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
