I got more sats for sharing a post about a possible job opportunity than for releasing software used by over 10% of Nostr relays (assuming nostr.watch numbers are correct). So yeahp, we’re still very far from “V4V”-funded R&D. But the fact that I even get to read some research papers shared by other Nostriches is already a net positive. Given some of the stuff that passes as content here, I’m just glad we’re not in a totally science-sceptical environment. Not gonna lie, that was my initial impression, considering all the anti-vaccination talk, carnivorous diet with bars of butter and other trending content on Nostr.

The V4V R&D model strikes me as just a different form of gofundme campaigns. Just not the same vision, time preference or scale for most fields of research.

GoFundMe campaigns are more effective. You rarely walk away from a campaign without raising at least £200. Still, not enough for even the most basic R&D, and certainly not enough for anyone to make a living.
