Through the decentralised and monetising answering mechanism -

it stops the information of the answers from being tainted because of the agenda or other monetary goals of a power central authority.
More people are encouraged to join and participate in the network leading to better quality of information.
it provides a much better answer for a specific question as the answer verifiers (voters) are incentivised.
it provides open answers for everyone not controlled by any central authority.
We have taken a lot of measure in our architecture so that neither the voters nor the question askers are able to take unfair advantage of the system

WorkFlow -

A user (questioner) adds the Question, its target number of votes and the bounty.
Another user (answerer) answers this question.
Other users (voters) upvote the answer they like.
The answer which first reaches the target is chosen and bounty is dispersed to answerer and the voters (in proportional to their individual rating).
The questioner is finally asked to rate the selected answer and if the answer rating is bad the individual rating of the voters is decreased.
