allocating “tips” on the comments of a particular market
And in the latter scenario, we had been thinking of a matching pool-less approach of redistributing contributions according to the quadratic funding equation. But of course, the downside of “I wanted to tip X but the commenter is getting less!” always is kind of weird. I like this idea of proportionally increasing commitments out of a particular limit, it seems like a much easier psychological sell.
Really appreciate the animations btw—super helpful for giving a visual intuition for how this works!
Specifically, we actually DO have a matching pool, but there are some properties of fixed-matching-pool QF that is not super desirable; aka it turns into a zero-sum competition for the fixed pool. We’re trying to address this with a growing matching pool, would love to see if your mechanism here is the right fix.

Very cool! Manifold has been considering quadratic funding for a couple situations:
distributing payouts to charities http://manifold.markets/charity

Awesome!
I’d love to see the idea tested in a real world situation. I’d be happy to help with building this system if you want :)
Hey Filip! I’ve been working on an implementation of QF for Manifold! Preview: https://prod-git-quadfund-mantic.vercel.app/charity
