People who wish to appear in a list of donors can ask for it: this is strictly an '''opt-in''' choice (never opt-out), proposed at the moment of the donation ("Would you like your first and last name to appear in the list of donors?").

== 10. Concretely, how much does one activated Reward earn when someone subscribes? ==
'''Each subscription franc is shared equally between all activated Rewards of each group.'''
Subscription income follows the [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Revenue-Structure|25/25/50 rule]]: 25% to donors, 25% to Early Supporters, 50% to the operations of the project. Within each group, the share is divided by the number of Rewards activated at that moment — only activated Rewards participate (see question 1).
'''Worked example (proposed as an illustration):''' suppose that, at a given date, half of the expected first million has been raised (CHF 500,000) and donors hold 37 million activated Rewards. A subscriber pays CHF 1. The donors' share is CHF 0.25, divided by 37 million: each activated donor Reward is credited CHF 0.25 / 37,000,000 — a 37-millionth fraction per franc. This looks tiny per event, but it accumulates with every subscriber, every month. Since [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Rewards|1 Reward = CHF 1 when cashed out]], your promised Rewards convert 1:1 into your cash-out balance as these credits accumulate, and transfers become possible from CHF 100.
The more subscribers WikiDeal gains (for example a taxi driver paying CHF 10/year in exchange for much lower per-ride commissions than on incumbent platforms), the faster activated Rewards are compensated. This goes in this tendency and is the model currently proposed; figures in the example are purely illustrative.
