F>Encourage Gitcoin funding of issues by other members

Open 8lcarte opened this issue 7 years ago • 23 comments

I'd like to propose we start encouraging the use of Gitcoin to let members fund issues that they believe haven't been funded enough or haven't been funded at all by the monthly budgeting spreadsheet. In the future I'd even like to see Gitcoin or Fundrequest be used by the COOP to fund issues.

Hi Lee,

You can add, fund any issue that you think is useful for RChain in the spreadsheet Pub Member Budget Allocation-Spending https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uxuxx8YN17KCIWcH1cUoGuSm2hAnIya2iAc6wxoaq1o/edit#gid=950224463 . ​And any participant can influence the rewards of each participant. Each month the participants receive their reward after sending in a prepared invoice.

Gitcoin is sweet, but issues can only be funded with ETH. How about RHOC?​

-- Cheers, HJ

@lapin7 Gitcoin can use any ERC20 token. You can use RHOC, ZRX, whatever you want. When Rchain mainnet is launched then we would need to biuld our own but for now RHOC is accepted.

8lcarte avatar Jan 17 '18 18:01 8lcarte

Oh that's good news. Maybe it's a good idea to use it somehow. Any proposals?

lapin7 avatar Jan 17 '18 18:01 lapin7

It can be a good idea, but what will become of RChain Github page if we adopt Gitcoin? Can the RChain GIthub page be integrated with Gitcoin?

While gitcoin is a nice idea, it does not fits into the way our current budgeting and allocation works as it centralizes the budgeting process but it would be a great way to get additonal funds from members on issues that is being worked on or to specifically tip a collaborator.

I agree with that. I don’t think adopting Gitcoin for funding every issue will work. However I think it can be a good way for members to fund issues they think should get more love than the current allocation. In order to do so it would need more adoption by current members (mainly having folks install the chrome extension).

This is done to my satisfaction; some encouragement happened.

Feel free to re-open it if there's more to do.

dckc avatar Feb 22 '18 08:02 dckc

I just want to do a little more encouraging here.

I was thinking gitcoin used any erc 20 token. Can we confirm that?

JoshOrndorff avatar Sep 28 '18 18:09 JoshOrndorff

I can confirm it does accept ERC20

Just to test this out, I posted a bounty on one of my personal projects, got excellent results overnight (granted it was a fairly basic bounty) and paid in RHOC.

Let's make this happen.

JoshOrndorff avatar Sep 29 '18 22:09 JoshOrndorff

Is it easy to point us to that transaction?

How does this relate to economic participation in the coop?

dckc avatar Oct 01 '18 01:10 dckc

That particular bounty has nothing to do with the coop. I'm just saying gitcoin has good ux, is easy to learn, allows rhoc, and is onchain. I lived it.

JoshOrndorff avatar Oct 01 '18 04:10 JoshOrndorff

Right... my pronouns were ambiguous. I meant:

Now that I have seen a lived example, how does this issue 233 relate to financial participation in the coop?

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question, @dckc .

My hope is that we can use gitcoin for bounties that have traditionally happened here in this repo at least until we have a system that runs on RChain. It's an interesting system that "just works" and immediately solves our UX issues. Now that we're requiring sponsors for bounties, it would be the sponsors' responsibility to officially fund the issue on gitcoin (maybe with Kate's help) signalling official sponsorship (show me the money).

As a way of transition, this repo and its issue queue could be used for community members to propose bounties of their own, and when sponsors come along, they then post funds to gitcoin.

JoshOrndorff avatar Oct 01 '18 15:10 JoshOrndorff

In the current bounty system, only coop members are eligible for rewards. This has something do do with the regulatory status of RHOC and stuff... I'm a bit fuzzy on the details. But... would we require those who participate via gitcoin to join the coop? If not, that would be a change to the bounty system that's "above my pay grade"; I'd have to check with the board, or at least the executive committee.

dckc avatar Oct 01 '18 19:10 dckc

I have no problem telling them that they're required to join to coop.

This bounty is complete when is comited and the bounty hunter joins the coop.

Enforcement may be tough, but I wonder whether it's necessary. If nothing else individuals ca nsponsor bounties with gitcoin.

JoshOrndorff avatar Oct 02 '18 13:10 JoshOrndorff

I'm hereby proposing that bounties posted in our bounty system be cross-posted in gitcoin. Gitcoin is specifically designed to link with github issues, so there is no risk of parallel work streams developing. All work happens here on github. We can make it clear that the bounty is not payable until the bounty hunter joins the coop.

If nothing else this will give us visibility to the ethereum community and other projects using gitcoin. If we're lucky it will also bring new developers to the platform.

@dckc @PatrickM727 @deannald Anyone opposed? Can silence be consent?

JoshOrndorff avatar Oct 05 '18 02:10 JoshOrndorff

Seems worth a try. Maybe not for all our bounties, but a few concrete examples to work out any kinks.

Hi from Gitcoin.. Thanks for the tag @kdvalentine

I have no problem telling them that they're required to join to coop.

This is fine with us too.

Seems worth a try

Give it a shot and let me know if any questions / feedback.
