relay VS Bountysource

It's probable the core will always remain closed. That's both a business and practical decision. However, much like how Sentry have some of their services open-source, we may follow that route.

There's rust stuff too: https://github.com/getsentry/relay

Sentry uses Rust in their backend, check out relay.

Sentry (sentry.io) | senior software engineer, Rust | Vienna, Austria OR Remote (EU) | https://sentry.io/careers/4635809/

As a Senior Software Engineer on our client infrastructure team, you'll join a cross-functional group of Software Engineers that is responsible for the client-facing operation of Sentry. This includes building and maintaining our event ingestion and processing pipeline, most notably Relay (https://github.com/getsentry/relay). This means you will be involved in the design and evolution of both external and internal services, as well as create new mission-critical software at Sentry.

If you like system programming, know Rust (or another systems programming language) and want to work on mission-critical high-volume services, this is the role for you. And your contributions are open source!

We have no Nim usage in the company. One of our engineers nominated it as something they find personally interesting, and we wanted to give at least a little bit to every project that our employees nominated.

By contrast, we use Rust quite heavily, including our core ingest component: https://github.com/getsentry/relay.

That's why there's such a discrepancy in this case.

I used to use BountySource for this, but apparently they have not been honoring withdrawal requests and maybe are insolvent now. Gitcoin used to offer crypto bounties on bugfixes, but apparently they no longer do that and now only do "hackathons". I'm aware of many "bounty" sites, but they all are focused on finding security flaws not fixing specific issues.

It sounds like bountysource, but bountysource seems to have stopped paying bounties. Found these two links on the Wikipedia Article for Bountysource:

What is wrong with your support and cash out process?, 20.06.2021 -

Bountysource

Also obvious, and also only one way - sites where repository maintainers ask for feature implementation with a reward. There is no obvious winner here, both sites are good. - BountySource — payments in USD, seemingly more requests - Tip4Commit — payments in BTC, smaller amount of requests but payments are quite bigger.

There were a few companies that tried doing that, if I recall correctly https://www.bountysource.com/ was one of them (seems to still be active). I've been following the area and also tried to run a business in the area. My experience is that while there's some demand, it's either really small, or extremely difficult to grow.

I've pledged for fixes before. I think this is the service I used. https://www.bountysource.com/

There is a website called BountySource that I think is meant to do what you describe. I've never actually used it though.
