After taking to heaps of devs working on bitcoin, it really seems the narrative of "There is not enough funding for bitcoin FOSS work" is a bunch of bullshit. The problem is most simply don't know there funding available, where and how to apply for it.
If you want to work full time on non-profit bitcoin and related tech just apply to #[0], Spiral, Brink and many others.
Don't be shy, stop asking for permission 🤗
Can I work on cold card open source?
Well we're 2 teachers in the education system teaching other professionals about Bitcoin. Objective, vetted and simple learning. We have proof of our work. But it's so challenging to build this when still working our jobs. We want to leave our jobs and work on this full time.
IMO we have great reputations, work hard and do a good job.
Launches a Geyser fund and little interest. Pitched maybe 5+ funding sources and no response.
If you can forward this to anyone you've heard of who could be interested, please do! Or drop a link too.
Thanks! 🐳

I realise were not back end developers or Foss developers but I think what we've done and are doing is very important and needed too.
Oh the irony.
