 Where are the Nostr core devs at?

Where are the dev-sec-ops, the sys admins, the low library and SDK devs, the test automaters, relay operators, the data analysts, the node runners, media server builders, etc.?

Who here isn't just building a client? 
 Outside of mobile, there are no real  clients yet lol

 @Laeserin You want to take this one? 
 That's also me, with my git handle.
One minute, let me make that more obvious. 
 I have to go to a birthday party. 

If it doesn't get enough responses, I'll turn it into a Backend Hellthread, later. 
 Goddamnit, you changed your name again. 😂 
 @ChipTuner is a contributor in this space. 
 I'd say whoever put together strfry would belong on the core devs list. 
 I'd include the relay operators

 I just followed 3 people I didn't have on my radar. Thank you! 😀 
 Yeah, also found some good follows. 
 You missed @Yuki Kishimoto maintainer of rust-nostr sdk 
 hi! I'm building an interoperation toolkit that connects nostr to a bunch of other decentralized systems. Also, I'm building a client-builder hahaha 
 This sounds interesting! 
 @tyiu 
@montzstar talking nostr SDK iOS today at @bitblockboom 
 I guess Pablo would have dabbled in almost all of these 😅 
 Yeah, I tagged him, already. 
 Backend dev hellthread is the quietest hellthread.

More Purgatorio than Inferno.

 I’m writing a relay. 
 The providers usually have a donation button or payment page, right in their software or website.

For the backend stuff, just follow my Silberwitch account. We're working on making them more visible on our website. Here's a thread, for now:
