The tone of this note is not constructive will only cause more people to question the motives behind the rejection of Peter Todd's grant application.

It is absolutely detestable that this individual, who operates a company that profits from bitcoin products that are not open source, and that had to be publicly pressured to take down marketing claims of those products being open source, is in a position where he influences decisions on literally millions of dollars of funding for other, legitimate, open source builders.

OpenSats will continue to struggle with credibility and public perception as long as nvk has a role of influence there. nostr:note1xwds3tyu4a6p5acwc74a272r3pd567ahpt0p3r69vg3cg56hpcts5gwf6n
