Especially since you haven't learned your lesson. Micropayments are stupid and will kill your site. I don't want to see the intrinsic value of a post of mine, particularly when it comes down to "you just spent 20 minutes typing out 2 hours worth of reflections and it's worth less than a tenth of a cent." The very mechanics of your idea are telling me to fuck off and do something better with my time.

What I am suggesting aren't micropayments, I just explained them like they are, and that can and probably should be removed (this idea is still baking). That is, you give Hubski $10. We have the $10. No one else gets any portion of the $10. But now, in addition to the good feeling it gave you, you now have 1000 hubs.

When you circledot something, you give 2 hubs to the author, and 2 hubs go towards your reward stream. When the author circledots something 1 hub goes to the author of the content they dug, and 1 hub goes towards their reward stream.

No micropayment was ever made. Hubski spent the $10 on a pizza long before all the hubs rolled in.

This is actually a straight donation mechanism, plus the value add, plus the bequething aspect of the experiment.
