I agree

Proportionate ownership based on money spent and time passed!

$\dpi{150} Percent \ \ Ownership = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{N}m_ie^{\frac{-t_i}{\sigma}}}{\sum_{j=1}^{K}\sum_{m=1}^{N_k}m_{jm}e^{\frac{-t_{jm}}{\sigma}}}$

a simple formula I might suggest. m(i) is the money invested for a particular month, t(i) is how many months ago the investment was made.
N is the set of investments for who we want to know their percent of ownership (m, t couples)
K is the set of people who make investments
N_k is the set of investments for a particular person in K

It favors investments in yahooka made more recently, where the sigma in the exponent can be tweaked to our liking. For example, sigma = 4, after 6 months the investment loses about 75% of its weighting - increase sigma and you increase how long an investment keeps its value over time.

And maybe introduce something that says like, 50% of the total ownership is determined by the initial cost in buying the domain name, and that part of it doesn't decay with time.
