Monetization of karma

The other day, Nudnik (aka Dmitry Smirnov) described in his blog his concept of Baksokarma .

Maybe something I do not understand in his concept, but in my opinion it is completely imperfect. For example, when a person puts a plus sign on another person, his karma (bucks) increases. This is true for karma, but not for money.
UPD: I read it again, I really do not understand. He is much more complicated, the money is written off. :( But still, it’s too difficult in my opinion for the virtual economy

When we pay the money is written off, and such a scheme - to anything good except hyperinflation - can not lead.
')
Due to this, artificial limitations on the wallet size appear:

“Each user has a maximum wallet size. By default it is $ 100 *. All receipts above the maximum wallet size go “nowhere”. ”


And other, unacceptable, in my opinion, things. On the other hand, Dmitry is the author of a number of popular games, and who am I? In general, I tried to implement my concept of monetizing karma, and, if interested, you can read about what I did:

Further, a reprint of news from the site, from which I hope everything will be more or less clear:

Added the ability to restrict access to photos posted in the Private photo section.

... showered ...

When placing a photo, three modes are available:

* Shared access . This photo will be seen by all visitors.
* Only for friends . This photo will be seen only by your friends.
* Z and money)) . You will be given a portion of karma per view.

What are these modes?

Looking through the photos in this section, you may have already noticed that in some photos is displayed, for example, such a picture:


This means that the user has restricted viewing of this photo.

* Shared access .

... showered ...

* Only for friends .

... showered ...

* For the money )).

This is the most interesting mode. View photos in this section is one unit of karma.

When registering a new visitor - his karma is zero and he will not be able to see the photos from this section. But, any user can publish an article, or upload your photo in a public section.
If visitors like it, they will vote by clicking on this icon.
(if not - on this one )

This will increase the karma of the author by the number of votes cast. And it can be spent on viewing photos from this section. And when viewing private photos (and other materials with limited access) - one unit of karma is deducted from the user's wallet and charged to the author.

Such is the cycle of karma in nature.

We will add the ability to not only accumulate and spend karma within the site, but also the opportunity to purchase karma for real money, or remove it from the system.

Exchanged for valuable prizes or money, here)

And the money will be called m $ (mseksiki :)), do not be surprised when you see such an icon in your profile.

I went to pick up valuable prizes for visitors, here)

Have a nice day!

That's the whole concept.

To view materials from the paid section, the user has two ways:
—Part for the site by posting interesting materials
- “Buy” your karma for real money

As an incentive for active authors participating in the site filling, the possibility of exchanging karma for money or prizes.

The estimated exchange rate of karma for money - 1 unit - one ruble.

But in economics, I am not strong, and to be honest I am now in prostration ...

—What will happen if the site suddenly becomes popular, and users begin to actively exchange their karma for money (remove it from the system)?

- How to set the exchange rate in order to gain the required amount of karma of virtual money was real, and on the other hand, it would not go on the negative balance at the end of the month?

Maybe someone from Habraludey will tell you how to build a budget for an Internet project correctly ?? What have I not provided ??
