    I did but I think it might be just spam.
    Is it?

    Well, it might as well be spam—while Tip4Commit is very real, they only pay out once you've reached a balance of at least 0.001 Ƀ (~45 cents USD).

    I purposely mask out the amount.

    Project vanillaforums/Garden does exist on their site

    @Kasper, do you get email from this site?

    I just want to determine whether this type of email is spam or for real.

    Thanks

    I've been getting mails from them as well, yes. The entire Tip4Commit codebase is available on GitHub so it seems pretty legit. I'm still in the Grey Zone though.

    I've gotten a few over the last year. I've never logged in, tho. Things I don't have time for: 1) Bitcoin
