Well, in this case the mixer takes a fee - so why can't that be just evenly distributed in an automated manner based on how many lines of code you've committed?

Or even better, fuck the free riders, SeedSigner outperforms all other HWWs...how do they do that?

Love SS, but that’s a matter of opinion. There are pros/cons to every signing device.

The other players copying them not the other way around.

Speaks for itself & no one creates new features & more features faster or better.

I have every single HWW btw.

Well, they don’t produce hardware, so it’s naturally easier to iterate.

Sorry to break it to you, but the model you're using doesn't change the output.

It's either outcompeting or it's not.

Further, none of them produce their own hardware - they just assemble it for you.

“McDonalds doesn’t produce the BigMac- they just assemble it for you.”

Except they're so large they influence the production of each ingredient...

& What I said is true, if you can't handle it so be it.

Dude, I love SeedSigner. I’ve met SS (the man) and told him as much. I’ve assembled and used SS’s, and have donated to support their work.

But I also acknowledge that the Coldcard is a solid product, as well as several other signing devices, and that there’s pros and cons to each product.

There doesn’t need to be a vicious war between users. You can drink Coke and I drink Pepsi, and we’re both happy.

I have no idea what you're on about now,

We were discussing businesses vis a vie free open code models.

I just gave an example where the free software is leading the charge.

The Q model from Cuckkite is a perfect example of copying the leader.

SeedQR being adopted by Foundation & Jade signals the same.

Are you saying devs should write code that compensates themselves based on how many lines of code they wrote?

Do you get how bloated that codebase would get, and the perverse incentives it creates?

Maybe that's a bad way like you're saying but you can be creative in how you operate it.

I'm sure someone could come up with a good funding model that happens in a decentralized way.

And even if they can't, an open source code base lives on and can be worked on into the future at snails pace.

Better than funding douchetards that end up fucking you.
