Shares
I was thinking that if this project was financed by the "crowd", each backer of the project would hold some shares (maybe tokens?). So the profit share that would go to investors would be distributed to all shareholders - like in a normal company.
people are confusing smart contracts with fund raising techniques. i am not blaming you, it is how the smart contract platforms such as ethereum have been designed and their survival depends on these pump and dumps.
if you think about it, your business has nothing to do with a "token". how would you distribute any kind of profit to shareholders when the token is being pumped and dumped in a manipulated altcoin market easily by the pumpers? YOU don't control the price!
