Thought experiment for funding OSS: tldr: Your avatar has a glowing halo that shows how much you contribute to the OSS ecosystem. People thus always know how much of an OSS saint you are. * Instead of gravatar, OSS projects start using fundavatar by default. * You can contribute $$ to fundavatar to support OSS. * The more $$ you contribute to fundavatar, the bigger your halo is on your avatar for people to see. * Fundavatar has a smart voting mechanism to distribute funds among OSS maintainers, that involves your preferences and delegation past the granularity that you don't have preferences. I will describe in more detail if people want to know. * Crucially, you can get a big halo just through OSS contribution and not lose money by joining fundavatar, because as an OSS maintainer you can pump X% of your revenue back into fundavatar.
