This is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks.

Hi! I wrote this <3
Hi. Could you add a link to your Lemmy account to any other source? The website/GitHub/Mastodon/Liberapay doesn’t mention this account.
Also, could you please update the title of your fediverse post? The article now says 21k 🙂
I don’t like the comment “this is why people say the open source ecosystem sucks” because a bankruptcy of a company has nothing to do with the concept of open source.
Are there better open source bounty sites/systems?
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !bug@lemmy.ml
The best option is to just support the developer/project by the method they prefer the most (ko-fi/patreon/crypto/beer/t-shirts etc).
If the project doesn’t accept any donations but accepts code contributions instead (or you want to develop something that doesn’t exist), you can directly hire a freelancer to work on what you want, from sites like freelancer.com.
In 2017, the project was purchased by the cryptocurrency company CanYa, and in 2020 it was sold to “The Blockchain Group”. Coincidently, around this time, the Bountysource project announced drastic changes to its terms of service, enabling them to steal unclaimed bounties after two years

Here’s the thing: I’m excited about the tech and its potential uses. BUT there’s a reason why I still steer clear of any project that hasn’t built up reputation for years. If the project is worthwhile, early adopters will find out and eventually, it will grow over many years. Then it could be considered somewhat “trustworthy”.
