I think lightning and nostr proved a very important concept that may have gone overlooked.

Using completely open protocols and freedom incentives, you all donated over 3.5m sats to me with one ask. This is actually a serious amount of money. No VCs, no boards, no strings. And we are still very small.

I hope this signals to other developers to take a chance and build on these protocols. The community highly values this kind of work.

I am extremely humbled by the outpouring of support, it did make me a bit emotional if I'm being honest. It's highly motivating to keep building, and it basically proves that nostr and lightning is definitely gonna make it.

Thank you all again so much 🥺🥺🫂🫂🙏🙏

Agree that we have something big developing here, but $3k is a small amount to fund a dev. Like 1 month of living? Your case is also looks exceptional. It's not happening on regular basis so it's hard to rely on it. We have a lot of room to grow.

I think the solution is for devs to monetize nostr apps in some form (or add donate option). The fact that many people have a wallet connected and it takes one click to pay is the game changer.
