Bablora - Fedora Remix with revenue stream back to upstream folks #47

Now that Fedora is a digital public good it is a good time to think about that goodness can be shared back to all people who've contributed to it, or rather had to refrain from packaging their project to avoid depleting revenue stream.

Bablora is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Remix where you need to pay some value (for example ETH) to login, and then your value (GAS) is slowly depleted through the day to the authors of software you use during that time. You can set how to distribute the value - which share (0, 0.01 or 0.31415, ...) should go to system things like systemd and kernel, or would you rather donate everything to GIMP and Inkscape, or to the pet project you friend is doing, leaving job, family and friends, coz he or she (or them, or ...) had to. Bablora doesn't take Friends out of Fedora. It makes them feel better.
