I don't know. I find gittip's model mostly rewards popular coders.
Where as tip4commit, rewards are not influence by popularity. I do see how fluff pulls could drain the pool. One needs to ask: Is changing a typo worth $4 dollars? Is it worth my time to do it? Maybe I should just click that merge button.
In my opinion bountysource is the best reward system, as it gives context, popularity is a boon, and it shouldn't generate fluff.
Just my two cents.
- japhyr 13y agoGittip is certainly going to help more popular coders at first. But that's true with any platform in its early growth phase. When Gittip is more well-established, anyone who wants to should be able to put a "Gittip button" on their project page. When Gittip itself has more name recognition, an unknown coder who creates a widely-used project should be able to rapidly pick up meaningful support through Gittip.
- steveklabnik 13y agoNot only that, Gittip's project pages allow funds to be distributed to the entire team. So even if you're not well-known, if your project is, you can still get some.
