[ANN] Tip4Commit.com - support opensource projects, contribute and earn bitcoins

[sega01]

This is awesome! Of course, some commits can be worth more than others, but I think where this stands, it is an awesome concept.

I just made my first pull request to one of the sponsored projects.

And I accepted it.

Tip4Commit is Open Source now!

See sources at https://github.com/tip4commit/tip4commit

We don't have much experience in maintenance of opensource projects, so we'd be glad to receive any help or advise

If somebody put a donation on the tip4commit repo what would happen?

Hopefully new developers would join the project and submit their pull request with new features, bug fixes and other improvements of tip4commit.

For a recipient of a tip, it would be useful to see for which commits to which projects donation(s) where given. I understand that this information is inaccessible now.

Unrelated: are you aware of https://github.com/WhisperSystems/BitHub?

Thanks!

Yes, we are, thanks

Btw, thanks to anonymous donor, we have ~3 btc at Tip4Commit, so anybody can contribute and earn!

Starting today, part of the money is stored in our offline wallets. Over 25 btc are waiting for your commits!

So I have my email address set to private on GitHub, yet when I signed into tip4commit.com it grabbed my real, private email address. Since all my commits are made using the users.noreply.github.com email (since I set my real email address to private), I can't claim any of the tips I've received.

Reported the issue here: https://github.com/tip4commit/tip4commit/issues/66

Tip4Commit fees reduced to 1%.

Also project maintainers can select the tip size for each commit now.

I donated 0.1 BTC to namecoin/nmcontrol and another 0.1 BTC to namecoin/Convergence on Jun 2.  (I'm a contributor to both.)  The latter has yet to show up, and while the former is visible in the donations, the button to choose the payout amount is nowhere to be found (commits have been made), so the funds appear stuck.  Any idea what's wrong?  Here's the transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/23077940fe8cf1f077f6047e635f78b62157005767094f79ed6344fdbc5240ab

Tip4commit tips only commits that were created (not merged) after the first deposit. http://tip4commit.com/projects/762 This project has one deposit, but it still doesn't have commits to pay tips for.

Probably, we need to reconsider this workflow.

Agreed, I think it would be more intuitive if the merge date is used rather than the commit date.  If there's disagreement there from anyone, maybe make it user-configurable?

Any idea why the deposit for namecoin/Convergence hasn't shown up yet?

I have found the bug. We don't handle the situation with many deposits in a single transaction. I will try to fix it as soon as possible.

I've created the deposit manually.

Hi all i really like the idea behind tip4commit.
Maybe someone can help me to setup my own tip4commit on my deb system for Gamerscoins ?
I Just need too know how to run tip4commit the rest i can do alone i think.

Open Reward 25000 GMC for a good deb tutorial.
Thanks again for your awnsome work on tip4commit.

kindly regards
Dr.Bob

EDIT : Found a way to start it

I think we're seeing some people submitting lots of tiny, trivial commits -- perhaps because they get more of the tipping pie.

I'm not sure how to combat that bad incentive....
