Given the small number of actual transactions, it looks like it was
never very popular. It's interesting to me that even this wasn't a
top-down approach, unlike a lot of more common reward systems. But it
does have another characteristic that the "Punished by Rewards" author
warns against, which is using rewards to manipulate others for your own
ends.
Thanks again for pointing this out.
