“Many open source software projects run on donations. After all, open source is about giving code away for free, and without any revenue, you need some way of covering costs and motivating coders.  BitHub solves that problem by accepting bitcoin donations and collecting them into a common pool. It then monitors a project on the code hosting and collaboration site GitHub, and anytime someone submits code to the project — a process known as a ‘pull request’ — BitHub awards that person a portion of the pool. Open Whispersystems is already using the tool, and the first payment — about $19.12 worth of bitcoins — went out yesterday.”
