How '''[[edits]], [[voting|votes]] and [[betting|bets]]''' affect the [[Consumerium buying signal]] (via the [[Signal Wiki]] directly and the [[Research Wiki]] indirectly) is up for debate.  ''See [[Opinion Wiki]], the old name for the research wiki, for a more complete description of functions.''
 
This is probably the design issue that is hardest to resolve, as different [[faction]]s typically view these in quite a different manner.  It is possible to manage it as a trusted [[priestly hierarchy]] as [[Wikipedia]] does, but this degrades the [[dissensus]].  It is possible to have [[faction]]s compete in a '''voting''' system, but this values poor contributors as much as good ones.  It is possible to create a [[revert currency]] and do [[betting]] in it, or in cash even, but this is just another system suitable for hacking.  None of these options is perfect, and combining them in any way creates something new that the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] can't be quite sure will work.
 
However, when designing something complex like [[Consumerium]], complex choices have to be made.  ''See [[life exchange]] for an example of tough choices that are expressed directly and honestly in such a system, to get an idea of how controversial it might be to relate edits, votes and bets to life and death decisions.''
