A prototype of something like that would be fairly straightforward to build imo. It's not far off conceptually from some contracts we've already built https://github.com/ideal-lab5/contracts/blob/main/examples/transmutation/lib.rs
This also seems to relate to the prize discovery topic Shawn Tabrizi started in the forum. I'd be interested to integrate something like that with pallet-referenda and allow special kinds of proposals meant to discover a value(a prize in this case) to then be used as input of a regular payment proposal that considers a "secret minimum amount" a proponent previously submitted.
@olanod yup. shared concept a while back here https://forum.polkadot.network/t/kusama-rfc-pay-what-you-want/3709
would be a fun experiment and as @driemworks says could be very quick to implement an interesting experiment.
I elaborated on some further specifics here, with some inspiration from Shawn's usage of the median (rather than average) in the forum post above: https://hackmd.io/@Y5vcBYL4SyeRG_CqQq0DoQ/rypzvOHq0 .
In general people agree that common good treasuries should spend on something - so far so good.
Sadly, beyond that it’s a free for all of subjective opinion.
Most contentious of all is the funding amount - if you want to trigger people, just set your request to anything above $10k and watch the treasury guardians implode.
Solution
The aim is to hack together an approach where we merge elements of Gov1 - amount set by median of council tips, with Gov2’s open tracks and referendums.
Have already explored with Ideal Network whose new Kusama pallet + bridge enables some of this stuff via timelock encryption.
