We are using a quadratic voting system for the microtransaction side with weights between 1 to 10. Basically this enables people to easily support their authors&#x2F;artists&#x2F;cause via votes&#x2F;likes with amounts from 1 cent to 1 dollar.<p>Quadratic voting is also quite interesting as it allows people to express &quot;how much they like&#x2F;dislike&quot; a particular thing - which is not possible with the traditional 1 like&#x2F;vote per 1 person mechanisms.<p>We are aware of the potential problems that might emerge from this model and this is why we are very interested in exploring various solutions such as Proof of Individuality and reputation systems that can bring both local and global rankings into the mix.<p>These areas are still in the early days of pioneering but we are determined to experiment as much as possible in the search for the best solution.<p>Anyone that is interested in this sort of things is more than welcome to join the discussions on our slack at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;akasha-slack.herokuapp.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;akasha-slack.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a>
