It depends. If you want less than two FTE devs on payroll the current rate that Will shared.

If you want to empower nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s with a team of e.g. five (5) devs, maybe a designer, and throw jet fuel in the nostr kindle you can extrapolate.

There is an argument made that nostr is layer 3, and few devs have done more to grow BTC/LN that nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s has with

1) the introduction of zaps

2) onboarding and educating of thousands to LN by way of nostr and an awesome user experience

nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f mission is to “support and maintain a sustainable ecosystem of funding for free and open-source projects and contributors, especially bitcoin-related projects and projects that help bitcoin flourish.”

“OpenSats provides funding for a variety of bitcoin-related projects, including:

Development of new bitcoin & bitcoin-adjacent software

Improvement of existing free and open-source software

Education and outreach about bitcoin

Research into bitcoin-related topics”

I would ask nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f if they have considered nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s for long term support given his merit and contributions in a short amount of time.

Probably I am biased - it seems that team nostr and team BTC would want to keep nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s not only onboard individually, but also empower him with a dev team to amplify his impact.
