Because I'm angry at the community and it's hard to stop it from seeming directed at whoever I'm talking to, please let me inject this in the beginning of my reply: thank you for taking the time you've taken to discuss this.

Bitcoin was made long before Microsoft acquired GitHub. Not 8 YEARS AFTER. Satoshi Nakamoto wasn't even around by the time Microsoft acquired GitHub. Satoshi Nakamoto didn't have nostr. Bitcoin and Monero's devs should not have those projects on the worst possible git at this point, it lends itself to the argument that they're malware too.

And it's obviously worsened by all of these facts: that despite Garnet being a nostr client, these people working on it are using the worst possible git as a replacement for getting feedback from nostr users, instead of a supplement; that despite it being a nostr client, there is nowhere to report issues on nostr; that despite it being a nostr client, there are no nostr copies of the discussion threads on the git and on bounties.monero.social; that despite it being a nostr client, there aren't even fucking npubs copied and pasted in the threads.

These facts are ridiculous. If we're very lucky, Garnet is a good project and it's just the community encouraging shit like this that's causing devs to engage in such fucked up behavior. If we're not so lucky, a malicious copyright claim is building up where retnull wants to controll the Garnet name and use it to suck up oxygen from other similar projects while stagnating the development of Garnet so that nothing gets developed in this area. If we're very unlucky, retnull wants to build a honeypot that somehow ends up implementing spyware backdoors or worse, coin-stealing backdoors. I hope we are lucky, and if so, I'll be relieved to see proof in the form of retnull being an early adopter of ngit.
