Again I do not see how there is limited upside for employees in the proposal as it is written, as the ECC can choose to do what I’ve written above:

> In the current proposal, ECC receives 7656 ZEC per month subject to the cap. Let’s say the average exchange rate is $50 USD / ZEC when this starts…so we’re not close to the cap. In what I’m describing ECC would consider some amount of ZEC spent for a collective pool for employees every month. For simplicity let’s assume its $100k a month, which would be 2000 ZEC. The ECC would incur a cost of $100k against their cap to supply 2000 ZEC into this retention pool every month.

> Again to keep things simple, let’s just say it stays at $50 USD / ZEC for a full year. Without any contracts you make to employees, you’d have 24000 ZEC in this pool **which would not be subject to any cap, since you already incurred the cost to fund the pool early on**.
> 
> Throughout the year, you hire 4 employees, and guarantee them each 4000 ZEC over a four year vesting cycle. You’d be able to guarantee **they have the full rights to that ZEC since you already incurred the cost and couldn’t use that ZEC for any other purpose**.

And if the cap is too low to provide employee upside there is a method to raise it, which requires ZF and community approval.
