Replying to e76e7052...

Contrast this to the many complaints and requests for feature X or feature Y from people more accurately called “users” compared with this guy who’s apparently running an actual service and innovating atop the protocol.

Maybe you don’t want to implement the nip or don’t have time or don’t like his tone or whatever, but from the sidelines the discussion this morning seems myopic.

I appreciate this take, thank you. I definitely have been a little aggressive today so perhaps thats rubbing some people the wrong way. Perhaps there is some context lost too.

#[3]​ and I spent a good bit of time trying to improve NIP-42 to make it easier for clients to implement (so easy that even I could add it instead of offering bounties) but that work was shot down, so we have accepted the spec as it is. Now I’ve turned my focus to adoption. I don’t actually know how to properly implement it on clients as it is so I’m offering bounties instead.

Yeah, I’ve been seeing a lot of it. You’ve been “aggressively” looking to hand people money. 😆 “Please, make the thing everyone apparently wants! Here! Take my money! You need more? Tell me how much!”

That said, I suppose upon reflection you may learn a more prudent way to get stuff done. Just seems weird from my perspective on the sidelines. (Not involved in NIPs, not a client dev, not a customer of yours.)
