our bounties platform is coupled to github, but grants/tips/other tools are not.
we plan to decouple from github eventually. until then, the workaround is to post a gitlab repo into a github issue and bounty that.
any other questions lmk
more on us: https://gitcoin.co/mission https://gitcoin.co/results
Hopefully this (https://gitcoin.co/results) is just a start and we can build information age native institutions that support all sorts of public goods (Open Source Software being the focal point right now) at 100x this scale one day.
This post (also, coincidentally by Vitalik) talks about different levels of collusion (from unsophisticated to sophisticated) https://vitalik.ca/general/2019/04/03/collusion.html
Gitcoin's approach thus far has been to stop collusion from unsophisticated actors, then progressively get more organized (as more money gets involved, and as we learn from each round) about stopping collusion from more sophisticated actors.
This thread talks about some collusion that we founnd in Round 5. https://twitter.com/owocki/status/1250097472694702080
Gitcoin never did an ICO and doesnt have a token. During the 2017 ICO craze, we opted instead to just focus on product/community.
Our network supports any ERC20 token or ETH. Here are the top ones on the Gitcoin network https://gitcoin.co/leaderboard/tokens?cadence=all&keyword=al...
More on why we didnt do an ICO at https://gitcoin.co/not_a_token
I think a more important question is "are the round results valid?" Vitalik goes into this in his post - As Vitalik notes in his post, we are certainly reaching the limits of our existing identity framework as more money/users get involved.
Identity networks are a chicken and egg problem. My view is that Gitcoin being one of the first widely/actively used Ethereum products (https://gitcoin.co/results) we have a unique opportunity (and challenge/responsibility honestly) to bootstrap a DID network.
Here's some incremental improvements were gonna make in round 6: Identity - https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues/6549 Collusion - https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/issues/6548
Happy to answer any questions. Its Saturday so will be AFK for a bit here & there, but will keep an eye on this thread.

All the money that goes into back offices on wall st in the old closed financial system, goes to Open Source in the blockchain ecosystem.
I hope that this trend continues and helps make OSS Funding a more mainstream thing as blockchain becomes more mainstream itself.
