This is good. A viral component puts the strategy into a whole new category.
What did you think of Elon Musk's strategy where everyone got $10 for signing up and $10 for each person they signed up?
Theoretically, a million dollars could motivate maybe 50,000 sign-ups...
Of course, we'd have to decide what it means to "sign up". Getting 50,000 users for Keyhotee waiting for all our DACs to plop into their wallets would seem to take things to another level...
Combine that with your idea - competing to be the most private/secure communities, for example - would be a nice synergy.
The sign up idea is interesting, but I see some messy issues with it. If all it takes is signing up, a high percentage are likely to sign up and cash out without taking time to learn why they should stay. Also we certainly don't want to pay some guy a million dollars to create 50,000 spam accounts on our chain, but at the same time any sort of identity verification to prevent that will be terribly unpopular in this field...
If the stake is based on snapshots of chains, but claimed through Keyhotee, then we could eliminate the profitability of dummy accounts and retain the benefits of requiring account creation. Some would still claim their share just to sell it, but selecting the chains based on expressed demand should still help that some.
I think the more complicated and drawn out the distribution strategy, the greater the risk of negative public opinion on this.
