Oddbean new post about login | logout Then is there a way to guide other devs (female or not) on how to do this? nostr:nprofile1qqsd6ejdteqpvse63ntf7qz6u9yqspp4z7ymt8094urzwm0x2ceaxxgprfmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakszxmhwden5te0w35x2cmfw3skgetv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5dj64vx, I'm assuming you are looking more for this kind of help?
I'm not willing to take part in their current system and they aren't willing to change the system, so I'm scrounging around elsewhere, for funding.
What would be your ideal then? If not grants or p2p?
P2P is perfect. Some sort of user voucher system would also be okay. Bounties can be nice, depending upon how they're structured. Grants from OpenSats are more attractive as topping-up of project crowdfunding, over something like Geyserfund, rather than as individual grants (which are quickly devolving into employment contracts, which is the opposite of what I'd want).
What if there was something that paid for the infrastructure, like software, computers, hosting, etc? To alleviate some of the cost that came out of your pocket?
Then the grants are tied to expenditure, which is arguably worse. I have no idea why OpenSats doesn't just contribute to crowdfunding, like other funds do. Everyone wants to know why we don't apply. Nobody asks why they expect us to apply.
This is a great question to ask the people on the panels and their approach.
run your own company p2p funded. people have barely cracked the commerce nut here yet. party's just getting started. don't be late to the parhty.
I was thinking about this today. Over the last year, I heard a lot of support and complaints about a non profit, and today, I am like there are going to be so many options in the future. And kinds of avenues. It's coming. There will be something someone wants. People need to create this as well. So yes, the party is just getting started.

Hmm. Yes, lovely. Any contract carries strings, even if it's just the psychological burden of implied expectations or an unpleasant affiliation. So, if I'm already building something I'm enthusiastic about, and someone says, "Hey, can I pay you to add this doodad to it, so that I can use it for this new use case?" that might be a good contract to consider. Other contracts are less appealing. Each contract needs to be examined on a case-by-case basis. And rejected, if necessary.
