Re: Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea
#13I've been donating to Gitea for years (on their Open Collective [1]) but if they start with this cryptocurrency/blockchain stuff, I am out. I am trying to fund development, not invest unstable currency technology. Gitea itself started as a fork of Gogs, it wouldn't be too surprising to see it fork again if they start being creative with the brand. [1]: https://opencollective.com/gitea
They don't even mention a single thing about crypto?
They mention "a decentralized autonomous organization" which is a blockchain invention (a "smart contract" thingie): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organ...

shows how much the term "decentralized" got hijacked by scams...
Or well.. DAO. Likely means blockchain bs.
Re: Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea
#16Creating a DAO for this sounds _incredibly_ risky to me. One tiny flaw in the design of that organization and the project could be destroyed by people gaming the DAO rules for profit.
But does decentralized autonomous organization always have to imply blockchain?
I'm hoping they mean something else but I really can't imagine what. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decentralized_autonomous_organ...

#17I am happy that my git host of choice has a very simple monetization/sustainability
model: I pay money, they host my code.
Thanks ddevault and anyone else from Sourcehut who may see this!

I'm confused, they don't mention crypto. This blog post is simply an announcement that they started a company. The purpose seems to mainly be for providing support services and paying developers. I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Re: Open source sustainment and the future of Gitea
#19Good luck with it. And if you: - work for a company that uses open source, look for excuses to support it (support contract, etc. I even got good value out of some.) - are an open source project that takes donations: don't get greedy. Two projects I went out of my way to support because they were open source shortly afterwards started "experimenting with models".
> are an open source project that takes donations: don't get greedy. Two projects I went out of my way to support because they were open source shortly afterwards started "experimenting with models". How do you know it's greed and not just insufficient donations forcing them to try to find alternative financing? Just because you donated doesn't mean enough people/businesses did.
This is usually the main problem, in most cases the donations aren't enough as main line of income.

I constantly make that mistake. I don't know why, I simply can't seem to get the muscle memory right for some reason, and I always do ()[] first.
