Who is your favorite Bitcoin dev and why are you not monthly-funding that person?
Discussion
This note confused me. 😅
I don’t know any Bitcoin devs nor do I know what they do to even have a favorite.
What website reports on these type of things?
I'm thinking of creating a theme page on Nostr, especially writing about key events and key people who contribute to Bitcoin and Nostr.
I have a background in technical writing and computer science so can start this project.
Do you think, this will be helpful?
Probably. Someone will find it valuable. The key is translating Technical to Normie readable.
Agree 💯.
Yes.
Github. They have support button, but I prefer sending sats. The automated payments are getting better too, but I'm still having issues.
GitHub is the worst website I have ever visited.
I literally have no idea how any of it works. And I’m not exaggerating.
the worst? oh come on now. im sure there's dozens of airline websites that are ahead of github :)
And you haven't even bothered to mention cruise line websites.
I honestly think it would be easier to learn to code from scratch than to learn how to use that website.
There's a big learning curve and I'm still learning.

if dev = known_devs.sample

Additionally, why are you not funding political non-profits like Satoshi Action Fund who is helping get legislation passed to protect Bitcoin owners and miners?
Porque não os conheço. Além do mais, os buracos de segurança e a forma como tem tratado estes problemas apontam para situações mais sinistras do que simples censura de transações, que todos teimam achar super normal, apesar de bradarem aos ventos que BTC é sobre liberdade, e sobre a dinâmica das taxas de camada um que vai culminar em problemas para plebs em breve.
In the real world, the government raises taxes to fund public infrastructure. Pretty genius, huh?
Coerced taxation is theft. Let the market decide how capital is allocated.
And what's your answer for nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z who is begging for donations to devs. Is that your market? A market of beggars.
Here's the list of developers that have directly contributed to bitcoin. It is sorted by the amount of commits. Note that this does not mean they have written the most lines of code or made the biggest contributions perse. It is a good metric though.
nostr:npub1e0z776cpe0gllgktjk54fuzv8pdfxmq6smsmh8xd7t8s7n474n9smk0txy but i'm Monthly funding 7 other humans at the moment so spread a bit thin, but won't always be the case.
Eric Voskuil. He don't need it
Because I can't even afford food, and I'm sure you're doing better than me.
