The art(?) collective MSCHF has come up with an interesting voting game, apparently based on an Athenian custom.

From the announcement:

——

In ancient Athenian ostracism, citizens would come together once a year and vote to banish one person from the city, on pain of death, for the next 10 years.

In MSCHF Plays Venmo, the sole winner of the "popular vote" wins the prize pool.

Those who receive the "ostracism vote" get banned from the game for life.

——

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I thought about buying in, just to be in the fray and see how it goes. But I suspect it will either suck up all my time for a stretch or I will miss a bunch of votes and suddenly realize I'm off the island.

Seems brilliant and sinister. The honey pot is over $108k now...
