This is a really cool idea. Obviously we still need to trust people. I hope not too many try to spoil it with fake votes. The evidence will be there to show that
Yes, trust and fair play are definitely needed to make this successful. But if it works, it is a really cool addition and can prove the awesomeness of this community.
Maybe if a bid required a vote and/or transfer it would weed out the fakes. I'm sure it will develop in time
That's an interesting idea! Like in an "American Auction", where every bidder instantly pays the difference to the previous highest bid.
