I think we are talking about different things and talking over each other.

To clarify what I’m talking about: if you are selected for a 1 Btc grant and are a possible recipient, where you receive a x% of the grant based on the same x% of zap-votes you receive from your community in a specified period of time…

In this system people would be happy to spend all their day clicking boxes to get more grant money.

Instead a reputation system will ensure that anon zaps, zaps from users not integrated in the graph and self-funding yourself count significantly less than those zap votes coming from users integrated in the social graph.
