Merge to earn uses smart contracts to make this possible in a permissionless and automated way. It also doesn't impose projects to use any cryptocurrency (only ETH is always accepted, any other must be explicitly specified).

I'd be more interested to hear opinions that go beyond the crypto = scam argument.

This HN. They all missed the boat on crypto so it must be a scam forever.

If the permissionless part isnt attractive to someone, then they can add an issue on the repo and say "trust me i'll pay you".
