-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
I'm working on a personal project for which I needed a way to automatically distribute monetary value amongst a large number of stakeholders. After coming up with a very simple protocol I started looking for other use cases, and fairly distributing donations to libre software development seems like a good one. The most interesting aspect of this use case is that "invisible" projects that are widely used as dependencies by other software stacks can become part of the flow of micro-donations that trickle down the VDP tree. The Value Distribution Protocol (VDP) and use cases are described here: https://github.com/ktorn/vdp At this stage I'd like to engage with the Free/Libre software community and ask for feedback on the overall protocol and specific use cases. Filipe Farinha PS: I did post a brief intro in the FSF members forum a while back, but seems like that forum is inaccessible most of the time. If you know of a better forum to discuss this kind of idea please let me know. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJWHKLJAAoJEI7KMcOMpK2f4OsP+wX6ca5k9VeodctiaH90bzeI c+Im0jrpII6kmV8t/JbthwK+R5eRjsDs3RH8zj0wodJSOhJtlY+Dm/ckd2ynsx+d Gw9ZbAGrmRHtdkS8J+TZyUYVwSqDlcDWzE/zIgRfZK2x0IWkTv1uJe0c/YNNJ8Db q0jiU/wgZwT4y3Kv0eFsDRHc3vZL7duEnVl93PsZ7tT025xygbSr5atx68u2oTlF GD/82XKHi1Dj3nF/lMCtBG2w8Raa7wHNg8LdBbvrty6LF5cI/ItwqFB9TtoCAN8t VggSqiVHzrtCAf1Gp6JFXbYGT0kwe1PmWMWZ+VGiMU1ncP/55XYn5m92epa04uFm +CaQwVWPqSfxWaKXELiiLYP9WOLiMuVgiVh5bsC8gWsrfLN8oM0XkfMc75tnM+dB 3srPC/x/26wGuCjdlZmJGs6V6/EJjTCTwpF/MpT9g34Tywfy5MSa6aScqfT3pygi ctl8jE5EM1lkGD40GY8lOjbBnr6ITrPNgIbgCRpZ1KLZoejoVI3orxU0rQ4PFGWA 2RqP471vxapQOO6V8CpRF2pR9ZnRjzyfaJtGXk4nbab3CD70L/4Fm98rHgbHLeoV FyE9AQsx4Lc/XZm6UPS6gx8G9q6raoNFS74hqUiRLyAxiTw6BTJgJDMiYFbNXnkJ XC1V/r+bla+9GZF7/fJ0 =tih6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
