I was actually delighted to read a blog post explaining that some people actually live off gittip these days[1]. I hope that these guys can make it even easier for developers to live off of open-source work.

Note: I wish the y=10% bounty for the top x contributors could be adjustable (depending on the size of the project 10% could be a lot, you may also want to adjust x).

This is great! I've been looking for a way to actually monetize all of the skills I've learned using various open source libraries. Wonder if this could be it.

I find this is a great way to honor the efforts of people who contribute to Open Source and motivate others to do so. Good job!
