Hello,

when commiting to one of the repositories named on
http://bithub.whispersystems.org/

how would the committer receive BTC payment (I guess payment is in BTC?) ?

The committer would need to provide a receiving address? Where to do that?

I have read
https://github.com/whispersystems/bithub

https://whispersystems.org/blog/bithub/

and did not find an answer on that.

Thanks.

The bithub system uses coinbase to send the funds. I believe it will use
your GitHub email associated with the commit.

Thanks for the hint.

Now I have found an open PR addressing and resolving exactly my question:

https://github.com/WhisperSystems/BitHub/pull/35

Unfortunateley, it is three years old and not accepted, I wonder why.

Sometimes you don't even get payment,

https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Android/pull/6480

I never received a BitHub reward for this PR nor, sadly, a response as
to why :/
