A question was asked during the client panel at #Nostrica regarding if client developers would accept other funding such as VC-backed. Each developer answered it beautifully but I take a different approach.

My nostr software will never accept VC funding. It’s not in a state currently to even consider doing so, and in my opinion nostr is freedom and open and free code provides an outlet to those that ultimately need it in times of need.

Nothing against anyone that needs to procure funding as I’ve done that in other software markets. Each use case is different and I code as a hobby, not a full time job as they do so the parameters are different. It’s a tough situation as the panel articulately described.
