Thanks for clarifying this. I got confused because in the original Inadequate Equilibria sequence, Eliezer uses a bunch of examples that require DAC to solve, but then gestures in the direction of Kickstarter/Crowdaction.
Yeah I thought that was strange as well, Eliezer has a knack for almost perfectly describing new ideas. The thing is, DAC is probably more doable than Crowdaction because of political association. As I said in a comment, political action coordination probably means the site will be associated with whoever uses it first, making it ‘icky’ for other ideologies to use. But I don’t want to give up on this idea just yet because it can be sooo powerful to solve blindingly obvious problems that everyone agrees on but we still can’t fix (like e.g leaving facebook).
