quadratictrust.com - a realtime QF twitter game

[owocki]

This is a spec for a game called Quadratic Trust

Quadratic Trust is basically Quadratic Funding, but instead of "funding" people with money, you fund them with clout. :)

Here's how it works.

1. go to quadratictrust.com.com
2. on landing page, see a leaderboard of the top 10 accounts (accounts = twitter). you can also see a search button prominently above the top 10 accounts, wherein you can enter a twitter username + autocomplete/find it. click 'fund' on any of them, and be taken to (3).
3. you are at quadratictrust.com/{handle} - you can see the persons twitter name, photo, and bio. and how many QD votes they have recevied. you can click a big CTA button that says "Delegate votes" => continue to (4)
4. if not authenticated, you are prompted to login via twitter
5. you can select a number of voting credits to "delegate" to {handle}; and the number of votes that would give them. the maximum number of voting credits you can spend is your follower count on twitter. every time you update your voting credit amount, you see an estimate of the amount of votes {handle} will receive.
   5a. if you delegate more votes than you have available, then votes are taken from the last person you voted for.
6. when you click 'go' you are prompted to tweet "I am voting for @{handle} with {credits_num} credits on quadraticdiplomacy.co"
7. when the tweet is sent, the votes are spent, and {handle climbs the leaderboard}.

other notes:

1. we need a way that people can revoke their current votes. i suggest adding a list of "current votes" to the form on (5) and allow people to undelegate votes while they process new votes.
2. at the top header, it should say "quadratictrust.co" in the logo bar, and 'created by NAMES' with twitter handle links in the top footer
3. at the top of the landing page it should say h1 "Quadratic Trust" - h3- "a realtime Quadratic Funding game, where you vote with your clout, not your $$$". p - "round 1 is worth $300 (1st place) $200 (2nd place) $100 (3rd place) as is live until X/Y/Z date - play below"
4. in the footer it should say "a gitcoin creation".

open questions, which we hope to solve in many successive rounds of QF clout games (above spec is just for round 1) Questions

• What is the value of social media exposure? To some companies, it might be important, to others, not at all.
• How do you account for bot followers or click farms?
• Could you include other non-social media actions instead? How do you verify these?

It would be great enable a custom tweet for each project/person to allow for more promotion. Eg. Instead of "I am voting for @{handle} with {credits_num} credits on http://quadraticdiplomacy.co"

do

"I'm voting with 10 creadits for @{handle}, a decentralized finance app for Ewoks! Check out their project on quadraticdiplomacy.co"

[AnneConnelly]

Perhaps call it Quadratic Endorsement or Quadratic Clout vs. Quadratic Diplomacy.

In the longer term, for #2, ideally the button to "support with clout" would be right on a gitcoin grant company profile near the donate button.

@owocki I would like to talk more about your vision. I like @AnneConnelly 's idea about the CTA (call to tweet?) messaging RE: bullet 6 to add product/project description for extra clout.
