The value that friend.tech provides is mostly access to alpha information from top crypto-twitter accounts.
As I understand the mechanic:
A Twitter account issues "accesses" to his private chats
Other Twitter accounts buy these "accesses", the later bought "accesses" cost more
"Accesses" can be resold
For the "acccesses" purchase the friend.tech provides points that will be used for the retrodrop calculation
How we can use
This proposal is not inlined with our defined priorities but it has a high hype potential as we see on the original friend.tech
We can analyze the friend.tech mechanic, compile less ponzi logic, and introduce it as a tool for GitHub.
Maping this mechanic to GitHub, the value of "accesses" could be
Consultations or just talks with top GitHub accounts
PR or specification review by top GitHub accounts
Limited access to close source GitHub repositories
We can brainstorm more
The positioning is "friend.tech for GitHub".
This follows the broad DevPool vision to connect projects and developers and also can be interesting for Paradigm.
