    Just a clarification - it seems from your post that you think a badge, once received, can then be given again. That is not the case - badges can only be given once. So I have 4 badges right now. If one is given to me for a post, that doesn't go into my badge count and I can't re-give that badge. Right now they're a one-stop shop.

That's what I thought, thanks for correcting me!

    I was thinking about this proposal with cryptocurrency in mind (sadly it doesn't quite work out)

Call me a technophobe, but I think cryptocurrency (in pretty much every implementation I've seen up to this point) is a bad idea. If the system were built on cryptocurrency only, I definitely wouldn't participate. ironpotato is the polar opposite, he practically fetishizes dogecoin.

I was thinking that we should make our own Hubski currency? And that posting would be like "mining"? It was mostly metaphorical. Then I realized that the cryptocurrency would need to be based on actual currency because the point of this would be to fund Hubski and that to me then seemed to defeat the basic purpose of cryptocurrencies (as they are currently imagined/practiced).
