Cybnate: Cybnate: BTW I have been a bit concerned by the fact that the Peerunity team pulled a couple of commits from the PPcoin project into the Peerunity project without any visible payment to the original developers. The PPcoin has 6000 PPC donated against it and I’m sure that attracted some of the developers to do some work and hope that they can get a proper share of that. We need to be a bit more clear as a community on how we deal with this. I don’t think we want to be seen as unreliable if it comes to paying out for developers’ contributions. We are in need of more competent developers to progress a whole lot of projects as per peer4commit. Just my thoughts.

[quote=“Ben, post:54, topic:2203”]We do not have access to donations that were contributed to PPCoin/PPCoin. Now, if those commits that were pulled in are problematic, and the developer feels like they were short changed, send me a PM and we can figure something out.

I haven’t looked at the peer4commit balance for the PeerUnity project yet, but I presume it isn’t anywhere near the reference client’s.[/quote]

Those commits were merged before Peerunity had a donated balance in Peer4Commit, so the developers have received nothing so far. The situation is a bit complicated because they will still get their proper compensation when and if their pull request is merged into PPCoin.

I will echo what Ben said by saying if developers feel badly about the situation please contact me or Ben and we will arrange something. We started the Peerunity repository in part to encourage developer participation. We will take care to ensure it does not inadvertently alienate developers.
