The whole 'earn points for this' system seems like a good idea in general, but I wonder how appealing it will be for advertisers to buy coins that wind up having such an unstable price. By the time they make it to the consumer they could be worth half of what you paid for them. I imagine a simpler system would be more practical but the prospect of making tens of millions off of an ICO was just too appealing to pass up.
