👍👍 don’t get me wrong I really appreciate what I am seeing from him here.
Just reflecting that I won’t likely ever *truely know* the mind of a public figure.
But I am respecting the words and actions I am seeing.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m continues to support open source protocols with his voice, his bitcoin donations, his businesses, and most important… his time.
Any friend of freedom is a friend of mine.
And for that, I thank him. 🤙🏻

Agreed I trust no one fully. I need to do more research but I think he started or at least funded nostr. Some one will need to come on to propaganda daily and tell the story of nostr
nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 created Nostr.
First time the protocol ran was November 7th, 2020.
Developers like nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s worked on Clients throughout 2021-2022.
nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m granted 14 BTC to FiatJaf after nostr:npub1jlrs53pkdfjnts29kveljul2sm0actt6n8dxrrzqcersttvcuv3qdjynqn implemented major improvement in November / December 2022.
Since then Jack has set bounties (10 BTC if I remember correctly) to important client tasks.
After the initial funding news the Great Hatchening of December 2022 began.
This is my recollection. Correct me if I’m wrong. 🤙🏻 
Plebs tend to be history buffs…

I added some of the history in the blog I wrote I while ago.
This is great.
Also very curious about 2021/2022 and the genesis period.
I’m sure some great milestones were reached.
Whether nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 , nostr:npub1rvg76s0gz535txd9ypg2dfqv0x7a80ar6e096j3v343xdxyrt4ksmkxrck, or any other early devs / supporters could shine some light on those stepping stones.
The story should be heard.
Agreed
Fair enough. I think I started from the initial funding from Dorsey to damus team in December 2022.
Anything earlier was just handful of devs working on the project from what I been told.
nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s , nostr:npub1a8jzweysxa9qmtmht874736aalm0lwdsl306nrys9d05ktlrhw3qcr5pj4 , nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj , nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m among others would have some good stories I’m sure.
The story should enshrine the hard working devs in the history books. ✊🏻
This feels like a piece of Nostr history in the making. Way to go nostr:npub1fl7pr0azlpgk469u034lsgn46dvwguz9g339p03dpetp9cs5pq5qxzeknp 👍
