Opensourced by Anthony Riley - Earn cryptocurrency for writing opensource code

I really like your idea, but I have some questions as well.

  1. What makes OPEN valuable? Why would people want to buy it? Is there any incentive for developers to hold OPEN instead of selling it?
    I understand that developers will earn OPEN, and its purpose is to sell it for "real" money. I see cryptocurrencies as real money as well and that is no less with OPEN itself.

My project “Carpe Diem Savings” is a decentralized Certificate of Deposit. It might be an idea to investigate if a collaboration fits with both of our projects. Some idea is to automatically stake OPEN for let’s say 1 year by your smart contract. If you would like to discuss anything about the possibilities, you can write me a pm. This is no promise in any way, and we need more certainties before we implement any token.

  1. What are the benefits of users that stake TRX in your smartcontract?
    Being part of a liquidity pool is bound to impermanent loss and if there is more OPEN to be sold, people are basically selling their TRX and getting "wortless" OPEN.
  1. Is there any differentiation for rewards based on a developer’s contribution?
    Some open source code doesn't really contribute to anything nor add something new. Other code might contribute to a popular application or for example fix a critical bug. I can imagine that when OPEN becomes valuable, people might try to exploit the system and write junk code, just to get OPEN rewards. In the light of the TRON/BTTC Hackathon, I think it could be nice to reward those that contribute to the TRON or BTTC networks more.
  1. Is the OPEN supply unlimited? Are there any ideas to cap/limit the inflation of OPEN (or some other ideas involving the OPEN token’s supply)?
    If there are no boundaries, the inflation of OPEN is uncertain, because it is connected to how much code is being written.
  1. Do you have any idea if and when TIP 157 will be supported on mainnet? Are we talking about weeks, months, or years?
