Austin from Manifold here—thanks for the shoutout! I would also note on a personal level that Good Heart tokens led me to read/post a lot more on LessWrong than I do on a normal day.
Manifold’s already kind of evolving into a forum/discussion site stapled to a prediction market, and spending our currency kind of looks like an upvote if you squint (especially in Free Response markets; placing a bet on an answer is very very similar to upvoting an answer on LessWrong/StackOverflow/Quora).

Incidentally, I’ve also had the same idea for combining impact certs with karma. See here: https://manifold.markets/Austin/will-manifold-implement-retroactive . Would love to find time to chat more on these ideas; feel free to find a time here!
