How to let users give limited points to a story (Drupal6)

Hi Everyone!
I'm new to Drupal, and trying to figure out a way to do the following things:
- Have an API to give points to users, I will later connect it to a payment mechanism
- The users can give a part of all of their points to stories
- A view can then show the most voted stories in the site
Does anyone have an idea how to do that?
I thought about the userpoints module, but it doesn't work with Drupal 6.x, is it worth downgrading just for this module or are there other solutions?
Thanks

as of the time of this comment, there does seem to be a -dev version for Drupal 6.x of userpoints.module that you can test and help report feeback on. Which would also help the module move forward with regards to porting and releasing a major point release.
There is the using of core Drupal 5.x option you've mentioned.
The only other option you have is to write your own, which would seem to me to take longer than working the bugs (if any are found) out of the -dev version even if all you can do is report on the bugs themselves. (always check the issue queue to try and make sure you aren't duplicating an already exisiting report)
Other (similar) options that I know of and may be worth investigation:
There is a karma.module in the downloads area as well, and I don't know if that includes the feature set you wish with regards to using the points as payment.
