RE: How Steem Changes the Game for Open Source Software
I'm a developer and although I do like contributing to open source projects, there is little to motivate me, when, as you say, I have very little time for extra projects. If there were a way to apply the Steem concept to open source, that would be awesome. Places like BountySource exist but the bounties are few and far between.
Yep, I know the feeling.
There was an organization (I think that's what you'd call them, perhaps company is a better term), called Assembly and they incentivized developers to work on projects by giving them shares in the product they were helping create. Shares were given out based on tasks, difficulty, time, etc. Since then, they are defunct. I can't even get to their website. https://assembly.com/
There use to be a project I followed on there called Buckets. It looked very promising but development has since died once Assembly died.
