 Lots of opinions & not enough building 

If you think you can do better then do better. 
 0 PoW 

100s of opinions 

You know who you are. 
 Well that's your opinion, man 
 Nah it’s a fact 

The person I speak of has 100s of opinions but 0 PoW on what he opinionated 
 🤔 sounds like a fiat critic, a leech that feeds of producers and creators 
 basically built his whole persona on going against everything n everyone except for his own special interests, very fucking fiat. 
 Oh shit! Sleepy bout to air it out… 
 naaa I’m good I got enough on my plate IRL lol 

ppl getting real salty about me calling them over opinionated, when all I want from them is to try n do something instead of whining, anyone can have opinions n whine. it was just a suggestion but it seems like the shoe fit real nice for some lol 
 It does get old. It’s like the guy constantly complaining about the pothole on his street, he’ll bitch whine moan and complain, and waste all that time and energy, instead of buying a $7 bag of concrete 
 zero PoW my ass, just because most of my work is tools that you won’t interface with directly doesn’t mean it’s there, or that I’m not building anything right now

 have you tried putting aside the opensats pr aside and considering how likely or unlikely of a possibility my claims are

they are higher than you think

otherwise why would their “transparency” not be actual transparency

some claims I have sources from/derived from interactions but I’m not going to say because I do not want you or others to harass them 
 Thank you for your opinion 
 I’m building just not a non profit 

I have no interest 
 What you mean you have no interest? You’re building a for profit? There must be an interest somewhere. 
 from one shitposter to another 

sometimes we need to get serious about serious topics 
 I think that’s what’s been happening on nostr. It is good to see people address the elephant in the room and the noise helped. We need to see how it all reacts to it. 
 I hope everyone can take a step back and analyze the situation with no biases n come to rational conclusions, it’s always fun to go against the grain but in this situation the elephant in the room does far more good per capita then the one pointing a finger with no skin in the game. Hope that made sense. 
 If there are concerns about conflict of interest, they need to be addressed. 
If there are concerns about data mining they need to be addressed. 

I don’t know why people lie, but in some cases I’m 100% sure they did, right to my face. This is enough to add to the concerns. 

It’s funny what you discover when you follow the money, look at the past, look into entourages… 

I’m sensitive to dissonances. There are too many of them in this space. Fact. Contradictory statements = mistrust 
 Don’t you love how you have a choice ? 

Choice to participate, choice to not participate, choice to do it yourself, etc. 

I’m not into conspiracy theories, never been. 

all I’m saying is do better if you want better, some are doing what they can with what they have, others don’t do shit but point fingers. Simple. 
 You should start spreading conspiracy theories about #bitcoin

Like, tell everyone that high electricity usage is to power alien ships that anally probe memecoin enjoyers.  
 It’s not one pleb sharing concerns. It’s many. I don’t understand how pointing the finger at one of them helps. We’re talking about plebs that had an insane amount of love for nostr and are slowly (or quickly) losing it. Some of these plebs have actively funded nostr projects for months, directly. 
 well it was for all, but somehow you all knew that the shoe fit best on one of them.. n you weren’t wrong lol 

also i love how plebs find nostr projects directly, does it help ? Fuck yeah, but is it sustainable? Fuck no, we all know this. 

every subscription models aren’t sustainable, grants are the way n if they need to be fixed then fix em ? I’m sure there’s a ton of capable individuals here that can put their heads together n make something happen. 
 This note made it clear you were talking to one person nostr:note1gheqeh4fljdnj73uux9a8eyrmncw9putjyesd5lh60jdlg2vxdsshv8s7s

🤷‍♂️

So the sustainable model is grants? 🤣🤣🤣 

This one is really funny 
 works better than direct and subs 

what do you think it is 
 Fuck know, whatever can sustain itself. Probably content centric. 
nostr:note1uzvjmd4vayz2ul50uly2emdl5wcgc092re8tktscmepxzfnlt5nqw7tz20

I’m not saying development grants are not needed at seed phase, but to call it sustainable is not right. 
 maybe the model should be a mix of everything 
 Maybe investors should only invest and not mix match investments and donations.

Maybe investors shouldn’t pretend to have genuine conversation about their own products with other influencers who pretend to not know the subject matter for sake of the bit. 

Maybe people who engage in data mining and have made a fortune out of it should stay the fuck away from nostr. 

Maybe they should all stop relying on flying monkeys to do their bidding. They can try to separate themselves from the message, but we know where it comes from. 
 What did i miss? Data mining? What are you referencing? 
 I forgot
🤷‍♂️ 
 🫂😂 
 those empire minions are really cute 
 tbh, not everybody is a builder nor will they ever be one

it's like telling food or movie critics to just make better stuff if they don't like it. also regular non-devs (like myself) just try to help out by thinking out loud, though it may be considered as noise at times, which i also get.

it would be nice to have more builders obviously, but i also think that shipping things fast to the public here allows the space for the common folk here to share their takes and give feedback, so the builders can reiterate and improve faster, instead if they were to build for a longer period of time behind the scenes without taking time to understand what the peeps here might even like or dislike 
 ok person that acts like they know everything sometimes and has barely anything of value to contribute, including good opinions and ideas 
 it’s like you’re speaking to a mirror https://i.nostr.build/vG2lP.jpg  
 can’t see your proof of work :)

have fun trying to get engagement while not contributing any value to nostr

I certainly did, including, but not limited to:
- reviewing NIPs
- helping @jb55 save $8k/yr
- nostr.land
- noswhere search

and a bunch more is getting built which @5c508c34, @nobody and a few others know

you are instead spending your time whining about things that don’t affect you 
 list so long I ain’t even gonna do that to you 

🤣 have fun n get better ❤️‍🩹 
 I think I found the perfect quote to describe you rn

“once an idiot, always an idiot” 
 Hey, why didn’t I get this one? I’m offended 
 because it’s only an opinion when @𝓢𝓮𝓻 𝓢𝓵𝓮𝓮𝓹𝔂 doesn’t like it 
 Right, I just don’t know if he likes or dislikes my opinions. He probably doesn’t even read them 😔 
 bc at first I was in a very serious mood that only lasted 10 mins, now it’s back to memes n gfy’s 

nothing is gonna change either way so i said fuck it guess nothing really matters even my opinion about others being too opinionated n not doing just preaching 

here’s a meme for your troubles https://i.nostr.build/WGV6L.jpg  
 True.

It’s coming. 
 No, we need more podcasts and talk shows 

/s 
 I can only do worse, so I do that. 
 it is way easier to tear down than to build up. the adults in the room are trying their best to push nostr forward by creating content, open source gear, products and services. ignore the rest ✌️ 
 💯

solid advice, gonna drown out the noise. 

That was the main reason i came here, for high signal. 🫡
