Maybe you could weight contributions differently, depending on what kind of behavior you want to encourage? For example you could make first contributions worth double, or have first contributions gain a bonus of x shares, which they can cash in/withdraw after their 5th/nth contribution, or something?

That encourages new-account spam. Maybe you could make them wait, like a "signing bonus", for a month? or until their third contribution?

Yes, that's what I suggested, actually.
