Here's an idea for a service that would financially help open source projects.
https://4d2.social/@dougie_jones/115724458039311158
The TL;DR is that it'd let people set a budget for voluntary contributions (e.g. $100/month) and enable people to make decisions about who gets how much. The donor would be charged a single payment using whatever sysyem they prefer (Venmo, CashApp, or whatever) and each of the recipients would get paid via whatever means they prefer (bitcoin, PayPal, etc.)
They go into more detail in their post, so if this sounds interesting to you, I'd encourage you to read the source material.
I'm curious to hear what y'all nostrinos think of this. Some of you are into payment processing, #v4v, #OpenSource and other topics which seem relevant here.
