We're committed to funding existing and new builders who can help extend and re-enforce Bitcoin's tools and ecosystem. What will the next decade of infrastructure building bring?

We need a second, well-funded, fully-independent node implementation from Bitcoin Core.
Bonus points if it come with open source code to run your own mining pool!
What would that achieve?
Decentralization from a single code base.
I think it would take a long time until people would trust the new code base over the old one.
It's ok. As long as we have a stable option, people can decide as we go.
I feel like this applies to specced protocols in general, but not sure about Bitcoin. The problem is that its consensus is always re-implemented from a reference client, and a bug free reimplementation is close to impossible imo.
It's important that the tech we build supports Bitcoin's core values: self-sovereignty through the preservation of anonymity, accessibility, and decentralization. Together, these values build us a system where trustless financial transactions without intermediaries are a tangible reality for all, not an imagined ideal.
