If, as a community, we decide that this is a valuable characteristic then just as our larger societies we should encourage those behaviors we find usable. Just as the tax code and coupons reward certain behaviors with economic incentives, we can do the same. Cobblestones are the currency of the realm and this is what we can use to reward behavior that we want ... assuming that we fix some other systemic issues. Quickly, assume we decide we that this is a good thing. Further assume that we want the broadest possible attachments and processing of work (widest spread of projects) For the first 10 project we grant 1%, the next 10, 0.5%, and for the next 10, 0.25% and for any additional above that 0.125% ... Order the monthly awards sort the list in inverse order and then award ... thus the projects to which least credit is earned is the one used to gain the 1% award. This to pacify those that seem to feel that any cobblestone earned by a participant comes right out of their grocery budget. It will also serve to even out the resource share assignments. _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
