The tenth week of SourceCred trial payouts are here!

July payouts have been sent on-chain. If you are opted in and have not recieved your payment, please send a direct message to @sourcecred-trial-adm.

This week's payouts look a little different, due to SourceCred deploying a new instance system, an algorithm update and a change to the payout mechanism.

Payments to opt-in only

Only a relatively small fraction of the trial's budget is being paid out. This is largely due to some contributors with large Cred scores not being eligible (e.g. @LongForWisdom and some other Foundation employees), as well as a number of contributors that have not opted in. This has kept payouts lower than desired, and made budgeting more complicated. Therefore, for the rest of the trial, we will be distributing the entire $10,000/month ($2,500/week) worth of DAI only to those that have opted in. This will not change past payouts posted to the forum. Any participants that opt in will still receive the DAI payments a

The Discourse plugin assigns Cred to contributors participating on 
Discourse forums, for example by posting, replying to posts, or liking posts.

The plugin does this by fetching data using the Discourse API in anonymous mode.
This means that, unlike other plugins, it does not require any credentials and we can start loading data

The GitHub plugin assigns Cred to contributors participating on GitHub, for example by writing or reviewing code, filing and triaging bug reports, maintaining the build, and cutting new releases.

Great questions @MakerMan. It's nice to have community members that can understand some of this stuff on deeper levels. My knowledge of the algorithm is more high-level, but hopefully I can point you in the right direction. 

[quote="MakerMan, post:7, topic:2700"]
Do you have a link to a more advanced paper that shows in detail the math being used?
[/quote]

No more advanced paper yet, in part because we're undergoing a rewrite of the algorithm, called CredRank. The basic functionality and scores will be the same, but it will allow us to improve performance  (faster calculation and smaller output), better interpretability (i.e. we can answer more  questions of the types you propose) and flexibility (i.e. we can create features that enable more cryptoeconomic models). You can find more about CredRank here,
