There are definitely a lot of things to consider when you are launching something like that. I have been thinking about a couple communities that I run and what it might take to make them a little more mainstream. I think having some kind of manual voting is probably the way to go, but that will likely cost some money. I also think that delegating to earn the tokens is a solid strategy. I'm going to have to keep this post saved and come back to it.
