I can fiddle around with the parameters to find ones that give a behaviour you like. It's quite tricky to strike a balance that's fair without being too easy.\r\n\r\nHad a look at the upvote values for the top posts of all time in memeconomy. Played around with the function parameters to generate something more reasonable based on the sub's history and typical upvotes we might actually expect to see.\r\n\r\nNew function break even now at 74/75 upvotes, but you don't double your money til around 360 upvotes. After that it levels off and the triple-return point isn't til 905 upvotes. If you want to make 5 times your money back, the post would need to gain nearly 2900 upvotes.\r\n\r\nIf you invested in the highest-upvoted post of all time in the sub back when it was at 1 upvote, you'd get roughly 21x your money back.
