A monetisation system for badges.

Users can buy badges using payment processors.

Users can gift the badges to others, who can cash them out for their redeem value.

User A buys ROFLMAO badge for 0.99, gifts it to user B - user B can return/redeem it for .90

Users can top up a wallet so they can purchase and gift on the fly directly from content.

I like this. Very good idea!! Integrated currency system from the get go, can be turned off and ignored or made use of. Really like it.

Yeah, that's the idea. I was thinking if we make something like social groups, we would essentially cater to "reddit" users.

Absolutely, yeah, lots we could do with social groups!

I've played around with this on some Proboards forums. Sometimes on there you can purchase something such as "snowball" and can throw/gift it to 5-10 other members.

Their badges usually range from $1-$3.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much what we're aiming for, to have a bit of fun with them and make them spreadable
