Ahh Christ... looks like another week of 18 hour days coding to get my new app out before @davidpakman finds another avenue to get this sorted.... ;)

Paying via upvotes has been on my mind too, but since you're already working on that I focus somewhere else. When can we see what you've been cooking?
:) Well I've probably shelved the anti-vote farming idea for a while, as it seems there's been a strong community outcry about it, so hopefully it can be collectively nipped in the bud now.
What I'm working on is a steem version of a really popular Australian website called Airtasker (there's also a US version from Amazon). You post tasks that you need done, and a suggestion for how much you are willing to pay, and then people make offers to do your task for whatever amount they are comfortable with. The only difference here is that because of the transparency of the blockchain, everyone can find out how much everyone else is offering to do the job. So it's going to be very free market. I guess that fits the ethos of steem, so it could be a good fit.
edit to add: It's going to be with steem/sbd. We need as many services and products available in steem currency to really allow it to start generating organic value.
Interesting. Could I pay for the work with upvotes over long periods of time and it would be automated? I'd like to see more use cases for upvotes.
It's something to consider. At first it's going to be straight out payment. But if there's a way to work an upvote service into it, that could be something to explore. A lot of the bigger apps seem to have either a powered up bot to support the project's supporters, and/or a curation trail that supports supporters. Whenever I make a post over at chainbb I get like 70 upvotes (but unfortunately only for a few cents... ;) ).
