No doubt mixing in financial reward with the idealistic purity of this Existential Relevance inquiry exposes all sorts of possibilities to contamination. "The love of money is the root of all evil" according to the Apostle Paul (I thought it was "money is the root of all evil," but I looked it up to make sure and got the foregoing). I would posit that either the ideas market and further development of this project is done as you say with a promise of future pay, or that any money awarded be of a token amount at the discretion of the author (you) or that a future table or even hierarchy of commendation be created in lieu of money. People may be motivated by small amounts or recognition almost as much as by big amounts in some cases.

Liquid democracy seems to be an idea encompassing your quest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_democracy whereby we assume decisions we are competent for.
