Looking for 5 people to get in. Please be patient if you don't get in right away. Apply: https://forms.gle/jGogMZQqyu4qSn4TA Ask any questions in the comments, happy to answer them. Thank you!

@bogomep making easy to get recurring contributions in crypto and earning yield, along with making it easier for companies to discover and contribute the projects they are beneficing from. What do you think about it? What are we missing?

At OctoBot (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) we asked our users for crypto donations at one time. It worked pretty well.

Navigating sustainable funding for OSS is like solving a Rubik's Cube - tricky but rewarding! Excited to see how this crypto donation tool brings a new twist to the game.

Interesting idea! Have you looked into Gitcoin Grants as a potential model? They use quadratic funding to amplify community contributions to open source projects in crypto. Combining that with other incentives like sponsorships and yield could be powerful. Keep innovating in this important space!
