"and neither side gets a reward."
The reward is mathematically proportional to your VP. Continuing to claim this is false and demonstrates a lack of understanding of the mathematical reality involved.
It is also 100% contradictory to the whole basis of your argument above of "monetary relativity":
"so you have a different concept of relevant money than I do."
Your argument is internally inconsistent.
If someone votes 30 times in a day and gets only 5 rewards for that day - what happened to the other 25 votes? This is what I see repeatedly with little minnows.
I'm in the third world - a small amount of money means more here than it would in the first world. This is the relevance factor I am describing.
