Larger arrows. My #1 feature wish. Why do I have 10 points just for signing up?

  On the to do list, he says that he intends to transfer karma to the poster when you upvote something. So if you upvoted a link, you would be deducted one karma point and it would be given to the person who submitted the link. So, eventually it seems as if you'll need those 10 karma points to allow you to start voting.

    This looks like a good idea to encourage contributing instead of simply lurking around and voting things down. But LN will have to be careful with the economics of karma, because otherwise people might become reluctant to vote for fear of losing karma.

      Don't worry, that is what throwaway accounts will be for. Karma will accumulate in the system. Maybe there have to be some mechanism in place that redistribute it from people that doesn't use their karma, though.

      It could just track total karma vs unspent karma.
