I am working on something where users will be given revenue from whatever I earn due to their efforts.

But problem I am facing is my users are from all over the world and every country has different taxation law. And there is no proper service to pay my users except paypal (whose credibility is getting worse day by day).

I did a startup like this once... Unfortunately, I discovered that most people weren't motivated by money the way I assumed they were.

This is a question of scale. a few bucks for writing ehow articles or squidoo lenses, not many people motivated or interested, but $1000 week driving for Uber, and suddenly you have a business.

Youtube is driven much more by social incentive and the need to express oneself...the revshare is not the primary driver.

Thats because you can both have fun and become successful at the same time.

The thing I am targeting is going to be used by normal internet users who dont know what bitcoin is. So cant work.

I enjoyed your brief yet subtle satire there.
