    tying money to boopskis will incentivize easily-consumed posts

Ideas:

It could be tied to word count. So it's n bits per word, or per ten words, or something. Though that obviously does the reverse: incentivising rambling posts.

It could be tied to the number of other shares. So, if you're the only one who shares a comment, it gets n bits from you. If it has 7 dots already, it gets n·7 bits from you. I'm not sure if that incentivises valuable posts, or disincentivises sharing already-popular posts.

It could also do the opposite, to disincentivise using the system to make money: the more shares your post gets, the fewer bits per share.
