OK thanks for the suggestions.

The value starts at 1. The first person to view pays 1 DC to see it. If the viewer up-votes the dream, the value goes to 2. If the viewer downvotes it, it goes to 0. The value incr…

Hi Brad. After letting users post for free during beta testing, we decided to charge one DreamCoin per submission to filter out spam and hopefully to improve the quality of the con…

I agree that the answer is complicated, but I don't agree that we must appeal to mathematics to solve the problem. We need to have a discussion about what is a good compromise and …

Thanks for the links, foolshdropout. I've read most of those, and they tend to the make the same points over again. I called it a "side door" to make the point that we need a compr…
