I am willing to help test, seems a cool idea, even though I have no experience w/ bitcoin.

Also, is there just a link somewhere to donate straight to Hubski? Because I'm willing to donate a few bucks as I can to you guys.

Thanks! You've got bits.

We will have a straight donation mechanism soon. It's in the works.

The whole deal sounds like an exciting social experiment. Where though, will the darker side of human behavior pop up? Could we expect desperate individuals angle and exploit the system? Or, hack it altogether? I'd expect that to be a yes, but what tweaks would be needed to circumvent these situations?

So far Hubski, to me, represents the most successful venue for thoughtful online conversation I've aware of. Is it possible that it could also create a successful economy based on sharing knowledge and currency for the benefit of all community members? I imagine we'll have many posts dedicated to the specifics make this a reality.
