Reddit has an annual "moderator summit", a rah! rah! yay for moderators! event for moderators, mostly of large or super large subreddits.

At last year's summit, Spez gave his 'keynote' talk where among other things he claimed that they were researching ways to pay moderators for their work, by giving them a cut of ... something. It was all sort of wonky and nebulous and likely just something he thought of that morning in the shower.

Is that what the subreddit coins or subredidt points idea was about?
