Abstract: Techniques to increase a speed of a growth of a service are disclosed. User-specific information is dynamically calculated for each of a plurality of users of the service while each of the plurality of users is accessing the service. The user-specific information includes scores associated with the plurality of users. The scores represent combined values of points associated with each of a set of scoring activities performed by each of the plurality of users with respect to the service. Designated users are identified from the plurality of users based on a determination that one or more qualifying criteria have been satisfied. A transferring of a value to each of the one or more identified designated users is initiated based on a determination that one or more granting criteria have been satisfied.

Abstract: Techniques are described for tracking users of a service, and identifying designated users based on various criteria. Criteria for identifying designated users can include whether the users registered for the service prior to a deadline, and/or whether the users are among the first predetermined number of users to register. Designated users can also be identified based on activities performed by users through the service. Value, such as at least a portion of a share in an entity associated with the service, can be transferred to each of the designated users (e.g., through a network transfer) based on the evaluation of parameters such as whether the number of designated users reaches a predetermined threshold number, and/or whether the number of designated users reaches the predetermined threshold number no later than a predetermined deadline.
