This is so awesome! Congrats on having a #1 post, and thanks for explaining this. I'm really trying to understand this system thoroughly, both the UA scores in the first place and then also different possible uses of them, such as the steem-ua upvoting. I'm hoping there will be an SMT that uses UA in another application. I would love to see the scores used for deciding RCs, for example.

I think maybe it could be done with the current code (or currently planned HF21 code that brings in SMTs in the first place) because STINC already put in a mechanism for allocating additional RCs by giving just the power as if someone had more SP. You don't even have to delegate SP. Just share the RCs.

So an SMT could use UA scores to decide how much additional RC power someone gets. That way the ability to contribute on the platform would be decided by the value of the person's contributions as measured by the community's reaction to them.
