Pick almost any app on your phone. Underneath it is code somebody wrote and gave away for free. That's "open source" — free building blocks anyone is allowed to use.
Billion-dollar companies are built on those blocks. The people who cut the blocks usually got nothing. Maybe a thank-you buried in a text file.
Everyone in tech knows this is the deal. Nobody fixes it.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗿𝗚𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀, 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲
You point it at a code project. It makes a coin for that project. When people trade the coin, the trading fees go to the people who wrote it.
That's the whole thing.

Normally, to pay someone you need something from them. A bank account. An email. A wallet address. Some kind of yes.
FairGit doesn't ask.
Every account on GitHub — the website where the world's code lives — has a plain number attached to it. FairGit takes that number and runs a fixed piece of maths on it. The maths always spits out the same crypto wallet address for the same person.
Think of it like a locker in a building. Your locker number is worked out from your ID number. The locker exists whether or not you've ever walked in. Things can be put inside it. Only you can open it.
So a developer in Poland who has never touched crypto and has never heard of FairGit can have money sitting under their name right now. It waits until they come and collect it. No signup. No permission. Nothing to agree to.
And because the maths is public, anyone can do the same sum and check the same locker. You don't have to trust FairGit's word for it. You can go and look with your own eyes.
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁
FairGit reads the project's history — who wrote how much — and then you choose how to slice the pie:
𝗕𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘀. Write more, get more. (A "commit" is one saved chunk of work.)
𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱. Still rewards the heavy lifters, but stops one person hoovering up nearly everything.
𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗹𝘆. Everyone on the list gets the same slice.
You can also nudge individual slices by hand. However you set it, the slices always add up to exactly 100%.

𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗱. Something like Linux has tens of thousands of contributors and GitHub won't even list them all. So FairGit uses the most recent 500 commits instead. The money goes to people still working on it, not people who wandered off in 2011.

after the first team claim is made. we will make an impact, and the rest will find their way naturally.

Every previous attempt to pay open source asks the developer to do the work first. Apply for the grant. Set up the donations page. Post about it. Ask nicely, in public, forever.
FairGit flips the direction. The money goes looking for them.
The people who wrote it get paid for it.

btw spent an hour today reading a fee program idl to find out that a struct has no claimable field and the balance is just the lamports minus rent
anyway that means you can pay someone by sending them money.
def good tek trust
