'''Level of Return (Donor's Choice):'''
			When making a donation, each donor freely chooses their desired level of return, ranging from 0% (a pure donation with no expected return) up to 100% of the maximum Rewards possible based on the bonding curve. The language and options provided during the donation process are designed to encourage pure donations or a simple return of the initial amount ("get back"), while reducing the motivation for seeking high yields.

@@ Line 60: / Line 60: @@
 The system is sized so that Rewards are fully honoured once the platform has reached CHF 100 million in cumulative collections. With roughly 1 million active users, reaching this could take on the order of 10 years.
-=== How long to cash out? (estimated, no guarantee) ===
+== How long to cash out? Indicative trajectory (no guarantee) ==
-The time needed to cash out Rewards depends entirely on how much the platform is used. Based on Wikipedia's success, we estimate it will take 1 to 2 years for the model to work. Assuming strong resistance or low initial community involvement, it could take up to 10 years, or it might never work at all. Therefore, the estimated average is '''3 to 4 years'''. Once the platform reaches approximately '''5 million users''', the process is essentially resolved within a maximum of 3 to 4 years.
