Yup. Well, bitcoin that is (the exchange they work with can also convert it to dollars if you want, but I think there's a fee). That's the whole idea. Why post stuff and then get nothing for it? For example, many, many years ago, I used to spend something like $90/year just for the WSJ alone. I cancelled it because it was so much propaganda crap. I would much rather reward someone for great content they write individually. $90/year is 9,000 upvotes - that's quite a bit of upvotes I'd be willing to give. So I hope the idea works, as I'd love to earn some money from my writing :) I'm glad you liked the article. But can content submitters cash out their karma for real money?
