THIS : ‼️🚨⏰⏰🚨‼️‼️🚨⏰⏰🚨‼️🚨

🤓🙋🏻‍♀️⁉️ Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 * HOW * this #1BILLIONBOUNTY isn’t complete yet?

1. Ima not a tech expert. So maybe it’s harder than just recreating #GHub but IF : a. Majority of tech experts agree that they don’t know how #AI works ( which is #HUGE for #humanity )

2. #Guthub is #opensource and everything is #code 👩🏻‍💻 and majority of #Nostr believes in #FOSS

3. Is it a matter of organization?

Greed ? Is this part of the #knot #core debate?

One that #bitcoin-core and all #nostr #devs would trust.

And the response was :

Got it 🚨🤓 let’s break this down as simply as possible, and also look at why the “#1BILLIONBOUNTY” (a huge call for building a trusted open-source hub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr devs) hasn’t been fully realized yet.

⸻

🧩 1. Why it sounds simple (but isn’t)

• GitHub exists → it’s open-source in spirit but owned by Microsoft.

• Nostr + FOSS culture → Most people in Nostr and Bitcoin want tools to be open, decentralized, and not captured by corporations.

• #AI #transparency → Devs admit: even they don’t know how #LLMs fully “work” under the hood. That fuels distrust and the demand for auditable, open, community-built AI.

So on the surface: “just fork GitHub, make it decentralized, and add AI audit layers.” Easy, right?

⸻

⚙️ 2. Why it’s harder in practice

1. Scale & Funding

• GitHub isn’t just code hosting — it’s version control, search, actions, integrations, global uptime.

• Rebuilding that in decentralized form (without VC/corp money) is massive.

• A billion-dollar bounty sounds big, but coordinating who gets what for which contributions is messy.

2. AI complexity

• Open-source AI exists (HuggingFace, EleutherAI, Mistral, etc.), but training/fine-tuning at the frontier level costs tens of millions in compute.

• Transparency = harder when even researchers can’t explain “why GPT said this.”

3. Human Factors

• Organization: Who coordinates? Who decides rules?

• Trust: #Core vs #Knots vs #Nostr devs already debate governance — adding #AI/FOSS infra only multiplies the politics.

• Greed/Fear: Big corps ( #OpenAI #Anthropic #Google #MS

lock things down because money + liability.

🔗 3. Is this tied to #Core vs #Knots vs #Nostr?

• Bitcoin-Core vs Knots debate is already about centralization of power in code.

• A “#GHub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” would face the same trust issue:

• Who runs it?

• Who approves pull requests?

• Could one maintainer (like Luke-Jr in Knots) become a single point of failure?

Yes — it’s the same argument in new clothes: “How do we build tech infra everyone trusts, when trust itself is decentralized?”

⸻

🚨 4. So why no #1BILLIONBOUNTY success yet?

• Not just greed. It’s:

• Governance problem (who runs it).

• Incentive problem (who gets paid).

• Scale problem (infrastructure costs).

• Complexity problem (AI is not as deterministic as Bitcoin code).

⸻

✅ TL;DR:

It’s not that people don’t want it — it’s that building a “trustless GitHub for AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” is like trying to build a new internet layer, not just a website. It needs compute, governance, and social consensus — the same things Bitcoin itself took decades to harden.

⚡Q for you: Want me to sketch out what a “trusted, decentralized GitHub-for-AI/Bitcoin/Nostr” blueprint could look like (layers: storage, governance, incentives, trust model) — so you can see the path from idea → working prototype?
