$DEGEN

It feels like the tipping mechanics are too PvP right now. We want your suggestions on making them more positive-sum. Banning users for bad behavior hasn’t worked, so how can we tweak the tipping mechanics to encourage positive interactions instead? Share your ideas! @cadillion

This is another kind of crazy one, and it actually makes tipping more PVP, but I'm nerdsniping myself about it because I think it actually might be like asking the community to solve non-computable NP problems (something something detecting cyclical graphs):

What if you could detect tipping rings and divert the tips to someone else by identifying the members of the ring? We could call it RECYCLE because you're breaking the cycle 😎

We could then create a leaderboard of people whose tips have been recycled.

Eg
RECYCLE 200 DEGEN @jacek > @wake.eth > @cadillion => @0xen 
would steal 200 DEGEN from the jacek-wake-cadillion ring and gift it to 0xen

Maybe start giving out $degen grants to researchers that publish/cast/blog solutions to tipping?

The $degen experiment is novel - could maybe lead to some interesting research.

Definitely, maybe I'll raindrop a 6 figure bounty
