Hi Regularfry,

I'm not sure what you mean?

You don't have to give up anything upfront (see my earlier post on Grunt Funds)

I love hearing problems like this! I just posted a book on this topic on Amazon.com, it's called Slicing Pie (mike moyer). The basic concept, called a Grunt Fund, is to account for the different contributions people make using hypothetical values. The % each person deserves is proportional to what they contribute relative to others. The point of the book is to address problems exactly like this.

Hi, I developed a model for equity sharing called a Grunt Fund. It makes sure everyone gets a share that is proportionate to what they contribute. The book is on amazon.com, it's called Slicing Pie (mike moyer)

Thanks for buying this book (it's mine). I was happy to see someone posted it to hacker news.
