IMHO, the concept might be more intuitively named "square-root voting" :-)
It's very interesting to note that the vote count scales/renormalizes with the population in analogy with the law of large numbers [1]. I wonder whether that would imply pathologies in cases with strongly correlated preferences, as opposed to randomly generated weak/uncorrelated preferences.

- timdaub 5y agoI'd call it square root voting if there isn't any assumptiom about how often a single identity is eligible to vote. E.g. for most of the crypto space, they do square root voting but claim to be quadratic.
