What is OurCodeFund.com?
An open-source funding pipeline. Originators pitch an idea in plain language, backers pledge in tiers, and successful campaigns ship a V1.0+ public drop under the MIT License.
How does a campaign move forward?
Four stages: Intake (Spark extracts a Working Brief) → Ethics Check (safety gateway) → Stage 1 Seed ($20.00 Genesis Seed Gate) → Stage 2 Build (Dynamic Anchor + Round Table). Each campaign has a published goal, a public library endpoint, and a replenishing $15 bug fund.
What is a “Banana Buck”?
Display name. All wallet math is in integer USD cents; 1 Banana Buck = 1 cent. A $1,000.00 wallet = 100,000 Banana Bucks.
How do refunds work?
If a campaign does not reach its dynamic anchor threshold, genesis pledges refund automatically. Bug fixes draw from the per-campaign $15 bug fund; over-funding returns to backers as surplus or rolls into the V2.0 blueprint pool.
Who can originate a campaign?
Anyone with a verified email. Sign in via the Spark front desk at index.html; once your session is verified, the “Start a project” button appears in the nav bar.
What gets shipped?
Every successful campaign publishes an immutable V1.0+ build at library.html, plus a Blueprint (architecture, milestones, lessons learned) and a runnable codebase.
Is the platform itself open source?
Yes. Same MIT License as the campaigns. Repo: ourcodefund/ourcodefund.com.
