OSS Token

Open Source Software Token[s]

The idea behind this is to research and experiment with "smart contract" funding for open source and free software.

  • Allow less-known developers / projects to earn the public's trust ("cautious funding" — helping them build a reputation of being able to deliver; mechanisms may vary. could be based on bounties [see below] or funds release confirmations if bounties are not suitable for any reason... or something else entirely)
  • Allow direct organization/person funding (simple token transfer)
  • Allow funding specific goals (bounties)
  • Allow branding [sub]tokens for a specific project (bragging, voting, other kinds of rights)
  • Allow continuous support pledges (recurring payments)
  • Allow nominees to exchange tokens for the amount they were originally bought for (backed by ETH, the funding is deposited through an ICO, or a series of offerings)
  • Allow project maintainers and developers to publish their expenses in IPFS and refer to hashes of the receipts

Thoughts?

Hi,
for success transfer, do we need to meta mask wallet or we can use trust wallet ether address?
