They do the work, complete the project, send me an invoice, I pay. Tada. Repeat business.

Just to clarify, I was that 30% guy. I come with plenty of professional references that I offered to introduce him to. I am not 'well known' by too many on these forums yet, but I work behind the scenes and keep my mouth shut most of the time.
I offered to do the full project and demo the script at the end, then take payment before releasing source code.
It's all business, though, if he decides to go somewhere else.
I wish you luck on your search. I hope you don't get stuck with a third world programmer who'll do your job cheaper than I, but will be nowhere to be found in a few months' time when you need help on the script. It's happened to others I know
