Money for love - Eeeeeethaan, you don't have to put on the red light
Idea 1 -- A big pile of gold. What if we had a “pile” of let’s say 10,000 USD and every gang-star (gang-stars are volunteers with a long history and commitment in P2PU, think of them like module owners or similar positions in open source projects) could charge a certain hourly rate against this pile for project relevant activities that they could define relatively freely. People would simply report hours and achievements online and at the end of each month we tally up and pay out. I really have no idea if this could work -- and can think of lots of potential problems (conflict between those who charge and those who work for free? who gets to say that someone is charging too much?).
Idea 2 -- Check the list. An alternative would be to outline specific projects that we need done and earmark budget for them -- and gang-stars can decide to take them on. that might be a little more structured and comprehensible -- and maybe with less potential to lead to conflict?
Idea 3 -- Make our own money. Or we could work with an imaginary currency (mullahs) and people accrue mullah’s for work they do. each month they can decide to trade mullahs for real money (1 mullah = 1 USD) or horde them for things like participation in the community meeting (1000 mullahs?).
