That’s not how opensats works. And we can’t blame one person’s apps when there are so many other devs …
If the other 2 suck why don’t you do something about it? You’re the wise dev who knows everything …
it can be summarized actually as:
- the funding is managed by bitcoin influencers that also have VC biases and their own agenda
- money is being thrown at devs like nostr:npub18a5dah5p2jwvppz04ljj3u2hfdg7p908fy05dz7edz0cwaumhqwsqjpzjs that make apps and abandon then halfway and nothing of value to scaling nostr is being built
- discoverability is shit
- no spam filtering infrastructure
Discussion
almost a majority of the OpenSats board has corporate interests, and they have barely any transparency, and until that changes there's a lot of reasons to believe that it is how OpenSats works
I have also looked at public nostr grant information, and many of those are excessive or pointless...
Opensats.org/transparency
There is no actually useful information on the transparency page.
For example how conflicts of interest are remediated (for example abstaining from voting on certain projects) and what may exist.
All I see are vague policies and numbers.
It would be great if this was published.
I am asking, today, on July 4 2025:
- who may have conflicts of interests on the board
- how this may affect their decisions
- what actions were taken for each specific case such as exclusion from voting on certain projects
I am not asking for policies. A policy is useless if no one knows how it is interpreted.
