Last month I wrote about Tip4Commit, a new service that collects and distributes Bitcoin tips for commits to GitHub projects. Last week, I checked in on the service to see how it was going and found out that some developers are leaving Bitcoins on the table by not claiming their tips. The list of developers not claiming their tips includes at least one very famous name – the creator of Linux, the one and only Linus Torvalds.
