This isn't going to be both scalable and sustainable. You will find that people will calculate the cost of this vs. the cost of being a non-profit. It also isn't going to work where a small dependency gets the same payout as a more complicated dependency.
- hnedeotes 6y agoSo, if 0 is sustainable, this would also be? You mean they would become a non-profit so they wouldn't have to shell 50 bucks a month? The dependency values wouldn't need to be $0.01. Maybe if the theory about free markets is true, then it would somehow be guided by the invisible hand, and we would let linux charge the amount of $0.10 per month. With 1M commercial servers that would be 100k per month. Not faang salaries I know. Maybe left pad could be paid in bitcoin, so we could have like fractionality towards infinity.
