BitHub is a Java service that automatically pays a percentage of Bitcoin to contributors for every commit pushed to a configured GitHub repository via webhooks. It integrates GitHub and Coinbase accounts and can be deployed as a standalone server or to Heroku.

Use cases

  • pay bitcoin bounties for github commits automatically
  • fund open source contributions with cryptocurrency
  • reward contributors per commit in a repository
  • set up a github webhook that sends btc payments
  • experiment with crypto-based funding for privacy oss

When to choose

  • you want to automatically reward every commit to a repo with bitcoin
  • you need a self-hosted or Heroku-deployable funding service wired to GitHub webhooks and Coinbase

When to avoid

  • you need maintained software - the project has no license and its last release was in 2020
  • you want fiat payouts or payment methods other than Coinbase/Bitcoin
  • you need per-PR review-based rewards rather than per-commit payments
