Yes I still think nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f are extremely valuable at this time, and I think they are doing a good job, I just want to encourage another path so the ecosystem doesn’t degrade in a negative way. I don’t see this as a knock against them at all, I just want to ensure there are counterbalances to power. I doubt nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx would disagree, I think he has said something similar in the past. Opensats is a stepping stone and is not a long term solution for nostr.

No i have not got VC, i’m supported by grants and damus purple users.
