I was tickled last year by ’s “Patronage as an asset class,” which proposes a market-priced patronage “asset” by layering Harberger taxes (e.g. pay 5%/yr of last sale value) on top of NFTs. blog.simondlr.com/posts/patronag
Has this been tried (outside Simon’s demo) yet?

Longing for a Twitter edit button: the Harberger tax basis is on the *current* for-sale price, not the last sale value, and that difference is the critical key pricing efficiency mechanism.

Interesting to contrast the vibe of this kind of patronage with something like Patreon. The mechanism *requires* that patrons effectively publish their pledge price; the always-for-sale element discourages long-term community-building; highly legible profit motive is hmm…

If editing a tweet is allowed, what are the considerations related to the original tweet and its likes/replies/retweets/quotes?
- keep/remove/flag original tweet
- keep/remove/flag replies, etc.

Good design question. Not sure. Many platforms have experimented with variations, so I'd probably start by surveying those. Quick take:
- arbitrary edits allowed within first minute
- edits allowed within first day, with large badge
- 1+ day: you can append "errata" statements
