[p2p-research] Concept for a Giving Reward System for a Commons

[Michel Bauwens]

one big danger is this, and it was very obvious with the similar karma point
system at o-net : people start behaving strategically, to obtain the points,
and making them conditional ... it's no longer unconditional contributions
... so the crowding out phenomena has to be guarded against ...

I favour systems that measure objectively, to avoid gaming,

Michel
