I am not one to gamble often, this appears to be something I would have a hard time with unless risk was minimal.
I personally like the idea of giving everyone who contributes a chance to win (I really like YahooAnswers). The trick would be to find some way to award people points for asking the question, answering it. That something could be like Cryptsy and Yahoo points where activity is rewarded, then have them be redeemable for coins (like BitCoin, LiteCoin, SecureCoin...etc from sponsors). If there is a flood of users because of the great influx of different currencies, then so be it...it brings more activity to the ecosystem (which adds to the network effect anyway). If someone cheats to get correct answers to people...that are voted up by the community...then I don't care about cheating, because in the system the right answer wins. Accepting multiple currencies would add free cash flow and would give incentive to learn about different coins before choosing them as payment. Algorithms would need to be created/utilized to calculate weighted differences in prices for different coins or it could even offer the option of being put in the genesis block of the most important code forks and provide vanity that come with that level of trust. A good way to model incentives is to look back to good ol' psychology 101:

I have no idea how to keep cheating out of the picture, some minds will always look for a way to get an edge by cheating.
If there can be a way to make cheating add something to the economy it would help negate the downsides. Potentially, a bounty could be put out on finding "ways to cheat"...anyone who can prove it first and give a provable means of establishing a baseline for the economic energy stolen from the community from them maximizing their profits from cheating will receive a reward 2x what they would make in a year of cheating. That would give incentive for people to find new ways of cheating, to submit tickets and give their search urgency.
Also...are all DACs connected to project Keyhotee? As in, you need a Keyhotee ID to invest in a DAC or utilize the services of a DAC? Is Keyhotee a kind of a Fork in the Web? Sometimes I think we are moving in that direction...and if we are, then DACs could give their own Keyhotee ID benefits to people who earn great levels of trust in the system.
