When life gives you commits, don't just push, squeeze out some SOL instead! With PotatoSqueezy, get zapped and tip GitHub users for their awesome contributions. Open-source just got more rewarding!
Potatoe introduces an innovative method for backing GitHub contributors via cryptocurrency, which could significantly enhance support for open-source projects. I'm curious about the process: how does Potatoe ensure that donations are securely and accurately allocated to the intended contributors? Additionally, are there measures in place to address potential tax implications for both donors and recipients?
@faizanjan_ That’s a great question! Potatoe uses a peer-to-peer tipping system, meaning donations go directly from the supporter to the contributor without any middleman. Once a tip is sent, the sender gets a transaction hash as proof, ensuring transparency and traceability.
As for tax implications, Potatoe currently doesn’t handle that part directly, it's up to both donors and recipients to comply with their local tax laws. We're exploring better ways to provide guidance or tools in the future, but for now, users should consult a tax professional.
Regarding tasks, Potatoe doesn’t yet have task-based funding features, it’s primarily focused on tipping individuals based on their contributions.
Please you can let me know if there are any other concerns. Thanks 👌.
Potatoe is such a clever idea! Supporting GitHub contributors with crypto is a unique way to help recognize their hard work. How do you see this evolving as more developers join the platform and contribute over time?
@jonurbonas Thanks! 🥔 I am super excited about helping open source contributors get the recognition they deserve. As more devs join, I see Potatoe becoming a core part of GitHub culture.
I'm currently building a browser extension and GitHub app so maintainers can tip/reward contributors directly on PRs, making support as easy as a comment or like. 👍

I would welcome this also on other platforms dedicated to content creators like Buymyacoffee, Passionfroot, Ko-Fi or just for invoicing.
This is not so frequent (especially in my country)
Personally, I would go for BTC only or ETH. :D

@busmark_w_nika Yes, i would also add other chains too, I would add BTC ( especially the lightning network) first, hopefully before ETH
