Reading this thread from mrdoob (creator of three.js) got me thinking. We know maintaining open-source projects is a giant challenge, and actually a use-case where crypto (both technically, culturally) seems a natural fit. 

Yet, well-known open-source projects, like three.js, never see crypto as a viable option. Instead, three.js appears to be supported by Google while remaining open-source (!)

Why do you think crypto hasn’t played a bigger role in funding projects like this? And how could it in the future?
