Oscoin: A P2P Alternative for OSS Collaboration
summary
Claims a concrete system: a Radical peer-to-peer stack (a language to program arbitrary state machines, a gossip layer, and the Garden CLI for commits/issues) is released and usable now, with a paper out and a testnet target in March. An accompanying Oscoin blockchain will mint tokens and route inflation to projects using a dependency-based SourceRank instead of stake voting. Data point: 93% of NPM packages have one maintainer, motivating automated economic support for maintainers rather than donations or bounties.
