awesome selection of projects

Thank you 🎉🙏

Big plans for Bitcoin-Safe.org

Funding Krux is a good thing, but it's only done because the project has no traction.

Exactly why SeedSigner was not funded - it has major traction.

What's the turn around with grant applicants? Curious how long ago most of these applicants applied before being granted?
