Just tossing an idea out there that we're thinking about implementing at the web development company where I work.
Currently, we're set up operating via a very autonomous agile team structure. Right now, teams who complete a project ahead of time or under budget get a larger share of the profits. Also, team members rate each other weekly in a transparent way, so that all the comments and "percent" contributions are public and discussion is encouraged. So if you weren't pulling your weight this week as a team member, I might give you an "80%", and that score, averaged based on what each member indicated, determines my weekly bonus. "100%" is the standard, most of the time, and lower or higher are the exceptions to the rules.
So basically, we're thinking about switching this percentage-effort based system to a BTC quota system. So essentially we each have x bitcoin to give away per week, and we get to distribute that as we see fit.
I've been looking for a reason to create a bitcoin-based tool, so I'm thinking about writing a hubot plugin that will allow us to give out the bitcoin just by leaving a comment in our IRC chat during the weekly retrospective, kinda like the bitcointip bot
