@lafetaylor2 @soulmutbuttas @brandondees @mrbernnz thoughts on GitCoin being used for OSS sponsorship?
don't know enough of the nitty gritty to judge yet but i like the concept in theory for sure. i've been waiting for a "payment negotiated per PR / issue closed" bounty system as a possible way to provide more optimal value per dollar for our client work, but nothing i've seen yet seems to really provide a full story for that yet. gitcoin is definitely the most interesting thing i've seen so far on that front and i just have to get around to fully understanding it. it's ethereum based which is both advantageous for adoption and also a potential liability in terms of how the smart contracts involved could potentially be flawed, as we've seen many so far turn out to be.
@lafetaylor2 @brandondees more like a thought than a real issue. On second thought...this is actually a REAL issue. We been trying to figure out how to compensate open source work since Richard Stallman. Ain't that right @brandondees ?
