> There is no downvoting in this system, only upvoting. (How would you take bitcoin from someone?) A downvote is a transaction that costs like anything else, but you increase the cost of the downvote. For example, 2 karma to post (given to the owner of the node or community), 1 karma to upvote (goes directly to the OP), 2 karma to downvote (which allows you to subtract 1 karma from the OP - and all 3 karma go to the owner of the node or community).
