Comment on Why quadratic funding is not optimalparent

Comments

So I make 1,000,000 separate donations in the amount of $0.01?

Both QF and QV rely on verifying identity, so that would be counted as one donation of $10,000. The entire point is letting numbers of people balance in some way against amounts of money, so allowing one person to count multiple times breaks the system

I used to think the employer drives to contribute to the company's preferred charity were bad before QF; they’re bound to get a lot worse with it, giving power to employers with lots of employees and a willingness to encourage them to donate as little as a penny.

So I have to give it out and have people donate it on my behalf?

Total funding in this case would be: (sqrt(.01) * 1000000)^2 = 10 trillion dollars.

(10 billion, surely?)

Oh right: (sqrt(.01) * 1000000)^2 = 1.0e10
