I had a brief moment before I fell asleep wondering how to prevent someone from just reloading the page as others submitted their salary information, thus being able to know what salary mapped to what user by the order they show up. I see that you set a minimum limit on the number of users in a pool, have you addressed this once the pool grows beyond that size?
