I certainly appreciate you. But saying Nostr wouldn't exist without him is like saying Bitcoin wouldn't exist without Saylor.
Discussion
That's not a good comparison.
Jack funded the first two nostr conferences himself (not sure about the third) and is the primary (nearly only) donor to opensats last I checked.
He also speaks publicly about it every chance he gets.
Saylor hasn't put a cent towards bitcoin development and he surely gets paid for appearing at conferences.
How much is Jack worth?
How much has he given?
What is that compared as a % to his worth?
It's less than .002% of his worth. It's like me having five hundred dollars in my pocket, and giving you a penny. Wow. I contributed.
He's buying good will.
This is the same argument leftists make about the rich paying their "fair share". It's not our job to allocate his capital. He earned it.
The fact remains that he has been a tremendous help in bootstrapping a technology that may still fail. He believes in it.
If you are interested in hearing how much he cares, check out the podcast I mentioned. He acknowledges he made mistakes in the past and he explains why in detail.
I don't have anything else to add.
Then if he's made mistakes, why does he push Blue cry? And I'm definitely not a lefty.
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
I've listened to him. I don't need to listen, when I see someone's actions.
I do what I say I'll do. He doesn't.
Hey so Iβm just jumping in here to let you know that Jack doesnβt push BlueSky since he found now, sourcenode is telling you to listen bc he talks about that, just like heβs talked about that on previous podcasts.. second chances are awesome.
Found nostr**
Brooo if you think thatβs nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m supporting BlueSky then you just donβt know Jack very well lmaoooooo
Nature is the badge of approval of it being completely captured
Heβs shitposting n heβs so good some people canβt tell
I just listened to him the other day with Odell, and he was pushing Blucry
If I lose you as a customer. I will hate that.
But truth needs to be spoken.
