I know HN hates web3, but I invite you to look at little bit deeper: http://gitcoin.co/results
But, I did look at that, and I'm not sure that I trust the numbers. I clicked around a little. The top earner for the week is https://gitcoin.co/0xngmi. 0xngmi is working a crypto project (fine), but seems to have only received one bounty and one 10 DAI tip ever. So how are they the top earner for the week?
The top earner for the quarter is an NFP Crypto lobby group. They've earned $855k... somehow? Over 13 tips and 13 bounties? What do you mean 13 bounties? Does this Lobby group also fix Django bugs on the weekend?
I'm not saying I don't think it's a good idea; although I'm wary of anything Crypto, this might be the closest I've seen to a reasonable use for it. I just don't know that I trust the numbers.
