They changed their minds ? interesting
Now this is an interesting trend… 👀
What's that figure, anyone have any idea?
She's says "a percent" twice does that mean 1% ? Infinitely better than before
LFG!!
Are they also going to consider knots devs? or it will be limited to core devs?
HAVE SPOKEN TO LUKE ABOUT THIS AT LENGTH. HE DOES NOT NEED FUNDING BECAUSE HE IS GETTING PAID THROUGH OCEAN BUT OTHER KNOTS CONTRIBUTORS SHOULD APPLY.
Are marketers and technical writers part of this ecosystem?
I mean these are the people who are going to distribute the developers' products to normal humans.
ALL OPEN SOURCE CONTRIBUTORS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING. THAT INCLUDES NON DEVS.
That is very bullish.
Thanks for finding this page for me, will go through it and try to apply,
I want to build one open source media brand about bitcoin and it's use cases on big level.
Thanks again nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx
Huge!
Cathie has always been a supporter of innovation .. now she is a perpetual investor in hope !
#hatsOff #bitcoin #nostr
More companies need to support open source, both financially and direct work by their own developers. Kudos to ARK, well done 👏
Putting your money where you mouth is. From this time, I believe in her intentions.
She is sooo HOT! 🔥
she gets hotter in my eyes every time she does something magical like this
slow down there chief
she’s been a baddie since day 1

Yeah !!!
The second pic. Three in a row on the t-shirt (like your mallers shirt).
(Dorsey Shirt!)
I’m gonna gib it a try rn n see how it comes out, I made dis one rn tho, don’t really like it.. I think ur idea of 3 in a row like the Dorsey one is a guud idea!! 
i suck @ designs, this was best i could do with 15 mins 
I like the three cathies but try it with the B's all over
Quietly one of the best designs I've ever seen
This didn't get the credit it deserved
I’ve always been my worst critic 💀
Appreciate that Jor 🫂
I see why Dr Laffer's favorite student was her.
That’s her!! Daaaimn
Would
😂
She looks amazing for over 60!
THIS is signal. Not bullish yet?
Pretty cool. Makes a lot of sense from a business perspective.
I think it's important that we all keep supporting at an individual level so developers have income to fall back on if these companies start getting too pushy. A 'Fuck You' fund could be in order so developers can apply for funding if they ever find themselves in such a scenario.
LETS GO MAMA WOOD!

Saylor in disbelief
Great news showing great character by Cathie and Ark 🫶
DUDE! AWESOME!!
How’d you change the big guys mind? 👀
LFG!
Not asking for myself. But how could Satoshi himself have gotten any open source development support? Or an anonymous team doing for example, coinjoin/mixing, etc? We need an ecosystem that can support anonymous developers without them running away with it.
I’m just learning about NOSTR, and it seems to provide an answer to your valid question.
Her comments and commitment included other own source dev that are irrelevant to me.
I like your project btw Nobu. Have you seen this NIP yet? Looks a lot like what you're building
Thanks. I didn’t see this particular one, but I know of Mostro and RoboSats. I also know of a few efforts to try to standardize order formats on top of Nostr. I guess n3xB is one of them.
Main difference I see is n3xB wants to establish a neutral protocol that uses nostr as the primary database. Where-as most other efforts are existing P2P trading solutions trying to have some level of inter-compatibility with each other, and using Nostr as a cache or backup to their central trade coordinators.
I see it as trying to make Mastodon work with Blue Sky, instead of creating Nostr. Still hoping for a Nostr like, common neutral protocol first approach to P2P solutions, along with a intercompatible layered approach. I took the first stab at it by creating a defined spec and a base library implementation. Will see if the developer community think this is a worthwhile approach vs the likes of Mostro/RoboSats etc that already exists
partly, surely, shitcoin developers 🥴
Freedom warrior Queen! Be like Cathy Wood.

🔥🚀🧡💜
Giving an income percentage to finance public goods, sounds familiar. Open source work, actual public good.
Borderless public good too.
Odell mustache u a question real quick…..
🤝
Honest question - why is this good? Why would donations to open source avoid the problems that donations in any other context deal with?
donations are not the answer, we need proper investment platforms like geyser or angor in to the ecosystem.
What's the business model though? I'm not convinced there's a sustainable model for FOSS.
I think the better approach might be to let everyone get rich trading in the ecosystem and build the systems you want without needing to turn a profit off the code. Solves the conflict of interest and makes the market more positive sum.
"let everyone get rich trading" you do realise the contradiction in this sentence? trading doesn't create value it's just money moving hands, when you sell someone buys from you.
I agree it's harder to find business models in FOSS, but not impossible.
Ark needs to fix a WHOLE lot before they DONATE … ANYTHING
Great news!
So, I just zapped my last couple of Satoshi's to this post because: this is what it is all about.
I felt the emotion, I felt the fight for freedom, the fight for fairness.
I think fairness is the perfect word. It is not about someone being rich or not, it is about having the opportunities to be able to GET rich if you want to.
And that is exactly what you guys and girls are fighting for. Cathie, Odell, Jack (sorry if I don't know the others yet).
This is crazy. I am witnessing the greatest revolution of all time.
It sounds over exaggerating, but most people don't realize that, with the tech of today, there will be no escape to tyranny.
Tech is Godly powerful. That's why the people who fight for fairness in this game should be rewarded. With great power comes great responsibility and you folks are doing a great job at handling your power.
That's why I zapped my last Satoshi's to this post.
I thank you.
💪💪
Saylor hot tears
I don't understand where their revenues are coming from, given their poor performance.
BULLISH. 🫡
Such pledges are worthy of being inscribed on #Bitcoin !
Is this show available for us regular folks?
what's this perpetuity coin?
This is amazing. Open source for the win! 🙏
