Thanks to Elwar and CIYAM Pty. Ltd., I'll safely assume that this is doable.
The idea I have in mind will be introduced elsewhere, but I do want to say here that it will consist of a popularity contest, where the number of people voting is not tallied, only the amount of coins, with anybody voting as much and as often as they want, with each week the starting number of contestants is halved till we have a winner. (64 or 126 contestants is what I'm currently leaning toward)
The grand prize has to big enough to get maximum participants, say like $1M USD. I'm also looking at a 50/50 split. 50% of the total pool as a grand prize to the winner, and the other 50% split among all those who enter the contest (not the voters, though they could be one and the same) divvied up accordingly to their respected ranking, therefore even the contestant in last past is guaranteed something provided, of course, coins were voted for them.
Rest assure, that if/when this comes to fruition, I will not be in control of, nor have access to, the pool.
Again, this thread is just a preliminary step to make sure that such a voting option was available/doable. Feel free to weigh in some more on this subject so that I can formulate this further in my mind.
