#Open Source #Ethereum #GitCoin

https://thewhale.cc/posts/gitcoin

Gitcoin is an open source bounties platform on the Ethereum blockchain. It facilitate a space that allows open source developers to get paid for their work contributing to open source projects and in return, the open source projects get exposure to a vast community of hard working developers they might not have had otherwise.

Yesterday I rcv'd a novel Github-based scam. An empty repo was made w/ 500 identical issues announcing a "GitHub × Gitcoin Developer Fund", each w/ 30+ users tagged (~16k devs got it).

It relied on a masked URL to github-foundation.com (recently reg'd) vs grants.github.com.

W/in ~1hr a user commented all 500 issues w/ a warning that went into the email thread for all of em. Big public service imo. And whatdya know, the repo disappeared super fast after that.

It might be pleasurable, not to mention profitable, to establish a #GitCoin as a means to reward those who put in their time and effort to seek out #bugs in #OpenSource repositories published on #GitHub.

Also, an open-source, from-the-ground-up implementation of #cryptocurrency in Erlang using OTP might be fun, useful, and instructive.

The application window for these $50K - $300K grants being offered thru the #gitcoin ecosystem is open for a short while longer. Some grants are to build community garden type things.

I put about 140 dollars into gitcoin 2+ years ago, and it has not made a handsome return; do not plan to apply for any of these, though I see some good ideas here.
