the article mentions "LR isn't a mechanism that can be deployed and widely adopted right away" which is an understatement:

For one, it hasn't been fully tested in the wild and may be vulnerable to unanticipated attacks or economic quirks. Secondly, the mechanism relies heavily on identity systems, meaning that for now, it can't coexist with anonymity, which is highly important to many people in the space. Plus, certain kinds of known vote attacks could mean that LR might need people to use trusted hardware, which some warn come with their own security trade-offs.

the end quote is interesting:

"Nothing would thrill us more than to see other collaborations that pose original, alternative visions for solving what we see as the crisis of liberal order."

Particl Improvement Proposal (PIP) requirements:

providing information to the Particl community, or describing a new feature for Particl or its processes or environment. The PIP should provide a concise technical specification of the feature and a rationale for the feature.

Particl Opportunity Proposal (POP) requirements:

providing information to the Particl community, describing bounty opportunities, integration opportunities, or marketing opportunities. Philanthropy, donations, sponsorship's

this kind of aligns with what we have for Politeia, although I like our approach a bit better:

1. What: In the What section we try to answer what we are proposing. This should be a short description of the problem that will be addressed.
2. Why: In the Why section we try to answer why the proposal is needed and why it is a good idea.
3. How: (no decription, but it's about the execution and costs)
4. Who: In the Who section, describe the entity that is making the proposal, will complete the work, and will draw down on the proposal's budget.
5. When: In the When section we try to answer what will be delivered when and when the stakeholders get to vote on the milestones.

Interesting.

This process was heavily influenced by the Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP) process and Decred Change Proposal (DCP) although it has been modified to fit the needs of Particl.
