RE: Why Not Encourage People To Blog More By Setting 500 SP Easter Eggs At 10K 20K 35K 70K 100K Posts?
I've always thought it would be fun to have awards for reaching different kinds of milestones, tied into achievement badges like the ones from @elyaque that I use on my blog posts. The one thing to be careful about here is people trying to cheat by posting worthless spam just to reach the milestones. But keeping them as hidden Easter eggs would solve that problem nicely. What a pleasant surprise it would be!
You must be psychic @cryptomancer :) I took the concept of badges from the World Community Grid that I also run on my PC - it runs projects that benefit humanity overall.

Nice! That looks like an interesting project, thanks for the link. Kind of reminds me of the old SETI@home initiative, a good way to do something useful with your spare CPU cycles.
I still do SETI from time to time and as well as Folding@Home and Enigma@Home - Total folding madness indeed! The original mining in my eyes ... and useful too :)
Indeed they are, feels good to be using spare computing power to make a positive contribution to society! Along those lines, you might consider looking into the VIVA economic system designed by @williambanks . It's still under construction but ultimately will allow people to do similar sorts of things with their computers (performing some useful computing task) and get paid a basic salary for it.
I will check out William's scheme @cryptomancer - many thanks :)
