Title: Mediation AMA — Learn all about the COTI Mediation System Post by: COTInetwork on April 15, 2018, 01:39:37 PM COTI (https://coti.io)’s vision is to build a decentralized and scalable payments network, bringing innovative technology to the payments industry. We would like to give our community members the first chance to become a COTI mediator and help to solve disputes.
We listed below some questions and answers for those who are interested in becoming our mediators and not sure how to start. https://i.imgur.com/jzUCWyu.png Why was the COTI Mediation System created? The COTI mediation system provides buyers and sellers with protection against errors, fraud and counter-party abuse. One of the greatest barriers in e-commerce is the lack of trust between parties that do not know each other and may never transact again. What’s more, buyer-seller protections are absent in the cryptocurrency sphere, which has prevented the mass adoption of digital currencies. How do other digital currencies deal with transaction disputes? In the current climate of digital currencies, buyers and sellers transacting with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum will have to independently work out differences, if any, that arise between them. Why are mediation services provided by credit cards and peer-to-peer (P2P) companies like PayPal so expensive? Credit card companies and PayPal use third party dispute resolution organizations (DROs) to handle complaints between transacting parties. There can be 6–8 middlemen per transaction, each taking their cut and driving up costs in the process. https://i.imgur.com/sAOWTxW.png How does the Mediation System work? COTI’s approach to mediation involves harnessing a decentralised and distributed group of independent mediators to resolve disputes. Mediators work independently to validate real world information pertaining to transaction disputes and then cast votes on a mediated outcome. Mediators receive caseloads and cast their votes using the mediator application. After mediators’ votes have been cast, they are assessed using a voting matrix that determines consensus automatically. Once a mediated outcome has been arbitrated by a quorum of mediators, the system compensates the winning party and returns that party’s balance to its rightful state. Who can apply as a mediator? To be approved as a COTI mediator, you must:
What types of situations require mediation?
What incentives do mediators receive for their services? As a COTI mediator you will be paid in COTI tokens for each instance in which you successfully resolve buyer-seller disputes. In the event of effectively contributing to a mediated outcome, COTI mediators will also be incentivised with higher Trust Scores. How can mediators access the COTI Mediation System? The Mediator application enables mediators to accept invitations to receive and review caseload data, to place wagers, and, in the event of successfully contributing to a mediated outcome, to receive payouts in COTI. https://i.imgur.com/dzbKZQ9.png Is there collusion risk between mediators in the COTI network? Any risk of collusion is mitigated primarily through the algorithms that determine which mediators are assigned to a specific dispute, whereby caseloads are routed intelligently to mediators who have the least likelihood to collude with one another. If mediators are found to have engaged in any form of collusion, they will be penalized. What happens if I’m not approved to be a COTI mediator? COTI endeavours to make mediation open to a broad group of people and will make available online training programs that can assist candidates in acquiring the requisite knowledge for contributing to the dispute resolution process effectively.
