Hey, we have a couple of more questions:
What is the purpose of tipping?
- User gains a bigger "share" of the community/ has more monetary value to also tip and buy subscriptions?
- Or is the purpose of tipping increasing the status of the user (similar to karma)
Voting
- is the voting power based on the distributed CPs to the user (through claims by reddit)
- OR based on the current balance of the CP (the user gains more voting power by receiving CP through tipping i.e.)
User Balance
- Should all balances of all users be publicly available?
- Or should the "explorer" only show the user's balances and interactions (tipping, payments, subscriptions)
- *All the questions above relate to the following underlying question: Does the user need to prove his current balance to any other entity at any point in time? (Assuming the fact that the user cannot make payments if he does not have enough balance or double spend, etc.)**

Both
​
Voting
The formula is: `min(earned points, current balance)`
​
User Balance
Ideally, all balances and interactions should be publicly available, in order to show balances next to usernames and inspect/debug transactions.
