RE: Developers? Time To Work Your A** Off! We Doubled Up Your Rewards!

in #utopian-io7 years ago

As a fellow developer, I really love what Utopian does and believe I will start contributing shortly.

I have a few questions though. The first one being, what types of open source projects can you get rewarded for? Is it only ones Utopian has accepted as valid projects, or can any open source project on Github be contributed to via Utopian (I just imagine some no-name Github projects would not get any rewards though)?

If any open source public project on Github is a valid project to contribute to, then my next question is, will the Utopian bots upvotes only work for specific projects (despite the network not caring), or does the bot prioritize certain projects over others?

My specific scenario is that I am undergoing a year long research project in blockchain technology. Through this, I will be starting a project, Seed, which will be open source on Github. I plan to contribute this and blog about it as I go. Technically, this is to my own project, so I would understand why Utopian may not view that as a valid contribution, however my intention with the project is to, assuming the research proves my method is a success, become another open source blockchain technology for video game networking requirements that others could use.

I guess to wrap up my thoughts, my final question is: Is my scenario a valid use-case for Utopian.io, or should my contributions to Utopian be ones of benefiting existing open source projects?

Every project hosted on Github

We don't prioritise. Just contribute to the open source projects you wish

Absolutely valid

Awesome! Thank you for the info. This year just got even more exciting!
