Have you asked to participate in the funding process?
Discussion
I have not. I think there was a nostr committee or something that assisted with picking candidates for that, but I can’t find the list anymore.
Be part of the solution and ask to participate. Could at least audit things or similar.
you mean be part of the empire? the empire won't be the solution ... and time will tell
nostr developers on a committee deciding over nostr grants.... could never ever possible lead to any kind of conflicts of interest.
😂
I don't actually know why we need developers for this. We have some very knowledgeable power users, now, who would be more impartial and still make informed decisions.
The power users could start their own fund?
Why do you think that isn't what this is?
Could see nodeless (the gofundme alternative thing) used more for smaller projects. Would be nice if it appeared as embeds inside posts with target and progress bar to goals.
Oooh... like a reverse-bounty. 👀
It isn’t
The only mention of the nostr committee they mentioned were full of either client devs with their own personal interests (devs should decide grants they have no stake in) or people with investments. A good chunk of the board isn’t involved with Nostr that much from what I see
That's... weird. 🤔
We also have zap goals, Geyser, zapvertising... many models in place to raise funds.
What conflicts of interest again?
They know how shit works. If client developers decide grants for libraries for example, it would be a win win: client devs are more experienced in that subject, they don’t make a lib themselves, and multiple devs means minimized conflicts of interest
Instead we have people building closed sourced products with investments in competitors and that don’t remotely touch Nostr dev work.
