- Geldanlage
Hi everyone, we are back with another episode of our podcast allowing you to get to know people working behind the scenes of the crypto industry. Today we are joined by Max Howell, the CEO of tea.xyz and creator of Homebrew. Brew was one of the largest open-source projects of all time, with tens of millions of users to this day.
Welcome to the 175th episode of the Inside Crypto Podcast. This episode was recorded on November 21, 2023. A lot of the software that we love and enjoy was built on an open-source foundation. The problem is that the devs who did this have never been appropriately compensated for creating this public good. Max Howell is going to change this with his platform tea.xyz.
Thanks, everyone for listening, and don’t forget to tune in next week when we speak to Bill Wolf, the CIO of Archblock.
Topics Covered Today:
I’m old but perhaps not as old as some of the senior contributors to the biggest Open Source projects that exist out there. I feel like to this day, open source is still the space for geeks rather than the general public. Why do you think that is?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but you started to try to fix the very real problem of the lack of appropriate compensation for open-source developers. But I feel some of the biggest projects on Github like Mastodon, most of the devs are not a big believer in Web 3 or blockchain tech. How do you overcome that?
We’ve danced around the topic. Please tell our audience how tea works and who is it for.
How does Proof of Contribution work?
Can I get involved with tea even if I’m not a developer?
How are developers incentivized?
What would the internet look like if more devs could work full-time on their passion projects?
What’s the end goal with tea and when you reach it, where do you want to go from there?
What are your plans for 2024 with regard to tea?
