Big fan of the reverse Dutch auction, just posted about your article earlier didn’t realize you’re on here too. Would love to see this in action

Also think you can improve the incentive design by offering rewards if the settling price is < X

So as a project you have an incentive to spend as little as possible on rewarding voters otherwise the barriers to adopt this would be too high imo. So you ideally want to keep the settling price (X) low. 

To do that you could offer rewards to voters if X < your threshold. Example: donation to charity

Nice! It would be awesome to see a project try it out so we can learn from the experiment. 

Can you say more on the rewards with settling price < X? Not totally sure I grok yet
