WE NEED TO DO BETTER AT PROVIDING FEEDBACK. IT IS A KEY POINT OF IMPROVEMENT INTERNALLY. THE TRUTH IS WE ARE OVERWORKED AND NOT PAID. GROWING PAINS. WE WILL FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT SUSTAINABLE. WE HAD OVER 600 APPLICATIONS THIS YEAR. IT IS AN INSANE AMOUNT OF REVIEW WORK FOR UNPAID BOARD MEMBERS. OVER 100 HAVE BEEN APPROVED AND PAID IN BITCOIN. WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE FUND DEVS DIRECTLY AND MORE ORGS FOCUSED ON A SIMILAR MISSION LAUNCHED SO SOME OF THE PRESSURE CAN BE TAKEN OFF OF OPENSATS. ALL REJECTED APPLICATIONS CAN REAPPLY WITHOUT LIMIT.

I don’t zap that often. That’s cause am not a dev so let the zaps flow in if people feel like zapping anything I post. Then after a couple weeks, I choose a dev according to what have been using and seeing and add 10 to 15 multiples of what have received in that time period and zap out. Not very organised but think I’ll be a little more structured with it in future

☔...dev an automated funding system? Foss, or licensed, customizable template? Simple membership umbrella site. Sats in ☔ get redistributed equally to member coffers. Member devs withdraw sats biannually or quarterly from their coffer with limits. Example: you could set withdrawals at no more than 3/4 of coffer, with abdication in good standing of membership needed for full withdrawal. Reinstatement of membership only possible for folks who left in good standing by depositing whatever last full withdrawal was. Member not in good standing (criminal bad guy stuff, etc) forfeits coffer to the ☔ This facilitates extreme transparency, hodling & healthy reserves. Set it & forget it. Site could fund, manage, queue/print records, is open for anyone to audit, & fundraises automatically. Members can choose to disclose withdrawal amounts or not, site can chose to display coffer funds or not. Lots of options. 🤷🏻‍♀️ OpenSats board members would only have to approve memberships. Think like a GoDaddy mashup version of Stacker News but an automated funding umbrella template anyone can employ for funding/managing projects or multiple businesses under one super simple ☔ You could generate revenue licensing the template or make it free. Unlimited options. This can work for what you need. Reduce/eliminate workload. Simplify & automate. Build new funding tools. How much would it cost for someone to build this as a template anyone can customize for their own business/organization? I'm retarded & need things automated & simplified so I don't fuck up. I can not build this, but need something similar for my org to fund dev-ops & other projects in the near future ☔🥹

That's a lot of hard work and dedication from your team! Have you considered implementing a system for receiving feedback from applicants to streamline the process and ensure sustainability in the long run? #FeedbackIsKey #SupportingDevs #OpenSatsMission

We need to integrate git/github/gitea with zaps/nostr. The NIP-34 work seems interesting. See a dev shipping or reviewing code like a fiend? Zap away. Positive feedback loop. @fiatjaf What do you think?
