This is super cool, a really neat way to channel value back to the open source devs who make (a lot of) the world go round
Thanks Dave, looking forward to see your commits :)

#12I'm probably in the minority on this orange site but... I do not get why anyone would every buy an NFT. It just seems pointless.

#13First reaction: NFT groan; post-reading a couple of comments reaction: Oh yeah true, kind of a nice didn't-need-anything-but-thanks sponsorship 'swag'...
Considered reaction: if that's the target, a novel way to do sponsorship, they don't need to be tradeable right? In fact, it's harmful, since the sponsee gets nothing from the secondary market. So why NFTs, why not some mechanism for including the sponsor in the actual commit (for some number of commits, or a time period or whatever)? As you say, they're already immutable. Stick 'sponsored by' in there just like 'signed-off by'? Authored by Linus, Committed by SponsorBot?

Hi OJFord,
In fact, GitNFT gives the author a ~10% royalty after every sale :)
