Oddbean new post about login | logout I WOULD LOVE PEOPLE TO FUND DEVS DIRECTLY. IT IS STRICTLY BETTER THAN RELYING ON AN ORG LIKE OPENSATS. BEFORE OPENSATS, TEN31, OR NOSTR I LAUNCHED https://bitcoindevlist.com WITH DENNIS FOR THIS PURPOSE. UNFORTUNATELY VERY FEW DONATED. HOPEFULLY NOSTR CHANGES THINGS AND MORE PEOPLE FUND DEVS DIRECTLY USING ZAPS. UNTIL THEN I AM GOING TO CONTINUE MY FOCUS ON GETTING AS MUCH FUNDING AND SUPPORT TO DEVS THAT NEED IT. PROUDLY.

If the only way to get people like Jack to donate millions of dollars pass-through to devs, that can then build really cool stuff that is opensource full-time. I'm all for it. Criticize all you want opensats or how it's run, but just letting you know if it causes Odell even the slightest regret for starting opensats then shame on you. Seriously, shame. 🛎️🔥 nostr:nevent1qqsxuhsee7ha80lxvxhpnakeqqenkqxflpu7cqr36dyshl3pgrsu6vcpzemhxue69uhkyetkduhxummnw3erztnrdakj7q3qqny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysxpqqqqqqz9metp3
This wasn't really directed at you @Puzzito thats just how amethyst misquoted the note, it was supposed to be an Odell quote. Just doing my usual defending of opensats. Hehe. 🐳
i've seen the green monster animating people up close over this issue, and the irony was the person in question was capable of writing software but prefers to spend all day watching his gainz on the dxy and whatever else and doomscrolling twitter rather than actually writing code so it gives me some model of what kind of human being criticises and tries to shame or otherwise blame a person involved in actually helping stuff happen for not doing it the way they want they are out of their minds, and they can go fuck themselves
The truth is, it's very surprising opensats even exists, so to burn the bridge now would just be very negligent. Lol.. so people enjoy their tax breaks, sounds great to me. Still far better than working for a VC funded company.
So one person sees a red flag and confronts it and that’s shaming or burning bridges? I thought we’re supposed to verify, be skeptical, and ask questions. He thought something was hypocritical and the conversation was reciprocal and informative (if you bother to read the whole thread). He also expressed his appreciation. There’s probably a lot more people who had that same concern or a similar line of questioning that now have a lot more information, but are scared of his fanboys and never expressed it. What a fucking bizarre place.
I didn't see the thread, I admit. I just see the opensats and I defend. I have good reason to, opensats changed my life. Prob not enough devs stick up for em. Get a lotta jealous blowback n stuff.
Wouldn't say its one person. Maybe today, but Odell and OpenSats getting this flak is kinda a theme.
Ya, my message was directed at the theme in general cause I see it so much. I just saw some boosted thing and decided, not today, today I will quote post! 🦜🦖😂
Yeah. That’s why it’s helpful to have these public discussions. Not everyone is going to want to use it unless they fully understand and feel confident in it.
You'll notice I said 'if' it causes Odell regret. So ya I doubt it has, he has thick skin, and puzzles like you said was prob nice in the thread I didn't read.. but still, I just wanted to say my piece since the Internet is full of negativity for the most part.
Zaps aren't a good idea as they are not private and it's laughable tech as they can be fake.
