 Matt I love you but I seriously do not buy the 5 of 9 thing. You have people on the board with assertive personalities/expertise in certain areas where they’ll almost certainly hold the majority of the sway if there’s disagreement. It’s not a good look to have people with so many intertwining business interests and if I were you I’d find someone virtuous to replace me and step aside. I know it’s a challenge but it’s best for bitcoin and ultimately for you imo. 

I.e. fewer NVK and Odell’s (assertive businessmen with numerous intertangling business interests) more Nifty’s (open source dev more in it for purely the tech).

You’re a great entrepreneur but that should be your focus and the bias you get from that leaves many like myself skeptical. Please consider this honest feedback sent with love.

Onward.

 EASIER SAID THAN DONE BUT I DIRECTIONALLY AGREE.

 People can always donate directly to who they want to support. 

Never understood the OpenSats hate aka “constructive criticism”

Damned if you and damned if you don’t

▲ ▼

 I’m not the one asking for open sats donations.

Matt regularly asks for donations so I’m giving my feedback on what would make me feel comfortable doing that. I donate to individual projects that support my values where possible. It is undeniable that there are economies of scale. The best case scenario is to have principled open source devs and advocates who don’t have vested business interests in the projects in question. Bonus points for radical transparency (meeting minutes, reports etc).

 This sounds retarded.
“There are people with business interests on boards so you should step down to make me comfortable.”
Start your own fund. 
@ODELL is great. He’s working with a flawed model, using flawed people, surrounded by armchair retards with loud,  giant face holes and even bigger armchair opinions, and He is DOING it. Get it you do nothing bitches? Doing it. And @jb55 has the spirit of an early Unix pioneer in him. He could develop circles around most of humanity given the right environment. 
If I see one more no solution finding armchair fat face, with spam grease in their shirt talking about “you should resign” as they waddle to the cookie cupboard, I swear I’m looking for drone coordinates.

 I really didn’t intend to start anything or for there to be this much vitriol. I think ill just take a break from nostr for awhile and not question anything from now on. sorry ✌️

 We love you Will ODELL Sikto, don't go anywhere 🫂🫡

 On your side. You’re awesome. 👏

 It's because corn is down, people get argumentative.

▲ ▼

 The fact that people are freaking out this much just means that they also see the problems, but have no ready answers.

It's not a simple problem to solve. In fact, I don't know of any open-source movement that has even bothered trying to solve it.

So, we're funding model pioneers.

▲ ▼

 We should solve this problem. Are you trying to solve this as well?

▲ ▼

 That's what the conversations are about.

We talk a lot about it in our project. It's a conundrum, but the advent of zaps and zap-splits has made it a problem that can actually be solved.
Opens up entirely new models.

I think it'll be chaotic, for a while, until some Standard Funding Models emerge, but it's important to even declare that we need and want them.

We want everyone in Nostr to at least have the hope that they can one day be an active part of a common market. Only then are we sovereign.

▲ ▼

 And we want this for EVERYONE EVERYWHERE. 

That's what SFM can deliver, but grants can't, because processes and code can be distributed worldwide, with low effort, without getting consumed in the process.

▲ ▼

 I only feel like these discussions could be more structured. SFMs are the way to go.

 Idk, if it’s not right the first time I guess you should just quit 🤷‍♂️.

I believe the old saying goes “haters goin to hate”

Development ≠ complete-ment (🤔)

 You sound like the most pathetic boot licking keyboard warrior faggot. If you saw me on the street you’d run. 

If you’re not an anon you will see me in person and I’ll step right on your toes and you will do nothing cuz you’re a bitch ass nerd.  Go fuck your fucking self.

 Aw. Don’t cry cupcake. Ask mommy for a juice box and a Pat on your angry little bottom. 🤓❤️
