Format: Question & Answer (Q&A)
Stakeholders: i) Questioner - initiates discussion with a certain minimum bounty which also acts as an anti-spam measure to allow only 'valuable' questions
ii) Answerer - provides best answer to maximize answer rewards.
iii) Voter - judiciously uses votes to maximize voting rewards.
All bounty questions have a certain expiry duration ranging from 2 to 7 days.
How game theoretic incentive structure ensures that people who share/curate best content are rewarded fairly?
i) Answer rewards depend on community votes.
ii) Each user gets 16 votes per question to exercise. Multiple votes to a particular answer are allowed to reflect intensity of liking.
iii) When answer voting is taking place, no previous identity/voting history of a particular answer is shown to the voter which eliminates bias.
iv) Those voters who had voted for the rewarded answers (found out after bounty expiration) also get to share a portion of bounty amount.
