Bitgesell contribution program ($25000 overall budget)

[wu-emma]

Bitgesell (BGL) project is open for the contributions and participation.
BGL is BTC-derived cryptocurrency with own blockchain, transaction fee burning
mechanics and faster halving rate. A good source of the information would be
the first 2 posts in the bitcointalk forum thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238559.0

There is community budget formed for the incentivizing project technical contributions.

Activities that would be compensated:

• fixing integration tests (this process is approximately 50% completed).
  A good chunk of tests fixed (see example here Update p2p_* tests from bitcoin core #46 would be compensated around $1000);
• cleaning the codebase (this must require thorough understanding of what is required
  and what is not), just fixing some comment links or introducing changes to readme
  files could be useful (but bounty payment would be less);
• we are also looking for maintainers to review PRs, test the build, test changes manually
  and running test suites;
• there are CirrusCI configs written to build the software for various platforms, there are
  minor issues present and fixes/updates to those are also welcome;
• fixes to the UI are welcome, example: BGL has only segwit addresses support (no legacy),
  so the feature of signing a message is not supported (BTC does not support this too),
  removing this from UI in a graceful way would be considered as useful contribution;
• infrastructural upgrades: if you want to bring up BGL testnet (which is not
  supported at the moment as the fees in mainnet are very reasonable) this would be much
  welcome too;

This list is just an example, if you want to contribute in another way that you think
brings value to the project, feel free to ask prior (if the task is large) or make a
partial change/prototype. Honest contributions are welcome, the cheat/abuse contributions
like formal changes (formatting, a pair of comments added, etc.) would be rejected.

There are other repositories of the project (where you can propose updates too), notably:

• BGL-ERC20 Bridge (https://github.com/BitgesellOfficial/wbgl-bridge);
• BGL Web wallet (https://github.com/BitgesellOfficial/bitgesell-wallet);

We are strong believers in open-source and the approach that GitCoin is offering to
the worldwide developer community: freedom, transparency and direct cooperation.

Please respect everyone and don't spam messages that make no sense, any questions could
be asked in:

• the comment section in this github issue;
• the project forum thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5238559.0);
• project Discord channels (https://discord.gg/Ubp359vZEF);

PRs would be paid in USDT upon approval, contributions in other areas (like infrastructure)
would be compensated after implementation.
Interested people are welcome to become regular maintainers of the project (this is
negotiable after some contribution is made);

Welcome to Bitgesell team and good luck!
