Inspiration
Open Source projects have been very impactful on both of our development journeys and we wanted a way to pay back devs who had helped us so much. We also had a very big interest in developing something in the crypto space.
What it does
Open Coin generates a cryptocurrency for Open Source Projects when the creator registers with our service. The creator gets 10,000 of the coin at launch and contributors are paid a set number of coins per accepted contribution.
How we built it
We used React.JS, Github OAuth, and Heroku
Challenges we ran into
Slight technical challenges figuring out Github OAuth
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a way to encourage more people to get involved in Open Source Projects.
What we learned
How Github OAuth works and how to deploy a React.JS Application on Heroku from CLI
What's next for OpenCoin
Get some market feedback on the level of interest from developers both that currently contribute to Open Source Projects as well as those that currently do not.
