 I agree, Jack did a great thing. Let Nostr grow naturally. 

What worries me is that Nostr's clients and relays lack positive incentive mechanisms. Without Jack's financial support, most of them will go bankrupt. I wonder why OpenSats can't allocate some funds to fund Nostr and Bitcoin Lightning Payment's closed-source clients. As long as Nostr and Bitcoin applications can be promoted, I don't know what the difference is between open source and closed source. Let these closed-source products become competitive and self-profitable, and then fund OpenSats in the future. In this way, the Nostr ecosystem can develop healthily. This is also a good experimental direction.
