@burrrata: Your post is welcome in this thread (though I expect before long we’ll have threads specifically about running a SourceCred DAO).
I’m going with OpenCollective for this experiment because because both fundraising and payouts are easier to manage in fiat than in crypto. In the long run, I do expect that we’ll have a SourcecCred DAO, and that financial supporters of SourceCred will contribute either to the OpenCollective, or directly to the DAO, as suits them. (The OpenCollective funds will be managed by the DAO, or something similar.)
An important part of the long-term vision for SC is the creation of tokens (grain) that accrue to a project’s contributors and financial supporters. Setting up a SourceCred DAO will be necessary once we’re reaching that step.
