I think there are a few implicit assumptions in your post that could be examined for a better proposal. 1. Consensus of what is valid doesn't require a tradable and fungible token so adding that game element is not required for decentralization (and I suspect would decrease the value of the service to increase the value of the game, something people are increasingly complaining about) 2. Most posts on Hacker News are regarding trading information, which is a not a zero sum game, unlike the game mechanics you are proposing. Both sides can be right.
