Ask HN: Any success stories with token-based employee incentives?

I’m considering a job at a blockchain startup, which is offering tokens (not yet created or issued) instead of equity. I understand equity, you make money if you get bought out or go public, but I am skeptical of tokens especially now that the crypto-bubble has burst. If the tokens are issued and eventually listed, what are the economics of how or why the price would actually rise? Does anyone have any success stories where this actually worked out for them (with a legit company)? Does anyone know of any good resources on this kind of compensation?

Launch HN: Aura Vision (YC W19) – Google Analytics for Physical Stores

We're Daniel, Jaime, and Jonathon - the founders of Aura Vision. ( https://auravision.ai ) Aura Vision is like Google Analytics for physical retail stores. Our mission is to ensure that physical retailers can innovate and improve their stores with data, in the same way their eCommerce counterparts do, while protecting customer privacy. Retail teams often know very little about what shoppers do in-store leading up to a purchase. To try to increase sales, they change layouts, products, and media in their shops based on anecdotal knowledge, and experience.

Many retailers periodically place people in doorways with clipboards recording shopper demographics and behaviours, which of course is costly and not very scalable. We use existing security cameras in stores to detect the demographics (age, gender, staff/customer) and behaviour of all visitors using our proprietary co
