I felt very lucky to have the chance to speak last week about open source development and Nostr at the Bitcoin Ski Summit in Jackson, WY.

It was such a unique event; combining folks from mining, policy, and finance with developers, builders, and even pro athletes.

Skiing at Jackson Hole has been a bucket list item of mine for many years, but the overwhelming highlight of the week for me was hearing that the conference raised $200,000+ for open source projects to be funded through nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f, Brink, and HRF! 🚀

Nostr Design Initiative Launched

OpenSats announced Nostr Design initiative to help open source developers with product development, UI/UX, and general design considerations.

https://www.nobsbitcoin.com/nostr-design-initiative-launched/


Level up your Nostr project, don't miss this opportunity 💜🧡

I really love and embrace the nature of async communication and a way of life in general.

Today, nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f  announced the thing I was working on for a while (nostrdesign.org). This initiative was made possible only because of them and everyone who contributes to the nostr fund. I also want to thank nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc  and nostr:npub10000003zmk89narqpczy4ff6rnuht2wu05na7kpnh3mak7z2tqzsv8vwqk  for their assistance! But while this was happening, I was at the beach with my family, enjoying our weekend.

In a corporate world that stresses so much the importance of clear communication and perfect timing this would have been a total disaster. But here, people have long time preference for all sorts of things including their lives. We value freedom, autonomy, you know… LIVING. After all, what is the point of any of this if not to make our lives better somehow?

To me, this was authentic, human, and even funny. It shows that we can all come together in a single place while living totally different lives in different parts of the world. It shows that we are human and can forget about time zone differences - and that is totally fine.

Coincidentally, it gives me many reasons to talk about #nostrdesign and is a great way to raise awareness (perhaps too much 😂). What can I say… marketing! 😈


Going to be going through this for the next week 💜

So excited 🤗

OpenSats

open source dev funding powered by sats - 100% pass through with no management fees - 501(c)(3) approved - bitcoin for a better world! ⚡


OpenSats is 100% pass through, we do not take a cut of donations, period. This is incredibly rare in the non profit world. Our nine person board has not and will not be paid a single sat.

Gigi is paid to run the org full time. The money for that was paid by a single donation for that specific stated purpose. He has rebuilt our processes from the ground up and made everything much more efficient.

All funds are provided to open source projects that apply and are approved by board vote. The board is intentionally nine people to reduce the impact of individual bias. We operate on simple majority. If there is a conflict of interest between a board member and a project they are expected to recuse themselves.

We will be releasing transparency reports and updates as funds are allocated. Understandable that some are frustrated with the speed of deployment but we are moving as fast as responsibly possible. Over the last two months we have announced nearly thirty grants. More will be announced soon.
