I think there are a few things that are awesome about the Gittip model and a few things that are flawed:

Awesome things (1) fills a huge need (2) we should be in the habit of giving back (3) promotes long-term thinking

Bad things (1) dependent on CC processing (2) weekly only (3) A bit too much Github lockin.

what payment method besides CC would you like to see? Bitcoin? ACH?

Since you ask, I happen to run my own asset-backed digital currency w/ an open REST API. See profile.

I found the web site and block a little light on details. As in, there were none at all. It's not clear what benefit the Evergreen digital currency has over any other currency. Is it centralized? What does "secure" mean? What is it backed by?

Nice looking site - except for the text/background contrast. Very pretty and I enjoyed the video. Evergreen looks like a polished app experience.

However, like the previous commenter, I too am curious about what the assets are and what kind of security measures it takes.

At the moment we are sorting through some legal issues, but we plan to make this transparent very soon.
