I’m sorry but who is actually minting blog or newsletter posts and why?

Idea: Instead of minting blog posts for collecting, we should be minting them for nominating!

Imagine the NYT Best Sellers but instead it's the Paragraph Best Bangers.

A fan of your essay could mint into a nomination pool with a 5 USDC fee (because that's the going rate for bangers), then once a month the best nomination wins the pool prize.

We could even bolt on a prediction market for fans to double down how good the banger is, and get some upside while further contributing to the prize with fees.

How is the winner chosen? MVP could be random, or a specific curator oracle like with Farcaster banger rewards, or a sortition committee aided by the prediction market, or something else?

I'd love to see lots of little Best Bangers nomination pools with different mechanics.

A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.
