as a go and bitcoin dev i can tell you stories about how incredibly weird the entire bitcoin funding culture is altogether. most of the money is going to people who are more influencoor than programmer, and certainly, very little at all is going to real engineers and problem solvers.

my work launching ten31 and opensats is mostly focused on fixing the issue you describe

πŸ™ it is thankless work too, i'm sure, so just doing my bit.

Thank you Matt πŸ«‚

I’d be curious to hear how you (and Ten31 generally) decipher the signal from the noise. But also, don’t leak alpha. πŸ˜†

That's a shame.

Do you have any idwa how to change this?

And yes,

i would be interwsted in reading this stories.

well, i just have some extraordinary experiences dealing with certain codebases that are funded by certain organisations and these experiences make me wonder how much money is actually going into them, what the culture of those who receive the money to work on them is, because it's sure seems difficult to get fixes merged in without having showed up at a conference to drink beer with them.

seems like it's mainly about marketing. it's a general thing in the world at large... quality things tend to be humbly presented.
