[QUOTE="SJCRussell, post: 172194, member: 277"] This is unexpected (and maybe unnecessary as the success of the site to date suggests we get enough value out of Saverocity without an additional incentive). Here are some thoughts on this: [LIST=1] [*]Sadly for most things like this 'free' is actually a problem, and I'd advocate you consider something that ties to a specific measurable contribution. The simplest one is using the 'Premium Supporter' (not an award on becoming one, but maybe on an annual basis) and then add a second level of 'awards' at your discretion where you use your own unpublished metrics so they can't be gamed. You could even have an application for award consideration so that no one gets missed out for your review. [*]Options vs. stock is smart (for many reasons), but ensure they are non-transferable and have an expiry (you can always choose to renew them), and have a very nominal value per share, like $0.000001 [*]Vest on liquidity is also smart. Even with this there is no reason you cannot apply a dividend at any time, if you so wished. [*]Of your 10% pool for members only schedule a fraction of that for distribution in the first years so you have some left for future years, where you can do stock splits to ensure you have a large enough number of units. [*]Have fun with this - It's your baby! [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
