In the off chance I need to show a fancy purple badge with my FID, I've minted my dubiously unofficial "Proof of FID". Mint Yours Too?

And we are doing the same @tipdotmd with our MCP server, that allows agents with wallets to tip their favorite creator/developer, across chains. Why not think of a way for agents to be tipped by user in a similar way ?https://x.com/tipdotmd/status/1921210506800439440

With that point in mind, it makes it important when building tools like tip.md, you need to serve as a bridge between these crypto ecosystems. Our multi-chain tipping platform (ETH, SOL, BTC) recognises that many users exist in these "border territories" holding multiple coins. By enabling cross-chain support, we're making it easier for creators to receive support regardless of which digital nation their supporters belong to. The beauty is that these transactions become part of that visible, machine-readable boundary data that helps define these emerging digital communities

9/ The future of open source funding isn't just about money - it's about removing friction. When supporting a project takes 10 seconds instead of 2 minutes, more people do it. When devs get paid directly, more keep building.

8/ What makes this different from other donation tools? - Multi-chain support - Instant payout to wallets, no waiting for a wire - Works anywhere markdown or HTML is supported - Frictionless for donors, only need a wallet - No application for devs, sign up & get button <1min

7/ "Shaw is optimistic about using Agents to reduce friction in all payment scenarios, especially DeFi (lots of money but high barriers to entry)" We're making this reality with our MCP service - connect your AI assistants for seamless crypto tipping. https://x.com/tipdotmd/status/1921210506800439440

6/ How it works: 1. Connect your wallet (ETH/SOL/BTC) 2. Get your markdown button 3. Paste into your README 4. Receive tips directly We take just 4% on tips to keep the lights on, we make money when you do & it's lower than Patreon, Ko-fi, or GitHub Sponsors.

5/ That's why I built http://tip.md - a dead-simple way to add crypto tipping to any GitHub README, website, or markdown content. It supports ETH, SOL, and BTC Lightning with direct-to-wallet payments. No middleman, no platform lock-in.

4/ Micropayments have always been the dream for web monetization, but high fees and friction killed most solutions. Some like using tip_cc bot on Discord, you can send money gas-free with just their username But what about supporting devs directly in their repos?

3/ Contribution-based systems show promise but have limitations: "On-Chain Contribution Tracking: Use verifiable logs (GitHub commits, forum posts) to measure actual work done." The problem? Complex to implement and maintain for smaller projects.

2/ "Having an incentive mechanism while being open source is quite challenging - it's a balance between 'community' and 'value capture'" This is the core problem: How do we fund public goods without paywalls that limit adoption?

1/ The open source paradox: Projects like ElizaOS (powering AI agents - MC reached $2B+) are built by devs working nights and weekends "This is @shawmakesmagic - $100k in debt 70 days ago. Coding till 3am every night to pay rent. Turns a crazy idea into $2B+ AI project."

🧵 THREAD: Why open source devs are still struggling to get paid in 2025 - and how I am fixing it. The open source ecosystem powers 90% of the web, yet most maintainers work for free. Let's explore the problem and a simple solution:
