I’d rather see funding come from a crypto token that keeps the software completely open source than enterprise sales, aid hosted versions, and going “open core”.
I don’t understand how anyone believes that the current trend of so called “open source” startups is good for free software or anyone other than investors.
Given that, I’m very up for experimentation with new types of organisational and finding models for open projects, including ones that use cryptocurrencies and smart contracts.
- techknowlogick 4y agoHi Barnabee. I'm the author of the blog post. Thanks for your comments. I'd be interested to know why you would prefer funding come from an external crypto token instead of a paying for a hosted version. I would think that dogfooding is a way to stay on focus on the main project instead of being distracted by something else.
