Contributor engagement and monetization opportunities
summary
Large projects use small unpaid teams so this shows concrete payout options: use Interledger and web monetization for streaming micro-payments, use Open Collective for transparent donations, or use Chimoney credits and Chimoney tools (chippy, chiconets) to send redeemable value. A Hacktoberfest pilot sends more than 10,000 gifts by email or Twitter handle, lets recipients cash out to local banks, marketplaces or Bitcoin, pairs payments with mentorship and swag, and measurably boosts contributor engagement.
