On Wednesday, Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) found a surprising way to develop her upcoming cryptocurrency regulation bill: she put it on GitHub<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs promised, you can now contribute comments on my bill establishing a framework for digital assets with [Sen. Gillibrand],\u201d Lummis wrote in a tweet sharing the news<\/a>. \u201cCivil comments and criticisms welcome. Please share widely. We want to get this right. Help us iterate publicly on policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best known as a repository for open-source code, GitHub includes a number of tools for that could be useful in developing public proposals \u2014 particularly the ability to publicly comment on, revise, and fork the text into different versions.<\/p>\n

As of press time, Github users have commented on 24 issues in the bill and made eight pull requests \u2013 some of which have proposed meaningful additions to the bill. One user<\/a> asked the senators to \u201cincrease the value of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies with a tax on mining.\u201d Another thread<\/a> raised concerns about algorithmic backing of stablecoins.<\/p>\n
