Ideally the larger reward pool will elicit more zaps and offset the downzaps. 

One of the problems with that is we know the targets of the downzaps, which makes the Keynesian Beauty Contest dynamic more problematic.

I'm supportive of continuing the experiment, and believe in the idea at a conceptual level.

The solution to trolls should be more tools to tailor your own experience, and sorting by downsats is a good step.

I suppose some decisions need to get made about what the 

 experience will look like, esp for new and not logged in users.  But that's a lot of money for a troll to spend to influence the experience of non-commital users only.  And every bad-faith downzap is actually a net resource contribution to other stackers, so while we may dislike the effect it has on rankings, we can't complain about big reward pools.
