 i don't need funding from people who are too retarded to understand the basic principle that markets allow people to discriminate against untrustworthry vendors, and who idealise p2p network solutions in a real world where such things are impossible because of all the rentseekers holding ipv4 address ranges, who also prefer to force people into a relay architecture, aka "centralised" distributed database applications, to track them and inject bullshit into their media feed like a good old television

really, if i were to guess, the average nostr dev IQ is about 130, and i'm a 150, but i have ZERO tolerance for worshiping heroes or any of that retarded cult shit 
 there is some really spooky superstition among the in-group of nostr developers about cryptography

decryption should not require permission at all, for one thing

and authenticating to a relay you just sent 50 reqs that all contain your NPUB should not be considered doxxing yourself

these two facts are humongous pain points for users and you idiots seem to literally not understand the technology you are using
