			# '''I check my dashboard''': it is intended to show my Rewards and the subscription revenue generated so far.
			# '''I choose my cashout method''': the money would arrive automatically, or on demand.
			# '''I receive the money''': payments are intended to be made in tranches of CHF 100, at the pace of the subscriptions generated by the pilot experiments. No guarantee: see [[#not-enough-users\|question 8]].

	Then redistribution slows down or does not occur. Rewards are conditional by design: they convert into value only at the pace of user [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions\|subscriptions]], and there is no guarantee that there will be many users. This conditionality is central to the model's non-speculative design: no fixed return is promised to anyone.		Then redistribution slows down or does not occur.

			== 8bis. When could I see money back? ==
			There is no guaranteed date. An indicative, non-binding projection illustrates one possible trajectory: in the order of 100,000 subscribing users after 24 months, 2 million after 36 months, 8 million after 48 months and 20 million after 60 months. With an average of about 5 million users paying around CHF 10 per year, subscription revenue would allow Rewards to be cashed out at the 25% allocation rate (or pro rata of actual adoption) over an average horizon of 3 to 4 years. These figures are purely illustrative: see the full chapter [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards#How long to cash out? Indicative trajectory (no guarantee)\|Indicative trajectory on the Rewards page]].
