GitNFT - Autograph and sell your GitHub commits as NFTs

Similar to Cent but for git commits, not tweets. This might sound silly to some, but this could unlock a new method for supporting open source and indie devs. 😊

Hello 👋 My name is Rodrigo, I'm the founder of Quine. We are building novel ways for software creators to monetise their work, skills, and reputation. Today we're thrilled to release our first product - GitNFT - which enables developers to autograph and mint NFTs of their GitHub commits and list them in the OpenSea marketplace for collectors to buy. So how does it work? GitNFT enables you to suggest and vote on commits that you think should be created as NFTs. If you're the author of a commit, the app enables you to mint an NFT of it for free. Upon minting, the NFT gets transferred directly to your ETH wallet and is listed in our OpenSea collection. You can then choose to put it for sale on OpenSea. GitNFT's smart contract runs on the Polygon (formerly Matic) Ethereum sidechain, and the NFT metadata is stored on Arweave, the leading blockchain for long term file storage. We think commits are a great collector item. They're unique, have verifiable authorship, and are immutable by design. Moreover, many of them store substantial collector value, either for their historical significance, the coolness/aesthetics of their content, or the popularity of the author. The world’s digital infrastructure feeds on Open-Source Software (OSS), yet the economic value it generates does not back-propagate to its creators. GitNFT is a new monetisation mechanism that aims to make Open-Source work economically sustainable ❤️ Please share feedback, questions, and comments :) Happy minting 🌿 Rodrigo & the Quine team

Great example of how to support open source. Unique concept and combination of NFT+Open Source! Grateful to be a part of this :)

Damn - this is a great use case for NFTs. Really really cool concept, and excited to see where this goes! Congratulations on the launch 🚀

GitLab support would be great!

This are great news for the Software Dev community! Cheers!

Good way to encourage communities to grow and show recognition! Awesome product!

I am super exited about this!! This can change the game on how people can monetise their open source contributions and how open source projects can raise funds (value of initial commits, big milestones, forks, white-papers, hacks... etc). Tokenisation of software, here we come!

This is an interesting idea. With NFT we can monetize everything on the internet! How weird!!!

As others have said, great application of NFTs! Also like the selection of Polygon; at my new (pre-ProductHunt) startup I selected Polygon as well because we'll be paying for gas too. Luckily with the $250 of MATIC we bought I probably won't have to even look at it for years because the gas fees are so low. Congratulations on the launch, I'll be watching (and likely using) GitNFT!

Love seeing innovation in the web3 space and this is a peculiar use case for NFTs. Rooting for you!

Great idea! Congrats on the launch!

Definitely taking the NFT game a step further, all the best & congrats on the launch!

Keep up the good work team Quine!

Well done guys!!

Will give this a try! Looks very interesting!

Wow, this is a nice concept

This is a super interesting direction for NFTs. Best of luck guys!

This could be a great way to request and pay for feature additions to open-source libraries. Kinda cool idea here.

Awsome job!
