Title: Investigate - Using Steemit voting function to support dicing script authors?

I have an idea to make a dicing-script market.

To avoid scam script authors, I am thinking maybe use Steemit voting function to support dicing script authors is a fair idea?

Logic like this:
* Create dicing script is very time-consuming (coding and testing), if the script is really good or not-so-bad, it worth some pay back or profit back.
* But sometimes, users loss is not the scripts' fault, but just user's greedy behaviors.
* So to balance the good part and bad part, voting the good script but not transfer real coin to the author is a safer-but-still-profitable action.

So:
* Steemit voting function is a good choice to make it happen.
* Just voting, no need to transfer real coin from you.
* Author still can earn STEEM/SBD if you voted him.

Sounds good?

The problem with this is that by default, most people's votes aren't worth anything, your post value will only increase by less than $0.001, if the account that votes for you has 15 Steem Power.
People would have to invest a whole lot of money into Steem, in order to make their votes worth something.

For comparison, my own account is worth $2200 and my upvote is worth a whopping $0.10 (which I can use around 20 times per day)

true.

maybe I can regularly vote those authors to make them have passive income forever?
