@eksai:
I hope it doesn't appear that we are coming off as anti-your-idea. The fact is we as developers have done quite a lot of business (combined, among those that have responded to you) for people that are in your position. This offer you make is, I'm sure, not the first time that one of has seen an offer like it. I know that from the sound of the responses it may seem that we may not like your idea or your approach, and perhaps that is the case with some of the respondents in this thread, but many of us have experience in situations like this. Hence, we ask the questions that lead us to making a quality decision about your product.
For the record, many of us are very skilled PHP/web application developers. For some of us it is our only means of providing for our families. For others it is a hobby that has led to side business that have provided for us. In all cases, those of us who have responded have done so in part because we are trying to get a feel for what you are offering and trying, as best we can from what information you have given, to develop an assessment of the benefit of taking a stab at your project.
Given the vagueness of the information that you have presented, I myself, would probably decline to submit a bid for your project. I suspect others in this thread would probably decline as well seeing as many of us use our talents as a source of income. Few of use work for free or for promise of future payment as it is just not practical for us to do so.
Personally, I hope your project works out for you with whomever you select as your developer. I like it when business ideas pan out. So again, I bid you good luck.
