Numbers can be titrated, so at 5% the monthly SNT "tap multiplier" is 20%, whereas at 50% it might be 5%, etc. This incentivized people to opt in to this other structure more quickly.
Stage 1 Aggressive scale:
Tiny: 1%
Small: 2.5%
Decent: 5%
Medium: 10%
Aggressive: 20%
Reckless: 50%
WTFBBQNAU: 100%
Assuming 100 core contributors at 100k/y or 10k/m (super rough round numbers), for a burn of $1m/m, 'decent' would come out to at ~50k/m. As an example of calibration, SITG 1 experiment around dogfooding^Hchampagne drinking is at around ~10k (free additionally money right now).
Proposed incentive for matching donations:
Tiny: 10x (already done)
Small: 4x
Decent: 2x
Medium: 1.5x
Aggressive: 1.2x
Reckless: 1.1x
WTFBBQNAU: 1.05x
This works as a form of 'inverse regressive tax'. It's not exclusive with other types of solution This would mean the total capital cost to Status would be:
1*10=10%; (2.5-1)*4=6%; (5-2.5)*2=5%; (10-5)*1.5=7.5%; (20-10)*1.2=12%; (50-20)*1.1=33%; (100-50)=52.5%;
I.e. in total 10+6+5+7.5+12+33+52.5=126% or roughly 25% premium for (a) moving completely from USD to SNT (b) having more fine-grained control over funds and outcomes in a decentralization fashion. Of course, specific numbers can be tweaked but as a rough example.
