It might be a good idea in the long run to have a fixed amount of equity, so that equity grows in value and can become worthy. For example if I invest 100 bitcoins today which will buy me 10% profit share (valuing the site at 1000btc), and you are profiting 100 btc per month, then in 3 months from now you are profiting 1000 btc per month, and my initial 100 btc investment share would be worth 1000 btc. So not only I have gained dividends from the profit, but also multiplied my initial investment. This will allow future trading of shares of the dice site, and will also bring a higher reward to the early investors who committed their hard earned btc by believing in you and your site. Does it make sense?
It does make sense. Interesting points.
What I don't understand, and what seems to have gotten SatoshDice into trouble, is how do you grow the betting pool if you never release new shares? Suppose I say "no more investments once we reach 2000 BTC invested". Then the betting pool is 2000 forever? Profits are instantly taken out of the pool? Or do investors have the option of leaving their profits in, and so getting a bigger percentage of the site? And as an investor, can I take my investment out, or do I have to find someone to buy it from me?
I have the feeling there's a great idea in here somewhere, but I'm not seeing it clearly yet...
