๐Ÿ’ฐ MyZubster Never Stops: Micro-Bounties in Monero Are Live!

While we resolve a technical hiccup, the project keeps evolving. And now, everyone can contributeโ€”and get paid.
๐ŸŒฑ The Situation

We're currently dealing with a minor technical issue on our VPS (SSH access blocked by UFW firewall). We're working with our hosting provider to restore full access.

But the project doesn't stop.

MyZubster is an open-source decentralized marketplace that uses Monero (XMR) for private payments. And today, we're launching something bigger than a single server issue:
๐Ÿ’ฐ Introducing my-monero-bounty

Micro-bounties in Monero for everyone.

my-monero-bounty is a system that pays micro-bounties in Monero (XMR) for small contributions to the MyZubster ecosystem.
The Philosophy

"Not how much you give, but how many give it."

Open source should be accessible to everyone โ€” including contributors who:

Can't afford to work for free

Don't have a bank account

Live in countries with financial restrictions

Just want to earn their coffee โ˜•

๐Ÿ’ก Why This Matters

Open source has a sustainability problem. Many contributors work for free, which excludes those who can't afford to.

my-monero-bounty solves this by:

Paying for small contributions

Using Monero for global, private payments

Making open source accessible to everyone
