== How the cash-out works ==

People take [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions|subscriptions]] to use WikiDeal, and each subscription paid is redistributed across all the holders of activated [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/~~Rewards~~|~~Rewards~~]], pro rata of the ~~Rewards~~ they hold.

People take [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscriptions|subscriptions]] to use WikiDeal, and each subscription paid is redistributed across all the holders of activated [[Gov/en/Portal:Economy/Subscription Tokens|Subscription Tokens]], pro rata of the Subscription Tokens they hold.

Concretely: if ~~Rewards~~ have already been activated through donations and early supporter contributions for, say, 30 or 40 million, then one franc of subscription is distributed in one thirty-millionth per ~~Reward~~ across all holders. That is very little, but it is not zero either: holders see their money grow progressively. They see the cash-out grow.

== Three options for the cash-out percentage ==

Three options are envisaged for the percentage of each WikiDeal subscription that is attributed to the cash-out of ~~Rewards~~:

Three options are envisaged for the percentage of each WikiDeal subscription that is attributed to the cash-out of Subscription Tokens:

# '''100%''': all subscription money goes to covering the cash-out of ~~Rewards~~. This option is considered unlikely, because it raises a dilemma: repaying the commitments first, at the risk of fragilizing the operating costs of the platform (operating costs do exist).

# '''100%''': all subscription money goes to covering the cash-out of Subscription Tokens. This option is considered unlikely, because it raises a dilemma: repaying the commitments first, at the risk of fragilizing the operating costs of the platform (operating costs do exist).

# '''A fixed percentage''', estimated at 50%.

# '''A degressive percentage''': it would start at 100% and progressively decrease to 1% as holders receive their cash-out, so the cash-out goes slower and slower over time.
