Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? 231
jfruh writes "Tip4Commit is a new service that allows anyone to link a tip for a developer to GitHub commits for open source projects. The tips are denominated in Bitcoin — and it appears that some developers aren't interested, with almost 40% of the total value tipped going uncollected. One dev who hasn't collected his $136 in tips is Linux inventor Linus Torvalds. It's not clear if the devs who aren't collecting their tips are opposed to the concept of tipping on open source projects or just don't want to deal with Bitcoin."

Just because it has the keywords "Bitcoin" and "Linus Torvalds" in the headline - it doesn't really mean its "news".
Oh, they seem happy enough to publish anything wtih a 50% hit rate on that. And I'm stupid enough to click the 2342564354th Bitcoin story and leave a comment, so shame on me.

Quite right, my good AC, quite right.
As I recall, Slashdot had no shortage of stories about Flooz back in the day, so it's entirely proper for them to constantly bombard us about Flooz 2.0.
