I'm reminded of a bit from "The Sting", a movie about a big con.  A supplier is 
providing the uniforms and other props for the con, and during discussion the 
head of the con says "Ok, how do you want to be paid?  You want a cut, or flat 
rate?"

Supplier: Who's the mark?

Head: Doyle Lonnegan.

Supplier (with a disgusted look): Flat rate!

3. I'm aware of application programmers paid in similar way. However it is 
exception, not the rule. And usually they are paid "in futures", because the 
startup cannot afford regular salary.
