If I gave you 10 Mahalo dollars and ask that you give it away to anyone here, how much would you give away, and how much would you keep?

What is your reasoning?

I did not say I would do this. I am just conducting an experiment.

Tip for best answer: M$0.23
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I would give it all to someone that gave a really well-informed answer and did not seem to be getting any credit for the answer. This is often the case for people that leave long, impressive, thought-provoking answers and happen to do it a day or so after the initial knee-jerk run of answers have been submitted. By this time, there is usually a decent answer that has 5 or 6 "up votes," and the awesome answer is sitting at the bottom of the page with 0 because nobody saw it because it was submitted late. I am rarely on this site, so I play catch-up and look at completed answers. I would give it to someone that had the best answer but didn't receive "Best Answer."

10 Mahalo dollars are basically worthless, and I would do the same if it were 100 Mahalo dollars. 100 even seem rather worthless to me, and if you just sent it to me randomly, I would have no problem tipping someone 100.

If you said $1,000, this would change things, and honestly (and quite strangely) I would keep it all.

I would give away every dime of the 10 Mahalo Dollars.
Why? What is my reasoning? Firstly, it makes me happy to give money away to folks and second, here at Mahalo Answers giving money to people is really more of a give and take.. I add money to questions I ask or add money to the questions of others I would like to see get answered and 99% of the time the Mahalo Answers community comes through with some pretty fantastic research, information, deduction, and informed opinion.. sometimes I get far more than I have "paid" for in the answer department...and lastly I just do not need these Mahalo Dollars for anything else but asking questions and having fun here in Mahalo Answers.

If you gave me M$10 and asked me to spread it around the community... I would. Plain and simple.

This month I cashed out completely for the first time. I usually leave some money to play with in my account so I can team tip and put money on my own questions. It felt weird not having any money on Mahalo.
I felt sad and poor... only because I'm used to spreading the wealth around here.

I'm okay now, I've got answers coming in, but it was hard for a few days not to be able to use money like I'm used to in the community.

I have been given money before from Mahalo with the explicit purpose of spreading around and had no problem doing so before, so you could count on me to do as you wish.

*bunny money is always fun

I would convince Mike Bracco to do a 10 dollar cash-out then i would skip town with all that fake money, which would be under 7 dollars after all the fees. I could make it ten, maybe even twenty miles away!

Well actually that plan might be a little lofty. In reality I would use all ten for a contest question, there kinda fun.

If I kept the money It would be easy for you to see that I did not do what you asked. Then you would likely tell others, stealing the money would just be to grimey for any respected mahalo member.

I like your style of questions, two great ones today!

A related question:

If I gave you 10 Mahalo dollars and ask that you give it away to anyone here ANONYMOUSLY, how much would you give away, and how much would you keep? No one here will know who you gave the money to, or whether you kept it yourself. The person receiving the money would also not know who it came from.

Well, following the Mahalo tradition, M$1 is only worth $0.75 of give away dollars. So, in the end, I would only be able to give away M$7.50, the remaining M$2.50 would be absorbed by my services!

I would ask you if it would be OK to ask a ten dollar question.

If you said yes I would a $10 writing challenge to inspire people to write short stories.

If you said no, I would pick someone fun and give them all 10 per the request.

I will give it all to someone as a tip, a user who needs to cashout but short of the limit amount (but very close to the limit) on this final payout because they deserve to get what they earned here (anyone deserves to be paid what they have earned, isn't it?). I know there are many who needs to be paid but cannot reach the amount limit ( i'm one of them, not so close ) until the end of July. My problem is I don't know the M$ balances of each user. I am sure we are not "bad actors" as Jason insinuated on his comment on this Q: http://www.mahalo.com/answers/what-changes-were-made-in-this-latest-mahalo-update-july-15-16 , just because we want to cashout. Also, not all who wants to cashout this month are leaving Mahalo.

Please update us what comes up with your experiment. Thanks, @duenhsiyen for this Question.
