased rankings.

Money, shares, referrals, and any future optional token features cannot buy Influence or increase normal rankings. The ordinary experience stands on its own.
