Jusr observed a weird conversation on Twitter. Mutiny seems to have had a bad day… 
Discussion
Probably stressed out, lately, with all the wallet drama.
Understandable, but still not nice. As far as I know Simplex is being developed by less than 3 main devs and their support is gorgeous 🤷🏻♂️ And I think projects like Simplex are way more at risk of being banned/compromised/blackmailed…
I get they’re a small team but the coinbase jab is quite dickish.
True, but still… Why not just create a Simplex or Matrix group and try to answer questions as promptly as possible 🤷🏻♂️
Yes, it could have been handled better. Support is hard! Most developers loathe it and don't want to do it.
This also sounds like a glorious internship for a young pleb looking to make a few sats in their spare time. 😉
It is super hard indeed and it deserves respect. I wish Mutiny could grow a community around them large enough to do self-support. nostr:npub1psm37hke2pmxzdzraqe3cjmqs28dv77da74pdx8mtn5a0vegtlas9q8970 is a great example in this respect.

Is it fair to call 300k pre-seed funding “minimally funded”?
Maybe in US it is.
Really? I didn‘t know this. For a team of 3 devs that’s an incredible start-up package.
Well, this definitely doesn’t add to their street credibility…
I have been informed that American devs really do earn that much, that 100k is just a normal salary.
Depends on where you live (Albuquerque, NM is not equal to NY), but that’s roughly the annual salary of a professor at a tier 1 US university. Now, I doubt that any fintech dev has an equivalent amount of work to do and the necessity to live near the expensive campus. So the actual salary you need for a living with this type of job is 50-60k. Therefore, 300k startup capital for a team of 3 people is a lot even in the US.
I think they all live in California or Massachusetts or something.
Normal devs don't have access to VC. At the most, OpenSats grants.
Bad for them then 🤷🏻♂️ There’s plenty of great places to live in the US as a freelance dev without having to spend your monthly income for an organic croissant in Whole Foods 😂 Dallas TX, Phoenix AZ, Denver CO and many others…
Yeah. 🤷♀️
(Although those are all expensive now, but you could move to someplace like Tennessee.)
And let them throw snakes at you at the pentecost 🤣
I use Mutiny with satisfaction, but in the past and still do every now and then there are hiccups, and whenever I have asked for help or information they have always been prompt and thorough.
Probably because I'm a early adopter of them walet but so far I can't complain about their customer service and I only gave them my support by buying Mutiny+ now for the opportunity to have a vanity lightning address.
It must have just been a bad day.

They would be flat out with the new version to debug, and a massive influx of people to debottleneck for.
Mutiny have a matrix chat. That's what they get you to use when you go to GitHub to raise an issue. 🤷♂️
🤷🏻♂️ miscommunication + bad day
Think they resolved the situation if you go look at the thread again
