I am interested to implement an architecture on top of Ethereum which provides a reputation for a seller online. I want to connect to anyone interested in the same subject. I am in London and I do network at Google Campus.
My idea is for sellers to provide cashback tokens so that buyers have an incentive to leave a review on the blockchain with a smart contract interpreting the token and paying out a cryptopayment to the buyer after the review is left. This is a step towards ecommerce on Ethereum which will have a trust measurement of the seller.
Mostly my experience is in ecommerce and Big Data.
The reviews on the blockchain then may be used by analytics companies to provide recommendations.

For a system like this to truly work a reputation token with the buyers rating and review should be generated by a buyers purchasers smart contract. The buyers review should be weighted based on reviews they have received from sellers and vice versa. This creates a reputation incentiviation system instead of a monetary incentivization system for all parties. Where by being honest makes more since. New buyers that give a seller a bad rating will not have much of an affect on a long term seller with a lot of good ratings. But a buyer/seller with a massive amount of ratings would on the other hand carry a lot of weight. I believe a wonderfull white paper could be written up on the subject. Great concept I hope some of my ideas regarding it are helpful.
I am in Scotland, working on DWoM (Digital Word of Mouth) reputation system, and would be glad of the company.
