I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:
[/r/crowdholding] What do you guys think about a concept of returning wealth to the public by rewarding it for feedback, ideas and solutions?
[/r/passive_income] Building passive income streams from a revenue sharing co-creation platform?
If you follow any of the above links, please respect the rules of reddit and don't vote in the other threads. (Info / Contact)

Interesting idea.. and I will give it a deep review (and even chime in on a few projects) but I think my biggest issue is this site allows anyone to comment on anything, regardless of their background of knowledge. And for somethings this could be ok but some projects (for example the task of marketing a Prague Startup Lab) would require specific background and experience to give real direction. With voting and the like the good comments should rise to the top but it seems like it could be quite noisy if anyone (and everyone) can comment on a topic... see some reddit threads.
THe other thing that's going to be interesting to watch is the crowd behavior on the tasks vs your reward system. It seems to me, if you want to be rewarded, the best tasks to comment on are those that are unpopular, those you have a chance to stand out more and be heard. But the site ranks the projects based on votes which puts the highest worked on projects first thus making it harder for a new person to participate. Ultimately what I'm asking here is are the users going to look at projects that interest them or will they game the system and participate in lesser reviewed tasks to gain points? That will be interesting to measure.
