It looks like funding all those sock puppets with coin would cost lots of money.
From the slides:
Sending 10 points to someone would require 10 addresses
with at least 2 points each. Creating 10 addresses with
2 points each would require 10 transactions of 4 points
each, meaning 40 points.
Those 10 addresses require the same funding amount whether from sock puppet accounts or from one account.
Perhaps it's not exponential though.

Unless you gained points before with your own content. Even if the price would be 4x the amount of the cost of other votes, it can't be a deterrent because 4x a little amount is still a little amount. If a vote costs 1 cent then the spammer would pay 4cent. Not a big deal.
